Levitike 13
1 Yawe alobaki na Moyize mpe Aron:
The LORD spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,
2 « Soki poso ya nzoto ya moto ebimisi bambuma ya mike-mike to esali kolokoto to lipalata, bongo ezwi lolenge ya bokono ya maba, bakomema moto yango epai ya Nganga-Nzambe Aron to epai ya moko kati na bana na ye, Banganga-Nzambe.
“When a man shall have a swelling in his body’s skin, or a scab, or a bright spot, and it becomes in the skin of his body the plague of leprosy, then he shall be brought to Aaron the priest or to one of his sons, the priests.
3 Nganga-Nzambe akotala malamu poso ya nzoto oyo esili kozwa bokono. Soki amoni ete bapwale oyo ezali na esika oyo ezwi bokono na poso ebongwani mpe ekomi pembe; bongo bapota efungwami na poso ya nzoto, wana elakisi ete ezali bokono ya maba; mpe Nganga-Nzambe akoki koloba mbala moko ete moto yango azali mbindo.
The priest shall examine the plague in the skin of the body. If the hair in the plague has turned white, and the appearance of the plague is deeper than the body’s skin, it is the plague of leprosy; so the priest shall examine him and pronounce him unclean.
4 Soki lipalata oyo ebimi na poso ezali ya pembe mpe ezali kongenga, bongo efungwami te mpo na kosala pota na poso ya nzoto, Nganga-Nzambe akolongola kati na lisanga, moto oyo abeli mpe akotia ye na esika oyo akozala ye moko mikolo sambo.
If the bright spot is white in the skin of his body, and its appearance isn’t deeper than the skin, and its hair hasn’t turned white, then the priest shall isolate the infected person for seven days.
5 Sima na mikolo yango sambo, Nganga-Nzambe akotala ye lisusu malamu: soki amoni ete lipalata oyo ebimaki na poso ya nzoto efungwami te mpe epanzani te na nzoto mobimba, akotika moto oyo abeli na esika oyo atiaki ye mpo ete asala lisusu mikolo sambo.
The priest shall examine him on the seventh day. Behold, if in his eyes the plague is arrested and the plague hasn’t spread in the skin, then the priest shall isolate him for seven more days.
6 Sima na mikolo sambo yango, Nganga-Nzambe akotala ye lisusu malamu: soki lipalata oyo ebimaki na poso ya nzoto ekawuki mpe epanzani te na nzoto mobimba, Nganga-Nzambe akoloba ete moto yango azali mbindo te; ezali kolokoto ya pamba. Moto yango akosukola bilamba na ye mpo ete azali mbindo te.
The priest shall examine him again on the seventh day. Behold, if the plague has faded and the plague hasn’t spread in the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him clean. It is a scab. He shall wash his clothes, and be clean.
7 Nzokande, soki sima na Nganga-Nzambe kotala mpe koloba ete moto yango azali peto, kolokoto yango epanzani na poso, moto yango asengeli kozonga epai ya Nganga-Nzambe mpo ete atala ye lisusu.
But if the scab spreads on the skin after he has shown himself to the priest for his cleansing, he shall show himself to the priest again.
8 Soki amoni ete kolokoto epanzani na poso ya nzoto, Nganga-Nzambe akoloba ete moto yango azali na bokono ya maba mpe azali mbindo.
The priest shall examine him; and behold, if the scab has spread on the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean. It is leprosy.
9 Soki moto azwi bokono ya maba, basengeli komema ye epai ya Nganga-Nzambe.
“When the plague of leprosy is in a man, then he shall be brought to the priest;
10 Nganga-Nzambe akotala ye malamu. Soki amoni ete poso ya nzoto na ye ebimisi bambuma ya pembe ya mike-mike, ekomisi bapwale ya nzoto na ye pembe, efungwami mpe ebimisi bapota,
and the priest shall examine him. Behold, if there is a white swelling in the skin, and it has turned the hair white, and there is raw flesh in the swelling,
11 wana elakisi ete ezali bokono ya maba ya libela kati na poso ya nzoto na ye, mpe Nganga-Nzambe akoloba ete moto yango azali mbindo. Ekozala na tina te kotia ye na esika oyo akozala ye moko, pamba te emonani ete azali mbindo.
it is a chronic leprosy in the skin of his body, and the priest shall pronounce him unclean. He shall not isolate him, for he is already unclean.
12 Kasi soki bokono na ye ya maba ebimisi bambuma ya mike-mike na poso ya nzoto na ye mobimba, kobanda na moto kino na makolo, na bisika nyonso oyo Nganga-Nzambe akoki kotala,
“If the leprosy breaks out all over the skin, and the leprosy covers all the skin of the infected person from his head even to his feet, as far as it appears to the priest,
13 Nganga-Nzambe akotala ye lisusu malamu: soki amoni ete bambuma ya mike-mike etondi ye penza na nzoto mobimba, akoloba ete moto yango azali mbindo te mpo ete akomi pembe nzoto mobimba.
then the priest shall examine him. Behold, if the leprosy has covered all his flesh, he shall pronounce him clean of the plague. It has all turned white: he is clean.
14 Kasi akokoma mbindo na mokolo kaka poso ya nzoto na ye ekofungwama mpe ekobimisa bapota.
But whenever raw flesh appears in him, he shall be unclean.
15 Soki kaka Nganga-Nzambe atali mpe amoni bapota oyo ebimi na poso, akoloba ete moto yango azali mbindo mpe bapota oyo efungwami ezali mbindo: ezali bokono ya maba.
The priest shall examine the raw flesh, and pronounce him unclean: the raw flesh is unclean. It is leprosy.
16 Mpe soki bapota oyo efungwami ekomi lisusu pembe, moto yango akozonga lisusu epai ya Nganga-Nzambe
Or if the raw flesh turns again, and is changed to white, then he shall come to the priest.
17 mpo ete atala ye malamu. Soki Nganga-Nzambe amoni ete bapota yango ekomi penza pembe, akoloba ete nzoto ezali mbindo te mpe ye moko moto yango azali mbindo te.
The priest shall examine him. Behold, if the plague has turned white, then the priest shall pronounce him clean of the plague. He is clean.
18 Soki moto moko abelaki bibon mpe yango ekawuki;
“When the body has a boil on its skin, and it has healed,
19 bongo bambuma mike-mike ya pembe to lipalata ya mwa pembe mpe mwa motane ebimi na esika oyo bibon ezalaki, moto yango asengeli kokende epai ya Nganga-Nzambe oyo akotala ye malamu.
and in the place of the boil there is a white swelling, or a bright spot, reddish-white, then it shall be shown to the priest.
20 Soki Nganga-Nzambe amoni ete lidusu moko esalemi na poso ya nzoto ya moto wana, bapwale na ye ebongwani mpe ekomi pembe, akoloba ete moto yango azali mbindo, pamba te ezali bokono ya maba oyo ebimi na esika oyo elembo ya pota ya bibon ezali.
The priest shall examine it. Behold, if its appearance is deeper than the skin, and its hair has turned white, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean. It is the plague of leprosy. It has broken out in the boil.
21 Nzokande, soki na ngonga ya kotala ye, Nganga-Nzambe amoni te bapwale ya moto yango kobongwana pembe mpe lidusu kosalema na poso na ye, akotia ye na esika oyo akozala ye moko mpo na mikolo sambo.
But if the priest examines it, and behold, there are no white hairs in it, and it isn’t deeper than the skin, but is dim, then the priest shall isolate him seven days.
22 Sima na yango, soki Nganga-Nzambe amoni ete lipalata yango epanzani na poso ya nzoto, akoloba ete moto yango azali mbindo, pamba te azali na bokono ya maba.
If it spreads in the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean. It is a plague.
23 Kasi soki lipalata yango epanzani te, wana elakisi ete ezali bobele elembo ya pota ya bibon; mpe Nganga-Nzambe akoloba ete moto yango azali na ye mbindo te.
But if the bright spot stays in its place, and hasn’t spread, it is the scar from the boil; and the priest shall pronounce him clean.
24 Soki poso ya nzoto ya moto moko eziki na moto, bongo litono moko ya pembe to ya motane esalemi kati na esika oyo eziki,
“Or when the body has a burn from fire on its skin, and the raw flesh of the burn becomes a bright spot, reddish-white, or white,
25 Nganga-Nzambe akotala moto yango malamu: soki bapwale oyo ezali kati na litono ebongwani, ekomi pembe mpe litono yango kati na poso ebongwani, esali pota: elakisi ete ezali bokono ya maba nde ebimi na esika oyo ezikaki. Boye, Nganga-Nzambe akoloba ete moto yango azali mbindo, pamba te azali na bokono ya maba.
then the priest shall examine it; and behold, if the hair in the bright spot has turned white, and its appearance is deeper than the skin, it is leprosy. It has broken out in the burning, and the priest shall pronounce him unclean. It is the plague of leprosy.
26 Nzokande, soki tango Nganga-Nzambe atali moto yango malamu, amoni te bapwale ya pembe kati na litono; mpe soki litono ebongwani te, esali na yango pota te na poso mpe epanzani te; akotia ye na esika oyo akozala ye moko mpo na mikolo sambo.
But if the priest examines it, and behold, there is no white hair in the bright spot, and it isn’t deeper than the skin, but has faded, then the priest shall isolate him seven days.
27 Na mokolo ya sambo, Nganga-Nzambe akotala ye malamu: soki litono epanzani solo na poso, Nganga-Nzambe akoloba ete moto yango azali mbindo, pamba te ezali bokono ya maba.
The priest shall examine him on the seventh day. If it has spread in the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean. It is the plague of leprosy.
28 Nzokande, soki litono yango etikali kaka esika moko, epanzani te na poso kasi ekawuki, wana etalisi ete ezali kaka kobeba ya poso ya nzoto mpo na kozika na ye na moto. Boye Nganga-Nzambe akoloba ete azali mbindo te, pamba te ezali kaka elembo ya pota ya moto.
If the bright spot stays in its place, and hasn’t spread in the skin, but is faded, it is the swelling from the burn, and the priest shall pronounce him clean, for it is the scar from the burn.
29 Soki mobali to mwasi abeli bokono ya poso ya nzoto, ezala na moto to na mbanga,
“When a man or woman has a plague on the head or on the beard,
30 Nganga-Nzambe akotala malamu poso ya nzoto ya moto yango: soki amoni ete bapota ebimi na poso ya nzoto ya moto yango, bapwale eteli mpe kotela na yango epanzani, akoloba ete mobali to mwasi yango azali mbindo, pamba te ezali lipalata ya moto to ya mbanga.
then the priest shall examine the plague; and behold, if its appearance is deeper than the skin, and the hair in it is yellow and thin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean. It is an itch. It is leprosy of the head or of the beard.
31 Nzokande, soki Nganga-Nzambe amoni ete poso ya nzoto ebimisi na yango bapota te, atako bapwale ezali kaka ya mwindo, akotia ye na esika oyo akozala ye moko mpo na mikolo sambo.
If the priest examines the plague of itching, and behold, its appearance isn’t deeper than the skin, and there is no black hair in it, then the priest shall isolate the person infected with itching seven days.
32 Na mokolo ya sambo, Nganga-Nzambe akotala malamu poso: soki bokono yango epanzani te, bapwale eteli te, bapota ebimi te na poso,
On the seventh day the priest shall examine the plague; and behold, if the itch hasn’t spread, and there is no yellow hair in it, and the appearance of the itch isn’t deeper than the skin,
33 mobeli akokokola suki na ye kasi akotika suki oyo ezali na bisika oyo bokono emonani. Bongo Nganga-Nzambe akotia lisusu mobeli na esika oyo akozala ye moko mpo na mikolo sambo.
then he shall be shaved, but he shall not shave the itch. Then the priest shall isolate the one who has the itch seven more days.
34 Na mokolo ya sambo, Nganga-Nzambe akotala malamu bokono yango ya poso ya nzoto: soki epanzani te mpe ebimisi bapota te, Nganga-Nzambe akoloba ete mobali to mwasi yango azali mbindo te. Boye mobali to mwasi yango akosukola kaka bilamba na ye mpe akokoma peto.
On the seventh day, the priest shall examine the itch; and behold, if the itch hasn’t spread in the skin, and its appearance isn’t deeper than the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him clean. He shall wash his clothes and be clean.
35 Nzokande, atako Nganga-Nzambe asili koloba ete mobali to mwasi wana azali peto kasi soki bokono yango epanzani ye kaka na poso ya nzoto,
But if the itch spreads in the skin after his cleansing,
36 Nganga-Nzambe akotala malamu: lokola bokono epanzani ye penza na poso ya nzoto, ekozala na tina te ete Nganga-Nzambe aluka lisusu koyeba soki bapwale eteli to te, pamba te mobali to mwasi yango azali penza mbindo.
then the priest shall examine him; and behold, if the itch has spread in the skin, the priest shall not look for the yellow hair; he is unclean.
37 Nzokande, soki bokono epanzani na yango te mpe bapwale ya mwindo ebimi na bisika oyo bokono ezali, wana elakisi ete mobeli abiki na bokono na ye mpe azali peto: Nganga-Nzambe akoloba ete azali peto.
But if in his eyes the itch is arrested and black hair has grown in it, then the itch is healed. He is clean. The priest shall pronounce him clean.
38 Soki mobali to mwasi amoni matono ya pembe kobima na poso ya nzoto na ye,
“When a man or a woman has bright spots in the skin of the body, even white bright spots,
39 Nganga-Nzambe akotala ye malamu: soki pembe ya matono yango ezali na yango ya pete, wana elakisi ete ezali na yango penza bokono te: moto yango azali peto.
then the priest shall examine them. Behold, if the bright spots on the skin of their body are a dull white, it is a harmless rash. It has broken out in the skin. He is clean.
40 Soki suki ya mobali moko ekatani, bongo akomi na libandi, elakisi te ete akomi mbindo.
“If a man’s hair has fallen from his head, he is bald. He is clean.
41 Soki suki yango ekataneli ye na mbunzu, bongo akomi na libandi, wana elakisi ete azali peto.
If his hair has fallen off from the front part of his head, his forehead is bald. He is clean.
42 Kasi soki lipalata moko ya mwa pembe mpe ya mwa motane ebimi ye na libandi, ezala na dikosi to na mbunzu, wana elakisi ete bokono ya maba ebandi kobima ye na libandi.
But if a reddish-white plague is in the bald head or the bald forehead, it is leprosy breaking out in his bald head or his bald forehead.
43 Nganga-Nzambe akotala ye malamu: soki amoni ete bokono yango ya maba ebandi kobimisa bambuma ya mike-mike ya mwa pembe mpe ya mwa motane, ezala na dikosi to na mbunzu; wana elakisi ete azali na bokono ya maba na libandi.
Then the priest shall examine him. Behold, if the swelling of the plague is reddish-white in his bald head, or in his bald forehead, like the appearance of leprosy in the skin of the body,
44 Boye mobali yango azali na bokono ya maba, azali mbindo; mpe Nganga-Nzambe asengeli koloba ete azali mbindo mpo na bokono oyo akomi na yango na moto.
he is a leprous man. He is unclean. The priest shall surely pronounce him unclean. His plague is on his head.
45 Moto oyo azwi bokono ya boye asengeli kolata bilamba epasuka, akokatisa suki te, akozipa mandefu na ye mpe akoganga: ‹ Mbindo! Mbindo! ›
“The leper in whom the plague is shall wear torn clothes, and the hair of his head shall hang loose. He shall cover his upper lip, and shall cry, ‘Unclean! Unclean!’
46 Lokola bokono oyo akomi na yango ezali mbindo, ye moko mpe akozala mbindo. Boye akotonga ndako na ye mosika na bato mpe akovanda libanda ya molako.
All the days in which the plague is in him he shall be unclean. He is unclean. He shall dwell alone. His dwelling shall be outside of the camp.
47 Soki elamba ya kolata ezwi mbungi, ebebi mpe ekomi lokola nzoto ya moto oyo abeli bokono ya maba, ezala elamba basala na lino to na bapwale ya meme
“The garment also that the plague of leprosy is in, whether it is a woolen garment, or a linen garment;
48 to elamba ya pete to elamba ya lino mpo na komibatela na malili to elamba basala na bapwale ya meme to mpe ezala mbungi yango emonani na likolo ya eloko basala na kapo ya pete to na kapo ya makasi,
whether it is in warp or woof; of linen or of wool; whether in leather, or in anything made of leather;
49 soki mbungi yango ezwi langi ya mayi ya pondu to ezwi langi ya motane, na likolo ya elamba, wana elakisi ete ezali litono ya maba; boye basengeli komema yango epai ya Nganga-Nzambe mpo ete atala yango malamu.
if the plague is greenish or reddish in the garment, or in the leather, or in the warp, or in the woof, or in anything made of leather; it is the plague of leprosy, and shall be shown to the priest.
50 Sima na Nganga-Nzambe kotala yango malamu, akotia yango na esika oyo ekozala yango moko mpo na mikolo sambo.
The priest shall examine the plague, and isolate the plague seven days.
51 Na mokolo ya sambo, Nganga-Nzambe akotala lisusu malamu litono yango. Soki amoni ete epanzani na likolo ya elamba ya kolata, ya elamba ya pamba, ya elamba ya malili to na likolo ya kapo; wana elakisi ete ezali litono ya bokono ya maba oyo bakoki kolongola te mpe elakisi lisusu ete elamba yango ezali mbindo.
He shall examine the plague on the seventh day. If the plague has spread in the garment, either in the warp, or in the woof, or in the skin, whatever use the skin is used for, the plague is a destructive mildew. It is unclean.
52 Boye basengeli kotumba elamba yango, atako ezali ndenge nini, pamba te ezali na litono oyo bakoki kolongola te: basengeli kotumba yango.
He shall burn the garment, whether the warp or the woof, in wool or in linen, or anything of leather, in which the plague is, for it is a destructive mildew. It shall be burned in the fire.
53 Nzokande, soki sima na kotala elamba yango malamu, Nganga-Nzambe amoni ete litono epanzani te na likolo ya elamba yango to na likolo ya kapo,
“If the priest examines it, and behold, the plague hasn’t spread in the garment, either in the warp, or in the woof, or in anything of skin;
54 Nganga-Nzambe akopesa mitindo ete basukola yango; bongo akotia yango lisusu na esika oyo ekozala yango moko mpo na mikolo sambo.
then the priest shall command that they wash the thing that the plague is in, and he shall isolate it seven more days.
55 Sima na kosukola yango, Nganga-Nzambe akotala lisusu malamu litono; soki amoni ete ebongwani te mpe epanzani na yango te, wana elakisi ete elamba ezali mbindo mpe esengeli kotumba yango na moto: ezali elamba oyo ebebi na liboso mpe na sima.
Then the priest shall examine it, after the plague is washed; and behold, if the plague hasn’t changed its color, and the plague hasn’t spread, it is unclean; you shall burn it in the fire. It is a mildewed spot, whether the bareness is inside or outside.
56 Nzokande, soki Nganga-Nzambe, sima na kotala malamu elamba, amoni ete litono elongwaki na tango basukolaki elamba; akokata kaka eteni ya elamba epai wapi litono ezali.
If the priest looks, and behold, the plague has faded after it is washed, then he shall tear it out of the garment, or out of the skin, or out of the warp, or out of the woof;
57 Soki sima na mwa tango, litono yango ezongi lisusu, wana elakisi ete ezali bokono ya maba oyo ezali kokola. Boye esengeli kotumba na moto eteni oyo ezali na litono na elamba.
and if it appears again in the garment, either in the warp, or in the woof, or in anything of skin, it is spreading. You shall burn what the plague is in with fire.
58 Tango bakosukola elamba oyo ezali na litono, soki litono yango elongwe, esengeli kosukola yango lisusu na mbala ya mibale mpo ete ezala peto. »
The garment, either the warp, or the woof, or whatever thing of skin it is, which you shall wash, if the plague has departed from them, then it shall be washed the second time, and it will be clean.”
59 Wana nde mitindo oyo etali litono ya bokono ya maba na likolo ya elamba basala na bapwale ya meme to elamba ya lino, na likolo ya eloko nyonso basala na poso ya nyama, mpo na koyeba soki elamba ezali peto to mbindo.
This is the law of the plague of mildew in a garment of wool or linen, either in the warp, or the woof, or in anything of skin, to pronounce it clean, or to pronounce it unclean.
