Levitikosy 13

1 Ary Jehovah niteny tamin’ i Mosesy sy Arona ka nanao hoe:

Then the LORD said to Moses and Aaron,

2 Raha misy mamontsina eo amin’ ny hoditry ny nofon’ ny olona, na misy manako-pery na misy mifaritra mangirana, ka eo amin’ ny hoditry ny nofony tahaka ny habokana izany, dia ho entina ho eo amin’ i Arona mpisorona izy, na ho eo amin’ izay iray amin’ ny mpisorona, zanak’ i Arona;

“When someone has a swelling or rash or bright spot on his skin that could become an infectious skin disease, he must be brought to Aaron the priest or to one of his sons who is a priest.

3 koa raha zahan’ ny mpisorona ny aretina eo amin’ ny hoditry ny nofo, ka efa niova ho fotsy ny volo eo amin’ ny aretina, ary efa lalina noho ny hoditry ny nofo no fijeriny ny aretina, dia habokana izany; ary raha zahan’ ny mpisorona izy, dia hataony hoe maloto.

The priest is to examine the infection on his skin, and if the hair in the infection has turned white and the sore appears to be deeper than the skin, it is a skin disease. After the priest examines him, he must pronounce him unclean.

4 Fa raha misy mifaritra fotsy mangirana kosa eo amin’ ny hoditry ny nofony, nefa tsy lalina noho ny hoditra no fijeriny azy, ary tsy niova ho fotsy ny volony, dia hatokan’ ny mpisorona toerana hafitoana ilay marary.

If, however, the spot on his skin is white and does not appear to be deeper than the skin, and the hair in it has not turned white, the priest shall isolate the infected person for seven days.

5 Ary raha zahan’ ny mpisorona amin’ ny andro fahafito izy, ka hitany fa tsy mitombo ny aretina sady tsy manitatra eo amin’ ny hoditra, dia hatokany toerana hafitoana indray izy;

On the seventh day the priest is to reexamine him, and if he sees that the infection is unchanged and has not spread on the skin, the priest must isolate him for another seven days.

6 ary raha zahan’ ny mpisorona indray amin’ ny andro fahafito izy, ka hitany fa matromatroka ny aretina sady tsy manitatra eo amin’ ny hoditra, dia hataony hoe madio izy: manako-pery ihany izany, ka hanasa ny fitafiany izy, dia hadio.

The priest will examine him again on the seventh day, and if the sore has faded and has not spread on the skin, the priest shall pronounce him clean; it is a rash. The person must wash his clothes and be clean.

7 Fa raha nanitatra teo amin’ ny hodiny kosa ny manako-pery, taorian’ ny nisehoany tamin’ ny mpisorona ny amin’ ny fanadiovana azy, dia hiseho amin’ ny mpisorona indray izy.

But if the rash spreads further on his skin after he has shown himself to the priest for his cleansing, he must present himself again to the priest.

8 Ary raha zahan’ ny mpisorona izy, ka hitany fa manitatra eo amin’ ny hoditra ny manako-pery, dia hataony hoe maloto izy: habokana izany.

The priest will reexamine him, and if the rash has spread on the skin, the priest must pronounce him unclean; he has a skin disease.

9 Raha misy habokana amin’ ny olona, dia ho entina any amin’ ny mpisorona izy;

When anyone develops a skin disease, he must be brought to the priest.

10 ary raha zahan’ ny mpisorona izy, ka hitany fa misy mamontsina fotsy eo amin’ ny hoditra, sady efa niova ho fotsy ny volo, ary misy nofo mangenahena hita eo amin’ ny mamontsina,

The priest will examine him, and if there is a white swelling on the skin that has turned the hair white, and there is raw flesh in the swelling,

11 dia habokana efa ela teo amin’ ny hoditry ny nofony izany, ka hataon’ ny mpisorona hoe maloto izy; tsy hatokany toerana akory izy, fa efa maloto.

it is a chronic skin disease and the priest must pronounce him unclean. He need not isolate him, for he is unclean.

12 Ary raha mipoipoitra mihitsy eo amin’ ny hoditra ny habokana, ary manenika ny hoditr’ ilay marary hatramin’ ny lohany ka hatramin’ ny tongony, na aiza na aiza zahan’ ny mpisorona,

But if the skin disease breaks out all over his skin so that it covers all the skin of the infected person from head to foot, as far as the priest can see,

13 ary zahan’ ny mpisorona, ka hitany fa manenika ny tenany rehetra ny habokana, dia hataony hoe madio ilay marary; fa efa niova ho fotsy avokoa izy, ka dia madio.

the priest shall examine him, and if the disease has covered his entire body, he is to pronounce the infected person clean. Since it has all turned white, he is clean.

14 Fa raha misy nofo mangenahena miseho eo aminy, dia haloto izy.

But whenever raw flesh appears on someone, he will be unclean.

15 Ary raha zahan’ ny mpisorona ny nofo mangenahena, dia hataony hoe maloto izy; fa maloto ny nofo mangenahena: habokana izany.

When the priest sees the raw flesh, he must pronounce him unclean. The raw flesh is unclean; it is a skin disease.

16 Ary raha miova ny nofo mangenahena ka tonga fotsy, dia hankeo amin’ ny Mpisorona izy;

But if the raw flesh changes and turns white, he must go to the priest.

17 ary raha zahan’ ny mpisorona ilay marary, ka hitany fa tonga fotsy ny aretina, dia hataon’ ny mpisorona hoe madio izy, fa efa madio.

The priest will reexamine him, and if the infection has turned white, the priest is to pronounce the infected person clean; then he is clean.

18 Ary raha misy fery sitrana eo amin’ ny hoditry ny nofo,

When a boil appears on someone’s skin and it heals,

19 ary misy fotsy mamontsina eo amin’ ny holatry ny fery, na misy holamena, dia hiseho amin’ ny mpisorona izy.

and a white swelling or a reddish-white spot develops where the boil was, he must present himself to the priest.

20 Ary raha zahan’ ny mpisorona izy, ka lalina noho ny hoditra no fijeriny azy, ary efa niova ho fotsy ny volony, dia hataon’ ny mpisorona hoe maloto izy: habokana efa mipoitra eo amin’ ny fery izany.

The priest shall examine it, and if it appears to be beneath the skin and the hair in it has turned white, the priest shall pronounce him unclean; it is a diseased infection that has broken out in the boil.

21 Fa raha zahan’ ny mpisorona izy, ka hitany fa tsy misy volo fotsy eo, ary tsy lalina noho ny hoditra izy sady matromatroka ihany, dia hatokan’ ny mpisorona toerana hafitoana izy;

But when the priest examines it, if there is no white hair in it, and it is not beneath the skin and has faded, the priest shall isolate him for seven days.

22 ary raha nanitra mihitsy teo amin’ ny hoditra izany, dia hataon’ ny mpisorona hoe maloto izy: habokana izany.

If it spreads any further on the skin, the priest must pronounce him unclean; it is an infection.

23 Fa raha tsy mitombo ny faritra mangirana, ka tsy manitatra, dia fahamaimaizana eo amin’ ny fery izany; ary hataon’ ny mpisorona hoe madio.

But if the spot remains unchanged and does not spread, it is only the scar from the boil, and the priest shall pronounce him clean.

24 Ary raha misy main’ ny afo eo amin’ ny hoditry ny nofo, ary hita ny may, fa mitarehi-kola-mena,

When there is a burn on someone’s skin and the raw area of the burn becomes reddish-white or white,

25 ary zahan’ ny mpisorona ka hitany fa efa niova ho fotsy ny volo eo amin’ ny itoeran’ ny mifaritra mangirana, ary lalina noho ny hoditra no fijeriny azy, dia habokana efa mipoipoitra eo amin’ ny may izany, ka hataon’ ny mpisorona hoe maloto, habokana izany.

the priest must examine it. If the hair in the spot has turned white and the spot appears to be deeper than the skin, it is a disease that has broken out in the burn. The priest must pronounce him unclean; it is a diseased infection.

26 Fa raha zahan’ ny mpisorona izy, ka hitany fa tsy misy volo fotsy eo amin’ ny mifaritra mangirana, ary tsy lalina noho ny hoditra izy sady matromatroka ihany, dia hatokan’ ny mpisorona toerana hafitoana izy,

But if the priest examines it and there is no white hair in the spot, and it is not beneath the skin but has faded, the priest shall isolate him for seven days.

27 ary raha zahan’ ny mpisorona amin’ ny andro fahafito izy, ka nanitatra mihitsy teo amin’ ny hoditra izany, dia hataony hoe maloto: habokana izany.

On the seventh day the priest is to reexamine him, and if it has spread further on the skin, the priest must pronounce him unclean; it is a diseased infection.

28 Ary raha tsy mitombo ny faritra fotsy mangirana ka tsy nanitatra teo amin’ ny hoditra, fa matromatroka ihany, dia mamontsina eo amin’ ny may izany; ary hataon’ ny mpisorona hoe madio izy fa fahamaimaizana ihany izany.

But if the spot is unchanged and has not spread on the skin but has faded, it is a swelling from the burn, and the priest is to pronounce him clean; for it is only the scar from the burn.

29 Ary raha misy lehilahy na vehivavy manana aretina eo amin’ ny lohany na eo amin’ ny saokany,

If a man or woman has an infection on the head or chin,

30 ary zahan’ ny mpisorona ny aretina, ka lalina noho ny hoditra no fijeriny azy, ary misy volo madinika tomamotamo eo, dia hataon’ ny mpisorona hoe maloto izy, olona kongonina izany, dia habokana eo amin’ ny loha na eo amin’ ny saoka izy.

the priest shall examine the infection, and if it appears to be deeper than the skin and the hair in it is yellow and thin, the priest must pronounce him unclean; it is a scaly outbreak, an infectious disease of the head or chin.

31 Fa raha zahan’ ny mpisorona ny kongonina, ka tsy lalina noho ny hoditra no fijeriny azy, nefa tsy misy volo mainty eo, dia hatokany toerana hafitoana ilay olona kongonina.

But if the priest examines the scaly infection and it does not appear to be deeper than the skin, and there is no black hair in it, the priest shall isolate the infected person for seven days.

32 Ary raha zahan’ ny mpisorona ny aretina amin’ ny andro fahafito, ka hitany fa tsy nanitatra ny aretina, atỳ tsy misy volo tomamotamo eo, ary tsy lalina noho ny hoditra no fijeriny azy,

On the seventh day the priest is to reexamine the infection, and if the scaly outbreak has not spread and there is no yellow hair in it, and it does not appear to be deeper than the skin,

33 dia hiharatra izy, fa ny misy ny aretina tsy hoharatany; ary hatokan’ ny mpisorona toerana hafitoana indray ilay olona kongonina.

then the person must shave himself except for the scaly area. Then the priest shall isolate him for another seven days.

34 Ary raha zahan’ ny mpisorona amin’ ny andro fahafito ny kongonina, ka hitany fa tsy nanitatra teo amin’ ny hoditra ny aretina, ary tsy lalina noho ny hoditra no fijeriny azy, dia hataon’ ny mpisorona hoe madio izy; ary hanasa ny fitafiany izy, dia hadio.

On the seventh day the priest shall examine the scaly outbreak, and if it has not spread on the skin and does not appear to be deeper than the skin, the priest is to pronounce him clean. He must wash his clothes, and he will be clean.

35 Fa raha nanitatra teo amin’ ny hoditra mihitsy ny aretina, rehefa natao hoe madio izy,

If, however, the scaly outbreak spreads further on the skin after his cleansing,

36 dia hozahan’ ny mpisorona izy, ka raha nitany fa nanitatra teo amin’ ny hoditra ny aretina, dia tsy hitady ny volo tomamotamo intsony ny mpisorona; efa maloto izy.

the priest is to examine him, and if the scaly outbreak has spread on the skin, the priest need not look for yellow hair; the person is unclean.

37 Nefa raha hitany fa tsy mitombo ny aretina, ka misy volo mainty maniry eo, dia sitrana ny kongonina, ka madio izy; ary hataon’ ny mpisorona hoe madio.

If, however, in his sight the scaly outbreak is unchanged and black hair has grown in it, then it has healed. He is clean, and the priest is to pronounce him clean.

38 Ary raha misy lehilahy na vehivavy misy mifaritra mangirana eo amin’ ny hoditry ny nofony, dia mifaritra fotsy mangirana,

When a man or a woman has white spots on the skin,

39 ary zahan’ ny mpisorona, ka hitany fa misy mifaritra fotsy eo amin’ ny hoditry ny nofony mangirana, nefa matromatroka, dia aretina mamentimpetina fotsy mipoipoitra eo amin’ ny hoditra izany, madio izany.

the priest shall examine them, and if the spots are dull white, it is a harmless rash that has broken out on the skin; the person is clean.

40 Ary ny amin’ ny lehilahy mihintsam-bolon-doha, dia sola ihany izy ka madio.

Now if a man loses his hair and is bald, he is still clean.

41 Ary raha mihintsana ny volony eo ambonin’ ny handriny, dia mazavaray ihany izy ka madio.

Or if his hairline recedes and he is bald on his forehead, he is still clean.

42 Fa raha misy aretina tera-mena sady fotsy, na eo amin’ ny loha sola, na eo amin’ ny mazavaray, dia boka mipoipoitra amin’ ny loha sola, na amin’ ny mazavaray izany

But if there is a reddish-white sore on the bald head or forehead, it is an infectious disease breaking out on it.

43 Ary raha zahan’ ny mpisorona izy ka hitany fa tera-mena somary fotsy no famontsin’ ny aretina eo amin’ ny loha sola, na eo amin’ ny mazavaray, tahaka ny fisehon’ ny habokana eo amin’ ny hoditry ny nofo,

The priest is to examine him, and if the swelling of the infection on his bald head or forehead is reddish-white like a skin disease,

44 dia lehilahy boka izy ka maloto; hataon’ ny mpisorona hoe maloto tokoa izy: eo amin’ ny lohany ny aretina.

the man is diseased; he is unclean. The priest must pronounce him unclean because of the infection on his head.

45 Ary ny amin’ izay efa boka mihitsy, dia lamba triatra no ho fitafiany, ary hirakaraka ny volony, dia hisarom-bava izy sady hiantsoantso hoe: Maloto e! maloto e!

A diseased person must wear torn clothes and let his hair hang loose, and he must cover his mouth and cry out, ‘Unclean, unclean!’

46 Amin’ ny andro rehetra izay haharariany amin’ izany aretina izany dia haloto izy; eny, maloto izy, dia hitoetra mitokana, ka eny ivelan’ ny toby no itoerany.

As long as he has the infection, he remains unclean. He must live alone in a place outside the camp.

47 Amin’ ny fitafiana izay misy habokana, na fitafiana volon’ ondry, na fitafiana rongony,

If any fabric is contaminated with mildew —any wool or linen garment,

48 sy izay ho an’ ny tenany, na izay ho fahany, na rongony, na volon’ ondry, ary ny hoditra, na izay zavatra natao tamin’ ny hoditra,

any weave or knit of linen or wool, or any article of leather—

49 raha maitsomaitso na menamena eo amin’ ny fitafiana ny aretina, na eo amin’ ny hoditra, na eo amin’ izay ho tenany, na izay ho fahany, na eo amin’ ny zavatra natao tamin’ ny hoditra, dia habokana izany ka haseho amin’ ny mpisorona.

and if the mark in the fabric, leather, weave, knit, or leather article is green or red, then it is contaminated with mildew and must be shown to the priest.

50 Ary hozahan’ ny mpisorona ny aretina ka hatokana toerana hafitoana ilay zavatra misy azy.

And the priest is to examine the mildew and isolate the contaminated fabric for seven days.

51 Ary raha zahany ny aretina amin’ ny andro fahafito, ka nanitatra teo amin’ ny fitafiana ny aretina, na teo amin’ izay ho tenany, na izay ho fahany, na teo amin’ ny zavatra natao tamin’ ny hoditra, dia habokana mafy izany, ka dia maloto.

On the seventh day the priest shall reexamine it, and if the mildew has spread in the fabric, weave, knit, or leather, then regardless of how it is used, it is a harmful mildew; the article is unclean.

52 Dia hodorana ny fiafiana, na izay ho an’ ny tenany, na izay ho fahany, na volon’ ondry, na rongony, na izay zavatra natao tamin’ ny hoditra, izay misy aretina; fa habokana mafy izany, ka dia hodorana amin’ ny afo.

He is to burn the fabric, weave, or knit, whether the contaminated item is wool or linen or leather. Since the mildew is harmful, the article must be burned up.

53 Ary raha mizaha azy ny mpisorona, ka hitany fa ny aretina tsy nanitatra teo amin’ ny fitafiana, na teo amin’ izay ho tenany, na izay ho fahany, na teo amin’ ny zavatra natao tamin’ ny hoditra,

But when the priest reexamines it, if the mildew has not spread in the fabric, weave, knit, or leather article,

54 dia hasain’ mpisorona hosasana izay misy izany, ary hatokana toerana hafitoana indray izy;

the priest is to order the contaminated article to be washed and isolated for another seven days.

55 ary rehefa voasasa izy, dia hozahan’ ny mpisorona indray ny aretina; ka raha hitany fa tsy niova tarehy ny aretina, na dia tsy nanitatra aza, dia maloto izy ka hodoranao amin’ ny afo; aretina mafy izany, na amin’ ny atiny, na amin’ ny ivelany.

After it has been washed, the priest is to reexamine it, and if the mildewed article has not changed in appearance, it is unclean. Even though the mildew has not spread, you must burn it, whether the rot is on the front or back.

56 Fa raha mizaha azy ny mpisorona, ka hitany fa matromatroka ny aretina, rehefa voasasa izy, dia hesorina ho afaka amin’ ny fitafiana ny misy izany, na ho afaka amin’ ny hoditra, na ho afaka amin’ ny tenany, na izay ho fahany.

If the priest examines it and the mildew has faded after it has been washed, he must cut the contaminated section out of the fabric, leather, weave, or knit.

57 Ary raha mbola misy miseho eo amin’ ny fitafiana indray izy, na eo amin’ izay ho tenany, na izay ho fahany, na eo amin’ ny zavatra natao tamin’ ny hoditra, dia aretina mipoipoitra izany, ka hodorana amin’ ny afo izay misy izany.

But if it reappears in the fabric, weave, or knit, or on any leather article, it is spreading. You must burn the contaminated article.

58 Ary ny fitafiana, na izay ho an’ ny tenany, na izay ho fahany, na izay zavatra natao tamin’ ny hoditra, izay hosasanao, raha afaka taminy ny aretina, dia hosasana fanindroany izy ka hadio.

If the mildew disappears from the fabric, weave, or knit, or any leather article after washing, then it is to be washed again, and it will be clean.

59 Izany no lalàna ny amin’ ny habokana eo amin’ ny fitafiana volon’ ondry na rongony, na eo amin’ izay ho tenany, na izay ho fahany, na eo amin’ ny zavatra natao tamin’ ny hoditra, hanaovana azy hoe madio, na hanaovana azy hoe maloto.

This is the law concerning a mildew contamination in wool or linen fabric, weave, or knit, or any leather article, for pronouncing it clean or unclean.”
