ULevi 13
1 INkosi yasikhuluma kuMozisi lakuAroni isithi:
And the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying:
2 Umuntu, nxa kukhona esikhumbeni senyama yakhe ithumba loba uqweqwe loba ibala elikhanyayo, njalo esikhumbeni senyama yakhe kube njengesifo sobulephero, khona ezalethwa kuAroni umpristi kumbe kwenye yamadodana akhe angabapristi.
The man in whose skin or flesh there will have arisen a diverse color, or a pustule, or something that seems to shine, which is the mark of leprosy, shall be brought to Aaron the priest, or to anyone you wish among his sons.
3 Umpristi uzakhangela-ke isifo esikhumbeni senyama; uba uboya esifweni sebuphenduke baba mhlophe, lokubonakala kwesifo sekutshone kulesikhumba senyama yakhe, kuyisifo sobulephero. Umpristi esemkhangele uzakutsho ukuthi ungcolile.
And if he sees that leprosy is in his skin, and that the hair has turned a white color, and that the place where the leprosy appears is lower than the rest of the skin and the flesh, then it is the mark of leprosy, and at his judgment he shall be separated.
4 Kodwa uba ibala elikhanyayo esikhumbeni senyama yakhe limhlophe, lokubonakala kwalo kungatshoni kulesikhumba, loboya balo bungaphendukanga baba mhlophe, umpristi uzamvalela olesifo insuku eziyisikhombisa.
But if there will be a shining whiteness in the skin, but it is not lower than the rest of the flesh, and the hair is of unaffected color, the priest shall seclude him for seven days.
5 Umpristi uzamkhangela-ke ngosuku lwesikhombisa; uba, khangela, isifo sisemi emehlweni akhe, isifo singaqhelanga esikhumbeni, umpristi uzamvalela ezinye insuku eziyisikhombisa.
And on the seventh day he shall examine him, and if the leprosy certainly has not increased further, and has not spread itself in the skin, he shall seclude him again, for another seven days.
6 Umpristi uzabuya-ke amkhangele ngosuku lwesikhombisa; uba, khangela, isifo sifiphele, lesifo singaqhelanga esikhumbeni, umpristi uzakutsho ukuthi uhlambulukile; luqweqwe. Njalo uzahlamba izembatho zakhe, ahlambuluke.
And on the seventh day, he shall evaluate him. If the leprosy has become obscured, and has not increased in the skin, he shall declare him clean, because it is a scab. And the man shall wash his clothes, and he shall be clean.
7 Kodwa uba uqweqwe luqhela kakhulu esikhumbeni emva kokubonakaliswa kwakhe kumpristi ngokuhlanjululwa kwakhe, uzabonakaliswa kumpristi futhi.
But if the leprosy increases again, after he was seen by the priest and restored to cleanness, he shall be brought to him,
8 Uba umpristi ebona ukuthi, khangela, uqweqwe luyaqhela esikhumbeni, umpristi uzakutsho ukuthi ungcolile; kuyibulephero.
and he shall be condemned of uncleanness.
9 Isifo sobulephero, uba sisemuntwini, uzalethwa kumpristi.
If the mark of leprosy has been in a man, he shall be brought to the priest,
10 Njalo umpristi uzabona, khangela-ke, kukhona ithumba elimhlophe esikhumbeni, seliphendule uboya baba mhlophe, futhi kulenyama entsha ephilayo ethunjeni,
and he shall look upon him. And when there is a white color in the skin, and it has an altered appearance in its hair, and also the same flesh seems alive,
11 kuyibulephero obudala esikhumbeni senyama yakhe; umpristi uzakutsho-ke ukuthi ungcolile, angamvaleli ngoba engcolile.
it shall be judged a chronic leprosy, which has grown into the skin. And so the priest shall declare him contaminated, and he shall not seclude him, because he is clearly unclean.
12 Uba-ke ubulephero buqhela kakhulu esikhumbeni, lobulephero bugubuzela isikhumba sonke salowo olesifo, kusukela ekhanda lakhe kuze kufike lenyaweni zakhe, njengokubona konke kwamehlo ompristi,
But if the leprosy will have flourished, coursing through the skin, and will have covered all the skin from the head even to the feet, whatever falls under the sight of the eyes,
13 umpristi uzabona, khangela-ke, ubulephero bugubuzele inyama yonke yakhe, uzakutsho ukuthi olesifo uhlambulukile; konke kuphendukile kwaba mhlophe; uhlambulukile.
the priest shall examine him, and he shall judge that the leprosy that he possesses is very clean, because it has all turned to whiteness, and for this reason the man shall be clean.
14 Kodwa mhla kubonakala kuye inyama ebomvu, uzakuba ngongcolileyo.
Yet truly, when the living flesh shall appear in him,
15 Lapho umpristi esebone inyama ebomvu, uzakutsho ukuthi ungcolile; inyama ebomvu ingcolile, iyibulephero.
then by the judgment of the priest he shall be polluted, and he shall be considered to be among the unclean. For the live flesh, if it is spotted with leprosy, is unclean.
16 Kumbe uba inyama ebomvu ibuye iphenduke ibe mhlophe, uzakuya kumpristi.
And if again it will have turned into whiteness, and will have covered the entire man,
17 Lapho umpristi esembonile ukuthi, khangela, isifo sesiphenduke saba mhlophe, umpristi uzakutsho ukuthi uhlambulukile olesifo; uhlambulukile.
the priest shall examine him, and he shall discern him to be clean.
18 Inyama layo, nxa kukhona kuyo, esikhumbeni sayo, ithumba, selipholile,
But when there has been an ulcer in the flesh and the skin, and it has healed,
19 lendaweni yethumba kube lokuvuvuka okumhlophe kumbe ibala elikhanyayo elimhlophe libomvana, kuzatshengiswa umpristi.
and in the place of the ulcer, there appears a white or reddish scar, the man shall be brought to the priest.
20 Uba umpristi ezabona ukuthi, khangela, ukubonakala kwakho kutshone kulesikhumba, loboya bakho sebuphenduke baba mhlophe, umpristi uzakutsho ukuthi ungcolile; kuyisifo sobulephero, siphume ethunjeni.
And when he will have seen the place of the leprosy lower than the rest of the flesh, and that the hair has turned white, he shall declare him contaminated. For the plague of leprosy has arisen from the ulcer.
21 Kodwa uba umpristi ezakubona ukuthi, khangela, kakulaboya obumhlophe kukho, lokuthi kakutshonanga kulesikhumba, kodwa kufiphele, umpristi uzamvalela insuku eziyisikhombisa.
But if the hair is of the usual color, and the scar is somewhat obscure and is not lower than the nearby flesh, he shall seclude him for seven days.
22 Uba-ke kuqhela kakhulu esikhumbeni, umpristi atsho ukuthi ungcolile, kuyisifo.
And if it will have certainly increased, he shall judge him to have leprosy.
23 Kodwa uba ibala elikhanyayo limi endaweni yalo, lingaqheli, kuyisibavu sethumba; umpristi uzakutsho-ke ukuthi uhlambulukile.
But if it stays in its place, it is the scar of an ulcer, and the man shall be clean.
24 Kumbe inyama, uba kukhona esikhumbeni sayo umtshiso womlilo, lokuphola komtshiso kulibala elikhanyayo elimhlophe libomvana kumbe limhlophe.
But if flesh and skin has been burned by fire, and, having been healed, now has a white or red scar,
25 Lapho umpristi eselibonile ukuthi, khangela, uboya bebala elikhanyayo buphenduke baba mhlophe, lokubonakala kwalo litshone kulesikhumba, kuyibulephero, buqhamuke emtshisweni; ngakho umpristi uzakutsho ukuthi ungcolile; kuyisifo sobulephero.
the priest shall examine it, and if he sees that it has turned white, and that its place is lower than the rest of the skin, he shall declare him contaminated, for the mark of leprosy has arisen in the scar.
26 Kodwa uba umpristi eselibona ukuthi, khangela, kakulaboya obumhlophe ebaleni elikhanyayo, lokuthi kalitshonanga kulesikhumba, kodwa lifiphele, umpristi uzamvalela insuku eziyisikhombisa.
But if the color of the hair has not been changed, nor is the mark lower than the rest of the flesh, and the leprosy itself appears to be somewhat obscure, he shall seclude him for seven days,
27 Langosuku lwesikhombisa umpristi uzambona; uba liqhele kakhulu esikhumbeni, umpristi uzakutsho ukuthi ungcolile; kuyisifo sobulephero.
and on the seventh day he shall evaluate him. If the leprosy will have increased further in the skin, he shall declare him contaminated.
28 Kodwa uba ibala elikhanyayo limi endaweni yalo, lingaqhelanga esikhumbeni, kodwa lifiphele, kuyikuvuvuka komtshiso; umpristi atsho-ke ukuthi uhlambulukile, ngoba kuyisibavu somtshiso.
But if the whiteness stays in its place and is not very clear, it is the mark of a burn, and for this reason he shall be declared clean, because it is only the scar from a burn.
29 Njalo nxa owesilisa loba owesifazana elesifo ekhanda loba endevini,
If leprosy will have sprung up in the head or the beard of a man or woman, the priest shall look upon them,
30 lapho umpristi esebonile isifo ukuthi, khangela, ukubonakala kwaso kutshonile kulesikhumba, njalo kulezinwele ezilithanga ezinciphileyo, umpristi uzakutsho ukuthi ungcolile; kuluqweqwe; kuyibulephero bekhanda loba obendevu.
and if the place is certainly lower than the rest of the flesh, and the hair is golden, and thinner than usual, he shall declare them contaminated, because it is the leprosy of the head and the beard.
31 Uba-ke umpristi esebone isifo soqweqwe ukuthi, khangela, ukubonakala kwaso kasitshonanga kulesikhumba, lokuthi kakulanwele ezimnyama kuso, umpristi uzamvalela olesifo soqweqwe insuku eziyisikhombisa.
But if he sees that the place of the spot is equal with the nearby flesh, and that the hair is black, he shall seclude him for seven days,
32 Langosuku lwesikhombisa umpristi uzabona isifo; uba, khangela, uqweqwe lungaqhelanga, futhi kungekho kuso inwele ezilithanga, lokubonakala koqweqwe kungatshonanga kulesikhumba,
and on the seventh day he shall examine it. If the spot has not increased, and the hair has kept its color, and the place of the mark is equal with the rest of the flesh,
33 uzaziphuca, kodwa uqweqwe angaluphuci, lompristi uzamvalela oloqweqwe ezinye insuku eziyisikhombisa.
the man shall be shaven, except in the place of the spot, and he shall be secluded for another seven days.
34 Langosuku lwesikhombisa umpristi uzabona uqweqwe; uba, khangela, uqweqwe lungaqhelanga esikhumbeni, futhi ukubonakala kwalo kungatshonanga kulesikhumba, umpristi uzakutsho ukuthi uhlambulukile, njalo uzahlamba izembatho zakhe, ahlambuluke.
On the seventh day, if the mark seems to have stayed in its place, and it is not lower than the rest of the flesh, he shall declare him clean, and, his clothes having been washed, he shall be clean.
35 Kodwa uba uqweqwe luqhela kakhulu esikhumbeni emva kokuhlanjululwa kwakhe,
But if, after his cleansing, the spot will have increased again in the skin,
36 umpristi uzabe esembonile ukuthi, khangela, uqweqwe seluqhelile esikhumbeni, umpristi kangadingi inwele ezilithanga; ungcolile.
he shall no longer inquire as to whether the hair has turned yellow, because he is plainly unclean.
37 Kodwa uba emehlweni akhe uqweqwe lusemi, lenwele ezimnyama sezimilile kulo, uqweqwe selupholile, uhlambulukile; lompristi uzakutsho ukuthi uhlambulukile.
Furthermore, if the spot has not increased, and the hair is black, let him know that the man is healed: and let him confidently pronounce him clean.
38 Njalo owesilisa loba owesifazana, nxa kukhona esikhumbeni senyama yabo amabala akhanyayo, amabala akhanyayo amhlophe,
If a whiteness will have appeared in the skin of a man or a woman,
39 nxa umpristi ebona ukuthi, khangela, esikhumbeni senyama yabo kulamabala akhanyayo afipheleyo amhlophe, kuyimpunza equbukayo esikhumbeni; uhlambulukile.
the priest shall examine them. If he detects an obscured whiteness shining in the skin, may he know that it is not leprosy, but a white-colored blemish, and that the man is clean.
40 Lendoda, uba ikhanda layo lingaselanwele, ulempabanga, uhlambulukile.
The man whose hair falls off of his head is bald and clean.
41 Uba-ke ikhanda layo lingaselanwele eceleni lebunzi layo, ulempabanga ebunzini, uhlambulukile.
And if the hair falls off of his forehead, he is bald in front and clean.
42 Kodwa uba kukhona isifo esimhlophe sibomvana empabangeni kumbe empabangeni esebunzini, kuyibulephero obuqubuka ebumpabangeni bayo kumbe empabangeni esebunzini layo.
But if in the bald head or bald forehead there has arisen a white or reddish color,
43 Lapho umpristi esembonile ukuthi, khangela, ukuvuvuka kwesifo kumhlophe kubomvana empabangeni yayo kumbe empabangeni esebunzini layo, njengokubonakala kobulephero esikhumbeni senyama,
and the priest will have seen this, he shall condemn him without doubt of leprosy, which has arisen in the baldness.
44 uyindoda elobulephero, ungcolile; umpristi uzakutsho ukuthi ungcolile kakhulu; isifo sayo sisekhanda layo.
Therefore, whoever will have been spotted by leprosy, and who has been separated at the judgment of the priest,
45 Umlephero, esikuye isifo, izembatho zakhe zizadatshulwa-ke, lekhanda lakhe lembulwe, njalo ambomboze indevu zendebe yakhe yangaphezulu, akhale athi: Ngcolile, ngcolile!
shall have his clothes unstitched, his head bare, his mouth covered with a cloth, and he himself shall cry out that he is contaminated and filthy.
46 Zonke insuku isifo sikuye ungcolile; ungcolile, uzahlala yedwa, indawo yakhe yokuhlala izakuba ngaphandle kwenkamba.
The entire time that he is a leper and unclean he shall live alone outside the camp.
47 Njalo isembatho, nxa isifo sobulephero sikuso, esembathweni soboya bezimvu, loba esembathweni selembu elicolekileyo,
A woolen or linen garment that will have held the leprosy,
48 loba ezintanjeni eziqondileyo kumbe ezintanjeni eziqumayo zelembu elicolekileyo kumbe ezoboya bezimvu, loba esikhumbeni, kumbe kukuphi okwenziwe ngesikhumba,
in the main fibers or in any of the threads, or certainly in a skin, or whatever has been made from a skin,
49 futhi isifo siluhlazana loba sibomvana esembathweni loba esikhumbeni loba ezintanjeni eziqondileyo loba ezintanjeni eziqumayo kumbe kuyiphi into yesikhumba; kuyisifo sobulephero, njalo kuzatshengiswa umpristi.
if it has been infected with a white or red spot, it shall be considered to be leprosy, and it shall be shown to the priest.
50 Umpristi uzakhangela-ke isifo, avalele okulesifo insuku eziyisikhombisa.
And he, having examined it, shall close it up for seven days.
51 Akhangele isifo ngosuku lwesikhombisa; uba isifo siqhelile esembathweni loba ezintanjeni eziqondileyo loba ezintanjeni eziqumayo loba esikhumbeni, loba kuwuphi umsebenzi owenziwe ngesikhumba; isifo siyibulephero obuvukuzayo; kungcolile.
And on the seventh day, having looked at it again, if he detects an increase, it is a persistent leprosy; he shall judge the garment to be polluted, along with everything with which it has been found.
52 Ngakho uzatshisa isembatho loba izintambo eziqondileyo loba izintambo eziqumayo zoboya bezimvu loba ezelembu elicolekileyo kumbe loba yiyiphi into yesikhumba okukuyo isifo; ngoba kuyibulephero obuvukuzayo; kuzatshiswa ngomlilo.
And because of this, it shall be burned in flames.
53 Kodwa uba umpristi ebona ukuthi, khangela, isifo kasiqhelanga esembathweni kumbe ezintanjeni eziqondileyo kumbe ezintanjeni eziqumayo, kumbe loba kuyiphi into yesikhumba,
But if he will have seen that it has not increased,
54 umpristi uzalaya-ke ukuthi bawatshe lokho esikukho isifo, akuvalele ezinye insuku eziyisikhombisa.
he shall instruct them, and they shall wash whatever has the leprosy in it, and he shall close it up for another seven days.
55 Kuzakuthi umpristi, sekuwatshiwe, abone isifo ukuthi, khangela, isifo kasiphendukanga ukubonakala kwaso, lesifo kasiqhelanga; kungcolile. Uzakutshisa ngomlilo; kuyikucutheka kohlangothi lwakho lwangemuva loba uhlangothi lwakho lwaphambili.
And when he will have seen that the former appearance has not returned, even if the leprosy has not increased, he shall judge it to be unclean, and he shall burn it with fire, for the leprosy has been infused in the exterior of the garment, or throughout the whole.
56 Kodwa uba umpristi ebona ukuthi, khangela, isifo sifiphele emva kokuwatshwa kwaso, uzasidabula esembathweni, loba esikhumbeni, loba ezintanjeni eziqondileyo, kumbe ezintanjeni eziqumayo.
But if the place of the leprosy has become somewhat darker, after the garment has been washed, he shall tear it away, and separate it from the part that is sound.
57 Kodwa uba silokhu sibonakala esembathweni loba ezintanjeni eziqondileyo kumbe ezintanjeni eziqumayo kumbe loba kuyiphi into yesikhumba, siyaqhela; uzakutshisa ngomlilo lokho esikukho isifo.
But if, after this, there will appear in those places which before were immaculate, a flying and wandering leprosy, it must be burned with fire.
58 Kodwa isembatho kumbe izintambo eziqondileyo loba izintambo eziqumayo kumbe loba yiyiphi into yesikhumba okuwatshileyo, uba isifo sisukile kukho, kuzawatshwa okwesibili, kuzahlambuluka-ke.
If it will have ceased, he shall wash with water the parts which are pure for a second time, and they shall be clean.
59 Lo ngumlayo wesifo sobulephero wesembatho soboya bezimvu kumbe selembu elicolekileyo, loba izintambo eziqondileyo loba izintambo eziqumayo, kumbe loba yiyiphi into yesikhumba, ukutsho ukuthi kuhlambulukile kumbe ukutsho ukuthi kungcolile.
This is the law about leprosy for any woolen or linen garment, in the weave and in the threads, and for all items made from skins, how it must be declared either clean or contaminated.
