Lewwota 13

1 Waaqayyos Musee fi Arooniin akkana jedhe;

And the Lord said to Moses and Aaron,

2 “Namni yoo gogaa dhagna isaa irraa iitoo yookaan finniisa yookaan baarolee qabaatee wanni sun gogaa dhagna isaa irratti gara lamxiitti geeddarame, namichi sun gara Aroon lubichaatti yookaan ilmaan isaa luboota keessaa gara isa tokkootti haa geeffamu.

If a man has on his skin a growth or a mark or a white place, and it becomes the disease of a leper, let him be taken to Aaron the priest, or to one of the priests, his sons;

3 Lubni sun madaa gogaa dhagna namichaa irra jiru haa qoru; yoo rifeensi madaa sana irra jiru addaatee madaan sun gogaa keessa darbee foonitti gad seene, dhukkubni sun dhukkuba lamxii ti. Lubichis erga isa qoree booddee akka inni akka seeraatti xuraaʼaa taʼe haa labsu.

And if, when the priest sees the mark on his skin, the hair on the place is turned white and the mark seems to go deeper than the skin, it is the mark of a leper: and the priest, after looking at him, will say that he is unclean.

4 Yoo baaroleen gogaa namichaa irra jiru addaatee garuu gogaa keessa darbee foonitti gad hin seenin, yoo rifeensi madaa sana irra jirus hin addaatin, lubichi namicha madaaʼe sana bultii torba kophaatti baasee haa tursu.

But if the mark on his skin is white, and does not seem to go deeper than the skin, and the hair on it is not turned white, then the priest will keep him shut up for seven days;

5 Bultii torbaffaatti immoo lubichi isa haa qoru; lubni yoo akka madaan sun hin geeddaraminii fi akka inni gogaa namichaa irra hin faffacaʼin arge ammas bultii torba kophaatti baasee isa haa tursu.

And the priest is to see him on the seventh day; and if, in his opinion, the place on his skin has not become worse and is not increased in size, then the priest will keep him shut up for seven days more:

6 Amma illee lubichi bultii torbaffaatti namicha haa qoru; kunoo, yoo madaan sun qooree gogaa irra hin faffacaʼin, lubichi akka namichi qulqulluu taʼe haa labsu; wanni sun cittoo dha. Namichi wayyaa isaa haa miiccatu; inni ni qulqullaaʼa.

And the priest is to see him again on the seventh day; and if the mark is less bright and is not increased on his skin, then let the priest say that he is clean: it is only a skin-mark, and after his clothing has been washed he will be clean.

7 Garuu inni erga qulqulluu taʼuun isaa akka labsamuuf lubatti of argisiisee booddee yoo cittoon sun gogaa isaa irra faffacaʼe inni amma illee lubatti of argisiisuu qaba.

But if the size of the mark on his skin is increased after he has been seen by the priest, let him go to the priest again:

8 Lubichis isa haa qoru; yoo cittoon sun gogaa irra faffacaʼee jiraate lubichi akka inni xuraaʼaa taʼe haa labsu; wanni kun lamxii dha.

And if, after looking at him, he sees that the mark is increased in his skin, let the priest say that he is unclean; he is a leper.

9 “Namni yoo lamxii qabaate inni lubatti fidamuu qaba.

When the disease of a leper is seen on a man, let him be taken to the priest;

10 Lubichi isa haa qoru; kunoo yoo iiti adiin kan rifeensa addeesse gogaa irra jiraatee fi foon iita sanaa diimatee mulʼate,

And if the priest sees that there is a white growth on the skin, and the hair is turned white, and there is diseased flesh in the growth,

11 wanni sun dhukkuba gogaa kan hin fayyinee dha; lubichis akka namichi xuraaʼaa taʼe haa labsu. Waan inni duraanuu xuraaʼaa taʼeef lubichi kophaatti baasee isa tursuun barbaachisaa miti.

It is an old disease in the skin of his flesh, and the priest will say that he is unclean; he will not have to be shut up, for he is clearly unclean.

12 “Dhukkubni sun hamma lubni arguu dandaʼutti gogaa isaa irra yoo faffacaʼee gogaa namicha madaaʼe sanaa mataadhaa hamma miillaatti haguuge,

And if the disease comes out all over his skin, from his head to his feet, as far as the priest is able to see,

13 lubichi isa haa qoru; kunoo yoo dhukkubni sun guutumaan guutuutti dhagna namichaa wal gaʼe inni akka namichi qulqulluu taʼe haa labsu. Waan dhagni isaa guutuun addaateef namichi sun qulqulluu dha.

And if the priest sees that all his flesh is covered with the leper's disease, the priest will say that he is clean: it is all turned white, he is clean.

14 Inni garuu yeroo iita foon isaa keessaan diimatee mulʼatu qabaatu xuraaʼaa dha.

But whenever diseased flesh is seen on him, he will be unclean.

15 Lubichi yeroo foon diimatee mulʼatu argutti akka namichi sun xuraaʼaa taʼe haa labsu; foon diimate xuraaʼaa dha; namichis lamxii qaba.

And when the priest sees the diseased flesh he will say that he is unclean; the diseased flesh is unclean, he is a leper.

16 Yookaan yoo foon diimaan geeddaramee addaate namichi lubatti of argisiisuu haa dhaqu.

Or if the diseased flesh is turned again and changed to white then he is to come to the priest,

17 Lubnis isa haa qoru; yoo madaan sun addaate lubichi akka namichi madaaʼe sun qulqulluu taʼe haa labsu; namichis ni qulqullaaʼa.

And the priest will see him: and if the place is turned white, then the priest will say that he is free from the disease.

18 “Namni gogaa isaa irraa dhullaa yoo qabaatee dhullaan sun fayyee jiraate,

And if a bad place has come out on the skin and is well again,

19 yoo iddoo dhullaan ture sanatti iiti adiin yookaan baaroleen diimaan adiin mulʼate inni lubatti of haa argisiisu.

And on the same place there is a white growth of a bright mark, red and white, then let the priest see it;

20 Lubnis isa haa qoru; kunoo yoo wanni sun waan gogaa keessa darbee foon seene fakkaatee rifeensi isa keessaas addaate lubichi akka inni xuraaʼaa taʼe haa labsu. Wanni kun dhukkuba lamxii iddoo dhullaan turetti baʼee dha.

And after looking at it, if it seems to go deeper than the skin, and the hair on it is turned white, then the priest will say that the man is unclean: it is the leper's disease, it has come out in the bad place.

21 Garuu yommuu lubni baarolee sana qorutti, kunoo yoo rifeensi adiin irra hin jiraatinii fi yoo baaroleen sun utuu gogaa darbee foon hin seenin qooree jiraate lubni kophaatti baasee bultii torba isa haa tursu.

But if, after looking at it, he sees that there are no white hairs on it, and it is not deeper than the skin, and it is not very bright, then let the priest keep him shut up for seven days:

22 Yoo baaroleen sun gogaa irra faffacaʼe, lubichi akka namni sun xuraaʼaa taʼe haa labsu; kun dhukkuba namatti darbuu dha.

And if it is increasing on the skin, the priest will say that he is unclean: it is a disease.

23 Garuu baaroleen sun yoo hin geeddaraminii fi yoo hin faffacaʼin, inni godaannisa dhullaa sanaa ti; lubnis akka namichi qulqulluu taʼe haa labsu.

But if the bright mark keeps in the same place and gets no greater, it is the mark of the old wound, and the priest will say that he is clean.

24 “Yoo namni gogaa isaa irraa gubaa qabaatee foon diimaa iddoo gubamaa sanaa irratti baaroleen diimaan adiin yookaan adiin mulʼate,

Or if there is a burn on the skin of the flesh, and if the diseased flesh in the burn becomes a bright place, red and white or white,

25 lubni baarolee sana haa qoru; kunoo yoo rifeensi achi irra jiru addaatee baaroleen sunis gogaa keessa darbee foon seene wanni kun lamxii iddoo gubate sana irratti baʼuu dha. Lubichi akka namni sun xuraaʼaa taʼe haa labsu; dhukkubni kun dhukkuba lamxii ti.

The priest is to see it: and if the hair on the bright place is turned white and it seems to go deeper than the skin, he is a leper: it has come out in the burn, and the priest will say that he is unclean: it is the leper's disease.

26 Garuu yoo lubni iddoo gubate sana qoree rifeensi adiin baarolee sana irra hin jiraatinii fi yoo baaroleen sun utuu gogaa keessa darbee foon hin seenin qooree jiraate lubichi namicha sana kophaatti baasee bultii torba haa tursu.

But if, after looking at it, the priest sees that there is no white hair on the bright place, and it is not deeper than the skin, and is not very bright, then let the priest keep him shut up for seven days:

27 Guyyaa torbaffaatti lubichi isa haa qoru; yoo baaroleen sun gogaa irra faffacaʼee jiraate lubni sun akka namichi xuraaʼaa taʼe haa labsu; dhukkubni kun dhukkuba lamxii ti.

And the priest is to see him again on the seventh day; if it is increased in the skin, then the priest will say that he is unclean: it is the leper's disease.

28 Taʼus yoo baaroleen sun hin geeddaraminii fi utuu gogaa irra hin faffacaʼin bade wanni kun iitoo gubaa sana keessa baʼee dha. Lubichi akka namichi qulqulluu taʼe haa labsu; wanni kun godaannisa gubaa sanaa ti.

And if the bright place keeps the same size and gets no greater on the skin, but is less bright, it is the effect of the burn, and the priest will say that he is clean: it is the mark of the burn.

29 “Yoo dhiirri yookaan dubartiin mataa irraa yookaan areeda irraa madaa qabaatan,

And when a man or a woman has a disease on the head, or in the hair of the chin,

30 lubni madaa sana haa qoru; kunoo yoo madaan sun gogaa keessa darbee foon seenee rifeensi achi irra jiru keelloo fakkaatee qaqalʼate, lubichi akka namichi sun xuraaʼaa taʼe haa labsu; kun hooqxoo mataa yookaan areedaa kan namatti darbuu dha.

Then the priest is to see the diseased place: and if it seems to go deeper than the skin, and if there is thin yellow hair in it, then the priest will say that he is unclean: he has the mark of the leper's disease on his head or in the hair of his chin.

31 Garuu yeroo lubni madaa akkanaa qorutti kunoo yoo madaan sun waan gogaa darbee foon seene hin fakkaatinii fi yoo rifeensi gurraachi tokko iyyuu madaa sana irra hin jiraatin lubni sun namicha hooqxoon qabe sana kophaatti baasee bultii torba haa tursu.

And after looking at the diseased place, if it does not seem to go deeper than the skin, and there is no black hair in it, then the priest will have him shut up for seven days:

32 Guyyaa torbaffaatti lubni madaa sana haa qoru; kunoo yoo hooqxoon sun hin faffacaʼin, yoo rifeensi keelloon achi irra hin jiraatinii fi hooqxoon sun waan gogaa keessa darbee foon seene hin fakkaatin,

And on the seventh day the priest will see the place: and if it is not increased, and there is no yellow hair in it, and it does not seem to go deeper than the skin,

33 namichi sun iddoo madaaʼe sana qofa dhiisee mataa isaa haa haadatu; lubni sunis ammas namicha sana kophaatti baasee bultii torba haa tursu.

Then his hair is to be cut off, but not on the diseased place, and he is to be shut up for seven days more:

34 Guyyaa torbaffaattis lubni sun hooqxoo sana haa qoru; kunoo yoo hooqxoon sun gogaa irra hin faffacaʼinii fi waan gogaa keessa darbee foon seene hin fakkaatin lubichi akka namichi sun qulqulluu taʼe haa labsu; namichi wayyaa isaa haa miiccatu; innis ni qulqullaaʼa.

And on the seventh day the priest will see the place: and if it is not increased, and does not seem to go deeper than the skin, the priest will say that he is clean: and after his clothing has been washed he will be clean.

35 Garuu erga akka namichi qulqulluu taʼe labsamee booddee yoo hooqxoon sun gogaa irra faffacaʼe,

But if the disease in his skin becomes worse after he has been made clean,

36 lubni isa haa qoru; kunoo yoo hooqxoon sun gogaa irra faffacaʼee jiraate lubichi rifeensa keelloo sakattaʼuu hin qabu; namichi sun xuraaʼaa dha.

Then the priest is to see him: and if the mark is increased, the priest, without looking for the yellow hair, will say that he is unclean.

37 Garuu akka hubannaa lubichaatti hooqxoon sun geeddaramuu baatee rifeensi gurraachi irratti biqillaan hooqxoon sun fayyeera; namichis qulqulluu dha; lubnis akka inni qulqulluu taʼe haa labsu.

But if, in his opinion, the growth is stopped, and black hair has come up on it, the disease has gone; he is clean and the priest will say that he is clean.

38 “Yommuu dhiirri yookaan dubartiin gogaa dhagna isaa irraa baarolee qabaatanitti,

And if a man or a woman has bright marks on the skin of their flesh, that is, bright white marks,

39 lubni isaan haa qoru; kunoo yoo baaroleen sun adii daalacha taʼe kun cittoo gogaa irratti baʼe kan nama hin miinee dha; namichis qulqulluu dha.

Then the priest is to see them: and if the white marks on their skin are not very bright, it is a skin disease which has come out on the skin; he is clean.

40 “Namni yoo rifeensi mataa isaa dhumee molaaʼe inni qulqulluu dha.

And if a man's hair has come out and he has no hair, still he is clean.

41 Yoo rifeensi mataa isaa fuula duraan irraa dhumee molaaʼes inni qulqulluu dha.

And if the hair has gone from the front part of his head, so that he has no hair there, still he is clean.

42 Garuu inni yoo moluu mataa isaa irraa yookaan moluu adda isaa irraa madaa adii diimatu qabaate wanni kun lamxii moluu mataa isaa yookaan moluu adda isaa keessaa baʼuu dha.

But if, on his head or on his brow, where he has no hair, there is a red and white place, it is the disease of the leper coming out on his head or on his brow.

43 Lubni isa haa qoru; kunoo yoo madaan iitaʼe kan mataa isaa irraa yookaan adda isaa irraa sun akkuma lamxii gogaa irratti baʼee adii diimatu taʼe,

Then if the priest sees that the growth of the disease has become red and white on his head or on his brow where there is no hair, like the mark in the skin of a leper;

44 namichi dhukkubsataa fi xuraaʼaa dha. Sababii madaa mataa namichaa irra jiru sanaatiifis akka namichi xuraaʼaa taʼe lubni sun haa labsu.

He is a leper and unclean; the priest is to say that he is most certainly unclean: the disease is in his head.

45 “Namni lamxii akkasii qabu uffata tatarsaʼaa haa uffatu; rifeensa mataa isaatti waa hin maratin; afaan isaas haguuggatee, ‘Ani xuraaʼaa dha! Ani xuraaʼaa dha!’ jedhee haa iyyu.

And the leper who has the disease on him is to go about with signs of grief, with his hair loose and his mouth covered, crying, Unclean, unclean.

46 Inni hamma dhukkubni sun irra jirutti xuraaʼaa dha; kophaa isaa haa jiraatu; qubata keessaas baʼee ala haa jiraatu.

While the disease is on him, he will be unclean. He is unclean: let him keep by himself, living outside the tent-circle.

47 “Yoo uffanni suufii irraa yookaan quncee talbaa irraa hojjetame kam iyyuu,

And any clothing of wool or of linen in which is the mark of the disease;

48 uffanni quncee talbaa irraa yookaan suufii irraa dhaʼame yookaan wal keessa loofamee hojjetame kam iyyuu, gogaan yookaan wanni gogaa irraa hojjetame kam iyyuu lamxii qabaate,

If it is in the threads of the linen or of the wool, or in leather, or in anything made of skin;

49 yoo dhukkubni uffata irra yookaan gogaa irra yookaan uffata dhaʼame irra yookaan wal keessa loofamee hojjetame irra yookaan miʼa gogaa irra jiru sun magariisa taʼe yookaan diimate wanni kun waan lamxii taʼeef lubatti haa argisiifamu.

If there are red or green marks on the clothing, or on the leather, or in the threads of the cloth, or in anything made of skin, it is the leper's disease: let the priest see it.

50 Lubnis lamxii sana qoree miʼa dhukkubaan faalame sana kophaatti baasee bultii torba haa tursu.

And after it has been seen by the priest, the thing which is so marked is to be shut up for seven days:

51 Guyyaa torbaffaatti lubichi lamxii sana haa qoru; yoo lamxiin sun uffata irra yookaan wayyaa dhaʼame irra yookaan uffata wal keessa loofamee hojjetame irra yookaan gogaa waan kamiif iyyuu fayyadu irra faffacaʼe wanni kun lamxii hamaa dha; miʼi sunis xuraaʼaa dha.

And he is to see the mark on the seventh day; if the mark is increased in the clothing, or in the threads of the material, or in the leather, whatever the leather is used for, it is the disease biting into it: it is unclean.

52 Sababii lamxiin sun hamaa taʼeef lubichi uffata yookaan wayyaa suufii irraa yookaan quncee talbaa irraa hojjetame yookaan wal keessa loofamee hojjetame yookaan miʼa gogaa irraa hojjetame kan dhukkuba sanaan faalame kam iyyuu haa gubu; miʼi sunis gubamuu qaba.

And the clothing, or the wool or linen material, or anything of leather in which is the disease, is to be burned: for the disease is biting into it; let it be burned in the fire.

53 “Garuu yeroo lubni lamxii sana qorutti kunoo yoo lamxiin sun uffata irra yookaan wayyaa dhaʼame irra yookaan wal keessa loofamee hojjetame irra yookaan miʼa gogaa irraa hojjetame irra faffacaʼuu baate,

And if the priest sees that the mark is not increased in the clothing or in any part of the material or in the leather,

54 lubichi akka miʼi lamxiidhaan faalame sun miiccamu haa ajaju. Ergasii immoo miʼa sana kophaatti baasee ammas bultii torba haa tursu.

Then the priest will give orders for the thing on which the mark is, to be washed, and to be shut up for seven days more:

55 Erga miʼi lamxiidhaan faalame sun miiccamee booddee lubichi miʼa sana haa qoru; lamxiin sun yoo faffacaʼu baate illee bifti isaa geeddaramuu baannaan uffanni sun xuraaʼaa dha. Yoo lamxiin sun gama tokkoon yookaan gama kaaniin miʼa sana faalee jiraate, miʼi sun ibiddaan haa gubamu.

And if, after the mark has been washed, the priest sees that the colour of it is not changed and it is not increased, it is to be burned in the fire: the disease is working in it, though the damage may be inside or outside.

56 Erga miʼi sun miiccamee booddee yeroo lubni qorutti yoo lamxiin sun badee jiraate lubichi iddoo lamxiidhaan faalame sana uffata yookaan gogaa yookaan wayyaa dhaʼame yookaan wal keessa loofamee hojjetame irraa haa tarsaasu.

And if the priest sees that the mark is less bright after the washing, then let him have it cut out of the clothing or the leather or from the threads of the material:

57 Garuu yoo lamxiin sun deebiʼee uffata irratti yookaan wayyaa dhaʼame irratti yookaan wal keessa loofame hojjetame irratti yookaan miʼa gogaa irraa hojjetame kam iyyuu irratti argame, lamxiin sun faffacaʼaa jira; wanni lamxii qabu ibiddaan haa gubamu.

And if the mark is still seen in the clothing or in the threads of the material or in the leather, it is the disease coming out: the thing in which the disease is will have to be burned with fire.

58 Uffanni yookaan wayyaan dhaʼame yookaan wal keessa loofamee hojjetame yookaan miʼi gogaa irraa hojjetame kan miiccamee lamxiin irraa bade kam iyyuu ammas haa miiccamu; innis ni qulqullaaʼa.”

And the material of the clothing, or anything of skin, which has been washed, if the mark has gone out of it, let it be washed a second time and it will be clean.

59 Wanni kun seera akka uffanni suufii irraa yookaan quncee talbaa irraa hojjetame, wayyaan dhaʼame yookaan wal keessa loofamee hojjetame yookaan miʼi gogaa irraa hojjetamee lamxiidhaan faalame kam iyyuu xuraaʼaa taʼee fi akka hin taʼin labsuuf kennamee dha.

This is the law about the leper's disease in the thread of wool or linen material, in clothing or in anything of skin, saying how it is to be judged clean or unclean.
