Lewwota 13
1 Waaqayyos Musee fi Arooniin akkana jedhe;
Yahweh said this to Aaron and Moses/me:
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.
“When someone has on his skin a swelling or a rash or a shiny/bright spot that may become (contagious/a dreaded skin disease), he must be brought to Aaron or to one of his sons who are also priests.
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.
The priest must examine that part of the person’s skin. If the hair in that area has become white and it appears that the sore is deeper than just on the skin, it is a contagious skin disease. When the priest sees that, he must declare that the person must stay away from other people [MTY].
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.
If the spot on the person’s skin is white but it does not appear that the sore is deeper than just on the skin, the priest must tell him to stay away from other people 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.
Then the priest must examine the person again. If the priest sees that the sore has not changed and has not spread, he must tell the person to stay away from people for seven more days.
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.
Then the priest must examine him again. If the sore has faded and has not spread, the priest will allow him to be with other people again; it is only a rash. After the person washes his clothes, he will be allowed to be with other people again.
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 sore spreads after the priest has examined him, he must 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.
The priest will examine him; and if the sore has spread to more of the skin, it is a contagious skin disease, and the priest will declare that he must stay away from other people.
9 “Namni yoo lamxii qabaate inni lubatti fidamuu qaba.
When anyone has a contagious skin disease, he must be brought to the priest.
10 Lubichi isa haa qoru; kunoo yoo iiti adiin kan rifeensa addeesse gogaa irra jiraatee fi foon iita sanaa diimatee mulʼate,
The priest must examine him. And if there is a white swelling in the skin that has caused the hair in that swelling to become white, and if the flesh in that area is painful/sensitive,
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 a permanent skin disease, and the priest will declare that he must stay away from other people. The priest does not need to tell that person that he must avoid other people, because other people already are wanting to stay away from him.
12 “Dhukkubni sun hamma lubni arguu dandaʼutti gogaa isaa irra yoo faffacaʼee gogaa namicha madaaʼe sanaa mataadhaa hamma miillaatti haguuge,
‘If the disease spreads all over someone’s body, and the priest examines that person and sees that it is covering his skin from his head to his feet,
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 it has caused all his skin to become white [which will indicate that the disease has ended], the priest will declare that the person does not have to stay away from other people.
14 Inni garuu yeroo iita foon isaa keessaan diimatee mulʼatu qabaatu xuraaʼaa dha.
But if the person has open sores and they are very painful/sensitive, he has a contagious skin disease,
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 that, he will declare that the person must stay away from other people.
16 Yookaan yoo foon diimaan geeddaramee addaate namichi lubatti of argisiisuu haa dhaqu.
But if the person’s flesh changes and becomes white, he must go to the priest again.
17 Lubnis isa haa qoru; yoo madaan sun addaate lubichi akka namichi madaaʼe sun qulqulluu taʼe haa labsu; namichis ni qulqullaaʼa.
The priest must examine him again; and if the sores have become white, the priest will declare that the person who had been infected is now permitted to be with other people again.
18 “Namni gogaa isaa irraa dhullaa yoo qabaatee dhullaan sun fayyee jiraate,
‘Then someone has a boil on his skin and it has healed,
19 yoo iddoo dhullaan ture sanatti iiti adiin yookaan baaroleen diimaan adiin mulʼate inni lubatti of haa argisiisu.
but in the place where the boil was a white swelling or a bright/shiny spot appears, he must go to the priest.
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.
The priest must examine it. And if it seems to be deeper than just on the skin, and if the hair in that spot has become white, it is a contagious skin disease that has appeared where the boil had been. And the priest will declare that the person must stay away from other people.
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 when the priest examines it, if there is no white hair in that spot and it is only on the surface of the skin and has become less bright/shiny, then the priest will order him to stay away from other people for seven days.
22 Yoo baaroleen sun gogaa irra faffacaʼe, lubichi akka namni sun xuraaʼaa taʼe haa labsu; kun dhukkuba namatti darbuu dha.
But if it is spreading, it is contagious and the priest will declare that the person must stay away from other people.
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 that spot is unchanged and has not spread, it is only a scar from the boil, and the priest will declare that the person is permitted to be with other people again.
24 “Yoo namni gogaa isaa irraa gubaa qabaatee foon diimaa iddoo gubamaa sanaa irratti baaroleen diimaan adiin yookaan adiin mulʼate,
‘Then someone has a burn on his skin and a bright/shiny or white spot appears, and the flesh in that area is sensitive/painful,
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 must examine the spot. If the hair in that spot has turned white and it seems to be deeper than just on the surface of the skin, it is a contagious skin disease that has appeared where the burn was, and that person must stay away from other people.
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 when the priest examines it and sees that there is no white hair in that spot and it is only on the surface of the skin, and has faded, the priest will declare that the person must stay away from people 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.
On the seventh day, the priest will examine him again. If the sore is spreading, it is a contagious skin disease, and the priest will declare that the person must stay away from other people.
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.
However, if the spot is not changed and has not spread but has faded, it is only a scar from the burn, and the priest will declare that the person is permitted to be with other people again.
29 “Yoo dhiirri yookaan dubartiin mataa irraa yookaan areeda irraa madaa qabaatan,
‘If a man or a woman has a sore on his head or on his 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.
the priest must examine it. If it appears to be deeper than [just on the surface of] the skin, and the hair in that spot has thinned out and has become yellowish, it is a contagious skin disease that causes itching. And the priest will declare that the person must stay away from other people.
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.
But when the priest examines that kind of sore, if it seems to be only on the surface of the skin and there is no healthy hair in it, the priest will tell the person to stay away from other people 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,
On the seventh day, the priest will examine the sore again. If it has not spread and if there is no yellow hair in that spot and if it appears to be only on the surface of 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.
the person must shave the hair near the sore but not the hair on the sore. And the priest will tell him to stay away from other people for seven more days.
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.
On the seventh day, the priest will examine that spot again. If it has not spread and it appears to be only on the surface of the skin, the priest will declare that the person is permitted to be with people again. The person must wash his clothes, and then he can be with other people.
35 Garuu erga akka namichi qulqulluu taʼe labsamee booddee yoo hooqxoon sun gogaa irra faffacaʼe,
But if the sore later spreads,
36 lubni isa haa qoru; kunoo yoo hooqxoon sun gogaa irra faffacaʼee jiraate lubichi rifeensa keelloo sakattaʼuu hin qabu; namichi sun xuraaʼaa dha.
the priest must examine him again. If the itch/sore has spread, the priest does not need to look for yellow hair, because it is clear that the person has a contagious skin disease.
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.
However, if the priest thinks that the spot has not changed, and healthy hair is growing in that area, it is clear that the itch has healed, and the priest will declare that the person is permitted to be with other people again.
38 “Yommuu dhiirri yookaan dubartiin gogaa dhagna isaa irraa baarolee qabaatanitti,
‘Then a man or a woman has white spots on the skin,
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.
the priest should examine them. But if the spots are dull white, it is only a rash, and [the priest will declare that] the person is permitted to be with other people.
40 “Namni yoo rifeensi mataa isaa dhumee molaaʼe inni qulqulluu dha.
‘If a man loses the hair on any part of his head, he does not need to stay away from other people.
41 Yoo rifeensi mataa isaa fuula duraan irraa dhumee molaaʼes inni qulqulluu dha.
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 he gets a bright/shiny sore on his bald head or on his forehead, he has a contagious skin disease.
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,
The priest must examine him. If the swollen sore is a bright spot like [the spot on someone who has] a contagious skin disease,
44 namichi dhukkubsataa fi xuraaʼaa dha. Sababii madaa mataa namichaa irra jiru sanaatiifis akka namichi xuraaʼaa taʼe lubni sun haa labsu.
the priest will declare that the man has a contagious skin disease and must not be with other people.
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.
‘Anyone who has a contagious skin disease must wear torn clothes and not comb his hair. [When he is near other people], he must cover the lower part to his face and call out, “Do not come near me! I have a contagious skin disease!”
46 Inni hamma dhukkubni sun irra jirutti xuraaʼaa dha; kophaa isaa haa jiraatu; qubata keessaas baʼee ala haa jiraatu.
He is not allowed to be with other people as long as he has the disease. He must live alone, outside the camp.’”
47 “Yoo uffanni suufii irraa yookaan quncee talbaa irraa hojjetame kam iyyuu,
“Sometimes a person’s clothing gets mildew on it. It may be clothing that is woven from wool or made from linen or from leather.
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,
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 the contaminated/mildewed part is greenish or reddish, it is a spreading mildew, and it must be shown to the priest.
50 Lubnis lamxii sana qoree miʼa dhukkubaan faalame sana kophaatti baasee bultii torba haa tursu.
The priest will examine it, and then put it in a separate place by itself 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.
On the seventh day he must examine it again. If the mildew has spread, it is clear that it is a type of mildew that destroys clothing, and that clothing must not be worn again.
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.
The owner must burn completely the item that has the mildew in it, whatever kind of item it is.
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,
But when the priest examines it, if the mildew has not spread,
54 lubichi akka miʼi lamxiidhaan faalame sun miiccamu haa ajaju. Ergasii immoo miʼa sana kophaatti baasee ammas bultii torba haa tursu.
he will tell the person [who owns it] to wash it. Then he must put it in a separate place for another seven days.
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.
Then the priest will examine it again. If the color of the mildew has not changed, even though it has not spread, that item must not be worn again. It does not matter if the mildew is on the inside of the clothing or on the outside; it must be burned.
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.
But when the priest examines it [after it has been washed], if the mildew has faded, he must tear out that part that had the mildew in it.
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.
But if the mildew reappears in that item, it is clear that it is spreading, and the whole item must be burned.
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.”
But after the clothing is washed and the mildew disappears, it must be washed again, and then it can be worn again.
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.
Those are the regulations concerning mildew on things made of wool or linen or leather, for deciding whether those things can continue to be worn or not.”
