Levítico 13
1 Yahvé habló a Moisés y a Aarón, diciendo:
The Lord told Moses and Aaron,
2 “Cuando uno tuviere en la piel de su carne tumor, pústula o mancha reluciente que podría resultar ser llaga de lepra en la piel de su carne, será llevado al sacerdote Aarón o a uno de sus hijos, los sacerdotes.
“Anyone who has a swelling, a rash, or a spot on the skin that may be an infectious skin disease must be taken to Aaron the priest or to one of his descendants.
3 El sacerdote examinará la llaga en la piel de la carne; y si el pelo de la llaga se ha vuelto blanco, y la llaga parece más hundida que la piel de su carne, es llaga de lepra, y el sacerdote que le haya examinado le declarará impuro.
The priest will inspect whatever is on the skin. If the hair there has turned white and if the issue seems to be more than something on the surface, it is a serious skin disease, and the priest who inspects it will declare the person unclean.
4 Mas si hay en la piel de su carne una mancha blanca sin que parezca más hundida que la piel, y sin que el pelo se haya vuelto blanco, el sacerdote recluirá al hombre afectado durante siete días.
But if the spot is only a white discoloration and doesn't seem to be more than superficial, and if the hair on the spot has not turned white, the priest will place the person in isolation for seven days.
5 Al día séptimo lo revisará el sacerdote, y si a su parecer la llaga no ha cundido y no ha hecho progreso en la piel, lo recluirá otros siete días.
On the seventh day the priest will conduct another inspection, and if he discovers that the spot hasn't changed and hasn't spread on the skin, the priest must place the person in isolation for another seven days.
6 Pasados estos siete días el sacerdote lo revisará nuevamente, y si la llaga ha palidecido y no se ha extendido en la piel, lo declarará puro; es una erupción. Lavará sus vestidos y quedará puro.
On the seventh day after this the priest will inspect it again. If the spot has faded and has not spread on the skin, the priest will declare the person clean since it was a rash. They must wash their clothes and will be clean.
7 Mas si la mancha en la piel siguiere cundiendo después de mostrarse el hombre al sacerdote para ser declarado limpio, será revisado otra vez por el sacerdote.
However, if the rash does spread after the person has been inspected by the priest and has been declared clean, the person must go back to be inspected again.
8 El sacerdote le revisará y si la mancha se ha extendido por la piel, el sacerdote lo declarará inmundo: es lepra.
If the priest discovers that the rash has spread, he must declare the person unclean because it is certainly a skin disease.
9 Cuando se mostrare en un hombre la plaga de la lepra, será llevado al sacerdote.
Anyone who develops an infectious skin disease must be taken to the priest.
10 El sacerdote lo revisará y si observa un tumor blanco en la piel, y mudado en blanco el color del pelo, y carne viva en la hinchazón,
The priest will inspect them, and if there is a white swelling on the skin and the hair there has turned white, and there is an open wound in the swelling,
11 es lepra inveterada en la piel de su carne; el sacerdote lo declarará impuro y no lo recluirá, pues es impuro.
it is a serious skin disease and the priest must declare them unclean. He doesn't need to place the person in isolation because they are unclean.
12 Pero si la lepra ha cundido mucho en la piel, hasta cubrir toda la piel del enfermo desde la cabeza a los pies, en cuanto alcanza a verlo el sacerdote,
However, if the skin disease affects all their skin so that it covers their skin from head to toe, everywhere the priest can see,
13 este lo examinará, y si la lepra ha cubierto toda su carne, declarará puro al afectado por la plaga: se ha vuelto todo blanco; es puro.
the priest shall inspect them, and if the disease has covered their entire body, he will declare the person clean. As it has all turned white, they are clean.
14 Mas cuando se ve en él carne viva quedará impuro;
But if when someone's inspected an open wound is found, they will be unclean.
15 y cuando el sacerdote observe la carne viva, lo declarará impuro; la carne viva es impura; es lepra;
When the priest discovers an open wound, he must declare the person unclean. The open wound is unclean; it is an infectious skin disease.
16 Pero si la carne viva cambia volviéndose blanca, ha de presentarse al sacerdote.
But if the open wound heals and becomes white, the person must go back to the priest.
17 El sacerdote lo examinará, y al ver que la plaga se ha vuelto blanca, declarará puro al afectado por la enfermedad, y este quedará puro.
The priest will inspect them again, and if the wound has turned white, the priest is to declare the person clean; then they are clean.
18 Cuando en la piel de la carne de alguno hubiere una úlcera que se ha curado,
When a boil comes up on someone's skin and then it heals,
19 y apareciere en el lugar de la úlcera un tumor blanco, o una mancha de color blanco rojizo, este tal ha de presentarse al sacerdote.
and a white swelling or a reddish-white spot appears in its place, they must show themselves to the priest.
20 El sacerdote lo examinará, y si la mancha parece más hundida que la piel, y su pelo se ha vuelto blanco, lo declarará impuro. Es llaga de lepra que se ha producido en la úlcera.
The priest shall inspect it, and if it seems to be more than something on the surface, and if the hair there has turned white, the priest shall declare him unclean. It is a serious skin disease that has infected the boil.
21 Mas si el sacerdote ve que no hay en ella pelo blanco, ni está más hundida que la piel, y que ha tomado color pálido, lo recluirá por siete días.
However, if when the priest inspects it, it doesn't have white hair in it and doesn't seem to be more than superficial, and has faded, the priest is to place the person in isolation for seven days.
22 Si entonces se extendiere por la piel, el sacerdote lo declarará impuro; es lepra.
If then the spot has spread further on the skin, the priest will declare them unclean; it is a disease.
23 Pero si la mancha sigue estacionaria en su lugar, sin extenderse, es cicatriz de la úlcera; y el sacerdote lo declarará puro.
But if the spot stays the same and doesn't spread, it's just the scar from the boil, and the priest will declare them clean.
24 Cuando uno tiene en la piel de su carne quemadura de fuego, y aparece sobre la quemadura una mancha, de color blanco rojizo o solo blanco,
If someone has a burn on their skin and where it's raw changes into a reddish-white or white spot,
25 la examinará el sacerdote; y si el pelo se ha vuelto blanco en la mancha blanca y ella aparece más hundida que la piel, es lepra que se ha producido en la quemadura. El sacerdote lo declarará impuro. Es llaga de lepra.
the priest must inspect it. If the hair in the spot has turned white and the spot seems to be more than something on the surface, it is a serious skin disease that has infected the burn, and the priest who inspects it will declare the person unclean. It is an infectious skin disease.
26 Si, en cambio, el sacerdote observa que en la mancha no aparece pelo blanco y que no está más hundida que la piel y que ha palidecido, lo recluirá siete días.
However, if when the priest inspects it, it doesn't have white hair in it and doesn't seem to be more than superficial, and has faded, the priest is to place the person in isolation for seven days.
27 Al séptimo día lo examinará, y si (la mancha) se ha extendido por la piel, el sacerdote le declarará impuro; es llaga de lepra.
On the seventh day the priest will inspect the person again. If then the spot has spread further on the skin, the priest will declare them unclean; it is a serious skin disease.
28 Pero si la mancha sigue estacionaria en su lugar, sin cundir en la piel, y ha cobrado color pálido, es hinchazón de quemadura, y el sacerdote lo declarará puro; pues es cicatriz de la quemadura.
But if the spot stays the same and hasn't spread on the skin, but has faded, it's the swelling from the burn, and the priest will declare them clean because it's just the scar from the burn.
29 Cuando un hombre o una mujer tuvieren una llaga en la cabeza o en la barba,
If someone, man or woman, has a sore on the head or chin,
30 el sacerdote examinará la llaga, y si esta aparece más hundida que la piel, y si hay en ella pelo amarillento y más delgado, el sacerdote lo declarará impuro, es tina, o sea lepra de la cabeza o de la barba.
the priest shall inspect it, and if it appears to be more than superficial and the hair in it has become pale and thin, the priest must declare them unclean; it is an infection producing scabs, a serious disease of the head or chin.
31 Mas si el sacerdote ve que la llaga de la tina no aparece más hundida que la piel, aunque no hay en ella pelo negro, recluirá al enfermo de la tina por siete días.
However, if the priest inspects the scabby infection and it doesn't seem to be more than superficial and has no pale hair in it, the priest is to place the person in isolation for seven days.
32 Al séptimo lo examinará el sacerdote, y si no ha cundido la tiña, ni hay en ella pelo amarillento, ni aparece la tina más hundida que la piel,
On the seventh day the priest will inspect the person again and if the scabby infection has not spread and there is no pale hair in it, and it doesn't seem to be more than superficial,
33 se afeitará aquella persona, excepto el lugar de la tiña; y el sacerdote recluirá al tiñoso durante otros siete días.
then the person must shave themselves except for the scaly area. The priest is to place the person in isolation for another seven days.

On the seventh day the priest will inspect the scabby infection, and if it has not spread on the skin and doesn't seem to be more than superficial, the priest is to pronounce the person clean. They must wash their clothes and will be clean.
35 Pero si la tiña, después de la purificación, se extendiere mucho por la piel,
However, if the scabby infection has spread on the skin after been declared clean,
36 lo examinará el sacerdote, y si la tiña se ha extendido por la piel, el sacerdote ya no tendrá que buscar el pelo amarillento; aquella persona es impura.
the priest must inspect them, and if the scabby infection has indeed spread on the skin, the priest doesn't need to check for pale hair; the person is unclean.
37 Mas si según su opinión la tiña no se ha extendido, y ha brotado en ella pelo negro, se ha curado la tifia. Esa persona es pura, y el sacerdote la declarará pura.
But if the priest sees that the scabby infection hasn't changed, and black hair has grown in it, then it has healed. The person is clean, and the priest must declare it.
38 Cuando un hombre o una mujer tuviere en la piel de su carne manchas blancas,
If someone, man or woman, has white spots on the skin,

42 Mas si en la calva, por detrás o por delante, aparece una llaga de color blanco rojizo, es lepra que ha nacido en la calva, sea por detrás o por delante.
But if a reddish-white sore appears on his bald head or forehead, it is an infectious disease developing.

51 Al séptimo el sacerdote examinará la plaga, y si la plaga se ha extendido en el vestido, sea en la urdimbre o en la trama, o en la piel, o en cualquier objeto hecho de cuero, lepra maligna es la tal plaga, y (el objeto) queda impuro.
On the seventh day the priest shall inspect it again, and if the patch of mold has spread in the material, whether it's leather, woven, or knitted or some other leather item, then it is a harmful mold; the article is unclean, whatever it is being used for.

The priest is to burn it, whether the affected item is wool or linen or leather. Because the mold is harmful, the article must be burned.

If the priest inspects it and the patch of mold has faded after it has been washed, he is to cut out the affected part the material, whether it's leather, woven, or knitted.

However, if the mold comes back then it is spreading. In that case you must burn the affected item.

If the mold disappears after washing, then have it washed again, and it will be clean.
