Levítico 13

1 Yahvé habló a Moisés y a Aarón, diciendo:

And YHWH speaks to Moses and to Aaron, saying,

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.

“When a man has a rising, or scab, or bright spot in the skin of his flesh, and it has become a leprous plague in the skin of his flesh, then he has been brought to Aaron the priest, or to one of his sons the priests;

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.

and the priest has seen the plague in the skin of the flesh, and the hair in the plague has turned white, and the appearance of the plague [is] deeper than the skin of his flesh—it [is] a plague of leprosy, and the priest has seen him, and has pronounced him 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.

And if the bright spot is white in the skin of his flesh, and its appearance is not deeper than the skin, and its hair has not turned white, then the priest has shut up [him who has] the plague [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.

And the priest has seen him on the seventh day, and behold, the plague has stood in his eyes, the plague has not spread in the skin, and the priest has shut him up [for] a second 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.

And the priest has seen him on the second seventh day, and behold, the plague has faded, and the plague has not spread in the skin, and the priest has pronounced him clean; it [is] a scab, and he has washed his garments, and has been 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.

And if the scab spreads greatly in the skin, after his being seen by the priest for his cleansing, then he has been seen a second time by the priest;

8 El sacerdote le revisará y si la mancha se ha extendido por la piel, el sacerdote lo declarará inmundo: es lepra.

and the priest has seen, and behold, the scab has spread in the skin, and the priest has pronounced him unclean; it [is] leprosy.

9 Cuando se mostrare en un hombre la plaga de la lepra, será llevado al sacerdote.

When a plague of leprosy is in a man, then he has been brought 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,

and the priest has seen, and behold, a white rising in the skin, and it has turned the hair white, and a quickening of raw flesh [is] in the rising—

11 es lepra inveterada en la piel de su carne; el sacerdote lo declarará impuro y no lo recluirá, pues es impuro.

it [is] an old leprosy in the skin of his flesh, and the priest has pronounced him unclean; he does not shut him up, for he [is] 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,

And if the leprosy breaks out greatly in the skin, and the leprosy has covered all the skin of [him who has] the plague, from his head even to his feet, to all that appears to the eyes of the priest,

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.

then the priest has seen, and behold, the leprosy has covered all his flesh, and he has pronounced [him who has] the plague clean; it has all turned white; he [is] clean.

14 Mas cuando se ve en él carne viva quedará impuro;

And in the day of raw flesh being seen in him, he is unclean;

15 y cuando el sacerdote observe la carne viva, lo declarará impuro; la carne viva es impura; es lepra;

and the priest has seen the raw flesh, and has pronounced him unclean; the raw flesh is unclean—it [is] leprosy.

16 Pero si la carne viva cambia volviéndose blanca, ha de presentarse al sacerdote.

Or when the raw flesh turns back, and has been turned to white, then he has come 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.

and the priest has seen him, and behold, the plague has been turned to white, and the priest has pronounced clean [him who has] the plague; he [is] clean.

18 Cuando en la piel de la carne de alguno hubiere una úlcera que se ha curado,

And when flesh has in it, in its skin, an ulcer, and it has been healed,

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 there has been in the place of the ulcer a white rising, or a bright white spot, reddish, then it has been seen by 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.

and the priest has seen, and behold, its appearance [is] lower than the skin, and its hair has turned white, and the priest has pronounced him unclean; it [is] a plague of leprosy—it has broken out in an ulcer.

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.

And if the priest sees it, and behold, there is no white hair in it, and it is not lower than the skin, and has faded, then the priest has shut him up [for] seven days;

22 Si entonces se extendiere por la piel, el sacerdote lo declarará impuro; es lepra.

and if it spreads greatly in the skin, then the priest has pronounced him unclean—it [is] a plague;

23 Pero si la mancha sigue estacionaria en su lugar, sin extenderse, es cicatriz de la úlcera; y el sacerdote lo declarará puro.

and if the bright spot stays in its place—it has not spread—it [is] an inflammation of the ulcer; and the priest has pronounced him 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,

Or when flesh has a fiery burning in its skin, and the quickening of the burning, the bright white spot, has been reddish or white,

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.

and the priest has seen it, and behold, the hair has turned white in the bright spot, and its appearance [is] deeper than the skin, it [is] leprosy; it has broken out in the burning, and the priest has pronounced him unclean; it [is] a plague of leprosy.

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.

And if the priest sees it, and behold, there is no white hair on the bright spot, and it is not lower than the skin, and it has faded, then the priest has shut him up [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.

and the priest has seen him on the seventh day, [and] if it spreads greatly in the skin, then the priest has pronounced him unclean; it [is] a plague of leprosy.

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.

And if the bright spot stays in its place, it has not spread in the skin, and has faded; it [is] a rising of the burning, and the priest has pronounced him clean; for it [is] inflammation of the burning.

29 Cuando un hombre o una mujer tuvieren una llaga en la cabeza o en la barba,

And when a man (or a woman) has a plague in him, in the head or in the beard,

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.

then the priest has seen the plague, and behold, its appearance is deeper than the skin, and a thin, shining hair [is] in it, and the priest has pronounced him unclean; it [is] a scale—it [is] a leprosy of the head or of the beard.

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.

And when the priest sees the scaly plague, and behold, its appearance is not deeper than the skin, and there is no black hair in it, then the priest has shut up [him who has] the scaly plague [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,

And the priest has seen the plague on the seventh day, and behold, the scale has not spread, and a shining hair has not been in it, and the appearance of the scale is not deeper than the skin,

33 se afeitará aquella persona, excepto el lugar de la tiña; y el sacerdote recluirá al tiñoso durante otros siete días.

then he has shaved himself, but he does not shave the scale; and the priest has shut up [him who has] the scale [for] a second seven days.

34 Al séptimo día lo examinará el sacerdote, y si no ha cundido la tiña por la piel, ni aparece más hundida que la piel, lo declarará puro. Lavará sus vestidos y quedará puro.

And the priest has seen the scale on the seventh day, and behold, the scale has not spread in the skin, and its appearance is not deeper than the skin, and the priest has pronounced him clean, and he has washed his garments, and has been clean.

35 Pero si la tiña, después de la purificación, se extendiere mucho por la piel,

And if the scale spreads greatly in the skin after his cleansing,

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.

and the priest has seen him, and behold, the scale has spread in the skin, the priest does not seek for the shining hair—he 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.

and if in his eyes the scale has stayed, and black hair has sprung up in it, the scale has been healed—he [is] clean—and the priest has pronounced him clean.

38 Cuando un hombre o una mujer tuviere en la piel de su carne manchas blancas,

And when a man or woman has bright spots in the skin of their flesh, white bright spots,

39 el sacerdote los examinará y si las manchas lustrosas en la piel de su carne son de color pálido blanco, es una eczema que ha brotado en la piel; esa persona es pura.

and the priest has seen, and behold, white [and] faded bright spots [are] in the skin of their flesh—it [is] a freckled spot broken out in the skin; he [is] clean.

40 Si a alguno se le caen los pelos, es un calvo, pero queda puro.

And when a man’s head [is] polished, he [is] bald; he [is] clean;

41 Y si los pelos se le caen de la parte delantera de la cabeza, es calvo de frente, pero queda puro.

and if his head is polished from the corner of his face, he [is] bald of the forehead; he [is] clean.

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.

And when there is in the bald back of the head, or in the bald forehead, a reddish-white plague, it [is] a leprosy breaking out in the bald back of the head, or in the bald forehead;

43 El sacerdote lo examinará, y si la hinchazón de la llaga en la parte calva, sea por detrás o por delante, es de color blanco rojizo teniendo el aspecto de la lepra en la piel de la carne,

and the priest has seen him, and behold, the rising of the reddish-white plague in the bald back of the head, or in the bald forehead, [is] as the appearance of leprosy, in the skin of the flesh,

44 es leproso; es impuro; el sacerdote lo declarará impuro; su lepra está en la cabeza.

he [is] a leprous man—he [is] unclean; the priest pronounces him utterly unclean; his plague [is] in his head.

45 El afectado por la lepra, llevará sus vestidos rasgados, dejará descubierta su cabeza, se tapará la boca y caminará gritando: ¡Impuro, impuro!

As for the leper in whom [is] the plague, his garments are torn, and his head is uncovered, and he covers over the upper lip, and he calls, Unclean! Unclean!

46 Todo el tiempo que durare la plaga, quedará impuro; impuro es; habitará solo; fuera del campamento será su morada.

He is unclean all the days that the plague [is] in him; he [is] unclean. He dwells alone; his dwelling [is] at the outside of the camp.

47 Cuando aparezca plaga de lepra en un vestido de lana o en un vestido de lino,

And when there is a plague of leprosy in any garment—in a garment of wool, or in a garment of linen,

48 sea en la urdimbre del lino o de la lana, o sea en la trama, o en una piel, o en cualquier objeto hecho de cuero,

or in the warp, or in the woof, of linen or of wool, or in a skin, or in any work of skin—

49 si la mancha en el vestido o en la piel, o en la urdimbre, o en la trama, o en cualquier objeto hecho de cuero, tiene color verdoso o rojizo, es plaga de lepra y debe ser mostrada al sacerdote.

and the plague has been greenish or reddish in the garment, or in the skin, or in the warp, or in the woof, or in any vessel of skin, it [is] a plague of leprosy, and it has been shown [to] the priest.

50 El sacerdote examinará la mancha y encerrará el objeto manchado durante siete días.

And the priest has seen the plague, and has shut up [that which has] the plague [for] seven days;

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.

and he has seen the plague on the seventh day, and the plague has spread in the garment, or in the warp, or in the woof, or in the skin, of all that is made of skin for work, the plague [is] a fretting leprosy; it [is] unclean.

52 Por lo cual se quemará el vestido, esté (la mancha) en la urdimbre o en la trama de lana o de lino, y asimismo cualquier objeto de piel en que se encuentre la mancha; pues es lepra maligna; será entregado al fuego.

And he has burned the garment, or the warp, or the woof, in wool or in linen, or any vessel of skin in which the plague is; for it [is] a fretting leprosy; it is burned with fire.

53 Pero si el sacerdote ve que no ha cundido la mancha por el vestido, ni en la urdimbre, ni en la trama, ni en cualquier objeto de piel,

And if the priest sees, and behold, the plague has not spread in the garment, or in the warp, or in the woof, or in any vessel of skin,

54 el sacerdote hará lavar el objeto manchado y lo encerrará otros siete días.

then the priest has commanded, and they have washed that in which the plague [is], and he has shut it up [for] a second seven days.

55 Si el sacerdote ve que la mancha después de haber sido lavada no ha mudado de aspecto, aunque la mancha no se haya extendido, (el objeto) es impuro; lo entregará al fuego; es una corrosión en su reverso o en su anverso.

And the priest has seen [that which has] the plague after it has been washed, and behold, the plague has not changed its aspect, and the plague has not spread—it [is] unclean; you burn it with fire; it [is] a fretting in its back-part or in its front-part.

56 Mas si el sacerdote ve que la parte manchada, después de lavada, ha tomado color, la rasgará del vestido, de la piel, de la urdimbre o de la trama respectiva.

And if the priest has seen, and behold, the plague has faded after it has been washed, then he has torn it out of the garment, or out of the skin, or out of the warp, or out of the woof;

57 Pero si volviere a aparecer en el vestido, sea en la urdimbre o en la trama o en cualquier objeto de cuero, es una erupción (de lepra); entregarás al fuego aquello en que estuviese la lepra.

and if it is still seen in the garment, or in the warp, or in the woof, or in any vessel of skin, it [is] a fretting; you burn it with fire—that in which the plague [is].

58 Mas si el vestido, la urdimbre o la trama, o cualquier objeto de cuero que después de ser lavados pierden la mancha, serán lavados por segunda vez y quedarán limpios.

And the garment, or the warp, or the woof, or any vessel of skin which you wash when the plague has turned aside from them, then it has been washed a second time, and has been clean.

59 Esta es la ley de la plaga de la lepra que se halla en los vestidos de lana o de lino, sea en la urdimbre o en la trama, o en cualquier objeto hecho de cuero, para declararlos puros o impuros.”

This [is] the law of a plague of leprosy [in] a garment of wool or of linen, or of the warp or of the woof, or of any vessel of skin, to pronounce it clean or to pronounce it unclean.”
