Levítico 14
1 Habló Yahvé a Moisés, diciendo:
And the Lord said to Moses,
2 “Esta es la ley del leproso en el día de su purificación: Se lo conducirá al sacerdote,
This is the law of the leper on the day when he is made clean: he is to be taken to the priest;
3 y el sacerdote saldrá fuera del campamento; y si ve que el leproso ya está curado de la llaga de la lepra,
And the priest is to go outside the tent-circle; and if, after looking, the priest sees that the mark of the disease has gone from him,
4 mandará tomar para aquel que ha de ser purificado dos pájaros vivos y puros, madera de cedro, púrpura escarlata e hisopo.
Then the priest is to give orders to take, for him who is to be made clean, two living clean birds and some cedar wood and red thread and hyssop.
5 Después el sacerdote mandará degollar uno de los pájaros sobre una vasija de barro con agua viva.
And the priest will give orders for one of the birds to be put to death in a vessel made of earth, over flowing water.
6 Luego tomará el pájaro vivo, la madera de cedro, la púrpura escarlata y el hisopo, los mojará, juntamente con el pájaro vivo, en la sangre del pájaro degollado sobre el agua viva,
And he will take the living bird and the wood and the red thread and the hyssop and put them in the blood of the bird which was put to death over flowing water.
7 y rociará siete veces al que ha de ser purificado de la lepra. Así lo purificará; luego soltará en el campo al pájaro vivo.
And shaking it seven times over the man who is to be made clean, he will say that he is clean and will let the living bird go free into the open country.
8 Aquel que ha de purificarse lavará sus vestidos, se raerá todo su pelo, y se bañará en agua, y quedará limpio. Después podrá entrar en el campamento; pero durante siete días ha de habitar fuera de su tienda.
And he who is to be made clean will have his clothing washed and his hair cut and have a bath, and he will be clean. And after that he will come back to the tent-circle; but he is to keep outside his tent for seven days.
9 El día séptimo se raerá todo su pelo, sus cabellos, su barba, sus cejas; en fin, raerá todo su pelo; lavara también sus vestidos, bañará su cuerpo en agua, y quedará limpio.
And on the seventh day he is to have all the hair cut off his head and his chin and over his eyes — all his hair is to be cut off — and he will have his clothing washed and his body bathed in water and he will be clean.
10 El día octavo tomará dos corderos sin tacha y una oveja primal sin tacha, y como oblación tres décimas de flor de harina amasada con aceite, y un log de aceite.
And on the eighth day let him take two male lambs, without any marks on them, and one female lamb of the first year, without a mark, and three tenth parts of an ephah of the best meal, mixed with oil, and one log of oil.
11 El sacerdote que hace la purificación, presentará al hombre que ha de purificarse, juntamente con aquellas cosas, ante Yahvé, a la entrada del Tabernáculo de la Reunión;
And the priest who is making him clean will put the man who is being made clean, together with these things, before the door of the Tent of meeting.
12 y tomará el sacerdote uno de los corderos para ofrecerlo como sacrificio por la culpa, además del log de aceite, y lo mecerá por ofrenda ante Yahvé.
And the priest is to take one of the male lambs and give it as an offering for wrongdoing, and the log of oil, waving them for a wave offering before the Lord;
13 Luego inmolará el cordero en el lugar donde se inmola el sacrificio por el pecado y el holocausto, en lugar sagrado; porque así como en el sacrificio por el pecado, así también en el sacrificio por la culpa la víctima es para el sacerdote; es cosa santísima.
And he is to put the male lamb to death in the place where they put to death the sin-offering and the burned offering, in the holy place; for as the sin-offering is the property of the priest, so is the offering for wrongdoing: it is most holy.
14 Después tomará el sacerdote de la sangre de la víctima por el delito, y la pondrá sobre el lóbulo de la oreja derecha del que se está purificando, sobre el pulgar de su mano derecha y sobre el dedo gordo de su pie derecho.
And let the priest take some of the blood of the offering for wrongdoing and put it on the point of the right ear of him who is to be made clean, and on the thumb of his right hand and on the great toe of his right foot;
15 Y tomando el log de aceite echará el sacerdote parte de él sobre la palma de su mano izquierda.
And take some of the oil and put it in the hollow of his left hand;
16 Después mojará el sacerdote el dedo de su mano derecha en el aceite que tiene en la palma de su mano izquierda, y con su dedo hará siete aspersiones de aceite delante de Yahvé.
And let the priest put his right finger in the oil which is in his left hand, shaking it out with his finger seven times before the Lord;
17 Con el resto del aceite que tiene en la palma de su mano untará el sacerdote el lóbulo de la oreja derecha del que se purifica, el pulgar de su mano derecha y el dedo gordo de su pie derecho, por encima de la sangre de la victima expiatoria.
And of the rest of the oil which is in his hand, the priest will put some on the point of the right ear of the man who is to be made clean, and on the thumb of his right hand and on the great toe of his right foot, over the blood of the offering for wrongdoing;
18 El resto del aceite que queda en la mano del sacerdote, se echara sobre la cabeza del que se purifica, y el sacerdote hará expiación por él ante Yahvé.
And the rest of the oil in the priest's hand he will put on the head of him who is to be made clean; and so the priest will make him free from sin before the Lord.
19 Entonces el sacerdote ofrecerá el sacrificio por el pecado, y hará expiación por quien se purifica de su inmundicia, finalmente degollará el holocausto.
And the priest will give the sin-offering, and take away the sin of him who is to be made clean from his unclean condition; and after that he will put the burned offering to death.
20 Ese holocausto y la oblación los ofrecerá el sacerdote sobre el altar. De esta manera el sacerdote hará expiación por él; y quedará limpio.
And the priest is to have the burned offering and the meal offering burned on the altar; and the priest will take away his sin and he will be clean.
21 Si es pobre y no tiene suficientes recursos, tomará un cordero que será ofrecido en sacrificio por la culpa, como ofrenda mecida, para hacer expiación por él, y además, como oblación una décima de flor de harina amasada con aceite, y un log de aceite,
And if he is poor and not able to get so much, then he may take one male lamb as an offering for wrongdoing, to be waved to take away his sin, and one tenth part of an ephah of the best meal mixed with oil for a meal offering, and a log of oil;
22 y dos tórtolas o dos palominos, según sus recursos, el uno como sacrificio por el pecado y el otro para holocausto:
And two doves or two young pigeons, such as he is able to get; and one will be for a sin-offering and the other for a burned offering.
23 Al octavo día, los llevará al sacerdote, a la entrada del Tabernáculo de la Reunión, para su purificación delante de Yahvé.
And on the eighth day he will take them to the priest, to the door of the Tent of meeting before the Lord, so that he may be made clean.
24 El sacerdote tomará el cordero del sacrificio por la culpa y el log de aceite, y los mecerá por ofrenda ante Yahvé.
And the priest will take the lamb of the offering for wrongdoing and the oil, waving them for a wave offering before the Lord;
25 Y después de haber inmolado el cordero del sacrificio por la culpa, tomará el sacerdote de la sangre de la victima expiatoria y la pondrá sobre el lóbulo de la oreja derecha del que se purifica, sobre el pulgar de su mano derecha, y sobre el dedo gordo de su pie derecho.
And he will put to death the lamb of the offering for wrongdoing and the priest will take some of the blood of the offering for wrongdoing and put it on the point of the right ear of him who is to be made clean, and on the thumb of his right hand and on the great toe of his right foot;
26 Luego derramará el sacerdote parte del aceite sobre la palma de su mano izquierda;
And the priest will put out some of the oil in the hollow of his left hand,
27 y con el dedo de su mano derecha hará ante Yahvé siete aspersiones, con el aceite que tiene en la palma de su mano izquierda,
Shaking out drops of oil with his right finger before the Lord seven times:
28 y pondrá parte del aceite que tiene en su mano, sobre el lóbulo de la oreja derecha del que se purifica, sobre el pulgar de su mano derecha, y sobre el dedo gordo de su pie derecho, en el lugar donde puso la sangre de la víctima por la culpa.
And the priest will put some of the oil which is in his hand on the point of the ear of the man who is to be made clean and on the thumb of his right hand and on the great toe of his right foot, on the place where the blood of the offering for wrongdoing was put;
29 El resto del aceite que le queda en la mano lo pondrá el sacerdote sobre la cabeza del que se purifica, haciendo expiación por él ante Yahvé.
And the rest of the oil which is in the priest's hand he will put on the head of him who is to be made clean, to take away his sin before the Lord.
30 Luego ofrecerá según sus posibilidades una de las tórtolas o de los palominos,
And he will make an offering of one of the doves or the young pigeons, such as he is able to get;
31 es decir, en la medida de sus recursos, el uno como sacrificio por el pecado, y el otro para holocausto, además de la oblación. De este modo el sacerdote hará expiación ante Yahvé por aquel que se purifica.
And of these, he will give one for a sin-offering and one for a burned offering, with the meal offering; and the priest will take away the sin of him who is to be made clean before the Lord.
32 Esta es la ley de purificación para aquel que tiene plaga de lepra y cuyos recursos son limitados.”
This is the law for the man who has the disease of the leper on him, and who is not able to get that which is necessary for making himself clean.
33 Yahvé habló a Moisés y Aarón y dijo:
And the Lord said to Moses and Aaron,
34 “Cuando hayáis entrado en la tierra de Canaán que Yo os daré en posesión, y ponga la plaga de la lepra en alguna casa de la tierra de vuestra posesión,
When you have come into the land of Canaan which I will give you for your heritage, if I put the leper's disease on a house in the land of your heritage,
35 el propietario de la casa irá a avisar al sacerdote, diciendo: Me parece que hay algo como lepra en mi casa.
Then let the owner of the house come and say to the priest, It seems to me that there is a sort of leper's disease in the house.
36 El sacerdote antes de entrar en la casa para examinar la lepra, dispondrá su evacuación, para que no quede contaminado todo lo que hay en ella. Después entrará a registrar la casa.
And the priest will give orders for everything to be taken out of the house, before he goes in to see the disease, so that the things in the house may not become unclean; and then the priest is to go in to see the house;
37 Si al examinar la plaga observa que las manchas en las paredes de la casa forman cavidades verdosas y rojizas, que parecen hundidas en la pared,
And if he sees that the walls of the house are marked with hollows of green and red, and if it seems to go deeper than the face of the wall;
38 el sacerdote se retirará del interior hasta la puerta de la casa y cerrará la casa por siete días.
Then the priest will go out of the door of the house, and keep the house shut up for seven days:
39 Volverá el sacerdote al día séptimo y si viere que la lepra se ha extendido en las paredes de la casa,
And the priest is to come again on the seventh day and have a look and see if the marks on the walls of the house are increased in size;
40 mandará arrancar las piedras manchadas y arrojarlas fuera de la ciudad en un lugar inmundo.
Then the priest will give orders to them to take out the stones in which the disease is seen, and put them out into an unclean place outside the town:
41 Hará raspar todo el interior de la casa; y el polvo que quiten raspando, lo echarán fuera de la ciudad en un lugar inmundo.
And he will have the house rubbed all over inside, and the paste which is rubbed off will be put out into an unclean place outside the town:
42 Luego tomarán otras piedras y las volverán a poner en lugar de aquellas y también otra argamasa para revocar la casa.
And they will take other stones and put them in place of those stones, and he will take other paste and put it on the walls of the house.
43 Si con todo la plaga volviere a difundirse en la casa después de arrancar las piedras, y después de raspar y revocar la casa,
And if the disease comes out again in the house after he has taken out the stones and after the walls have been rubbed and the new paste put on,
44 entrará de nuevo el sacerdote, y si viere que la plaga se ha extendido en la casa, es lepra maligna de la casa y esta es inmunda.
Then the priest will come and see it; and if the disease in the house is increased in size, it is the leper's disease working out in the house: it is unclean.
45 Se derribará aquella casa; y sus piedras y su maderamen y todo el material de la casa, todo será sacado fuera de la ciudad, a un lugar inmundo.
And the house will have to be pulled down, the stones of it and the wood and the paste; and everything is to be taken out to an unclean place outside the town.
46 Quien entrare en esa casa durante todo el tiempo que estuviere cerrada, quedará inmundo hasta la tarde.
And, in addition, anyone who goes into the house at any time, while it is shut up, will be unclean till evening.
47 El que durmiere en aquella casa lavará sus vestidos; y también el que comiere en esa casa lavara sus vestidos.
And anyone who has been sleeping in the house will have to have his clothing washed; and anyone who takes food in that house will have to have his clothing washed.
48 Mas si el sacerdote al entrar nota que la plaga, después de revocada la casa, no ha cundido en ella, la declarará limpia, pues se ha curado de la plaga.
And if the priest comes in, and sees that the disease is not increased after the new paste has been put on the house, then the priest will say that the house is clean, because the disease is gone.
49 Entonces para purificar la casa, tomará dos pájaros, madera de cedro, lana escarlata e hisopo;
And in order to make the house clean, let him take two birds and cedar-wood and red thread and hyssop;
50 degollará uno de los pájaros sobre una vasija de barro con agua viva:
And put one of the birds to death in a vessel of earth over flowing water;
51 y tomando la madera de cedro, el hisopo y la lana escarlata, con el pájaro vivo, los mojará en la sangre del pájaro degollado y en el agua viva y rociará la casa siete veces.
And take the cedar-wood and the hyssop and the red thread and the living bird and put them in the blood of the dead bird and in the flowing water, shaking it over the house seven times.
52 Así purificará la casa con la sangre del pájaro, con el agua viva, el pájaro vivo, la madera de cedro, el hisopo y la lana escarlata.
And he will make the house clean with the blood of the bird and the flowing water and with the living bird and with the cedar-wood and the hyssop and the red thread.
53 Luego soltará el pájaro vivo fuera de la ciudad, en el campo. De este modo hará expiación por la casa, la cual quedará limpia.
But he will let the living bird go out of the town into the open country; so he will take away sin from the house and it will be clean.
54 Esta es la ley para toda clase de lepra y de tina,
This is the law for all signs of the leper's disease and for skin diseases;
55 para la lepra del vestido y de la casa,
And for signs of disease in clothing, or in a house;
56 y para los tumores y erupciones y manchas blancas,
And for a growth or a bad place or a bright mark on the skin;
57 para discernir cuándo una cosa es impura y cuándo es pura. Tal es la ley de la lepra.”
To make clear when it is unclean and when it is clean: this is the law about the disease of the leper.
