Levítico 14
1 El Señor le dijo a Moisés,
Yahweh also said to Moses/me,
2 “Estas son las normas relativas a los que han tenido una enfermedad de la piel cuando se declaran limpios habiendo sido llevados al sacerdote.
“These are the regulations for anyone who has been healed of a contagious skin disease.
3 El sacerdote debe salir del campamento e inspeccionar a la persona. Si la enfermedad de la piel se ha curado,
The person must be brought to a priest. The priest will take him outside the camp [to where that person has been staying], and examine him. If the skin disease has been healed,
4 el sacerdote hará que le traigan dos pájaros ceremoniales limpios, también algo de madera de cedro, hilo carmesí e hisopo, en nombre de la persona que se va a limpiar.
the priest will say that someone must bring two living birds that are acceptable to Yahweh, along with some cedar wood, some scarlet/red yarn, and some sprigs of (hyssop/a very leafy plant).
5 “El sacerdote ordenará que se mate a uno de los pájaros sobre una vasija de arcilla llena de agua fresca.
Then the priest will command that one of the birds be killed while [it is being held] over a clay pot containing water from a spring.
6 Tomarás el pájaro vivo junto con la madera de cedro, el hilo carmesí y el hisopo, y los mojará en la sangre del pájaro que fue matado sobre el agua fresca.
Then the priest will dip the other bird, along with the cedar wood, the scarlet/red yarn and the hyssop, into the blood of the bird that was killed.
7 Usará la sangre para rociar siete veces a la persona que está siendo limpiada de la enfermedad de la piel. Luego el sacerdote los declarará limpios y dejará que el pájaro vivo se vaya volando.
Then he must sprinkle some of the blood on the person who was healed; he must sprinkle it on him seven times. Then he will declare that the person is permitted to be with other people again. And the priest will release the other bird and allow it to fly away.
8 “El que se limpia debe lavar su ropa, afeitarse todo el pelo y lavarse con agua; entonces se limpiará ceremonialmente. Después de eso pueden entrar en el campamento, pero deben permanecer fuera de su tienda durante siete días.
“Then the person who was healed must wash his clothes, shave off all his hair, and bathe. Then he is allowed to return to the camp, but he must stay outside his tent for seven days.
9 El séptimo día se afeitarán todo el pelo: la cabeza, la barba, las cejas y el resto del cabello. Deben lavar su ropa y lavarse con agua, y estarán limpios.
On the seventh day, he must again shave off all his hair, including his beard and his eyebrows. Then he must again wash his clothes and bathe, and then he will be allowed to be with other people again.
10 “El octavo día traerán dos corderos machos y una hembra, todos de un año de edad y sin defectos; una ofrenda de grano que consiste en tres décimos de una efa de la mejor harina mezclada con aceite de oliva, y un ‘tronco’ de aceite de oliva.
“The next day that person must bring two male lambs and one female lamb that is one year old, all of them with no defects. He must also bring six quarts/liters of fine flour, mixed with olive oil, to be an offering, and (0.6 pint/0.3 liter) of olive oil.
11 El sacerdote que dirige la ceremonia presentará al Señor la persona a ser limpiada, junto con estas ofrendas, a la entrada del Tabernáculo de Reunión.
The priest who declares that the person’s skin disease is ended must bring that person, and his offerings, to me, Yahweh, at the entrance of the Sacred Tent.
12 El sacerdote tomará uno de los corderos machos y lo presentará como ofrenda por la culpa, junto con el tronco de aceite de oliva; y lo agitará ante el Señor como ofrenda mecida.
“Then the priest must take one of the male lambs and lift it up, along with the olive oil, in front of me, to be a guilt offering—[an offering for his being guilty for not giving to me the things that he was required to give me].
13 “Luego degollará el cordero cerca del santuario donde se degüella la ofrenda por el pecado y el holocausto. La ofrenda por el pecado y la ofrenda por la culpa pertenecen al sacerdote; es muy sagrada.
Then the priest must slaughter the lamb in the sacred place where the other sacrifices are offered. Like the offering to enable people to be forgiven, this guilt offering is holy, and belongs to the priest.
14 El sacerdote pondrá parte de la sangre de la ofrenda por la culpa en el lóbulo de la oreja derecha, en el pulgar derecho y en el dedo gordo del pie derecho de la persona que se está limpiando.
The priest must take some of the blood of that animal and pour it on the lobe/tip of the right ear and on the thumb of the right hand and on the big toe of the right foot of the one who has been healed of the skin disease.
15 El sacerdote echará un poco del tronco de aceite de oliva en su palma izquierda,
Then the priest must take some of the olive oil and pour it in the palm of his own left hand.
16 mojará su dedo índice derecho en él, y con su dedo rociará un poco de aceite de oliva siete veces ante el Señor.
Then he must dip the forefinger of his right hand into the oil in his palm, and sprinkle it in front of me seven times.
17 El sacerdote usará entonces parte del resto del aceite de oliva que queda en su palma sobre la persona que se está limpiando, y lo pondrá sobre la sangre de la ofrenda de culpa. Esto estará en el lóbulo de su oreja derecha, en su pulgar derecho y en el dedo gordo de su pie derecho, sobre la sangre de la ofrenda de culpa.
Then he must put some of the oil that is still in the palm of his hand on the lobe/tip of the right ear and the thumb of the right hand and on the big toe of the right foot of the person who has been healed of the skin disease. He must put it on top of the blood that he has already put on those places.
18 Lo que quede del aceite de oliva en su palma, el sacerdote lo pondrá sobre la cabeza de la persona que se está limpiando y luego lo hará justo ante el Señor.
The remaining oil in his palm must be put on the person’s head, [to indicate that I declare that] the person has been forgiven for having sinned.
19 El sacerdote sacrificará la ofrenda por el pecado para hacer a la persona correcta, de modo que ahora esté limpia de su impureza. Después de eso, el sacerdote matará el holocausto
“Then the priest must slaughter one of the other two animals, to show that the one who has been healed of the skin disease has been forgiven for having sinned, and that he has become acceptable to Yahweh. Then the priest will slaughter the animal that will be completely burned [on the altar].
20 y lo ofrecerá en el altar, junto con la ofrenda de grano, para enderezarlos, y estarán limpios.
He will also put on the altar the offering of grain, to indicate that the person has been forgiven for having sinned. Then that person will be allowed to be with other people again.
21 “Pero los que son pobres y no pueden pagar estas ofrendas deben traer un cordero macho como ofrenda de culpa para ser agitado para hacerlos rectos, junto con una décima parte de la mejor harina mezclada con aceite de oliva para una ofrenda de grano, un tronco de aceite de oliva,
“But if the person who has been healed of a skin disease is poor and cannot afford to bring all those animals, he must take to the priest one male lamb to be lifted up to be an offering for his not giving to me the things that he was required to give me. He must also take two quarts/liters of fine flour mixed with olive oil to be an offering made from grain, (0.6 pint/0.3 liter) of olive oil,
22 y dos tórtolas o dos pichones de paloma, lo que puedan pagar. Una se usará como ofrenda por el pecado y la otra como holocausto.
and two doves or two young pigeons, one for him to be forgiven for the sins he has committed, and one to be completely burned [on the altar].
23 “Al octavo día deben llevarlos al sacerdote a la entrada del Tabernáculo de Reunión ante el Señor para que los limpie.
“On that same day, that person must take those things to the priest at the entrance of the Sacred Tent, to offer them to Yahweh.
24 El sacerdote tomará el cordero para la ofrenda por la culpa, junto con el tronco de aceite de oliva, y los agitará como ofrenda mecida ante el Señor.
The priest will take the lamb for the offering for that person not giving to me the things that he was required to give me, along with the olive oil, and lift them up in front of me.
25 Después de matar el cordero para la ofrenda por la culpa, el sacerdote tomará un poco de la sangre de la ofrenda por la culpa y la pondrá en el lóbulo de la oreja derecha del que se está limpiando, en el pulgar derecho y en el dedo gordo del pie derecho.
Then the priest will slaughter that lamb [and drain some of the blood in a bowl], and take some of that blood and put it on the lobe/tip of the person’s right ear and on the thumb of his right hand and on the big toe of his right foot.
26 “Entonces el sacerdote verterá un poco de aceite de oliva en su palma izquierda
Then the priest will pour some of the oil into the palm of his left hand,
27 y con su dedo índice derecho, rociará un poco de aceite de su palma izquierda siete veces ante el Señor.
and with his right forefinger he must sprinkle some of the oil from his palm there in my presence.
28 El sacerdote pondrá también un poco de aceite de oliva en su palma, en el lóbulo de la oreja derecha de la persona que se está limpiando, en el pulgar derecho y en el dedo gordo del pie derecho, en los mismos lugares que la sangre de la ofrenda de culpa.
He must put some of the oil in his palm on the same places where he put the blood.
29 Lo que quede del aceite de oliva en su palma, el sacerdote lo pondrá en la cabeza de la persona que se está limpiando y luego lo pondrá delante del Señor.
He must put the rest of the oil that is in his hand on the head of the person who has been healed of a skin disease, to indicate that I have forgiven him for having sinned.
30 Luego deberán sacrificar una de las tórtolas o palomas jóvenes, según sus posibilidades,
Then the priest must sacrifice the doves or the pigeons, whichever that person has brought.
31 una como ofrenda por el pecado y la otra como holocausto, junto con la ofrenda de grano. Así es como el sacerdote hará a la persona correcta y limpia ante el Señor.
One will be an offering for sin and the other will be completely burned on the altar, along with the offering of grain. By doing that, the priest will declare that the person is no longer guilty for having sinned.
32 Estas son las normas para aquellos que tienen una enfermedad de la piel y no pueden permitirse las ofrendas habituales para hacer a la gente limpia”.
“Those are the regulations for anyone who has a contagious skin disease and who is poor and cannot afford the usual offerings, in order that he can be with people again.”
33 Entonces el Señor les dijo a Moisés y a Aarón:
Yahweh also said to Aaron and Moses/me,
34 “Cuando lleguen a Canaán, la tierra que yo les doy, si pongo un poco de moho en una casa y la contamino,
“I am about to give you Canaan land to belong to your people permanently. When you enter that land, there will be times when I cause/allow mildew to appear inside one of your houses.
35 el dueño de la casa debe venir y decirle al sacerdote: ‘Parece que mi casa tiene moho’.
If that happens, the owner of that house must go to the priest and tell him, ‘There is something in my house that looks like mildew.’
36 El sacerdote debe ordenar que se vacíe la casa antes de entrar a inspeccionar el moho, para que nada en la casa sea declarado impuro. Una vez hecho esto, el sacerdote debe entrar e inspeccionar la casa.
“Then the priest will say to him, ‘Take everything out of the house before I enter the house to examine the mildew. If you do not do that, I will declare that everything in the house is contaminated.’
37 Examinará la casa y verá si el moho de las paredes está hecho de hendiduras verdes o rojas que van bajo la superficie,
[After the owner takes everything outside of his house], the priest will go in and inspect the house. If the mildew has caused greenish or reddish spots/depressions on the walls that seem to be deeper than only on the surface of the walls,
38 el sacerdote saldrá a la puerta y sellará la casa durante siete días.
the priest will go outside the house and lock it up for seven days.
39 Al séptimo día el sacerdote volverá e inspeccionará la casa de nuevo. Si el moho se ha extendido en las paredes,
On the seventh day, he must go into the house and inspect it again. If the mildew on the walls has spread,
40 ordenará que las piedras afectadas se retiren y se eliminen en un área impura fuera de la ciudad.
the priest will tell someone to tear out and throw in the dump outside the town all the stones in the walls that have mildew on them.
41 Luego ordenará que todo el yeso del interior de la casa sea raspado y arrojado en una zona impura fuera de la ciudad.
Then the owner must scrape all the walls inside the house, and everything that is scraped off must be thrown into a dump outside the town.
42 Se deben usar diferentes piedras para reemplazar las que se han quitado, y se necesitará un nuevo yeso para volver a enlucir la casa.
Then the owner must get new/other stones to replace the ones that had mildew on them, and take new clay and plaster [to cover the stones in the walls of] the house.
43 Si el moho vuelve y afecta de nuevo a la casa, incluso después de haber quitado las piedras y de haber raspado y vuelto a enlucir la casa,
“If the mildew appears again in the house after that is done,
44 el sacerdote debe venir a inspeccionarla. Si ve que el moho se ha extendido en la casa, es un moho dañino; la casa está sucia.
the priest must go and examine the house again. If the mildew has spread inside the house, it will be clear that the mildew is the kind that destroys [houses], and no one will be allowed to live in it.
45 Debe ser demolida, y todas sus piedras, maderas y yeso deben ser tomadas y arrojadas en un área impura fuera de la ciudad.
It must be completely torn down—the stones, the timber and the plaster—and all those things must be thrown into a dump outside the town.
46 Cualquiera que entre en la casa durante cualquier tiempo que esté sellada será impuro hasta la noche.
“Anyone who goes into that house while it is locked up will not be allowed to be with other people until sunset of that day.
47 Quien duerma o coma en la casa debe lavar su ropa.
Anyone who sleeps in that house or eats in that house [during that time] must wash his clothes.
48 “Sin embargo, si cuando el sacerdote venga a inspeccionarla y encuentra que el moho no ha reaparecido después de que la casa haya sido tapizada, declarará la casa limpia porque el moho ha desaparecido.
“But when the priest comes to examine the house after it has been plastered, if the mildew has not spread, he shall declare that people may live in it, because the mildew is gone.
49 Traerá dos pájaros, madera de cedro, hilo carmesí e hisopo para limpiar la casa.
But before people are allowed to live in it, the priest must take two small birds and some cedar wood and some red/scarlet yarn and some hyssop.
50 Matará a uno de los pájaros sobre una vasija de arcilla llena de agua fresca.
He must kill one of the birds while [holding it] over a clay pot containing water from a spring.
51 Sumergirá el pájaro vivo, la madera de cedro, el hilo carmesí y el hisopo en la sangre del pájaro muerto y en el agua fresca, y rociará la casa siete veces.
Then he must take the cedar wood, the hyssop, the red/scarlet yarn, and the other/living bird, and dip them into the blood of the dead bird, and sprinkle some of that blood on the house seven times.
52 Limpiará la casa con la sangre del pájaro, el agua fresca, el pájaro vivo, la madera de cedro, el hisopo y el hilo carmesí.
By doing all those things he will cause the house to be acceptable to be lived in again.
53 Luego dejará que el pájaro vivo se vaya volando fuera de la ciudad. Así es como hará la casa bien, y estará limpia.
Then he must release the other bird and allow it to fly away. By doing that, he will [finish the ritual for] causing the house to be acceptable for people to live in it again.
54 “Estas son las regulaciones para cualquier enfermedad infecciosa de la piel, para una infección de costra,
“Those are the regulations for contagious diseases, for itching sores,
55 para el moho en la ropa y en una casa,
for mildew [DOU] on clothes or in a house,
56 así como para una hinchazón, sarpullido o mancha.
and for swellings, rashes, or bright spots [on sores],
57 Se utilizan para decidir si algo está limpio o sucio. Estas son las normas relativas a las enfermedades de la piel y el moho”.
to find out whether a person has a contagious disease or not, and whether people will still be permitted to touch their clothing or their house, or not.”
