Levítico 13

1 Yahvé habló a Moisés y a Aarón, diciendo:

And the Lord said to Moses and Aaron,

2 “Cuando un hombre tenga una hinchazón en la piel de su cuerpo, o una costra, o una mancha brillante, y se convierta en la piel de su cuerpo en la plaga de la lepra, entonces será llevado al sacerdote Aarón o a uno de sus hijos, los sacerdotes.

If a man has on his skin a growth or a mark or a white place, and it becomes the disease of a leper, let him be taken to Aaron the priest, or to one of the priests, his sons;

3 El sacerdote examinará la plaga en la piel del cuerpo. Si el pelo de la plaga se ha vuelto blanco, y el aspecto de la plaga es más profundo que la piel del cuerpo, se trata de una plaga de lepra; entonces el sacerdote lo examinará y lo declarará impuro.

And if, when the priest sees the mark on his skin, the hair on the place is turned white and the mark seems to go deeper than the skin, it is the mark of a leper: and the priest, after looking at him, will say that he is unclean.

4 Si la mancha es blanca en la piel de su cuerpo, y su apariencia no es más profunda que la piel, y su pelo no se ha vuelto blanco, entonces el sacerdote aislará a la persona infectada durante siete días.

But if the mark on his skin is white, and does not seem to go deeper than the skin, and the hair on it is not turned white, then the priest will keep him shut up for seven days;

5 El sacerdote lo examinará al séptimo día. Si en sus ojos la plaga está detenida y la plaga no se ha extendido en la piel, entonces el sacerdote lo aislará por siete días más.

And the priest is to see him on the seventh day; and if, in his opinion, the place on his skin has not become worse and is not increased in size, then the priest will keep him shut up for seven days more:

6 El sacerdote lo examinará de nuevo al séptimo día. Si la peste ha desaparecido y no se ha extendido por la piel, el sacerdote lo declarará limpio. Se trata de una costra. Se lavará la ropa y quedará limpio.

And the priest is to see him again on the seventh day; and if the mark is less bright and is not increased on his skin, then let the priest say that he is clean: it is only a skin-mark, and after his clothing has been washed he will be clean.

7 Pero si la costra se extiende en la piel después de haberse presentado al sacerdote para su purificación, se presentará de nuevo al sacerdote.

But if the size of the mark on his skin is increased after he has been seen by the priest, let him go to the priest again:

8 El sacerdote lo examinará, y si la costra se ha extendido por la piel, el sacerdote lo declarará impuro. Es lepra.

And if, after looking at him, he sees that the mark is increased in his skin, let the priest say that he is unclean; he is a leper.

9 “Cuando la plaga de la lepra esté en un hombre, será llevado al sacerdote;

When the disease of a leper is seen on a man, let him be taken to the priest;

10 y el sacerdote lo examinará. Si hay una hinchazón blanca en la piel, que ha vuelto blanco el cabello, y hay carne viva en la hinchazón,

And if the priest sees that there is a white growth on the skin, and the hair is turned white, and there is diseased flesh in the growth,

11 se trata de una lepra crónica en la piel de su cuerpo, y el sacerdote lo declarará impuro. No lo aislará, porque ya está impuro.

It is an old disease in the skin of his flesh, and the priest will say that he is unclean; he will not have to be shut up, for he is clearly unclean.

12 “Si la lepra brota por toda la piel, y la lepra cubre toda la piel del infectado, desde la cabeza hasta los pies, según lo que le parezca al sacerdote,

And if the disease comes out all over his skin, from his head to his feet, as far as the priest is able to see,

13 entonces el sacerdote lo examinará. Si la lepra ha cubierto toda su carne, lo declarará limpio de la plaga. Todo se ha vuelto blanco: está limpio.

And if the priest sees that all his flesh is covered with the leper's disease, the priest will say that he is clean: it is all turned white, he is clean.

14 Pero cuando la carne viva aparezca en él, será impuro.

But whenever diseased flesh is seen on him, he will be unclean.

15 El sacerdote examinará la carne viva y lo declarará impuro: la carne viva es impura. Es lepra.

And when the priest sees the diseased flesh he will say that he is unclean; the diseased flesh is unclean, he is a leper.

16 O si la carne viva se vuelve y se convierte en blanca, entonces vendrá al sacerdote.

Or if the diseased flesh is turned again and changed to white then he is to come to the priest,

17 El sacerdote lo examinará. Si la llaga se ha vuelto blanca, el sacerdote lo declarará limpio de la llaga. Está limpio.

And the priest will see him: and if the place is turned white, then the priest will say that he is free from the disease.

18 “Cuando el cuerpo tenga un forúnculo en la piel, y se haya curado,

And if a bad place has come out on the skin and is well again,

19 y en el lugar del forúnculo haya una hinchazón blanca, o una mancha brillante, de color blanco rojizo, entonces se mostrará al sacerdote.

And on the same place there is a white growth of a bright mark, red and white, then let the priest see it;

20 El sacerdote lo examinará. Si su aspecto es más profundo que la piel, y su pelo se ha vuelto blanco, el sacerdote lo declarará impuro. Es la plaga de la lepra. Ha brotado en el forúnculo.

And after looking at it, if it seems to go deeper than the skin, and the hair on it is turned white, then the priest will say that the man is unclean: it is the leper's disease, it has come out in the bad place.

21 Pero si el sacerdote lo examina, y he aquí que no hay pelos blancos en él, y no está más profundo que la piel, sino que es tenue, entonces el sacerdote lo aislará siete días.

But if, after looking at it, he sees that there are no white hairs on it, and it is not deeper than the skin, and it is not very bright, then let the priest keep him shut up for seven days:

22 Si se extiende en la piel, el sacerdote lo declarará impuro. Es una plaga.

And if it is increasing on the skin, the priest will say that he is unclean: it is a disease.

23 Pero si la mancha brillante permanece en su lugar y no se ha extendido, es la cicatriz del forúnculo; y el sacerdote lo declarará limpio.

But if the bright mark keeps in the same place and gets no greater, it is the mark of the old wound, and the priest will say that he is clean.

24 “O cuando el cuerpo tenga una quemadura de fuego en su piel, y la carne viva de la quemadura se convierta en una mancha brillante, de color blanco rojizo o blanco,

Or if there is a burn on the skin of the flesh, and if the diseased flesh in the burn becomes a bright place, red and white or white,

25 entonces el sacerdote lo examinará; y he aquí que si el pelo de la mancha brillante se ha vuelto blanco, y su aspecto es más profundo que la piel, es lepra. Ha brotado en el quemado, y el sacerdote lo declarará impuro. Es la plaga de la lepra.

The priest is to see it: and if the hair on the bright place is turned white and it seems to go deeper than the skin, he is a leper: it has come out in the burn, and the priest will say that he is unclean: it is the leper's disease.

26 Pero si el sacerdote lo examina y ve que no hay pelo blanco en la mancha, y que no es más profunda que la piel, sino que se ha desvanecido, entonces el sacerdote lo aislará siete días.

But if, after looking at it, the priest sees that there is no white hair on the bright place, and it is not deeper than the skin, and is not very bright, then let the priest keep him shut up for seven days:

27 El sacerdote lo examinará al séptimo día. Si se ha extendido en la piel, el sacerdote lo declarará impuro. Es la plaga de la lepra.

And the priest is to see him again on the seventh day; if it is increased in the skin, then the priest will say that he is unclean: it is the leper's disease.

28 Si la mancha brillante permanece en su lugar y no se ha extendido en la piel, sino que se ha desvanecido, es la hinchazón de la quemadura, y el sacerdote lo declarará limpio, porque es la cicatriz de la quemadura.

And if the bright place keeps the same size and gets no greater on the skin, but is less bright, it is the effect of the burn, and the priest will say that he is clean: it is the mark of the burn.

29 “Cuando un hombre o una mujer tenga una plaga en la cabeza o en la barba,

And when a man or a woman has a disease on the head, or in the hair of the chin,

30 entonces el sacerdote examinará la plaga; y si su aspecto es más profundo que la piel, y el pelo en ella es amarillo y fino, entonces el sacerdote lo declarará impuro. Se trata de una picazón. Es lepra de la cabeza o de la barba.

Then the priest is to see the diseased place: and if it seems to go deeper than the skin, and if there is thin yellow hair in it, then the priest will say that he is unclean: he has the mark of the leper's disease on his head or in the hair of his chin.

31 Si el sacerdote examina la plaga de prurito, y he aquí que su aspecto no es más profundo que la piel, y no hay pelo negro en ella, entonces el sacerdote aislará a la persona infectada de prurito durante siete días.

And after looking at the diseased place, if it does not seem to go deeper than the skin, and there is no black hair in it, then the priest will have him shut up for seven days:

32 Al séptimo día el sacerdote examinará la plaga; y he aquí que si la picazón no se ha extendido, y no hay pelo amarillo en ella, y la apariencia de la picazón no es más profunda que la piel,

And on the seventh day the priest will see the place: and if it is not increased, and there is no yellow hair in it, and it does not seem to go deeper than the skin,

33 entonces será afeitado, pero no afeitará la picazón. Entonces el sacerdote aislará al que tiene la picazón siete días más.

Then his hair is to be cut off, but not on the diseased place, and he is to be shut up for seven days more:

34 Al séptimo día, el sacerdote examinará el prurito; y si el prurito no se ha extendido en la piel, y su apariencia no es más profunda que la piel, entonces el sacerdote lo declarará limpio. Se lavará la ropa y quedará limpio.

And on the seventh day the priest will see the place: and if it is not increased, and does not seem to go deeper than the skin, the priest will say that he is clean: and after his clothing has been washed he will be clean.

35 Pero si la picazón se extiende en la piel después de su limpieza,

But if the disease in his skin becomes worse after he has been made clean,

36 entonces el sacerdote lo examinará; y si la picazón se ha extendido en la piel, el sacerdote no buscará el pelo amarillo; es impuro.

Then the priest is to see him: and if the mark is increased, the priest, without looking for the yellow hair, will say that he is unclean.

37 Pero si en sus ojos se ha detenido la picazón y le ha crecido pelo negro, entonces la picazón está curada. Está limpio. El sacerdote lo declarará limpio.

But if, in his opinion, the growth is stopped, and black hair has come up on it, the disease has gone; he is clean and the priest will say that he is clean.

38 “Cuando un hombre o una mujer tenga manchas brillantes en la piel del cuerpo, incluso manchas blancas brillantes,

And if a man or a woman has bright marks on the skin of their flesh, that is, bright white marks,

39 entonces el sacerdote los examinará. He aquí, si las manchas brillantes en la piel de su cuerpo son de color blanco opaco, es una erupción inofensiva. Ha brotado en la piel. Está limpio.

Then the priest is to see them: and if the white marks on their skin are not very bright, it is a skin disease which has come out on the skin; he is clean.

40 “Si a un hombre se le cae el pelo de la cabeza, es calvo. Está limpio.

And if a man's hair has come out and he has no hair, still he is clean.

41 Si se le ha caído el pelo de la parte delantera de la cabeza, es calvo de frente. Está limpio.

And if the hair has gone from the front part of his head, so that he has no hair there, still he is clean.

42 Pero si en la cabeza calva o en la frente calva hay una plaga de color blanco rojizo, es lepra que brota en su cabeza calva o en su frente calva.

But if, on his head or on his brow, where he has no hair, there is a red and white place, it is the disease of the leper coming out on his head or on his brow.

43 Entonces el sacerdote lo examinará. He aquí, si la hinchazón de la plaga es de color blanco rojizo en su cabeza calva o en su frente calva, como la apariencia de la lepra en la piel del cuerpo,

Then if the priest sees that the growth of the disease has become red and white on his head or on his brow where there is no hair, like the mark in the skin of a leper;

44 es un hombre leproso. Es impuro. El sacerdote lo declarará impuro. Su plaga está en su cabeza.

He is a leper and unclean; the priest is to say that he is most certainly unclean: the disease is in his head.

45 “El leproso en el que se encuentre la plaga se vestirá con ropas rasgadas, y el cabello de su cabeza colgará suelto. Se cubrirá el labio superior y gritará: “¡Inmundo! Impuro!

And the leper who has the disease on him is to go about with signs of grief, with his hair loose and his mouth covered, crying, Unclean, unclean.

46 Todo el tiempo que la plaga esté en él, será impuro. Es impuro. Vivirá solo. Su morada estará fuera del campamento.

While the disease is on him, he will be unclean. He is unclean: let him keep by himself, living outside the tent-circle.

47 “También el vestido en el que esté la plaga de la lepra, sea de lana o de lino;

And any clothing of wool or of linen in which is the mark of the disease;

48 sea de urdimbre o de trama; de lino o de lana; sea de cuero o de cualquier cosa de cuero;

If it is in the threads of the linen or of the wool, or in leather, or in anything made of skin;

49 si la plaga es verdosa o rojiza en el vestido, o en el cuero, o en la urdimbre, o en la trama, o en cualquier cosa de cuero, es la plaga de la lepra, y será mostrada al sacerdote.

If there are red or green marks on the clothing, or on the leather, or in the threads of the cloth, or in anything made of skin, it is the leper's disease: let the priest see it.

50 El sacerdote examinará la plaga y la aislará durante siete días.

And after it has been seen by the priest, the thing which is so marked is to be shut up for seven days:

51 Al séptimo día examinará la plaga. Si la plaga se ha extendido en el vestido, ya sea en la urdimbre o en la trama, o en la piel, cualquiera que sea el uso que se le dé a la piel, la plaga es un moho destructor. Es impuro.

And he is to see the mark on the seventh day; if the mark is increased in the clothing, or in the threads of the material, or in the leather, whatever the leather is used for, it is the disease biting into it: it is unclean.

52 Se quemará el vestido, ya sea en la urdimbre o en la trama, en la lana o en el lino, o en cualquier cosa de cuero, en el que esté la plaga, porque es un moho destructor. Se quemará en el fuego.

And the clothing, or the wool or linen material, or anything of leather in which is the disease, is to be burned: for the disease is biting into it; let it be burned in the fire.

53 “Si el sacerdote lo examina, y he aquí que la peste no se ha propagado en el vestido, ni en la urdimbre, ni en la trama, ni en nada de piel;

And if the priest sees that the mark is not increased in the clothing or in any part of the material or in the leather,

54 entonces el sacerdote ordenará que laven el objeto en que está la peste, y lo aislará siete días más.

Then the priest will give orders for the thing on which the mark is, to be washed, and to be shut up for seven days more:

55 Entonces el sacerdote lo examinará, después de lavar la plaga; y he aquí que si la plaga no ha cambiado de color, y la plaga no se ha propagado, es impuro; lo quemarás en el fuego. Es una mancha enmohecida, ya sea que la desnudez esté por dentro o por fuera.

And if, after the mark has been washed, the priest sees that the colour of it is not changed and it is not increased, it is to be burned in the fire: the disease is working in it, though the damage may be inside or outside.

56 Si el sacerdote mira, y he aquí que la plaga se ha desvanecido después de haberla lavado, entonces la arrancará del vestido, o de la piel, o de la urdimbre, o de la trama;

And if the priest sees that the mark is less bright after the washing, then let him have it cut out of the clothing or the leather or from the threads of the material:

57 y si aparece de nuevo en el vestido, ya sea en la urdimbre, en la trama o en cualquier cosa de la piel, se está extendiendo. Quemarás con fuego lo que contenga la plaga.

And if the mark is still seen in the clothing or in the threads of the material or in the leather, it is the disease coming out: the thing in which the disease is will have to be burned with fire.

58 El vestido, ya sea en la urdimbre o en la trama, o en cualquier cosa de piel que sea, que lavarás, si la peste se ha ido de ellos, se lavará por segunda vez, y quedará limpio.”

And the material of the clothing, or anything of skin, which has been washed, if the mark has gone out of it, let it be washed a second time and it will be clean.

59 Esta es la ley de la plaga del moho en una prenda de lana o de lino, ya sea en la urdimbre o en la trama, o en cualquier cosa de piel, para declararla limpia o para declararla impura.

This is the law about the leper's disease in the thread of wool or linen material, in clothing or in anything of skin, saying how it is to be judged clean or unclean.
