Levítico 14
1 Yahvé habló a Moisés, diciendo,
And the Lord said to Moses,
2 “Esta será la ley del leproso el día de su purificación: Será llevado 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 del campamento. El sacerdote lo examinará. Si la plaga de la lepra se ha curado en el leproso,
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 entonces el sacerdote mandará que tomen para el que va a ser purificado dos aves vivas y limpias, madera de cedro, grana 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 El sacerdote les ordenará que maten una de las aves en una vasija de barro sobre agua corriente.
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 En cuanto a la ave viva, la tomará, así como la madera de cedro, la grana y el hisopo, y los mojará, junto con la ave viva, en la sangre de la ave matada sobre el agua corriente.
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 Rociará siete veces sobre el que ha de quedar limpio de la lepra, y lo declarará limpio, y dejará que el ave viva salga al campo.
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 “El que vaya a ser purificado lavará su ropa, se afeitará todo el pelo y se bañará en agua, y quedará limpio. Después entrará en el campamento, pero permanecerá siete días 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 Al séptimo día se afeitará todo el cabello de la cabeza, la barba y las cejas. Se afeitará todo el cabello. Lavará sus ropas y bañará su cuerpo con agua. Entonces 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 “Al octavo día tomará dos corderos machos sin defecto, una oveja de un año sin defecto, tres décimas de efa de harina fina para la ofrenda de harina, mezclada con aceite, y un tronco 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 lo purifique pondrá al hombre que va a ser purificado, y esas cosas, delante de Yahvé, a la puerta de la Tienda del Encuentro.
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 “El sacerdote tomará uno de los corderos machos y lo ofrecerá como ofrenda por el pecado, con el tronco de aceite, y los agitará como ofrenda mecida 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 Matará el cordero macho en el lugar donde se mata el sacrificio por el pecado y el holocausto, en el lugar del santuario; porque así como el sacrificio por el pecado es del sacerdote, también lo es el sacrificio por la culpa. Es algo muy sagrado.
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 El sacerdote tomará un poco de la sangre de la ofrenda por el pecado y la pondrá en la punta de la oreja derecha del que va a ser purificado, en el pulgar de su mano derecha y en 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 El sacerdote tomará un poco del tronco de aceite y lo echará en la palma de su mano izquierda.
And take some of the oil and put it in the hollow of his left hand;
16 El sacerdote mojará su dedo derecho en el aceite que tiene en su mano izquierda, y rociará un poco del aceite con su dedo siete veces 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 El sacerdote pondrá un poco del resto del aceite que tiene en su mano sobre la punta de la oreja derecha del que va a ser purificado, y sobre el pulgar de su mano derecha, y sobre el dedo gordo de su pie derecho, sobre la sangre de la ofrenda por la culpa.
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 tiene el sacerdote en su mano lo pondrá sobre la cabeza del que va a ser purificado, 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 “El sacerdote ofrecerá la ofrenda por el pecado y hará la expiación por el que ha de ser purificado a causa de su impureza. Después matará 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 entonces el sacerdote ofrecerá el holocausto y la ofrenda sobre el altar. 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 puede pagar tanto, tomará un cordero macho como ofrenda por la culpa, para hacer expiación por él, y la décima parte de un efa de harina fina mezclada con aceite para una ofrenda de harina, y un tronco 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 pichones de paloma, como pueda pagar; y una será una ofrenda por el pecado, y la otra un 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 traerá para su purificación al sacerdote, a la puerta de la Tienda del Encuentro, ante 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 de la ofrenda por la culpa y el tronco de aceite, y el sacerdote los agitará como ofrenda mecida 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 Matará el cordero de la ofrenda por la culpa. El sacerdote tomará un poco de la sangre de la ofrenda por la culpa y la pondrá en la punta de la oreja derecha del que va a ser purificado, en el pulgar de su mano derecha y en 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 El sacerdote verterá un poco del aceite en 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 el sacerdote rociará con su dedo derecho un poco del aceite que tiene en su mano izquierda siete veces ante Yahvé.
Shaking out drops of oil with his right finger before the Lord seven times:
28 Luego el sacerdote pondrá un poco del aceite que tiene en su mano sobre la punta de la oreja derecha del que va a ser purificado, y sobre el pulgar de su mano derecha, y sobre el dedo gordo de su pie derecho, en el lugar de la sangre de la ofrenda 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 está en la mano del sacerdote lo pondrá sobre la cabeza del que va a ser purificado, para hacer 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 Ofrecerá una de las tórtolas o de los pichones de paloma, lo que pueda pagar,
And he will make an offering of one of the doves or the young pigeons, such as he is able to get;
31 de la clase que pueda pagar, la una para la ofrenda por el pecado y la otra para el holocausto, con la ofrenda. El sacerdote hará la expiación por el que ha de ser purificado ante Yahvé”.
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 para el que tiene la plaga de la lepra y no puede pagar el sacrificio para su purificación.
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 a Aarón, diciendo:
And the Lord said to Moses and Aaron,
34 “Cuando hayáis entrado en la tierra de Canaán, que yo os doy en posesión, y pongo un moho que se extiende en una 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 entonces el dueño de la casa vendrá y avisará al sacerdote, diciendo: “Me parece que hay una especie de plaga en la 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 ordenará que se vacíe la casa, antes de que el sacerdote entre a examinar la plaga, para que todo lo que haya en la casa no quede impuro. Después el sacerdote entrará a inspeccionar 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 Examinará la plaga; y si la plaga está en las paredes de la casa con vetas huecas, verdosas o rojizas, y parece ser más profunda que 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 entonces el sacerdote saldrá de la casa a la puerta de la misma, 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 El sacerdote volverá al séptimo día y mirará. Si la peste se ha extendido por 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 entonces el sacerdote mandará que saquen las piedras en las que está la peste, y las arrojen a un lugar inmundo fuera de la ciudad.
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 que se raspe todo el interior de la casa. Echarán la argamasa que rasparon 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 Tomarán otras piedras y las pondrán en el lugar de esas piedras; y tomará otra argamasa y enlucirá 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 la peste vuelve a brotar en la casa después de haber sacado las piedras, y después de haber raspado la casa, y después de haberla enlucido,
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 entonces el sacerdote entrará y mirará; y he aquí que si la peste se ha extendido en la casa, es un moho destructor en la casa. Es impura.
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 Derribará la casa, sus piedras y su madera, y toda la argamasa de la casa. Los sacará 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 “Además, el que entre en la casa mientras está cerrada será impuro hasta la noche.
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 se acueste en la casa lavará su ropa, y el que coma en la casa lavará su ropa.
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 “Si el sacerdote entra y la examina, y he aquí que la peste no se ha propagado en la casa, después de haberla enlucido, entonces el sacerdote declarará limpia la casa, porque la peste está curada.
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 Para limpiar la casa tomará dos aves, madera de cedro, grana e hisopo.
And in order to make the house clean, let him take two birds and cedar-wood and red thread and hyssop;
50 Matará una de las aves en una vasija de barro sobre agua corriente.
And put one of the birds to death in a vessel of earth over flowing water;
51 Tomará la madera de cedro, el hisopo, la grana y el ave viva, y los mojará en la sangre del ave sacrificada y en el agua corriente, 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 Limpiará la casa con la sangre del ave y con el agua corriente, con el ave viva, con la madera de cedro, con el hisopo y con la grana;
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 pero dejará que el ave viva salga de la ciudad al campo abierto. Así expiará la casa, y 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 cualquier plaga de lepra, y para una picazón,
This is the law for all signs of the leper's disease and for skin diseases;
55 y para el moho destructor de un vestido, y para una casa,
And for signs of disease in clothing, or in a house;
56 y para una hinchazón, y para una costra, y para una mancha brillante;
And for a growth or a bad place or a bright mark on the skin;
57 para enseñar cuándo es impuro, y cuándo es limpio. Esta 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.
