Mambo ya Walawi 13
1 Bwana akawaambia Mose na Aroni,
The Lord told Moses and Aaron,
2 “Iwapo mtu yeyote atakuwa na uvimbe au upele au alama nyeupe juu ya ngozi yake ambayo yaweza kuwa ugonjwa wa ngozi wa kuambukiza, ni lazima aletwe kwa Aroni kuhani ama kwa wanawe, kuhani mmojawapo.
“Anyone who has a swelling, a rash, or a spot on the skin that may be an infectious skin disease must be taken to Aaron the priest or to one of his descendants.
3 Kuhani atachunguza hicho kidonda kilichopo juu ya ngozi yake, na kama nywele za mahali palipo na kidonda zimebadilika kuwa nyeupe, na ikiwa kidonda kimeingia ndani ya ngozi, basi ni ugonjwa wa ngozi wa kuambukiza, yaani ukoma. Kuhani atakapomchunguza, atamtangaza mtu huyo kuwa ni najisi kwa kawaida ya ibada.
The priest will inspect whatever is on the skin. If the hair there has turned white and if the issue seems to be more than something on the surface, it is a serious skin disease, and the priest who inspects it will declare the person unclean.
4 Kama alama juu ya ngozi yake ni nyeupe, lakini haionekani kuwa imeingia ndani zaidi ya ngozi, na nywele kwenye alama hiyo hazijageuka kuwa nyeupe, kuhani atamtenga mtu huyo mahali pa pekee kwa siku saba.
But if the spot is only a white discoloration and doesn't seem to be more than superficial, and if the hair on the spot has not turned white, the priest will place the person in isolation for seven days.
5 Siku ya saba, kuhani atamchunguza, na kama hakuona badiliko kwenye kile kidonda na hakijaenea juu ya ngozi, atamtenga kwa siku nyingine saba.
On the seventh day the priest will conduct another inspection, and if he discovers that the spot hasn't changed and hasn't spread on the skin, the priest must place the person in isolation for another seven days.
6 Siku ya saba kuhani atamchunguza tena, na kama kidonda kimepungua na hakijaenea juu ya ngozi, kuhani atamtangaza mtu huyo kuwa ni safi, ni upele tu. Ni lazima mtu huyo afue mavazi yake, naye atakuwa safi.
On the seventh day after this the priest will inspect it again. If the spot has faded and has not spread on the skin, the priest will declare the person clean since it was a rash. They must wash their clothes and will be clean.
7 Lakini ikiwa ule upele utaenea juu ya ngozi yake baada ya yeye kujionyesha kwa kuhani na kutangazwa kuwa safi, ni lazima aende tena kwa kuhani.
However, if the rash does spread after the person has been inspected by the priest and has been declared clean, the person must go back to be inspected again.
8 Kuhani atamchunguza, na kama upele umeenea kwenye ngozi, atamtangaza kuwa najisi, kwani ni ugonjwa wa ngozi wa kuambukiza, yaani ukoma.
If the priest discovers that the rash has spread, he must declare the person unclean because it is certainly a skin disease.
9 “Wakati mtu yeyote ana ugonjwa wa ngozi wa kuambukiza, ni lazima aletwe kwa kuhani.
Anyone who develops an infectious skin disease must be taken to the priest.
10 Kuhani atamchunguza na kama kuna uvimbe mweupe juu ya ngozi ambao umefanya nywele kuwa nyeupe, na kama kuna nyama mbichi ndani ya uvimbe,
The priest will inspect them, and if there is a white swelling on the skin and the hair there has turned white, and there is an open wound in the swelling,
11 ni ugonjwa sugu wa ngozi, na kuhani atamtangaza kuwa najisi. Hatamtenga tena kwa sababu ni najisi tayari.
it is a serious skin disease and the priest must declare them unclean. He doesn't need to place the person in isolation because they are unclean.
12 “Ikiwa ugonjwa utakuwa umeenea kwenye ngozi yake yote kwa kadiri kuhani atakavyoweza kuona, kwamba umeenea kwenye ngozi yote ya huyo mgonjwa kutoka kichwani mpaka wayo,
However, if the skin disease affects all their skin so that it covers their skin from head to toe, everywhere the priest can see,
13 kuhani atamchunguza, na kama ugonjwa umeenea mwili mzima, atamtangaza huyo mtu kuwa safi. Kwa kuwa mwili wote umekuwa mweupe, yeye ni safi.
the priest shall inspect them, and if the disease has covered their entire body, he will declare the person clean. As it has all turned white, they are clean.
14 Lakini itokeapo nyama mbichi kwenye ngozi yake, atakuwa najisi.
But if when someone's inspected an open wound is found, they will be unclean.
15 Kuhani atakapoiona hiyo nyama mbichi, atamtangaza mtu huyo kuwa najisi. Hiyo nyama mbichi ni najisi, ana ugonjwa wa kuambukiza.
When the priest discovers an open wound, he must declare the person unclean. The open wound is unclean; it is an infectious skin disease.
16 Hiyo nyama mbichi ikigeuka na kuwa nyeupe, ni lazima amwendee kuhani.
But if the open wound heals and becomes white, the person must go back to the priest.
17 Kuhani atamchunguza, na kama vidonda vimekuwa vyeupe, kuhani atamtangaza mgonjwa huyo kuwa safi; kisha atakuwa safi.
The priest will inspect them again, and if the wound has turned white, the priest is to declare the person clean; then they are clean.
18 “Wakati mtu ana jipu juu ya ngozi yake nalo likapona,
When a boil comes up on someone's skin and then it heals,
19 napo mahali palipokuwa na jipu pakatokea uvimbe mweupe, au alama yenye wekundu na weupe, ni lazima akajionyeshe kwa kuhani.
and a white swelling or a reddish-white spot appears in its place, they must show themselves to the priest.
20 Kuhani atapachunguza, na kama uvimbe umezama ndani ya ngozi, na nywele zimegeuka kuwa nyeupe, kuhani atamtangaza mtu huyo kuwa najisi. Ni ugonjwa wa ngozi wa kuambukiza uliojitokeza pale jipu lilipokuwa.
The priest shall inspect it, and if it seems to be more than something on the surface, and if the hair there has turned white, the priest shall declare him unclean. It is a serious skin disease that has infected the boil.
21 Lakini ikiwa wakati kuhani anapopachunguza pakawa hapana nywele nyeupe ndani yake, wala hakuna shimo bali pamepungua, basi kuhani atamtenga mtu huyo kwa siku saba.
However, if when the priest inspects it, it doesn't have white hair in it and doesn't seem to be more than superficial, and has faded, the priest is to place the person in isolation for seven days.
22 Kama unaenea kwenye ngozi, kuhani atamtangaza kuwa najisi; ni ugonjwa wa ngozi wa kuambukiza.
If then the spot has spread further on the skin, the priest will declare them unclean; it is a disease.
23 Lakini ikiwa ile alama haijabadilika wala kuenea, ni kovu tu kutokana na jipu, kuhani atamtangaza kuwa safi.
But if the spot stays the same and doesn't spread, it's just the scar from the boil, and the priest will declare them clean.
24 “Wakati mtu ameungua kwenye ngozi yake, pakatokea alama yenye wekundu na weupe, au alama nyeupe ikaonekana penye nyama mbichi pale palipoungua,
If someone has a burn on their skin and where it's raw changes into a reddish-white or white spot,
25 kuhani ataichunguza ile alama, na kama nywele zilizoko juu yake zimegeuka kuwa nyeupe, napo pametokea shimo, basi huo ni ugonjwa wa ngozi wa kuambukiza ambao umetokea juu ya jeraha la moto. Kuhani atamtangaza kuwa najisi; ni ugonjwa wa ngozi wa kuambukiza.
the priest must inspect it. If the hair in the spot has turned white and the spot seems to be more than something on the surface, it is a serious skin disease that has infected the burn, and the priest who inspects it will declare the person unclean. It is an infectious skin disease.
26 Lakini kama kuhani akichunguza na kuona kwamba hakuna nywele nyeupe kwenye alama ile, wala hakuna shimo napo pameanza kupungua, basi kuhani atamtenga kwa siku saba.
However, if when the priest inspects it, it doesn't have white hair in it and doesn't seem to be more than superficial, and has faded, the priest is to place the person in isolation for seven days.
27 Siku ya saba kuhani atamchunguza tena, na kama unaenea kwenye ngozi, kuhani atamtangaza kuwa najisi; ni ugonjwa wa ngozi wa kuambukiza.
On the seventh day the priest will inspect the person again. If then the spot has spread further on the skin, the priest will declare them unclean; it is a serious skin disease.
28 Lakini, kama alama ile haikubadilika na wala haijaenea kwenye ngozi, napo pamepungua, ni uvimbe kutokana na jeraha la moto, na kuhani atamtangaza kuwa safi; ni kovu tu kutokana na kuungua.
But if the spot stays the same and hasn't spread on the skin, but has faded, it's the swelling from the burn, and the priest will declare them clean because it's just the scar from the burn.
29 “Ikiwa mwanaume au mwanamke ana kidonda juu ya kichwa au juu ya kidevu,
If someone, man or woman, has a sore on the head or chin,
30 kuhani atakichunguza kile kidonda, na kama ataona kuwa kimeingia ndani, na nywele zilizoko juu yake ni njano na nyembamba, kuhani atamtangaza mtu huyo kuwa najisi, kwani ni upele; ni ugonjwa wa ngozi wa kuambukiza wa kichwa au kidevu.
the priest shall inspect it, and if it appears to be more than superficial and the hair in it has become pale and thin, the priest must declare them unclean; it is an infection producing scabs, a serious disease of the head or chin.
31 Lakini kama kuhani akichunguza aina hii ya kidonda, kionekane kuwa hakina shimo na hakuna nywele nyeusi juu yake, basi atamtenga mtu huyo kwa siku saba.
However, if the priest inspects the scabby infection and it doesn't seem to be more than superficial and has no pale hair in it, the priest is to place the person in isolation for seven days.
32 Siku ya saba kuhani atachunguza kidonda kile, na kama upele haujaenea, na hakuna nywele za manjano juu yake, wala hakuna shimo lolote,
On the seventh day the priest will inspect the person again and if the scabby infection has not spread and there is no pale hair in it, and it doesn't seem to be more than superficial,
33 mtu huyo ni lazima anyolewe, isipokuwa mahali palipo na ugonjwa, naye kuhani atamtenga kwa siku nyingine saba.
then the person must shave themselves except for the scaly area. The priest is to place the person in isolation for another seven days.
34 Siku ya saba kuhani atachunguza tena ule upele; ikiwa haujaenea kwenye ngozi na hakuna shimo mahali pale, kuhani atamtangaza kuwa safi. Lazima afue nguo zake, naye atakuwa safi.
On the seventh day the priest will inspect the scabby infection, and if it has not spread on the skin and doesn't seem to be more than superficial, the priest is to pronounce the person clean. They must wash their clothes and will be clean.
35 Lakini ikiwa upele utaenea juu ya ngozi baada ya kutangazwa kuwa safi,
However, if the scabby infection has spread on the skin after been declared clean,
36 kuhani atamchunguza, na kama upele umeenea kwenye ngozi, kuhani hana haja ya kutazama kama kuna nywele za manjano, mtu huyo ni najisi.
the priest must inspect them, and if the scabby infection has indeed spread on the skin, the priest doesn't need to check for pale hair; the person is unclean.
37 Hata hivyo, katika uchunguzi wake akiona hapajabadilika, na nywele nyeusi zimeota juu yake, upele umepona. Yeye si najisi, kuhani atamtangaza kuwa safi.
But if the priest sees that the scabby infection hasn't changed, and black hair has grown in it, then it has healed. The person is clean, and the priest must declare it.
38 “Ikiwa mwanaume au mwanamke ana alama nyeupe juu ya ngozi yake,
If someone, man or woman, has white spots on the skin,
39 kuhani atamchunguza, na kama alama hizo zina weupe uliofifia, ni vipele visivyo na madhara vilivyojitokeza kwenye ngozi; mtu huyo ni safi.
the priest shall inspect them, and if the spots appear a dull white, it's just a rash that has developed on the skin; the person is clean.
40 “Wakati mwanaume hana nywele naye ana upaa, yeye ni safi.
If a man loses his hair and goes bald, he is still clean.
41 Ikiwa hana nywele kwenye ngozi ya kichwa chake, na ana upaa tangu kwenye paji, ni safi.
If he has a receding hairline and he goes bald on his forehead, he is still clean.
42 Lakini kama ana kidonda chenye wekundu na weupe kwenye kichwa chake chenye upaa, au kwenye paji la uso, ni ugonjwa wa ngozi wa kuambukiza unaojitokeza kichwani au kwenye paji lake la uso.
But if a reddish-white sore appears on his bald head or forehead, it is an infectious disease developing.
43 Kuhani atamchunguza, na kama kidonda kilichovimba juu ya kichwa chake au kwenye paji la uso ni chekundu au cheupe kama ugonjwa wa ngozi wa kuambukiza,
The priest must inspect him, and if the swelling of the sore on his bald head or forehead looks reddish-white like a skin disease,
44 mtu huyo ni mgonjwa, na ni najisi. Kuhani atamtangaza kuwa najisi kwa sababu ya kidonda kwenye kichwa chake.
then he is has an infectious disease; he is unclean. The priest must declare him unclean because of the infection on his head.
45 “Mtu mwenye ugonjwa kama huo wa kuambukiza ni lazima avae nguo zilizoraruka, awachilie nywele zake bila kuzichana, afunike sehemu ya chini ya uso wake, na apige kelele, ‘Najisi! Najisi!’
Anyone who has such diseases must wear clothes that are torn and let their hair remain uncombed. They must cover their faces and shout out, ‘Unclean, unclean!’
46 Kwa muda wote atakaokuwa na ugonjwa huo wa kuambukiza atabaki kuwa najisi. Ni lazima aishi peke yake; ni lazima aishi nje ya kambi.
They remain unclean as long as the infection lasts. They have to live alone somewhere outside the camp.
47 “Kama vazi lolote lina maambukizo ya upele: likiwa ni vazi la sufu au kitani,
The following regulations relate to any material that becomes affected by mold, such as wool or linen clothing,
48 lolote lililofumwa au kusokotwa likiwa la kitani au la sufu, ngozi yoyote au chochote kilichotengenezwa kwa ngozi,
anything woven or knitted made from linen or wool, or anything made of leather:
49 tena kama maambukizo kwenye vazi, au ngozi, au lililofumwa au kusokotwa, au kifaa chochote cha ngozi, ni rangi ya kijani au nyekundu, huo ni upele unaoenea na ni lazima kuhani aonyeshwe.
If the spot is green or red on the material, whether it's leather, woven, or knitted or some other leather item, then it is infected with mold and must be shown to the priest.
50 Kuhani atachunguza upele huo na kukitenga kifaa hicho kwa siku saba.
The priest must inspect the mold and place the item in isolation for seven days.
51 Siku ya saba atakichunguza, na kama upele umeenea kwenye nguo, au kifaa kilichofumwa au kusokotwa, au ngozi, kwa vyovyote vile itumikavyo, ni upele uangamizao, kifaa hicho ni najisi.
On the seventh day the priest shall inspect it again, and if the patch of mold has spread in the material, whether it's leather, woven, or knitted or some other leather item, then it is a harmful mold; the article is unclean, whatever it is being used for.
52 Ni lazima aichome hiyo nguo, ikiwa ni ya sufu ama kitani iliyofumwa ama kusokotwa, ama chombo chochote cha ngozi chenye maambukizo, kwa kuwa ni upele unaoangamiza; chombo chote ni lazima kichomwe moto.
The priest is to burn it, whether the affected item is wool or linen or leather. Because the mold is harmful, the article must be burned.
53 “Lakini wakati kuhani atakapokichunguza na kuona kuwa ule upele haujaenea kwenye nguo iliyofumwa au kusokotwa, au vifaa vya ngozi,
However, if when the priest inspects it again it, the patch mold has not spread,
54 ataagiza kwamba kifaa chenye maambukizo kisafishwe. Kisha atakitenga kwa siku saba.
the priest shall order that the affected item is washed and placed in isolation for another seven days.
55 Baada ya kifaa chenye maambukizo kusafishwa, kuhani atakichunguza, na kama upele haujaonyesha badiliko lolote, hata kama haujaenea, ni najisi. Kichome kwa moto, iwe upele umeenea upande mmoja au mwingine.
Once it has been washed, the priest is to inspect again it, and if the item with the mold hasn't changed how it looks, it is unclean. Though the mold hasn't spread, you must burn the item, whether the mold damage is on the inside or the outside.
56 Kama kuhani ataona kuwa ile alama imefifia baada ya kuoshwa, basi atararua sehemu iliyo ambukizwa ya nguo au ngozi au kifaa kilichofumwa au kusokotwa.
If the priest inspects it and the patch of mold has faded after it has been washed, he is to cut out the affected part the material, whether it's leather, woven, or knitted.
57 Lakini kama ikijitokeza tena kwenye nguo au kitu kilichofumwa au kusokotwa, ama kifaa cha ngozi, kwamba ule upele unaenea, chochote chenye upele ni lazima kichomwe kwa moto.
However, if the mold comes back then it is spreading. In that case you must burn the affected item.
58 Nguo, au kitu kilichofumwa au kusokotwa, au kifaa chochote cha ngozi ambacho kimesafishwa na kuondolewa upele, ni lazima kioshwe tena, nacho kitakuwa safi.”
If the mold disappears after washing, then have it washed again, and it will be clean.
59 Haya ni masharti kuhusu maambukizo ya upele kwenye mavazi ya sufu au kitani, yaliyofumwa ama kusokotwa, ama kifaa chochote cha ngozi, kwa ajili ya kuvitangaza kuwa safi au najisi.
These are the regulations regarding what needs to be done when mold contaminates wool or linen material, whether woven or knitted, or any leather item, as to declaring it clean or unclean.”
