Mambo ya Walawi 13
1 Bwana akawaambia Mose na Aroni,
The LORD spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,
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.
“When a man shall have a swelling in his body’s skin, or a scab, or a bright spot, and it becomes in the skin of his body the plague of leprosy, then he shall be brought to Aaron the priest or to one of his sons, the priests.
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 shall examine the plague in the skin of the body. If the hair in the plague has turned white, and the appearance of the plague is deeper than the body’s skin, it is the plague of leprosy; so the priest shall examine him and pronounce him 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.
If the bright spot is white in the skin of his body, and its appearance isn’t deeper than the skin, and its hair hasn’t turned white, then the priest shall isolate the infected person 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.
The priest shall examine him on the seventh day. Behold, if in his eyes the plague is arrested and the plague hasn’t spread in the skin, then the priest shall isolate him for seven more 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.
The priest shall examine him again on the seventh day. Behold, if the plague has faded and the plague hasn’t spread in the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him clean. It is a scab. He shall wash his clothes, and 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.
But if the scab spreads on the skin after he has shown himself to the priest for his cleansing, he shall show himself to the priest again.
8 Kuhani atamchunguza, na kama upele umeenea kwenye ngozi, atamtangaza kuwa najisi, kwani ni ugonjwa wa ngozi wa kuambukiza, yaani ukoma.
The priest shall examine him; and behold, if the scab has spread on the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean. It is leprosy.
9 “Wakati mtu yeyote ana ugonjwa wa ngozi wa kuambukiza, ni lazima aletwe kwa kuhani.
“When the plague of leprosy is in a man, then he shall be brought 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,
and the priest shall examine him. Behold, if there is a white swelling in the skin, and it has turned the hair white, and there is raw flesh in the swelling,
11 ni ugonjwa sugu wa ngozi, na kuhani atamtangaza kuwa najisi. Hatamtenga tena kwa sababu ni najisi tayari.
it is a chronic leprosy in the skin of his body, and the priest shall pronounce him unclean. He shall not isolate him, for he is already 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,
“If the leprosy breaks out all over the skin, and the leprosy covers all the skin of the infected person from his head even to his feet, as far as it appears to the priest,
13 kuhani atamchunguza, na kama ugonjwa umeenea mwili mzima, atamtangaza huyo mtu kuwa safi. Kwa kuwa mwili wote umekuwa mweupe, yeye ni safi.
then the priest shall examine him. Behold, if the leprosy has covered all his flesh, he shall pronounce him clean of the plague. It has all turned white: he is clean.
14 Lakini itokeapo nyama mbichi kwenye ngozi yake, atakuwa najisi.
But whenever raw flesh appears in him, he shall be unclean.
15 Kuhani atakapoiona hiyo nyama mbichi, atamtangaza mtu huyo kuwa najisi. Hiyo nyama mbichi ni najisi, ana ugonjwa wa kuambukiza.
The priest shall examine the raw flesh, and pronounce him unclean: the raw flesh is unclean. It is leprosy.
16 Hiyo nyama mbichi ikigeuka na kuwa nyeupe, ni lazima amwendee kuhani.
Or if the raw flesh turns again, and is changed to white, then he shall come to the priest.
17 Kuhani atamchunguza, na kama vidonda vimekuwa vyeupe, kuhani atamtangaza mgonjwa huyo kuwa safi; kisha atakuwa safi.
The priest shall examine him. Behold, if the plague has turned white, then the priest shall pronounce him clean of the plague. He is clean.
18 “Wakati mtu ana jipu juu ya ngozi yake nalo likapona,
“When the body has a boil on its skin, and it has healed,
19 napo mahali palipokuwa na jipu pakatokea uvimbe mweupe, au alama yenye wekundu na weupe, ni lazima akajionyeshe kwa kuhani.
and in the place of the boil there is a white swelling, or a bright spot, reddish-white, then it shall be shown 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 examine it. Behold, if its appearance is deeper than the skin, and its hair has turned white, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean. It is the plague of leprosy. It has broken out in 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.
But if the priest examines it, and behold, there are no white hairs in it, and it isn’t deeper than the skin, but is dim, then the priest shall isolate him seven days.
22 Kama unaenea kwenye ngozi, kuhani atamtangaza kuwa najisi; ni ugonjwa wa ngozi wa kuambukiza.
If it spreads in the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean. It is a plague.
23 Lakini ikiwa ile alama haijabadilika wala kuenea, ni kovu tu kutokana na jipu, kuhani atamtangaza kuwa safi.
But if the bright spot stays in its place, and hasn’t spread, it is the scar from the boil; and the priest shall pronounce him clean.
24 “Wakati mtu ameungua kwenye ngozi yake, pakatokea alama yenye wekundu na weupe, au alama nyeupe ikaonekana penye nyama mbichi pale palipoungua,
“Or when the body has a burn from fire on its skin, and the raw flesh of the burn becomes a bright spot, reddish-white, or white,
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.
then the priest shall examine it; and behold, if the hair in the bright spot has turned white, and its appearance is deeper than the skin, it is leprosy. It has broken out in the burning, and the priest shall pronounce him unclean. It is the plague of leprosy.
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.
But if the priest examines it, and behold, there is no white hair in the bright spot, and it isn’t deeper than the skin, but has faded, then the priest shall isolate him seven days.
27 Siku ya saba kuhani atamchunguza tena, na kama unaenea kwenye ngozi, kuhani atamtangaza kuwa najisi; ni ugonjwa wa ngozi wa kuambukiza.
The priest shall examine him on the seventh day. If it has spread in the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean. It is the plague of leprosy.
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.
If the bright spot stays in its place, and hasn’t spread in the skin, but is faded, it is the swelling from the burn, and the priest shall pronounce him clean, for it is the scar from the burn.
29 “Ikiwa mwanaume au mwanamke ana kidonda juu ya kichwa au juu ya kidevu,
“When a man or woman has a plague on the head or on the beard,
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.
then the priest shall examine the plague; and behold, if its appearance is deeper than the skin, and the hair in it is yellow and thin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean. It is an itch. It is leprosy of the head or of the beard.
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.
If the priest examines the plague of itching, and behold, its appearance isn’t deeper than the skin, and there is no black hair in it, then the priest shall isolate the person infected with itching 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 shall examine the plague; and behold, if the itch hasn’t spread, and there is no yellow hair in it, and the appearance of the itch isn’t deeper than the skin,
33 mtu huyo ni lazima anyolewe, isipokuwa mahali palipo na ugonjwa, naye kuhani atamtenga kwa siku nyingine saba.
then he shall be shaved, but he shall not shave the itch. Then the priest shall isolate the one who has the itch seven more 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 shall examine the itch; and behold, if the itch hasn’t spread in the skin, and its appearance isn’t deeper than the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him clean. He shall wash his clothes and be clean.
35 Lakini ikiwa upele utaenea juu ya ngozi baada ya kutangazwa kuwa safi,
But if the itch spreads in the skin after his cleansing,
36 kuhani atamchunguza, na kama upele umeenea kwenye ngozi, kuhani hana haja ya kutazama kama kuna nywele za manjano, mtu huyo ni najisi.
then the priest shall examine him; and behold, if the itch has spread in the skin, the priest shall not look for the yellow hair; he 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 in his eyes the itch is arrested and black hair has grown in it, then the itch is healed. He is clean. The priest shall pronounce him clean.
38 “Ikiwa mwanaume au mwanamke ana alama nyeupe juu ya ngozi yake,
“When a man or a woman has bright spots in the skin of the body, even white bright spots,
39 kuhani atamchunguza, na kama alama hizo zina weupe uliofifia, ni vipele visivyo na madhara vilivyojitokeza kwenye ngozi; mtu huyo ni safi.
then the priest shall examine them. Behold, if the bright spots on the skin of their body are a dull white, it is a harmless rash. It has broken out in the skin. He is clean.
40 “Wakati mwanaume hana nywele naye ana upaa, yeye ni safi.
“If a man’s hair has fallen from his head, he is bald. He is clean.
41 Ikiwa hana nywele kwenye ngozi ya kichwa chake, na ana upaa tangu kwenye paji, ni safi.
If his hair has fallen off from the front part of his head, his forehead is bald. He is 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 plague is in the bald head or the bald forehead, it is leprosy breaking out in his bald head or his bald forehead.
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,
Then the priest shall examine him. Behold, if the swelling of the plague is reddish-white in his bald head, or in his bald forehead, like the appearance of leprosy in the skin of the body,
44 mtu huyo ni mgonjwa, na ni najisi. Kuhani atamtangaza kuwa najisi kwa sababu ya kidonda kwenye kichwa chake.
he is a leprous man. He is unclean. The priest shall surely pronounce him unclean. His plague is 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!’
“The leper in whom the plague is shall wear torn clothes, and the hair of his head shall hang loose. He shall cover his upper lip, and shall cry, ‘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.
All the days in which the plague is in him he shall be unclean. He is unclean. He shall dwell alone. His dwelling shall be outside of the camp.
47 “Kama vazi lolote lina maambukizo ya upele: likiwa ni vazi la sufu au kitani,
“The garment also that the plague of leprosy is in, whether it is a woollen garment, or a linen garment;
48 lolote lililofumwa au kusokotwa likiwa la kitani au la sufu, ngozi yoyote au chochote kilichotengenezwa kwa ngozi,
whether it is in warp or woof; of linen or of wool; whether in leather, or in 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 plague is greenish or reddish in the garment, or in the leather, or in the warp, or in the woof, or in anything made of leather; it is the plague of leprosy, and shall be shown to the priest.
50 Kuhani atachunguza upele huo na kukitenga kifaa hicho kwa siku saba.
The priest shall examine the plague, and isolate the plague 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.
He shall examine the plague on the seventh day. If the plague has spread in the garment, either in the warp, or in the woof, or in the skin, whatever use the skin is used for, the plague is a destructive mildew. It is unclean.
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.
He shall burn the garment, whether the warp or the woof, in wool or in linen, or anything of leather, in which the plague is, for it is a destructive mildew. It shall be burnt in the fire.
53 “Lakini wakati kuhani atakapokichunguza na kuona kuwa ule upele haujaenea kwenye nguo iliyofumwa au kusokotwa, au vifaa vya ngozi,
“If the priest examines it, and behold, the plague hasn’t spread in the garment, either in the warp, or in the woof, or in anything of skin;
54 ataagiza kwamba kifaa chenye maambukizo kisafishwe. Kisha atakitenga kwa siku saba.
then the priest shall command that they wash the thing that the plague is in, and he shall isolate it seven more 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.
Then the priest shall examine it, after the plague is washed; and behold, if the plague hasn’t changed its colour, and the plague hasn’t spread, it is unclean; you shall burn it in the fire. It is a mildewed spot, whether the bareness is inside or 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 looks, and behold, the plague has faded after it is washed, then he shall tear it out of the garment, or out of the skin, or out of the warp, or out of the woof;
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.
and if it appears again in the garment, either in the warp, or in the woof, or in anything of skin, it is spreading. You shall burn what the plague is in with fire.
58 Nguo, au kitu kilichofumwa au kusokotwa, au kifaa chochote cha ngozi ambacho kimesafishwa na kuondolewa upele, ni lazima kioshwe tena, nacho kitakuwa safi.”
The garment, either the warp, or the woof, or whatever thing of skin it is, which you shall wash, if the plague has departed from them, then it shall be washed the second time, 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.
This is the law of the plague of mildew in a garment of wool or linen, either in the warp, or the woof, or in anything of skin, to pronounce it clean, or to pronounce it unclean.
