Leviticus 13
1 Yahweh said this to Aaron and Moses/me:
El Señor le dijo a Moisés y a Aarón:
2 “When someone has on his skin a swelling or a rash or a shiny/bright spot that may become (contagious/a dreaded skin disease), he must be brought to Aaron or to one of his sons who are also priests.
“Cualquiera que tenga una hinchazón, un sarpullido o una mancha en la piel que pueda ser una enfermedad infecciosa de la piel debe ser llevado a Aarón el sacerdote o a uno de sus descendientes.
3 The priest must examine that part of the person’s skin. If the hair in that area has become white and it appears that the sore is deeper than just on the skin, it is a contagious skin disease. When the priest sees that, he must declare that the person must stay away from other people [MTY].
El sacerdote inspeccionará lo que sea que esté en la piel. Si el pelo se ha vuelto blanco y si el problema parece ser más que algo en la superficie, es una enfermedad grave de la piel, y el sacerdote que lo inspeccione declarará a la persona impura.
4 If the spot on the person’s skin is white but it does not appear that the sore is deeper than just on the skin, the priest must tell him to stay away from other people for seven days.
“Pero si la mancha es sólo una decoloración blanca y no parece ser más que superficial, y si el pelo de la mancha no se ha vuelto blanco, el sacerdote pondrá a la persona en aislamiento durante siete días.
5 Then the priest must examine the person again. If the priest sees that the sore has not changed and has not spread, he must tell the person to stay away from people for seven more days.
Al séptimo día el sacerdote realizará otra inspección, y si descubre que la mancha no ha cambiado y no se ha extendido sobre la piel, el sacerdote debe poner a la persona en aislamiento durante otros siete días.
6 Then the priest must examine him again. If the sore has faded and has not spread, the priest will allow him to be with other people again; it is only a rash. After the person washes his clothes, he will be allowed to be with other people again.
Al séptimo día después de esto el sacerdote lo inspeccionará de nuevo. Si la mancha se ha desvanecido y no se ha extendido sobre la piel, el sacerdote declarará a la persona limpia ya que era un sarpullido. Deben lavar su ropa y estarán limpios.
7 But if the sore spreads after the priest has examined him, he must go to the priest again.
Sin embargo, si el sarpullido se extiende después de que la persona ha sido inspeccionada por el sacerdote y ha sido declarada limpia, la persona debe volver para ser inspeccionada de nuevo.
8 The priest will examine him; and if the sore has spread to more of the skin, it is a contagious skin disease, and the priest will declare that he must stay away from other people.
Si el sacerdote descubre que el sarpullido se ha propagado, debe declarar a la persona impura porque es ciertamente una enfermedad de la piel.
9 When anyone has a contagious skin disease, he must be brought to the priest.
“Cualquier persona que desarrolle una enfermedad infecciosa de la piel debe ser llevada al sacerdote.
10 The priest must examine him. And if there is a white swelling in the skin that has caused the hair in that swelling to become white, and if the flesh in that area is painful/sensitive,
El sacerdote los inspeccionará, y si hay una hinchazón blanca en la piel y el pelo se ha vuelto blanco, y hay una herida abierta en la hinchazón,
11 it is a permanent skin disease, and the priest will declare that he must stay away from other people. The priest does not need to tell that person that he must avoid other people, because other people already are wanting to stay away from him.
es una enfermedad grave de la piel y el sacerdote debe declararlos inmundos. No necesita poner a la persona en aislamiento porque sea impura.
12 ‘If the disease spreads all over someone’s body, and the priest examines that person and sees that it is covering his skin from his head to his feet,
“Sin embargo, si la enfermedad de la piel afecta a toda su piel de manera que cubre su piel de la cabeza a los pies, en todos los lugares que el sacerdote pueda ver,
13 and it has caused all his skin to become white [which will indicate that the disease has ended], the priest will declare that the person does not have to stay away from other people.
el sacerdote los inspeccionará, y si la enfermedad ha cubierto todo su cuerpo, declarará a la persona limpia. Como todo se ha vuelto blanco, están limpios.
14 But if the person has open sores and they are very painful/sensitive, he has a contagious skin disease,
Pero si al inspeccionar a alguien se encuentra una herida abierta, serán inmundos.
15 and when the priest sees that, he will declare that the person must stay away from other people.
Cuando el sacerdote descubre una herida abierta, debe declarar a la persona impura. La herida abierta es impura; es una enfermedad infecciosa de la piel.
16 But if the person’s flesh changes and becomes white, he must go to the priest again.
Pero si la herida abierta se cura y se vuelve blanca, la persona debe volver al sacerdote.
17 The priest must examine him again; and if the sores have become white, the priest will declare that the person who had been infected is now permitted to be with other people again.
El sacerdote los inspeccionará de nuevo, y si la herida se ha vuelto blanca, el sacerdote debe declarar a la persona limpia; entonces están limpios.
18 ‘Then someone has a boil on his skin and it has healed,
“Cuando un forúnculo aparece en la piel de una persona y luego se cura,
19 but in the place where the boil was a white swelling or a bright/shiny spot appears, he must go to the priest.
y en su lugar aparece una hinchazón blanca o una mancha blanca-rojiza, debe mostrarse al sacerdote.
20 The priest must examine it. And if it seems to be deeper than just on the skin, and if the hair in that spot has become white, it is a contagious skin disease that has appeared where the boil had been. And the priest will declare that the person must stay away from other people.
El sacerdote lo inspeccionará, y si parece ser más que algo en la superficie, y si el pelo allí se ha vuelto blanco, el sacerdote lo declarará impuro. Es una enfermedad grave de la piel que ha infectado el furúnculo.
21 But when the priest examines it, if there is no white hair in that spot and it is only on the surface of the skin and has become less bright/shiny, then the priest will order him to stay away from other people for seven days.
Sin embargo, si cuando el sacerdote lo inspeccione, no tiene pelo blanco en él y no parece ser más que superficial, y se ha desvanecido, el sacerdote deberá poner a la persona en aislamiento durante siete días.
22 But if it is spreading, it is contagious and the priest will declare that the person must stay away from other people.
Si entonces la mancha se ha extendido más en la piel, el sacerdote las declarará impuras; es una enfermedad.
23 But if that spot is unchanged and has not spread, it is only a scar from the boil, and the priest will declare that the person is permitted to be with other people again.
Pero si la mancha permanece igual y no se extiende, es sólo la cicatriz del furúnculo, y el sacerdote las declarará limpias.
24 ‘Then someone has a burn on his skin and a bright/shiny or white spot appears, and the flesh in that area is sensitive/painful,
“Si alguien tiene una quemadura en la piel y donde está abierta se convierte en una mancha blanca o rojiza,
25 the priest must examine the spot. If the hair in that spot has turned white and it seems to be deeper than just on the surface of the skin, it is a contagious skin disease that has appeared where the burn was, and that person must stay away from other people.
el sacerdote debe revisarla. Si el vello que crecesobre la mancha se ha vuelto blanco y la mancha parece ser más profunda, es una enfermedad grave de la piel que ha infectado la quemadura, y el sacerdote que la inspeccione declarará a la persona impura. Es una enfermedad infecciosa de la piel.
26 But when the priest examines it and sees that there is no white hair in that spot and it is only on the surface of the skin, and has faded, the priest will declare that the person must stay away from people for seven days.
Sin embargo, si cuando el sacerdote la inspeccione, no tiene pelo blanco en ella y no parece ser más que superficial, y se ha desvanecido, el sacerdote deberá poner a la persona en aislamiento durante siete días.
27 On the seventh day, the priest will examine him again. If the sore is spreading, it is a contagious skin disease, and the priest will declare that the person must stay away from other people.
Al séptimo día el sacerdote examinará a la persona de nuevo. Si entonces la mancha se ha extendido más en la piel, el sacerdote la declarará impura; es una enfermedad grave de la piel.
28 However, if the spot is not changed and has not spread but has faded, it is only a scar from the burn, and the priest will declare that the person is permitted to be with other people again.
Pero si la mancha permanece igual y no se ha extendido sobre la piel, sino que se ha desvanecido, es la hinchazón de la quemadura, y el sacerdote los declarará limpios porque es sólo la cicatriz de la quemadura.
29 ‘If a man or a woman has a sore on his head or on his chin,
“Si alguien, hombre o mujer, tiene una llaga en la cabeza o en el mentón,
30 the priest must examine it. If it appears to be deeper than [just on the surface of] the skin, and the hair in that spot has thinned out and has become yellowish, it is a contagious skin disease that causes itching. And the priest will declare that the person must stay away from other people.
el sacerdote la inspeccionará, y si parece ser más que superficial y el pelo en ella se ha vuelto pálido y fino, el sacerdote debe declararlos inmundos; es una infección que produce costras, una enfermedad grave de la cabeza o del mentón.
31 But when the priest examines that kind of sore, if it seems to be only on the surface of the skin and there is no healthy hair in it, the priest will tell the person to stay away from other people for seven days.
Sin embargo, si el sacerdote inspecciona la infección de la costra y no parece ser más que superficial y no tiene vello pálido, el sacerdote debe poner a la persona en aislamiento durante siete días.
32 On the seventh day, the priest will examine the sore again. If it has not spread and if there is no yellow hair in that spot and if it appears to be only on the surface of the skin,
El séptimo día el sacerdote inspeccionará a la persona de nuevo y si la infección de la costra no se ha extendido y no hay pelo pálido en ella, y no parece ser más que superficial,
33 the person must shave the hair near the sore but not the hair on the sore. And the priest will tell him to stay away from other people for seven more days.
entonces la persona debe afeitarse excepto en la zona escamosa. El sacerdote debe poner a la persona en aislamiento por otros siete días.
34 On the seventh day, the priest will examine that spot again. If it has not spread and it appears to be only on the surface of the skin, the priest will declare that the person is permitted to be with people again. The person must wash his clothes, and then he can be with other people.
Al séptimo día el sacerdote inspeccionará la infección de la costra, y si no se ha extendido en la piel y no parece ser más que superficial, el sacerdote debe declarar a la persona limpia. Deben lavar su ropa y estarán limpios.
35 But if the sore later spreads,
Sin embargo, si la infección de la costra se ha propagado en la piel después de haber sido declarada limpia,
36 the priest must examine him again. If the itch/sore has spread, the priest does not need to look for yellow hair, because it is clear that the person has a contagious skin disease.
el sacerdote debe inspeccionarlos, y si la infección de la costra se ha propagado efectivamente en la piel, el sacerdote no necesita comprobar si hay pelo pálido; la persona está impura.
37 However, if the priest thinks that the spot has not changed, and healthy hair is growing in that area, it is clear that the itch has healed, and the priest will declare that the person is permitted to be with other people again.
Pero si el sacerdote ve que la infección de la costra no ha cambiado, y le ha crecido pelo negro, entonces se ha curado. La persona está limpia, y el sacerdote debe declararlo.
38 ‘Then a man or a woman has white spots on the skin,
Si alguien, hombre o mujer, tiene manchas blancas en la piel,
39 the priest should examine them. But if the spots are dull white, it is only a rash, and [the priest will declare that] the person is permitted to be with other people.
el sacerdote las inspeccionará, y si las manchas aparecen de un blanco apagado, es sólo un sarpullido que se ha desarrollado en la piel; la persona está limpia.
40 ‘If a man loses the hair on any part of his head, he does not need to stay away from other people.
“Si un hombre pierde el pelo y se queda calvo, sigue estando limpio.
Si tiene un retroceso del cabello y se queda calvo en la frente, sigue estando limpio.
42 But if he gets a bright/shiny sore on his bald head or on his forehead, he has a contagious skin disease.
Pero si aparece una llaga rojiblanca en su cabeza o frente calva, es una enfermedad infecciosa que se está desarrollando.
43 The priest must examine him. If the swollen sore is a bright spot like [the spot on someone who has] a contagious skin disease,
El sacerdote debe inspeccionarlo, y si la hinchazón de la llaga en su calva o frente se ve rojiblanca como una enfermedad de la piel,
44 the priest will declare that the man has a contagious skin disease and must not be with other people.
entonces tiene una enfermedad infecciosa; está sucio. El sacerdote debe declararlo impuro por la infección en su cabeza.
45 ‘Anyone who has a contagious skin disease must wear torn clothes and not comb his hair. [When he is near other people], he must cover the lower part to his face and call out, “Do not come near me! I have a contagious skin disease!”
“Cualquiera que tenga tales enfermedades debe usar desgarrada y dejar que su cabello permanezca despeinado. Debe cubrirse la cara y gritar: ‘¡Inmundo, inmundo!’
46 He is not allowed to be with other people as long as he has the disease. He must live alone, outside the camp.’”
Permanecen inmundos mientras dure la infección. Tienen que vivir solos en algún lugar fuera del campamento.
47 “Sometimes a person’s clothing gets mildew on it. It may be clothing that is woven from wool or made from linen or from leather.
“Las siguientes reglamentaciones se refieren a cualquier material que se vea afectado por el moho, como la ropa de lana o lino,
cualquier cosa tejida o de punto hecha de lino o lana, o cualquier cosa hecha de cuero:
49 If the contaminated/mildewed part is greenish or reddish, it is a spreading mildew, and it must be shown to the priest.
Si la mancha es verde o roja en el material, ya sea cuero, tejido o tejido de punto o algún otro artículo de cuero, entonces está infectado con moho y debe ser mostrado al sacerdote.
50 The priest will examine it, and then put it in a separate place by itself for seven days.
El sacerdote debe inspeccionar el moho y poner el artículo en aislamiento durante siete días.
51 On the seventh day he must examine it again. If the mildew has spread, it is clear that it is a type of mildew that destroys clothing, and that clothing must not be worn again.
Al séptimo día el sacerdote deberá inspeccionarlo de nuevo, y si la mancha de moho se ha extendido en el material, ya sea cuero, tejido o tejido de punto o algún otro artículo de cuero, entonces es un moho dañino; el artículo está sucio, sea cual sea el uso que se le dé.
52 The owner must burn completely the item that has the mildew in it, whatever kind of item it is.
El sacerdote debe quemarlo, ya sea que el artículo afectado sea de lana, lino o cuero. Debido a que el moho es dañino, el artículo debe ser quemado.
53 But when the priest examines it, if the mildew has not spread,
Sin embargo, si cuando el sacerdote lo inspeccione de nuevo, el moho no se ha extendido,
54 he will tell the person [who owns it] to wash it. Then he must put it in a separate place for another seven days.
el sacerdote ordenará que el artículo afectado se lave y se ponga en aislamiento durante otros siete días.
55 Then the priest will examine it again. If the color of the mildew has not changed, even though it has not spread, that item must not be worn again. It does not matter if the mildew is on the inside of the clothing or on the outside; it must be burned.
Una vez lavado, el sacerdote debe inspeccionarlo de nuevo, y si el objeto con el molde no ha cambiado su aspecto, está sucio. Aunque el moho no se haya extendido, debe quemar el artículo, tanto si el daño del moho está en el interior como en el exterior.
56 But when the priest examines it [after it has been washed], if the mildew has faded, he must tear out that part that had the mildew in it.
Si el sacerdote lo inspecciona y la mancha de moho se ha desvanecido después de lavarlo, debe cortar la parte afectada el material, ya sea cuero, tejido o tejido de punto.
57 But if the mildew reappears in that item, it is clear that it is spreading, and the whole item must be burned.
Sin embargo, si el moho regresa, entonces se está extendiendo. En ese caso debe quemar la parte afectada.
58 But after the clothing is washed and the mildew disappears, it must be washed again, and then it can be worn again.
Si el moho desaparece después de lavarlo, entonces hay que lavarlo de nuevo, y estará limpio.
59 Those are the regulations concerning mildew on things made of wool or linen or leather, for deciding whether those things can continue to be worn or not.”
“Estas son las normas sobre lo que hay que hacer cuando el moho contamina la lana o el lino, ya sea tejido o tejido de punto, o cualquier artículo de cuero, para declararlo limpio o sucio”.
