Leviticus 14

1 locutusque est Dominus ad Mosen dicens

And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

2 hic est ritus leprosi quando mundandus est adducetur ad sacerdotem

This is the law of the leper: in whatever day he shall have been cleansed, then shall he be brought to the priest.

3 qui egressus e castris cum invenerit lepram esse mundatam

And the priest shall come forth out of the camp, and the priest shall look, and, behold, the plague of the leprosy is removed from the leper.

4 praecipiet ei qui purificatur ut offerat pro se duos passeres vivos quos vesci licitum est et lignum cedrinum vermiculumque et hysopum

And the priest shall give directions, and they shall take for him that is cleansed two clean live birds, and cedar wood, and spun scarlet, and hyssop.

5 et unum e passeribus immolari iubebit in vase fictili super aquas viventes

And the priest shall give direction, and they shall kill one bird over an earthen vessel over running water.

6 alium autem vivum cum ligno cedrino et cocco et hysopo tinguet in sanguine passeris immolati

And as for the living bird he shall take it, and the cedar wood, and the spun scarlet, and the hyssop, and he shall dip them and the living bird into the blood of the bird that was slain over running water.

7 quo asperget illum qui mundandus est septies ut iure purgetur et dimittet passerem vivum ut in agrum avolet

And he shall sprinkle seven times upon him that was cleansed of his leprosy, and he shall be clean; and he shall let go the living bird into the field.

8 cumque laverit homo vestimenta sua radet omnes pilos corporis et lavabitur aqua purificatusque ingredietur castra ita dumtaxat ut maneat extra tabernaculum suum septem diebus

and the man that has been cleansed shall wash his garments, and shall shave off all his hair, and shall wash himself in water, and shall be clean; and after that he shall go into the camp, and shall remain out of his house seven days.

9 et die septimo radat capillos capitis barbamque et supercilia ac totius corporis pilos et lotis rursum vestibus et corpore

And it shall come to pass on the seventh day, he shall shave off all his hair, his head and his beard, and his eye-brows, even all his hair shall he shave; and he shall wash his garments, and wash his body with water, and shall be clean.

10 die octavo adsumet duos agnos inmaculatos et ovem anniculam absque macula et tres decimas similae in sacrificium quae conspersa sit oleo et seorsum olei sextarium

And on the eighth day he shall take two lambs without spot of a year old, and one ewe lamp without spot of a year old, and three-tenths of fine flour for sacrifice kneaded with oil, and one small cup of oil.

11 cumque sacerdos purificans hominem statuerit eum et haec omnia coram Domino in ostio tabernaculi testimonii

And the priest that cleanses shall present the man under purification, and these [offerings] before the Lord, at the door of the tabernacle of witness.

12 tollet agnum et offeret eum pro delicto oleique sextarium et oblatis ante Dominum omnibus

And the priest shall take one lamb, and offer him for a trespass-offering, and the cup of oil, and set them apart for a special offering before the Lord.

13 immolabit agnum ubi immolari solet hostia pro peccato et holocaustum id est in loco sancto sicut enim pro peccato ita et pro delicto ad sacerdotem pertinet hostia sancta sanctorum est

and they shall kill the lamb in the place where they kill the whole burnt offerings, and the sin-offerings, in the holy places; for it is a sin-offering: as the trespass-offering, it belongs to the priest, it is most holy.

14 adsumensque sacerdos de sanguine hostiae quae immolata est pro delicto ponet super extremum auriculae dextrae eius qui mundatur et super pollices manus dextrae et pedis

And the priest shall take of the blood of the trespass-offering, and the priest shall put it on the tip of the right ear of the person under cleansing, and on the thumb of his right hand, and on the great toe of his right foot.

15 et de olei sextario mittet in manum suam sinistram

And the priest shall take of the cup of oil, and shall pour it upon his own left hand.

16 tinguetque digitum dextrum in eo et asperget septies contra Dominum

And he shall dip with the finger of his right hand [into] some of the oil that is in his left hand, and he shall sprinkle with his finger seven times before the Lord.

17 quod autem reliquum est olei in leva manu fundet super extremum auriculae dextrae eius qui mundatur et super pollices manus ac pedis dextri et super sanguinem qui fusus est pro delicto

And the remaining oil that is in his hand, the priest shall put on the tip of the right ear of him that is under cleansing, and on the thumb of his right hand, and on the great toe of his right foot, on the place of the blood of the trespass-offering.

18 et super caput eius

And the remaining oil that is on the hand of the priest, the priest shall put on the head of the cleansed [leper], and the priest shall make atonement for him before the Lord.

19 rogabitque pro eo coram Domino et faciet sacrificium pro peccato tunc immolabit holocaustum

And the priest shall sacrifice the sin-offering, and the priest shall make atonement for the person under purification [to cleanse him] from his sin, and afterwards the priest shall kill the whole burnt offering.

20 et ponet illud in altari cum libamentis suis et homo rite mundabitur

And the priest shall offer the whole burnt offering, and the sacrifice upon the altar before the Lord; and the priest shall make atonement for him, and he shall be cleansed.

21 quod si pauper est et non potest manus eius invenire quae dicta sunt adsumet agnum pro delicto ad oblationem ut roget pro eo sacerdos decimamque partem similae conspersae oleo in sacrificium et olei sextarium

And if he should be poor, and can’t afford so much, he shall take one lamb for his transgression for a separate-offering, so as to make propitiation for him, and a tenth deal of fine flour mingled with oil for a sacrifice, and one cup of oil,

22 duosque turtures sive duos pullos columbae quorum sit unus pro peccato et alter in holocaustum

and two turtledoves, or two young pigeons, as he can afford; and the one shall be for a sin-offering, and the other for a whole burnt offering.

23 offeretque ea die octavo purificationis suae sacerdoti ad ostium tabernaculi testimonii coram Domino

And he shall bring them on the eighth day, to purify him, to the priest, to the door of the tabernacle of witness before the Lord.

24 qui suscipiens agnum pro delicto et sextarium olei levabit simul

And the priest shall take the lamb of the trespass-offering, and the cup of oil, and place them for a set-offering before the Lord.

25 immolatoque agno de sanguine eius ponet super extremum auriculae dextrae illius qui mundatur et super pollices manus eius ac pedis dextri

And he shall kill the lamb of the trespass-offering; and the priest shall take of the blood of the trespass-offering, and put it on the tip of the right ear of him that is under purification, and on the thumb of his right hand, and on the great toe of his right foot.

26 olei vero partem mittet in manum suam sinistram

And the priest shall pour of the oil on his own left hand.

27 in quo tinguens digitum dextrae manus asperget septies contra Dominum

And the priest shall sprinkle with the finger of his right hand some of the oil that is in his left hand seven times before the Lord.

28 tangetque extremum dextrae auriculae illius qui mundatur et pollices manus ac pedis dextri in loco sanguinis qui effusus est pro delicto

And the priest shall put of the oil that is on his hand on the tip of the right ear of him that is under purification, and on the thumb of his right hand, and on the great toe of his right foot, on the place of the blood of the trespass-offering.

29 reliquam autem partem olei quae est in sinistra manu mittet super caput purificati ut placet pro eo Dominum

And that which is left of the oil which is on the hand of the priest he shall put on the head of him that is purged, and the priest shall make atonement for him before the Lord.

30 et turturem sive pullum columbae offeret

And he shall offer one of the turtledoves or of the young pigeons, as he can afford it,

31 unum pro delicto et alterum in holocaustum cum libamentis suis

the one for a sin-offering, the other for a whole burnt offering with the meat-offering, and the priest shall make an atonement before the Lord for him that is under purification.

32 hoc est sacrificium leprosi qui habere non potest omnia in emundationem sui

This is the law for him in whom is the plague of leprosy, and who can’t afford the offerings for his purification.

33 locutus est Dominus ad Mosen et Aaron dicens

And the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying,

34 cum ingressi fueritis terram Chanaan quam ego dabo vobis in possessionem si fuerit plaga leprae in aedibus

Whenever you shall enter into the land of the Chananites, which I give you for a possession, and I shall put the plague of leprosy in the houses of the land of your possession;

35 ibit cuius est domus nuntians sacerdoti et dicet quasi plaga leprae videtur mihi esse in domo mea

then the owner of the house shall come and report to the priest, saying, I have seen as it were a plague in the house.

36 at ille praecipiet ut efferant universa de domo priusquam ingrediatur eam et videat utrum lepra sit ne inmunda fiant omnia quae in domo sunt intrabitque postea ut consideret domus lepram

And the priest shall give orders to remove the furniture of the house, before the priest comes in to see the plague, and [thus] none of the things in the house shall become unclean; and afterwards the priest shall go in to examine the house.

37 et cum viderit in parietibus illius quasi valliculas pallore sive rubore deformes et humiliores superficie reliqua

And he shall look on the plague, and, behold, [if] the plague is in the walls of the house, [he will see] greenish or reddish cavities, and the appearance of them [will be] beneath the surface of the walls.

38 egredietur ostium domus et statim claudet eam septem diebus

And the priest shall come out of the house to the door of the house, and the priest shall separate the house seven days.

39 reversusque die septimo considerabit eam si invenerit crevisse lepram

And the priest shall return on the seventh day and view the house; and, behold, [if] the plague is spread in the walls of the house,

40 iubebit erui lapides in quibus lepra est et proici eos extra civitatem in loco inmundo

then the priest shall give orders, and they shall take away the stones in which the plague is, and shall cast them out of the city into an unclean place.

41 domum autem ipsam radi intrinsecus per circuitum et spargi pulverem rasurae extra urbem in loco inmundo

And they shall scrape the house within round about, and shall pour out the dust scraped off outside the city into an unclean place.

42 lapidesque alios reponi pro his qui ablati fuerint et luto alio liniri domum

And they shall take other scraped stones, and put them in the place of the [former] stones, and they shall take other plaster and plaster the house.

43 sin autem postquam eruti sunt lapides et pulvis elatus et alia terra lita

And if the plague should return again, and break out in the house after they have taken away the stones and after the house is scraped, and after it has been plastered,

44 ingressus sacerdos viderit reversam lepram et parietes aspersos maculis lepra est perseverans et inmunda domus

then the priest shall go in and see if the plague is spread in the house: it is a confirmed leprosy in the house, it is unclean.

45 quam statim destruent et lapides eius ac ligna atque universum pulverem proicient extra oppidum in loco inmundo

And they shall take down the house, and its timbers and its stones, and they shall carry out all the mortar without the city into an unclean place.

46 qui intraverit domum quando clausa est inmundus erit usque ad vesperum

And he that goes into the house at any time, during its separation, shall be unclean until evening.

47 et qui dormierit in ea et comederit quippiam lavabit vestimenta sua

And he that sleeps in the house shall wash his garments, and be unclean until evening; and he that eats in the house shall wash his garments, and be unclean until evening.

48 quod si introiens sacerdos viderit lepram non crevisse in domo postquam denuo lita est purificabit eam reddita sanitate

and if the priest shall arrive and enter and see, and behold the plague be not at all spread in the house after the house has been plastered, then the priest shall declare the house clean, because the plague is healed.

49 et in purificationem eius sumet duos passeres lignumque cedrinum et vermiculum atque hysopum

And he shall take to purify the house two clean living birds, and cedar wood, and spun scarlet, and hyssop.

50 et immolato uno passere in vase fictili super aquas vivas

And he shall kill one bird in an earthen vessel over running water.

51 tollet lignum cedrinum et hysopum et coccum et passerem vivum et intinguet omnia in sanguine passeris immolati atque in aquis viventibus et asperget domum septies

And he shall take the cedar wood, and the spun scarlet, and the hyssop, and the living bird; and shall dip it into the blood of the bird slain over running water, and with them he shall sprinkle the house seven times.

52 purificabitque eam tam in sanguine passeris quam in aquis viventibus et in passere vivo lignoque cedrino et hysopo atque vermiculo

and he shall purify the house with the blood of the bird, and with the running water, and with the living bird, and with the cedar wood, and with the hyssop, and with the spun scarlet.

53 cumque dimiserit passerem avolare in agrum libere orabit pro domo et iure mundabitur

And he shall let the living bird go out of the city into the field, and shall make atonement for the house, and it shall be clean.

54 ista est lex omnis leprae et percussurae

This [is] the law concerning every plague of leprosy and scurf,

55 leprae vestium et domorum

and of the leprosy of a garment, and of a house,

56 cicatricis et erumpentium papularum lucentis maculae et in varias species coloribus inmutatis

and of a sore, and of a clear spot, and of a shining one,

57 ut possit sciri quo tempore mundum quid vel inmundum sit

and of declaring in what day it is unclean, and in what day it shall be purged: this [is] the law of the leprosy.
