< Leviticus 13 >

1 Yahweh said this to Aaron and Moses/me:
BOEIPA loh Moses neh Aaron te a voek tih,
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.
“Hlang a vin a saa dongah a phuem mai khaw, a vinhna mai khaw, a dikdak la om tih a vin a saa dongah hmaibae tloh la om mai ni. Te vaengah khosoih Aaron taengah khaw, khosoih koca rhoek khuikah pakhat taengah khaw khuen saeh.
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].
A vin saa dongkah a tloh te khosoih loh a sawt vaengah a hma dongkah a mul te a bok la om tih a tloh kah a hmuethma khaw a vin saa khuila dawp a dung atah hmaibae tloh coeng ni. Tedae khosoih loh so saeh lamtah anih poeih uh ti saeh.
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.
Te vaengah a vin saa dongkah dikdak la bok dae a hmuethma loh a vin khuila dung pawt tih a mul khaw a bok la a om pawt atah hlang tlo te khosoih loh hnin rhih khoh dae saeh.
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.
A rhih hnin vaengah khosoih loh so saeh. Tedae tloh te a mikhmuh hmuen la om tih a vin khuila tloh rhoeng mai mahpawh. Te vaengah anih te khosoih loh pabae la hnin rhih parhaeng saeh.
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.
A hnin rhih dongah anih te khosoih loh pabae la so bal saeh. Te vaengah a hma te maat tih a vin dongkah a hma khaw a rhoeng pawt atah khosoih loh caihcil coeng ti saeh. Phai la a om dongah a himbai te a suk vetih caihcil bitni.
7 But if the sore spreads after the priest has examined him, he must go to the priest again.
Tedae a ciimnah ham khosoih taengla a tueng phoeiah a vin dongkah phai a rhoeng la a rhoeng atah khosoih taengah pabae la tueng bal saeh.
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.
Khosoih loh a sawt vaengah a vin dongkah phai te a rhoeng atah anih te khosoih loh poeih uh coeng ti saeh. Te te hmaibae ni.
9 When anyone has a contagious skin disease, he must be brought to the priest.
Hmaibae tloh he hlang dongah a om van neh khosoih taengla khuen saeh.
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,
Khosoih loh a sawt vaengah a vin te a bok la phuem tih, a phuem dongkah a mul te a bok la a poeh phoeiah a saa te thingsup la a thing mai ni.
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.
A vin a saa dongkah hmaibae he rhung coeng tih a poeih uh coeng. Anih te rhalawt coeng tih khosoih loh anih parhaeng voel boel saeh.
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,
Tedae a vin dongah hmaibae te hnai khaw hnai mai ni. Te vaengah khosoih mik kah hmuhnah boeih ah hlangtlo kah a vin boeih te hmaibae loh a lu lamkah a kho duela a thing mai ni.
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.
Te vaengah khosoih loh so saeh lamtah a pumsa tom te hmaibae loh a thing tih tloh te a bok la boeih a om atah anih te caihcil coeng ti saeh. Anih te cim ngawn.
14 But if the person has open sores and they are very painful/sensitive, he has a contagious skin disease,
Tedae a pum dongah a saa thing a phoe tue vaengah tah aka poeih uh la om ni.
15 and when the priest sees that, he will declare that the person must stay away from other people.
Tedae a saa te khosoih loh a haeng la a hmuh saeh daengah ni poeih uh a ti eh. A saa a haeng atah hmaibae coeng tih anih rhalawt om.
16 But if the person’s flesh changes and becomes white, he must go to the priest again.
Tedae a saa thing te hoilae uh tih a bok la a poeh atah khosoih taengla koep khuen saeh.
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.
Khosoih loh a sawt tih a tloh te a bok la a poeh atah khosoih loh anih caihcil coeng ti saeh. A tloh te cim ngawn.
18 ‘Then someone has a boil on his skin and it has healed,
A pumsa kah a vin dongkah buhlut om tih hoeih mai ni.
19 but in the place where the boil was a white swelling or a bright/shiny spot appears, he must go to the priest.
Te buhlut hmuen ah a bok la aka phuem mai khaw, dikdak la a ling a bok te a om atah khosoih taengla tueng saeh.
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.
Khosoih loh a sawt vaengah a hmuethma loh a vin khuila dung tih a mul khaw a bok la a poeh atah khosoih loh anih poeih uh coeng ti saeh. Buhlut dongkah aka puek hmaibae tloh ni.
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.
Tedae te te khosoih loh so saeh lamtah a mul te a khuiah bok mai pawt nim? Te te a vin lakah dung pawt tih nuk mai ni. Te vaengah anih te khosoih loh hnin rhih parhaeng saeh.
22 But if it is spreading, it is contagious and the priest will declare that the person must stay away from other people.
Tedae a vin dongah ni a rhoeng la a rhoeng atah khosoih loh anih te poeih uh coeng ti saeh. Te te tloh coeng ni.
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.
Tedae dikdak te amah hmuen la om tih buhlut kah vinhnahlo khaw a rhoeng pawt atah anih te khosoih loh caihcil coeng ti saeh.
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,
A vin a saa khaw hmai ung bangla om tih dikdak aka bok te khaw aka ung thai a ling a bok la a om atah, khosoih loh koep so saeh.
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.
Te vaengah dikdak dongkah a mul te a bok la poeh tih a hmuethma loh a vin khuila a dung atah hmai ung dongkah aka phoe hmaibae coeng ni. Te dongah khosoih loh anih poeih uh coeng ti saeh. Te te hmaibae tloh coeng ni.
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.
Tedae khosoih loh a sawt vaengah dikdak dongkah a mul khaw bok voel pawt tih a vin khuila dung pawt dae a nuk atah anih te khosoih loh hnin rhih parhaeng bal saeh.
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.
A hnin rhih dongah khosoih loh koep so saeh lamtah a vin dongah ni a rhoeng la a rhoeng atah khosoih loh anih poeih uh coeng ti saeh. Te te hmaibae tloh coeng ni.
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.
Tedae dikdak te amah hmuen la om tih a vin dongah khaw rhoeng pawt tih a ung kah a phuem te a nukyum mai ni. A ung kah vinhnahlo la a om dongah anih te khosoih loh caihcil coeng ti saeh.
29 ‘If a man or a woman has a sore on his head or on his chin,
tongpa khaw huta mai khaw, a lu neh a baengpae dongah tloh om mai ni.
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.
Tloh te khosoih loh a sawt vaengah a hmuethma loh a vin khuila dung tih a mul khaw huephuep a ae atah khosoih loh anih poeih uh coeng ti saeh. A lu neh a baengpae kah a thak te hmaibae ni.
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.
Tedae thak tloh te khosoih loh a sawt vaengah a hmuethma te a vin khuila dung pawt tih a sam muem mai mahpawh. Te vaengah khosoih loh thak tloh kongah hnin rhih parhaeng dae saeh.
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,
A hnin rhih dongah a tloh te khosoih loh koep so saeh. Te vaengah thak te rhoeng pawh, a mul dongah a ae om pawh, thak hmuethma khaw a vin khuila dung mahpawh.
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.
Te vaengah vo saeh lamtah a thak te tah vo boel saeh. Te phoeiah aka thak te khosoih loh a pabae la hnin rhih parhaeng saeh.
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.
A hnin rhih dongah a thak te khosoih loh koep so saeh. Te vaengah a vin dongkah a thak te rhoeng pawt tih a hmuethma khaw a vin khuila a dung pawt atah khosoih loh anih caihcil coeng ti saeh. Te phoeiah a himbai suk saeh lamtah caihcil saeh.
35 But if the sore later spreads,
Tedae a ciimnah hnukah a thak te a vin dongah a rhoeng la rhoeng mai ni.
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.
Te vaengah khosoih loh so saeh lamtah a vin dongkah a thak te a rhoeng atah a mul aka ae te khaw khosoih loh rhae hnukdawn boel saeh. Anih te rhalawt coeng ni.
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.
Tedae thak te a mikhmuh hmuen la om tih a sam muem a cawn atah a thak te hoeih tih caih coeng. Te dongah anih te khosoih loh caihcil coeng ti saeh.
38 ‘Then a man or a woman has white spots on the skin,
Tongpa khaw, huta khaw a vin saa dongah dikdak dikdak la a bok om mai ni.
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.
Te vaengah khosoih loh so saeh lamtah a vin saa dongkah dikdak la nuk tih a bok te a vin dongah bungsap bangla a cuen atah anih te cim ngawn.
40 ‘If a man loses the hair on any part of his head, he does not need to stay away from other people.
Hlang he a lu poel tih lukoelh la om cakhaw cuemcaih ngawn.
A baengpae neh a hmai lamloh a lu te tlaai tih talkoelh la om cakhaw cim ngawn.
42 But if he gets a bright/shiny sore on his bald head or on his forehead, he has a contagious skin disease.
Tedae lukoelh dongah khaw, talkoelh dongah khaw a tloh a bok a ling la om tih a lukoelh neh a talkoelh dongla hmaibae loh a phoei mai ni.
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,
Te vaengah anih te khosoih loh so saeh. Tloh aka phuem te a lukoelh soah khaw, a talkoelh soah khaw a vin a saa dongah hmaibae mueimae bangla a bok a ling la om mai ni.
44 the priest will declare that the man has a contagious skin disease and must not be with other people.
Hlang te a pahuk atah anih te rhalawt coeng tih amah te poeih uh coeng. A lu ah a tloh a om dongah khosoih loh anih poeih uh coeng ti saeh.
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!”
A pum dongah tloh neh aka pahuk tah himbai pawn neh om uh saeh lamtah a lu khaw a pham la om saeh. Te phoeiah a hmui te buem saeh lamtah rhalawt coeng, rhalawt tila pang saeh.
46 He is not allowed to be with other people as long as he has the disease. He must live alone, outside the camp.’”
A pum dongah tloh neh rhalawt la a poeih uh tue khuiah tah anih te tolrhum rhaehhmuen vongvoel ah amah bueng khosa saeh.
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.
Hmaibae tloh te a pum dongkah himbai, tumul himbai dongah khaw, hlamik himbai dongah khaw,
hnitah dongah khaw, hlamik hnithun dongah khaw, tumul, maehpho, maehpho neh bitat boeih dongah khaw om mai ni.
49 If the contaminated/mildewed part is greenish or reddish, it is a spreading mildew, and it must be shown to the priest.
Tloh te himbai dongah khaw, a maehpho dongah khaw, hnitah dongah khaw, hnithun dongah khaw, maehpho hnopai khat khat dongah khaw a hing neh a ling la a om atah te te hmaibae tloh coeng ni. Te dongah khosoih taengla tueng saeh.
50 The priest will examine it, and then put it in a separate place by itself for seven days.
Te vaengah tloh te khosoih loh so saeh lamtah hlangtlo te hnin rhih parhaeng saeh.
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.
A hnin rhih dongah a tloh te koep sawt pah saeh. Tloh te himbai dongah khaw, hnitah dongah khaw, hnithun dongah khaw, maehpho dongah khaw, maehpho neh a saii boeih dongah a phoei atah tloh loh a dom hmaibae kah bitat te rhalawt coeng.
52 The owner must burn completely the item that has the mildew in it, whatever kind of item it is.
Te dongah tloh aka om himbai neh hnitah khaw, tumul hnithun khaw, hlamik khaw, maehpho neh a saii hnopai khaw boeih hoeh saeh. Hmaibae loh a dom coeng dongah hmai neh hoeh saeh.
53 But when the priest examines it, if the mildew has not spread,
Tedae khosoih loh a sawt vaengah a tloh te himbai dongah khaw, hnitah dongah khaw, hnithun dongah khaw, maehpho hnopai khat khat dongah khaw phoei pawt mai thai.
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.
Te vaengah khosoih loh uen saeh lamtah a pum dongkah tloh te sil saeh. Te phoeiah anih te a pabae la hnin rhih parhaeng saeh.
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.
Tedae a tloh te a silh phoeiah khosoih loh so saeh. Te vaengah a tloh te rhoeng pawt cakhaw tloh te a hmuethma loh a lang pawt atah anih te rhalawt coeng ni. A hnuk a hmai ah impap om tih hmai neh hoeh laeh.
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.
Tedae khosoih loh so saeh lamtah a silh phoeiah a tloh a maat atah a himbai neh maehpho khaw, hnitah neh hnithun khaw phen saeh.
57 But if the mildew reappears in that item, it is clear that it is spreading, and the whole item must be burned.
Tedae himbai neh hnitah dongah khaw, hnithun neh maehpho hnopai khat khat dongah khaw koep cuen tih koep a phoe atah tloh aka om hnopai te tah hmai neh hoeh laeh.
58 But after the clothing is washed and the mildew disappears, it must be washed again, and then it can be worn again.
Tedae himbai neh hnitah khaw, hnithun neh maehpho hnopai boeih te khaw na suk vetih tloh a nong atah pabae na suk vetih caihcil bitni.
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.”
He tah tumul neh hlamik himbai khaw, hnitah neh hnithun, maehpho hnopai cungkuem dongah hmaibae tloh caihcil nah ham neh poeih uh coeng ti ham koi vaengkah olkhueng ni,” a ti nah.
