Leviticus 13
1 And the LORD spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying,
Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose ne Aaron se,
2 When a man shall have in the skin of his flesh a swelling, a scab, or bright spot, and it be in the skin of his flesh like the plague of leprosy; then he shall be brought to Aaron the priest, or to one of his sons the priests:
“Sɛ obi hu sɛ biribi ahon ne honam ani, anaa pɔmpɔ anaa atape asi no na adidi akɔ ne honam mu a, onhu sɛ ɛyɛ kwata. Ɛsɛ sɛ wɔde saa onipa no kɔma ɔsɔfo Aaron anaa ne mmabarima no mu baako
3 And the priest shall look on the plague in the skin of the flesh: and when the hair in the plague is turned white, and the plague in sight is deeper than the skin of his flesh, it is a plague of leprosy: and the priest shall look on him, and pronounce him unclean.
na ɔhwɛ kuru no. Sɛ nwi a esi kuru no hɔ dan yɛ fitaa na kuru no atu atɔ ɔhonam no mu a, na ɛyɛ kwata a ɛsɛ sɛ ɔsɔfo no da no adi sɛ ɔyarefo no yɛ ɔkwatani.
4 If the bright spot is white in the skin of his flesh, and in sight not deeper than the skin, and the hair of it not turned white; then the priest shall shut up him that hath the plague seven days:
Na sɛ kuru no ntɔɔ ɔhonam no mu na sɛ kuru no hɔ nwi no nso nyɛɛ fitaa a, ɛsɛ sɛ ɔsɔfo no yi ɔyarefo no fi nnipa mu nnanson.
5 And the priest shall look on him the seventh day: and, behold, if the plague in his sight is at a stay, and the plague spreadeth not in the skin; then the priest shall shut him up seven days more:
Nnanson no du a, ɔsɔfo no bɛhwɛ no bio na sɛ kuru no nsakrae na ɛntrɛwee wɔ ɔhonam no ani a, ɔsɔfo no bɛsan atwa no asu nnanson bio.
6 And the priest shall look on him again the seventh day: and, behold, if the plague is somewhat dark, and the plague spreadeth not in the skin, the priest shall pronounce him clean: it is but a scab: and he shall wash his clothes, and be clean.
Afei ne nnanson so no, ɔsɔfo no bɛhwɛ ne honam ani bio, na sɛ ohu sɛ ɔyare no ano abrɛ ase a ɛntrɛwee a, ɔsɔfo no bɛka ato gua sɛ, ɔyarefo no ho atɔ no; ɔbɛkyerɛ mu sɛ ɛyɛ ntwom bi na eguu no bere tiaa bi mu. Enti sɛ ɔyarefo no horo ne ntama a, wɔbɛfa no sɛ wanya ayaresa awie.
7 But if the scab shall spread much in the skin, after he hath been seen by the priest for his cleansing, he shall be seen by the priest again:
Na sɛ nso ɔyarefo no ba ɔsɔfo no nkyɛn ma ɔhwɛ no na ɔyare no atrɛtrɛw a, ɛsɛ sɛ ɔsan ba ɔsɔfo no nkyɛn bio
8 And if the priest shall see that, behold, the scab spreadeth in the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean: it is a leprosy.
na ɔhwɛ no na sɛ ɔyare no atrɛtrɛw wɔ ɔhonam no ani a, afei, ɔbɛpae mu aka sɛ amanne kwan so no, ne ho ntew na ɛyɛ ɔhonam ani nsanyare.
9 When the plague of leprosy is in a man, then he shall be brought to the priest;
“Sɛ obi nya ɔhonam ani nsanyare a, ɛsɛ sɛ wɔde no kɔkyerɛ ɔsɔfo na ɔhwɛ no.
10 And the priest shall see him: and, behold, if the swelling is white in the skin, and it hath turned the hair white, and there is living raw flesh in the swelling;
Sɛ ɔsɔfo no hu sɛ nwi no bi ayɛ fitaa na kuru atɔ saa beae hɔ a,
11 It is an old leprosy in the skin of his flesh, and the priest shall pronounce him unclean, and shall not shut him up: for he is unclean.
na ɛkyerɛ sɛ ɛyɛ ɔhonam ani nsanyare, na ɛsɛ sɛ ɔsɔfo no de to gua sɛ amanne kwan so no, onipa no ho ntew. Ɛba saa a, wɔnhwehwɛ ɔyare no mu bio, efisɛ ɛda adi pefee sɛ ɔhonam no ayɛ kwata.
12 And if a leprosy shall break out in the skin, and the leprosy shall cover all the skin of him that hath the plague from his head even to his foot, wherever the priest looketh;
“Nanso sɛ ɔsɔfo no hu sɛ kwata no adidi ne honam nyinaa fi ne ti so kosi ne nan ase nyinaa a,
13 Then the priest shall consider: and, behold, if the leprosy hath covered all his flesh, he shall pronounce him clean that hath the plague: it is all turned white: he is clean.
ɔsɔfo no bɛpae mu aka se ne ho tew, efisɛ ne honam nyinaa adan ayɛ fitaa.
14 But when raw flesh appeareth in him, he shall be unclean.
Na sɛ akuru no bi pue ne honam no baabi foforo a, wɔbɛpae mu aka sɛ onipa no yɛ ɔkwatani.
15 And the priest shall see the raw flesh, and pronounce him to be unclean: for the raw flesh is unclean: it is a leprosy.
Ɛsɛ sɛ ɔsɔfo no pae mu ka ntɛm ara a ohu kuru wɔ honam no fa baabi, efisɛ akuru no kyerɛ sɛ kwata wɔ ɔhonam no mu.
16 Or if the raw flesh shall turn again, and be changed into white, he shall come to the priest;
Na sɛ akuru no wu na ɛdan yɛ fitaa sɛ ɔhonam a aka no a, ɔkwatani no bɛkɔ ɔsɔfo no hɔ bio.
17 And the priest shall see him: and, behold, if the plague is turned into white; then the priest shall pronounce him clean that hath the plague: he is clean.
Ɔsɔfo no bɛhwɛ no na sɛ ɔhonam no fa hɔ ayɛ fitaa de a, ɔsɔfo no bɛpae mu aka sɛ ne ho atɔ no.
18 The flesh also, in which, even in the skin of it, was a boil, and is healed,
“Sɛ pɔmpɔ si obi na agyae
19 And in the place of the boil there shall be a white swelling, or a bright spot, white, and somewhat reddish, and it be showed to the priest;
na sɛ baabi a pɔmpɔ no sii no biribi hyerɛnn bi, anaa nea ɛbere kakra hon wɔ hɔ a, ɛsɛ sɛ ɔde ne ho kɔkyerɛ ɔsɔfo.
20 And if, when the priest seeth it, behold, it is in sight lower than the skin, and the hair of it is turned white; the priest shall pronounce him unclean: it is a plague of leprosy broken out of the boil.
Na sɛ ɔsɔfo no hwɛ na ɔyare no adidi kɔ ne honam mu na nwi a ɛwɔ ɔhonam no hɔ no ayɛ fitaa a, ɔsɔfo no bɛpae mu aka se ɔyarefo no ho ntew, efisɛ kwata apue afi pɔmpɔ no mu.
21 But if the priest shall look on it, and, behold, there are no white hairs in it, and if it is not lower than the skin, but somewhat dark; then the priest shall shut him up seven days:
Nanso sɛ ɔsɔfo no hwɛ na ohu sɛ nwi fitaa biara nni baabi a ɔyare no wɔ hɔ no, na ɔyare no nnidi nkɔɔ honam no mu, na ahosu no yɛ nsonso a ɔsɔfo no beyi no afi nnipa mu nnanson.
22 And if it hath spread much in the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean: it is a plague.
Saa bere no mu sɛ beae hɔ no trɛtrɛw a, ɔsɔfo no bɛpae mu aka se, onipa no yare kwata.
23 But if the bright spot shall stay in its place, and not spread, it is a burning boil; and the priest shall pronounce him clean.
Na sɛ beae a ɛhɔ ayɛ hyerɛnn no anhon bio na antrɛtrɛw a, na ɛyɛ pɔmpɔ no twa kɛkɛ enti ɔsɔfo no bɛpae mu aka se ne ho tew.
24 Or if there is any flesh, in the skin of which there is a hot burning, and the live flesh that burneth hath a white bright spot, somewhat reddish, or white;
“Sɛ obi hyehyew na sɛ ɔhyehyew no mu yɛ kɔkɔɔ ne fitaa anaa fitaa a,
25 Then the priest shall look upon it: and, behold, if the hair in the bright spot is turned white, and it is in sight deeper than the skin; it is a leprosy broken out of the burning: therefore the priest shall pronounce him unclean: it is the plague of leprosy.
ɛsɛ sɛ ɔsɔfo no hwɛ faako a ɔhyehyew no wɔ. Sɛ nwi a ɛwɔ beae a ɛhɔ nnii dɛm biara no dan yɛ fitaa na sɛ ɛyɛ ade a adidi kɔ ɔhonam no mu a, na ɛyɛ kwata na apue afi ɔhyehyew no mu, enti ɛsɛ sɛ ɔsɔfo no pae mu ka sɛ onipa no yɛ ɔkwatani.
26 But if the priest shall look on it, and, behold, there is no white hair in the bright spot, and it is no lower than the other skin, but is somewhat dark; then the priest shall shut him up seven days:
Na sɛ ɔsɔfo no hwɛ hu sɛ nwi fitaa nni beae a ɛhɔ yɛ hyerɛnn no, na sɛ hyerɛnn no nnidi nkɔɔ ɔhonam no mu, na ɔyare no regyae a, ɔsɔfo no beyi no afi nnipa mu nnanson
27 And the priest shall look upon him the seventh day: and if it is spread much in the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean: it is the plague of leprosy.
na wahwɛ no ne nnanson so bio. Sɛ ɔyare no trɛw fa ɔhonam no ani a, ɛsɛ sɛ ɔsɔfo no pae mu ka se kwata ayɛ onipa no.
28 And if the bright spot shall stay in its place, and not spread in the skin, but be somewhat dark; it is a swelling of the burning, and the priest shall pronounce him clean: for it is an inflammation of the burning.
Nanso sɛ ɔhonam no fa hɔ a ayɛ hyerɛnn no antrɛtrɛw ɔhonam no ani, na sɛ ɛyɛ sɛ nea ɛhɔ retwintwam no a, wɔbɛfa no sɛ ɛyɛ ɔhyehyew twa bi, enti ɔsɔfo no bɛda no adi sɛ ɔnyare kwata.
29 If a man or woman shall have a plague upon the head or the beard;
“Sɛ kuru da ɔbarima anaa ɔbea bi tirim anaa nʼafono ho a,
30 Then the priest shall see the plague: and, behold, if it is in sight deeper than the skin; and there is in it a yellow thin hair; then the priest shall pronounce him unclean: it is a dry scall, even a leprosy upon the head or beard.
ɛsɛ sɛ ɔsɔfo no hwɛ; sɛ ɔhwɛ na ohu sɛ ɔyare no adidi kɔ ɔhonam no mu na ɔsan hu nwi a ɛte sɛ akokɔsrade wɔ kuru no mu a, ɛsɛ sɛ ɔpae mu ka se onipa no yare kwata.
31 And if the priest shall look on the plague of the scall, and, behold, it is not in sight deeper than the skin, and no black hair in it; then the priest shall shut up him that hath the plague of the scall seven days:
Na sɛ ɔsɔfo no hwɛ na ohu sɛ ɔyare no nnidi nkɔɔ ɔhonam no mu, na mmom, ɛwɔ ɔhonam no ani a nwi tuntum wɔ mu a, ɛsɛ sɛ woyi onipa no fi nnipa mu nnanson,
32 And in the seventh day the priest shall look on the plague: and, behold, if the scall spreadeth not, and there is in it no yellow hair, and the scall is not in sight deeper than the skin;
na ne nnanson so no, wɔsan hwɛ no bio. Sɛ ɔyare no ntrɛtrɛwee, na nwi a ɛte sɛ akokɔsrade nnaa ne ho adi wɔ mu na ennidi nkɔɔ ɔhonam no mu a,
33 He shall be shaven, but the scall shall he not shave; and the priest shall shut up him that hath the scall seven days more:
ɔbɛtwerɛw nwi a atwa kuru no ho ahyia nyinaa (na mmom ɛnyɛ kuru no mu ankasa) na ɔsɔfo no ayi no afi nnipa mu nnanson bio.
34 And in the seventh day the priest shall look on the scall: and, behold, if the scall is not spread in the skin, nor is in sight deeper than the skin; then the priest shall pronounce him clean: and he shall wash his clothes, and be clean.
Ne nnanson so no, ɔbɛsan ahwɛ no, na sɛ ɔyare no ntrɛtrɛw nnidi nkɔɔ ɔhonam no mu a, ɔsɔfo no bɛpae mu aka se onipa no ho atew na sɛ ɔhoro ne ntama wie a, na afei wadi mu.
35 But if the scall shall spread much in the skin after his cleansing;
Na sɛ akyiri no saa ɔyare no trɛtrɛw a,
36 Then the priest shall look on him: and, behold, if the scall is spread in the skin, the priest shall not seek for yellow hair; he is unclean.
ɛsɛ sɛ ɔsɔfo no hwɛ no bio a ɔhwɛ sɛ nwi a ɛte sɛ akokɔsrade fra ɔyare no mu na ɔpae mu ka se, onipa no yare kwata.
37 But if the scall shall be in his sight at a stay, and there is black hair grown in it; the scall is healed, he is clean: and the priest shall pronounce him clean.
Na sɛ ɔyare no trɛw a ɛtrɛtrɛw no gyae na sɛ nwi tuntum fuw wɔ beae hɔ a, na ɛkyerɛ sɛ, ne ho atɔ no a kwata biara nni ne ho enti ɛsɛ sɛ ɔsɔfo no pae mu ka se ne ho atew.
38 If a man also or a woman shall have in the skin of their flesh bright spots, even white bright spots;
“Sɛ ɔbarima anaa ɔbea bi honam ani yɛ fitaa hanahana,
39 Then the priest shall look: and, behold, if the bright spots in the skin of their flesh are darkish white; it is a freckled spot that groweth in the skin; he is clean.
na akyiri no ɔhonam no ani dum ara na ɛredum a, na ɛnkyerɛ sɛ kwata ayɛ onipa no, na mmom, ɛyɛ ɔyare foforo bi.
40 And the man whose hair hath fallen off his head, he is bald; yet is he clean.
“Sɛ obi ti so pa a, ɛwɔ mu sɛ ne ti so apa de, nanso ɛno nkyerɛ sɛ ɔyɛ ɔkwatani!
41 And he that hath his hair fallen off from the part of his head toward his face, he is forehead bald: yet is he clean.
Sɛ obi ti so pa fi ne moma so a, na ne moma so ara na apa, na ɛnkyerɛ sɛ ɛyɛ kwata.
42 And if there is in the bald head, or bald forehead, a white reddish sore; it is a leprosy sprung up on his bald head, or his bald forehead.
Na mmom, sɛ nsisii akɔkɔɔ a fitaa frafra mu wɔ tipae no so a, na ɛkyerɛ sɛ ebia kwata pɛ sɛ ɛyɛ saa onipa no.
43 Then the priest shall look upon it: and, behold, if the swelling of the sore is white reddish on his bald head, or on his bald forehead, as the leprosy appeareth in the skin of the flesh;
Sɛ ɛba saa a, ɔsɔfo no bɛhwɛ no na sɛ biribi kɔkɔɔ aboa ne ho baabi te sɛ kwata a,
44 He is a leprous man, he is unclean: the priest shall pronounce him utterly unclean; his plague is in his head.
na ɛkyerɛ sɛ, kwata ayɛ no, enti ɛsɛ sɛ ɔsɔfo no pae mu ka se, onipa no yare kwata.
45 And the leper in whom the plague is, his clothes shall be torn, and his head bare, and he shall put a covering upon his upper lip, and shall cry, Unclean, unclean.
“Onipa biara a wobehu sɛ ɔyare kwata no, ɛsɛ sɛ ofura ntama a atetew na ɔma ne tinwi fuw, twa mpɛsɛmpɛsɛ na ɔkata nʼanim fa na ɔnam a ɔteɛteɛ mu se, ‘Me ho ntew! Me ho ntew!’
46 All the days in which the plague shall be in him he shall be defiled; he is unclean: he shall dwell alone; outside the camp shall his habitation be.
Na nna dodow a ɔyare no nkɔe no de, wɔbɛfa ɔyarefo no sɛ ne ho ntew enti ɛsɛ sɛ ɔtena kurow no akyi baabi.
47 The garment also that the plague of leprosy is in, whether a woollen garment, or a linen garment;
“Sɛ kwata ho nsɛnkyerɛnne bi ka atade,
48 Whether in the warp, or woof; of linen, or of woollen; whether in a skin, or in any thing made of skin;
kuntutam anaa nweratam, aboa nhoma anaa biribiara a wɔde aboa nwoma ayɛ mu,
49 And if the plague is greenish or reddish in the garment, or in the skin, either in the warp, or in the woof, or in any thing of skin; it is a plague of leprosy, and shall be shown to the priest:
na sɛ nsisii ahabammono anaa kɔkɔɔ wɔ mu a, ebia na ɛyɛ kwata, enti ɛsɛ sɛ wɔde kɔma ɔsɔfo na ɔhwɛ.
50 And the priest shall look upon the plague, and shut up that which hath the plague seven days:
Ɔsɔfo no de bɛkɔ akosie nnanson.
51 And he shall look on the plague on the seventh day: if the plague is spread in the garment, either in the warp, or in the woof, or in a skin, or in any work that is made of skin; the plague is an active leprosy; it is unclean.
Nnanson so no, wasan ahwɛ bio. Na sɛ ohu sɛ nsisii no atrɛtrɛw a, na ɛkyerɛ sɛ, ɛyɛ kwata a etumi san nnipa.
52 He shall therefore burn that garment, whether warp or woof, in woollen or in linen, or any thing of skin, in which the plague is: for it is an active leprosy; it shall be burnt in the fire.
Ɛsɛ sɛ ɔde ogya hyew ntama, kuntu ne ntadetam ne aboa nwoma no nyinaa, efisɛ, ɛnam eyinom so betumi ama ɔyare no asan nnipa.
53 And if the priest shall look, and, behold, the plague is not spread in the garment, either in the warp, or in the woof, or in any thing of skin;
“Na sɛ ne nnanson so no ɔhwɛ na sɛ nsisii no ntrɛtrɛwee a,
54 Then the priest shall command that they wash the thing in which the plague is, and he shall shut it up seven days more:
ɔsɔfo no bɛhyɛ ama wɔahoro nneɛma a wodwen sɛ ɔyare no bi wɔ mu no no nyinaa na wɔakora no baabi bio nnanson.
55 And the priest shall look on the plague, after it is washed: and, behold, if the plague hath not changed its colour, and the plague hath not spread; it is unclean; thou shalt burn it in the fire; it eateth away inward, whether it is bare within or without.
Sɛ nnanson bio akyi faako a ɔyare no wɔ hɔ no nsesaa nʼahosu na ɛntrɛwee a, wɔbɛfa no sɛ ɛyɛ kwata nti ɛsɛ sɛ wɔhyew ade no, efisɛ ɔyare no adidi kɔ mu ara yiye.
56 And if the priest shall look, and, behold, the plague is somewhat dark after the washing of it; then he shall rend it out of the garment, or out of the skin, or out of the warp, or out of the woof:
Na sɛ ɔsɔfo no hu sɛ nneɛmahoro no akyi, nsisii no ano abrɛ ase a, obetwa hɔ afi ntama anaa aboa nwoma a wɔde adi dwuma bi no mu.
57 And if it shall appear still in the garment, either in the warp, or in the woof, or in any thing of skin; it is a spreading plague: thou shalt burn that in which the plague is with fire.
Na sɛ ɛsan ba bio de a, na ɛyɛ kwata enti ɛsɛ sɛ wɔhyew no.
58 And the garment, either warp, or woof, or whatever thing of skin it is, which thou shalt wash, if the plague hath departed from them, then it shall be washed the second time, and shall be clean.
Sɛ wɔhoro na asɛm biara amma ho a, wotumi de di dwuma biara bere a wɔasan ahoro no.”
59 This is the law of the plague of leprosy in a garment of woollen or linen, either in the warp, or woof, or any thing of skins, to pronounce it clean, or to pronounce it unclean.
Eyinom ne mmara a ɛfa kwata a ɛwɔ ntama anaa biribiara a wɔde aboa nhoma ayɛ a wɔnam so da no adi sɛ kwata wɔ dekode no mu anaa bi nni mu no ho.
