Leviticus 13
1 Locutusque est Dominus ad Moysen, et Aaron, dicens:
Yahweh spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,
2 Homo, in cujus cute et carne ortus fuerit diversus color, sive pustula, aut quasi lucens quippiam, id est, plaga lepræ, adducetur ad Aaron sacerdotem, vel ad unum quemlibet filiorum ejus.
“When anyone has on the skin of his body a swelling or scab or a bright spot, and it becomes infected and there is a skin disease in his body, then he must be brought to Aaron the high priest, or to one of his sons the priests.
3 Qui cum viderit lepram in cute, et pilos in album mutatos colorem, ipsamque speciem lepræ humiliorem cute et carne reliqua: plaga lepræ est, et ad arbitrium ejus separabitur.
Then the priest will examine the disease in the skin of his body. If the hair in the diseased area has turned white, and if the disease appears to be deeper than just on the skin, then it is an infectious disease. After the priest examines him, he must pronounce him unclean.
4 Sin autem lucens candor fuerit in cute, nec humilior carne reliqua, et pili coloris pristini, recludet eum sacerdos septem diebus:
If the bright spot in his skin is white, and the appearance of it is no deeper than the skin, and if the hair in the diseased area has not turned white, then the priest must isolate the one with the disease for seven days.
5 et considerabit die septimo: et si quidem lepra ultra non creverit, nec transierit in cute priores terminos, rursum recludet eum septem diebus aliis.
On the seventh day, the priest must examine him to see if in his opinion the disease is not any worse, and if it has not spread in the skin. If it has not, then the priest must isolate him seven days more.
6 Et die septimo contemplabitur: si obscurior fuerit lepra, et non creverit in cute, mundabit eum, quia scabies est: lavabitque homo vestimenta sua, et mundus erit.
The priest will examine him again on the seventh day to see if the disease is better and has not spread farther in the skin. If it has not, then the priest will pronounce him clean. It is a rash. He must wash his clothes, and then he is clean.
7 Quod si postquam a sacerdote visus est, et redditus munditiæ, iterum lepra creverit: adducetur ad eum,
But if the rash has spread in the skin after he has shown himself to the priest for his cleansing, he must then show himself to the priest again.
8 et immunditiæ condemnabitur.
The priest will examine him to see if the rash has spread farther in the skin. If it has spread, then the priest must pronounce him unclean. It is an infectious disease.
9 Plaga lepræ si fuerit in homine, adducetur ad sacerdotem,
When an infectious skin disease is in someone, then he must be brought to the priest.
10 et videbit eum. Cumque color albus in cute fuerit, et capillorum mutaverit aspectum, ipsa quoque caro viva apparuerit:
The priest will examine him to see if there is a white swelling in the skin, if the hair has turned white, or if there is raw flesh in the swelling.
11 lepra vetustissima judicabitur, atque inolita cuti. Contaminabit itaque eum sacerdos, et non recludet, quia perspicuæ immunditiæ est.
If there is, then it is a chronic skin disease, and the priest must pronounce him unclean. He will not isolate him, because he is already unclean.
12 Sin autem effloruerit discurrens lepra in cute, et operuerit omnem cutem a capite usque ad pedes, quidquid sub aspectum oculorum cadit,
If the disease breaks out widely in the skin and covers all the skin of the person with the disease from his head to his feet, as far as it appears to the priest,
13 considerabit eum sacerdos, et teneri lepra mundissima judicabit: eo quod omnis in candorem versa sit, et idcirco homo mundus erit.
then the priest must examine him to see if the disease has covered all his body. If it has, then the priest must pronounce the person who has the disease as clean. If it has all turned white, then he is clean.
14 Quando vero caro vivens in eo apparuerit,
But if raw flesh appears on him, he will be unclean.
15 tunc sacerdotis judicio polluetur, et inter immundos reputabitur: caro enim viva, si lepra aspergitur, immunda est.
The priest must look at the raw flesh and pronounce him unclean because the raw flesh is unclean. It is an infectious disease.
16 Quod si rursum versa fuerit in alborem, et totum hominem operuerit,
But if the raw flesh turns white again, then the person must go to the priest.
17 considerabit eum sacerdos, et mundum esse decernet.
The priest will examine him to see if the flesh has turned white. If it has then the priest will pronounce that person to be clean.
18 Caro autem et cutis in qua ulcus natum est, et sanatum,
When a person has a boil on the skin and it has healed,
19 et in loco ulceris cicatrix alba apparuerit, sive subrufa, adducetur homo ad sacerdotem.
and in place of the boil there is white swelling or a bright spot, reddish-white, then it must be shown to the priest.
20 Qui cum viderit locum lepræ humiliorem carne reliqua, et pilos versos in candorem, contaminabit eum: plaga enim lepræ orta est in ulcere.
The priest will examine it to see if it appears deeper under the skin, and if the hair there has turned white. If so, then the priest must pronounce him unclean. It is an infectious disease, if it has developed in the place where the boil was.
21 Quod si pilus coloris est pristini, et cicatrix subobscura, et vicina carne non est humilior, recludet eum septem diebus:
But if the priest examines it and sees that there is no white hair in it, and that it is not under the skin but has faded, then the priest must isolate him for seven days.
22 et si quidem creverit, adjudicabit eum lepræ;
If it spreads widely in the skin, then the priest must pronounce him unclean. It is an infectious disease.
23 sin autem steterit in loco suo, ulceris est cicatrix, et homo mundus erit.
But if the bright spot stays in its place and has not spread, then it is the scar of the boil, and the priest must pronounce him clean.
24 Caro autem et cutis, quam ignis exusserit, et sanata albam sive rufam habuerit cicatricem,
When the skin has a burn and the raw flesh of the burn has become a reddish-white or white spot,
25 considerabit eam sacerdos: et ecce versa est in alborem, et locus ejus reliqua cute est humilior, contaminabit eum, quia plaga lepræ in cicatrice orta est.
then the priest will examine it to see if the hair in that spot has turned white, and if it appears to be deeper than the skin. If it has, then it is an infectious disease. It has broken out in the burn, and the priest must pronounce him unclean. It is an infectious disease.
26 Quod si pilorum color non fuerit immutatus, nec humilior plaga carne reliqua, et ipsa lepræ species fuerit subobscura, recludet eum septem diebus,
But if the priest examines it and finds that there is no white hair in the spot, and it is not under the skin but has faded, then the priest must isolate him for seven days.
27 et die septimo contemplabitur: si creverit in cute lepra, contaminabit eum.
Then the priest must examine him on the seventh day. If it has spread widely in the skin, then the priest must pronounce him unclean. It is an infectious disease.
28 Sin autem in loco suo candor steterit non satis clarus, plaga combustionis est, et idcirco mundabitur, quia cicatrix est combusturæ.
If the spot stays in its place and has not spread in the skin but has faded, then it is a swelling from the burn, and the priest must pronounce him clean, for it is nothing more than the scar of the burn.
29 Vir, sive mulier, in cujus capite vel barba germinaverit lepra, videbit eos sacerdos.
If a man or woman has an infectious disease on the head or chin,
30 Et si quidem humilior fuerit locus carne reliqua, et capillus flavus, solitoque subtilior, contaminabit eos, quia lepra capitis ac barbæ est.
then the priest must examine the person for an infectious disease to see if it appears to be deeper than the skin, and if there is yellow, thin hair in it. If there is, then the priest must pronounce him unclean. It is an itch, an infectious disease on the head or the chin.
31 Sin autem viderit locum maculæ æqualem vicinæ carni, et capillum nigrum: recludet eum septem diebus,
If the priest examines the itching disease and sees that it is not under the skin, and if there is no black hair in it, then the priest will isolate the person with the itching disease for seven days.
32 et die septimo intuebitur. Si non creverit macula, et capillus sui coloris est, et locus plagæ carni reliquæ æqualis:
On the seventh day the priest will examine the disease to see if it has spread. If there is no yellow hair, and if the disease appears to be only skin deep,
33 radetur homo absque loco maculæ, et includetur septem diebus aliis.
then he must be shaved, but the diseased area must not be shaved, and the priest must isolate the person with the itching disease for seven more days.
34 Si die septimo visa fuerit stetisse plaga in loco suo, nec humilior carne reliqua, mundabit eum: lotisque vestibus suis, mundus erit.
On the seventh day the priest will examine the disease to see if it has stopped spreading in the skin. If it appears to be no deeper than the skin, then the priest must pronounce him clean. The person must wash his clothes, and then he will be clean.
35 Sin autem post emundationem rursus creverit macula in cute,
But if the itching disease has spread widely in the skin after the priest said he was clean,
36 non quæret amplius utrum capillus in flavum colorem sit immutatus, quia aperte immundus est.
then the priest must examine him again. If the disease has spread in the skin, the priest does not need to seek for yellow hair. The person is unclean.
37 Porro si steterit macula, et capilli nigri fuerint, noverit hominem sanatum esse, et confidenter eum pronuntiet mundum.
But if in the priest's view the itching disease has stopped spreading and black hair has grown in the area, then the disease has healed. He is clean, and the priest must pronounce him clean.
38 Vir, sive mulier, in cujus cute candor apparuerit,
If a man or a woman has white spots on the skin,
39 intuebitur eos sacerdos. Si deprehenderit subobscurum alborem lucere in cute, sciat non esse lepram, sed maculam coloris candidi, et hominem mundum.
then the priest must examine the person to see if the spots are a dull white, which is only a rash that has broken out in the skin. He is clean.
40 Vir, de cujus capite capilli fluunt, calvus et mundus est:
If a man's hair has fallen out of his head, he is bald, but he is clean.
41 et si a fronte ceciderint pili, recalvaster et mundus est.
If his hair has fallen out of the front part of his head, and if his forehead is bald, he is clean.
42 Sin autem in calvitio sive in recalvatione albus vel rufus color fuerit exortus,
But if there is a reddish-white sore on his bald head or forehead, it is an infectious disease that has broken out.
43 et hoc sacerdos viderit, condemnabit eum haud dubiæ lepræ, quæ orta est in calvitio.
Then the priest must examine him to see if the swelling of the diseased area on his bald head or forehead is reddish-white, like the appearance of an infectious disease in the skin.
44 Quicumque ergo maculatus fuerit lepra, et separatus est ad arbitrium sacerdotis,
If it is, then he has an infectious disease and he is unclean. The priest must surely pronounce him unclean because of his disease on his head.
45 habebit vestimenta dissuta, caput nudum, os veste contectum, contaminatum ac sordidum se clamabit.
The person who has an infectious disease must wear torn clothes, his hair must hang loosely, and he must cover his face up to his nose and call out, 'Unclean, unclean.'
46 Omni tempore quo leprosus est et immundus, solus habitabit extra castra.
All the days that he has the infectious disease he will be unclean. Because he is unclean with a disease that can spread, he must live alone. He must live outside the camp.
47 Vestis lanea sive linea, quæ lepram habuerit,
A garment that is contaminated with mildew, whether it is a wool or linen garment,
48 in stamine atque subtegmine, aut certe pellis, vel quidquid ex pelle confectum est,
or anything woven or knitted from wool or linen, or leather or anything made with leather—
49 si alba vel rufa macula fuerit infecta, lepra reputabitur, ostendeturque sacerdoti:
if there is a greenish or reddish contamination in the garment, the leather, the woven or knitted material, or anything made of leather, then it is a mildew that spreads; it must be shown to the priest.
50 qui consideratam recludet septem diebus:
The priest must examine the item for mildew; he must isolate anything that has mildew for seven days.
51 et die septimo rursus aspiciens, si deprehenderit crevisse, lepra perseverans est: pollutum judicabit vestimentum, et omne in quo fuerit inventa:
He must examine the mildew again on the seventh day. If it has spread in the garment or anything woven or knitted from wool or linen material, or leather or anything in which leather is used, then it is harmful mildew, and the item is unclean.
52 et idcirco comburetur flammis.
He must burn the garment, or anything woven or knitted from wool or linen material, or leather or anything made with leather, anything in which the harmful mildew is found, for it can lead to disease. The item must be completely burned up.
53 Quod si eam viderit non crevisse,
If the priest examines the item and sees that the mildew has not spread in the garment or material woven or knitted from wool or linen, or leather goods,
54 præcipiet, et lavabunt id in quo lepra est, recludetque illud septem diebus aliis.
then he will command them to wash the item in which the mildew was found, and he must isolate it for seven more days.
55 Et cum viderit faciem quidem pristinam non reversam, nec tamen crevisse lepram, immundum judicabit, et igne comburet, eo quod infusa sit in superficie vestimenti, vel per totum, lepra.
Then the priest will examine the item after the mildewed item was washed. If the mildew has not changed its color, even though it has not spread, it is unclean. You must burn the item, no matter where the mildew has contaminated it.
56 Sin autem obscurior fuerit locus lepræ, postquam vestis est lota, abrumpet eum, et a solido dividet.
If the priest examines the item, and if the mildew has faded after it was washed, then he must tear out the contaminated part from the garment or from the leather, or from the woven or knitted material.
57 Quod si ultra apparuerit in his locis, quæ prius immaculata erant, lepra volatilis et vaga, debet igne comburi.
If the mildew still appears in the garment, either in the woven or knitted material, or in anything made of leather, it is spreading. You must burn any item that has the mildew.
58 Si cessaverit, lavabit aqua ea, quæ pura sunt, secundo, et munda erunt.
The garment or anything woven or knitted from wool or linen material, or leather or anything made with leather—if you wash the item and the mildew is gone, then the item must be washed a second time, and it will be clean.
59 Ista est lex lepræ vestimenti lanei et linei, staminis, atque subtegminis, omnisque supellectilis pelliceæ, quomodo mundari debeat, vel contaminari.
This is the law about mildew in a garment of wool or linen, or anything woven or knitted from wool or linen material, or leather or anything made with leather, so that you may pronounce it clean or unclean.”
