Levitike 13

1 Yawe alobaki na Moyize mpe Aron:

And the LORD spoke unto Moses and Aaron, saying,

2 « Soki poso ya nzoto ya moto ebimisi bambuma ya mike-mike to esali kolokoto to lipalata, bongo ezwi lolenge ya bokono ya maba, bakomema moto yango epai ya Nganga-Nzambe Aron to epai ya moko kati na bana na ye, Banganga-Nzambe.

When a man shall have in the skin of his flesh a rising, a scab, or bright spot, and it be in the skin of his flesh like the plague of leprosy; then he shall be brought unto Aaron the priest, or unto one of his sons the priests:

3 Nganga-Nzambe akotala malamu poso ya nzoto oyo esili kozwa bokono. Soki amoni ete bapwale oyo ezali na esika oyo ezwi bokono na poso ebongwani mpe ekomi pembe; bongo bapota efungwami na poso ya nzoto, wana elakisi ete ezali bokono ya maba; mpe Nganga-Nzambe akoki koloba mbala moko ete moto yango azali mbindo.

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 be deeper than the skin of his flesh, it is a plague of leprosy: and the priest shall look on him, and pronounce him unclean.

4 Soki lipalata oyo ebimi na poso ezali ya pembe mpe ezali kongenga, bongo efungwami te mpo na kosala pota na poso ya nzoto, Nganga-Nzambe akolongola kati na lisanga, moto oyo abeli mpe akotia ye na esika oyo akozala ye moko mikolo sambo.

If the bright spot be white in the skin of his flesh, and in sight be not deeper than the skin, and the hair thereof be not turned white; then the priest shall shut up him that has the plague seven days:

5 Sima na mikolo yango sambo, Nganga-Nzambe akotala ye lisusu malamu: soki amoni ete lipalata oyo ebimaki na poso ya nzoto efungwami te mpe epanzani te na nzoto mobimba, akotika moto oyo abeli na esika oyo atiaki ye mpo ete asala lisusu mikolo sambo.

And the priest shall look on him the seventh day: and, behold, if the plague in his sight be at a stay, and the plague spread not in the skin; then the priest shall shut him up seven days more:

6 Sima na mikolo sambo yango, Nganga-Nzambe akotala ye lisusu malamu: soki lipalata oyo ebimaki na poso ya nzoto ekawuki mpe epanzani te na nzoto mobimba, Nganga-Nzambe akoloba ete moto yango azali mbindo te; ezali kolokoto ya pamba. Moto yango akosukola bilamba na ye mpo ete azali mbindo te.

And the priest shall look on him again the seventh day: and, behold, if the plague be somewhat dark, and the plague spread not in the skin, the priest shall pronounce him clean: it is but a scab: and he shall wash his clothes, and be clean.

7 Nzokande, soki sima na Nganga-Nzambe kotala mpe koloba ete moto yango azali peto, kolokoto yango epanzani na poso, moto yango asengeli kozonga epai ya Nganga-Nzambe mpo ete atala ye lisusu.

But if the scab spread much abroad in the skin, after that he has been seen of the priest for his cleansing, he shall be seen of the priest again.

8 Soki amoni ete kolokoto epanzani na poso ya nzoto, Nganga-Nzambe akoloba ete moto yango azali na bokono ya maba mpe azali mbindo.

And if the priest see that, behold, the scab spreads in the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean: it is a leprosy.

9 Soki moto azwi bokono ya maba, basengeli komema ye epai ya Nganga-Nzambe.

When the plague of leprosy is in a man, then he shall be brought unto the priest;

10 Nganga-Nzambe akotala ye malamu. Soki amoni ete poso ya nzoto na ye ebimisi bambuma ya pembe ya mike-mike, ekomisi bapwale ya nzoto na ye pembe, efungwami mpe ebimisi bapota,

And the priest shall see him: and, behold, if the rising be white in the skin, and it have turned the hair white, and there be quick raw flesh in the rising;

11 wana elakisi ete ezali bokono ya maba ya libela kati na poso ya nzoto na ye, mpe Nganga-Nzambe akoloba ete moto yango azali mbindo. Ekozala na tina te kotia ye na esika oyo akozala ye moko, pamba te emonani ete azali mbindo.

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.

12 Kasi soki bokono na ye ya maba ebimisi bambuma ya mike-mike na poso ya nzoto na ye mobimba, kobanda na moto kino na makolo, na bisika nyonso oyo Nganga-Nzambe akoki kotala,

And if a leprosy break out abroad in the skin, and the leprosy cover all the skin of him that has the plague from his head even to his foot, where ever the priest looks;

13 Nganga-Nzambe akotala ye lisusu malamu: soki amoni ete bambuma ya mike-mike etondi ye penza na nzoto mobimba, akoloba ete moto yango azali mbindo te mpo ete akomi pembe nzoto mobimba.

Then the priest shall consider: and, behold, if the leprosy have covered all his flesh, he shall pronounce him clean that has the plague: it is all turned white: he is clean.

14 Kasi akokoma mbindo na mokolo kaka poso ya nzoto na ye ekofungwama mpe ekobimisa bapota.

But when raw flesh appears in him, he shall be unclean.

15 Soki kaka Nganga-Nzambe atali mpe amoni bapota oyo ebimi na poso, akoloba ete moto yango azali mbindo mpe bapota oyo efungwami ezali mbindo: ezali bokono ya maba.

And the priest shall see the raw flesh, and pronounce him to be unclean: for the raw flesh is unclean: it is a leprosy.

16 Mpe soki bapota oyo efungwami ekomi lisusu pembe, moto yango akozonga lisusu epai ya Nganga-Nzambe

Or if the raw flesh return, and be changed unto white, he shall come unto the priest;

17 mpo ete atala ye malamu. Soki Nganga-Nzambe amoni ete bapota yango ekomi penza pembe, akoloba ete nzoto ezali mbindo te mpe ye moko moto yango azali mbindo te.

And the priest shall see him: and, behold, if the plague be turned into white; then the priest shall pronounce him clean that has the plague: he is clean.

18 Soki moto moko abelaki bibon mpe yango ekawuki;

The flesh also, in which, even in the skin thereof, was a boil, and is healed,

19 bongo bambuma mike-mike ya pembe to lipalata ya mwa pembe mpe mwa motane ebimi na esika oyo bibon ezalaki, moto yango asengeli kokende epai ya Nganga-Nzambe oyo akotala ye malamu.

And in the place of the boil there be a white rising, or a bright spot, white, and somewhat reddish, and it be showed to the priest;

20 Soki Nganga-Nzambe amoni ete lidusu moko esalemi na poso ya nzoto ya moto wana, bapwale na ye ebongwani mpe ekomi pembe, akoloba ete moto yango azali mbindo, pamba te ezali bokono ya maba oyo ebimi na esika oyo elembo ya pota ya bibon ezali.

And if, when the priest sees it, behold, it be in sight lower than the skin, and the hair thereof be turned white; the priest shall pronounce him unclean: it is a plague of leprosy broken out of the boil.

21 Nzokande, soki na ngonga ya kotala ye, Nganga-Nzambe amoni te bapwale ya moto yango kobongwana pembe mpe lidusu kosalema na poso na ye, akotia ye na esika oyo akozala ye moko mpo na mikolo sambo.

But if the priest look on it, and, behold, there be no white hairs therein, and if it be not lower than the skin, but be somewhat dark; then the priest shall shut him up seven days:

22 Sima na yango, soki Nganga-Nzambe amoni ete lipalata yango epanzani na poso ya nzoto, akoloba ete moto yango azali mbindo, pamba te azali na bokono ya maba.

And if it spread much abroad in the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean: it is a plague.

23 Kasi soki lipalata yango epanzani te, wana elakisi ete ezali bobele elembo ya pota ya bibon; mpe Nganga-Nzambe akoloba ete moto yango azali na ye mbindo te.

But if the bright spot stay in his place, and spread not, it is a burning boil; and the priest shall pronounce him clean.

24 Soki poso ya nzoto ya moto moko eziki na moto, bongo litono moko ya pembe to ya motane esalemi kati na esika oyo eziki,

Or if there be any flesh, in the skin whereof there is a hot burning, and the quick flesh that burns have a white bright spot, somewhat reddish, or white;

25 Nganga-Nzambe akotala moto yango malamu: soki bapwale oyo ezali kati na litono ebongwani, ekomi pembe mpe litono yango kati na poso ebongwani, esali pota: elakisi ete ezali bokono ya maba nde ebimi na esika oyo ezikaki. Boye, Nganga-Nzambe akoloba ete moto yango azali mbindo, pamba te azali na bokono ya maba.

Then the priest shall look upon it: and, behold, if the hair in the bright spot be turned white, and it be in sight deeper than the skin; it is a leprosy broken out of the burning: wherefore the priest shall pronounce him unclean: it is the plague of leprosy.

26 Nzokande, soki tango Nganga-Nzambe atali moto yango malamu, amoni te bapwale ya pembe kati na litono; mpe soki litono ebongwani te, esali na yango pota te na poso mpe epanzani te; akotia ye na esika oyo akozala ye moko mpo na mikolo sambo.

But if the priest look on it, and, behold, there be no white hair in the bright spot, and it be no lower than the other skin, but be somewhat dark; then the priest shall shut him up seven days:

27 Na mokolo ya sambo, Nganga-Nzambe akotala ye malamu: soki litono epanzani solo na poso, Nganga-Nzambe akoloba ete moto yango azali mbindo, pamba te ezali bokono ya maba.

And the priest shall look upon him the seventh day: and if it be spread much abroad in the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean: it is the plague of leprosy.

28 Nzokande, soki litono yango etikali kaka esika moko, epanzani te na poso kasi ekawuki, wana etalisi ete ezali kaka kobeba ya poso ya nzoto mpo na kozika na ye na moto. Boye Nganga-Nzambe akoloba ete azali mbindo te, pamba te ezali kaka elembo ya pota ya moto.

And if the bright spot stay in his place, and spread not in the skin, but it be somewhat dark; it is a rising of the burning, and the priest shall pronounce him clean: for it is an inflammation of the burning.

29 Soki mobali to mwasi abeli bokono ya poso ya nzoto, ezala na moto to na mbanga,

If a man or woman have a plague upon the head or the beard;

30 Nganga-Nzambe akotala malamu poso ya nzoto ya moto yango: soki amoni ete bapota ebimi na poso ya nzoto ya moto yango, bapwale eteli mpe kotela na yango epanzani, akoloba ete mobali to mwasi yango azali mbindo, pamba te ezali lipalata ya moto to ya mbanga.

Then the priest shall see the plague: and, behold, if it be in sight deeper than the skin; and there be in it a yellow thin hair; then the priest shall pronounce him unclean: it is a dry scab, even a leprosy upon the head or beard.

31 Nzokande, soki Nganga-Nzambe amoni ete poso ya nzoto ebimisi na yango bapota te, atako bapwale ezali kaka ya mwindo, akotia ye na esika oyo akozala ye moko mpo na mikolo sambo.

And if the priest look on the plague of the scab, and, behold, it be not in sight deeper than the skin, and that there is no black hair in it; then the priest shall shut up him that has the plague of the scab seven days:

32 Na mokolo ya sambo, Nganga-Nzambe akotala malamu poso: soki bokono yango epanzani te, bapwale eteli te, bapota ebimi te na poso,

And in the seventh day the priest shall look on the plague: and, behold, if the scab spread not, and there be in it no yellow hair, and the scab be not in sight deeper than the skin;

33 mobeli akokokola suki na ye kasi akotika suki oyo ezali na bisika oyo bokono emonani. Bongo Nganga-Nzambe akotia lisusu mobeli na esika oyo akozala ye moko mpo na mikolo sambo.

He shall be shaven, but the scab shall he not shave; and the priest shall shut up him that has the scab seven days more:

34 Na mokolo ya sambo, Nganga-Nzambe akotala malamu bokono yango ya poso ya nzoto: soki epanzani te mpe ebimisi bapota te, Nganga-Nzambe akoloba ete mobali to mwasi yango azali mbindo te. Boye mobali to mwasi yango akosukola kaka bilamba na ye mpe akokoma peto.

And in the seventh day the priest shall look on the scab: and, behold, if the scab be not spread in the skin, nor be in sight deeper than the skin; then the priest shall pronounce him clean: and he shall wash his clothes, and be clean.

35 Nzokande, atako Nganga-Nzambe asili koloba ete mobali to mwasi wana azali peto kasi soki bokono yango epanzani ye kaka na poso ya nzoto,

But if the scab spread much in the skin after his cleansing;

36 Nganga-Nzambe akotala malamu: lokola bokono epanzani ye penza na poso ya nzoto, ekozala na tina te ete Nganga-Nzambe aluka lisusu koyeba soki bapwale eteli to te, pamba te mobali to mwasi yango azali penza mbindo.

Then the priest shall look on him: and, behold, if the scab be spread in the skin, the priest shall not seek for yellow hair; he is unclean.

37 Nzokande, soki bokono epanzani na yango te mpe bapwale ya mwindo ebimi na bisika oyo bokono ezali, wana elakisi ete mobeli abiki na bokono na ye mpe azali peto: Nganga-Nzambe akoloba ete azali peto.

But if the scab be in his sight at a stay, and that there is black hair grown up therein; the scab is healed, he is clean: and the priest shall pronounce him clean.

38 Soki mobali to mwasi amoni matono ya pembe kobima na poso ya nzoto na ye,

If a man also or a woman have in the skin of their flesh bright spots, even white bright spots;

39 Nganga-Nzambe akotala ye malamu: soki pembe ya matono yango ezali na yango ya pete, wana elakisi ete ezali na yango penza bokono te: moto yango azali peto.

Then the priest shall look: and, behold, if the bright spots in the skin of their flesh be darkish white; it is a freckled spot that grows in the skin; he is clean.

40 Soki suki ya mobali moko ekatani, bongo akomi na libandi, elakisi te ete akomi mbindo.

And the man whose hair is fallen off his head, he is bald; yet is he clean.

41 Soki suki yango ekataneli ye na mbunzu, bongo akomi na libandi, wana elakisi ete azali peto.

And he that has his hair fallen off from the part of his head toward his face, he is forehead bald: yet is he clean.

42 Kasi soki lipalata moko ya mwa pembe mpe ya mwa motane ebimi ye na libandi, ezala na dikosi to na mbunzu, wana elakisi ete bokono ya maba ebandi kobima ye na libandi.

And if there be in the bald head, or bald forehead, a white reddish sore; it is a leprosy sprung up in his bald head, or his bald forehead.

43 Nganga-Nzambe akotala ye malamu: soki amoni ete bokono yango ya maba ebandi kobimisa bambuma ya mike-mike ya mwa pembe mpe ya mwa motane, ezala na dikosi to na mbunzu; wana elakisi ete azali na bokono ya maba na libandi.

Then the priest shall look upon it: and, behold, if the rising of the sore be white reddish in his bald head, or in his bald forehead, as the leprosy appears in the skin of the flesh;

44 Boye mobali yango azali na bokono ya maba, azali mbindo; mpe Nganga-Nzambe asengeli koloba ete azali mbindo mpo na bokono oyo akomi na yango na moto.

He is a leprous man, he is unclean: the priest shall pronounce him utterly unclean; his plague is in his head.

45 Moto oyo azwi bokono ya boye asengeli kolata bilamba epasuka, akokatisa suki te, akozipa mandefu na ye mpe akoganga: ‹ Mbindo! Mbindo! ›

And the leper in whom the plague is, his clothes shall be rent, and his head bare, and he shall put a covering upon his upper lip, and shall cry, Unclean, unclean.

46 Lokola bokono oyo akomi na yango ezali mbindo, ye moko mpe akozala mbindo. Boye akotonga ndako na ye mosika na bato mpe akovanda libanda ya molako.

All the days wherein the plague shall be in him he shall be defiled; he is unclean: he shall dwell alone; without the camp shall his habitation be.

47 Soki elamba ya kolata ezwi mbungi, ebebi mpe ekomi lokola nzoto ya moto oyo abeli bokono ya maba, ezala elamba basala na lino to na bapwale ya meme

The garment also that the plague of leprosy is in, whether it be a woolen garment, or a linen garment;

48 to elamba ya pete to elamba ya lino mpo na komibatela na malili to elamba basala na bapwale ya meme to mpe ezala mbungi yango emonani na likolo ya eloko basala na kapo ya pete to na kapo ya makasi,

Whether it be in the warp, or woof; of linen, or of woolen; whether in a skin, or in any thing made of skin;

49 soki mbungi yango ezwi langi ya mayi ya pondu to ezwi langi ya motane, na likolo ya elamba, wana elakisi ete ezali litono ya maba; boye basengeli komema yango epai ya Nganga-Nzambe mpo ete atala yango malamu.

And if the plague be 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 showed unto the priest:

50 Sima na Nganga-Nzambe kotala yango malamu, akotia yango na esika oyo ekozala yango moko mpo na mikolo sambo.

And the priest shall look upon the plague, and shut up it that has the plague seven days:

51 Na mokolo ya sambo, Nganga-Nzambe akotala lisusu malamu litono yango. Soki amoni ete epanzani na likolo ya elamba ya kolata, ya elamba ya pamba, ya elamba ya malili to na likolo ya kapo; wana elakisi ete ezali litono ya bokono ya maba oyo bakoki kolongola te mpe elakisi lisusu ete elamba yango ezali mbindo.

And he shall look on the plague on the seventh day: if the plague be 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 a fretting leprosy; it is unclean.

52 Boye basengeli kotumba elamba yango, atako ezali ndenge nini, pamba te ezali na litono oyo bakoki kolongola te: basengeli kotumba yango.

He shall therefore burn that garment, whether warp or woof, in woolen or in linen, or any thing of skin, wherein the plague is: for it is a fretting leprosy; it shall be burnt in the fire.

53 Nzokande, soki sima na kotala elamba yango malamu, Nganga-Nzambe amoni ete litono epanzani te na likolo ya elamba yango to na likolo ya kapo,

And if the priest shall look, and, behold, the plague be not spread in the garment, either in the warp, or in the woof, or in any thing of skin;

54 Nganga-Nzambe akopesa mitindo ete basukola yango; bongo akotia yango lisusu na esika oyo ekozala yango moko mpo na mikolo sambo.

Then the priest shall command that they wash the thing wherein the plague is, and he shall shut it up seven days more:

55 Sima na kosukola yango, Nganga-Nzambe akotala lisusu malamu litono; soki amoni ete ebongwani te mpe epanzani na yango te, wana elakisi ete elamba ezali mbindo mpe esengeli kotumba yango na moto: ezali elamba oyo ebebi na liboso mpe na sima.

And the priest shall look on the plague, after that it is washed: and, behold, if the plague have not changed his colour, and the plague be not spread; it is unclean; you shall burn it in the fire; it is fret inward, whether it be bare within or without.

56 Nzokande, soki Nganga-Nzambe, sima na kotala malamu elamba, amoni ete litono elongwaki na tango basukolaki elamba; akokata kaka eteni ya elamba epai wapi litono ezali.

And if the priest look, and, behold, the plague be 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:

57 Soki sima na mwa tango, litono yango ezongi lisusu, wana elakisi ete ezali bokono ya maba oyo ezali kokola. Boye esengeli kotumba na moto eteni oyo ezali na litono na elamba.

And if it appear still in the garment, either in the warp, or in the woof, or in any thing of skin; it is a spreading plague: you shall burn that wherein the plague is with fire.

58 Tango bakosukola elamba oyo ezali na litono, soki litono yango elongwe, esengeli kosukola yango lisusu na mbala ya mibale mpo ete ezala peto. »

And the garment, either warp, or woof, or whatsoever thing of skin it be, which you shall wash, if the plague be departed from them, then it shall be washed the second time, and shall be clean.

59 Wana nde mitindo oyo etali litono ya bokono ya maba na likolo ya elamba basala na bapwale ya meme to elamba ya lino, na likolo ya eloko nyonso basala na poso ya nyama, mpo na koyeba soki elamba ezali peto to mbindo.

This is the law of the plague of leprosy in a garment of woolen or linen, either in the warp, or woof, or any thing of skins, to pronounce it clean, or to pronounce it unclean.
