Leviticus 13

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	VULGATA
1 And the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying:	1 Locutusque est Dominus ad Moysen, et Aaron, dicens :
2 The man in whose skin or flesh there will have arisen a diverse color, or a pustule, or something that seems to shine, which is the mark of leprosy, shall be brought to Aaron the priest, or to anyone you wish among his sons.	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.
3 And if he sees that leprosy is in his skin, and that the hair has turned a white color, and that the place where the leprosy appears is lower than the rest of the skin and the flesh, then it is the mark of leprosy, and at his judgment he shall be separated.	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.
4 But if there will be a shining whiteness in the skin, but it is not lower than the rest of the flesh, and the hair is of unaffected color, the priest shall seclude him for seven days.	4 Sin autem lucens candor fuerit in cute, nec humilior carne reliqua, et pili coloris pristini, recludet eum sacerdos septem diebus :
5 And on the seventh day he shall examine him, and if the leprosy certainly has not increased further, and has not spread itself in the skin, he shall seclude him again, for another 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.
6 And on the seventh day, he shall evaluate him. If the leprosy has become obscured, and has not increased in the skin, he shall declare him clean, because it is a scab. And the man shall wash his clothes, and he shall be clean.	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.
7 But if the leprosy increases again, after he was seen by the priest and restored to cleanness, he shall be brought to him,	7 Quod si postquam a sacerdote visus est, et redditus munditiæ, iterum lepra creverit : adducetur ad eum,
8 and he shall be condemned of uncleanness.	8 et immunditiæ condemnabitur.
9 If the mark of leprosy has been in a man, he shall be brought to the priest,	9 Plaga lepræ si fuerit in homine, adducetur ad sacerdotem,
10 and he shall look upon him. And when there is a white color in the skin, and it has an altered appearance in its hair, and also the same flesh seems alive,	10 et videbit eum. Cumque color albus in cute fuerit, et capillorum mutaverit aspectum, ipsa quoque caro viva apparuerit :
11 it shall be judged a chronic leprosy, which has grown into the skin. And so the priest shall declare him contaminated, and he shall not seclude him, because he is clearly unclean.	11 lepra vetustissima judicabitur, atque inolita cuti. Contaminabit itaque eum sacerdos, et non recludet, quia perspicuæ immunditiæ est.
12 But if the leprosy will have flourished, coursing through the skin, and will have covered all the skin from the head even to the feet, whatever falls under the sight of the eyes,	12 Sin autem effloruerit discurrens lepra in cute, et operuerit omnem cutem a capite usque ad pedes, quidquid sub aspectum oculorum cadit,
13 the priest shall examine him, and he shall judge that the leprosy that he possesses is very clean, because it has all turned to whiteness, and for this reason the man shall be clean.	13 considerabit eum sacerdos, et teneri lepra mundissima judicabit : eo quod omnis in candorem versa sit, et idcirco homo mundus erit.
14 Yet truly, when the living flesh shall appear in him,	14 Quando vero caro vivens in eo apparuerit,
15 then by the judgment of the priest he shall be polluted, and he shall be considered to be among the unclean. For the live flesh, if it is spotted with leprosy, is unclean.	15 tunc sacerdotis judicio polluetur, et inter immundos reputabitur : caro enim viva, si lepra aspergitur, immunda est.
16 And if again it will have turned into whiteness, and will have covered the entire man,	16 Quod si rursum versa fuerit in alborem, et totum hominem operuerit,
17 the priest shall examine him, and he shall discern him to be clean.	17 considerabit eum sacerdos, et mundum esse decernet.
18 But when there has been an ulcer in the flesh and the skin, and it has healed,	18 Caro autem et cutis in qua ulcus natum est, et sanatum,
19 and in the place of the ulcer, there appears a white or reddish scar, the man shall be brought to the priest.	19 et in loco ulceris cicatrix alba apparuerit, sive subrufa, adducetur homo ad sacerdotem.
20 And when he will have seen the place of the leprosy lower than the rest of the flesh, and that the hair has turned white, he shall declare him contaminated. For the plague of leprosy has arisen from the ulcer.	20 Qui cum viderit locum lepræ humiliorem carne reliqua, et pilos versos in candorem, contaminabit eum : plaga enim lepræ orta est in ulcere.
21 But if the hair is of the usual color, and the scar is somewhat obscure and is not lower than the nearby flesh, he shall seclude him for seven days.	21 Quod si pilus coloris est pristini, et cicatrix subobscura, et vicina carne non est humilior, recludet eum septem diebus :
22 And if it will have certainly increased, he shall judge him to have leprosy.	22 et si quidem creverit, adjudicabit eum lepræ ;
23 But if it stays in its place, it is the scar of an ulcer, and the man shall be clean.	23 sin autem steterit in loco suo, ulceris est cicatrix, et homo mundus erit.
24 But if flesh and skin has been burned by fire, and, having been healed, now has a white or red scar,	24 Caro autem et cutis, quam ignis exusserit, et sanata albam sive rufam habuerit cicatricem,
25 the priest shall examine it, and if he sees that it has turned white, and that its place is lower than the rest of the skin, he shall declare him contaminated, for the mark of leprosy has arisen in the scar.	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.
26 But if the color of the hair has not been changed, nor is the mark lower than the rest of the flesh, and the leprosy itself appears to be somewhat obscure, he shall seclude him for seven days,	26 Quod si pilorum color non fuerit immutatus, nec humilior plaga carne reliqua, et ipsa lepræ species fuerit subobscura, recludet eum septem diebus,
27 and on the seventh day he shall evaluate him. If the leprosy will have increased further in the skin, he shall declare him contaminated.	27 et die septimo contemplabitur : si creverit in cute lepra, contaminabit eum.
28 But if the whiteness stays in its place and is not very clear, it is the mark of a burn, and for this reason he shall be declared clean, because it is only the scar from a burn.	28 Sin autem in loco suo candor steterit non satis clarus, plaga combustionis est, et idcirco mundabitur, quia cicatrix est combusturæ.
29 If leprosy will have sprung up in the head or the beard of a man or woman, the priest shall look upon them,	29 Vir, sive mulier, in cujus capite vel barba germinaverit lepra, videbit eos sacerdos.
30 and if the place is certainly lower than the rest of the flesh, and the hair is golden, and thinner than usual, he shall declare them contaminated, because it is the leprosy of the head and the beard.	30 Et si quidem humilior fuerit locus carne reliqua, et capillus flavus, solitoque subtilior, contaminabit eos, quia lepra capitis ac barbæ est.
31 But if he sees that the place of the spot is equal with the nearby flesh, and that the hair is black, he shall seclude him for seven days,	31 Sin autem viderit locum maculæ æqualem vicinæ carni, et capillum nigrum : recludet eum septem diebus,
32 and on the seventh day he shall examine it. If the spot has not increased, and the hair has kept its color, and the place of the mark is equal with the rest of the flesh,	32 et die septimo intuebitur. Si non creverit macula, et capillus sui coloris est, et locus plagæ carni reliquæ æqualis :
33 the man shall be shaven, except in the place of the spot, and he shall be secluded for another seven days.	33 radetur homo absque loco maculæ, et includetur septem diebus aliis.
34 On the seventh day, if the mark seems to have stayed in its place, and it is not lower than the rest of the flesh, he shall declare him clean, and, his clothes having been washed, he shall be clean.	34 Si die septimo visa fuerit stetisse plaga in loco suo, nec humilior carne reliqua, mundabit eum : lotisque vestibus suis, mundus erit.
35 But if, after his cleansing, the spot will have increased again in the skin,	35 Sin autem post emundationem rursus creverit macula in cute,
36 he shall no longer inquire as to whether the hair has turned yellow, because he is plainly unclean.	36 non quæret amplius utrum capillus in flavum colorem sit immutatus, quia aperte immundus est.
37 Furthermore, if the spot has not increased, and the hair is black, let him know that the man is healed: and let him confidently pronounce him clean.	37 Porro si steterit macula, et capilli nigri fuerint, noverit hominem sanatum esse, et confidenter eum pronuntiet mundum.
38 If a whiteness will have appeared in the skin of a man or a woman,	38 Vir, sive mulier, in cujus cute candor apparuerit,
39 the priest shall examine them. If he detects an obscured whiteness shining in the skin, may he know that it is not leprosy, but a white-colored blemish, and that the man is clean.	39 intuebitur eos sacerdos. Si deprehenderit subobscurum alborem lucere in cute, sciat non esse lepram, sed maculam coloris candidi, et hominem mundum.
40 The man whose hair falls off of his head is bald and clean.	40 Vir, de cujus capite capilli fluunt, calvus et mundus est :
41 And if the hair falls off of his forehead, he is bald in front and clean.	41 et si a fronte ceciderint pili, recalvaster et mundus est.
42 But if in the bald head or bald forehead there has arisen a white or reddish color,	42 Sin autem in calvitio sive in recalvatione albus vel rufus color fuerit exortus,
43 and the priest will have seen this, he shall condemn him without doubt of leprosy, which has arisen in the baldness.	43 et hoc sacerdos viderit, condemnabit eum haud dubiæ lepræ, quæ orta est in calvitio.
44 Therefore, whoever will have been spotted by leprosy, and who has been separated at the judgment of the priest,	44 Quicumque ergo maculatus fuerit lepra, et separatus est ad arbitrium sacerdotis,
45 shall have his clothes unstitched, his head bare, his mouth covered with a cloth, and he himself shall cry out that he is contaminated and filthy.	45 habebit vestimenta dissuta, caput nudum, os veste contectum, contaminatum ac sordidum se clamabit.
46 The entire time that he is a leper and unclean he shall live alone outside the camp.	46 Omni tempore quo leprosus est et immundus, solus habitabit extra castra.
47 A woolen or linen garment that will have held the leprosy,	47 Vestis lanea sive linea, quæ lepram habuerit,
48 in the main fibers or in any of the threads, or certainly in a skin, or whatever has been made from a skin,	48 in stamine atque subtegmine, aut certe pellis, vel quidquid ex pelle confectum est,
49 if it has been infected with a white or red spot, it shall be considered to be leprosy, and it shall be shown to the priest.	49 si alba vel rufa macula fuerit infecta, lepra reputabitur, ostendeturque sacerdoti :
50 And he, having examined it, shall close it up for seven days.	50 qui consideratam recludet septem diebus :
51 And on the seventh day, having looked at it again, if he detects an increase, it is a persistent leprosy; he shall judge the garment to be polluted, along with everything with which it has been found.	51 et die septimo rursus aspiciens, si deprehenderit crevisse, lepra perseverans est : pollutum judicabit vestimentum, et omne in quo fuerit inventa :
52 And because of this, it shall be burned in flames.	52 et idcirco comburetur flammis.
53 But if he will have seen that it has not increased,	53 Quod si eam viderit non crevisse,
54 he shall instruct them, and they shall wash whatever has the leprosy in it, and he shall close it up for another seven days.	54 præcipiet, et lavabunt id in quo lepra est, recludetque illud septem diebus aliis.
55 And when he will have seen that the former appearance has not returned, even if the leprosy has not increased, he shall judge it to be unclean, and he shall burn it with fire, for the leprosy has been infused in the exterior of the garment, or throughout the whole.	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.
56 But if the place of the leprosy has become somewhat darker, after the garment has been washed, he shall tear it away, and separate it from the part that is sound.	56 Sin autem obscurior fuerit locus lepræ, postquam vestis est lota, abrumpet eum, et a solido dividet.
57 But if, after this, there will appear in those places which before were immaculate, a flying and wandering leprosy, it must be burned with fire.	57 Quod si ultra apparuerit in his locis, quæ prius immaculata erant, lepra volatilis et vaga, debet igne comburi.
58 If it will have ceased, he shall wash with water the parts which are pure for a second time, and they shall be clean.	58 Si cessaverit, lavabit aqua ea, quæ pura sunt, secundo, et munda erunt.
59 This is the law about leprosy for any woolen or linen garment, in the weave and in the threads, and for all items made from skins, how it must be declared either clean or contaminated.	59 Ista est lex lepræ vestimenti lanei et linei, staminis, atque subtegminis, omnisque supellectilis pelliceæ, quomodo mundari debeat, vel contaminari.
