Leviticus 14

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	VULGATA
1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:	1 Locutusque est Dominus ad Moysen, dicens :
2 This is the rite for a leper, when he is to be cleansed. He shall be brought to the priest,	2 Hic est ritus leprosi, quando mundandus est. Adducetur ad sacerdotem :
3 who, departing from the camp, when he has found the leprosy to be cleansed,	3 qui egressus de castris, cum invenerit lepram esse mundatam,
4 shall instruct him who is to be purified to offer for himself two living sparrows, which it is lawful to eat, and cedar wood, and vermillion, and hyssop.	4 præcipiet ei, qui purificatur, ut offerat duos passeres vivos pro se, quibus vesci licitum est, et lignum cedrinum, vermiculumque et hyssopum.
5 And he shall order that one of the sparrows be immolated in an earthen vessel over living waters.	5 Et unum ex passeribus immolari jubebit in vase fictili super aquas viventes :
6 But the other living one, with the cedar wood, and the scarlet, and the hyssop, he shall dip in the blood of the immolated sparrow.	6 alium autem vivum cum ligno cedrino, et cocco et hyssopo, tinget in sanguine passeris immolati,
7 And he shall sprinkle him who is to be cleansed seven times, so that he may be purified justly. And he shall release the living sparrow, so that it may fly away into the field.	7 quo asperget illum, qui mundandus est, septies, ut jure purgetur : et dimittet passerem vivum, ut in agrum avolet.
8 And when the man will have washed his clothes, he shall shave all the hair from his body, and he shall be washed with water. And having been purified, he shall enter into the camp, only to this extent: that he may remain outside his own tent for seven days.	8 Cumque laverit homo vestimenta sua, radet omnes pilos corporis, et lavabitur aqua : purificatusque ingredietur castra, ita dumtaxat ut maneat extra tabernaculum suum septem diebus,
9 And on the seventh day he shall shave the hair of his head, and his beard, and his eyebrows, as well as the hair of his entire body. And having washed his clothes again, and his body,	9 et die septimo radet capillos capitis, barbamque et supercilia, ac totius corporis pilos. Et lotis rursum vestibus et corpore,
10 on the eighth day, he shall take two immaculate lambs, and a one-year-old female sheep without blemish, and three tenths of fine wheat flour, which has been sprinkled with oil, as a sacrifice, and separately, one twelfth hin of oil.	10 die octavo assumet duos agnos immaculatos, et ovem anniculam absque macula, et tres decimas similæ in sacrificium, quæ conspersa sit oleo, et seorsum olei sextarium.
11 And when the priest purifying the man has presented him and all these things in the sight of the Lord at the door of the tabernacle of the testimony,	11 Cumque sacerdos purificans hominem, statuerit eum, et hæc omnia coram Domino in ostio tabernaculi testimonii,
12 he shall take a lamb and offer it for transgression, with the twelfth hin of oil. And having offered all these before the Lord,	12 tollet agnum et offeret eum pro delicto, oleique sextarium : et oblatis ante Dominum omnibus,
13 he shall immolate the lamb, where the victim for sin is usually immolated with the holocaust, that is, in the holy place. For just as with the one for sin, so also the victim for transgression belongs to the priest. It is the Holy of holies.	13 immolabit agnum, ubi solet immolari hostia pro peccato, et holocaustum, id est, in loco sancto. Sicut enim pro peccato, ita et pro delicto ad sacerdotem pertinet hostia : Sancta sanctorum est.
14 And taking some of the blood of the victim, which was immolated for transgression, the priest shall place it upon the tip of the right ear of him who is being cleansed, and upon the thumb of his right hand, and likewise the foot.	14 Assumensque sacerdos de sanguine hostiæ, quæ immolata est pro delicto, ponet super extremum auriculæ dextræ ejus qui mundatur, et super pollices manus dextræ et pedis :
15 And he shall send some of the twelfth hin of oil into his own left hand,	15 et de olei sextario mittet in manum suam sinistram,
16 and he shall dip his right finger in it, and he shall sprinkle it in the sight of the Lord seven times.	16 tingetque digitum dextrum in eo, et asperget coram Domino septies.
17 But the oil which remains in his left hand, he shall pour over the tip of the right ear of him who is being cleansed, and upon the thumb of his right hand as well as the foot, and upon the blood which was shed for transgression,	17 Quod autem reliquum est olei in læva manu, fundet super extremum auriculæ dextræ ejus qui mundatur, et super pollices manus ac pedis dextri, et super sanguinem qui effusus est pro delicto,
18 and upon his head.	18 et super caput ejus.
19 And he shall pray for him in the sight of the Lord, and he shall accomplish the sacrifice on behalf of sin. Then he shall immolate the holocaust,	19 Rogabitque pro eo coram Domino, et faciet sacrificium pro peccato : tunc immolabit holocaustum,
20 and place it upon the altar with its libations, and the man will be duly cleansed.	20 et ponet illud in altari cum libamentis suis, et homo rite mundabitur.
21 But if he is poor, and his hand is not able to find what has been said, he shall take a lamb as an offering for transgression, so that the priest may pray for him, and a tenth part of fine wheat flour sprinkled with oil, as a sacrifice, and a twelfth hin of oil,	21 Quod si pauper est, et non potest manus ejus invenire quæ dicta sunt pro delicto, assumet agnum ad oblationem, ut roget pro eo sacerdos, decimamque partem similæ conspersæ oleo in sacrificium, et olei sextarium,
22 and two turtledoves or two young pigeons, of which one may be for sin, and the other as a holocaust.	22 duosque turtures sive duos pullos columbæ, quorum unus sit pro peccato, et alter in holocaustum :
23 And he shall offer them on the eighth day of his purification to the priest at the door of the tabernacle of the testimony in the sight of the Lord.	23 offeretque ea die octavo purificationis suæ sacerdoti, ad ostium tabernaculi testimonii coram Domino.
24 And he, receiving the lamb for transgression, and the twelfth hin of oil, shall lift them up together.	24 Qui suscipiens agnum pro delicto et sextarium olei, levabit simul :
25 And when the lamb has been immolated, he shall place some of its blood upon the tip of the right ear of him who is being cleansed, and upon the thumb of his right hand, as well as the foot.	25 immolatoque agno, de sanguine ejus ponet super extremum auriculæ dextræ illius qui mundatur, et super pollices manus ejus ac pedis dextri :
26 Yet truly, he shall send part of the oil into his own left hand,	26 olei vero partem mittet in manum suam sinistram,
27 and dipping the finger of his right hand in it, he shall sprinkle it seven times before the Lord.	27 in quo tingens digitum dextræ manus asperget septies coram Domino :
28 And he shall touch the tip of the right ear of him who is being cleansed, and the thumb of his right hand, as well as the foot, in the place of the blood which was shed for transgression.	28 tangetque extremum dextræ auriculæ illius qui mundatur, et pollices manus ac pedis dextri, in loco sanguinis qui effusus est pro delicto :
29 But the remaining part of the oil which is in his left hand, he shall send upon the head of the one being purified, to appease the Lord on his behalf.	29 reliquam autem partem olei, quæ est in sinistra manu, mittet super caput purificati, ut placet pro eo Dominum :
30 And he shall offer a turtledove or a young pigeon,	30 et turturem sive pullum columbæ offeret,
31 one for transgression, and the other as a holocaust, with their libations.	31 unum pro delicto, et alterum in holocaustum cum libamentis suis.
32 This is the sacrifice of a leper, who is not able to obtain all of the things concerning his cleansing.	32 Hoc est sacrificium leprosi, qui habere non potest omnia in emundationem sui.
33 And the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying:	33 Locutusque est Dominus ad Moysen et Aaron, dicens :
34 When you will have entered into the land of Canaan, which I will give to you as a possession, if there is the mark of leprosy in a building,	34 Cum ingressi fueritis terram Chanaan, quam ego dabo vobis in possessionem, si fuerit plaga lepræ in ædibus,
35 he whose house it is shall go and report to the priest, saying: “It seems to me that the mark of leprosy is in my house.”	35 ibit cujus est domus, nuntians sacerdoti, et dicet : Quasi plaga lepræ videtur mihi esse in domo mea.
36 And he shall instruct them to carry all things out of the house, before he would enter it and see whether it is leprosy, lest all that is in the house become unclean. And after this, he shall enter to examine the leprosy of the house.	36 At ille præcipiet ut efferant universa de domo, priusquam ingrediatur eam, et videat utrum leprosa sit, ne immunda fiant omnia quæ in domo sunt. Intrabitque postea ut consideret lepram domus :
37 And when he will have seen in its walls something like little hollows, deformed with paleness or redness, and lower than the remaining surface,	37 et cum viderit in parietibus illius quasi valliculas pallore sive rubore deformes, et humiliores superficie reliqua,
38 he shall exit by the door of the house, and immediately close it up for seven days.	38 egredietur ostium domus, et statim claudet illam septem diebus.
39 And returning on the seventh day, he shall examine it. If he finds that the leprosy has spread,	39 Reversusque die septimo, considerabit eam : si invenerit crevisse lepram,
40 he shall order the stones in which the leprosy is, to be dug out and cast outside the city in an unclean place,	40 jubebit erui lapides in quibus lepra est, et projici eos extra civitatem in locum immundum :
41 and that the house be scraped on the inside all around, and that the dust of the scrapings be scattered outside the city in an unclean place,	41 domum autem ipsam radi intrinsecus per circuitum, et spargi pulverem rasuræ extra urbem in locum immundum,
42 and that other stones be put back, in place of those which had been taken away, and that the house be plastered with other mortar.	42 lapidesque alios reponi pro his qui ablati fuerint, et luto alio liniri domum.
43 But if, after the stones have been dug out, and the dust wiped away, and it is plastered with other clay,	43 Sin autem postquam eruti sunt lapides, et pulvis erasus, et alia terra lita,
44 the priest, upon entering, will have seen that the leprosy has returned, and that the walls are sprinkled with spots, then it is a persistent leprosy and the house is unclean.	44 ingressus sacerdos viderit reversam lepram, et parietes respersos maculis, lepra est perseverans, et immunda domus :
45 And so they shall promptly destroy it, and shall cast its stones and timber, and also all the dust, outside the town in an unclean place.	45 quam statim destruent, et lapides ejus ac ligna, atque universum pulverem projicient extra oppidum in locum immundum.
46 Whoever enters into the house when it is closed up shall be unclean until evening.	46 Qui intraverit domum quando clausa est, immundus erit usque ad vesperum :
47 And whoever will have slept in it, or eaten anything, shall wash his clothes.	47 et qui dormierit in ea, et comederit quippiam, lavabit vestimenta sua.
48 But if the priest, upon entering, will have seen that the leprosy has not spread in the house, after it had been newly plastered, he shall purify it, restoring it to health.	48 Quod si introiens sacerdos viderit lepram non crevisse in domo, postquam denuo lita fuerit, purificabit eam reddita sanitate :
49 And for its purification, he shall take two sparrows, and cedar wood, and vermillion, as well as hyssop,	49 et in purificationem ejus sumet duos passeres, lignumque cedrinum, et vermiculum atque hyssopum :
50 and, having immolated one sparrow in an earthen vessel over living waters,	50 et immolato uno passere in vase fictili super aquas vivas,
51 he shall take the cedar wood, and the hyssop, and the scarlet, and the living sparrow, and he shall dip all these in the blood of the immolated sparrow, and also in the living water, and he shall sprinkle the house seven times.	51 tollet lignum cedrinum, et hyssopum, et coccum, et passerem vivum, et tinget omnia in sanguine passeris immolati, atque in aquis viventibus, et asperget domum septies,
52 And he shall purify it as much with the blood of the sparrow as with the living water, and with the living sparrow, and the cedar wood, and the hyssop, and the vermillion.	52 purificabitque eam tam in sanguine passeris quam in aquis viventibus, et in passere vivo, lignoque cedrino et hyssopo atque vermiculo.
53 And when he has released the sparrow to fly freely away into the field, he shall pray for the house, and it shall be justly cleansed.	53 Cumque dimiserit passerem avolare in agrum libere, orabit pro domo, et jure mundabitur.
54 This is the law of every kind of leprosy and plague:	54 Ista est lex omnis lepræ et percussuræ,
55 of the leprosy of garments and houses,	55 lepræ vestium et domorum,
56 of scars and erupting pustules, of a shining spot, when the appearance is also variegated,	56 cicatricis et erumpentium papularum, lucentis maculæ, et in varias species, coloribus immutatis,
57 so that it can be known at what time a thing is clean or unclean.	57 ut possit sciri quo tempore mundum quid, vel immundum sit.
