Levitico 13

NOVA VULGATA	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 Locutus est Dominus ad Moysen et Aaron dicens:	1 The LORD said to Moses and Aaron,
2 “ Homo, in cuius carne et cute ortus fuerit tumor sive pustula aut quasi lucens quippiam, id est plaga leprae, adducetur ad Aaron sacerdotem vel ad unum quemlibet filiorum eius sacerdotum.	2 "If someone has on his skin a scab or pustule or blotch which appears to be the sore of leprosy, he shall be brought to Aaron, the priest, or to one of the priests among his descendants,
3 Qui cum viderit plagam in cute et pilos in album mutatos colorem ipsamque speciem plagae humiliorem cute et carne reliqua: plaga leprae est; quod cum viderit sacerdos, eum immundum esse decernet.	3 who shall examine the sore on his skin. If the hair on the sore has turned white and the sore itself shows that it has penetrated below the skin, it is indeed the sore of leprosy; the priest, on seeing this, shall declare the man unclean.
4 Sin autem lucens candor fuerit in cute nec humilior carne reliqua, et pili coloris pristini, recludet eum sacerdos septem diebus.	4 If, however, the blotch on the skin is white, but does not seem to have penetrated below the skin, nor has the hair turned white, the priest shall quarantine the stricken man for seven days.
5 Et considerabit eum die septimo: et, siquidem plaga ultra non creverit nec transierit in cute priores terminos, rursum recludet eum septem diebus aliis.	5 On the seventh day the priest shall again examine him. If he judges that the sore has remained unchanged and has not spread on the skin, the priest shall quarantine him for another seven days,
6 Et die septimo contemplabitur eum iterum: si obscurior fuerit plaga et non creverit in cute, eum mundum esse decernet, quia scabies est. Lavabitque homo vestimenta sua et mundus erit.	6 and once more examine him on the seventh day. If the sore is now dying out and has not spread on the skin, the priest shall declare the man clean; it was merely eczema. The man shall wash his garments and so become clean.
7 Quod si, postquam a sacerdote visus est et redditus munditiae, iterum scabies creverit, adducetur ad eum;	7 But if, after he has shown himself to the priest to be declared clean, the eczema spreads at all on his skin, he shall once more show himself to the priest.
8 et, si viderit ita esse, immunditiae condemnabitur: est lepra.	8 Should the priest, on examining it, find that the eczema has indeed spread on the skin, he shall declare the man unclean; it is leprosy.
9 Plaga leprae si fuerit in homine, adducetur ad sacerdotem,	9 "When someone is stricken with leprosy, he shall be brought to the priest.
10 et videbit eum. Cumque tumor albus in cute fuerit et capillorum mutaverit aspectum in album, caro quoque viva creverit in tumore,	10 Should the priest, on examining him, find that there is a white scab on the skin which has turned the hair white and that there is raw flesh in it,
11 lepra vetustissima iudicabitur atque inolita cuti. Contaminabit itaque eum sacerdos et non recludet, quia perspicue immunditia est.	11 it is skin leprosy that has long developed. The priest shall declare the man unclean without first quarantining him, since he is certainly unclean.
12 Sin autem effloruerit discurrens lepra in cute et operuerit omnem cutem a capite usque ad pedes, quidquid sub aspectu oculorum cadit,	12 If leprosy breaks out on the skin and, as far as the priest can see, covers all the skin of the stricken man from head to foot,
13 considerabit eum sacerdos et teneri lepra mundissima iudicabit, eo quod omnis in candorem versa sit, et idcirco homo mundus erit.	13 should the priest then, on examining him, find that the leprosy does cover his whole body, he shall declare the stricken man clean; since it has all turned white, the man is clean.
14 Quando vero caro vivens in eo apparuerit, immundus erit.	14 But as soon as raw flesh appears on him, he is unclean;
15 Quod cum sacerdos viderit, inter immundos reputabit; caro enim viva immunda est: lepra est.	15 on observing the raw flesh, the priest shall declare him unclean, because raw flesh is unclean; it is leprosy.
16 Quod si rursum versa fuerit in alborem, veniet ad sacerdotem,	16 If, however, the raw flesh again turns white, he shall return to the priest;
17 qui cum hoc consideraverit, eum mundum esse decernet.	17 should the latter, on examining him, find that the sore has indeed turned white, he shall declare the stricken man clean, and thus he will be clean.
18 Caro et cutis, in qua ulcus natum est et sanatum,	18 "If a man who had a boil on his skin which later healed,
19 et in loco ulceris tumor apparuerit albus sive macula subrufa, ostendet se homo sacerdoti.	19 should now in the place of the boil have a white scab or a pink blotch, he shall show himself to the priest.
20 Qui cum viderit locum maculae humiliorem carne reliqua et pilos versos in candorem, contaminabit eum: plaga enim leprae orta est in ulcere.	20 If the latter, on examination, sees that it is deeper than the skin and that the hair has turned white, he shall declare the man unclean; it is the sore of leprosy that has broken out in the boil.
21 Quod si pilus coloris est pristini et cicatrix subobscura et vicina carne non est humilior, recludet eum septem diebus.	21 But if the priest, on examining him, finds that there is no white hair in it and that it is not deeper than the skin and is already dying out, the priest shall quarantine him for seven days.
22 Et, siquidem creverit, adiudicabit eum leprae;	22 If it has then spread on the skin, the priest shall declare him unclean; the man is stricken.
23 sin autem steterit in loco suo macula nec creverit, ulceris est cicatrix, et sacerdos eum mundum esse decernet.	23 But if the blotch remains in its place without spreading, it is merely the scar of the boil; the priest shall therefore declare him clean.
24 Vel si alicuius cutem ignis exusserit, et locus exustionis subrufam sive albam habuerit maculam,	24 "If a man had a burn on his skin, and the proud flesh of the burn now becomes a pink or a white blotch,
25 considerabit eam sacerdos; et ecce pilus versus est in alborem, et locus eius reliqua cute humilior, contaminabit eum, quia plaga leprae in cicatrice orta est.	25 the priest shall examine it. If the hair has turned white on the blotch and this seems to have penetrated below the skin, it is leprosy that has broken out in the burn; the priest shall therefore declare him unclean and stricken with leprosy.
26 Quod si pilorum color non fuerit immutatus, nec humilior macula carne reliqua, et ipsa leprae species fuerit subobscura, recludet eum septem diebus.	26 But if the priest, on examining it, finds that there is no white hair on the blotch and that this is not deeper than the skin and is already dying out, the priest shall quarantine him for seven days.
27 Et die septimo contemplabitur eum; si creverit in cute macula, contaminabit eum: plaga est leprae;	27 Should the priest, when examining it on the seventh day, find that it has spread at all on the skin, he shall declare the man unclean and stricken with leprosy.
28 sin autem in loco suo macula steterit non satis clara, tumor combustionis est, et idcirco mundabit eum, quia cicatrix est combusturae.	28 But if the blotch remains in its place without spreading on the skin and is already dying out, it is merely the scab of the burn; the priest shall therefore declare the man clean, since it is only the scar of the burn.
29 Vir sive mulier, in cuius capite vel barba germinarit plaga, videbit eam sacerdos.	29 "When a man or a woman has a sore on the head or cheek,
30 Et, siquidem humilior fuerit locus carne reliqua, et capillus flavus solitoque subtilior, contaminabit eos, quia scabies est, lepra capitis vel barbae.	30 should the priest, on examining it, find that the sore has penetrated below the skin and that there is fine yellow hair on it, the priest shall declare the person unclean, for this is scall, a leprous disease of the head or cheek.
31 Sin autem viderit plagam scabiei aequalem vicinae carni nec capillum nigrum in ea, recludet eos septem diebus.	31 But if the priest, on examining the scall sore, finds that it has not penetrated below the skin, though the hair on it may not be black, the priest shall quarantine the person with scall sore for seven days,
32 Et die septimo intuebitur plagam: si non creverit scabies, nec capillus flavus fuerit in ea, et locus plagae carni reliquae aequalis,	32 and on the seventh day again examine the sore. If the scall has not spread and has no yellow hair on it and does not seem to have penetrated below the skin,
33 radetur homo absque loco maculae, et includet eum sacerdos septem diebus aliis.	33 the man shall shave himself, but not on the diseased spot. Then the priest shall quarantine him for another seven days.
34 Si die septimo visa fuerit stetisse plaga in loco suo nec humilior carne reliqua, mundabit eum sacerdos; lotisque vestibus mundus erit.	34 If the priest, when examining the scall on the seventh day, finds that it has not spread on the skin and that it has not penetrated below the skin, he shall declare the man clean; the latter shall wash his garments, and thus he will be clean.
35 Sin autem post emundationem rursus creverit scabies in cute,	35 But if the scall spreads at all on his skin after he has been declared clean,
36 non quaeret amplius utrum capillus in flavum colorem sit commutatus, quia aperte immundus est.	36 the priest shall again examine it. If the scall has indeed spread on the skin, he need not look for yellow hair; the man is surely unclean.
37 Porro si steterit macula, et capilli nigri fuerint, noverit hominem esse sanatum et confidenter eum pronuntiet mundum.	37 If, however, he judges that the scall has remained in its place and that black hair has grown on it, the disease has been healed; the man is clean, and the priest shall declare him clean.
38 Vir et mulier, in cuius cute maculae, maculae albae apparuerint,	38 "When the skin of a man or a woman is spotted with white blotches,
39 intuebitur eos sacerdos. Si deprehenderit subobscurum alborem lucere in cute, sciat impetiginem ortam esse in cute; mundus est.	39 the priest shall make an examination. If the blotches on the skin are white and already dying out, it is only tetter that has broken out on the skin, and the person therefore is clean.
40 Vir, de cuius capite capilli fluunt, calvus ac mundus est;	40 "When a man loses the hair of his head, he is not unclean merely because of his bald crown.
41 et, si a fronte ceciderint pili, recalvaster et mundus est.	41 So too, if he loses the hair on the front of his head, he is not unclean merely because of his bald forehead.
42 Sin autem in calvitio sive in recalvatione plaga alba vel subrufa fuerit exorta, lepra est capitis.	42 But when there is a pink sore on his bald crown or bald forehead, it is leprosy that is breaking out there.
43 Sacerdos eum videbit, et ecce tumor plagae subrufus secundum aspectum leprae cutis carnis.	43 The priest shall examine him; and if the scab on the sore of the bald spot has the same pink appearance as that of skin leprosy of the fleshy part of the body,
44 Vir maculatus est lepra, et sacerdos omnino decernet eum esse immundum; plaga est in capite eius.	44 the man is leprous and unclean, and the priest shall declare him unclean by reason of the sore on his head.
45 Leprosus hac plaga percussus habebit vestimenta dissuta, comam capitis excussam, barbam contectam; clamabit: "Immundus! Immundus!".	45 "The one who bears the sore of leprosy shall keep his garments rent and his head bare, and shall muffle his beard; he shall cry out, 'Unclean, unclean!'
46 Omni tempore, quo leprosus est immundus, immundus est et solus habitabit extra castra.	46 As long as the sore is on him he shall declare himself unclean, since he is in fact unclean. He shall dwell apart, making his abode outside the camp.
47 Si in veste lanea sive linea lepra fuerit,	47 "When a leprous infection is on a garment of wool or of linen,
48 in stamine sive subtemine lineo vel laneo aut in pelle vel quolibet ex pelle confecto,	48 or on woven or knitted material of linen or wool, or on a hide or anything made of leather,
49 si macula pallida aut rufa fuerit, lepra reputabitur ostendeturque sacerdoti.	49 if the infection on the garment or hide, or on the woven or knitted material, or on any leather article is greenish or reddish, the thing is indeed infected with leprosy and must be shown to the priest.
50 Qui considerabit macula infectum et recludet septem diebus;	50 Having examined the infection, the priest shall quarantine the infected article for seven days.
51 et die septimo rursus aspiciens, si crevisse deprehenderit, lepra maligna est; pollutum iudicabit vestimentum et omne, in quo fuerit inventa,	51 "On the seventh day the priest shall again examine the infection. If it has spread on the garment, or on the woven or knitted material, or on the leather, whatever be its use, the infection is malignant leprosy, and the article is unclean.
52 et idcirco comburetur flammis.	52 He shall therefore burn up the garment, or the woven or knitted material of wool or linen, or the leather article, whatever it may be, which is infected; since it has malignant leprosy, it must be destroyed by fire.
53 Quod si eam viderit non crevisse,	53 But if the priest, on examining the infection, finds that it has not spread on the garment, or on the woven or knitted material, or on the leather article,
54 praecipiet, et lavabunt id, in quo plaga est; recludetque illud septem diebus aliis.	54 he shall give orders to have the infected article washed and then quarantined for another seven days.
55 Et cum viderit post lavationem faciem quidem pristinam non mutatam, nec tamen crevisse plagam, immunda est res, et igne combures eam, eo quod infusa sit plaga in superficie rei vel in parte aversa.	55 "Then the priest shall again examine the infected article after it has been washed. If the infection has not changed its appearance, even though it may not have spread, the article is unclean and shall be destroyed by fire.
56 Sin autem obscurior fuerit locus plagae, postquam res est lota, sacerdos abrumpet eum et a solido dividet.	56 But if the priest, on examining the infection, finds that it is dying out after the washing, he shall tear the infected part out of the garment, or the leather, or the woven or knitted material.
57 Quod si macula ultra apparuerit in his rebus, quae prius immaculata erant, lepra volatilis et vaga, igne combures illas.	57 If, however, the infection again appears on the garment, or on the woven or knitted material, or on the leather article, it is still virulent and the thing infected shall be destroyed by fire.
58 Quas vero laveris et a quibus cessaverit plaga, illas lavabis secundo, et mundae erunt.	58 But if, after the washing, the infection has left the garment, or the woven or knitted material, or the leather article, the thing shall be washed a second time, and thus it will be clean.
59 Ista est lex leprae vestimenti lanei et linei, staminis atque subteminis, omnisque supellectilis pelliceae, quomodo mundari debeat vel contaminari ”.	59 This is the law for leprous infection on a garment of wool or linen, or on woven or knitted material, or on any leather article, to determine whether it is clean or unclean."
