Levítivo 13

VULGATA	NEW JERUSALEM
1 Locutusque est Dominus ad Moysen, et Aaron, dicens :	1 Yahweh said to Moses and Aaron,
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.	2 'If a swel ing or scab or spot appears on someone's skin, which could develop into a contagious skin-disease, that person must then be taken to the priest, either Aaron or one of his sons.
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.	3 The priest wil examine the disease on the skin. If the hair on the diseased part has turned white, or ifthe disease bites into the skin, the skin-disease is contagious, and after examination the priest wil declare theperson unclean.
4 Sin autem lucens candor fuerit in cute, nec humilior carne reliqua, et pili coloris pristini, recludet eum sacerdos septem diebus :	4 But if there is a white spot on the skin without any visible depression of the skin or whitening of thehair, the priest wil isolate the sick person 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.	5 On the seventh day he wil examine the person, and if he observes that the disease persists thoughwithout spreading over the skin, he will isolate the person for a further seven days
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.	6 and examine him again on the seventh. If he finds that the disease has faded and has not spread overthe skin, the priest wil declare the person clean. This was merely a scab. Once he has washed his clothing hewil be clean.
7 Quod si postquam a sacerdote visus est, et redditus munditiæ, iterum lepra creverit : adducetur ad eum,	7 'But if the scab spreads over the skin after the sick person has been examined by the priest anddeclared clean, then he wil let himself be examined again by the priest.
8 et immunditiæ condemnabitur.	8 After examining him and certifying the spread of the scab over the skin, the priest wil declare himunclean: it is a contagious skin-disease.
9 Plaga lepræ si fuerit in homine, adducetur ad sacerdotem,	9 'Someone who has a contagious skin-disease must be taken to the priest.
10 et videbit eum. Cumque color albus in cute fuerit, et capillorum mutaverit aspectum, ipsa quoque caro viva apparuerit :	10 The priest wil examine the sick person, and if he finds a whitish swel ing with whitening of the hairand an ulcer forming on the skin,
11 lepra vetustissima judicabitur, atque inolita cuti. Contaminabit itaque eum sacerdos, et non recludet, quia perspicuæ immunditiæ est.	11 this is a dormant skin-disease, and the priest wil declare the person unclean. He wil not isolate him;he is obviously unclean.
12 Sin autem effloruerit discurrens lepra in cute, et operuerit omnem cutem a capite usque ad pedes, quidquid sub aspectum oculorum cadit,	12 'But if the disease spreads all through the skin, if it covers the person entirely from head to foot so faras the priest can see,
13 considerabit eum sacerdos, et teneri lepra mundissima judicabit : eo quod omnis in candorem versa sit, et idcirco homo mundus erit.	13 the priest wil then examine the sick person and, if he finds that the skin-disease covers his wholebody, declare the sick person clean. Since it has al become white, he is clean.
14 Quando vero caro vivens in eo apparuerit,	14 But as soon as an ulcer appears on him, he wil be unclean.
15 tunc sacerdotis judicio polluetur, et inter immundos reputabitur : caro enim viva, si lepra aspergitur, immunda est.	15 After examining the ulcer, the priest will declare him unclean: the ulcer is unclean, it is contagious.
16 Quod si rursum versa fuerit in alborem, et totum hominem operuerit,	16 But if the ulcer becomes white again, the sick person wil go to the priest;
17 considerabit eum sacerdos, et mundum esse decernet.	17 the priest wil examine him and if he finds that the disease has turned white, he wil declare the sickperson clean: he is clean.
18 Caro autem et cutis in qua ulcus natum est, et sanatum,	18 'When an ulcer appears on someone's skin, and then gets better,
19 et in loco ulceris cicatrix alba apparuerit, sive subrufa, adducetur homo ad sacerdotem.	19 and if then a white swel ing or a reddish-white spot forms on the same place, the sick person wilshow himself 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.	20 The priest wil examine him, and if he finds a visible depression in the skin and a whitening of thehair, he wil declare the person unclean: this is a case of contagious skin-disease breaking out in an ulcer.
21 Quod si pilus coloris est pristini, et cicatrix subobscura, et vicina carne non est humilior, recludet eum septem diebus :	21 But if on examination the priest finds neither white hair nor depression of the skin, but a fading of theaffected part, he wil isolate the sick person for seven days.
22 et si quidem creverit, adjudicabit eum lepræ ;	22 If the disease has then spread over the skin, he will declare the person unclean: this is a case ofcontagious skin-disease.
23 sin autem steterit in loco suo, ulceris est cicatrix, et homo mundus erit.	23 But if the spot has stayed where it was and has not spread, it is the scar of the ulcer and the priestwil declare the person clean.
24 Caro autem et cutis, quam ignis exusserit, et sanata albam sive rufam habuerit cicatricem,	24 'If someone has a burn on the skin and an abscess, a reddish-white or white spot, forms on the burn,
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.	25 the priest wil then examine it. If he finds a whitening of the hair or a visible depression of the mark onthe skin, a contagious disease has broken out in the burn. The priest wil declare the sick person unclean: this isa contagious skin-disease.
26 Quod si pilorum color non fuerit immutatus, nec humilior plaga carne reliqua, et ipsa lepræ species fuerit subobscura, recludet eum septem diebus,	26 If on the other hand the priest on examination does not find white hair on the mark or depression ofthe skin, but a fading of the mark, the priest will isolate the person for seven days.
27 et die septimo contemplabitur : si creverit in cute lepra, contaminabit eum.	27 He wil examine the person on the seventh day and, if the disease has spread over the skin, he wildeclare the sick person unclean: this is a case of contagious skin-disease.
28 Sin autem in loco suo candor steterit non satis clarus, plaga combustionis est, et idcirco mundabitur, quia cicatrix est combusturæ.	28 If the mark has stayed where it was and has not spread over the skin, but has faded instead, it wasonly a swel ing due to the burn. The priest wil declare the person clean: it is merely a burn scar.
29 Vir, sive mulier, in cujus capite vel barba germinaverit lepra, videbit eos sacerdos.	29 'If a man or a woman has a sore 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.	30 the priest wil examine the sore; and if he finds a depression visible in the skin, with the hair on ityel ow and thin, he wil declare the sick person unclean: this is tinea, that is to say, a contagious skin-disease of the head or chin.
31 Sin autem viderit locum maculæ æqualem vicinæ carni, et capillum nigrum : recludet eum septem diebus,	31 If on examining this case of tinea the priest finds no visible depression in the skin and no yellow hair,he wil isolate the person so affected for seven days.
32 et die septimo intuebitur. Si non creverit macula, et capillus sui coloris est, et locus plagæ carni reliquæ æqualis :	32 He wil examine the infected part on the seventh day, and if he finds that the tinea has not spread,that the hair on it is not yel ow, and that there is no visible depression in the skin,
33 radetur homo absque loco maculæ, et includetur septem diebus aliis.	33 the sick person will shave his hair off, all except the part affected with tinea, and the priest wil againisolate him for seven days.
34 Si die septimo visa fuerit stetisse plaga in loco suo, nec humilior carne reliqua, mundabit eum : lotisque vestibus suis, mundus erit.	34 He wil examine the infected part on the seventh day, and if he finds that it has not spread over theskin, and that there is no visible depression of the skin, the priest wil declare the sick person clean. Afterwashing his clothes the person wil be clean.
35 Sin autem post emundationem rursus creverit macula in cute,	35 But if after this purification the tinea does spread over the skin,
36 non quæret amplius utrum capillus in flavum colorem sit immutatus, quia aperte immundus est.	36 the priest wil examine the person; if he finds that the tinea has indeed spread over the skin, the sickperson is unclean, and there is no need to verify whether the hair is yellow.
37 Porro si steterit macula, et capilli nigri fuerint, noverit hominem sanatum esse, et confidenter eum pronuntiet mundum.	37 Whereas if, so far as he can see, the tinea is arrested and dark hair is beginning to grow on it, thesick person is cured. He is clean, and the priest will declare him clean.
38 Vir, sive mulier, in cujus cute candor apparuerit,	38 'If spots break out on the skin of a man or woman, and if these spots are white,
39 intuebitur eos sacerdos. Si deprehenderit subobscurum alborem lucere in cute, sciat non esse lepram, sed maculam coloris candidi, et hominem mundum.	39 the priest wil examine them. If he finds that the spots are of a dul white, this is a rash that hasbroken out on the skin: the sick person is clean.
40 Vir, de cujus capite capilli fluunt, calvus et mundus est :	40 'If someone loses the hair of the scalp, this is baldness of the scalp but the person is clean.
41 et si a fronte ceciderint pili, recalvaster et mundus est.	41 If he loses hair off the front of the head, this is baldness of the forehead but the person is clean.
42 Sin autem in calvitio sive in recalvatione albus vel rufus color fuerit exortus,	42 If, however, a reddish-white sore appears on scalp or forehead, a contagious skin-disease hasbroken out on the scalp or forehead.
43 et hoc sacerdos viderit, condemnabit eum haud dubiæ lepræ, quæ orta est in calvitio.	43 The priest wil examine it, and if he finds a reddish-white swel ing on scalp or forehead, looking like acontagious skin-disease,
44 Quicumque ergo maculatus fuerit lepra, et separatus est ad arbitrium sacerdotis,	44 the person has such a disease: he is unclean. The priest will declare him unclean; he has acontagious skin-disease of the head.
45 habebit vestimenta dissuta, caput nudum, os veste contectum, contaminatum ac sordidum se clamabit.	45 'Anyone with a contagious skin-disease wil wear torn clothing and disordered hair; and wil cover theupper lip and shout, "Unclean, unclean."
46 Omni tempore quo leprosus est et immundus, solus habitabit extra castra.	46 As long as the disease lasts, such a person wil be unclean and, being unclean, will live alone andlive outside the camp.
47 Vestis lanea sive linea, quæ lepram habuerit,	47 'When a piece of clothing is infected with mould, be it wool en or linen clothing,
48 in stamine atque subtegmine, aut certe pellis, vel quidquid ex pelle confectum est,	48 linen or wool en fabric or covering, or leather or anything made of leather,
49 si alba vel rufa macula fuerit infecta, lepra reputabitur, ostendeturque sacerdoti :	49 if the spot on the clothing, leather, fabric, covering or object made of leather is a greenish or reddishcolour, it is a disease to be shown to the priest.
50 qui consideratam recludet septem diebus :	50 The priest wil examine the infection and isolate the object for seven days.
51 et die septimo rursus aspiciens, si deprehenderit crevisse, lepra perseverans est : pollutum judicabit vestimentum, et omne in quo fuerit inventa :	51 If on the seventh day he observes that the infection has spread on the clothing, fabric, covering,leather or object made of leather, whatever it may be, this is a contagious disease and the object is unclean.
52 et idcirco comburetur flammis.	52 He wil burn this clothing, fabric, linen or woollen covering or leather object whatever it may be, onwhich the infection has appeared; for this is a contagious disease which must be destroyed by fire.
53 Quod si eam viderit non crevisse,	53 'But if on examination the priest finds that the infection has not spread on the clothing, fabric,covering, or leather object whatever it may be,
54 præcipiet, et lavabunt id in quo lepra est, recludetque illud septem diebus aliis.	54 he wil order the infected object to be washed and wil isolate it again for a period of seven 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.	55 After the washing, he wil examine the infection and if he finds that there is no change in itsappearance, even though it has not spread, the article is unclean. You wil burn it; it is infected through andthrough.
56 Sin autem obscurior fuerit locus lepræ, postquam vestis est lota, abrumpet eum, et a solido dividet.	56 'But if on examination the priest finds that the infection has diminished after washing, he will tear it outof the clothing, leather, fabric or covering.
57 Quod si ultra apparuerit in his locis, quæ prius immaculata erant, lepra volatilis et vaga, debet igne comburi.	57 But if the infection reappears on the same clothing, fabric, covering or leather object whatever it maybe, this means that the infection is active; you will burn whatever is infected.
58 Si cessaverit, lavabit aqua ea, quæ pura sunt, secundo, et munda erunt.	58 The clothing, fabric, covering or leather object whatever it may be, from which the infectiondisappears after being washed, wil be clean after it has been washed a second time.
59 Ista est lex lepræ vestimenti lanei et linei, staminis, atque subtegminis, omnisque supellectilis pelliceæ, quomodo mundari debeat, vel contaminari.	59 'Such is the law governing disease in a linen or wool en garment, a fabric or covering or leather objectwhatever it may be, when it is a question of declaring them clean or unclean.'
