1 و َقالَ اللهُ لِمُوسَى:

Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

2 « هَذِهِ شَرِيعَةُ الأبرَصِ حِينَ يُطَهَّرُ. «يَنبَغِي أنْ يُحضَرَ الشَّخصُ إلَى الكاهِنِ.

“This shall be the law of the leper for the day of his cleansing: He shall be brought to the priest.

3 ف َيَخْرُجُ الكاهِنُ خارِجَ المُخَيَّمِ إلَى الشَّخصِ المُصابِ، فَإنْ عايَنَهُ الكاهِنُ وَرَآهُ قَدْ شُفِيَ مِنْ بَرَصِهِ،

And the priest shall go out of the camp, and the priest shall examine him; and indeed, if the leprosy is healed in the leper,

4 ي َأمُرُ بِإحضارِ عُصفُورَينِ حَيَّينِ طاهرَينِ وَقِطعَةَ خَشَبِ أرزٍ وَخَيطاً أحمَرَ وَغُصْناً مِنْ نَباتِ الزُّوفا لِأجلِ الَّذِي تَطَهَّرَ.

then the priest shall command to take for him who is to be cleansed two living and clean birds, cedar wood, scarlet, and hyssop.

5 و َيَأمُرُ الكاهِنُ بِذَبحِ أحَدِ العُصْفُورَينِ وَوَضعِ دَمِهِ فِي طَبَقٍ مِنْ فُخّارٍ فَوقَ ماءٍ جارٍ.

And the priest shall command that one of the birds be killed in an earthen vessel over running water.

6 ث ُمَّ يَأخُذُ العُصفُورَ الحَيَّ وَقِطعَةَ خَشَبِ الأرْزِ وَالخَيطَ الأحمَرَ وَالزُّوفا، وَيَغمِسُها جَمِيعاً مَعَ العُصفُورِ الحَيِّ فِي دَمِ العُصفُورِ الَّذِي ذُبِحَ فَوقَ ماءٍ جارٍ.

As for the living bird, he shall take it, the cedar wood and the scarlet and the hyssop, and dip them and the living bird in the blood of the bird that was killed over the running water.

7 ث ُمَّ يَرُشُّ الدَّمَ سَبعَ مَرّاتٍ عَلَى الشَّخصِ الَّذِي تَطَهَّرَ مِنَ البَرَصِ. بَعدَ ذَلِكَ، يُعلِنُ الشَّخصَ طاهِراً. وَيُطلِقُ الكاهِنُ العُصفُورَ الحَيَّ فِي سَهلٍ مَفتُوحٍ.

And he shall sprinkle it seven times on him who is to be cleansed from the leprosy, and shall pronounce him clean, and shall let the living bird loose in the open field.

8 « وَعَلَى مَنْ تَطَهَّرَ أنْ يَغسِلَ ثِيابَهُ وَيَحلِقَ شَعرَهُ وَيَستَحِمَّ فِي ماءٍ، فَيَصِيرَ طاهِراً. ثُمَّ يَدخُلُ المُخَيَّمَ، لَكِنَّهُ يَبقَى خارِجَ خَيمَتِهِ لِسَبعَةِ أيّامٍ.

He who is to be cleansed shall wash his clothes, shave off all his hair, and wash himself in water, that he may be clean. After that he shall come into the camp, and shall stay outside his tent seven days.

9 و َفِي اليَومِ السّابِعِ، يَحلِقُ كُلَّ شَعرِ رَأسِهِ وَذَقنِهِ وَحَواجِبِهِ. يَنبَغِي أنْ يَحلِقَ كُلَّ شَعرِهِ، وَأنْ يَغسِلَ ثِيابَهُ وَجَسَدَهُ فِي الماءِ، حِينَئِذٍ، يَكُونُ طاهِراً تَماماً.

But on the seventh day he shall shave all the hair off his head and his beard and his eyebrows—all his hair he shall shave off. He shall wash his clothes and wash his body in water, and he shall be clean.

10 « وَفِي اليَومِ الثّامِنِ، يَأخُذُ حَمَلَينِ ذَكَرَينِ لا عَيبَ فِيهِما، وَنَعْجَةً واحِدَةً عُمْرُها سَنَةٌ لا عَيبَ فِيها، وَثَلاثَةَ أعْشارِ القُفَّةِ مِنَ الطَّحِينِ الجَيِّدِ مَمزُوجاً بِزَيتٍ، وَكُوباً وَاحِداً مِنْ زَيتِ الزَّيتُونِ.

“And on the eighth day he shall take two male lambs without blemish, one ewe lamb of the first year without blemish, three-tenths of an ephah of fine flour mixed with oil as a grain offering, and one log of oil.

11 و َعَلَى الكاهِنِ الَّذِي يَقُوُمُ بالتَّطهِيرِ أنْ يُعِدَّ ذَلِكَ الإنسانَ لِيَتَطَهَّرَ، وَأنْ يُحْضِرَ هَذِهِ التَّقدِماتِ إلَى مَحْضَرِ اللهِ عِندَ مَدخَلِ خَيمَةِ الاجْتِماعِ.

Then the priest who makes him clean shall present the man who is to be made clean, and those things, before the Lord, at the door of the tabernacle of meeting.

12 ث ُمَّ يَأخُذُ الكاهِنُ حَمَلاً ذَكَراً وَيُقَدِّمُهُ ذَبِيحَةَ ذَنبٍ مَعَ كُوبٍ مِنَ الزَّيتِ، وَيرفَعُهُا تَقدِمَةً فِي حَضْرَةِ اللهِ.

And the priest shall take one male lamb and offer it as a trespass offering, and the log of oil, and wave them as a wave offering before the Lord.

13 و َيَذبَحُ الحَمَلَ فِي مِنْطَقَةٍ مُقَدَّسَةٍ حَيثُ تُذبَحُ تَقدِمَةُ الذَّبيحَةِ الصّاعِدَةِ. وَلِأنَّ ذَبِيحَةَ الذَّنبِ هِيَ مِثلُ ذَبِيحَةِ الخَطِيَّةِ، فَإنَّها تَكُونُ مِنْ نَصِيبِ الكاهِنِ. إنَّها نَصِيبٌ مُخَصَّصٌ لِلكَهَنَةِ بِالكامِلِ.

Then he shall kill the lamb in the place where he kills the sin offering and the burnt offering, in a holy place; for as the sin offering is the priest’s, so is the trespass offering. It is most holy.

14 « وَيَأخُذُ الكاهِنُ بَعضَ دَمِ ذَبِيحَةِ الذَّنبِ، وَيَضَعَهُ عَلَى شَحمَةِ الأُذُنِ اليُمنَى لِلمُتَطَهِّرِ، وَعَلَى إبهامِ يَدِهِ اليُمنَى، وَعَلَى إبهامِ رِجلِهِ اليُمنَى.

The priest shall take some of the blood of the trespass offering, and the priest shall put it on the tip of the right ear of him who is to be cleansed, on the thumb of his right hand, and on the big toe of his right foot.

15 ث ُمَّ يَأخُذُ الكاهِنُ مِنْ كُوبِ الزَّيتِ، وَيَسكُبُ مِنهُ فِي كَفِّهِ الأيْسَرِ.

And the priest shall take some of the log of oil, and pour it into the palm of his own left hand.

16 ث ُمَّ يَغمِسُ إصبَعاً مِنْ يَدِهِ اليُمنَى فِي الزَّيتِ الَّذِي فِي كَفِّهِ الأيْسَرِ، وَيَرُشَّ بَعضَ الزَّيتِ بِإصبَعِهِ سَبعَ مَرّاتٍ فِي حَضْرَةِ اللهِ.

Then the priest shall dip his right finger in the oil that is in his left hand, and shall sprinkle some of the oil with his finger seven times before the Lord.

17 أ مّا ما تَبَقَّى مِنَ الزَّيتِ فِي كَفِّهِ، فَيَضَعُهُ الكاهِنُ مِنْهُ عَلَى شَحمَةِ الأُذُنِ اليُمنَى لِلشَّخصِ المُتَطَهِّرِ، وَعَلَى إبهامِ يَدِهِ اليُمنَى وَإبهامِ رِجلِهِ اليُمنَى. فَوقَ دَمِ ذَبِيحَةِ الذَّنبِ.

And of the rest of the oil in his hand, the priest shall put some on the tip of the right ear of him who is to be cleansed, on the thumb of his right hand, and on the big toe of his right foot, on the blood of the trespass offering.

18 و َما تَبّقَّى فِي كَفِّ الكاهِنِ يَضَعُهُ علَى رَأسِ المُتَطَهِّرِ. وَهَكَذا، يَعمَلُ لَهُ الكاهِنُ كَفّارَةً فِي حَضْرَةِ اللهِ.

The rest of the oil that is in the priest’s hand he shall put on the head of him who is to be cleansed. So the priest shall make atonement for him before the Lord.

19 « ثُمَّ يَذْبَحُ الكاهِنُ ذَبِيحَةَ الخَطِيَّةِ وَيُطَهِّرَ المُتَطَهِّرَ مِنْ نَجاسَتِهِ. ثُمَّ يَذبَحُ ذَبيحَةً صاعِدَةً.

“Then the priest shall offer the sin offering, and make atonement for him who is to be cleansed from his uncleanness. Afterward he shall kill the burnt offering.

20 ي ُقَدِّمُ الكاهِنُ الذَّبيحَةَ الصّاعِدَةَ وَتَقدِمَةَ الطَّحِينِ عَلَى المَذبَحِ. وَهَكَذا يَعِدُّ الكاهِنُ كَفّارَةً عَنْ خَطِيَّتِهِ، فَتُغفَرَ لَهُ.

And the priest shall offer the burnt offering and the grain offering on the altar. So the priest shall make atonement for him, and he shall be clean.

21 « فَإنْ كانَ المُتَطَهِّرُ فَقِيراً، لا يَستَطِيعُ تَقدِيمَ تِلكَ الذَّبائِحِ، فَلْيَجلِبْ حَمَلاً ذَبِيحَةَ ذَنبٍ تُرفَعُ فِي حَضرَةِ اللهِ كَفّارَةً لِخَطاياهُ. كَما يُقَدِّمُ عُشَرَ قُفَّةٍ مِنَ الطَّحِينِ الجَيِّدِ مَمزُوجاً بِزَيتٍ، وَكُوباً وَاحِداً مِنْ زَيتِ الزَّيتُونِ،

“But if he is poor and cannot afford it, then he shall take one male lamb as a trespass offering to be waved, to make atonement for him, one-tenth of an ephah of fine flour mixed with oil as a grain offering, a log of oil,

22 و َيَمامَتَينِ أوْ حَمامَتَينِ صَغِيرَتَينِ بِحَسَبِ قُدْرَتِهِ. فَتَكُونُ إحداهُما لِذَبِيحَةِ الخَطِيَّةِ، وَالثّانِيَةُ لِتَقدِمَةِ الذَّبيحَةِ الصّاعِدَةِ.

and two turtledoves or two young pigeons, such as he is able to afford: one shall be a sin offering and the other a burnt offering.

23 « يُحضِرُ المُتَطَهِّرُ هَذِهِ التَّقدِماتِ فِي اليَومِ الثّامِنِ مِنْ يَومِ تَطهِيرِهِ، إلَى الكاهِنِ عِندَ مَدخَلِ خَيمَةِ الاجْتِماعِ فِي حَضْرَةِ اللهِ.

He shall bring them to the priest on the eighth day for his cleansing, to the door of the tabernacle of meeting, before the Lord.

24 ف َيَأخُذُ الكاهِنُ الحَمَلَ لِذَبِيحَةِ الذَّنبِ وَكُوباً واحِداً مِنْ زَيتِ الزَّيتُونِ، وَيَرفَعُهما تَقدِمَةً فِي حَضرَةِ اللهِ.

And the priest shall take the lamb of the trespass offering and the log of oil, and the priest shall wave them as a wave offering before the Lord.

25 ث ُمَّ يُذبَحُ حَمَلُ ذَبِيحَةِ الذَّنبِ، وَيَأخُذُ الكاهِنُ بَعضَ دَمِ ذَبِيحَةِ الذَّنبِ وَيَضَعُهُ عَلَى شَحْمَةِ الأُذُنِ اليُمنَى لِلشَّخصِ المُتَطَهِّرِ، وَعَلَى إبهامِ يَدِهِ اليُمنَى وَعَلَى إبهامِ رِجلِهِ اليُمنَى.

Then he shall kill the lamb of the trespass offering, and the priest shall take some of the blood of the trespass offering and put it on the tip of the right ear of him who is to be cleansed, on the thumb of his right hand, and on the big toe of his right foot.

26 و َيَسكُبُ الكاهِنُ بَعضَ الزَّيتِ فِي كَفِّهِ الأيَسَرِ.

And the priest shall pour some of the oil into the palm of his own left hand.

27 ث ُمَّ يَرُشُّ الكاهِنُ بِإصبَعٍ مِنْ يَدِهِ اليُمنَى بَعضَ الزَّيتِ الَّذِي فِي كَفِّهِ الأيسَرِ سَبعَ مَرّاتٍ فِي حَضْرَةِ اللهِ.

Then the priest shall sprinkle with his right finger some of the oil that is in his left hand seven times before the Lord.

28 ث ُمَّ يَضَعُ الكاهِنُ بَعضَ الزَّيتِ الَّذِي فِي كَفِّهِ عَلَى شَحمَةِ الأُذُنِ اليُمنَى لِلمُتَطَهِّرِ، وَعَلَى إبهامِ يَدِهِ اليُمنَى وَعَلَى إبهامِ رِجلِهِ اليُمنَى، عَلَى الأماكِنِ الَّتِي وُضِعَ عَلَيها مِنْ دَمِ ذَبِيحَةِ الذَّنبِ.

And the priest shall put some of the oil that is in his hand on the tip of the right ear of him who is to be cleansed, on the thumb of the right hand, and on the big toe of his right foot, on the place of the blood of the trespass offering.

29 و َبَقِيَّةُ الزَّيتِ الَّذِي فِي كَفَّةِ الكاهِنِ، يَسْكُبُها عَلَى رَأسِ المُتَطَهِّرِ لِعَمَلِ كَفّارَةٍ لَهُ فِي حَضْرَةِ اللهِ.

The rest of the oil that is in the priest’s hand he shall put on the head of him who is to be cleansed, to make atonement for him before the Lord.

30 « ثُمَّ يُقَدِّمُ الكاهِنُ إحْدَى اليَمامَتَينِ أوْ إحْدَى الحَمامَتَينِ الصَّغِيرَتَينِ، بِحَسَبِ قُدْرَةِ المُتَطَهِّرِ.

And he shall offer one of the turtledoves or young pigeons, such as he can afford—

31 ف َتَكُونُ إحداهُما لِذَبِيحَةِ الخَطِيَّةِ وَالأُخرَى لِلذَّبيحَةِ الصّاعِدَةِ، مَعَ تَقدِمَةِ الطَّحِينِ. وَهَكَذا يَعمَلُ الكاهِنُ لِلشَّخصِ المُتَطَهِّرِ كَفّارَةً فِي حَضْرَةِ اللهِ ، فَيَصيرُ طاهِراً.»

such as he is able to afford, the one as a sin offering and the other as a burnt offering, with the grain offering. So the priest shall make atonement for him who is to be cleansed before the Lord.

32 ه َذِهِ هِيَ شَرِيعَةُ المُصابِ بِالبَرَصِ. وَلا يَستَطِيعُ تَقدِيمَ الذَّبائِحِ وَالتَّقدِماتِ المُعْتادَةِ لِتَطهِيرِهِ. عَفَنُ البُيُوت

This is the law for one who had a leprous sore, who cannot afford the usual cleansing.” The Law Concerning Leprous Houses

33 و َقالَ اللهُ لِمُوسَى وَهارُونَ:

And the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying:

34 « حِينَ تَدخُلُونَ أرْضَ كَنعانَ الَّتِي سَأُعطِيها لَكُمْ مُلكاً، وَأرسَلْتُ عَفَناً عَلَى بَيتٍ فِي أرْضِكُمْ،

“When you have come into the land of Canaan, which I give you as a possession, and I put the leprous plague in a house in the land of your possession,

35 ف َعَلَى صاحِبِ البَيتِ أنْ يَأتِيَ وَيُخبِرَ الكاهِنَ فَيَقُولُ: ‹رَأيتُ شَيئاً يُشبِهُ العَفَنَ فِي بَيتِي.›

and he who owns the house comes and tells the priest, saying, ‘It seems to me that there is some plague in the house,’

36 ف َيَأمُرُ الكاهِنُ بِإخراجِ كُلِّ شَيءٍ مِنَ البَيتِ قَبلَ أنْ يَأتِيَ الكاهِنُ لِيَفحَصَ العَفَنَ. فَإنْ عَمِلُوا هَذا فَإنَّ الأشياءَ الَّتِي فِي البَيتِ لَنْ تُصبِحَ نَجِسَةً. ثُمَّ يَأتِي الكاهِنُ لِيَرَى البَيتَ.

then the priest shall command that they empty the house, before the priest goes into it to examine the plague, that all that is in the house may not be made unclean; and afterward the priest shall go in to examine the house.

37 ث ُمَّ يُعايِنُ الكاهِنُ البَيتَ. وَيَفحَصُ الكاهِنُ العَفَنَ، فَإنْ كانَ العَفَنُ الَّذِي عَلَى جُدرانِ البَيتِ يَتَكَوَّنُ مِنْ بُقَعٍ حَمراءَ أوْ خَضراءَ غائِرَةٍ فِي سَطحِ الجِدارِ.

And he shall examine the plague; and indeed if the plague is on the walls of the house with ingrained streaks, greenish or reddish, which appear to be deep in the wall,

38 ف َيَخْرُجُ الكاهِنُ مِنَ البَيتِ إلَى مَدخَلِهِ، وَيُغلِقُ البَيتَ لِسَبعَةِ أيّامٍ.

then the priest shall go out of the house, to the door of the house, and shut up the house seven days.

39 « وَيَعُودُ الكاهِنُ فِي اليَومِ السّابِعِ وَيُعايِنُ البَيتَ، فَإنِ انتَشَرَ العَفَنُ الَّذِي عَلَى جُدرانِ البَيتِ،

And the priest shall come again on the seventh day and look; and indeed if the plague has spread on the walls of the house,

40 ي َأمُرُ بِنَزعِ الحِجارَةِ الَّتِي عَلَيْها العَفَنُ وَإلقائِها خارِجَ المَدِينَةِ فِي مَكانٍ نَجِسٍ.

then the priest shall command that they take away the stones in which is the plague, and they shall cast them into an unclean place outside the city.

41 ث ُمَّ يَأمُرُ الكاهِنُ بِقَشرِ كُلِّ الطِّينَةِ الدّاخِلِيَّةِ لِلبَيتِ، وَيُلْقَى التَّرابُ الَّذِي قَشَّرُوهُ إلَى خارِجِ المَدِينَةِ فِي مَكانٍ نَجِسٍ.

And he shall cause the house to be scraped inside, all around, and the dust that they scrape off they shall pour out in an unclean place outside the city.

42 ث ُمَّ تُوضَعُ حِجارَةٌ أُخْرَى مَكانَ الحِجارَةِ الَّتِي أُزِيلَتْ، وَيُطَيَّنُ البَيتُ بِطِينَةٍ جَدِيدَةٍ.

Then they shall take other stones and put them in the place of those stones, and he shall take other mortar and plaster the house.

43 « فَإنْ عادَ العَفَنُ وَانتَشَرَ فِي البَيتِ بَعدَ أنْ أُزِيلَتِ الحِجارَةُ وَتَمَّ تَقشِيرُ البَيتِ وَتَطيِينُهُ مِنْ جَدِيدٍ،

“Now if the plague comes back and breaks out in the house, after he has taken away the stones, after he has scraped the house, and after it is plastered,

44 ف َحِينَئِذٍ، يَأتي الكاهِنُ وَيُعايِنُهُ. فِإنْ كانَ العَفَنُ قَدِ انتَشَرَ فِي البَيتِ، فَهُوَ عَفَنٌ مُفسِدٌ وَمُتلِفٌ لِلبَيتِ وَما فِيهِ. إنَّهُ بَيتٌ نَجِسٌ.

then the priest shall come and look; and indeed if the plague has spread in the house, it is an active leprosy in the house. It is unclean.

45 ي َنبَغِي هَدمُ البَيتِ، حِجارَتِهِ وَخَشَبِهِ وَكُلِّ طِينَتِهِ، وَإحضارِها إلَى خارِجِ المَدِينَةِ، إلَى مَكانٍ نَجِسٍ.

And he shall break down the house, its stones, its timber, and all the plaster of the house, and he shall carry them outside the city to an unclean place.

46 ك ُلُّ شَخصٍ يَدخُلُ البَيتَ خِلالَ فَترَةِ إغلاقِهِ يَكُونُ نَجِساً إلَى المَساءِ،

Moreover he who goes into the house at all while it is shut up shall be unclean until evening.

47 و َكُلُّ شَخصٍ يَنامُ فِي البَيتِ يَنبَغِي أنْ يَغسِلَ ثِيابَهُ. وَكُلُّ شَخصٍ يَأكُلُ فِي البَيتِ يَنبَغِي أنْ يَغسِلَ ثِيابَهُ.

And he who lies down in the house shall wash his clothes, and he who eats in the house shall wash his clothes.

48 « لَكِنْ إنْ أتَى الكاهِنُ وَرَأى البَيتَ، وَلَمْ يَكُنِ العَفَنُ قَدِ انتَشَرَ فِي البَيتِ بَعدَ أنْ تَمَّ تَطيِينُ البَيتِ ثانِيَةً، فَإنَّ الكاهِنَ يُعلِنُ البَيتَ طاهِراً لِأنَّ العَفَنَ قَدْ زالَ.

“But if the priest comes in and examines it, and indeed the plague has not spread in the house after the house was plastered, then the priest shall pronounce the house clean, because the plague is healed.

49 و َلِتَطهِيرِ البَيتِ، يَأخُذُ الكاهِنُ عُصفُورَينِ وَقِطعَةَ خَشَبِ أرزٍ وَخَيطاً أحمَرَ وَغُصْناً مِنْ نَباتِ الزُّوفا.

And he shall take, to cleanse the house, two birds, cedar wood, scarlet, and hyssop.

50 ث ُمَّ يَذبَحُ أحَدَ العُصفُورَينِ فِي طَبَقٍ مِنْ خَزَفٍ فَوقَ ماءٍ جارٍ.

Then he shall kill one of the birds in an earthen vessel over running water;

51 و َيَأخُذُ قِطعَةَ خَشَبِ الأرْزِ وَغُصْنَ الزُّوفا وَالخَيطَ الأحمَرَ وَالطَّيرَ الحَيَّ، وَيَغمِسُها جَمِيعَها فِي دَمِ العُصفُورِ الَّذِي ذُبِحَ فِي الماءِ الجارِي، ثُمَّ يَرُشُّ البَيتَ سَبعَ مَرّاتٍ.

and he shall take the cedar wood, the hyssop, the scarlet, and the living bird, and dip them in the blood of the slain bird and in the running water, and sprinkle the house seven times.

52 و َهَكَذا يَطهُرُ البَيتُ بِدَمِ العُصفُورِ وَبِالماءِ الجارِي وَبِالعُصفُورِ الحَيِّ وَقِطْعَةِ خَشَبِ الأرْزِ وَغُصْنِ الزُّوفا وَالخَيطِ الأحمَرِ.

And he shall cleanse the house with the blood of the bird and the running water and the living bird, with the cedar wood, the hyssop, and the scarlet.

53 ث ُمَّ يُطلِقُ الكاهِنُ العُصفُورَ الحَيَّ خارِجَ المَدِينَةِ فِي سَهلٍ مَفتُوحٍ، وَيُكَفِّرُ عَنِ البَيتِ فَيَصِيرُ طاهِراً.»

Then he shall let the living bird loose outside the city in the open field, and make atonement for the house, and it shall be clean.

54 ه َذِهِ هِيَ شَرِيعَةُ كُلِّ بَرَصٍ وَالتِهابٍ جِلدِيٍّ،

“This is the law for any leprous sore and scale,

55 و َعَفَنِ القُماشِ أوِ البَيتِ،

for the leprosy of a garment and of a house,

56 و َتَغَيُّرِ لَونِ الجِلدِ وَالجَرَبِ وَالبُقَعِ اللّامِعَةِ.

for a swelling and a scab and a bright spot,

57 ه َذِهِ الشَّرِيعَةُ لِلتَّفرِيقِ بَينَ ما هُوَ نَجِسٌ وَما هُوَ طاهِرٌ. إنَّها شَرِيعَةُ البَرَصِ وَالعَفَنِ.

to teach when it is unclean and when it is clean. This is the law of leprosy.”
