1 E l Señor habló con Moisés, y le dijo:

And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,

2 « Ésta es la ley para el leproso, cuando sea declarado limpio: Será llevado ante el sacerdote,

This shall be the law of the leper in the day of his cleansing: he shall be brought unto the priest,

3 q uien saldrá del campamento para examinarlo. Si el sacerdote ve que el leproso ha sanado de la plaga de lepra,

and the priest shall go out of the camp; and when the priest looketh, and behold, the sore of leprosy is healed in the leper,

4 o rdenará que se tomen dos aves vivas y puras, madera de cedro, grana e hisopo, para el que se purifica.

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

5 L uego, ordenará que una de las aves sea degollada sobre un vaso de barro con agua corriente.

And the priest shall command that one bird be killed in an earthen vessel over running water:

6 T omará entonces el ave viva y, con la sangre del ave que fue degollada sobre el agua corriente, mojará el cedro, la grana y el hisopo.

as to the living bird—he shall take it, and 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 L uego rociará siete veces al que está siendo purificado de la lepra, lo declarará puro, y soltará en el campo el ave viva.

and he shall sprinkle upon him that is to be cleansed from the leprosy seven times, and shall pronounce him clean, and shall let the living bird loose into the open field.

8 E l que se purifica lavará sus vestidos, se rapará, se lavará con agua, y entonces quedará purificado. Después de eso, entrará en el campamento, y durante siete días vivirá fuera de su tienda.

And he that is to be cleansed shall wash his garments, and shave all his hair, and bathe in water, and he shall be clean; and afterwards shall he come into the camp, and shall abide outside his tent seven days.

9 E l séptimo día se rapará por completo la cabeza, la barba y las cejas, y lavará sus vestidos y se bañará, y entonces será declarado puro.

And it shall come to pass on the seventh day, that he shall shave all his hair, his head, and his beard, and his eyebrows, even all his hair shall he shave, and he shall wash his garments, and shall bathe his flesh in water, and he is clean.

10 » Al octavo día, tomará dos corderos sin defecto, una cordera de un año sin defecto, seis litros de flor de harina para ofrenda amasada con aceite, y medio litro de aceite.

And on the eighth day he shall take two he-lambs without blemish, and one yearling ewe-lamb without blemish, and three tenth parts of fine flour mingled with oil, for an oblation, and one log of oil.

11 E l sacerdote que realiza la purificación presentará delante del Señor, a la entrada del tabernáculo de reunión, al que se va a purificar y a sus ofrendas.

And the priest that cleanseth shall present the man that is to be cleansed and those things before Jehovah, at the entrance of the tent of meeting.

12 T omará un cordero y, con el medio litro de aceite, lo ofrecerá delante del Señor como sacrificio por la culpa, y lo mecerá como ofrenda mecida.

And the priest shall take one he-lamb, and present it for a trespass-offering, and the log of oil, and wave them as a wave-offering before Jehovah.

13 L uego degollará el cordero en el lugar santo, donde se degüellan los sacrificios por el pecado y los holocaustos. Tanto la víctima por el pecado como la víctima por la culpa son para el sacerdote, pues son ofrendas muy sagradas.

And he shall slaughter the he-lamb at the place where the sin-offering and the burnt-offering are slaughtered, in a holy place; for as the sin-offering, so the trespass-offering is the priest's: it is most holy.

14 E l sacerdote tomará un poco de la sangre de la víctima por la culpa, y se la untará al que se purifica en el lóbulo de la oreja derecha, en el pulgar de la mano derecha y en el dedo gordo del pie derecho.

And the priest shall take of the blood of the trespass-offering, and the priest shall put it on the tip of the right ear of him that is to be cleansed, and on the thumb of his right hand, and on the great toe of his right foot.

15 A sí mismo, el sacerdote tomará un poco del medio litro de aceite y lo echará sobre la palma de su mano izquierda,

And the priest shall take of the log of oil, and pour it into his, the priest's, left hand;

16 m ojará su dedo derecho en el aceite que tiene en su mano izquierda, y con su dedo esparcirá el aceite siete veces delante del Señor.

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

17 E l aceite que le quede en la mano se lo pondrá al que se purifica en el lóbulo de la oreja derecha, en el pulgar de la mano derecha y en el dedo gordo del pie derecho, sobre la sangre del sacrificio por la culpa.

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

18 E l aceite que le quede en la mano lo pondrá sobre la cabeza del que se purifica; y así el sacerdote hará expiación por él delante del Señor.

And the remainder of the oil that is in the priest's hand he shall put upon the head of him that is to be cleansed, and the priest shall make atonement for him before Jehovah.

19 L uego ofrecerá el sacrificio por el pecado, con lo que hará expiación por el que va a purificarse de su inmundicia, y después degollará el holocausto,

And the priest shall offer the sin-offering, and make atonement for him that is to be cleansed from his uncleanness; and afterwards shall he slaughter the burnt-offering.

20 d ejando ascender sobre el altar el humo del holocausto y de la ofrenda. Así el sacerdote hará expiación por él, y lo declarará puro.

And the priest shall offer the burnt-offering and the oblation upon the altar; and the priest shall make atonement for him, and he shall be clean.

21 » Si el que se purifica es pobre, y no tiene para comprar tanto, tomará como ofrenda de reconciliación un cordero, para que sea ofrecido como ofrenda mecida por la culpa, y como ofrenda dos litros de flor de harina amasada con aceite, medio litro de aceite,

But if he be poor, and his hand be not able to get it, then he shall take one lamb for a trespass-offering, for a wave-offering, to make atonement for him; and one tenth part of fine flour mingled with oil for an oblation; and a log of oil,

22 y dos tórtolas o dos palominos, según sus posibilidades; uno de ellos será para expiación por el pecado, y el otro para holocausto.

and two turtle-doves, or two young pigeons, as his hand may be able to get: the one shall be a sin-offering, and the other a burnt-offering.

23 O cho días después de su purificación llevará todo esto al sacerdote, a la entrada del tabernáculo de reunión, delante del Señor.

And he shall bring them on the eighth day of his cleansing unto the priest, unto the entrance of the tent of meeting, before Jehovah.

24 E ntonces el sacerdote tomará el cordero de la expiación por la culpa, y el medio litro de aceite, y los mecerá como ofrenda mecida delante del Señor.

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

25 L uego degollará el cordero de la culpa, y tomará un poco de la sangre de la culpa, y se la untará al que se purifica en el lóbulo de la oreja derecha, en el pulgar de la mano derecha y en el dedo gordo del pie derecho.

And he shall slaughter the he-lamb of the trespass-offering; and the priest shall take of the blood of the trespass-offering, and put it upon the tip of the right ear of him that is to be cleansed, and upon the thumb of his right hand, and on the great toe of his right foot.

26 L uego, el sacerdote echará un poco de aceite sobre la palma de su mano izquierda,

And the priest shall pour of the oil into, the priest's, left hand,

27 y con su dedo derecho rociará siete veces, delante del Señor, el aceite que tiene en la mano izquierda.

and the priest shall sprinkle with his right finger of the oil that is in his left hand seven times before Jehovah.

28 A demás, el aceite que tiene en la mano se lo untará al que se purifica en el lóbulo de la oreja derecha, en el pulgar de la mano derecha y en el dedo gordo del pie derecho, junto al lugar de la sangre de la culpa.

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

29 E l aceite que el sacerdote tenga aún en la mano lo untará en la cabeza del que se purifica, para reconciliarlo delante del Señor.

And the remainder of the oil that is in the priest's hand he shall put upon the head of him that is to be cleansed, to make atonement for him before Jehovah.

30 O frecerá además una de las tórtolas o uno de los palominos, según sus posibilidades;

And he shall offer one of the turtle-doves, or of the young pigeons, of what his hand was able to get;

31 u no de ellos como sacrificio de expiación por el pecado, y el otro en holocausto, además de la ofrenda. Así el sacerdote hará expiación delante del Señor por el que se purifica.»

of what his hand was able to get shall the one be a sin-offering, and the other a burnt-offering, with the oblation; and the priest shall make atonement for him that is to be cleansed before Jehovah.

32 E sta ley es para los que han tenido una plaga de lepra y no tienen más que dar para su purificación.

This is the law for him in whom is the sore of leprosy, whose hand cannot get what is in his cleansing.

33 E l Señor habló con Moisés y Aarón, y les dijo:

And Jehovah spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,

34 « Cuando ustedes hayan entrado ya en la tierra de Canaán, la cual yo les doy en posesión, si acaso pongo plaga de lepra en alguna casa de esa tierra,

When ye come into the land of Canaan, which I give to you for a possession, and I put a leprous plague in a house of the land of your possession,

35 e l dueño de la casa se presentará ante el sacerdote y le dirá: “En mi casa ha aparecido algo que parece una plaga.”

then he whose house it is shall come and tell the priest, saying, It seemeth to me like a plague in the house;

36 » Antes de entrar a examinar la plaga, el sacerdote mandará desocupar la casa, para que no se contamine todo lo que haya en ella; después de eso, el sacerdote entrará y la examinará.

and the priest shall command that they empty the house before the priest go into it to see the plague, that all that is in the house be not made unclean; and afterwards the priest shall go in to see the house.

37 S i al examinarla se ve que la casa tiene en las paredes manchas verdosas o rojizas, y que éstas se ven más hundidas que la superficie de la pared,

And when he looketh on the plague, and behold, the plague is in the walls of the house, greenish or reddish hollows, and their look is deeper than the surface of the wall,

38 e l sacerdote saldrá de la casa y la mantendrá cerrada durante siete días.

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

39 A l séptimo día, volverá y la examinará. Si la plaga se ha extendido por las paredes de la casa,

And the priest shall come again the seventh day, and when he looketh, and behold, the plague hath spread in the walls of the house,

40 e l sacerdote ordenará que se quiten las piedras donde esté la plaga, y que sean arrojadas fuera de la ciudad, en un lugar impuro.

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

41 L uego ordenará que se raspe la casa por dentro y a su alrededor, que el barro raspado se arroje fuera de la ciudad, en un lugar impuro,

And he shall cause the house to be scraped within round about, and they shall pour out the mortar that they have scraped off, out of the city in an unclean place.

42 y que las piedras que se hayan quitado se repongan con otras piedras nuevas, y que se recubra la casa con barro nuevo.

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

43 » Si después de arrancar las piedras y de raspar la casa, y de haberla recubierto con barro nuevo, la plaga vuelve a brotar,

And if the plague come again, and break out in the house, after he hath taken away the stones, and after he hath scraped the house, and after it is plastered,

44 e l sacerdote irá a la casa y la examinará. Si la plaga parece haberse extendido en la casa, entonces se trata de lepra maligna y la casa será declarada impura.

then the priest shall come, and when he looketh, and behold, the plague hath spread in the house, it is a corroding leprosy in the house: it is unclean.

45 P or lo tanto, se derribará la casa, y sus piedras y maderos, y toda la mezcla, se arrojarán fuera de la ciudad, en un lugar impuro.

And they shall break down the house, the stones of it, and the timber thereof, and all the mortar of the house, and shall carry them forth out of the city to an unclean place.

46 » Cualquiera que entre en esa casa durante los días en que el sacerdote ordenó cerrarla, se quedará impuro hasta el anochecer.

And he that goeth into the house as long as it is shut up shall be unclean until the even.

47 » Cualquiera que duerma en esa casa deberá lavar sus vestidos. »Cualquiera que coma en esa casa deberá lavar sus vestidos.

And he that sleepeth in the house shall wash his garments, and he that eateth in the house shall wash his garments.

48 » Pero si el sacerdote entra a examinarla, y ve que la plaga no se ha extendido en la casa después de haber sido recubierta, declarará limpia la casa porque la plaga ha desaparecido.

But if the priest shall come in and look, and behold, the plague hath not spread in the house, after the house hath been plastered, the priest shall pronounce the house clean; for the plague is healed.

49 P ara limpiar la casa tomará dos aves, madera de cedro, grana e hisopo,

And he shall take, to purge the house from the defilement, two birds, and cedar-wood, and scarlet, and hyssop;

50 y degollará una de las aves en una vasija de barro con agua corriente.

and he shall kill one bird in an earthen vessel over running water;

51 T omará luego el cedro, el hisopo, la grana y el ave viva, y los mojará en la sangre del ave muerta y en las aguas corrientes, y rociará la casa siete veces.

and he shall take the cedar-wood and the hyssop and the scarlet, and the living bird, and dip them in the blood of the bird that was killed, and in the running water, and sprinkle the house seven times;

52 P urificará la casa con la sangre del ave, con el agua corriente, y con el ave viva, la madera de cedro, el hisopo y la grana.

and he shall purge the house from the defilement with the blood of the bird, and with the running water, and with the living bird, and with the cedar-wood, and with the hyssop, and with the scarlet;

53 L uego soltará el ave viva en el campo, fuera de la ciudad. Así el sacerdote hará expiación por la casa, y ésta quedará purificada.»

and he shall let the living bird loose out of the city into the open field; and he shall make atonement for the house, and it is clean.

54 É sta es la ley acerca de toda plaga de lepra y de tiña,

This is the law for every sore of leprosy, and for the scall,

55 y de lepra del vestido y de la casa,

and for the leprosy of garments, and of houses,

56 y acerca de la hinchazón, la erupción y la mancha blanca,

and for the rising, and for the scab, and for the bright spot,

57 p ara enseñar al pueblo lo que es puro y lo que es impuro. Ésta es la ley acerca de la lepra.

to teach when there is uncleanness, and when it is purified: this is the law of leprosy.
