1 H abló Jehová a Moisés y a Aarón, diciendo:

And the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying:

2 C uando el hombre tuviere en la piel de su cuerpo hinchazón, o erupción, o mancha blanca, y hubiere en la piel de su cuerpo como llaga de lepra, será traído a Aarón el sacerdote o a uno de sus hijos los sacerdotes.

“When a man has on the skin of his body a swelling, a scab, or a bright spot, and it becomes on the skin of his body like a leprous sore, then he shall be brought to Aaron the priest or to one of his sons the priests.

3 Y el sacerdote mirará la llaga en la piel del cuerpo; si el pelo en la llaga se ha vuelto blanco, y pareciere la llaga más profunda que la piel de la carne, llaga de lepra es; y el sacerdote le reconocerá, y le declarará inmundo.

The priest shall examine the sore on the skin of the body; and if the hair on the sore has turned white, and the sore appears to be deeper than the skin of his body, it is a leprous sore. Then the priest shall examine him, and pronounce him unclean.

4 Y si en la piel de su cuerpo hubiere mancha blanca, pero que no pareciere más profunda que la piel, ni el pelo se hubiere vuelto blanco, entonces el sacerdote encerrará al llagado por siete días.

But if the bright spot is white on the skin of his body, and does not appear to be deeper than the skin, and its hair has not turned white, then the priest shall isolate the one who has the sore seven days.

5 Y al séptimo día el sacerdote lo mirará; y si la llaga conserva el mismo aspecto, no habiéndose extendido en la piel, entonces el sacerdote le volverá a encerrar por otros siete días.

And the priest shall examine him on the seventh day; and indeed if the sore appears to be as it was, and the sore has not spread on the skin, then the priest shall isolate him another seven days.

6 Y al séptimo día el sacerdote le reconocerá de nuevo; y si parece haberse oscurecido la llaga, y que no ha cundido en la piel, entonces el sacerdote lo declarará limpio: era erupción; y lavará sus vestidos, y será limpio.

Then the priest shall examine him again on the seventh day; and indeed if the sore has faded, and the sore has not spread on the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him clean; it is only a scab, and he shall wash his clothes and be clean.

7 P ero si se extendiere la erupción en la piel después que él se mostró al sacerdote para ser limpio, deberá mostrarse otra vez al sacerdote.

But if the scab should at all spread over the skin, after he has been seen by the priest for his cleansing, he shall be seen by the priest again.

8 Y si reconociéndolo el sacerdote ve que la erupción se ha extendido en la piel, lo declarará inmundo: es lepra.

And if the priest sees that the scab has indeed spread on the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean. It is leprosy.

9 C uando hubiere llaga de lepra en el hombre, será traído al sacerdote.

“When the leprous sore is on a person, then he shall be brought to the priest.

10 Y éste lo mirará, y si apareciere tumor blanco en la piel, el cual haya mudado el color del pelo, y se descubre asimismo la carne viva,

And the priest shall examine him; and indeed if the swelling on the skin is white, and it has turned the hair white, and there is a spot of raw flesh in the swelling,

11 e s lepra crónica en la piel de su cuerpo; y le declarará inmundo el sacerdote, y no le encerrará, porque es inmundo.

it is an old leprosy on the skin of his body. The priest shall pronounce him unclean, and shall not isolate him, for he is unclean.

12 M as si brotare la lepra cundiendo por la piel, de modo que cubriere toda la piel del llagado desde la cabeza hasta sus pies, hasta donde pueda ver el sacerdote,

“And if leprosy breaks out all over the skin, and the leprosy covers all the skin of the one who has the sore, from his head to his foot, wherever the priest looks,

13 e ntonces éste le reconocerá; y si la lepra hubiere cubierto todo su cuerpo, declarará limpio al llagado; toda ella se ha vuelto blanca, y él es limpio.

then the priest shall consider; and indeed if the leprosy has covered all his body, he shall pronounce him clean who has the sore. It has all turned white. He is clean.

14 M as el día que apareciere en él la carne viva, será inmundo.

But when raw flesh appears on him, he shall be unclean.

15 Y el sacerdote mirará la carne viva, y lo declarará inmundo. Es inmunda la carne viva; es lepra.

And the priest shall examine the raw flesh and pronounce him to be unclean; for the raw flesh is unclean. It is leprosy.

16 M as cuando la carne viva cambiare y se volviere blanca, entonces vendrá al sacerdote,

Or if the raw flesh changes and turns white again, he shall come to the priest.

17 y el sacerdote mirará; y si la llaga se hubiere vuelto blanca, el sacerdote declarará limpio al que tenía la llaga, y será limpio.

And the priest shall examine him; and indeed if the sore has turned white, then the priest shall pronounce him clean who has the sore. He is clean.

18 Y cuando en la piel de la carne hubiere divieso, y se sanare,

“If the body develops a boil in the skin, and it is healed,

19 y en el lugar del divieso hubiere una hinchazón, o una mancha blanca rojiza, será mostrado al sacerdote.

and in the place of the boil there comes a white swelling or a bright spot, reddish-white, then it shall be shown to the priest;

20 Y el sacerdote mirará; y si pareciere estar más profunda que la piel, y su pelo se hubiere vuelto blanco, el sacerdote lo declarará inmundo; es llaga de lepra que se originó en el divieso.

and if, when the priest sees it, it indeed appears deeper than the skin, and its hair has turned white, the priest shall pronounce him unclean. It is a leprous sore which has broken out of the boil.

21 Y si el sacerdote la considerare, y no apareciere en ella pelo blanco, ni fuere más profunda que la piel, sino oscura, entonces el sacerdote le encerrará por siete días;

But if the priest examines it, and indeed there are no white hairs in it, and it is not deeper than the skin, but has faded, then the priest shall isolate him seven days;

22 y si se fuere extendiendo por la piel, entonces el sacerdote lo declarará inmundo; es llaga.

and if it should at all spread over the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean. It is a leprous sore.

23 P ero si la mancha blanca se estuviere en su lugar, y no se hubiere extendido, es la cicatriz del divieso, y el sacerdote lo declarará limpio.

But if the bright spot stays in one place, and has not spread, it is the scar of the boil; and the priest shall pronounce him clean.

24 A simismo cuando hubiere en la piel del cuerpo quemadura de fuego, y hubiere en lo sanado del fuego mancha blanquecina, rojiza o blanca,

“Or if the body receives a burn on its skin by fire, and the raw flesh of the burn becomes a bright spot, reddish-white or white,

25 e l sacerdote la mirará; y si el pelo se hubiere vuelto blanco en la mancha, y ésta pareciere ser más profunda que la piel, es lepra que salió en la quemadura; y el sacerdote lo declarará inmundo, por ser llaga de lepra.

then the priest shall examine it; and indeed if the hair of the bright spot has turned white, and it appears deeper than the skin, it is leprosy broken out in the burn. Therefore the priest shall pronounce him unclean. It is a leprous sore.

26 M as si el sacerdote la mirare, y no apareciere en la mancha pelo blanco, ni fuere más profunda que la piel, sino que estuviere oscura, le encerrará el sacerdote por siete días.

But if the priest examines it, and indeed there are no white hairs in the bright spot, and it is not deeper than the skin, but has faded, then the priest shall isolate him seven days.

27 Y al séptimo día el sacerdote la reconocerá; y si se hubiere ido extendiendo por la piel, el sacerdote lo declarará inmundo; es llaga de lepra.

And the priest shall examine him on the seventh day. If it has at all spread over the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean. It is a leprous sore.

28 P ero si la mancha se estuviere en su lugar, y no se hubiere extendido en la piel, sino que estuviere oscura, es la cicatriz de la quemadura; el sacerdote lo declarará limpio, porque señal de la quemadura es.

But if the bright spot stays in one place, and has not spread on the skin, but has faded, it is a swelling from the burn. The priest shall pronounce him clean, for it is the scar from the burn.

29 Y al hombre o mujer que le saliere llaga en la cabeza, o en la barba,

“If a man or woman has a sore on the head or the beard,

30 e l sacerdote mirará la llaga; y si pareciere ser más profunda que la piel, y el pelo de ella fuere amarillento y delgado, entonces el sacerdote le declarará inmundo; es tiña, es lepra de la cabeza o de la barba.

then the priest shall examine the sore; and indeed if it appears deeper than the skin, and there is in it thin yellow hair, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean. It is a scaly leprosy of the head or beard.

31 M as cuando el sacerdote hubiere mirado la llaga de la tiña, y no pareciere ser más profunda que la piel, ni hubiere en ella pelo negro, el sacerdote encerrará por siete días al llagado de la tiña;

But if the priest examines the scaly sore, and indeed it does not appear deeper than the skin, and there is no black hair in it, then the priest shall isolate the one who has the scale seven days.

32 y al séptimo día el sacerdote mirará la llaga; y si la tiña no pareciere haberse extendido, ni hubiere en ella pelo amarillento, ni pareciere la tiña más profunda que la piel,

And on the seventh day the priest shall examine the sore; and indeed if the scale has not spread, and there is no yellow hair in it, and the scale does not appear deeper than the skin,

33 e ntonces le hará que se rasure, pero no rasurará el lugar afectado; y el sacerdote encerrará por otros siete días al que tiene la tiña.

he shall shave himself, but the scale he shall not shave. And the priest shall isolate the one who has the scale another seven days.

34 Y al séptimo día mirará el sacerdote la tiña; y si la tiña no hubiere cundido en la piel, ni pareciere ser más profunda que la piel, el sacerdote lo declarará limpio; y lavará sus vestidos y será limpio.

On the seventh day the priest shall examine the scale; and indeed if the scale has not spread over the skin, and does not appear deeper than the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him clean. He shall wash his clothes and be clean.

35 P ero si la tiña se hubiere ido extendiendo en la piel después de su purificación,

But if the scale should at all spread over the skin after his cleansing,

36 e ntonces el sacerdote la mirará; y si la tiña hubiere cundido en la piel, no busque el sacerdote el pelo amarillento; es inmundo.

then the priest shall examine him; and indeed if the scale has spread over the skin, the priest need not seek for yellow hair. He is unclean.

37 M as si le pareciere que la tiña está detenida, y que ha salido en ella el pelo negro, la tiña está sanada; él está limpio, y limpio lo declarará el sacerdote.

But if the scale appears to be at a standstill, and there is black hair grown up in it, the scale has healed. He is clean, and the priest shall pronounce him clean.

38 A simismo cuando el hombre o la mujer tuviere en la piel de su cuerpo manchas, manchas blancas,

“If a man or a woman has bright spots on the skin of the body, specifically white bright spots,

39 e l sacerdote mirará, y si en la piel de su cuerpo aparecieren manchas blancas algo oscurecidas, es empeine que brotó en la piel; está limpia la persona.

then the priest shall look; and indeed if the bright spots on the skin of the body are dull white, it is a white spot that grows on the skin. He is clean.

40 Y el hombre, cuando se le cayere el cabello, es calvo, pero limpio.

“As for the man whose hair has fallen from his head, he is bald, but he is clean.

41 Y si hacia su frente se le cayere el cabello, es calvo por delante, pero limpio.

He whose hair has fallen from his forehead, he is bald on the forehead, but he is clean.

42 M as cuando en la calva o en la antecalva hubiere llaga blanca rojiza, lepra es que brota en su calva o en su antecalva.

And if there is on the bald head or bald forehead a reddish-white sore, it is leprosy breaking out on his bald head or his bald forehead.

43 E ntonces el sacerdote lo mirará, y si pareciere la hinchazón de la llaga blanca rojiza en su calva o en su antecalva, como el parecer de la lepra de la piel del cuerpo,

Then the priest shall examine it; and indeed if the swelling of the sore is reddish-white on his bald head or on his bald forehead, as the appearance of leprosy on the skin of the body,

44 l eproso es, es inmundo, y el sacerdote lo declarará luego inmundo; en su cabeza tiene la llaga.

he is a leprous man. He is unclean. The priest shall surely pronounce him unclean; his sore is on his head.

45 Y el leproso en quien hubiere llaga llevará vestidos rasgados y su cabeza descubierta, y embozado pregonará:!! Inmundo!!! Inmundo!

“Now the leper on whom the sore is, his clothes shall be torn and his head bare; and he shall cover his mustache, and cry, ‘Unclean! Unclean!’

46 T odo el tiempo que la llaga estuviere en él, será inmundo; estará impuro, y habitará solo; fuera del campamento será su morada.

He shall be unclean. All the days he has the sore he shall be unclean. He is unclean, and he shall dwell alone; his dwelling shall be outside the camp. The Law Concerning Leprous Garments

47 C uando en un vestido hubiere plaga de lepra, ya sea vestido de lana, o de lino,

“Also, if a garment has a leprous plague in it, whether it is a woolen garment or a linen garment,

48 o en urdimbre o en trama de lino o de lana, o en cuero, o en cualquiera obra de cuero;

whether it is in the warp or woof of linen or wool, whether in leather or in anything made of leather,

49 y la plaga fuere verdosa, o rojiza, en vestido o en cuero, en urdimbre o en trama, o en cualquiera obra de cuero; plaga es de lepra, y se ha de mostrar al sacerdote.

and if the plague is greenish or reddish in the garment or in the leather, whether in the warp or in the woof, or in anything made of leather, it is a leprous plague and shall be shown to the priest.

50 Y el sacerdote mirará la plaga, y encerrará la cosa plagada por siete días.

The priest shall examine the plague and isolate that which has the plague seven days.

51 Y al séptimo día mirará la plaga; y si se hubiere extendido la plaga en el vestido, en la urdimbre o en la trama, en el cuero, o en cualquiera obra que se hace de cuero, lepra maligna es la plaga; inmunda será.

And he shall examine the plague on the seventh day. If the plague has spread in the garment, either in the warp or in the woof, in the leather or in anything made of leather, the plague is an active leprosy. It is unclean.

52 S erá quemado el vestido, la urdimbre o trama de lana o de lino, o cualquiera obra de cuero en que hubiere tal plaga, porque lepra maligna es; al fuego será quemada.

He shall therefore burn that garment in which is the plague, whether warp or woof, in wool or in linen, or anything of leather, for it is an active leprosy; the garment shall be burned in the fire.

53 Y si el sacerdote mirare, y no pareciere que la plaga se haya extendido en el vestido, en la urdimbre o en la trama, o en cualquiera obra de cuero,

“But if the priest examines it, and indeed the plague has not spread in the garment, either in the warp or in the woof, or in anything made of leather,

54 e ntonces el sacerdote mandará que laven donde está la plaga, y lo encerrará otra vez por siete días.

then the priest shall command that they wash the thing in which is the plague; and he shall isolate it another seven days.

55 Y el sacerdote mirará después que la plaga fuere lavada; y si pareciere que la plaga no ha cambiado de aspecto, aunque no se haya extendido la plaga, inmunda es; la quemarás al fuego; es corrosión penetrante, esté lo raído en el derecho o en el revés de aquella cosa.

Then the priest shall examine the plague after it has been washed; and indeed if the plague has not changed its color, though the plague has not spread, it is unclean, and you shall burn it in the fire; it continues eating away, whether the damage is outside or inside.

56 M as si el sacerdote la viere, y pareciere que la plaga se ha oscurecido después que fue lavada, la cortará del vestido, del cuero, de la urdimbre o de la trama.

If the priest examines it, and indeed the plague has faded after washing it, then he shall tear it out of the garment, whether out of the warp or out of the woof, or out of the leather.

57 Y si apareciere de nuevo en el vestido, la urdimbre o trama, o en cualquiera cosa de cuero, extendiéndose en ellos, quemarás al fuego aquello en que estuviere la plaga.

But if it appears again in the garment, either in the warp or in the woof, or in anything made of leather, it is a spreading plague; you shall burn with fire that in which is the plague.

58 P ero el vestido, la urdimbre o la trama, o cualquiera cosa de cuero que lavares, y que se le quitare la plaga, se lavará segunda vez, y entonces será limpia.

And if you wash the garment, either warp or woof, or whatever is made of leather, if the plague has disappeared from it, then it shall be washed a second time, and shall be clean.

59 E sta es la ley para la plaga de la lepra del vestido de lana o de lino, o de urdimbre o de trama, o de cualquiera cosa de cuero, para que sea declarada limpia o inmunda.

“This is the law of the leprous plague in a garment of wool or linen, either in the warp or woof, or in anything made of leather, to pronounce it clean or to pronounce it unclean.”
