1
Kisha Bwana akanena na Musa na Haruni, na kuwaambia,
Then the LORD said to Moses and Aaron,
2
Mtu atakapokuwa na kivimbe katika ngozi ya mwili wake, au kikoko, au kipaku king'aacho, nalo likawa pigo la ukoma katika ngozi ya mwili wake, ndipo atakapoletwa kwa Haruni kuhani, au kwa wanawe, makuhani mmojawapo;
“When someone has a swelling or rash or bright spot on his skin that may be an infectious skin disease, he must be brought to Aaron the priest or to one of his sons who is a priest.
3
na huyo kuhani ataliangalia hilo pigo lililo katika ngozi ya mwili; na kwamba malaika yaliyo katika hilo pigo yamegeuka kuwa meupe, na hilo pigo kuonekana kwake limeingia ndani kuliko ile ngozi ya mwili wake, ni pigo la ukoma hilo; na kuhani atamwangalia na kusema kuwa yu mwenye unajisi.
The priest is to examine the infection on his skin, and if the hair in the infection has turned white and the sore appears to be deeper than the skin, it is a skin disease. After the priest examines him, he must pronounce him unclean.
4
Na hicho kipaku king'aacho, kwamba ni cheupe katika ngozi ya mwili wake, na kuonekana kwake si shimo la kuingia ndani kuliko ngozi, na malaika hayakugeuka kuwa meupe, ndipo kuhani atamweka mahali muda wa siku saba huyo aliye na hilo pigo;
If, however, the spot on his skin is white and does not appear to be deeper than the skin, and the hair in it has not turned white, the priest shall isolate the infected person for seven days.
5
kisha kuhani atamwangalia siku ya saba; naye akiona ya kuwa pigo limeshangaa, na pigo halikwendelea mbele katika ngozi yake, ndipo kuhani atamweka mahali muda wa siku saba tena;
On the seventh day the priest is to reexamine him, and if he sees that the infection is unchanged and has not spread on the skin, the priest must isolate him for another seven days.
6
kisha siku ya saba kuhani atamwangalia tena; na tazama, ikiwa hilo pigo limeanza kufifia, wala pigo halikwendelea mbele katika ngozi yake, ndipo kuhani atasema kuwa yu safi; ni kikoko; naye atazifua nguo zake, kisha atakuwa yu safi.
The priest will examine him again on the seventh day, and if the sore has faded and has not spread on the skin, the priest shall pronounce him clean; it is a rash. The person must wash his clothes and be clean.
7
Lakini kwamba kikoko kimeenea katika ngozi yake baada ya kuonyesha nafsi yake kwa kuhani kwa kupata kutakaswa kwake ataonyesha nafsi yake tena kwa kuhani;
But if the rash spreads further on his skin after he has shown himself to the priest for his cleansing, he must present himself again to the priest.
8
na kuhani ataangalia, na tazama ikiwa hicho kikoko kimeenea katika ngozi, ndipo kuhani atasema kuwa yu najisi; ni ukoma.
The priest will reexamine him, and if the rash has spread on the skin, the priest must pronounce him unclean; it is a skin disease.
9
Pigo la ukoma litakapokuwa katika mtu, ndipo ataletwa kwa kuhani;
When anyone develops a skin disease, he must be brought to the priest.
10
na kuhani ataangalia, na tazama, ikiwa pana kivimbe cheupe katika ngozi yake, na malaika yamegeuzwa kuwa meupe, tena ikiwa pana nyama mbichi iliyomea katika kile kivimbe,
The priest will examine him, and if there is a white swelling on the skin that has turned the hair white, and there is raw flesh in the swelling,
11
ni ukoma wa zamani ulio katika ngozi ya mwili wake, na kuhani atasema kuwa yu najisi; hatamweka mahali, kwa kuwa yeye yuna unajisi.
it is a chronic skin disease and the priest must pronounce him unclean. He need not isolate him, for he is unclean.
12
Tena kwamba huo ukoma ukitokeza katika ngozi yake, na ukoma ukamwenea ngozi yote, tangu kichwa hata miguuni, kama aonavyo kuhani;
But if the skin disease breaks out all over his skin so that it covers all the skin of the infected person from head to foot, as far as the priest can see,
13
ndipo huyo kuhani ataangalia; na tazama, ikiwa ukoma umemwenea mwili wake wote, atasema kuwa yu safi huyo aliye na hilo pigo umegeuka kuwa mweupe wote; yeye ni safi.
the priest shall examine him, and if the disease has covered his entire body, he is to pronounce the infected person clean. Since it has all turned white, he is clean.
14
Lakini po pote itakapoonekana nyama mbichi kwake mtu huyo, atakuwa yu najisi.
But whenever raw flesh appears on someone, he will be unclean.
15
Kuhani ataiangalia hiyo nyama mbichi, naye atasema kuwa yu najisi; ile nyama mbichi ni najisi; ni ukoma.
When the priest sees the raw flesh, he must pronounce him unclean. The raw flesh is unclean; it is a skin disease.
16
Au kama hiyo nyama mbichi iligeuka tena, na kugeuzwa kuwa nyeupe, ndipo atamwendea kuhani,
But if the raw flesh changes and turns white, he must go to the priest.
17
na huyo kuhani atamwangalia; na tazama, ikiwa hilo pigo limegeuzwa kuwa jeupe, ndipo huyo kuhani atasema kuwa yu safi huyo aliyekuwa na pigo; yeye yu safi.
The priest will reexamine him, and if the infection has turned white, the priest is to pronounce the infected person clean; then he is clean.
18
Tena mwili wa mtu utakapokuwa na jipu katika ngozi yake, nalo limepoa,
When a boil appears on someone’s skin and it heals,
19
na mahali palipokuwa na lile jipu pana kivimbe cheupe, au kipaku king'aacho, cheupe lakini chekundu kidogo, ndipo atamwonyesha kuhani mahali hapo;
and a white swelling or a reddish-white spot develops where the boil was, he must present himself to the priest.
20
na kuhani ataangalia, na tazama, kwamba kumeonekana kuingia ndani kuliko ngozi yenyewe, na malaika yakiwa yamegeuka kuwa meupe, ndipo kuhani atasema kwamba yu najisi; ni pigo la ukoma limetokea katika hilo jipu.
The priest shall examine it, and if it appears to be beneath the skin and the hair in it has turned white, the priest shall pronounce him unclean; it is a diseased infection that has broken out in the boil.
21
Lakini kuhani akipaangalia, na tazama hamna malaika meupe ndani yake, wala hapana pa kuingia ndani kuliko ile ngozi, lakini paanza kufifia, ndipo kuhani atamweka mahali muda wa siku saba;
But when the priest examines it, if there is no white hair in it, and it is not beneath the skin and has faded, the priest shall isolate him for seven days.
22
na kwamba pameenea katika ngozi, ndipo kuhani atasema kwamba yu najisi; hili ni pigo.
If it spreads any further on the skin, the priest must pronounce him unclean; it is an infection.
23
Lakini ikiwa kipaku hicho king'aacho kimeshangaa pale pale, wala hakienei, ni kovu ya jipu; na kuhani atasema kwamba yu safi.
But if the spot remains unchanged and does not spread, it is only the scar from the boil, and the priest shall pronounce him clean.
24
Au mwili wa mtu ukiwa una mahali katika ngozi yake penye moto, na hiyo nyama iliyomea pale penye moto, kama kikiwa kipaku chekundu kidogo, au cheupe;
When there is a burn on someone’s skin and the raw area of the burn becomes reddish-white or white,
25
ndipo kuhani atapaangalia; na tazama, yakiwa malaika yaliyo katika kile kipaku yamegeuka kuwa meupe, na kwamba kumeonekana kuingia ndani kuliko ngozi yenyewe; ni ukoma, umetokea katika mahali penye moto; na kuhani atasema kwamba yu najisi; hili ni pigo la ukoma.
the priest must examine it. If the hair in the spot has turned white and the spot appears to be deeper than the skin, it is a disease that has broken out in the burn. The priest must pronounce him unclean; it is a diseased infection.
26
Lakini kuhani akipaangalia, na tazama, malaika meupe hamna katika hicho kipaku king'aacho, nacho hakikuingia ndani kuliko ngozi, lakini chafifia; ndipo kuhani atamweka mahali muda wa siku saba;
But if the priest examines it and there is no white hair in the spot, and it is not beneath the skin but has faded, the priest shall isolate him for seven days.
27
na kuhani atamwangalia siku ya saba; kama kimeenea katika ngozi, ndipo huyo kuhani atasema kwamba yu najisi; hili ni pigo la ukoma.
On the seventh day the priest is to reexamine him, and if it has spread further on the skin, the priest must pronounce him unclean; it is a diseased infection.
28
Na kama hicho kipaku kikishangaa pale pale, wala hakikuenea katika ngozi, lakini kimefifia; ni kufura kwake pale penye moto, na kuhani atasema kwamba yu safi; kwa kuwa ni kovu la kuwasha hili.
But if the spot is unchanged and has not spread on the skin but has faded, it is a swelling from the burn, and the priest is to pronounce him clean; for it is only the scar from the burn.
29
Tena mtu, mume au mke, akiwa na pigo juu ya kichwa, au katika ndevu zake,
If a man or woman has an infection on the head or chin,
30
ndipo kuhani ataliangalia hilo pigo; na tazama, kwamba kumeonekana kuingia ndani kuliko ngozi yenyewe, tena zikiwamo nywele za rangi ya manjano kisha nyembamba, ndipo kuhani atasema kwamba yu najisi, maana, ni kipwepwe, ni ukoma wa kichwa, au wa ndevu.
the priest shall examine the infection, and if it appears to be deeper than the skin and the hair in it is yellow and thin, the priest must pronounce him unclean; it is a scaly outbreak, an infectious disease of the head or chin.
31
Tena kuhani akiliangalia lile pigo la kipwepwe, na tazama, kwamba kumeonekana si kuingia ndani kuliko ngozi yenyewe, wala hamna nywele nyeusi ndani yake, ndipo kuhani atamweka mahali huyo aliye na pigo la kipwepwe muda wa siku saba;
But if the priest examines the scaly infection and it does not appear to be deeper than the skin, and there is no black hair in it, the priest shall isolate the infected person for seven days.
32
na siku ya saba kuhani ataliangalia hilo pigo; na ikiwa hicho kipwepwe hakikuenea, wala hamna nywele za rangi ya manjano ndani yake, na kwamba kipwepwe hakionekani kuingia ndani kuliko ngozi yenyewe,
On the seventh day the priest is to reexamine the infection, and if the scaly outbreak has not spread and there is no yellow hair in it, and it does not appear to be deeper than the skin,
33
ndipo huyo mtu atanyolewa, lakini hicho kipwepwe hatakinyoa; na kuhani atamweka mahali huyo aliye na kipwepwe muda wa siku saba tena;
then the person must shave himself except for the scaly area. Then the priest shall isolate him for another seven days.
34
na siku ya saba kuhani atakiangalia hicho kipwepwe, na tazama, ikiwa kipwepwe hakikuenea katika ngozi yake, wala hakionekani kuingia ndani kuliko ngozi; ndipo huyo kuhani atasema kwamba yu safi; naye atazifua nguo zake, naye atakuwa yu safi.
On the seventh day the priest shall examine the scaly outbreak, and if it has not spread on the skin and does not appear to be deeper than the skin, the priest is to pronounce him clean. He must wash his clothes, and he will be clean.
35
Lakini hicho kipwepwe kama kikienea katika ngozi yake baada ya kutakasika kwake;
If, however, the scaly outbreak spreads further on the skin after his cleansing,
36
ndipo kuhani atamwangalia; na ikiwa hicho kipwepwe kimeenea katika ngozi yake, kuhani hatatafuta hizo nywele za rangi ya manjano; yeye yu najisi.
the priest is to examine him, and if the scaly outbreak has spread on the skin, the priest need not look for yellow hair; the person is unclean.
37
Lakini akiona ya kuwa hicho kipwepwe kimeshangaa, na nywele nyeusi zimemea humo; hicho kipwepwe kimepoa, naye yu safi, na huyo kuhani atasema kwamba yu safi.
If, however, in his sight the scaly outbreak is unchanged and black hair has grown in it, then it has healed. He is clean, and the priest is to pronounce him clean.
38
Mtu, mume au mke, atakapokuwa na vipaku ving'aavyo katika ngozi ya mwili, vipaku ving'aavyo vyeupe;
When a man or a woman has white spots on the skin,
39
ndipo kuhani ataangalia; na tazama, ikiwa vile vipaku ving'aavyo vilivyo katika ngozi ya mwili wake ni vyeupe kidogo; ni mba hivyo, imetokea katika ngozi; yeye yu safi.
the priest shall examine them, and if the spots are dull white, it is a harmless rash that has broken out on the skin; the person is clean.
40
Kwamba nywele za mtu zimemtoka kichwani mwake, yeye ni mwenye upaa, yu safi.
Now if a man loses his hair and is bald, he is still clean.
41
Tena kwamba nywele za mtu zimemtoka kichwani upande wa mbele, yeye ni mwenye upaa wa kipaji; yu safi.
Or if his hairline recedes and he is bald on his forehead, he is still clean.
42
Lakini kwamba katika kile kichwa kilicho na upaa, au kile kipaji kilicho na upaa, laonekana pigo jeupe kisha jekundu kidogo; ni ukoma, unatokea katika kichwa chake cha upaa, au katika kipaji chake cha upaa.
But if there is a reddish-white sore on the bald head or forehead, it is an infectious disease breaking out on it.
43
Ndipo kuhani atamwangalia; na tazama, kivimbe cha pigo kikiwa cheupe na chekundu-chekundu, katika kichwa chake chenye upaa, au katika kipaji chake cha upaa, kama vile kuonekana kwa ukoma katika ngozi ya mwili;
The priest is to examine him, and if the swelling of the infection on his bald head or forehead is reddish-white like a skin disease,
44
yeye ni mtu mwenye ukoma, yu najisi; na kuhani hana budi atasema kuwa yu najisi; pigo lake li katika kichwa chake.
the man is diseased; he is unclean. The priest must pronounce him unclean because of the infection on his head.
45
Kisha mwenye ukoma aliye na pigo ndani yake, nguo zake zitararuliwa, na nywele za kichwa chake zitaachwa wazi, naye atafunika mdomo wake wa juu, naye atapiga kelele, Ni najisi, ni najisi.
A diseased person must wear torn clothes and let his hair hang loose, and he must cover his mouth and cry out, ‘Unclean, unclean!’
46
Siku zote ambazo pigo li ndani yake, yeye atakuwa mwenye unajisi; yeye yu najisi; atakaa peke yake; makazi yake yatakuwa nje ya marago.
As long as he has the infection, he remains unclean. He must live alone in a place outside the camp.
47
Tena, vazi nalo ambalo pigo la ukoma li ndani yake, kwamba ni vazi la sufu, au kwamba ni la kitani;
If any fabric is contaminated with mildew—any wool or linen garment,
48
likiwa limefumwa, au kusokotwa; likiwa ni la kitani au la sufu; kwamba ni katika ngozi, au kitu cho chote kilichofanywa cha ngozi;
any weave or knit of linen or wool, or any article of leather—
49
hilo pigo likiwa la rangi ya majani au jekundu, katika vazi, au katika ngozi, au katika lililofumwa, au katika lililosokotwa, au katika kitu cho chote cha ngozi; ni pigo la ukoma, nalo ataonyeshwa kuhani;
and if the mark in the fabric, leather, weave, knit, or leather article is green or red, then it is contaminated with mildew and must be shown to the priest.
50
na kuhani ataliangalia hilo pigo, naye atakiweka mahali kile kilicho na pigo muda wa siku saba;
And the priest is to examine the mildew and isolate the contaminated fabric for seven days.
51
kisha siku ya saba ataliangalia hilo pigo; kama pigo limeenea katika hilo lililofumwa, au katika hilo lililosokotwa, au katika ngozi, ijapokuwa hiyo ngozi ina matumizi yo yote; hilo pigo ni ukoma unaokula; vazi hilo ni najisi.
On the seventh day the priest shall reexamine it, and if the mildew has spread in the fabric, weave, knit, or leather, then regardless of how it is used, it is a harmful mildew; the article is unclean.
52
Naye atalichoma moto vazi hilo, kwamba ni lililofumwa au kwamba ni lililosokotwa, kama ni la sufu, au la kitani, au kitu cho chote cha ngozi, ambacho kina hilo pigo ndani yake; kwa maana, ni ukoma unaokula; vazi hilo litachomwa moto;
He is to burn the fabric, weave, or knit, whether the contaminated item is wool or linen or leather. Since the mildew is harmful, the article must be burned up.
53
Na kama kuhani akitazama, na tazama, ikiwa hilo pigo halikuenea katika hilo vazi, wala katika hilo lililofumwa, wala katika hilo lililosokotwa, wala katika kitu cho chote cha ngozi;
But when the priest reexamines it, if the mildew has not spread in the fabric, weave, knit, or leather article,
54
ndipo kuhani ataamuru kwamba wakifue kitu kile kilicho na hilo pigo, naye atakiweka mahali muda wa siku saba tena;
the priest is to order the contaminated article to be washed and isolated for another seven days.
55
kisha kuhani ataangalia, baada ya kuoshwa hilo pigo; na tazama, ikiwa hilo pigo halikugeuka rangi yake, wala halikuenea, li najisi; utakichoma moto; ni uharibifu likiwa lina upaa ndani au nje.
After it has been washed, the priest is to reexamine it, and if the mildewed article has not changed in appearance, it is unclean. Even though the mildew has not spread, you must burn it, whether the rot is on the front or back.
56
Huyo kuhani akiangalia, na tazama, ikiwa hilo pigo limeanza kufifia, baada ya kufuliwa kwake, ndipo atalirarua hilo pigo litoke katika vazi, au katika ngozi, au katika lililofumwa, au katika lililosokotwa;
If the priest examines it and the mildew has faded after it has been washed, he must cut the contaminated section out of the fabric, leather, weave, or knit.
57
kisha, likionekana li vivyo katika hilo vazi, katika lililofumwa, au katika lililosokotwa, au katika kitu cho chote cha ngozi, ni pigo lenye kuenea; nawe vazi hilo lenye pigo utalichoma moto.
But if it reappears in the fabric, weave, or knit, or on any leather article, it is spreading. You must burn the contaminated article.
58
Na hilo vazi, lililofumwa, au lililosokotwa, au kitu cho chote cha ngozi, utakalolifua, kama hilo pigo limetoka na kuliacha, ndipo litafuliwa mara ya pili, nalo litakuwa safi.
If the mildew disappears from the fabric, weave, or knit, or any leather article after washing, then it is to be washed again, and it will be clean.
59
Na katika pigo la ukoma katika vazi la sufu, au la kitani, kama ni katika lililofumwa, au lililosokotwa, au katika kitu cho chote cha ngozi, sheria yake ni hiyo, kusema kwamba ni safi, au kusema kwamba ni najisi. </p>
This is the law concerning a mildew contamination in wool or linen fabric, weave, or knit, or any leather article, for pronouncing it clean or unclean.”
