利未記

第14章

1 耶和華曉諭摩西說:

2 「長大痲瘋得潔淨的日子,其例乃是這樣:要帶他去見祭司;

3 祭司要出到營外察看,若見他的大痲瘋痊癒了,

4 就要吩咐人為那求潔淨的拿兩隻潔淨的活鳥和香柏木、朱紅色線,並牛膝草來。

5 祭司要吩咐用瓦器盛活水,把一隻鳥宰在上面。

6 至於那隻活鳥,祭司要把牠和香柏木、朱紅色線並牛膝草一同蘸於宰在活水上的鳥血中,

7 用以在那長大痲瘋求潔淨的人身上灑七次,就宣告[pronounce]他為潔淨,又把活鳥放在田野裏。

8 求潔淨的人當洗衣服,剃去毛髮,用水洗澡,就潔淨了;然後可以進營,只是要在自己的帳棚外居住七天。

9 第七天,再把頭上所有的頭髮與鬍鬚、眉毛,並全身的毛,都剃了;又要洗衣服,用水洗身,就潔淨了。

10 「第八天,他要取兩隻沒有殘疾的公綿羊羔[lambs]和一隻沒有殘疾、一歲的母綿羊羔[lamb],又要把調油的細麵伊法[of]十分之三為素祭,並油一羅革,一同取來。

11 行潔淨之禮的祭司要將那求潔淨的人和這些東西安置在會幕門口、耶和華面前。

12 祭司要取一隻公綿羊羔[he lamb]獻為贖愆祭,和那一羅革油一同搖一搖[wave],在耶和華面前作搖祭[wave offering]

13這綿羊羔[the lamb]宰於聖地,就是宰贖罪祭牲和燔祭牲之地;贖愆祭要歸祭司,與贖罪祭一樣;是至聖的;

14 祭司要取些贖愆祭牲的血,抹在求潔淨人的右耳垂上和右手的大拇指上,並右腳的大拇指上。

15 祭司要從那一羅革油中取些倒在自己的左手掌裏,

16 把右手的一個指頭蘸在左手的油裏,在耶和華面前用指頭彈七次。

17 將手裏所剩的油抹在那求潔淨人的右耳垂上和右手的大拇指上,並右腳的大拇指上,就是抹在贖愆祭牲的血上。

18 祭司手裏所剩的油要抹在那求潔淨人的頭上,在耶和華面前為他贖罪。

19 祭司要獻贖罪祭,為那本不潔淨、求潔淨的人贖罪;然後要宰燔祭牲,

20 把燔祭和素祭獻在壇上,為他贖罪,他就潔淨了。

21 「他若貧窮不能預備夠數,就要取一隻綿羊羔[lamb]作贖愆祭,可以搖一搖,為他贖罪;也要把調油的細麵伊法[of]十分之一為素祭,和油一羅革一同取來;

22 又照他的能力[able]取兩隻斑鳩或是兩隻雛鴿,一隻作贖罪祭,一隻作燔祭。

23 第八天,要為潔淨,把這些帶到會幕門口、耶和華面前,交給祭司。

24 祭司要把贖愆祭的綿羊羔[lamb]和那一羅革油一同搖一搖[wave],在耶和華面前作搖祭[wave offering]

25 要宰了贖愆祭的綿羊羔[lamb],取些贖愆祭牲的血,抹在那求潔淨人的右耳垂上和右手的大拇指上,並右腳的大拇指上。

26 祭司要把些油倒在自己的左手掌裏,

27 把左手裏的油,在耶和華面前,用右手的一個指頭彈七次,

28 又把手裏的油抹些在那求潔淨人的右耳垂上和右手的大拇指上,並右腳的大拇指上,就是抹贖愆祭之血的原處。

29 祭司手裏所剩的油要抹在那求潔淨人的頭上,在耶和華面前為他贖罪。

30 那人又要照他的力量獻上一隻斑鳩或是一隻雛鴿,

31 就是他所能辦的,一隻為贖罪祭,一隻為燔祭,與素祭一同獻上;祭司要在耶和華面前為他贖罪。

32 這是那有大痲瘋災病的人、不能將關乎得潔淨之物預備夠數的條例。」

33 耶和華曉諭摩西、亞倫說:

34 「你們到了我賜給你們為業的迦南地,我若使你們所得為業之地的房屋中有大痲瘋的災病,

35 房主就要去告訴祭司說:『據我看,房屋中似乎有災病。』

36 祭司還沒有進去察看災病以前,就要吩咐人把房子騰空,免得房子裏所有的都成了不潔淨;然後祭司要進去察看房子。

37 他要察看那災病,若[behold]災病在房子的牆上有發綠或發紅的凹斑紋,現象窪於牆,

38 祭司就要出到房門外,把房子封鎖七天。

39 第七天,祭司要再去察看,[behold]災病若在房子的牆上發散,

40 就要吩咐人把那有災病的石頭挖出來,扔在城外不潔淨之處;

41 也要叫人刮房內的四圍,所刮掉的灰泥要倒在城外不潔淨之處;

42 又要用別的石頭代替那挖出來的石頭,要另用灰泥墁房子。

43 「他挖出石頭,刮了房子,墁了以後,災病若在房子裏又發現,

44 祭司就要進去察看,[behold]災病若在房子裏發散,這就是房內蠶食的大痲瘋,是不潔淨。

45 他就要拆毀房子,把石頭、木頭、灰泥都搬到城外不潔淨之處。

46 並且[Moreover]在房子封鎖的時候,進去的人必不潔淨到晚上;

47 在房子裏躺著的必洗衣服;在房子裏用餐[eateth]的也必洗衣服。

48 「房子墁了以後,祭司若進去察看,見災病在房內沒有發散,就要宣告[pronounce]房子為潔淨,因為災病已經消除。

49 要為潔淨房子取兩隻鳥和香柏木、朱紅色線並牛膝草,

50 用瓦器盛活水,把一隻鳥宰在上面,

51 把香柏木、牛膝草、朱紅色線,並那活鳥,都蘸在被宰的鳥血中與活水中,用以灑房子七次。

52 要用鳥血、活水、活鳥、香柏木、牛膝草,並朱紅色線,潔淨那房子。

53 但要把活鳥放在城外田野裏。這樣為房子贖罪[make an atonement for the house],房子就潔淨了。」

54 這是為各類大痲瘋的災病和頭疥,

55 並衣服與房子的大痲瘋,

56 以及癤子、癬、火斑所立的條例,

57 指明何時為潔淨,何時為不潔淨。這是大痲瘋的條例。

Leviticus

Chapter 14

1 AND the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

2 This shall be the law for the leper in the day of his cleansing: He shall be brought to the priest;

3 And the priest shall go forth out of the camp; and the priest shall look, and if the plague of leprosy is healed in the leper,

4 Then the priest shall command to take for him who is to be cleansed two birds alive and clean and cedar wood and scarlet material and hyssop;

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

6 Then he shall take the living bird and the cedar wood and the scarlet dye and the hyssop, and shall dip them and the living bird in the blood of the bird that was killed over the running water;

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

8 And he who is to be cleansed shall wash his clothes and shave off all his hair and bathe himself in water, that he may be clean; and after that he shall come into the camp but shall tarry outside his tent seven days.

9 And on the seventh day he shall shave all the hair off his head and his beard and his eyebrows, even all his hair he shall shave off; and he shall wash his clothes and bathe his body in water, and he shall be clean.

10 And on the eighth day he shall take two male lambs without blemish and one ewe lamb of the first year without blemish and three tenth deals of fine flour, for a meal offering mixed with oil, and one half pint of oil.

11 And the priest who does the cleansing shall present the man who is to be cleansed and those things before the LORD at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation;

12 And the priest shall take one male lamb and offer it for a trespass offering, and the half pint of oil, and wave them for a wave offering before the LORD;

13 And he shall kill the male lamb in the place where he kills the sin offering and the burnt offering, in the holy place; for as the sin offering belongs to the priest, so does the trespass offering; it is most holy;

14 And the priest shall take some of the blood of the trespass offering, and the priest shall sprinkle it on the tip of the right ear of him who is to be cleansed and on the thumb of his right hand and on the great toe of his right foot;

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

16 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 And of the rest of the oil that is in his hand the priest shall sprinkle it upon the tip of the right ear of him who is to be cleansed and upon the thumb of his right hand and upon the great toe of his right foot, upon the place of the blood of the trespass offering;

18 And the rest of the oil that is in the priest's hand he shall pour upon the head of him who is to be cleansed; and the priest shall make an atonement for him before the LORD.

19 And the priest shall offer the sin offering and make an atonement for the man who is to be cleansed from his uncleanness; and afterward he shall kill the burnt offering;

20 And the priest shall offer the burnt offering and the meal offering upon the altar; and the priest shall make an atonement for him and he shall be clean.

21 And if he is poor and cannot afford so much, then he shall take one lamb for a trespass offering to be waved, to make an atonement for him, and one tenth of an ephah of fine flour mixed with oil for a meal offering, and a half pint of oil,

22 And two turtledoves or two young pigeons such as he can afford; and the one shall be a sin offering and the other a burnt offering.

23 And he shall bring them on the eighth day for his cleansing to the priest, to the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, before the LORD.

24 And the priest shall take one lamb and the half pint of oil, and the priest shall wave them for a wave offering before the LORD;

25 Then he shall kill the lamb of the trespass offering, and the priest shall take some of the blood of the trespass offering, and sprinkle it upon the tip of the right ear of him who is to be cleansed and upon the thumb of his right hand and upon the great toe of his right foot;

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

27 And the priest shall sprinkle with his right finger some of the oil that is in his left hand seven times before the LORD;

28 And the priest shall sprinkle some of the oil that is in his hand upon the tip of the right ear of him who is to be cleansed and upon the thumb of his right hand and upon the great toe of his right foot, in the place of the blood of the trespass offering;

29 And the rest of the oil that is in the priest's hand he shall sprinkle upon the head of him who is to be cleansed, to make an atonement for him before the LORD.

30 And he shall offer one of the turtledoves or of the young pigeons such as he can afford;

31 One shall be for a sin offering and the other for a burnt offering, with the meal offering; and the priest shall make an atonement for him who is to be cleansed before the LORD.

32 This is the law of him in whom is the plague of leprosy who cannot afford the regular offerings for his cleansing.

33 And the LORD spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying,

34 Speak to the children of Israel and say to them, When you come into the land of Canaan which I give to you for a possession, and I put the plague of leprosy in a house of the land of your possession,

35 The owner of the house shall come and tell the priest, saying, It seems to me that there is a plague of leprosy in the house.

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

37 And he shall look on the plague, and, behold, if the plague be in the walls of the house with greenish or reddish scales, and appear to be deeper than the wall;

38 Then the priest shall go out of the house and stand at the door and observe the house seven days;

39 And the priest shall come back again on the seventh day and shall see if the plague has spread in the walls of the house;

40 Then the priest shall command that they take away the stones in which the plague of leprosy is, and they shall cast them into an unclean place outside the city;

41 And they shall scrape the house within round about, and they shall throw out the dust that they scrape off outside the city into an unclean place;

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

43 And if the plague spreads and breaks out in the house after the stones have been taken away and after the house has been scraped and plastered,

44 Then the priest shall go in and look, and if the plague has spread in the house, it is a malignant leprosy in the house; it is unclean.

45 And they shall demolish the house, its stones and its timber and all the mortar of the house; and they shall carry them forth out of the town into an unclean place and burn it with fire.

46 Moreover, he who enters the house while it is shut up shall be unclean until the evening.

47 And he who lies in the house shall wash his clothes; and he who eats in the house shall wash his clothes.

48 And if the priest shall come in and look upon it, and, behold, the plague has not spread in the house after the house was plastered, then the priest shall pronounce the house clean, because the plague has been healed.

49 And he shall take to cleanse the house two birds alive and clean and cedar wood and hyssop and scarlet material;

50 And the priest shall command and they shall kill one of the birds in an earthen vessel over running water;

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

52 And he shall cleanse the house with the blood of the bird and with the running water and with the live bird and with the cedar wood and with hyssop and with the scarlet material;

53 But he shall let the live bird fly out of the town into the open field and make an atonement for the house; and it shall be clean.

54 This law shall be for all manner of plagues of leprosy

55 And for the plague of leprosy in a garment and of a house

56 And for a swelling and for a scab and for a shiny spot;

57 To distinguish between clean, and unclean; this is the law of leprosy.

32 這是那有大痲瘋災病的人、不能將關乎得潔淨之物預備夠數的條例。」

32 This is the law of him in whom is the plague of leprosy who cannot afford the regular offerings for his cleansing.

33 耶和華曉諭摩西、亞倫說:

33 And the LORD spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying,

34 「你們到了我賜給你們為業的迦南地,我若使你們所得為業之地的房屋中有大痲瘋的災病,

34 Speak to the children of Israel and say to them, When you come into the land of Canaan which I give to you for a possession, and I put the plague of leprosy in a house of the land of your possession,

35 房主就要去告訴祭司說:『據我看,房屋中似乎有災病。』

35 The owner of the house shall come and tell the priest, saying, It seems to me that there is a plague of leprosy in the house.

36 祭司還沒有進去察看災病以前,就要吩咐人把房子騰空,免得房子裏所有的都成了不潔淨;然後祭司要進去察看房子。

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

37 他要察看那災病,若[behold]災病在房子的牆上有發綠或發紅的凹斑紋,現象窪於牆,

37 And he shall look on the plague, and, behold, if the plague be in the walls of the house with greenish or reddish scales, and appear to be deeper than the wall;

38 祭司就要出到房門外,把房子封鎖七天。

38 Then the priest shall go out of the house and stand at the door and observe the house seven days;

39 第七天,祭司要再去察看,[behold]災病若在房子的牆上發散,

39 And the priest shall come back again on the seventh day and shall see if the plague has spread in the walls of the house;

40 就要吩咐人把那有災病的石頭挖出來,扔在城外不潔淨之處;

40 Then the priest shall command that they take away the stones in which the plague of leprosy is, and they shall cast them into an unclean place outside the city;

41 也要叫人刮房內的四圍,所刮掉的灰泥要倒在城外不潔淨之處;

41 And they shall scrape the house within round about, and they shall throw out the dust that they scrape off outside the city into an unclean place;

42 又要用別的石頭代替那挖出來的石頭,要另用灰泥墁房子。

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

43 「他挖出石頭,刮了房子,墁了以後,災病若在房子裏又發現,

43 And if the plague spreads and breaks out in the house after the stones have been taken away and after the house has been scraped and plastered,

44 祭司就要進去察看,[behold]災病若在房子裏發散,這就是房內蠶食的大痲瘋,是不潔淨。

44 Then the priest shall go in and look, and if the plague has spread in the house, it is a malignant leprosy in the house; it is unclean.

45 他就要拆毀房子,把石頭、木頭、灰泥都搬到城外不潔淨之處。

45 And they shall demolish the house, its stones and its timber and all the mortar of the house; and they shall carry them forth out of the town into an unclean place and burn it with fire.

46 並且[Moreover]在房子封鎖的時候,進去的人必不潔淨到晚上;

46 Moreover, he who enters the house while it is shut up shall be unclean until the evening.

47 在房子裏躺著的必洗衣服;在房子裏用餐[eateth]的也必洗衣服。

47 And he who lies in the house shall wash his clothes; and he who eats in the house shall wash his clothes.

48 「房子墁了以後,祭司若進去察看,見災病在房內沒有發散,就要宣告[pronounce]房子為潔淨,因為災病已經消除。

48 And if the priest shall come in and look upon it, and, behold, the plague has not spread in the house after the house was plastered, then the priest shall pronounce the house clean, because the plague has been healed.

49 要為潔淨房子取兩隻鳥和香柏木、朱紅色線並牛膝草,

49 And he shall take to cleanse the house two birds alive and clean and cedar wood and hyssop and scarlet material;

50 用瓦器盛活水,把一隻鳥宰在上面,

50 And the priest shall command and they shall kill one of the birds in an earthen vessel over running water;

51 把香柏木、牛膝草、朱紅色線,並那活鳥,都蘸在被宰的鳥血中與活水中,用以灑房子七次。

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

52 要用鳥血、活水、活鳥、香柏木、牛膝草,並朱紅色線,潔淨那房子。

52 And he shall cleanse the house with the blood of the bird and with the running water and with the live bird and with the cedar wood and with hyssop and with the scarlet material;

53 但要把活鳥放在城外田野裏。這樣為房子贖罪[make an atonement for the house],房子就潔淨了。」

53 But he shall let the live bird fly out of the town into the open field and make an atonement for the house; and it shall be clean.

54 這是為各類大痲瘋的災病和頭疥,

54 This law shall be for all manner of plagues of leprosy

55 並衣服與房子的大痲瘋,

55 And for the plague of leprosy in a garment and of a house

56 以及癤子、癬、火斑所立的條例,

56 And for a swelling and for a scab and for a shiny spot;

57 指明何時為潔淨,何時為不潔淨。這是大痲瘋的條例。

57 To distinguish between clean, and unclean; this is the law of leprosy.
