Clementine Vulgate, 1598
Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
1Locutusque est Dominus ad Moysen, et Aaron, dicens:
1And the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying:
2Homo, in cujus cute et carne ortus fuerit diversus color, sive pustula, aut quasi lucens quippiam, id est, plaga lepræ, adducetur ad Aaron sacerdotem, vel ad unum quemlibet filiorum ejus.
2The man in whose skin or flesh shalt arise a different colour or a blister, or as it were something shining, that is, the stroke of the leprosy, shall be brought to Aaron the priest, or any one of his sons.
3Qui cum viderit lepram in cute, et pilos in album mutatos colorem, ipsamque speciem lepræ humiliorem cute et carne reliqua: plaga lepræ est, et ad arbitrium ejus separabitur.
3And if he see the leprosy in his skin, and the hair turned white, and the place where the leprosy appears lower than the skin and the rest of the flesh: it is the stroke of the leprosy, and upon his judgment he shall be separated.
4Sin autem lucens candor fuerit in cute, nec humilior carne reliqua, et pili coloris pristini, recludet eum sacerdos septem diebus:
4But if there be a shining whiteness in the skin, and not lower than the other flesh, and the hair be of the former colour, the priest shall shut him up seven days.
5et considerabit die septimo: et si quidem lepra ultra non creverit, nec transierit in cute priores terminos, rursum recludet eum septem diebus aliis.
5And the seventh day he shall look on him: and if the leprosy be grown no farther, and hath not spread itself in the skin, he shall shut him up again other seven days.
6Et die septimo contemplabitur: si obscurior fuerit lepra, et non creverit in cute, mundabit eum, quia scabies est: lavabitque homo vestimenta sua, et mundus erit.
6And on the seventh day, he shall look on him: if the leprosy be somewhat obscure, and not spread in the skin, he shall declare him clean, because it is but a scab: and the man shall wash his clothes, and shall be clean.
7Quod si postquam a sacerdote visus est, et redditus munditiæ, iterum lepra creverit: adducetur ad eum,
7But if the leprosy grow again, after he was seen by the priest and restored to cleanness, he shall be brought to him,
8et immunditiæ condemnabitur.
8And shall be condemned of uncleanness.
9Plaga lepræ si fuerit in homine, adducetur ad sacerdotem,
9If the stroke of the leprosy be in a man, he shall be brought to the priest,
10et videbit eum. Cumque color albus in cute fuerit, et capillorum mutaverit aspectum, ipsa quoque caro viva apparuerit:
10And he shall view him. And when there shall be a white colour in the skin, and it shall have changed the look of the hair, and the living flesh itself shall appear:
11lepra vetustissima judicabitur, atque inolita cuti. Contaminabit itaque eum sacerdos, et non recludet, quia perspicuæ immunditiæ est.
11It shall be judged an inveterate leprosy, and grown into the skin. The priest therefore shall declare him unclean, and shall not shut him up, because he is evidently unclean.
12Sin autem effloruerit discurrens lepra in cute, et operuerit omnem cutem a capite usque ad pedes, quidquid sub aspectum oculorum cadit,
12But if the leprosy spring out running about in the skin, and cover all the skin from the head to the feet, whatsoever falleth under the sight of the eyes,
13considerabit eum sacerdos, et teneri lepra mundissima judicabit: eo quod omnis in candorem versa sit, et idcirco homo mundus erit.
13The priest shall view him, and shall judge that the leprosy which he has is very clean: because it is all turned into whiteness, and therefore the man shall be clean.
14Quando vero caro vivens in eo apparuerit,
14But when the live flesh shall appear in him,
15tunc sacerdotis judicio polluetur, et inter immundos reputabitur: caro enim viva, si lepra aspergitur, immunda est.
15Then by the judgment of the priest he shall be defiled, and shall be reckoned among the unclean: for live flesh, if it be spotted with leprosy, is unclean.
16Quod si rursum versa fuerit in alborem, et totum hominem operuerit,
16And if again it be turned into whiteness, and cover all the man,
17considerabit eum sacerdos, et mundum esse decernet.
17The priest shall view him, and shall judge him to be clean.
18Caro autem et cutis in qua ulcus natum est, et sanatum,
18When also there has been an ulcer in the flesh and the skin, and it has been healed,
19et in loco ulceris cicatrix alba apparuerit, sive subrufa, adducetur homo ad sacerdotem.
19And in the place of the ulcer, there appeareth a white scar, or somewhat red, the man shall be brought to the priest:
20Qui cum viderit locum lepræ humiliorem carne reliqua, et pilos versos in candorem, contaminabit eum: plaga enim lepræ orta est in ulcere.
20And when he shall see the place of the leprosy lower than the other flesh, and the hair turned white, he shall declare him unclean, for the plague of leprosy is broken out in the ulcer.
21Quod si pilus coloris est pristini, et cicatrix subobscura, et vicina carne non est humilior, recludet eum septem diebus:
21But if the hair be of the former colour, and the scar somewhat obscure, and be not lower than the flesh that is near it, he shall shut him up seven days.
22et si quidem creverit, adjudicabit eum lepræ;
22And if it spread, he shall judge him to have the leprosy:
23sin autem steterit in loco suo, ulceris est cicatrix, et homo mundus erit.
23But if it stay in its place, it is but the scar of an ulcer, and the man shall be clean.
24Caro autem et cutis, quam ignis exusserit, et sanata albam sive rufam habuerit cicatricem,
24The flesh also and skin that hath been burnt, and after it is healed hath a white or a red scar,
25considerabit eam sacerdos: et ecce versa est in alborem, et locus ejus reliqua cute est humilior, contaminabit eum, quia plaga lepræ in cicatrice orta est.
25The priest shall view it, and if he see it turned white, and the place thereof is lower than the other skin: he shall declare him unclean, because the evil of leprosy is broken out in the scar.
26Quod si pilorum color non fuerit immutatus, nec humilior plaga carne reliqua, et ipsa lepræ species fuerit subobscura, recludet eum septem diebus,
26But if the colour of the hair be not changed, nor the blemish lower than the other flesh, and the appearance of the leprosy be somewhat obscure, he shall shut him up seven days,
27et die septimo contemplabitur: si creverit in cute lepra, contaminabit eum.
27And on the seventh day he shall view him: if the leprosy be grown farther in the skin, he shall declare him unclean.
28Sin autem in loco suo candor steterit non satis clarus, plaga combustionis est, et idcirco mundabitur, quia cicatrix est combusturæ.
28But if the whiteness stay in its place, and be not very clear, it is the sore of a burning, and therefore he shall be cleansed, because it is only the scar of a burning.
29Vir, sive mulier, in cujus capite vel barba germinaverit lepra, videbit eos sacerdos.
29If the leprosy break out in the head or the beard of a man or woman, the Priest shall see them,
30Et si quidem humilior fuerit locus carne reliqua, et capillus flavus, solitoque subtilior, contaminabit eos, quia lepra capitis ac barbæ est.
30And if the place be lower than the other flesh, and the hair yellow, and thinner than usual: he shall declare them unclean, because it is the leprosy of the head and the beard;
31Sin autem viderit locum maculæ æqualem vicinæ carni, et capillum nigrum: recludet eum septem diebus,
31But if he perceive the place of the spot is equal with the flesh that is near it, and the hair black: he shall shut him up seven days,
32et die septimo intuebitur. Si non creverit macula, et capillus sui coloris est, et locus plagæ carni reliquæ æqualis:
32And on the seventh day he shall look upon it. If the spot be not grown, and the hair keep its colour, and the place of the blemish be even with the other flesh:
33radetur homo absque loco maculæ, et includetur septem diebus aliis.
33The man shall be shaven all but the place of the spot, and he shall be shut up other seven days:
34Si die septimo visa fuerit stetisse plaga in loco suo, nec humilior carne reliqua, mundabit eum: lotisque vestibus suis, mundus erit.
34If on the seventh day the evil seem to have stayed in its place, and not lower than the other flesh, he shall cleanse him, and his clothes being washed he shall be clean.
35Sin autem post emundationem rursus creverit macula in cute,
35But if after his cleansing the spot spread again in the skin,
36non quæret amplius utrum capillus in flavum colorem sit immutatus, quia aperte immundus est.
36He shall seek no more whether the hair be turned yellow, because he is evidently unclean.
37Porro si steterit macula, et capilli nigri fuerint, noverit hominem sanatum esse, et confidenter eum pronuntiet mundum.
37But if the spot be stayed, and the hair be black, let him know that the man is healed, and let him confidently pronounce him clean.
38Vir, sive mulier, in cujus cute candor apparuerit,
38If a whiteness appear in the skin of a man or a woman,
39intuebitur eos sacerdos. Si deprehenderit subobscurum alborem lucere in cute, sciat non esse lepram, sed maculam coloris candidi, et hominem mundum.
39The priest shall view them. If he find that a darkish whiteness shineth in the skin, let him know that it is not the leprosy, but a white blemish, and that the man is clean.
40Vir, de cujus capite capilli fluunt, calvus et mundus est:
40The man whose hair falleth off from his head, he is bald and clean:
41et si a fronte ceciderint pili, recalvaster et mundus est.
41And if the hair fall from his forehead, he is bald before and clean.
42Sin autem in calvitio sive in recalvatione albus vel rufus color fuerit exortus,
42But if in the bald head or in the bald forehead there be risen a white or reddish colour,
43et hoc sacerdos viderit, condemnabit eum haud dubiæ lepræ, quæ orta est in calvitio.
43And the priest perceive this, he shall condemn him undoubtedly of leprosy which is risen in the bald part.
44Quicumque ergo maculatus fuerit lepra, et separatus est ad arbitrium sacerdotis,
44Now whosoever shall be defiled with the leprosy, and is separated by the judgment of the priest,
45habebit vestimenta dissuta, caput nudum, os veste contectum, contaminatum ac sordidum se clamabit.
45Shall have his clothes hanging loose, his head bare, his mouth covered with a cloth, and he shall cry out that he is defiled and unclean.
46Omni tempore quo leprosus est et immundus, solus habitabit extra castra.
46All the time that he is a leper and unclean, he shall dwell alone without the camp.
47Vestis lanea sive linea, quæ lepram habuerit,
47A woollen or linen garment that shall have the leprosy
48in stamine atque subtegmine, aut certe pellis, vel quidquid ex pelle confectum est,
48In the warp, and the woof, or a skin. or whatsoever is made of a skin,
49si alba vel rufa macula fuerit infecta, lepra reputabitur, ostendeturque sacerdoti:
49If it be infected with a white or red spot, it shall be accounted the leprosy, and shall be shewn to the priest.
50qui consideratam recludet septem diebus:
50And he shall look upon it and shall shut it up seven days:
51et die septimo rursus aspiciens, si deprehenderit crevisse, lepra perseverans est: pollutum judicabit vestimentum, et omne in quo fuerit inventa:
51And on the seventh day when he looketh on it again, if he find that it if grown, it is a Axed leprosy: he shall judge the garment unclean, and every thing wherein it shall be found:
52et idcirco comburetur flammis.
52And therefore it shall be burnt with fire.
53Quod si eam viderit non crevisse,
53But if he see that it is not grown,
54præcipiet, et lavabunt id in quo lepra est, recludetque illud septem diebus aliis.
54He shall give orders, and they shall wash that part wherein the leprosy is, and he shall shut it up other seven days.
55Et cum viderit faciem quidem pristinam non reversam, nec tamen crevisse lepram, immundum judicabit, et igne comburet, eo quod infusa sit in superficie vestimenti, vel per totum, lepra.
55And when he shall see that the former colour is not returned, nor yet the leprosy spread, he shall judge it unclean, and shall burn it with fire, for the leprosy has taken hold of the outside of the garment, or through the whole.
56Sin autem obscurior fuerit locus lepræ, postquam vestis est lota, abrumpet eum, et a solido dividet.
56But if the place of the leprosy be somewhat dark, after the garment is washed, he shall tear it off, and divide it from that which is sound.
57Quod si ultra apparuerit in his locis, quæ prius immaculata erant, lepra volatilis et vaga, debet igne comburi.
57And if after this there appear in those places that before were without spot, a flying and wandering leprosy: it must be burnt with fire.
58Si cessaverit, lavabit aqua ea, quæ pura sunt, secundo, et munda erunt.
58If it cease, he shall wash with water the parts that are pure, the second time, and they shall be clean.
59Ista est lex lepræ vestimenti lanei et linei, staminis, atque subtegminis, omnisque supellectilis pelliceæ, quomodo mundari debeat, vel contaminari.
59This is the law touching the leprosy of any woollen or linen garment, either in the warp or woof, or any thing of skins, how it ought to be cleansed, or pronounced unclean.
