祭司察看皮膚上的災病

¹耶和華曉諭摩西、亞倫說：Then the LORD said to Moses and Aaron,

²「人的肉皮上若長了癤子，或長了癬，或長了火斑，在他肉皮上成了大痲瘋的災病，就要將他帶到祭司亞倫或亞倫作祭司的一個子孫面前。“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祭司要察看肉皮上的災病，若災病處的毛已經變白，災病的現象深於肉上的皮，這便是大痲瘋的災病。祭司要察看他，定他為不潔淨。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若火斑在他肉皮上是白的，現象不深於皮，其上的毛也沒有變白，祭司就要將有災病的人關鎖七天。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第七天，祭司要察看他，若看災病止住了，沒有在皮上發散，祭司還要將他關鎖七天。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第七天，祭司要再察看他，若災病發暗，而且沒有在皮上發散，祭司要定他為潔淨，原來是癬；那人就要洗衣服，得為潔淨。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但他為得潔淨，將身體給祭司察看以後，癬若在皮上發散開了，他要再將身體給祭司察看。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祭司要察看，癬若在皮上發散，就要定他為不潔淨，是大痲瘋。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.

白癤、紅肉與舊大痲瘋

⁹「人有了大痲瘋的災病，就要將他帶到祭司面前。When anyone develops a skin disease, he must be brought to the priest.

¹⁰祭司要察看，皮上若長了白癤，使毛變白，在長白癤之處有了紅瘀肉，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這是肉皮上的舊大痲瘋，祭司要定他為不潔淨，不用將他關鎖，因為他是不潔淨了。it is a chronic skin disease and the priest must pronounce him unclean. He need not isolate him, for he is unclean.

¹²大痲瘋若在皮上四外發散，長滿了患災病人的皮，據祭司察看，從頭到腳無處不有，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祭司就要察看，全身的肉若長滿了大痲瘋，就要定那患災病的為潔淨；全身都變為白，他乃潔淨了。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但紅肉幾時顯在他的身上就幾時不潔淨。But whenever raw flesh appears on someone, he will be unclean.

¹⁵祭司一看那紅肉就定他為不潔淨。紅肉本是不潔淨，是大痲瘋。When the priest sees the raw flesh, he must pronounce him unclean. The raw flesh is unclean; it is a skin disease.

¹⁶紅肉若復原，又變白了，他就要來見祭司。But if the raw flesh changes and turns white, he must go to the priest.

¹⁷祭司要察看，災病處若變白了，祭司就要定那患災病的為潔淨，他乃潔淨了。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.

瘡處的災病

¹⁸「人若在皮肉上長瘡，卻治好了，When a boil appears on someone’s skin and it heals,

¹⁹在長瘡之處又起了白癤，或是白中帶紅的火斑，就要給祭司察看。and a white swelling or a reddish-white spot develops where the boil was, he must present himself to the priest.

²⁰祭司要察看，若現象窪於皮，其上的毛也變白了，就要定他為不潔淨，是大痲瘋的災病發在瘡中。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祭司若察看，其上沒有白毛，也沒有窪於皮，乃是發暗，就要將他關鎖七天。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若在皮上發散開了，祭司就要定他為不潔淨，是災病。If it spreads any further on the skin, the priest must pronounce him unclean; it is an infection.

²³火斑若在原處止住，沒有發散，便是瘡的痕跡，祭司就要定他為潔淨。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.

火毒處的災病

²⁴「人的皮肉上若起了火毒，火毒的瘀肉成了火斑，或是白中帶紅的，或是全白的，When there is a burn on someone’s skin and the raw area of the burn becomes reddish-white or white,

²⁵祭司就要察看，火斑中的毛若變白了，現象又深於皮，是大痲瘋在火毒中發出，就要定他為不潔淨，是大痲瘋的災病。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但是祭司察看，在火斑中若沒有白毛，也沒有窪於皮，乃是發暗，就要將他關鎖七天。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到第七天，祭司要察看他，火斑若在皮上發散開了，就要定他為不潔淨，是大痲瘋的災病。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火斑若在原處止住，沒有在皮上發散，乃是發暗，是起的火毒，祭司要定他為潔淨，不過是火毒的痕跡。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.

頭上或鬍鬚上的頭疥

²⁹「無論男女，若在頭上有災病，或是男人鬍鬚上有災病，If a man or woman has an infection on the head or chin,

³⁰祭司就要察看；這災病現象若深於皮，其間有細黃毛，就要定他為不潔淨，這是頭疥，是頭上或是鬍鬚上的大痲瘋。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祭司若察看頭疥的災病，現象不深於皮，其間也沒有黑毛，就要將長頭疥災病的關鎖七天。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第七天，祭司要察看災病，若頭疥沒有發散，其間也沒有黃毛，頭疥的現象不深於皮，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那人就要剃去鬚髮，但他不可剃頭疥之處。祭司要將那長頭疥的，再關鎖七天。then the person must shave himself except for the scaly area. Then the priest shall isolate him for another seven days.

³⁴第七天，祭司要察看頭疥，頭疥若沒有在皮上發散，現象也不深於皮，就要定他為潔淨，他要洗衣服，便成為潔淨。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但他得潔淨以後，頭疥若在皮上發散開了，If, however, the scaly outbreak spreads further on the skin after his cleansing,

³⁶祭司就要察看他。頭疥若在皮上發散，就不必找那黃毛，他是不潔淨了。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祭司若看頭疥已經止住，其間也長了黑毛，頭疥已然痊癒，那人是潔淨了，就要定他為潔淨。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.

白癬是潔淨的

³⁸「無論男女，皮肉上若起了火斑，就是白火斑，When a man or a woman has white spots on the skin,

³⁹祭司就要察看，他們肉皮上的火斑若白中帶黑，這是皮上發出的白癬，那人是潔淨了。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.

頭禿不算不潔淨

⁴⁰「人頭上的髮若掉了，他不過是頭禿，還是潔淨。Now if a man loses his hair and is bald, he is still clean.

⁴¹他頂前若掉了頭髮，他不過是頂門禿，還是潔淨。Or if his hairline recedes and he is bald on his forehead, he is still clean.

⁴²頭禿處或是頂門禿處若有白中帶紅的災病，這就是大痲瘋發在他頭禿處或是頂門禿處，But if there is a reddish-white sore on the bald head or forehead, it is an infectious disease breaking out on it.

⁴³祭司就要察看，他起的那災病若在頭禿處或是頂門禿處有白中帶紅的，像肉皮上大痲瘋的現象，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那人就是長大痲瘋，不潔淨的，祭司總要定他為不潔淨，他的災病是在頭上。the man is diseased; he is unclean. The priest must pronounce him unclean because of the infection on his head.

患者要獨居營外

⁴⁵「身上有長大痲瘋災病的，他的衣服要撕裂，也要蓬頭散髮，蒙著上唇，喊叫說：『不潔淨了！不潔淨了！』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災病在他身上的日子，他便是不潔淨；他既是不潔淨，就要獨居營外。」As long as he has the infection, he remains unclean. He must live alone in a place outside the camp.

衣服和皮子上的災病

⁴⁷「染了大痲瘋災病的衣服，無論是羊毛衣服、是麻布衣服，If any fabric is contaminated with mildew—any wool or linen garment,

⁴⁸無論是在經上、在緯上，是麻布的、是羊毛的，是在皮子上，或在皮子做的甚麼物件上，any weave or knit of linen or wool, or any article of leather—

⁴⁹或在衣服上、皮子上，經上、緯上，或在皮子做的甚麼物件上，這災病若是發綠，或是發紅，是大痲瘋的災病，要給祭司察看。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祭司就要察看那災病，把染了災病的物件關鎖七天。And the priest is to examine the mildew and isolate the contaminated fabric for seven days.

⁵¹第七天，他要察看那災病，災病或在衣服上，經上、緯上，皮子上，若發散，這皮子無論當作何用，這災病是蠶食的大痲瘋，都是不潔淨了。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那染了災病的衣服，或是經上、緯上，羊毛上，麻衣上，或是皮子做的甚麼物件上，他都要焚燒；因為這是蠶食的大痲瘋，必在火中焚燒。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「祭司要察看，若災病在衣服上，經上、緯上，或是皮子做的甚麼物件上，沒有發散，But when the priest reexamines it, if the mildew has not spread in the fabric, weave, knit, or leather article,

⁵⁴祭司就要吩咐他們，把染了災病的物件洗了，再關鎖七天。the priest is to order the contaminated article to be washed and isolated for another seven days.

⁵⁵洗過以後，祭司要察看，那物件若沒有變色，災病也沒有消散，那物件就不潔淨，是透重的災病，無論正面反面，都要在火中焚燒。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洗過以後，祭司要察看，若見那災病發暗，他就要把那災病從衣服上、皮子上、經上、緯上，都撕去。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若仍現在衣服上，或是經上、緯上、皮子做的甚麼物件上，這就是災病又發了、必用火焚燒那染災病的物件。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所洗的衣服，或是經，或是緯，或是皮子做的甚麼物件，若災病離開了，要再洗，就潔淨了。」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這就是大痲瘋災病的條例，無論是在羊毛衣服上，麻布衣服上，經上、緯上，和皮子做的甚麼物件上，可以定為潔淨或是不潔淨。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.”
