¹And Jehovah spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,

¹Zvino Jehovha wakataura naMozisi naAroni akati,

²When a man shall have in the skin of his flesh a rising or a scab, or bright spot, and it become in the skin of his flesh a sore [as] of leprosy, then he shall be brought unto Aaron the priest, or unto one of his sons the priests.

²Kana munhu anapakazvimba kana panofunuka, kana chivara paganda romuviri wake, pakaita sehosha yamaperembudzi paganda romuviri wake, anofanira kuiswa kuna Aroni mupristi, kana kuno mumwe wavanakomana vake vapristi;

³And when the priest looketh on the sore in the skin of the flesh, and the hair in the sore is turned white, and the sore looketh deeper than the skin of his flesh, it is the sore of leprosy; and the priest shall look on him and pronounce him unclean.

³mupristi zvino anofanira kucherekedza hosha iri paganda romuviri wake; kana mvere dziri pane hosha dzakashanduka dzikava chena, hosha ikaonekwa kuti yakapinda kwazvo mukati meganda romuviri wake, ihosha yamaperembudzi; mupristi ngaamucherekedze, agoreva kuti haana kunaka.

⁴But if the bright spot be white in the skin of his flesh, and look not deeper than the skin, and the hair thereof be not turned white, the priest shall shut up [him that hath] the sore seven days.

⁴Kana chivara chiri chichena paganda romuviri wake, chakaonekwa kuti hachina kupinda mukati meganda kwazvo, mvere dzisina kushanduka, dzikava chena, mupristi anofanira kupfigira munhu uyo une hosha mazuva manomwe;

⁵And the priest shall look on him the seventh day; and behold, in his sight, the sore remaineth as it was, the sore hath not spread in the skin, then the priest shall shut him up seven days a second time.

⁵nomusi wechinomwe mupristi anofanira kumucherekedza; kana akaona kuti hosha yakaita seyamira, kuti hosha haina kunyenga paganda, zvino mupristi anofanira kumupfigira mamwe mazuva manomwezve;

⁶And the priest shall look on him again the seventh day, and behold, the sore is become pale and the sore hath not spread in the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him clean; it is a scab; and he shall wash his garments and be clean.

⁶zvino mupristi anofanira kumucherekedza nezuva rechinomwe; kana akaona kuti hosha yaita nani, kuti hosha haina kunyenga paganda, zvino mupristi uchareva kuti munhu wakanaka hake; pakanga pakafunuka hapo; ipapo anofanira kusuka nguvo dzake agova wakanaka.

⁷But if the scab have spread much in the skin, after that he hath been seen by the priest for his cleansing, he shall be seen by the priest again;

⁷Asi kana pakafunuka pachiramba pachinyenga paganda, ambozviratidza kumupristi kuti anzi wakanaka, ipapo anofanira kuzviratidzazve kumupristi;

⁸and the priest shall look on him, and behold, the scab hath spread in the skin; then the priest shall pronounce him unclean: it is leprosy.

⁸zvino mupristi anofanira kucherekedza; kana akaona kuti pakafunuka panyenga paganda, ipapo mupristi anofanira kureva kuti haana kunaka, maperembudzi.

⁹When a sore [as] of leprosy is in a man, he shall be brought unto the priest;

⁹Kana hosha yamaperembudzi iri pamunhu, anofanira kuiswa kumupristi;

¹⁰and the priest shall look on him, and behold, there is a white rising in the skin, and it hath turned the hair white, and a trace of raw flesh is in the rising:

¹⁰zvino mupristi anofanira kucherekedza; kana akaona kuti pakazvimba pachena paganda, mvere dzikashanduka, dzikaita chena, pakazvimba pakava nenyama yakatsvuka,

¹¹it is an old leprosy in the skin of his flesh; and the priest shall pronounce him unclean, and he shall not shut him up, for he is unclean.

¹¹ndiwo maperembudzi anguva avapo paganda romuviri wake, zvino mupristi ngaarege kumupfigira, nekuti haana kunaka, ngaareve kuti haana kunaka.

¹²But if the leprosy break out much in the skin, and the leprosy cover all the skin of [him that hath] the sore, from his head even to his foot, wherever the eyes of the priest look,

¹²Kana maperembudzi akabuda pose-pose paganda, maperembudzi akafukidza ganda rose romunhu une hosha, kubva pamusoro wake kusvikira kutsoka dzake, pose panoonekwa nomupristi;

¹³and the priest looketh, and behold, the leprosy covereth all his flesh, he shall pronounce [him] clean [that hath] the sore; it is all turned white; he is clean.

¹³zvino mupristi anofanira kutarira; kana akaona kuti maperembudzi akazadza muviri wake wose, anofanira kureva kuti munhu une hosha wakanaka, zvose zvashanduka zvachena, wakanaka hake.

¹⁴And on the day when raw flesh appeareth in him, he shall be unclean.

¹⁴Asi kana nyama tsvuku ikaonekwa kwaari, uchava usina kunaka.

¹⁵And the priest shall look on the raw flesh, and shall pronounce him unclean: the raw flesh is unclean, it is leprosy.

¹⁵Kana mupristi akaona nyama yakatsvuka, anofanira kureva kuti haana kunaka; nyama yakatsvuka haina kunaka, maperembudzi.

¹⁶But if the raw flesh change again, and be turned white, he shall come unto the priest;

¹⁶Kana nyama yakatsvuka ikashandukazve, ikaita chena, anofanira kuuya kumupristi.

¹⁷and the priest shall look on him, and behold, the sore is turned white; then the priest shall pronounce [him] clean [that hath] the sore: he is clean.

¹⁷Ipapo mupristi anofanira kumucherekedza; kana akaona kuti hosha yashanduka, ikaita chena, mupristi anofanira kureva kuti une hosha yakanaka, wakanaka hake.

¹⁸And the flesh -- when in the skin thereof cometh a boil, and it is healed,

¹⁸Zvino kana nyama ine mota paganda, pakapora,

¹⁹and there is in the place of the boil a white rising, or a white-reddish bright spot, it shall be shewn to the priest;

¹⁹panzvimbo yemota pakauya pakazvimba pakachena, kana chivara chakaita sechitsvuku, zvinofanira kuratidzwa mupristi;

²⁰and the priest shall look on it, and behold, it looketh deeper than the skin, and the hair thereof is turned white; then the priest shall pronounce him unclean: it is the sore of leprosy broken out in the boil.

²⁰zvino mupristi anofanira kucherekedza; kana akaona kuti pakadzika pasi peganda, mvere dzapo dzikashanduka dzikaita chena, mupristi anofanira kureva kuti haana kunaka; ihosha yamaperembudzi yabuda napamota.

²¹But if the priest look on it, and behold, there are no white hairs therein, and it is not deeper than the skin, and is pale, the priest shall shut him up seven days;

²¹Asi kana mupristi akapacherekedza, akaona kuti hakuna mvere chena ipapo, pasina kudzika pasi peganda, asi pava nani; mupristi anofanira kumupfigira mazuva manomwe.

²²and if it spread much in the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean: it is the sore.

²²Kana pakanyenga pose paganda, mupristi anofanira kureva kuti haana kunaka; ihosha.

²³But if the bright spot have remained in its place, [and] have not spread, it is the scar of the boil; and the priest shall pronounce him clean.

²³Asi kana chivara chikarambira panzvimbo yacho, chikasanyenga, ivanga haro remota; mupristi anofanira kuti wakanaka.

²⁴Or if in the flesh, in the skin thereof, there is a burning inflammation, and the place of the inflammation become a bright spot white-reddish or white,

²⁴Kana nyama yomunhu ina pakatsva paganda rake, nyama yakatsvuka yapo ikaita chivara chichena chakaita sechitsvuku kana chichena,

²⁵and the priest look on it, and behold, the hair is turned white in the bright spot, and it looketh deeper than the skin, it is a leprosy which is broken out in the inflammation; and the priest shall pronounce him unclean: it is the sore of leprosy.

²⁵mupristi anofanira kupacherekedza; kana akaona kuti mvere dzapachivara dzashanduka, dzikaita chena, akaona kuti pakaita sapakadzika paganda, ava maperembudzi akabuda napakatsva; mupristi anofanira kureva kuti haana kunaka; ihosha yamaperembudzi.

²⁶But if the priest look on it, and behold, there is no white hair in the bright spot, and it is no deeper than the skin, and is pale, the priest shall shut him up seven days.

²⁶Asi kana mupristi akapacherekedza, akaona kuti hapana mvere chena pachivara, uye kuti hapana kudzika pasi peganda, asi pava nani hapo, mupristi anofanira kumupfigira mazuva manomwe.

²⁷And the priest shall look on him the seventh day, and if it have spread much in the skin, the priest shall pronounce him unclean: it is the sore of leprosy.

²⁷Zvino mupristi anofanira kumucherekedza nezuva rechinomwe; kana pakaramba pachinyenga paganda, mupristi anofanira kureva kuti haana kunaka; ihosha yamaperembudzi.

²⁸But if the bright spot have remained in its place, [and] not spread in the skin, and is pale, it is the rising of the inflammation; and the priest shall pronounce him clean; for it is the scar of the inflammation.

²⁸Kana chivara chikaramba chiri panzvimbo yacho, chikasanyenga paganda, asi chava nani, ndiko kuzvimba kokutsva hako, mupristi anofanira kureva kuti wakanaka hake, nekuti chivara chokutsva.

²⁹And if a man or a woman have a sore on the head or on the beard,

²⁹Kana murume kana mukadzi ane hosha pamusoro kana pandebvu,

³⁰and the priest look on the sore, and behold, it looketh deeper than the skin, and there is in it yellow thin hair, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean; it is a scall, the leprosy of the head or the beard.

³⁰mupristi anofanira kucherekedza hosha; kana akaona kuti yakapinda mukati, pasi peganda, mvere dziripo dziri tsvuku dzakaita sechena, dziri nhete, mupristi anofanira kureva kuti haana kunaka; pafunuka, ndiwo maperembudzi omusoro kana endebvu.

³¹And if the priest look on the sore of the scall, and behold, it is not in sight deeper than the skin, and there is no black hair in it, the priest shall shut up [him that hath] the sore of the scall seven days.

³¹Kana mupristi akacherekedza hosha yakafunuka, akaona kuti haina kupinda mukati pasi peganda, pasina mvere nhema ipapo, mupristi anofanira kupfigira munhu une hosha yokufunuka mazuva manomwe.

³²And when the priest looketh on the sore on the seventh day, and behold, the scall hath not spread, and there is in it no yellow hair, and the scall doth not look deeper than the skin,

³²Nomusi wechinomwe mupristi anofanira kucherekedza hosha; kana akaona kuti haina kupinda mukati pasi peganda,

³³he [that hath the sore] shall shave himself; but the scall shall he not shave; and the priest shall shut up [him that hath] the scall seven days a second time.

³³anofanira kuveurwa, asi ngaarege kuveura pakafunuka; zvino mupristi anofanira kupfigira munhu unapakafunuka mamwe mazuva manomwezve;

³⁴And the priest shall look on the scall on the seventh day, and behold, the scall hath not spread in the skin, nor is in sight deeper than the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him clean; and he shall wash his garments, and be clean.

³⁴nomusi wechinomwe mupristi anofanira kucherekedza pakafunuka; kana akaona kuti pakafunuka hapana kunyenga paganda, uye kuti hapana kupinda mukati pasi peganda, mupristi anofanira kureva kuti wakanaka hake; zvino iye ngaasuke nguvo dzake, anake.

³⁵But if the scall have spread much in the skin after his cleansing,

³⁵Asi kana pakafunuka pakanyenga pose paganda shure kokunatswa kwake;

³⁶and the priest shall look on him, and behold, the scall hath spread in the skin, the priest shall not seek for yellow hair: he is unclean.

³⁶mupristi anofanira kumucherekedza; kana akaona kuti pakafunuka panyenga paganda, ngaarege hake kutsvaka mvere tsvuku dzakaita sechena; haana kunaka.

³⁷But if the scall have in his sight remained as it was, and there is black hair grown up therein, the scall is healed: he is clean; and the priest shall pronounce him clean.

³⁷Asi kana iye akaona kuti pakafunuka paita sapamira, nemvere nhema dzabudapo, pakafunuka papora hapo, wakanaka; mupristi anofanira kureva kuti wakanaka hake.

³⁸And if a man or a woman have in the skin of their flesh bright spots, white bright spots,

³⁸Kana murume kana mukadzi vane zvivara paganda renyama yavo, zviri zvivara zvichena;

³⁹and the priest look, and behold, there are in the skin of their flesh pale white spots, it is an eruption which is broken out in the skin: he is clean.

³⁹mupristi anofanira kuzvicherekedza; kana akaona kuti zvivara paganda renyama zviri zvichena, zvisingabwinyi, imhezi dzakabuda paganda, vakanaka havo.

⁴⁰And if a man's hair have fallen off his head, he is bald: he is clean;

⁴⁰Kana vhudzi romunhu rakabva pamusoro wake, wava nemhazha; asi wakanaka hake.

⁴¹and if he have the hair fallen off from the part of the head towards his face, he is forehead-bald: he is clean.

⁴¹Kana vhudzi rake rakabva pamusoro wake nechemberi, une mhazha pahuma, asi wakanaka hake.

⁴²And if there be in the bald head, or bald forehead, a white-reddish sore, it is a leprosy which hath broken out in his bald head, or his bald forehead.

⁴²Asi kana pamhazha, kana pamhazha yapahuma, pane hosha chena yakaita setsvuku, maperembudzi anobuda pamhazha, kana pamhazha yapahuma.

⁴³And the priest shall look on it, and behold, the rising of the sore is white-reddish in his bald head, or in his bald forehead, like the appearance of the leprosy in the skin of the flesh;

⁴³Zvino mupristi anofanira kumucherekedza; kana akaona kuti pakazvimba pehosha pachena pakaita sapatsvuku pamhazha yake, kana pamhazha yake yapahuma, pakafanana namaperembudzi paganda renyama,

⁴⁴he is a leprous man, he is unclean; the priest shall pronounce him utterly unclean; his sore is in his head.

⁴⁴munhu uyo una maperembudzi, haana kunaka; mupristi anofanira kureva kwazvo kuti haana kunaka; hosha yake iri pamusoro wake.

⁴⁵And as to the leper in whom the sore is, -- his garments shall be rent, and his head shall be uncovered, and he shall put a covering on his beard, and shall cry, Unclean, unclean!

⁴⁵Zvino munhu una maperembudzi, une hosha iyo, nguvo dzake dzinofanira kubvarurwa, nevhudzi romusoro wake rinofanira kufukurwa, uye anofanira kufukidza muromo wake wokumusoro, agodanidzira, achiti, Ndakaipa, ndakaipa!

⁴⁶All the days that the sore shall be in him he shall be unclean: he is unclean; he shall dwell apart; outside the camp shall his dwelling be.

⁴⁶Mazuva ose aane hosha iyo, uchava usina kunaka; haana kunaka; ngaagare ari oga; pokugara kwake panofanira kuva kunze kwemisasa.

⁴⁷And if a sore of leprosy is in a garment, in a woollen garment, or a linen garment,

⁴⁷nguvowo ine hosha yamaperembudzi, kana iri nguvo yamakushe amakwai, kana iri nguvo yomucheka;

⁴⁸either in the warp or in the woof of linen or of wool, or in a skin, or in anything made of skin,

⁴⁸kana iri yakarukwa, kana yakakoshwa; kana yamucheka, kana yamakushe amakwai; kana yedebwe, kana chinhu chakaitwa nedebwe;

⁴⁹and the sore is greenish or reddish in the garment, or in the skin, or in the warp, or in the woof, or in anything of skin, it is the sore of leprosy, and shall be shewn unto the priest.

⁴⁹kana hosha yakaita senhema, kana tsvuku panguvo, kana padebwe, kana pane zvakarukwa, kana pane zvakakoshwa, kana pachinhu chipi nechipi chedebwe; ihosha yamaperembudzi inofanira kuratidzwa mupristi;

⁵⁰And the priest shall look on the sore, and shall shut up [that which hath] the sore seven days.

⁵⁰zvino mupristi anofanira kucherekedza hosha iyo, agopfigira chinhu chine hosha mazuva manomwe;

⁵¹And he shall see the sore on the seventh day: if the sore have spread in the garment, either in the warp or in the woof, or in a skin, in any work that may be made of skin, the sore is a corroding leprosy: it is unclean.

⁵¹zvino anofanira kucherekedza hosha nezuva rechinomwe; kana hosha yakanyenga panguvo, kana iri yakarukwa, kana yakakoshwa, kana yedebwe, rine basa ripi neripi; hosha iyo ndeyamaperembudzi akaipa kwazvo; haina kunaka.

⁵²And they shall burn the garment, or the warp or the woof, of wool or of linen, or anything of skin, wherein the sore is; for it is a corroding leprosy: it shall be burned with fire.

⁵²Zvino anofanira kupisa nguvo, kana iri yakarukwa, kana yakakoshwa, kana yamakushe amakwai, kana yomucheka, kana ipi neipi yedebwe, ine hosha iyo; nekuti maperembudzi akaipa kwazvo; inofanira kupiswa nomoto.

⁵³But if the priest look, and behold, the sore hath not spread in the garment, or in the warp, or in the woof, or in anything of skin,

⁵³Kana mupristi akatarira, akaona kuti hosha haina kunyenga panguvo, kana pakarukwa, kana pakakoshwa, kana pachinhu chipi nechipi chedebwe;

⁵⁴then the priest shall command that they wash the thing wherein the sore is, and he shall shut it up seven days a second time.

⁵⁴mupristi anofanira kuraira kuti vasuke chinhu chine hosha, zvino achipfigire mamwe mazuva manomwezve;

⁵⁵And the priest shall look on the sore after the washing, and behold, if the sore have not changed its appearance, and the sore have not spread, it is unclean: thou shalt burn it with fire: it is a fretting sore on what is threadbare or where the nap is gone.

⁵⁵mupristi agocherekedzazve kana hosha yasukwa; kana akaona kuti hosha haina kushanduka ruvara rwayo, uye kuti hosha haina kunyenga, hachina kunaka; anofanira kuchipisa nomoto; yapinda mukati kwazvo, kana nechapamusoro kana nechapanyasi.

⁵⁶But if the priest look, and behold, the sore hath become pale after the washing of it, then he shall rend it from the garment, or from the skin, or from the warp, or from the woof.

⁵⁶Kana mupristi akacherekedza, akaona kuti hosha yava nani pakusukwa kwayo, anofanira kubvarura nguvo kupabvisapo, kana padebwe, kana pakarukwa, kana pakakoshwa;

⁵⁷And if it appear still in the garment, or in the warp, or in the woof, or in anything of skin, it is a [leprosy] breaking out: thou shalt burn with fire that wherein the sore is.

⁵⁷asi kana ikaramba ichionekwa panguvo, kana pakarukwa, kana pakakoshwa, kana pachinhu chipi nechipi chedebwe, ihosha inobuda; anofanira kupisa chinhu icho chine hosha nomoto;

⁵⁸But the garment, or the warp, or the woof, or whatever thing of skin which thou hast washed, and the sore departeth from them, it shall be washed a second time, and it is clean.

⁵⁸asi nguvo yaunosuka, kana pakarukwa, kana pakakoshwa, kana chiri chinhu chipi nechipi chedebwe, kana hosha ikabva kwachiri, chinofanira kusukwa rwechipiri, chigova chakanaka.

⁵⁹This is the law of the sore of leprosy in a garment of wool or linen, or in the warp, or in the woof, or in anything of skin, to cleanse it, or to pronounce it unclean.

⁵⁹Ndiwo murayiro wehosha yamaperembudzi panguvo yamakushe amakwai, kana yomucheka, kana chinhu chipi nechipi chedebwe, kuti chigonzi chakanaka, kana hachina kunaka.
