¹Zvino Jehovha wakataura naMozisi naAroni akati,

¹And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, and unto Aaron, saying,

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;

²`When a man hath in the skin of his flesh a rising, or scab, or bright spot, and it hath become in the skin of his flesh a leprous plague, then he hath been brought in unto Aaron the priest, or unto one of his sons the priests;

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.

³and the priest hath seen the plague in the skin of the flesh, and the hair in the plague hath turned white, and the appearance of the plague [is] deeper than the skin of his flesh — it [is] a plague of leprosy, and the priest hath seen him, and hath pronounced him unclean.

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;

⁴`And if the bright spot is white in the skin of his flesh, and its appearance is not deeper than the skin, and its hair hath not turned white, then hath the priest shut up [him who hath] the plague seven days.

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

⁵`And the priest hath seen him on the seventh day, and lo, the plague hath stood in his eyes, the plague hath not spread in the skin, and the priest hath shut him up a second seven days.

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.

⁶`And the priest hath seen him on the second seventh day, and lo, the plague is become weak, and the plague hath not spread in the skin — and the priest hath pronounced him clean, it [is] a scab, and he hath washed his garments, and hath been clean.

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

⁷`And if the scab spread greatly in the skin, after his being seen by the priest for his cleansing, then he hath been seen a second time by the priest;

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

⁸and the priest hath seen, and lo, the scab hath spread in the skin, and the priest hath pronounced him unclean; it [is] leprosy.

⁹Kana hosha yamaperembudzi iri pamunhu, anofanira kuiswa kumupristi;

⁹`When a plague of leprosy is in a man, then he hath been brought in unto the priest,

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

¹⁰and the priest hath seen, and lo, a white rising in the skin, and it hath turned the hair white, and a quickening of raw flesh [is] in the rising, —

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

¹¹an old leprosy it [is] in the skin of his flesh, and the priest hath pronounced him unclean; he doth not shut him up, for he [is] unclean.

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

¹²`And if the leprosy break out greatly in the skin, and the leprosy hath covered all the skin of [him who hath] the plague, from his head even unto his feet, to all that appeareth to the eyes of the priest,

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

¹³then hath the priest seen, and lo, the leprosy hath covered all his flesh, and he hath pronounced [him who hath] the plague clean; it hath all turned white; he [is] clean.

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

¹⁴`And in the day of raw flesh being seen in him he is unclean;

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

¹⁵and the priest hath seen the raw flesh, and hath pronounced him unclean; the raw flesh is unclean, it [is] leprosy.

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

¹⁶Or when the raw flesh turneth back, and hath been turned to white, then he hath come in unto the priest,

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

¹⁷and the priest hath seen him, and lo, the plague hath been turned to white, and the priest hath pronounced clean [him who hath] the plague; he [is] clean.

¹⁸Zvino kana nyama ine mota paganda, pakapora,

¹⁸`And when flesh hath in it, in its skin, an ulcer, and it hath been healed,

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

¹⁹and there hath been in the place of the ulcer a white rising, or a bright white spot, very red, then it hath been seen by the priest,

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.

²⁰and the priest hath seen, and lo, its appearance [is] lower than the skin, and its hair hath turned white, and the priest hath pronounced him unclean; it [is] a plague of leprosy — in an ulcer it hath broken out.

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

²¹`And if the priest see it, and lo, there is no white hair in it, and it is not lower than the skin, and is become weak, then hath the priest shut him up seven days;

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

²²and if it spread greatly in the skin, then hath the priest pronounced him unclean, it [is] a plague;

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

²³and if in its place the bright spot stay — it hath not spread — it [is] an inflammation of the ulcer; and the priest hath pronounced him clean.

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

²⁴`Or when flesh hath in its skin a fiery burning, and the quickening of the burning, the bright white spot, hath been very red or white,

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.

²⁵and the priest hath seen it, and lo, the hair hath turned white in the bright spot, and its appearance [is] deeper than the skin; leprosy it [is], in the burning it hath broken out, and the priest hath pronounced him unclean; it [is] a plague of leprosy.

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.

²⁶`And if the priest see it, and lo, there is no white hair on the bright spot, and it is not lower than the skin, and it is become weak, then the priest hath shut him up seven days;

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

²⁷and the priest hath seen him on the seventh day, if it spread greatly in the skin, then the priest hath pronounced him unclean; a plague of leprosy it [is].

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

²⁸`And if the bright spot stay in its place, it hath not spread in the skin, and is become weak; a rising of the burning it [is], and the priest hath pronounced him clean; for it [is] inflammation of the burning.

²⁹Kana murume kana mukadzi ane hosha pamusoro kana pandebvu,

²⁹`And when a man (or a woman) hath in him a plague in the head or in 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.

³⁰then hath the priest seen the plague, and lo, its appearance is deeper than the skin, and in it a thin shining hair, and the priest hath pronounced him unclean; it [is] a scall — it [is] a leprosy of the head or of the beard.

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.

³¹`And when the priest seeth the plague of the scall, and lo, its appearance is not deeper than the skin, and there is no black hair in it, then hath the priest shut up [him who hath] the plague of the scall seven days.

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

³²`And the priest hath seen the plague on the seventh day, and lo, the scall hath not spread, and a shining hair hath not been in it, and the appearance of the scall is not deeper than the skin,

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

³³then he hath shaved himself, but the scall he doth not shave; and the priest hath shut up [him who hath] the scall a second seven days.

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.

³⁴And the priest hath seen the scall on the seventh day, and lo, the scall hath not spread in the skin, and its appearance is not deeper than the skin, and the priest hath pronounced him clean, and he hath washed his garments, and hath been clean.

³⁵Asi kana pakafunuka pakanyenga pose paganda shure kokunatswa kwake;

³⁵`And if the scall spread greatly in the skin after his cleansing,

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

³⁶and the priest hath seen him, and lo, the scall hath spread in the skin, the priest seeketh not for the shining hair, he is unclean;

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

³⁷and if in his eyes the scall hath stayed, and black hair hath sprung up in it, the scall hath been healed — he [is] clean — and the priest hath pronounced him clean.

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

³⁸`And when a man or woman hath in the skin of their flesh bright spots, white bright spots,

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

³⁹and the priest hath seen, and lo, in the skin of their flesh white weak bright spots, it [is] a freckled spot broken out in the skin; he [is] clean.

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

⁴⁰`And when a man`s head [is] polished, he [is] bald, he [is] clean;

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

⁴¹and if from the corner of his face his head is polished, he [is] bald of the forehead; he [is] clean.

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

⁴²`And when there is in the bald back of the head, or in the bald forehead, a very red white plague, it [is] a leprosy breaking out in the bald back of the head, or in the bald forehead;

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

⁴³and the priest hath seen him, and lo, the rising of the very red white plague in the bald back of the head, or in the bald forehead, [is] as the appearance of leprosy, in the skin of the flesh,

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

⁴⁴he [is] a leprous man, he [is] unclean; the priest doth pronounce him utterly unclean; his plague [is] in his head.

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!

⁴⁵`As to the leper in whom [is] the plague, his garments are rent, and his head is uncovered, and he covereth over the upper lip, and `Unclean! unclean!` he calleth;

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

⁴⁶all the days that the plague [is] in him he is unclean; he [is] unclean, alone he doth dwell, at the outside of the camp [is] his dwelling.

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

⁴⁷`And when there is in any garment a plague of leprosy, — in a garment of wool, or in a garment of linen,

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

⁴⁸or in the warp, or in the woof, of linen or of wool, or in a skin, or in any work of skin,

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;

⁴⁹and the plague hath been very green or very red in the garment, or in the skin, or in the warp, or in the woof, or in any vessel of skin, it [is] a plague of leprosy, and it hath been shewn the priest.

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

⁵⁰`And the priest hath seen the plague, and hath shut up [that which hath] the plague, seven days;

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.

⁵¹and he hath seen the plague on the seventh day, and the plague hath spread in the garment, or in the warp, or in the woof, or in the skin, of all that is made of skin for work; the plague [is] a fretting leprosy, it [is] unclean.

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.

⁵²`And he hath burnt the garment, or the warp, or the woof, in wool or in linen, or any vessel of skin in which the plague is; for it [is] a fretting leprosy; with fire it is burnt.

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

⁵³`And if the priest see, and lo, the plague hath not spread in the garment, or in the warp, or in the woof, or in any vessel of skin,

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

⁵⁴then hath the priest commanded, and they have washed that in which the plague [is], and he hath shut it up a second seven days.

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.

⁵⁵And the priest hath seen [that which hath] the plague after it hath been washed, and lo, the plague hath not changed its aspect, and the plague hath not spread, — it [is] unclean; with fire thou dost burn it; it [is] a fretting in its back-part or in its front-part.

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

⁵⁶`And if the priest hath seen, and lo, the plague [is] become weak after it hath been washed, then he hath rent it out of the garment, or out of the skin, or out of the warp, or out of the woof;

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

⁵⁷and if it still be seen in the garment, or in the warp, or in the woof, or in any vessel of skin, it [is] a fretting; with fire thou dost burn it — that in which the plague [is].

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

⁵⁸`And the garment, or the warp, or the woof, or any vessel of skin which thou dost wash when the plague hath turned aside from them, then it hath been washed a second time, and hath been clean.

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

⁵⁹`This [is] the law of a plague of leprosy [in] a garment of wool or of linen, or of the warp or of the woof, or of any vessel of skin, to pronounce it clean or to pronounce it unclean.`
