¹Zvino Jehovha wakataura naMozisi naAroni akati,

¹Yahweh spoke to Moses and to 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 shall have a rising in his body’s skin, or a scab, or a bright spot, and it becomes in the skin of his body the plague of leprosy, then he shall be brought to Aaron the priest, or to 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 shall examine the plague in the skin of the body: and if the hair in the plague has turned white, and the appearance of the plague is deeper than the body’s skin, it is the plague of leprosy; and the priest shall examine him, and pronounce 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;

⁴If the bright spot is white in the skin of his body, and its appearance isn’t deeper than the skin, and its hair hasn’t turned white, then the priest shall isolate the infected person for 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;

⁵The priest shall examine him on the seventh day, and, behold, if in his eyes the plague is arrested, and the plague hasn’t spread in the skin, then the priest shall isolate him for seven more 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.

⁶The priest shall examine him again on the seventh day; and behold, if the plague has faded, and the plague hasn’t spread in the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him clean. It is a scab. He shall wash his clothes, and be clean.

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

⁷But if the scab spreads on the skin, after he has shown himself to the priest for his cleansing, he shall show himself to the priest again.

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

⁸The priest shall examine him; and behold, if the scab has spread on the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean. It is leprosy.

⁹Kana hosha yamaperembudzi iri pamunhu, anofanira kuiswa kumupristi;

⁹“When the plague of leprosy is in a man, then he shall be brought to the priest;

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

¹⁰and the priest shall examine him. Behold, if there is a white rising in the skin, and it has turned the hair white, and there is raw flesh in the rising,

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

¹¹it is a chronic leprosy in the skin of his body, and the priest shall pronounce him unclean. He shall not isolate him, 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“If the leprosy breaks out all over the skin, and the leprosy covers all the skin of the infected person from his head even to his feet, as far as it appears to 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 the priest shall examine him; and, behold, if the leprosy has covered all his flesh, he shall pronounce him clean of the plague. It has all turned white: he is clean.

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

¹⁴But whenever raw flesh appears in him, he shall be unclean.

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

¹⁵The priest shall examine the raw flesh, and pronounce him unclean: the raw flesh is unclean. It is leprosy.

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

¹⁶Or if the raw flesh turns again, and is changed to white, then he shall come to 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 shall examine him; and, behold, if the plague has turned white, then the priest shall pronounce him clean of the plague. He is clean.

¹⁸Zvino kana nyama ine mota paganda, pakapora,

¹⁸“When the body has a boil on its skin, and it has healed,

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

¹⁹and in the place of the boil there is a white rising, or a bright spot, reddish-white, then it shall be shown to 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 shall examine it; and behold, if its appearance is lower than the skin, and its hair has turned white, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean. It is the plague of leprosy. It has broken out in the boil.

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

²¹But if the priest examines it, and behold, there are no white hairs in it, and it isn’t deeper than the skin, but is dim, then the priest shall isolate him seven days.

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

²²If it spreads in the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean. It is a plague.

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

²³But if the bright spot stays in its place, and hasn’t spread, it is the scar from the boil; and the priest shall pronounce him clean.

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

²⁴“Or when the body has a burn from fire on its skin, and the raw flesh of the burn becomes a bright spot, reddish-white, 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.

²⁵then the priest shall examine it; and behold, if the hair in the bright spot has turned white, and its appearance is deeper than the skin; it is leprosy. It has broken out in the burning, and the priest shall pronounce him unclean. It is the 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.

²⁶But if the priest examines it, and behold, there is no white hair in the bright spot, and it isn’t lower than the skin, but is faded; then the priest shall isolate him seven days.

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

²⁷The priest shall examine him on the seventh day. If it has spread in the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean. It is the plague of leprosy.

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

²⁸If the bright spot stays in its place, and hasn’t spread in the skin, but is faded, it is the swelling from the burn, and the priest shall pronounce him clean; for it is the scar from the burn.

²⁹Kana murume kana mukadzi ane hosha pamusoro kana pandebvu,

²⁹“When a man or woman has a plague on the head or on 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 the priest shall examine the plague; and behold, if its appearance is deeper than the skin, and the hair in it is yellow and thin, then the priest shall pronounce him unclean: it is an itch, it is 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.

³¹If the priest examines the plague of itching, and behold, its appearance isn’t deeper than the skin, and there is no black hair in it, then the priest shall isolate him the person infected with itching seven days.

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

³²On the seventh day the priest shall examine the plague; and behold, if the itch hasn’t spread, and there is no yellow hair in it, and the appearance of the itch isn’t deeper than the skin,

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

³³then he shall be shaved, but he shall not shave the itch; and the priest shall shut him up who has the itch seven more 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.

³⁴On the seventh day, the priest shall examine the itch; and behold, if the itch hasn’t spread in the skin, and its appearance isn’t deeper than the skin, then the priest shall pronounce him clean. He shall wash his clothes, and be clean.

³⁵Asi kana pakafunuka pakanyenga pose paganda shure kokunatswa kwake;

³⁵But if the itch spreads in the skin after his cleansing,

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

³⁶then the priest shall examine him; and behold, if the itch has spread in the skin, the priest shall not look for the yellow 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.

³⁷But if in his eyes the itch is arrested, and black hair has grown in it; the itch is healed, he is clean. The priest shall pronounce him clean.

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

³⁸“When a man or a woman has bright spots in the skin of the body, even white bright spots;

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

³⁹then the priest shall examine them; and behold, if the bright spots on the skin of their body are a dull white, it is a harmless rash, it has broken out in the skin; he is clean.

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

⁴⁰“If a man’s hair has fallen from his head, he is bald. He is clean.

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

⁴¹If his hair has fallen off from the front part of his head, he is forehead bald. He is clean.

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

⁴²But if there is in the bald head, or the bald forehead, a reddish-white plague; it is leprosy breaking out in his bald head, or his bald forehead.

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

⁴³Then the priest shall examine him; and, behold, if the rising of the plague is reddish-white in his bald head, or in his bald forehead, like 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 shall surely pronounce him unclean. His plague is on 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“The leper in whom the plague is shall wear torn clothes, and the hair of his head shall hang loose. He shall cover his upper lip, and shall cry, ‘Unclean! Unclean!’

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

⁴⁶All the days in which the plague is in him he shall be unclean. He is unclean. He shall dwell alone. Outside of the camp shall be his dwelling.

⁵⁵Then the priest shall examine it, after the plague is washed; and behold, if the plague hasn’t changed its color, and the plague hasn’t spread, it is unclean; you shall burn it in the fire. It is a mildewed spot, whether the bareness is inside or outside.
