14  A i korero a Ihowa ki a Mohi, i mea,

Ko te ture tenei mo te repera, i te ra e purea ai; me kawe ki te tohunga;

A ka haere te tohunga ki waho o te puni, a ka titiro te tohunga, a ki te mea kua ora te repera i pa ki taua tangata i reperatia;

Katahi ka whakahau te tohunga kia tikina ma te tangata e purea ana kia rua nga manu, hei nga mea ora, hei nga mea pokekore, me te rakau hita, me te ngangana, me te hihopa:

A ka whakahau te tohunga kia patua tetahi o nga manu ki roto ki tetahi oko oneone, ki runga i te wai rere:

Na ko te manu ora me mau e ia, me te rakau hita, me te ngangana, me te hihopa, a ka toua tahitia me te manu ora ki te toto o te manu i patua ki runga i te wai rere:

A kia whitu ana tauhiuhinga ki te tangata e purea ana i te repera, a ka kiia he pokekore, a ka tukua atu te manu ora ki te mata o te parae.

A me horoi ona kakahu e te tangata e purea ana, me heu katoa hoki ona huruhuru; ka horoi ano i a ia ki te wai, a ka kore ona poke: a, muri iho, ka haere mai ki te puni; otiia kia whitu nga ra e noho ai i waho i tona teneti.

Na, i te whitu o nga ra, me heu katoa ona makawe o tona matenga, tona pahau, ona tukemata, ara ona huruhuru katoa, me heu; me horoi hoki ona kakahu, me horoi ano hoki ona kikokiko ki te wai, a ka kore ona poke.

10 A i te waru o nga ra me tiki e ia etahi reme toa, kia rua, hei nga mea kohakore, me tetahi reme uha tau tahi, hei te mea kohakore, kia toru hoki nga whakatekau paraoa hei whakahere totokore, hei te mea konatu ki te hinu, kia kotahi hoki te roko hinu.

11 A ma te tohunga, ma te kaipure, e whakatu te tangata e purea ana, me aua mea hoki, ki te aroaro o Ihowa, ki te whatitoka o te tapenakara o te whakaminenga:

12 Na ka mau te tohunga ki tetahi o nga reme toa, a ka whakaherea hei whakahere mo te he, me te roko hinu hoki, a ka poipoia hei whakahere poipoi ki te aroaro o Ihowa:

13 Me patu ano e ia te reme toa ki te wahi e patua ai e ia te whakahere hara me te tahunga tinana, ki te wahi tapu: i te mea ma te tohunga te whakahere hara, mana ano hoki te whakahere mo te he: he mea tino tapu tena:

14 Na ka mau te tohunga ki tetahi wahi o te toto o te whakahere mo te he, a ka pania e te tohunga ki te matamata o te taringa matau o te tangata e purea ana, ki te koromatua hoki o tona ringa matau, ki te koromatua ano hoki o tona waewae matau:

15 Na ka mau te tohunga ki tetahi wahi o te roko hinu, ka riringi ki te kapu o tona ake ringa maui:

16 A ka toua e te tohunga tona maihao matau ki te hinu i tona ringa maui, a kia whitu nga tauhiuhinga i te hinu e tona maihao, ki te aroaro o Ihowa:

17 A me pani e te tohunga tetahi wahi o te toenga o te hinu i tona ringa ki te matamata o te taringa matau o te tangata e purea ana, ki te koromatua hoki o tona ringa matau, ki te koromatua ano hoki o tona waewae matau, ki runga i te toto o te whak ahere mo te he:

18 A, ko te toenga o te hinu i te ringa o te tohunga, me riringi ki te matenga o te tangata e purea ana: a ka whakamarie te tohunga mona ki te aroaro o Ihowa.

19 A ka whakaherea e te tohunga te whakahere hara, ka whakamarie hoki mo te tangata e purea ana, ara mo tona poke; a, muri iho, ka patua e ia te tahunga tinana:

20 A ka whakaekea te tahunga tinana me te whakahere totokore e te tohunga ki te aata: a ka whakamarie te tohunga mona, a ka kore ona poke.

21 A, ki te mea he rawakore ia, a e kore ena mea e taea, na me tiki e ia kia kotahi reme toa hei whakahere mo te he, hei mea poipoi, hei whakamarie mona, kia kotahi ano hoki te whakatekau paraoa, hei te mea i konatunatua ki te hinu, hei whakahere t otokore, me tetahi roko hinu:

22 Me etahi kukupa kia rua, etahi pi kukupa ranei kia rua, nga mea e taea e tona ringa; ko tetahi hei whakahere hara, ko tetahi hei tahunga tinana;

23 A hei te waru o nga ra ka kawe ai ki te tohunga hei purenga mona, ki te whatitoka o te tapenakara o te whakaminenga, ki te aroaro o Ihowa.

24 Na ka mau te tohunga ki te reme mo te whakahere mo te he, me te roko hinu, a ka poipoia e te tohunga hei whakahere poipoi ki te aroaro o Ihowa.

25 A ka patua e ia te reme e whakaherea ana mo te he, a ka tango te tohunga i tetahi wahi o te toto o te whakahere mo te he, ka pani ai ki te matamata o te taringa matau o te tangata e purea ana, ki te koromatua hoki o tona ringa matau, ki te korom atua ano hoki o tona waewae matau:

26 A me riringi e te tohunga tetahi wahi o te hinu ki te kapu o tona ake ringa maui:

27 A ka tauhiuhia e te tohunga ki tona maihao matau tetahi wahi o te hinu i tona ringa maui, kia whitu nga meatanga ki te aroaro o Ihowa:

28 A ka pania e te tohunga tetahi wahi o te hinu i tona ringa ki te matamata o te taringa matau o te tangata e purea ana, ki te koromatua hoki o tona ringa matau, ki te koromatua ano hoki o tona waewae matau, ki te wahi i te toto o te whakahere mo te he:

29 A, ko te toenga o te hinu i te ringa o te tohunga, me riringi ki te matenga o te tangata e purea ana, hei whakamarie mona ki te aroaro o Ihowa.

30 A me whakahere tetahi o nga kukupa, o nga pi kukupa ranei, o nga mea hoki i taea e tona ringa;

31 Ae ra, o nga mea i taea e tona ringa, ko tetahi hei whakahere hara, ko tetahi hei tahunga tinana, me te whakahere totokore hoki: a ka whakamarie te tohunga mo te tangata e purea ana, ki te aroaro o Ihowa.

32 Ko te ture tenei mo te tangata i pangia e te repera, e kore nei e taea e tona ringa nga mea mo tona purenga.

33 I korero ano a Ihowa ki a Mohi raua ko Arona, i mea,

34 E tae koutou ki te whenua o Kanaana e hoatu nei e ahau hei kainga tupu mo koutou, a ka whakapangia atu e ahau te repera ki tetahi whare o te whenua e nohoia e koutou;

35 A ka haere te tangata nona te whare, ka korero ki te tohunga, ka mea, Ki taku titiro, me te mea kua pangia te whare:

36 Na ka whakahau te tohunga kia whakawateatia te whare, i te mea kahore ano te tohunga i haere noa kia kite i te mea i pa mai; kei poke nga mea katoa o roto o te whare; a ka oti, ka haere te tohunga kia kite i te whare:

37 Na ka titiro ia ki te mea i pa mai, a ki te mea kua pangia nga tara o te whare, a kua whai koputaputa he mea ma kakariki, puwhero ranei, a ki te titiro atu kua ngoto ki roto ki te tara;

38 Na ka puta te tohunga ki waho o te whare ki te kuwaha o te whare, a ka tutakina te whare, kia whitu nga ra:

39 A ka haere mai ano te tohunga i te whitu o nga ra, a ka titiro; a ki te mea kua horapa ki nga pakitara o te whare te mea i pa mai:

40 Na, ka whakahau te tohunga kia tangohia nga kohatu i pangia, kia maka ki te wahi poke ki waho o te pa:

41 A ka mea ia kia waruhia a roto o te whare a taka noa, a me riringi e ratou te puehu i wariuhia e ratou ki waho o te pa, ki te wahi poke:

42 A ka tikina e ratou etahi atu kohatu, ka whakanoho atu ai ki te wahi o aua kohatu; me tiki ano e ia he moata ke, ka pani ai ki te whare.

43 A ki te hoki mai te mea i pa mai, a ka tupu ki te whare i muri i tana tangohanga i nga kohatu, i tana waruhanga i te whare, i te paninga hoki;

44 Katahi ka haere te tohunga, a ka titiro; a ki te mea kua horapa ki te whare te mea i pa mai, he repera ngau kino to te whare; he poke.

45 Na ka wawahi i te whare, i ona kohatu, i ona rakau, i te moata katoa o te whare: a ka kawea atu ki waho o te pa, ki te wahi poke.

46 Ki te haere hoki tetahi ki roto ki te whare, i te mea e tutaki ana, ka poke ia a ahiahi noa.

47 Ki te takoto hoki tetahi ki roto i te whare, me horoi e ia ona kakahu: ki te kai ano hoki tetahi ki roto i te whare, me horoi ano e ia ona kakahu.

48 A ki te haere te tohunga ki roto, a ka titiro, a kihai i horapa ki te whare te mea i pa mai, i muri iho i te paninga o te whare: na ka kiia e te tohunga he pokekore te whare, no te mea kua kore taua mea i pa ra.

49 A ka tikina e ia etahi manu, kia rua, hei horohoro mo te whare, he rakau hita, he ngangana, he hihopa:

50 A ka patua e ia tetahi o nga manu ki roto ki te oko oneone, ki runga i te wai rere.

51 Na ka mau ki te rakau hita, ki te hihopa, ki te ngangana, me te manu ora, ka tou ai ki te toto o te manu i patua, ki te wai rere hoki, na kia whitu ana tauhiuhinga ki te whare:

52 A ka horohoroa e ia te whare ki te toto o te manu, ki te wai rere hoki, ki te manu ora, ki te rakau hita, ki te hihopa, ki te ngangana:

53 Engari me tuku e ia te manu ora ki waho o te pa, ki te mata o te parae; na ka whakamarie mo te whare: a ka kore ona poke.

54 Ko te ture tenei mo nga panga katoa o te repera, mo te patito hoki;

55 Mo te repera hoki o te kakahu, o te whare;

56 Mo te puku, mo te paku, mo te wahi tu a kanapa nei:

57 Hei whakaatu ko ahea poke ai, ko ahea pokekore ai: ko te ture tenei mo te repera.

Cleansing From Defiling Skin Diseases

14 The Lord said to Moses, “These are the regulations for any diseased person at the time of their ceremonial cleansing, when they are brought to the priest:(A) The priest is to go outside the camp and examine them.(B) If they have been healed of their defiling skin disease,[a](C) the priest shall order that two live clean birds and some cedar wood, scarlet yarn and hyssop(D) be brought for the person to be cleansed.(E) Then the priest shall order that one of the birds be killed over fresh water in a clay pot.(F) He is then to take the live bird and dip it, together with the cedar wood, the scarlet yarn and the hyssop, into the blood of the bird that was killed over the fresh water.(G) Seven times(H) he shall sprinkle(I) the one to be cleansed of the defiling disease, and then pronounce them clean. After that, he is to release the live bird in the open fields.(J)

“The person to be cleansed must wash their clothes,(K) shave off all their hair and bathe with water;(L) then they will be ceremonially clean.(M) After this they may come into the camp,(N) but they must stay outside their tent for seven days. On the seventh day(O) they must shave off all their hair;(P) they must shave their head, their beard, their eyebrows and the rest of their hair. They must wash their clothes and bathe themselves with water, and they will be clean.(Q)

10 “On the eighth day(R) they must bring two male lambs and one ewe lamb(S) a year old, each without defect, along with three-tenths of an ephah[b](T) of the finest flour mixed with olive oil for a grain offering,(U) and one log[c] of oil.(V) 11 The priest who pronounces them clean shall present(W) both the one to be cleansed and their offerings before the Lord at the entrance to the tent of meeting.(X)

12 “Then the priest is to take one of the male lambs and offer it as a guilt offering,(Y) along with the log of oil; he shall wave them before the Lord as a wave offering.(Z) 13 He is to slaughter the lamb in the sanctuary area(AA) where the sin offering[d] and the burnt offering are slaughtered. Like the sin offering, the guilt offering belongs to the priest;(AB) it is most holy. 14 The priest is to take some of the blood of the guilt offering and put it on the lobe of the right ear of the one to be cleansed, on the thumb of their right hand and on the big toe of their right foot.(AC) 15 The priest shall then take some of the log of oil, pour it in the palm of his own left hand,(AD) 16 dip his right forefinger into the oil in his palm, and with his finger sprinkle some of it before the Lord seven times.(AE) 17 The priest is to put some of the oil remaining in his palm on the lobe of the right ear of the one to be cleansed, on the thumb of their right hand and on the big toe of their right foot, on top of the blood of the guilt offering.(AF) 18 The rest of the oil in his palm the priest shall put on the head of the one to be cleansed(AG) and make atonement for them before the Lord.

19 “Then the priest is to sacrifice the sin offering and make atonement for the one to be cleansed from their uncleanness.(AH) After that, the priest shall slaughter the burnt offering 20 and offer it on the altar, together with the grain offering, and make atonement for them,(AI) and they will be clean.(AJ)

21 “If, however, they are poor(AK) and cannot afford these,(AL) they must take one male lamb as a guilt offering to be waved to make atonement for them, together with a tenth of an ephah[e] of the finest flour mixed with olive oil for a grain offering, a log of oil, 22 and two doves or two young pigeons,(AM) such as they can afford, one for a sin offering and the other for a burnt offering.(AN)

23 “On the eighth day they must bring them for their cleansing to the priest at the entrance to the tent of meeting,(AO) before the Lord.(AP) 24 The priest is to take the lamb for the guilt offering,(AQ) together with the log of oil,(AR) and wave them before the Lord as a wave offering.(AS) 25 He shall slaughter the lamb for the guilt offering and take some of its blood and put it on the lobe of the right ear of the one to be cleansed, on the thumb of their right hand and on the big toe of their right foot.(AT) 26 The priest is to pour some of the oil into the palm of his own left hand,(AU) 27 and with his right forefinger sprinkle some of the oil from his palm seven times before the Lord. 28 Some of the oil in his palm he is to put on the same places he put the blood of the guilt offering—on the lobe of the right ear of the one to be cleansed, on the thumb of their right hand and on the big toe of their right foot. 29 The rest of the oil in his palm the priest shall put on the head of the one to be cleansed, to make atonement for them before the Lord.(AV) 30 Then he shall sacrifice the doves or the young pigeons, such as the person can afford,(AW) 31 one as a sin offering and the other as a burnt offering,(AX) together with the grain offering. In this way the priest will make atonement before the Lord on behalf of the one to be cleansed.(AY)

32 These are the regulations for anyone who has a defiling skin disease(AZ) and who cannot afford the regular offerings(BA) for their cleansing.

Cleansing From Defiling Molds

33 The Lord said to Moses and Aaron, 34 “When you enter the land of Canaan,(BB) which I am giving you as your possession,(BC) and I put a spreading mold in a house in that land, 35 the owner of the house must go and tell the priest, ‘I have seen something that looks like a defiling mold in my house.’ 36 The priest is to order the house to be emptied before he goes in to examine the mold, so that nothing in the house will be pronounced unclean. After this the priest is to go in and inspect the house. 37 He is to examine the mold on the walls, and if it has greenish or reddish(BD) depressions that appear to be deeper than the surface of the wall, 38 the priest shall go out the doorway of the house and close it up for seven days.(BE) 39 On the seventh day(BF) the priest shall return to inspect the house. If the mold has spread on the walls, 40 he is to order that the contaminated stones be torn out and thrown into an unclean place outside the town.(BG) 41 He must have all the inside walls of the house scraped and the material that is scraped off dumped into an unclean place outside the town. 42 Then they are to take other stones to replace these and take new clay and plaster the house.

43 “If the defiling mold reappears in the house after the stones have been torn out and the house scraped and plastered, 44 the priest is to go and examine it and, if the mold has spread in the house, it is a persistent defiling mold; the house is unclean.(BH) 45 It must be torn down—its stones, timbers and all the plaster—and taken out of the town to an unclean place.

46 “Anyone who goes into the house while it is closed up will be unclean till evening.(BI) 47 Anyone who sleeps or eats in the house must wash their clothes.(BJ)

48 “But if the priest comes to examine it and the mold has not spread after the house has been plastered, he shall pronounce the house clean,(BK) because the defiling mold is gone. 49 To purify the house he is to take two birds and some cedar wood, scarlet yarn and hyssop.(BL) 50 He shall kill one of the birds over fresh water in a clay pot.(BM) 51 Then he is to take the cedar wood, the hyssop,(BN) the scarlet yarn and the live bird, dip them into the blood of the dead bird and the fresh water, and sprinkle the house seven times.(BO) 52 He shall purify the house with the bird’s blood, the fresh water, the live bird, the cedar wood, the hyssop and the scarlet yarn. 53 Then he is to release the live bird in the open fields(BP) outside the town. In this way he will make atonement for the house, and it will be clean.(BQ)

54 These are the regulations for any defiling skin disease,(BR) for a sore, 55 for defiling molds(BS) in fabric or in a house, 56 and for a swelling, a rash or a shiny spot,(BT) 57 to determine when something is clean or unclean.

These are the regulations for defiling skin diseases and defiling molds.(BU)

14 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,

This shall be the law of the leper in the day of his cleansing: He shall be brought unto the priest:

And the priest shall go forth out of the camp; and the priest shall look, and, behold, if the plague of leprosy be healed in the leper;

Then shall the priest command to take for him that is to be cleansed two birds alive and clean, and cedar wood, and scarlet, and hyssop:

And the priest shall command that one of the birds be killed in an earthen vessel over running water:

As for the living bird, he shall take it, and the cedar wood, and the scarlet, and the hyssop, and shall dip them and the living bird in the blood of the bird that was killed over the running water:

And he shall sprinkle upon him that is to be cleansed from the leprosy seven times, and shall pronounce him clean, and shall let the living bird loose into the open field.

And he that is to be cleansed shall wash his clothes, and shave off all his hair, and wash himself in water, that he may be clean: and after that he shall come into the camp, and shall tarry abroad out of his tent seven days.

But it shall be on the seventh day, that he shall shave all his hair off his head and his beard and his eyebrows, even all his hair he shall shave off: and he shall wash his clothes, also he shall wash his flesh in water, and he shall be clean.

10 And on the eighth day he shall take two he lambs without blemish, and one ewe lamb of the first year without blemish, and three tenth deals of fine flour for a meat offering, mingled with oil, and one log of oil.

11 And the priest that maketh him clean shall present the man that is to be made clean, and those things, before the Lord, at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation:

12 And the priest shall take one he lamb, and offer him for a trespass offering, and the log of oil, and wave them for a wave offering before the Lord:

13 And he shall slay the lamb in the place where he shall kill the sin offering and the burnt offering, in the holy place: for as the sin offering is the priest's, so is the trespass offering: it is most holy:

14 And the priest shall take some of the blood of the trespass offering, and the priest shall put it upon the tip of the right ear of him that is to be cleansed, and upon the thumb of his right hand, and upon the great toe of his right foot:

15 And the priest shall take some of the log of oil, and pour it into the palm of his own left hand:

16 And the priest shall dip his right finger in the oil that is in his left hand, and shall sprinkle of the oil with his finger seven times before the Lord:

17 And of the rest of the oil that is in his hand shall the priest put upon the tip of the right ear of him that is to be cleansed, and upon the thumb of his right hand, and upon the great toe of his right foot, upon the blood of the trespass offering:

18 And the remnant of the oil that is in the priest's hand he shall pour upon the head of him that is to be cleansed: and the priest shall make an atonement for him before the Lord.

19 And the priest shall offer the sin offering, and make an atonement for him that is to be cleansed from his uncleanness; and afterward he shall kill the burnt offering:

20 And the priest shall offer the burnt offering and the meat offering upon the altar: and the priest shall make an atonement for him, and he shall be clean.

21 And if he be poor, and cannot get so much; then he shall take one lamb for a trespass offering to be waved, to make an atonement for him, and one tenth deal of fine flour mingled with oil for a meat offering, and a log of oil;

22 And two turtledoves, or two young pigeons, such as he is able to get; and the one shall be a sin offering, and the other a burnt offering.

23 And he shall bring them on the eighth day for his cleansing unto the priest, unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, before the Lord.

24 And the priest shall take the lamb of the trespass offering, and the log of oil, and the priest shall wave them for a wave offering before the Lord:

25 And he shall kill the lamb of the trespass offering, and the priest shall take some of the blood of the trespass offering, and put it upon the tip of the right ear of him that is to be cleansed, and upon the thumb of his right hand, and upon the great toe of his right foot:

26 And the priest shall pour of the oil into the palm of his own left hand:

27 And the priest shall sprinkle with his right finger some of the oil that is in his left hand seven times before the Lord:

28 And the priest shall put of the oil that is in his hand upon the tip of the right ear of him that is to be cleansed, and upon the thumb of his right hand, and upon the great toe of his right foot, upon the place of the blood of the trespass offering:

29 And the rest of the oil that is in the priest's hand he shall put upon the head of him that is to be cleansed, to make an atonement for him before the Lord.

30 And he shall offer the one of the turtledoves, or of the young pigeons, such as he can get;

31 Even such as he is able to get, the one for a sin offering, and the other for a burnt offering, with the meat offering: and the priest shall make an atonement for him that is to be cleansed before the Lord.

32 This is the law of him in whom is the plague of leprosy, whose hand is not able to get that which pertaineth to his cleansing.

33 And the Lord spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,

34 When ye be come into the land of Canaan, which I give to you for a possession, and I put the plague of leprosy in a house of the land of your possession;

35 And he that owneth the house shall come and tell the priest, saying, It seemeth to me there is as it were a plague in the house:

36 Then the priest shall command that they empty the house, before the priest go into it to see the plague, that all that is in the house be not made unclean: and afterward the priest shall go in to see the house:

37 And he shall look on the plague, and, behold, if the plague be in the walls of the house with hollow strakes, greenish or reddish, which in sight are lower than the wall;

38 Then the priest shall go out of the house to the door of the house, and shut up the house seven days:

39 And the priest shall come again the seventh day, and shall look: and, behold, if the plague be spread in the walls of the house;

40 Then the priest shall command that they take away the stones in which the plague is, and they shall cast them into an unclean place without the city:

41 And he shall cause the house to be scraped within round about, and they shall pour out the dust that they scrape off without the city into an unclean place:

42 And they shall take other stones, and put them in the place of those stones; and he shall take other morter, and shall plaister the house.

43 And if the plague come again, and break out in the house, after that he hath taken away the stones, and after he hath scraped the house, and after it is plaistered;

44 Then the priest shall come and look, and, behold, if the plague be spread in the house, it is a fretting leprosy in the house; it is unclean.

45 And he shall break down the house, the stones of it, and the timber thereof, and all the morter of the house; and he shall carry them forth out of the city into an unclean place.

46 Moreover he that goeth into the house all the while that it is shut up shall be unclean until the even.

47 And he that lieth in the house shall wash his clothes; and he that eateth in the house shall wash his clothes.

48 And if the priest shall come in, and look upon it, and, behold, the plague hath not spread in the house, after the house was plaistered: then the priest shall pronounce the house clean, because the plague is healed.

49 And he shall take to cleanse the house two birds, and cedar wood, and scarlet, and hyssop:

50 And he shall kill the one of the birds in an earthen vessel over running water:

51 And he shall take the cedar wood, and the hyssop, and the scarlet, and the living bird, and dip them in the blood of the slain bird, and in the running water, and sprinkle the house seven times:

52 And he shall cleanse the house with the blood of the bird, and with the running water, and with the living bird, and with the cedar wood, and with the hyssop, and with the scarlet:

53 But he shall let go the living bird out of the city into the open fields, and make an atonement for the house: and it shall be clean.

54 This is the law for all manner of plague of leprosy, and scall,

55 And for the leprosy of a garment, and of a house,

56 And for a rising, and for a scab, and for a bright spot:

57 To teach when it is unclean, and when it is clean: this is the law of leprosy.
