ከተላላፊ የቈዳ በሽታ የመንጻት ሥርዐት
1እግዚአብሔር (ያህዌ) ሙሴን እንዲህ አለው፤ 2“የታመመው ሰው እንዲነጻ ወደ ካህኑ በሚወስዱት ጊዜ ሥርዐቱ እንዲህ ነው፦ 3ካህኑ ከሰፈር ወደ ውጭ ወጥቶ ይመርምረው፤ ሰውየው ከተላላፊ የቈዳ በሽታው14፥3 በትውፊት ለምጽ ይባላል። የዕብራይስጡ ቃል ከቈዳ ጋር ለተያያዘ በሽታ አንድ ቃል ነው፤ በዚህ ምዕራፍ በሌላ ስፍራም ይገኛል። ተፈውሶ ከሆነ፣ 4ካህኑ ስለሚነጻው ሰው፣ ለመብላት ከተፈቀደው የወፍ ዐይነት ሁለት ከነሕይወታቸው፣ የዝግባ ዕንጨት፣ ደመቅ ያለ ቀይ ድርና ሂሶጵ እንዲያመጣ ይዘዝ። 5ካህኑም ከወፎቹ አንዱን በሸክላ ዕቃ ውስጥ ባለ የምንጭ ውሃ ላይ እንዲታረድ ይዘዝ። 6በሕይወት ያለውንም ወፍ ከዝግባው ዕንጨት፣ ደመቅ ካለው ቀይ ድርና ከሂሶጵ ጋር በምንጩ ውሃ ላይ በታረደው ወፍ ደም ውስጥ ይንከር። 7ከተላላፊ በሽታ የሚነጻውንም ሰው ሰባት ጊዜ ይርጨው፤ መንጻቱንም ያስታውቅ፤ በሕይወት ያለውንም ወፍ ወደ ውጭ ይልቀቀው።
8“የሚነጻው ሰው ልብሱን ይጠብ፤ ጠጕሩን በሙሉ ይላጭ፤ ሰውነቱን በውሃ ይታጠብ፤ በሥርዐቱም መሠረት ንጹሕ ይሆናል። ከዚህም በኋላ ወደ ሰፈር መግባት ይችላል፤ ነገር ግን ሰባት ቀን ከድንኳኑ ውጭ ይቈይ። 9በሰባተኛውም ቀን ጠጕሩን በሙሉ ይላጭ፤ ራሱን፣ ጢሙን፣ ቅንድቡንና ሌላውንም ጠጕር ሁሉ ይላጭ። ልብሱን ይጠብ፤ ሰውነቱን በውሃ ይታጠብ፤ ንጹሕም ይሆናል።
10“በስምንተኛው ቀን ነውር የሌለባቸውን ሁለት ተባዕት የበግ ጠቦቶችና ነውር የሌለባትን አንዲት የአንድ ዓመት እንስት በግ ያቅርብ፤ እንዲሁም ለእህል ቍርባን የሚሆን በዘይት የተለወሰ የኢፍ ሦስት ዐሥረኛ14፥10 6.5 ሊትር ገደማ ይሆናል የላመ ዱቄት ያቅርብ፤ ደግሞ አንድ ሎግ14፥10 0.3 ሊትር ገደማ ይሆናል፤ እንዲሁም 12፡15፡21፡24 ይመ ዘይት ያምጣ። 11ሰውየው የነጻ መሆኑን የሚያስታውቀው ካህን የሚነጻውን ሰውና መሥዋዕቶቹን በመገናኛው ድንኳን ደጃፍ ላይ በእግዚአብሔር (ያህዌ) ፊት ያቅርብ።
12“ካህኑም ከተባዕቱ ጠቦቶች በመውሰድ ከሎግ ዘይቱ ጋር የበደል መሥዋዕት አድርጎ ያቅርብ፤ የሚወዘወዝ መሥዋዕት በማድረግም በእግዚአብሔር (ያህዌ) ፊት ይወዝውዛቸው። 13ጠቦቱንም፣ የኀጢአት መሥዋዕትና የሚቃጠል መሥዋዕት በሚታረድበት በተቀደሰው ስፍራ ይረደው፤ የኀጢአት መሥዋዕቱ ለካህኑ እንደሚሰጥ ሁሉ የበደል መሥዋዕቱም ለካህኑ ይሰጥ፤ ይህም እጅግ የተቀደሰ ነው። 14ካህኑ ከበደል መሥዋዕቱ ደም ወስዶ የሚነጻውን ሰው ቀኝ ጆሮ ታችኛውን ጫፍ፣ የቀኝ እጁን አውራ ጣትና የቀኝ እግሩን አውራ ጣት ያስነካ። 15ካህኑም ከሎግ ዘይት ወስዶ በራሱ ግራ እጅ መዳፍ ውስጥ ይጨምር፤ 16የቀኝ እጁንም ጣት በመዳፉ በያዘው ዘይት ውስጥ በመንከር በእግዚአብሔር (ያህዌ) ፊት ሰባት ጊዜ በጣቱ ይርጭ። 17ካህኑ በመዳፉ ውስጥ ከቀረው ዘይት ጥቂቱን ወስዶ የሚነጻውን ሰው ቀኝ ጆሮ ታችኛውን ጫፍ፣ የቀኝ እጁን አውራ ጣትና የቀኝ እግሩን አውራ ጣት በበደል መሥዋዕቱ ደም ላይ ደርቦ ይቅባ። 18በመዳፉ ላይ የቀረውንም ዘይት በሚነጻው ሰው ራስ ላይ ያድርግ፤ በእግዚአብሔርም (ያህዌ) ፊት ያስተስርይለት።
19“ካህኑም የኀጢአት መሥዋዕቱን ያቅርብ፤ ከርኩሰቱ ለሚነጻውም ሰው ያስተስርይለት፤ ከዚህ በኋላ የሚቃጠለውን መሥዋዕት ይረድ፤ 20ከእህል ቍርባኑም ጋር በመሠዊያው ላይ በማቅረብ ያስተስርይለት፤ ሰውየውም ንጹሕ ይሆናል።
21“ሰውየው ድኻ ከሆነና እነዚህን ለማቅረብ ዐቅሙ ካልፈቀደለት፣ ማስተስረያ እንዲሆነው የሚወዘወዝ አንድ ተባዕት የበግ ጠቦት ለበደል መሥዋዕት፣ በዘይት የተለወሰ የኢፍ አንድ ዐሥረኛ14፥21 2 ሊትር ገደማ ይሆናል የላመ ዱቄት ለእህል ቍርባን ያቅርብ፤ ደግሞም አንድ ሎግ ዘይት ያምጣ፤ 22እንዲሁም ሁለት ርግቦች ወይም ሁለት የዋኖስ ጫጩቶች ዐቅሙ የፈቀደውን አንዱን ለኀጢአት መሥዋዕት፣ ሌላውን ለሚቃጠል መሥዋዕት ያቅርብ።
23“እነዚህንም በስምንተኛው ቀን ስለ መንጻቱ ሥርዐት ወደ ካህኑ ወደ መገናኛው ድንኳን ደጃፍ በእግዚአብሔር (ያህዌ) ፊት ያቅርብ። 24ካህኑም ለበደል መሥዋዕት የሚሆነውን የበግ ጠቦትና አንድ ሎግ ዘይት ይቀበል፤ የሚወዘወዝ መሥዋዕት በማድረግም በእግዚአብሔር (ያህዌ) ፊት ይወዝውዛቸው። 25ለበደል መሥዋዕት የሚሆነውንም የበግ ጠቦት ይረድ፤ ከደሙም ጥቂት ወስዶ የሚነጻውን ሰው የቀኝ ጆሮ ታችኛ ጫፍ፣ የቀኝ እጁን አውራ ጣትና የቀኝ እግሩን አውራ ጣት ያስነካ፤ 26ከዘይቱም ጥቂቱን በግራ እጁ መዳፍ ውስጥ ያፍስስ፤ 27የቀኝ እጁንም ጣት በመዳፉ በያዘው ዘይት ውስጥ በመንከር በእግዚአብሔር (ያህዌ) ፊት ሰባት ጊዜ ይርጭ። 28በመዳፉ ከያዘው ዘይት ጥቂቱን ወስዶ የበደል መሥዋዕቱን ደም ባስነካበት ቦታ፣ ይኸውም የሚነጻውን ሰው ቀኝ ጆሮ ጫፍ፣ የቀኝ እጁን አውራ ጣትና የቀኝ እግሩን አውራ ጣት ያስነካ። 29ካህኑ በእግዚአብሔር (ያህዌ) ፊት ያስተሰርይለት ዘንድ በመዳፉ ከያዘው ዘይት የቀረውን በሚነጻው ሰው ራስ ላይ ያፍስስ፤ 30ካህኑም ርግቦቹን ወይም የዋኖሶቹን ጫጩቶች የሰውየው ዐቅም የፈቀደውን ይሠዋል፤ 31ከእነዚህም አንዱን14፥31 የሰብዓ ሊቃናትና የሱርሰት ትርጕሞች ከዚህ ጋር ይስማማሉ፤ ዕብራይስጡ 31 የሰውየው ዐቅም የፈቀደውን ያህል አንዱን ለኀጢአት ይላል ለኀጢአት መሥዋዕት፣ ሌላውን ለሚቃጠል መሥዋዕት አድርጎ ከእህሉ ቍርባን ጋር ያቅርብ፤ በዚህም ሁኔታ ካህኑ ለሚነጻው ሰው በእግዚአብሔር (ያህዌ) ፊት ያስተሰርይለታል።”
32ተላላፊ የቈዳ በሽታ ይዞት የሚነጻበትን መደበኛ መሥዋዕት ለማቅረብ ዐቅም ላነሰው ሰው ሕጉ ይህ ነው።
ልብስ ላይ ከሚታይ ተላላፊ በሽታ መንጻት
33እግዚአብሔር (ያህዌ) ሙሴንና አሮንን እንዲህ አላቸው፤ 34“ርስት አድርጌ ወደምሰጣቸው ወደ ከነዓን ምድር በገባችሁ ጊዜ፣ በዚያ አገር አንዱን ቤት በተላላፊ በሽታ የበከልሁ እንደ ሆነ፣ 35ባለቤቱ ወደ ካህኑ ሄዶ፣ ‘በቤቴ ውስጥ ተላላፊ በሽታ የሚመስል ነገር አይቻለሁ’ ብሎ ይንገረው። 36ካህኑ ወደዚያ ቤት በመግባት በሽታውን መርምሮ ርኩስ መሆኑን ከማስታወቁ በፊት፣ ቤቱን ባዶ እንዲያደርጉት ይዘዝ፤ ከዚህ በኋላ ካህኑ ወደ ቤቱ ገብቶ ይመርምር። 37በግድግዳው ላይ ያለውን ተላላፊ በሽታ በሚመረምርበት ጊዜ፣ መልኩ ወደ አረንጓዴነት ወይም ወደ ቀይነት የሚያደላ የተቦረቦረ ነገር በግድግዳው ቢታይ፣ 38ካህኑ ከቤቱ ወደ ደጅ ወጥቶ ቤቱን ሰባት ቀን ይዝጋው። 39ካህኑም በሰባተኛው ቀን ቤቱን ለመመርመር ይመለስ፤ ተላላፊው በሽታ በግድግዳው ተስፋፍቶ ቢገኝ፣ 40የተበከሉት ድንጋዮች ተሰርስረው እንዲወጡና ከከተማው ውጭ ባለው ርኩስ ስፍራ እንዲጣሉ ይዘዝ፤ 41የቤቱ ግድግዳ በሙሉ በውስጥ በኩል እንዲፋቅና ፍቅፋቂው ከከተማው ውጭ ባለው ርኩስ ስፍራ እንዲደፋ ያድርግ። 42በወጡትም ድንጋዮች ቦታ ሌሎች ድንጋዮች አምጥተው ይተኩ፤ ሌላም ጭቃ ወስደው ቤቱን ይምረጉ።
43“ድንጋዮቹ ወጥተው፣ ቤቱ ከተፈቀፈቀና ከተመረገ በኋላ ተላላፊው በሽታ እንደ ገና በቤቱ ውስጥ ከታየ፣ 44ካህኑ ሄዶ ይመርምረው፤ ተላላፊው በሽታ በቤቱ ውስጥ ተስፋፍቶ ከተገኘ፣ አደገኛ በሽታ ነው፤ ቤቱም ርኩስ ነው። 45ስለዚህ ቤቱ ይፍረስ፤ ድንጋዩ፣ ዕንጨቱና ምርጊቱ በሙሉ ከከተማ ውጭ ባለው ርኩስ ስፍራ ይጣል።
46“ቤቱ ተዘግቶ ሳለ ማንኛውም ሰው ቢገባበት፣ ያ ሰው እስከ ማታ ድረስ ርኩስ ይሆናል። 47በዚያ ቤት ገብቶ የተኛ ወይም የበላ ማንኛውም ሰው ልብሶቹን ይጠብ።
48“ነገር ግን ቤቱ ከተመረገ በኋላ፣ ካህኑ ሊመረምረው በሚመጣበት ጊዜ ተላላፊው በሽታ ሳይስፋፋ ቢገኝ፣ በሽታው ስለ ለቀቀው ቤቱ ንጹሕ መሆኑን ያስታውቅ። 49ቤቱንም ለማንጻት ሁለት ወፎች፣ የዝግባ ዕንጨት፣ ደመቅ ያለ ቀይ ድርና ሂሶጵ ያቅርብ። 50ከወፎቹም አንዱን በሸክላ ዕቃ ውስጥ ባለ የምንጭ ውሃ ላይ ይረድ። 51የዝግባውን ዕንጨት፣ ሂሶጱን፣ ደመቅ ያለውን ቀይ ድርና በሕይወት ያለውን ወፍ ወስዶ በታረደው ወፍ ደምና በምንጩ ውሃ ውስጥ ይንከር፤ ቤቱንም ሰባት ጊዜ ይርጭ። 52ቤቱንም በወፉ ደም፣ በምንጩ ውሃ፣ በሕይወት ባለው ወፍ፣ በዝግባው ዕንጨት፣ በሂሶጱና ደመቅ ባለው ቀይ ድር ያንጻው። 53በሕይወት ያለውንም ወፍ ከከተማ ወደ ውጭ ይልቀቀው፤ በዚህ ሁኔታ ለቤቱ ያስተሰርይለታል፤ ቤቱም ንጹሕ ይሆናል።”
54ይህ ሕግ ለማንኛውም ተላላፊ የቈዳ በሽታ፣ ለሚያሳክክ ሕመም፣ 55በልብስና በቤት ላይ ለሚመጣ ተላላፊ በሽታ፣ 56ለዕብጠት፣ ለችፍታ ወይም ለቋቍቻ፣ 57አንድ ነገር ንጹሕ ወይም ርኩስ መሆኑ የሚታወቅበት ነው። ይህ ለተላላፊ የቈዳ በሽታ እንዲሁም በልብስና በቤት ላይ ለሚወጣ ተላላፊ በሽታ የሚያገለግል ሕግ ነው።
1And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 2This shall be the law of the leper in the day of his cleansing: He shall be brought unto the priest: 3And 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; 4Then 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:14.4 birds: or, sparrows 5And the priest shall command that one of the birds be killed in an earthen vessel over running water: 6As 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: 7And 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.14.7 into…: Heb. upon the face of the field 8And 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. 9But 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.
10And 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.14.10 of the…: Heb. the daughter of her year 11And 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: 12And 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: 13And 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: 14And 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: 15And the priest shall take some of the log of oil, and pour it into the palm of his own left hand: 16And 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: 17And 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: 18And 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. 19And 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: 20And 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.
21And 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;14.21 cannot…: Heb. his hand reach not14.21 to be…: Heb. for a waving 22And 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. 23And 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. 24And 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: 25And 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: 26And the priest shall pour of the oil into the palm of his own left hand: 27And the priest shall sprinkle with his right finger some of the oil that is in his left hand seven times before the LORD: 28And 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: 29And 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. 30And he shall offer the one of the turtledoves, or of the young pigeons, such as he can get; 31Even 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. 32This 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, 34When 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; 35And 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: 36Then 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:14.36 empty: or, prepare 37And 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; 38Then the priest shall go out of the house to the door of the house, and shut up the house seven days: 39And the priest shall come again the seventh day, and shall look: and, behold, if the plague be spread in the walls of the house; 40Then 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: 41And 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: 42And 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. 43And 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; 44Then 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. 45And 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. 46Moreover he that goeth into the house all the while that it is shut up shall be unclean until the even. 47And he that lieth in the house shall wash his clothes; and he that eateth in the house shall wash his clothes. 48And 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.14.48 shall come…: Heb. in coming in shall come in, etc 49And he shall take to cleanse the house two birds, and cedar wood, and scarlet, and hyssop: 50And he shall kill the one of the birds in an earthen vessel over running water: 51And 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: 52And 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: 53But 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.
54This is the law for all manner of plague of leprosy, and scall, 55And for the leprosy of a garment, and of a house, 56And for a rising, and for a scab, and for a bright spot: 57To teach when it is unclean, and when it is clean: this is the law of leprosy.14.57 when it is unclean…: Heb. in the day of the unclean, and in the day of the clean
