Making People “Clean” From Skin Diseases
1The Lord spoke to Moses. He told him to say to the people, 2“Here are the rules for making anyone ‘clean’ who has had a skin disease. They apply when the person is brought to the priest. 3The priest must go outside the camp. He must look the person over carefully. Suppose they have been healed of their skin disease. 4Then the priest will order someone to bring him two live ‘clean’ birds. He will also order someone to bring him some cedar wood, bright red yarn and branches of a hyssop plant. All these things will be used to make the person ‘clean.’ 5The priest will order someone to kill one of the birds. It must be killed over fresh water in a clay pot. 6Then the priest must take the live bird. He must dip it into the blood of the bird killed over the fresh water. He must dip it into the blood together with the cedar wood, the bright red yarn and the hyssop plant. 7The priest will sprinkle the blood on the person who had the skin disease. That will make them ‘clean.’ The priest must sprinkle them seven times. Then the priest must announce that they are ‘clean.’ After that, the priest must let the live bird go free in the open fields.
8“The person must also wash their clothes to be made ‘clean.’ They must shave off all their hair. They must take a bath. Then they will be ‘clean.’ After that, they may come into the camp. But they must stay outside their tent for seven days. 9On the seventh day they must shave off all their hair. They must shave their head. They must shave off their beard. They must also shave off their eyebrows and the rest of their hair. They must wash their clothes. They must take a bath. Then they will be ‘clean.’
10“On the eighth day they must bring two male lambs and one female lamb as an offering. The female must be a year old. The lambs must not have any flaws. They must also bring 11 pounds of the finest flour as a grain offering. They must mix it with olive oil. They must also bring 11 ounces of oil. 11The priest who announces that the person is ‘clean’ must bring them and their offerings to me. He must do it at the entrance to the tent of meeting.
12“Then the priest must take one of the male lambs. He must offer it as a guilt offering. He must offer it along with 11 ounces of oil. He must lift all of it up and wave it in front of me as a wave offering. 13He must kill the lamb in the holy area where sin offerings and burnt offerings are killed. The guilt offering belongs to the priest, just as the sin offering does. The guilt offering is very holy. 14The priest must take some of the blood from the guilt offering and put it on the person’s right earlobe. He must put some on the thumb of their right hand. He must also put some on the big toe of their right foot. 15Then the priest must take some of the oil and pour it into his own left hand. 16He must dip his right forefinger into the oil in his hand. He must use his finger to sprinkle some of the oil in front of me seven times. 17The priest must put some of the oil in his hand on the same places he put the blood of the guilt offering. He must put some on the person’s right earlobe. He must put some on the thumb of their right hand. He must put some on the big toe of their right foot. 18He must put on their head the rest of the oil in his hand. It will pay for the person’s sin in my sight.
19“Then the priest must sacrifice the sin offering. It will pay for the person’s sin. They will be made ‘clean’ after being ‘unclean.’ After that, the priest will kill the burnt offering. 20He will offer it on the altar. He will offer it together with the grain offering. It will pay for the person’s sin. Then they will be ‘clean.’
21“But suppose they are poor. Suppose they can’t afford all these offerings. Then they must bring one male lamb as a guilt offering. It must be lifted up and waved in front of me to pay for their sin. They must also bring three and a half pounds of the finest flour along with the lamb. They must mix the flour with olive oil. It is a grain offering. They must offer it along with 11 ounces of oil. 22They must also bring two doves or two young pigeons that they can afford. One is for a sin offering. The other is for a burnt offering.
23“On the eighth day they must bring them to the priest so they can be made ‘clean.’ They must bring them to the entrance to the tent of meeting. They must do it in my sight. 24The priest must take the lamb for the guilt offering. He must take it together with the 11 ounces of oil. He must lift all of it up and wave it in front of me as a wave offering. 25He must kill the lamb for the guilt offering. He must take some of its blood and put it on the person’s right earlobe. He must put some on the thumb of their right hand. He must also put some on the big toe of their right foot. 26The priest must pour some of the oil into his own left hand. 27He must dip his right forefinger into the oil in his hand. He must use his finger to sprinkle some of it seven times in front of me. 28Here is what he must do with some of the oil in his hand. He must put it on the same places where he put the blood of the guilt offering. He must put some on the person’s right earlobe. He must put some on the thumb of their right hand. He must also put some on the big toe of their right foot. 29He must put on their head the rest of the oil in his hand. It will pay for the person’s sin in my sight. 30The priest will sacrifice the doves or the young pigeons that the person can afford. 31One is for a sin offering. The other is for a burnt offering. The priest must offer them together with the grain offering. In that way he will pay for the person’s sin in my sight. He will do it to make them ‘clean.’ ”
32These are the rules for anyone who has a skin disease. They are for people who can’t afford the regular offerings that are required to make them “clean.”
Making Things “Clean” From Mold
33The Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron. He told them to say to the people, 34“You will enter the land of Canaan. I am giving it to you as your own. When you enter it, suppose I put mold in one of your houses. And suppose the mold spreads. 35Then the owner of that house must go and speak to the priest. He must say, ‘I’ve seen something that looks like mold in my house.’ 36The priest must order everything to be taken out of the house. It must be done before he goes in to look carefully at the mold. If it is not done, the priest must announce that everything in the house is ‘unclean.’ After the house is empty the priest must go in and check it. 37He must look carefully at the mold on the walls. Suppose it looks as if it has green or red dents in it. And suppose the dents look as if they are behind the surface of the wall. 38Then the priest must go out the door. He must close the house up for seven days. 39On the seventh day the priest will return to check the house. Suppose the mold on the walls has spread. 40Then he must order someone to tear out the stones that have mold on them. He must have them thrown into an ‘unclean’ place outside the town. 41He must have all the inside walls of the house scraped. Everything scraped off must be dumped into an ‘unclean’ place outside the town. 42Then other stones must be put in the place of the stones that had mold on them. The inside walls of the house must be coated with new clay.
43“Suppose the stones have been torn out. The house has been scraped. And the walls have been coated with new clay. But the mold appears again. 44Then the priest must go and look things over carefully. Suppose the mold has spread in the house. Then it is the kind of mold that destroys things. The house is not ‘clean.’ 45It must be torn down. The stones, the wood and all the clay coating must be torn out. All of it must be taken out of the town to an ‘unclean’ place.
46“Suppose someone goes into the house while it is closed up. Then they will be ‘unclean’ until evening. 47If they sleep or eat in the house, they must wash their clothes.
48“But suppose the priest comes to look things over carefully. And suppose the mold has not spread after the walls had been coated with new clay. Then he will announce that the house is ‘clean.’ The mold is gone. 49To make the house pure, the priest must get two birds. He must also get some cedar wood, bright red yarn and branches of a hyssop plant. 50He must kill one of the birds over fresh water in a clay pot. 51Then he must take the cedar wood, the hyssop plant, the bright red yarn and the live bird. He must dip all of them into the blood of the dead bird. He must also dip them into the fresh water. He must sprinkle the house seven times. 52The priest will use the blood and the water to make the house pure. He will use the live bird to make it pure. He will also use the cedar wood, the hyssop plant and the bright red yarn to make it pure. 53Then he must let the live bird go free in the open fields outside the town. In that way he will make the house pure. It will be ‘clean.’ ”
54These are the rules for skin diseases. They apply to sores. 55They apply to mold in clothes or in houses. 56They also apply to swellings, rashes or shiny red spots on the skin. 57Use these rules to decide whether something is “clean” or not.
These are the rules for skin diseases and for mold.
Paglilinis ng Tao Matapos Gumaling sa Nakakahawang Sakit sa Balat.
1-2Ito ang mga tuntuning ibinigay ng Panginoon kay Moises tungkol sa paglilinis ng taong gumaling sa malubhang sakit sa balat:
Pagkatapos maipahayag ng pari na ang taoʼy gumaling na sa kanyang sakit, 3lalabas ang pari sa kampo at susuriin niya ang katawan ng taong iyon. Kung gumaling na nga siya sa kanyang sakit, 4magpapakuha ang pari ng dalawang malinis14:4 malinis: Ang ibig sabihin, itoʼy maaaring kainin o ihandog sa Panginoon. na ibong buhay, isang putol na kahoy na sedro, panaling pula, at isang kumpol ng halaman na isopo. 5Ipapatay ng pari ang isang ibon sa ibabaw ng palayok na may tubig na galing sa isang bukal. 6Pagkatapos, muli siyang kukuha ng buhay na ibon, kahoy na sedro, taling pula, at halamang isopo, at ilulubog lahat sa tubig na may dugo ng pinatay na ibon. 7At ang tubig na may dugo ay kanyang iwiwisik ng pitong beses sa taong gumaling sa kanyang sakit sa balat, at kanyang ipapahayag na magaling na ang taong iyon. At pagkatapos, pakakawalan ng pari ang buhay na ibon sa bukid.
8Pero bago siya ituring na malinis, kinakailangang labhan muna niya ang kanyang damit, magpaahit ng kanyang buhok at balahibo, at maligo. Pagkatapos nito, maaari na siyang pumasok sa kampo pero hindi pa rin siya makakatira sa loob ng kanyang tolda sa loob ng pitong araw. 9Sa ikapitong araw, muli niyang ipapaahit ang kanyang buhok at balahibo, lalabhan ang kanyang damit at maliligo.
10Sa ikawalong araw, kinakailangang magdala siya ng dalawang lalaking tupa at isang babaeng tupa na isang taong gulang, at walang kapintasan. Magdala rin siya ng anim na kilo ng magandang klaseng harina na hinaluan ng langis bilang handog ng pagpaparangal sa Panginoon. At magdala rin siya ng isang basong langis. 11Pagkatapos, dadalhin ng pari ang tao at ang handog niya sa presensya ng Panginoon malapit sa pintuan ng Toldang Tipanan.
12Kukunin ng pari ang isang lalaking tupa at ang isang basong langis, at ihahandog niya ito bilang handog na pambayad ng kasalanan. Pagkatapos, itataas niya ito sa Panginoon bilang handog na itinataas. 13At papatayin niya ang tupa sa Banal na Lugar, doon sa pinagpapatayan ng mga handog sa paglilinis at handog na sinusunog. Ang tupang ito na handog ay napakabanal, at ito ay para sa mga pari, katulad ng handog na pambayad ng kasalanan. 14Pagkatapos, kukuha ang pari ng dugo ng tupang handog na pambayad ng kasalanan at ipapahid sa ibabang bahagi ng kanang tainga ng taong naghandog at sa kanyang kanang hinlalaki sa kamay at paa. 15Kukuha rin ang pari ng langis at magbubuhos sa kanyang kaliwang palad, 16at ilulubog niya sa langis ang mga daliri niya sa kanang kamay at iwiwisik ng pitong beses sa presensya ng Panginoon. 17Ang ibang langis sa kanyang palad ay ipapahid niya sa ibabang bahagi ng kanang tainga at kanang hinlalaki ng kamay at paa ng taong pinahiran niya mismo ng dugo. 18-20Ang natitira pang langis sa palad ng pari ay ipapahid niya sa ulo ng taong iyon, at saka niya ihahandog ang handog sa paglilinis. Pagkatapos nito, papatayin ng pari ang handog na sinusunog at ihahandog niya ito sa altar pati ang handog ng pagpaparangal. Ganito ang gagawin ng pari sa presensya ng Panginoon para matubos ang karumihan ng tao at magiging malinis siya.
21Pero kung mahirap ang tao at hindi niya kayang maghandog ng mga ito, magdala na lang siya ng isang lalaking tupa bilang handog na pambayad sa kanyang kasalanan. Itataas niya ang handog na ito sa Panginoon para matubos siya sa kanyang kasalanan. Magdala rin siya ng dalawang kilo ng magandang klaseng harina na may halong langis bilang handog ng pagpaparangal sa Panginoon. At magdala pa siya ng isang basong langis. 22Magdadala rin siya ng dalawang kalapati o dalawang ibon na batu-bato. Alinman ang kanyang makakayanan sa mga ito, ang isaʼy bilang handog sa paglilinis at ang isa naman ay bilang handog na sinusunog.
23Sa ikawalong araw, ang lahat ng handog na itoʼy dadalhin niya sa presensya ng Panginoon malapit sa may pintuan ng Toldang Tipanan. At ibibigay niya ito sa pari. 24Kukunin ng pari ang tupang ihahandog bilang pambayad ng kasalanan at ang isang basong langis, at itataas niya iyon sa presensya ng Panginoon bilang handog na itinataas. 25Pagkatapos, papatayin niya ang tupa at kukuha siya ng dugo nito at ipapahid sa ibabang bahagi ng kanang tainga ng taong nililinis at sa hinlalaki niya sa kanang kamay at paa. 26Pagkatapos, maglalagay ang pari ng langis sa kanyang kaliwang palad, 27at ilulubog niya sa langis ang mga daliri sa kanang kamay at iwiwisik ng pitong beses sa presensya ng Panginoon. 28Ang ibang langis sa kanyang palad ay ipapahid niya sa ibabang bahagi ng kanang tainga ng taong nililinis at sa hinlalaki nito sa kanang kamay at paa, doon mismo sa pinahiran ng dugo. 29-31Ang natirang langis sa palad ng pari ay ipapahid sa ulo ng tao. Pagkatapos, ihahandog ng pari ang dalawang kalapati o dalawang ibon na batu-bato. Ang isaʼy handog sa paglilinis at ang isaʼy para sa handog na sinusunog. Ihahandog din niya ang handog ng pagpaparangal. Sa pamamagitan ng gagawing ito ng pari sa presensya ng Panginoon, maaalis ang karumihan ng tao. 32Ito ang mga tuntunin tungkol sa paglilinis ng taong may sakit sa balat at kung ano ang dapat niyang gawin kung hindi niya kaya ang handog sa paglilinis.
Ang mga Tuntunin Tungkol sa mga Amag na Kumakalat sa Bahay
33Ito ang sinabi ng Panginoon kina Moises at Aaron 34tungkol sa dapat gawin kung patutubuin ng Panginoon ang mga amag14:34 Ang uri ng amag na ito na tumutubo sa bahay ay hindi karaniwang nakikita sa Pilipinas. Tingnan din ang “footnote” sa 13:2. sa kanilang mga bahay kapag silaʼy nasa Canaan na, ang lugar na ibibigay ng Panginoon sa kanila bilang pag-aari:
35Kung mapuna ng may-ari ng bahay na nagkakaamag ang kanyang bahay, dapat niya itong sabihin sa pari. 36At bago pumasok ang pari sa bahay na iyon, ipag-uutos niyang ilabas lahat ang kagamitan sa loob ng bahay, dahil baka pati iyon ay maibilang na marumi. Pagkatapos, papasok ang pari sa bahay 37at titingnan niya ang amag. Kapag nakita niyang ang dingding ay parang kulay berde o namumula, at parang makapal ang tagos sa dingding,14:37 kulay … dingding: o, kinakain ang loob ng dingding. 38lalabas ang pari sa bahay na iyon at ipapasara niya ang bahay sa loob ng pitong araw. 39Sa ikapitong araw, babalik ang pari at muling titingnan ang amag sa bahay. At kung iyon ay kumalat pa sa ibang bahagi ng dingding, 40ipapatanggal niya ang mga dingding na may amag at ipapatapon sa labas ng bayan, doon sa pinagtatapunan ng mga bagay na itinuturing na marumi. 41At ipababakbak niya ang lahat ng bahagi ng dingding sa loob ng bahay at ang lahat ng binakbak ay ipapatapon din niya sa labas ng bayan, doon sa lugar na pinagtatapunan ng mga bagay na itinuturing na marumi. 42At ipag-uutos niya na palitan ang lahat ng bahagi ng dingding na tinanggal.
43Pero kung pagkatapos nitoʼy muling magkaamag ang bahay, 44pupuntahan niyang muli ang pari at muling ipapasuri ito. Kung ang amag ay kumakalat, ituturing na marumi na naman ang bahay na iyon dahil pabalik-balik ang amag sa bahay. 45Kaya dapat nang gibain ang bahay at ang mga gamit nitoʼy ipatapon sa labas ng bayan, doon sa lugar na pinagtatapunan ng mga bagay na itinuturing na marumi.
46Ang sinumang pumasok sa bahay na iyon na ipinasara ay ituturing na marumi hanggang sa paglubog ng araw. 47At ang sinumang kumain o matulog sa bahay na iyon ay kinakailangang maglaba ng kanyang damit.14:47 Tingnan ang “footnote” sa 11:24-28b.
48Pero kung sa pagsusuri ng pari ay hindi na nagkaamag ang bahay pagkatapos palitan ang mga bahagi ng dingding na may amag, ipapahayag ng pari na malinis na ang bahay dahil wala nang amag. 49At para maituring na malinis ang bahay, kinakailangan ng pari ang dalawang ibon, kahoy na sedro, pulang panali, at halamang isopo. 50Papatayin niya ang isang ibon sa ibabaw ng palayok na may tubig mula sa bukal. 51At kukunin niya ang kahoy na sedro, ang pulang panali, halamang isopo, at ang buhay na ibon. At ilulubog niyang lahat ito sa tubig sa palayok na may dugo ng ibong pinatay. At ang tubig na may dugo ay iwiwisik niya ng pitong beses sa bahay. 52Kaya sa pamamagitan ng dugo ng ibon, tubig na galing sa bukal, buhay na ibon, kahoy na sedro, halamang isopo, at ng pulang panali, malilinis ng pari ang bahay. 53Pagkatapos, pakakawalan niya ang buhay na ibon sa labas ng bayan. Ganito ang paraan na gagawin ng pari para maalis ang karumihan sa bahay at magiging malinis na ito.
54-57Ito ang mga tuntunin tungkol sa sakit sa balat na nakakahawa at kumakati, o namamaga, o may butlig o namumuti, at tungkol sa amag ng damit at amag sa bahay. At sa pamamagitan ng mga tuntuning ito, malalaman ninyo kung alin ang malinis at marumi.
