Chapter 14.

Our Papa tok give Moses sey:

"Na dis be di law for person wey get skin disease for di day wey dem go clean am: dem must bring am come meet di priest. Di priest go comot go outside di camp go check am; if di skin disease don heal, di priest must order sey make dem bring two live clean birds, cedar wood, scarlet yarn, and hyssop for di person wey dem dey clean. a a v4 Hyssop na small bushy plant wey dem dey use im branches like natural brush to sprinkle liquid for purification rite. Di priest go command sey make dem kill one bird for inside clay pot wey fresh water dey. E must take di live bird, di cedar wood, di scarlet yarn, and di hyssop, and dip dem togeda wit di live bird for inside di blood of di bird wey dem kill ontop di fresh water. E go sprinkle di blood seven times ontop di person wey dem dey clean from di skin disease, tok sey e don clean, den e go release di live bird make e fly go di open field. b b v7 Dem kill one bird, and di oda one wey dem dip for im blood, dem set am free make e fly comot alive — na picture of di death and di risen life wey Jesus go one day take clean im people.

"Di person wey dem dey clean must wash im cloth, shave all im hair, and baff for water—den e don clean. After dat e fit enta di camp, but e go stay outside im tent for seven days. For di seventh day e must shave all im hair—head, beard, eyebrow—shave all im hair. Den e must wash im cloth and baff im body for water, and e don clean.

"For di eighth day e must take two male lambs wey no get any defect, one year-old ewe lamb wey no get defect, three quarts fine flour wey dem mix wit oil for grain offering, and one cup of oil. Di priest wey dey do di cleansing go present di person wey dem dey clean, togeda wit dis offerings, for front of our Papa for di entrance of di tent of meeting.

"Di priest go take one male lamb and offer am as guilt offering, togeda wit di oil, and e go wave dem as wave offering for front of our Papa. E must kill di lamb for di same place wey dem dey kill di sin offering and di burnt offering, for di holy place—because di guilt offering, just like di sin offering, na di priest own; e holy well well. Di priest go take small blood of di guilt offering and put am ontop di right earlobe of di person wey dem dey clean, ontop im right thumb, and ontop im right big toe. Di priest go take small of di oil and pour am for im own left palm. E must dip im right finger for di oil wey dey im left palm and sprinkle small wit im finger seven times for front of our Papa. Wit di oil wey remain for im palm, di priest go put small ontop di right earlobe of di person wey dem dey make clean, ontop im right thumb, and im right big toe, ontop di blood of di guilt offering. Di priest go put di oil wey remain for im palm ontop di head of di person wey dem make clean, and e go make atonement for am for front of our Papa. Di priest go offer di sin offering and make atonement for di person wey dem make clean from im uncleanness; after dat e go kill di burnt offering. Di priest go offer di burnt offering and di grain offering ontop di altar, make atonement for am, and e go clean.

"But if di person poor and no get money, e go take one male lamb as guilt offering, make dem wave am for atonement for am, togeda wit about two quarts fine flour wey dem mix wit oil, for grain offering, and about one cup of oil, and two turtledoves or two young pigeons—whichever one im hand fit reach, one as sin offering, di oda one as burnt offering.

"For di eighth day e must bring dem for im cleansing come meet di priest, for di entrance of di tent of meeting, for front of our Papa. Di priest go take di lamb of di guilt offering and di log of oil, and e go wave dem as wave offering for front of our Papa. E must kill di lamb of di guilt offering, take small of im blood, and put am ontop di right earlobe, right thumb, and right big toe of di person wey dem dey clean. Di priest go pour small of di oil for im own left palm, and wit im right finger e go sprinkle small oil from im left palm seven times for front of our Papa. Di priest go put oil from im palm ontop di right earlobe of di person wey dem dey make clean, im right thumb, and right big toe, ontop di place wey di blood of di guilt offering dey. Di priest go put di rest of di oil from im palm ontop di head of di person wey dem dey clean, to make atonement for am for front of our Papa. Den e go offer one of di turtledoves or young pigeons, whichever one im hand fit reach. Whichever one im hand fit reach—one as sin offering, di oda one as burnt offering, togeda wit di grain offering. Di priest go make atonement for front of our Papa for di person wey dem make clean.

"Na dis be di law for person wey get skin disease wey im hand no fit reach di offerings for im cleansing."

Mildew for Inside House

Our Papa tok give Moses and Aaron sey:

"Wen una enta di land of Canaan, wey I dey give una as una own, and I put mildew wey dey spread for inside one house for di land wey una go possess, di owner of di house must come tell di priest sey: 'Something wey be like disease don show for my house.' Di priest must order sey make dem empty di house bifor e enta go check di disease, so dat notin wey dey inside go turn unclean; den e fit enta go check di house. E go check di disease, and if e dey di walls of di house—greenish or reddish depressions wey deep pass di surface. Di priest must comot from di house troway im doorway and lock am up for seven days. For di seventh day di priest go come back come check am. If di disease don spread ontop di walls of di house, e must order sey make dem comot di stones wey get di disease and troway dem outside di city, for one unclean place. E must scrape di inside of di house all around, and pour di plaster wey dem scrape comot for outside di city for one unclean place. Dem go take oda stones replace di old ones, and dem go take new plaster cover di house.

"If di infection come back for di house after dem don comot di stones, scrape di house, and plaster am, di priest must enta go check; if di disease don spread for di house, na destructive mildew dey inside di house—e unclean. E must break down di house—stones, timbers, and all di plaster—and carry am comot go outside di city for one unclean place. Anybody wey enta di house wen dem lock am up go unclean sotay evening. Anybody wey lie down or chop for inside di house must wash im cloth.

"If di priest come, check am, and di disease no spread for di house after dem don plaster am, e go tok sey e clean—di disease don heal. To clean di house e go take two birds, togeda wit cedar wood, scarlet yarn, and hyssop, and e go kill one of di birds for inside one clay pot ontop fresh water. E must take di cedar wood, hyssop, scarlet yarn, and di live bird, dip dem for di blood of di bird wey dem kill and for di fresh water, and sprinkle di house seven times. Den e must purify di house wit di blood of di bird, di fresh water, di live bird, di cedar wood, di hyssop, and di scarlet yarn. E go release di live bird outside di city go di open field, make atonement for di house, and e go clean."

Na dis be di law for any skin disease, for itch, for mildew wey dey cloth or house, and for swelling, scab, or bright spot, to teach wen something unclean and wen e clean. Na dis be di law of skin disease and mildew.
