Leviticus 15
1And the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying,Καὶ ἐλάλησε Κύριος πρὸς Μωυσῆν καὶ Ἀαρὼν, λέγων,
2Speak to the children of Israel, and you shall say to them, Whatever man shall have an issue out of his body, his issue is unclean.λάλησον τοῖς υἱοῖς Ἰσραὴλ, καὶ ἐρεῖς αὐτοῖς, ἀνδρὶ ἀνδρὶ ᾧ ἐὰν γένηται ῥύσις ἐκ τοῦ σώματος αὐτοῦ, ἡ ῥύσις αὐτοῦ ἀκάθαρτός ἐστι.
3And this is the law of his uncleanness; whoever has a gonorrhoea out of his body, this is his uncleanness in him by reason of the issue, by which, his body is affected through the issue: all the days of the issue of his body, by which his body is affected through the issue, there is his uncleanness.Καὶ οὗτος ὁ νόμος τῆς ἀκαθαρσίας αὐτοῦ· ῥέων γόνον ἐκ σώματος αὐτοῦ, ἐκ τῆς ῥύσεως, ἧς συνέστηκε τὸ σῶμα αὐτοῦ διὰ τῆς ῥύσεως, αὕτη ἡ ἀκαθαρσία αὐτοῦ ἐν αὐτῷ· πᾶσαι αἱ ἡμέραι ῥύσεως σώματος αὐτοῦ, ᾗ συνέστηκε τὸ σῶμα αὐτοῦ διὰ τῆς ῥύσεως, ἀκαθαρσία αὐτοῦ ἐστι.
4Every bed on which he that has the issue shall happen to lie, is unclean; and every seat on which he that has the issue may happen to sit, shall be unclean.Πᾶσα κοίτη ἐφʼ ἧς ἂν κοιμηθῇ ἐπʼ αὐτῆς ὁ γονοῤῥυὴς, ἀκάθαρτός ἐστι, καὶ πᾶν σκεῦος ἐφʼ ὃ ἂν καθίσῃ ἐπʼ αὐτὸ ὁ γονοῤῤυὴς, ἀκάθαρτον ἔσται.
5And the man who shall touch his bed, shall wash his garments, and bathe himself in water, and shall be unclean till evening.Καὶ ἄνθρωπος, ὃς ἐὰν ἅψηται τῆς κοίτης αὐτοῦ, πλυνεῖ τὰ ἱμάτια αὐτοῦ, καὶ λούσεται ὕδατι, καὶ ἀκάθαρτος ἔσται ἕως ἑσπέρας.
6And whoever sits on the seat on which he that has the issue may have sat, shall wash his garments, and bathe himself in water, and shall be unclean until evening.Καὶ ὁ καθήμενος ἐπὶ τοῦ σκεύους ἐφʼ ὃ ἂν καθίσῃ ὁ γονοῤῥυὴς, πλυνεῖ τὰ ἱμάτια αὐτοῦ, καὶ λούσεται ὕδατι, καὶ ἀκάθαρτος ἔσται ἕως ἑσπέρας.
7And he that touches the skin of him that has the issue, shall wash his garments and bathe himself in water, and shall be unclean till evening.Καὶ ὁ ἁπτόμενος τοῦ χρωτὸς τοῦ γονοῤῥυοῦς, πλυνεῖ τὰ ἱμάτια, καὶ λούσεται ὕδατι, καὶ ἀκάθαρτος ἔσται ἕως ἑσπέρας.
8And if he that has the issue should spit upon one that is clean, that person shall wash his garments, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until evening.Ἐὰν δὲ προσσιελίσῃ ὁ γονοῤῥυὴς ἐπὶ τὸν καθαρὸν, πλυνεῖ τὰ ἱμάτια αὐτοῦ, καὶ λούσεται ὕδατι, καὶ ἀκάθαρτος ἔσται ἕως ἑσπέρας.
9And every ass's saddle, on which the man with the issue shall have mounted, shall be unclean till evening.Καὶ πᾶν ἐπίσαγμα ὄνου, ἐφʼ ὃ ἂν ἐπιβῇ ἐπʼ αὐτὸ ὁ γονοῤῥυὴς, ἀκάθαρτον ἔσται ἕως ἑσπέρας.
10And every one that touches whatever shall have been under him shall be unclean until evening; and he that takes them up shall wash his garments, and bathe himself in water, and shall be unclean until evening.Καὶ πᾶς ὁ ἁπτόμενος ὅσα ἂν ᾖ ὑποκάτω αὐτοῦ, ἀκάθαρτος ἔσται ἕως ἑσπέρας· καὶ ὁ αἴρων αὐτὰ, πλυνεῖ τὰ ἱμάτια αὐτοῦ, καὶ λούσεται ὕδατι, καὶ ἀκάθαρτος ἔσται ἕως ἑσπέρας.
11And whoever he that has the issue shall touch, if he have not rinsed his hands in water, he shall wash his garments, and bathe his body in water, and shall be unclean until evening.Καὶ ὅσων ἐὰν ἅψηται ὁ γονοῤῥυὴς, καὶ τὰς χεῖρας οὐ νένιπται ὕδατι, πλυνεῖ τὰ ἱμάτια, καὶ λούσεται τὸ σῶμα ὕδατι, καὶ ἀκάθαρτος ἔσται ἕως ἑσπέρας.
12And the earthen vessel which he that has the issue shall happen to touch, shall be broken; and a wooden vessel shall be washed with water, and shall be clean.Καὶ σκεῦος ὀστράκινον οὗ ἂν ἅψηται ὁ γονοῤῥυὴς, συντριβήσεται· καὶ σκεῦος ξύλινον νιφήσεται ὕδατι, καὶ καθαρὸν ἔσται.
13and if he that has the issue should be cleansed of his issue, then shall he number to himself seven days for his purification; and he shall wash his garments, and bathe his body in water, and shall be clean.Ἐὰν δὲ καθαρισθῇ ὁ γονοῤῥυὴς ἐκ τῆς ῥύσεως αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐξαριθμηθήσεται αὐτῷ ἑπτὰ ἡμέρας εἰς τὸν καθαρισμὸν αὐτοῦ, καὶ πλυνεῖ τὰ ἱμάτια αὐτοῦ, καὶ λούσεται τὸ σῶμα ὕδατι, καὶ καθαρὸς ἔσται.
14And on the eighth day he shall take to himself two turtledoves or two young pigeons, and he shall bring them before the Lord to the doors of the tabernacle of witness, and shall give them to the priest.Καὶ τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῇ ὀγδόῃ λήψεται ἑαυτῷ δύο τρυγόνας, ἢ δύο νοσσοὺς περιστερῶν, καὶ οἴσει αὐτὰ ἔναντι Κυρίου ἐπὶ τὰς θύρας τῆς σκηνῆς τοῦ μαρτυρίου, καὶ δώσει αὐτὰ τῷ ἱερεῖ.
15And the priest shall offer them one for a sin-offering, and the other for a whole burnt offering; and the priest shall make atonement for him before the Lord for his issue.Καὶ ποιήσει αὐτὰ ὁ ἱερεὺς μίαν περὶ ἁμαρτίας, καὶ μίαν εἰς ὁλοκαύτωμα· καὶ ἐξιλάσεται περὶ αὐτοῦ ὁ ἱερεὺς ἔναντι Κυρίου ἀπὸ τῆς ῥύσεως αὐτοῦ.
16And the man whose seed of copulation shall happen to go forth from him, shall then wash his whole body, and shall be unclean until evening.Καὶ ἄνθρωπος ᾧ ἂν ἐξέλθῃ ἐξ αὐτοῦ κοίτη σπέρματος, καὶ λούσεται ὕδατι πᾶν τὸ σῶμα αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἀκάθαρτος ἔσται ἕως ἑσπέρας.
17And every garment, and every skin on which there shall be the seed of copulation shall both be washed with water, and be unclean until evening.Καὶ πᾶν ἱμάτιον, καὶ πᾶν δέρμα ἐφʼ ὃ ἂν ᾖ ἐπʼ αὐτὸ κοίτη σπέρματος, καὶ πλυθήσεται ὕδατι, καὶ ἀκάθαρτον ἔσται ἕως ἑσπέρας.
18And a woman, if a man shall lie with her with seed of copulation—they shall both bathe themselves in water and shall be unclean until evening.Καὶ γυνὴ ἐὰν κοιμηθῇ ἀνὴρ μετʼ αὐτῆς κοίτην σπέρματος, καὶ λούσονται ὕδατι, καὶ ἀκάθαρτοι ἔσονται ἕως ἑσπέρας.
19And the woman whoever shall have an issue of blood, when her issue shall be in her body, shall be seven days in her separation; every one that touches her shall be unclean until evening.Καὶ γυνὴ ἥτις ἂν ᾖ ῥέουσα αἵματι, καὶ ἔσται ἡ ῥύσις αὐτῆς ἐν τῷ σώματι αὐτῆς, ἑπτὰ ἡμέρας ἔσται ἐν τῇ ἀφέδρῳ αὐτῆς· πᾶς ὁ ἁπτόμενος αὐτῆς, ἀκάθαρτος ἔσται ἕως ἑσπέρας.
20And every thing whereon she shall lie in her separation, shall be unclean; and whatever she shall sit upon, shall be unclean.Καὶ πᾶν ἐφʼ ὃ ἂν κοιτάζηται ἐπʼ αὐτὸ ἐν τῇ ἀφέδρῳ αὐτῆς, ἀκάθαρτον ἔσται· καὶ πᾶν ἐφʼ ὃ ἂν ἐπικαθίσῃ ἐπʼ αὐτὸ, ἀκάθαρτον ἔσται.
21And whoever shall touch her bed shall wash his garments, and bathe his body in water, and shall be unclean until evening.Καὶ πᾶς ὃς ἂν ἅψηται τῆς κοίτης αὐτῆς, πλυνεῖ τὰ ἱμάτια αὐτοῦ, καὶ λούσεται τὸ σῶμα αὐτοῦ ὕδατι, καὶ ἀκάθαρτος ἔσται ἕως ἑσπέρας.
22and every one that touches any vessel on which she shall sit, shall wash his garments and bathe himself in water, and shall be unclean until evening.Καὶ πᾶς ὁ ἁπτόμενος παντὸς σκεύους οὗ ἐὰν καθίσῃ ἐπʼ αὐτὸ, πλυνεῖ τὰ ἱμάτια αὐτοῦ, καὶ λούσεται ὕδατι, καὶ ἀκάθαρτος ἔσται ἕως ἑσπέρας.
23And whether it be while she is on her bed, or on a seat which she may happen to sit upon when he touches her, he shall be unclean till evening.Ἐὰν δὲ ἐν τῇ κοίτῃ αὐτῆς οὔσης, ἢ ἐπὶ τοῦ σκεύους οὗ ἐὰν καθίσῃ ἐπʼ αὐτῷ ἐν τῷ ἅπτεσθαι αὐτὸν αὐτῆς, ἀκάθαρτος ἔσται ἕως ἑσπέρας.
24And if any one shall lie with her, and her uncleanness be upon him, he shall be unclean seven days; and every bed on which he shall have lain shall be unclean.Ἐὰν δὲ κοίτῃ κοιμηθῇ τις μετʼ αὐτῆς, καὶ γένηται ἡ ἀκαθαρσία αὐτῆς ἐπʼ αὐτῷ, ἀκάθαρτος ἔσται ἑπτὰ ἡμέρας· καὶ πᾶσα κοίτη ἐφʼ ᾗ ἂν κοιμηθῇ ἐπʼ αὐτῇ, ἀκάθαρτος ἔσται.
25And if a woman have an issue of blood many days, not in the time of her separation; if the blood should also flow after her separation, all the days of the issue of her uncleanness shall be as the days of her separation: she shall be unclean.Καὶ γυνὴ ἐὰν ῥέῃ ῥύσει αἵματος ἡμέρας πλείους, οὐκ ἐν καιρῷ τῆς ἀφέδρου αὐτῆς, ἐὰν καὶ ῥέῃ μετὰ τὴν ἄφεδρον αὐτῆς, πᾶσαι αἱ ἡμέραι ῥύσεως ἀκαθαρσίας αὐτῆς, καθάπερ αἱ ἡμέραι τῆς ἀφέδρου αὐτῆς, ἔσται ἀκάθαρτος.
26And every bed on which she shall lie all the days of her flux shall be to her as the bed of her separation, and every seat whereon she shall sit shall be unclean according to the uncleanness of her separation.Καὶ πᾶσα κοίτη ἐφʼ ἧς ἂν κοιμηθῇ ἐπʼ αὐτῆς πάσας τὰς ἡμέρας τῆς ῥύσεως, κατὰ τὴν κοίτην τῆς ἀφέδρου, ἔσται αὐτῇ· καὶ πᾶν σκεῦος ἐφʼ ὃ ἂν καθίσῃ ἐπʼ αὐτὸ, ἀκάθαρτον ἔσται κατὰ τὴν ἀκαθαρσίαν τῆς ἀφέδρου.
27Every one that touches it shall be unclean; and he shall wash his garments, and bathe his body in water, and shall be unclean till evening.Πᾶς ὁ ἁπτόμενος αὐτῆς ἀκάθαρτος ἔσται, καὶ πλυνεῖ τὰ ἱμάτια καὶ λούσεται τὸ σῶμα ὕδατι, καὶ ἀκάθαρτος ἔσται ἕως ἑσπέρας.
28But if she shall be cleansed from her flux, then she shall number to herself seven days, and afterwards she shall be esteemed clean.Ἐὰν δὲ καθαρισθῇ ἀπὸ τῆς ῥύσεως, καὶ ἐξαριθμήσεται αὐτῇ ἑπτὰ ἡμέρας, καὶ μετὰ ταῦτα καθαρισθήσεται.
29And on the eighth day she shall take two turtledoves, or two young pigeons, and shall bring them to the priest, to the door of the tabernacle of witness.Καὶ τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῇ ὀγδόῃ λήψεται αὑτῇ δύο τρυγόνας, ἢ δύο νοσσοὺς περιστερῶν, καὶ οἴσει αὐτὰ πρὸς τὸν ἱερέα ἐπὶ τὴν θύραν τῆς σκηνῆς τοῦ μαρτυρίου.
30And the priest shall offer one for a sin-offering, and the other for a whole burnt offering, and the priest shall make atonement for her before the Lord for her unclean flux.Καὶ ποιήσει ὁ ἱερεὺς τὴν μίαν περὶ ἁμαρτίας, καὶ τὴν μίαν εἰς ὁλοκαύτωμα· καὶ ἐξιλάσεται περὶ αὐτῆς ὁ ἱερεὺς ἔναντι Κυρίου ἀπὸ ῥύσεως ἀκαθαρσίας αὐτῆς.
31And you shall cause the children of Israel to beware of their uncleannesses; so they shall not die for their uncleanness, in polluting my tabernacle that is among them.Καὶ εὐλαβεῖς ποιήσετε τοὺς υἱοὺς Ἰσραὴλ ἀπὸ τῶν ἀκαθαρσιῶν αὐτῶν· καὶ οὐκ ἀποθανοῦνται διὰ τὴν ἀκαθαρσίαν αὐτῶν, ἐν τῷ μιαίνειν αὐτοὺς τὴν σκηνήν μου τὴν ἐν αὐτοῖς.
32This is the law of the man who has an issue, and if one discharge seed of copulation, so that he should be polluted by it.Οὗτος ὁ νόμος τοῦ γονοῤῥυοῦς· καὶ ἐάν τινι ἐξέλθῃ ἐξ αὐτοῦ κοίτη σπέρματος, ὥστε μιανθῆναι ἐν αὐτῇ,
33And this is the law for her that has the issue of blood in her separation, and as to the person who has an issue of seed, in his issue: it is a law for the male and the female, and for the man who shall have lain with her that is set apart.καὶ τῇ αἱμοῤῥοούσῃ ἐν τῇ ἀφέδρῳ αὐτῆς, καὶ ὁ γονοῤῥυὴς ἐν τῇ ῥύσει αὐτοῦ τῷ ἄρσενι ἢ τῇ θηλείᾳ, καὶ τῷ ἀνδρὶ, ὃς ἂν κοιμηθῇ μετὰ ἀποκαθημένης.
