Cebuano Ang Bible (Pinadayag Version)

 1Ug misulti si Jehova kang Moises ug kang Aaron, nga nagaingon: 2Kong ang tawo adunay hubag sa panit sa iyang unod, kun kugan, kun dagta nga maputi, ug kini mahimong sakit nga sanla sa panit sa iyang unod, nan pagadad-on siya ngadto kang Aaron nga sacerdote, kun sa usa sa mga sacerdote nga iyang mga anak: 3Ug ang sacerdote magahiling sa sakit sa panit sa unod: kong ang balhibo sa sakit naputi, ug kong ang panagway sa sakit labing halalum kay sa panit sa iyang unod; nan kini mao ang sakit nga sanla; ug ang sacerdote magahiling kaniya ug magapahibalo nga siya mahugaw. 4Ug kong ang maputi nga dagta maputi diha sa panit sa iyang unod, ug ang panagway niini anaa gayud lamang sa panit, ug ang wala magputi ang iyang balhibo, nan kadtong may sakit pagalukban sa sacerdote sulod sa pito ka adlaw: 5Ug sa ikapito ka adlaw ang sacerdote magahiling kaniya; ug, ania karon, kong sa iyang paghunahuna ang sakit nagahunong, ug kini wala magalakaw sa panit, nan ang sacerdote magalukob kaniya pag-usab sulod sa pito ka adlaw. 6Ug sa ikapito ka adlaw ang sacerdote magahiling kaniya sa pag-usab; ug, ania karon, kong daw miitum ang sakit, ug nga wala makatakod sa panit, unya ang sacerdote magapahibalo nga siya mahinlo; nga kini kugan lamang ; pagalabhan niya ang iyang mga bisti, ug siya mahinlo. 7Apan kong magatubo ang kugan sa panit, sa human makapakita sa sacerdote aron sa pagpahinlo kaniya, magpakita siya pag-usab sa sacerdote. 8Ug magahiling niini ang sacerdote; ug, ania karon, kong ang kugan magatubo sa panit, nan ang sacerdote magapahibalo nga mahugaw siya: kay kini sanla. 9Kong adunay sakit nga sanla sa usa ka tawo, nan pagadad-on siya ngadto sa sacerdote; 10Ug ang sacerdote magahiling kaniya ; ug, ania karon, kong may hubag nga maputi sa panit ug kana nagpaputi sa balhibo, ug may unod nga buhi ug mapula sa hubag, 11Kana maoy usa ka sanla nga dugay na kaayo sa panit sa iyang unod; ug ang sacerdote magapahibalo nga mahugaw kadto siya, ug siya dili pagalukban niya, kay siya mahugaw. 12Ug kong gumula ang sanla nga nagakalukop sa panit, ug ang sanla nagatabon sa tibook nga panit sa masakiton, gikan sa iyang ulo hangtud sa iyang mga tiil, sumala sa pagtan-aw sa sacerdote; 13Nan ang sacerdote magahiling kaniya , ug, ania karon, kong ang sanla mitabon sa tibook niya nga unod, siya magapahibalo kaniya nga mahinlo kadto nga masakiton: nga mibalik pagputi nga tanan siya, ug siya mahinlo. 14Apan sa adlaw nga magapakita kaniya ang unod nga buhi, mamahugaw siya. 15Ug ang sacerdote magahiling sa unod nga buhi, ug magpahibalo nga mahugaw siya. Mahugaw ang unod nga buhi, nga mao ang sanla. 16O kong ang unod nga buhi magailis, ug magaputi, unya moadto siya sa sacerdote. 17Ug ang sacerdote magahiling kaniya; ug, ania karon, kong ang sakit miputi, ang sacerdote magapahibalo nga mahinlo ang adunay sakait, ug siya mahinlo. 18Ug kong ang unod sa iyang panit, adunay hubag, ug kini mialim na, 19Ug mahitabo nga sa dapit sa hubag may kabang nga maputi nga diyutay nga mapula-pula, igapakita kini sa sacerdote; 20ug ang sacerdote magahiling niini , ug, ania karon, kong ang panagway niini anaa sa ubos sa iyang panit, ug ang iyang balhibo miputi, nan ang sacerdote magapahibalo nga mahugaw siya: kini mao ang sakit nga sanla nga nagagikan sa hubag. 21Ug kong ang sacerdote magahiling niini, ug, ania karon, dili magapakita kaniya ang balhibo nga maputi, ug nga kini wala modulot sa ilalum sa panit, kondili nga maitum-itum lamang : nan ang sacerdote magalukob kaniya sulod sa pito ka adlaw. 22Ug kong kini magalakaw sa panit, nan ang sacerdote magapahibalo nga mahugaw siya: kini maoy usa ka sakit. 23Apan kong ang kabang nga maputi nga anaa sa iyang dapit, wala magadaghan, nan kini kugan sa hubag; ug ang sacerdote magapahibalo nga mahinlo siya. 24O kong ang unod adunay paso sa kalayo sa iyang panit, ug ang unod nga buhi nga napaso adunay kabang nga maputi, mapula-pula kun maputi; 25Nan, ang sacerdote magahiling niini; ug, ania karon, kong ang balhibo mipputi sa pagkakabang, ug ang panagway niana lalum kay sa panit, kana mao ang sanla nga migula sa napasoan; ug ang sacerdote magapahibalo nga mahugaw siya: kini mao ang sakit nga sanla. 26Apan kong ang sacerdote magahiling niini, ug, ania karon, ang balhibo dili magapakita sa kabang nga maputi, dili halalum kay sa panit, kondili nga maitum-itum, nan ang sacerdote magalukob kaniya sulod sa pito ka adlaw: 27Ug sa ikapito ka adlaw ang sacerdote magahiling kaniya: kong kini nagalakaw sa panit, nan ang sacerdote magapahibalo nga mahugaw siya: kini mao ang sakit nga sanla. 28Ug kong ang kabang magapabilin sa iyang dapit, ug wala magalakaw sa panit, kondili nga maitum-itum, kini mao ang hubag sa paso, ang sacerdote magapahibalo nga mahinlo siya: kay kini timaan man sa paso. 29Ug sa diha nga ang usa ka lalake kun babaye may usa ka sakit sa ulo kun sa solang, 30Nan ang sacerdote magahiling sa sakit; ug, ania karon, kong ang panagway niana lalum kay sa panit, ug ang balhibo niya magabulagaw ug diyutay, unya ang sacerdote magapahibalo nga mahugaw siya; kini mao ang pono, mao ang sanla sa ulo kun sa solang. 31Apan kong ang sacerdote magahiling sa sakit sa pono, ug, ania karon, ang panagway daw dili halalum kaayo kay sa panit, wala usab kaniya ing balhibo nga maitum, nan ang sacerdote magalukob sa masakiton sa pono sulod sa pito ka adlaw. 32Ug sa ikapito ka adlaw ang sacerdote magahiling sa sakit; ug, ania karon, kong ang pono daw wala magalakaw, ug niini walay balhibo nga bulagaw, ug ang panagway niini nga pono daw dili labi kalalum kay sa panit, 33Nan siya pagahimunotan nila , apan dili nila pagaagilan ang dapit sa pono, ug ang sacerdote magalukob sa adunay pono, sulod sa pito pa ka adlaw: 34Ug sa ikapito ka adlaw magahiling ang sacerdote sa pono; ug, ania karon, kong ang pono wala magadaghan sa panit, ug ang panagway niana dili magahalalum kay sa panit, nan ang sacerdote magapahibalo nga mahinlo siya, ug pagalabhan niya ang iyang mga bisti, ug mamahinlo siya. 35Apan kong ang pono nagaanam-anam ug lakat sa panit sa human na sa iyang pagkahinlo, 36Nan ang sacerdote magahiling kaniya; ug, ania karon, kong ang pono magadaghan sa panit, ang sacerdote magapangita na sa balhibo nga bulagaw, siya mahugaw. 37Apan kong ginahunahuna niya nga ang pono nagahunong, ug nga miturok kaniya ang balhibo nga maitum, ang pono maayo na, siya mahinlo, ug ang sacerdote magapahibalo nga mahinlo siya. 38Ug kong may usa ka lalake kun babaye, nga may mga kabang nga maputi diha sa panit sa iyang unod, bisan masihag nga maputi nga mga kabang; 39Ang sacerdote magahiling niini ; ug, ania karon, kong ang masihag nga kabang diha sa panit sa ilang unod magapakita nga lubog nga pagkaputi, nan kana , mao ang alap-ap nga migula sa panit; siya mahinlo. 40Ug kong ang buhok sa usa ka lalake mangalarot, nan upaw siya, apan siya mahinlo. 41Ug kong ang buhok dapit sa iyang agtang mangalarot, upawon siya sa atubangan, apan siya mahinlo. 42Apan kong diha sa naupawan kun sa naupawan sa agtang may sakit nga maputi nga mapula-pula, mao kana ang sanla nga migula sa iyang upaw kun sa iyang upawon nga agtang. 43Unya ang sacerdote magahiling kaniya, ug, ania karon, kong magapakita ang hubag sa sakit nga maputi nga mapula-pula, sa iyang naupawan, kun sa iyang naupawan nga agtang, ingon sa panagway sa sanla sa panit sa unod; 44Sanlahon siya, mahugaw siya: ang sacerdote magapahibalo gayud nga mahugaw siya; sa iyang ulo adunay sakit. 45Ug ang sanlahon nga kaniya anaa ang sakit, ang iyang mga bisti pagagision ug ang buhok sa iyang ulo mangadunghay, ug pagatabonan niya ang iyang ngabil nga nahaibabaw, ug magasinggit siya: Mahugaw, mahugaw. 46Sa tibook nga panahon nga ang sakit anaa kaniya, mamahugaw siya; dili mahinlo siya: magapuyo siya nga mag-inusara; sa gawas sa campo atua ang iyang puloy-anan; 47Ug ang bisti usab nga adunay sakit nga sanla, kun sa bisti nga balhibo, kun sa bisti nga lino; 48Kun sa lindog, kun sa hulog nga lino kun sa balhibo; kun sa panit, kun sa bisan unsa nga hinimo sa panit; 49Kong ang sakit malunhaw, kun mapula-pula diha sa bisti kun sa panit, kun sa lindog, kun sa hulog, kun sa bisan unsa nga dapit sa panit; kini mao ang sakit nga sanla, ug igapakita siya ngadto sa sacerdote. 50Ug ang sacerdote magahiling sa sakit, ug pagalukban niya kadtong gitakbuyan sa sakit sulod sa pito ka adlaw. 51Ug sa ikapito ka adlaw pagahilngon niya ang sakit: kong ang sakit nagdaghan diha sa bisti, kun sa lindog, kun sa hulog, kun sa panit, kun sa bisan unsa nga pagagamitan sa panit; nga anaa ang maong lama sa sakit; kay mao ang sanla nga magkukutkut: kini mahugaw. 52Ug pagasunogon niya ang bisti, kun lindog kun hulog nga balhibo, kun lino, kun bisan unsa nga bulohaton sa mga panit nga anaa ang maong lama sa sakit; kay mao ang sanla nga magkukutkut: pagasunogon sa kalayo. 53Ug kong ang sacerdote magahiling, ug, ania karon, dili makita ang lama sa sakit nga naglakaw sa bisti kun sa lindog, kun sa hulog, kun sa bisan unsa nga panit; 54Nan ang sacerdote magasugo nga hugasan nila ang butang nga gitaptan sa lama sa sakit, ug siya pagalukban pag-usab sulod sa pito ka adlaw. 55Ug ang sacerdote magahiling sa tapus na mahugasi ang lama sa sakit; ug, ania karon, kong ang lama sa sakit wala magbalhin sa iyang dagway, ug kini wala magdaghan, nan kini mahugaw; pagasunogon mo kini sa kalayo; kini makutkuton, kong ang iyang pagkangil-ad anaa sa sulod kun sa gawas. 56Apan kong ang sacerdote magahiling, ug, ania karon, ang lama sa sakit maitum-itum, sa tapus na mahugasi, nan pagakuhaon kini gikan sa bisti, kun sa panit, kun sa lindog, kun sa hulog. 57Ug kong makita pa kini diha sa bisti, bisan sa lindog, kun sa hulog kun sa bisan unsa nga bahin sa mga panit, nan kini magaturok pag-usab; pagasunogon mo sa kalayo kadtong gitaptan sa lama sa sakit. 58Ug ang bisti, kun ang lindog, kun ang hulog, kun bisan unsang butanga nga panit, nga pagalabhan mo, kong makuha niini ang lama sa sakit, nan pagalabhan sa ikaduha, ug unya mamahinlo kini. 59Kini mao ang kasugoan sa sakit nga sanla diha sa bisti nga balhibo, kun sa lino, kun sa bisan unsa nga lindog, kun sa hulog, kun sa bisan unsa nga butanga mga panit, aron ipahibalo kini nga mahinlo kun ipahibalo nga mahugaw.


Matthew Henry - Complete Commentary
 1   I. Concerning the plague of leprosy we may observe in general, 1. That it was rather an uncleanness than a disease; or, at least, so the law considered it, and therefore employed not the physicians but the priests about it. Christ is said to cleanse lepers, not to cure them. We do not read of any that died of the leprosy, but it rather buried them alive, by rendering them unfit for conversation with any but such as were infected like themselves. Yet there is a tradition that Pharaoh, who sought to kill Moses, was the first that ever was struck with this disease, and that he died of it. It is said to have begun first in Egypt, whence it spread into Syria. It was very well known to Moses, when he put his own hand into his bosom and took it out leprous. 2. That it was a plague inflicted immediately by the hand of God, and came not from natural causes, as other diseases; and therefore must be managed according to a divine law. Miriam's leprosy, and Gehazi's, and king Uzziah's, were all the punishments of particular sins: and, if generally it was so, no marvel there was so much care taken to distinguish it from a common distemper, that none might be looked upon as lying under this extraordinary token of divine displeasure but those that really were so. 3. That it is a plague not now known in the world; what is commonly called the leprosy is of a quite different nature. This seems to have been reserved as a particular scourge for the sinners of those times and places. The Jews retained the idolatrous customs they had learnt in Egypt, and therefore God justly caused this with some others of the diseases of Egypt to follow them. Yet we read of Naaman the Syrian, who was a leper, 2Kgs 5:1. 4. That there were other breakings-out in the body which did very much resemble the leprosy, but were not it, which might make a man sore and loathsome and yet not ceremonially unclean. Justly are our bodies called vile bodies, which have in them the seeds of so many diseases, by which the lives of so many are made bitter to them. 5. That the judgment of it was referred to the priests. Lepers were looked upon as stigmatized by the justice of God, and therefore it was left to his servants the priests, who might be presumed to know his mark best, to pronounce who were lepers and who were not. All the Jews say, Any priest, though disabled by a blemish to attend the sanctuary, might be a judge of the leprosy, provided the blemish were not in his eye. And he might (they say) take a common person to assist him in the search, but the priest only must pronounce the judgment. 6. That it was a figure of the moral pollution of men's minds by sin, which is the leprosy of the soul, defiling to the conscience, and from which Christ alone can cleanse us; for herein the power of his grace infinitely transcends that of the legal priesthood, that the priest could only convict the leper (for by the law is the knowledge of sin), but Christ can cure the leper, he can take away sin. Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean, which was more than the priests could do, Matt 8:2. Some think that the leprosy signified, not so much sin in general as a state of sin, by which men are separated from God (their spot not being the spot of God's children), and scandalous sin, for which men are to be shut out from the communion of the faithful. It is a work of great importance, but of great difficulty, to judge of our spiritual state: we have all cause to suspect ourselves, being conscious to ourselves of sores and spots, but whether clean or unclean is the question. A man might have a scab (Lev 13:6) and yet be clean: the best have their infirmities; but, as there were certain marks by which to know that it was a leprosy, so there are characters of such as are in the gall of bitterness, and the work of ministers is to declare the judgment of leprosy and to assist those that suspect themselves in the trial of their spiritual state, remitting or retaining sin. And hence the keys of the kingdom of heaven are said to be given to them, because they are to separate between the precious and the vile, and to judge who are fit as clean to partake of the holy things and who as unclean must be debarred from them.
II. Several rules are here laid down by which the judgment of the priest must be governed. 1. If the sore was but skin-deep, it was to be hoped it was not the leprosy, Lev 13:4. But, if it was deeper than the skin, the man must be pronounced unclean, Lev 13:3. The infirmities that consist with grace do not sink deep into the soul, but the mind still serves the law of God, and the inward man delights in it, Roma 7:22, Roma 7:25. But if the matter be really worse than it shows, and the inwards be infected, the case is dangerous. 2. If the sore be at a stay, and do not spread, it is no leprosy, Lev 13:4, Lev 13:5. But if it spread much abroad, and continue to do so after several inspections, the case is bad, Lev 13:7, Lev 13:8. If men do not grow worse, but a stop be put to the course of their sins and their corruptions be checked, it is to be hoped they will grow better; but if sin get ground, and they become worse every day, they are going downhill. 3. If there was proud raw flesh in the rising, the priest needed not to wait any longer, it was certainly a leprosy, Lev 13:10, Lev 13:11. Nor is there any surer indication of the badness of a man's spiritual state than the heart's rising in self-conceit, confidence in the flesh, and resistance of the reproofs of the word and strivings of the Spirit. 4. If the eruption, whatever it was, covered all the skin from head to foot, it was no leprosy (Lev 13:12, Lev 13:13); for it was an evidence that the vitals were sound and strong, and nature hereby helped itself, throwing out what was burdensome and pernicious. There is hope in the small-pox when they come out well: so if men freely confess their sins, and hide them not, there is no danger comparable to theirs that cover their sins. Some gather this from it, that there is more hope of the profane than of hypocrites. The publicans and harlots went into the kingdom of heaven before scribes and Pharisees. In one respect, the sudden breakings-out of passion, though bad enough, are not so dangerous as malice concealed. Others gather this, that, if we judge ourselves, we shall not be judged; if we see and own that there is no health in us, no soundness in our flesh, by reason of sin, we shall find grace in the eyes of the Lord. 5. The priest must take time in making his judgment, and not give it rashly. If the matter looked suspicious, he must shut up the patient seven days, and then seven days more, that his judgment might be according to truth. This teaches all, both ministers and people, not to be hasty in their censures, nor to judge any thing before the time. If some men's sins go before unto judgment, the sins of others follow after, and so men's good works; therefore let nothing be done suddenly, 1Tim 5:22, 1Tim 5:24, 1Tim 5:25. 6. If the person suspected was found to be clean, yet he must wash his clothes (Lev 13:6), because he had been under the suspicion, and there had been in him that which gave ground for the suspicion. Even the prisoner that is acquitted must go down on his knees. We have need to be washed in the blood of Christ from our spots, though they be not leprosy-spots; for who can say, I am pure from sin? though there are those who through grace are innocent from the great transgression.

 18   The priest is here instructed what judgment to make if there was any appearance of a leprosy, either, 1. In an old ulcer, or bile, that has been healed, Lev 13:18, etc. When old sores, that seemed to be cured, break out again, it is to be feared there is a leprosy in them; such is the danger of those who, having escaped the pollutions of the world, are again entangled therein and overcome. Or, 2. In a burn by accident, for this seems to be meant, Lev 13:24, etc. The burning of strife and contention often proves the occasion of the rising up and breaking out of that corruption which witnesses to men's faces that they are unclean. 3. In a scall-head. And in this commonly the judgment turned upon a very small matter. If the hair in the scall was black, it was a sign of soundness; if yellow, it was an indication of a leprosy, Lev 13:30-Lev 13:37. The other rules in these cases are the same with those mentioned before. In reading of these several sorts of ailments, it will be good for us, 1. To lament the calamitous state of human life, which lies exposed to so many grievances. What troops of diseases are we beset with on every side! and they all entered by sin. 2. To give thanks to God if he has never afflicted us with any of these sores: if the constitution is healthful, and the body lively and easy, we are bound to glorify God with our bodies.

 38   We have here,
I. Provisos that neither a freckled skin nor a bald head should be mistaken for a leprosy, Lev 13:38-Lev 13:41. Every deformity must not forthwith be made a ceremonial defilement. Elisha was jeered for his bald head (2Kgs 2:23); but it was the children of Bethel, that knew not the judgments of their God, who turned it to his reproach.
II. A particular brand set upon the leprosy if at any time it did appear in a bald head: The plague is in his head, he is utterly unclean, Lev 13:44. If the leprosy of sin have seized the head, if the judgment be corrupted, and wicked principles which countenance and support wicked practices, be embraced, it is an utter uncleanness, from which few are ever cleansed. Soundness in the faith keeps the leprosy from the head, and saves conscience from being shipwrecked.
III. Directions what must be done with the convicted leper. When the priest, upon mature deliberation, had solemnly pronounced him unclean,
1. He must pronounce himself so, Lev 13:45. He must put himself into the posture of a mourner and cry, Unclean, unclean. The leprosy was not itself a sin, but it was a sad token of God's displeasure and a sore affliction to him that was under it. It was a reproach to his name, put a full stop to his business in the world, cut him off from conversation with his friends and relations, condemned him to banishment till he was cleansed, shut him out from the sanctuary, and was, in effect, the ruin of all the comfort he could have in this world. Heman, it would seem, either was a leper or alludes to the melancholy condition of a leper, Pss 88:8, etc. He must therefore, (1.) Humble himself under the mighty hand of God, not insisting upon his cleanness when the priest had pronounced him unclean, but justifying God and accepting the punishment of his iniquity. He must signify this by rending his clothes, uncovering his head, and covering his upper lip, all tokens of shame and confusion of face, and very significant of that self-loathing and self-abasement which should fill the hearts of penitents, the language of which is self-judging. Thus must we take to ourselves the shame that belongs to us, and with broken hearts call ourselves by our own name, Unclean, unclean - heart unclean, life unclean, unclean by original corruption, unclean by actual transgression - unclean, and therefore worthy to be for ever excluded from communion with God, and all hope of happiness in him. We are all as an unclean thing (Isa 64:6) - unclean, and therefore undone, if infinite mercy do not interpose. (2.) He must give warning to others to take heed of coming near him. Wherever he went, he must cry to those he saw at a distance, I am unclean, unclean, take heed of touching me. Not that the leprosy was catching, but by the touch of a leper ceremonial uncleanness was contracted. Every one therefore was concerned to avoid it; and the leper himself must give notice of the danger. And this was all that the law could do, in that it was weak through the flesh; it taught the leper to cry, Unclean, unclean, but the gospel has put another cry into the lepers' mouths, Luke 17:12, Luke 17:13, where we find ten lepers crying with a loud voice, Jesus, Master, have mercy on us. The law only shows us our disease; the gospel shows us our help in Christ.
2. He must then be shut out of the camp, and afterwards, when they came to Canaan, out of the city, town, or village, where he lived, and dwell alone (Lev 13:46), associating with none but those that were lepers like himself. When king Uzziah became a leper, he was banished from his palace, and dwelt in a separate house, 2Chr 26:21. And see 2Kgs 7:3. This typified the purity which ought to be preserved in the gospel church, by the solemn and authoritative exclusion of scandalous sinners, that hate to be reformed, from the communion of the faithful. Put away from among yourselves that wicked person, 1Cor 5:13.

 47   This is the law concerning the plague of leprosy in a garment, whether linen or woollen. A leprosy in a garment, with discernible indications of it, the colour changed by it, the garment fretted, the nap worn off, and this in some one particular part of the garment, and increasing when it was shut up, and not to be got out by washing is a thing which to us now is altogether unaccountable. The learned confess that it was a sign and a miracle in Israel, an extraordinary punishment inflicted by the divine power, as a token of great displeasure against a person or family. 1. The process was much the same with that concerning a leprous person. The garment suspected to be tainted was not to be burnt immediately, though, it may be, there would have been no great loss of it; for in no case must sentence be given merely upon a surmise, but it must be shown to the priest. If, upon search, it was found that there was a leprous spot (the Jews say no bigger than a bean), it must be burnt, or at least that part of the garment in which the spot was, Lev 13:52, Lev 13:57. If the cause of the suspicion was gone, it must be washed, and then might be used, Lev 13:58. 2. The signification also was much the same, to intimate the great malignity there is in sin: it not only defiles the sinner's conscience, but it brings a stain upon all his employments and enjoyments, all he has and all he does. To those that are defiled and unbelieving is nothing pure, Titus 1:15. And we are taught hereby to hate even the garments spotted with the flesh, Jude 1:23. Those that make their clothes servants to their pride and lust may see them thereby tainted with a leprosy, and doomed to the fire, Isa 3:18-Isa 3:24. But the ornament of the hidden man of the heart is incorruptible, 1Pet 3:4. The robes of righteousness never fret nor are moth-eaten.
