1 O Plant, thou sprangest up at night, dusky, dark-coloured, black in hue! So, Colourer, re-colour thou these ashy spots, this leprosy.

2 Expel the leprosy, remove from him the spots and ashy hue: let thine own colour come to thee; drive far away the specks of white.

3 Dark is the place of thy repose, dark is the place thou dwellest in: dusky and dark, O Plant, art thou: remove from him each speck and spot.

4 With my prayer to God I have chased away the pallid sign of leprosy, caused by infection, on the skin, sprung from the body, from the bones.
