ご存知の通り、ハンセン病は古くから業病、或いは天刑病などと言われ、人々から恐れられてきました。 As you are all aware, from ancient times, Hansen's disease had been feared as an incurable disease that inflicts people as a curse or a punishment for sins committed in the past life.
今なお、多くのハンセン病患者、回復者が、ハンセン病は業病であると信じ、希望を失いかけています。 There are still many who believe leprosy is a curse, and begin to lose hope.
ハンセン病は最も誤解され、偏見の対象となってきた病気の一つで、古くから業病あるいは天刑病などといわれ、人々から恐れられてきました。

It's used with that meaning in the reverso sentences.

Hmm. The JEs don't mention that. 3 of the 4 Reverso matches use it in the context of leprosy, which hardly relates to past evil deeds.

I think it's just one sense. The "due to evil deeds in one's past life" part is presumably what makes it [sens].
