< Numbers 15 >
1 And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,
Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose se,
2 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye are come into the land of your habitations, which I give unto you,
“Ka kyerɛ Israelfo no se, ‘Sɛ mokɔtena asase a mede rema mo no so
3 and will make an offering by fire unto Jehovah, a burnt-offering, or a sacrifice, to accomplish a vow, or as a freewill-offering, or in your set feasts, to make a sweet savor unto Jehovah, of the herd, or of the flock;
na mopɛ sɛ mobɔ ɔhyew afɔre anaa afɔre biara a wɔbɔ a eyi hua a ɛsɔ Awurade ani a, ɛsɛ sɛ afɔrebɔde no yɛ aboa a ofi mo nguankuw anaa nantwibuw mu. Sɛ ɛyɛ ɔhyew afɔre, anaa afɔrebɔ a wɔde hyɛ bɔ, anaa afɔrebɔ a efi ɔpɛ mu, anaa afɔrebɔ a wɔbɔ no afirihyia mu nnapɔnna bi mu no a, ɛsɛ sɛ wɔde aduan afɔrebɔde ka ho.
4 then shall he that offereth his oblation offer unto Jehovah a meal-offering of a tenth part [of an ephah] of fine flour mingled with the fourth part of a hin of oil:
Nea ɔde ba no, ɛsɛ sɛ ɔde aduan afɔrebɔde a ɛyɛ esiam muhumuhu kilogram abien a wɔde ngo lita baako afra ka ho ma Awurade.
5 and wine for the drink-offering, the fourth part of a hin, shalt thou prepare with the burnt-offering, or for the sacrifice, for each lamb.
Oguamma biara a wɔde bɔ ɔhyew afɔre no, ɛsɛ sɛ wɔde nsa afɔrebɔde a ɛyɛ bobesa lita baako ka ho.
6 Or for a ram, thou shalt prepare for a meal-offering two tenth parts [of an ephah] of fine flour mingled with the third part of a hin of oil:
“‘Sɛ odwennini na wode rebɔ afɔre a, fa esiam muhumuhu lita abiɛsa fra ngo lita baako,
7 and for the drink-offering thou shalt offer the third part of a hin of wine, of a sweet savor unto Jehovah.
ne bobesa lita baako sɛ ɔnom afɔrebɔde. Mommɔ mma enyi hua a ɛbɛsɔ Awurade ani.
8 And when thou preparest a bullock for a burnt-offering, or for a sacrifice, to accomplish a vow, or for peace-offerings unto Jehovah;
“‘Sɛ wosiesie nantwi ba ma ɔhyew afɔre anaa afɔrebɔde de hyɛ bɔ sononko bi anaa ayɔnkofa asikresiam afɔre a worebɔ ama Awurade a,
9 then shall he offer with the bullock a meal-offering of three tenth parts [of an ephah] of fine flour mingled with half a hin of oil:
fa atoko afɔrebɔde a ɛyɛ asikresiam a wɔayam no muhumuhu lita asia ne fa ne ngo lita abien ka nantwi no ho
10 and thou shalt offer for the drink-offering half a hin of wine, for an offering made by fire, of a sweet savor unto Jehovah.
a bobesa lita abien ka ho sɛ ɔnom afɔrebɔde. Eyi bɛyɛ aduan afɔrebɔ a ebeyi hua asɔ Awurade ani.
11 Thus shall it be done for each bullock, or for each ram, or for each of the he-lambs, or of the kids.
Ɛsɛ sɛ wɔfa saa kwan yi so siesie nantwi, odwennini, oguamma anaa abirekyi ba a wɔde bɔ afɔre no.
12 According to the number that ye shall prepare, so shall ye do to every one according to their number.
Afɔrebɔde biara no, ɛsɛ sɛ mofa saa ɔkwan yi so siesie no.
13 All that are home-born shall do these things after this manner, in offering an offering made by fire, of a sweet savor unto Jehovah.
“‘Ɛsɛ sɛ Israelni biara fa saa ɔkwan yi so siesie ne aduan afɔrebɔ a eyi hua na ɛsɔ Awurade ani na ɔde ba.
14 And if a stranger sojourn with you, or whosoever may be among you throughout your generations, and will offer an offering made by fire, of a sweet savor unto Jehovah; as ye do, so he shall do.
Na sɛ ahɔho a wɔte mo mu no pɛ sɛ wɔbɔ ɔhyew afɔre ma eyi hua a ɛsɔ Awurade ani a, ɛsɛ sɛ wɔfa saa ɔkwan koro no ara so wɔ awo ntoatoaso a ɛbɛba no nyinaa mu.
15 For the assembly, there shall be one statute for you, and for the stranger that sojourneth [with you], a statute for ever throughout your generations: as ye are, so shall the sojourner be before Jehovah.
Mmara no wɔ hɔ ma mo nyinaa; ɔmanfo ne ahɔho; na ɛyɛ nokware a etim hɔ daa de kosi awo ntoatoaso a ɛbɛba no mu. Mo ne ahɔho nyinaa yɛ pɛ wɔ Awurade anim.
16 One law and one ordinance shall be for you, and for the stranger that sojourneth with you.
Mmara baako na ɛwɔ hɔ ma mo ne ahɔho a wɔtete mo mu no nyinaa.’”
17 And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,
Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose se,
18 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye come into the land whither I bring you,
“Kasa kyerɛ Israelfo no se: ‘Sɛ mudu asase a mede mo rekɔ so no so
19 then it shall be, that, when ye eat of the bread of the land, ye shall offer up a heave-offering unto Jehovah.
na mudi asase no so aduan a, momfa bi mmɔ afɔre mma Awurade.
20 Of the first of your dough ye shall offer up a cake for a heave-offering: as the heave-offering of the threshing-floor, so shall ye heave it.
Atoko a mobɛyam a edi kan no, momfa nto ɔfam nto nkyɛn sɛ akyɛde sɛnea moyɛ atoko otwakan no wɔ awiporowbea no.
21 Of the first of your dough ye shall give unto Jehovah a heave-offering throughout your generations.
Awo ntoatoaso a ɛbɛba no nyinaa mu no, ɛsɛ sɛ mode saa afɔre a efi mo aduan a edi kan a moanya mu yi ma Awurade.
22 And when ye shall err, and not observe all these commandments, which Jehovah hath spoken unto Moses,
“‘Sɛ mo, sɛ nnipakuw, anhyɛ da na mubu saa mmara a Awurade nam Mose so de ama mo yi so,
23 even all that Jehovah hath commanded you by Moses, from the day that Jehovah gave commandment, and onward throughout your generations;
mmara ahorow a Awurade nam ne so de ama mo yi so, efi da a Awurade de maa mo de fa awo ntoatoaso a ɛbɛba no nyinaa mu,
24 then it shall be, if it be done unwittingly, without the knowledge of the congregation, that all the congregation shall offer one young bullock for a burnt-offering, for a sweet savor unto Jehovah, with the meal-offering thereof, and the drink-offering thereof, according to the ordinance, and one he-goat for a sin-offering.
na sɛ wɔnam awerɛfiri so fom a nnipa no nyinaa nnim a, ɛsɛ sɛ ɔman no nyinaa de aduan afɔrebɔde ne ɔnom afɔrebɔde ne ɔpapo a wɔde no bɛbɔ bɔne ho afɔre ka ho.
25 And the priest shall make atonement for all the congregation of the children of Israel, and they shall be forgiven; for it was an error, and they have brought their oblation, an offering made by fire unto Jehovah, and their sin-offering before Jehovah, for their error:
Na ɛsɛ sɛ ɔsɔfo no yɛ mpata ma Israelfo nyinaa na wɔde wɔn bɔne akyɛ wɔn; efisɛ, ɛyɛ mfomso, na wɔnam ɔhyew afɔrebɔ so abɔ afɔre wɔ Awurade anim a wɔn bɔne afɔrebɔde ka ho.
26 and all the congregation of the children of Israel shall be forgiven, and the stranger that sojourneth among them; for in respect of all the people it was done unwittingly.
Wɔde nnipa no nyinaa a ahɔho a wɔte wɔn mu ka ho no bɔne bɛkyɛ wɔn, efisɛ ɔmanfo no nyinaa na wɔyɛɛ mfomso a wɔanhyɛ da; na wɔde akyɛ wɔn nyinaa.
27 And if one person sin unwittingly, then he shall offer a she-goat a year old for a sin-offering.
“‘Nanso sɛ onipa baako bi yɛ mfomso awerɛfiri mu a, ɛsɛ sɛ ɔde abirekyibere ba a wadi afe bɛbɔ bɔne ho afɔre.
28 And the priest shall make atonement for the soul that erreth, when he sinneth unwittingly, before Jehovah, to make atonement for him; and he shall be forgiven.
Ɛsɛ sɛ ɔsɔfo no yɛ mpata ma nea ɔfom no wɔ Awurade anim na wɔde ne bɔne akyɛ no.
29 Ye shall have one law for him that doeth aught unwittingly, for him that is home-born among the children of Israel, and for the stranger that sojourneth among them.
Saa mmara yi wɔ hɔ ma Israelfo ne ananafo a wɔte mo mu no nyinaa.
30 But the soul that doeth aught with a high hand, whether he be home-born or a sojourner, the same blasphemeth Jehovah; and that soul shall be cut off from among his people.
“‘Na sɛ obi boa pa yɛ mfomso a, sɛ ɔyɛ Israelni anaa ɔnanani no, ogu Awurade din ho fi, enti ɛsɛ sɛ woyi no fi Israelfo no mu.
31 Because he hath despised the word of Jehovah, and hath broken his commandment, that soul shall utterly be cut off; his iniquity shall be upon him.
Mpɛn dodow a wabu Awurade asɛm animtiaa na wahyɛ da abu Awurade mmara so no, ɛsɛ sɛ woyi no fi Israelfo no mu; na ne bɔne gu ne ti so.’”
32 And while the children of Israel were in the wilderness, they found a man gathering sticks upon the sabbath day.
Bere a Israelfo no wɔ sare so no, wɔkyeree wɔn mu baako sɛ ɔrebubu mmabaa homeda.
33 And they that found him gathering sticks brought him unto Moses and Aaron, and unto all the congregation.
Wɔn a wɔkyeree no no de no kɔɔ Mose ne Aaron ne atemmufo no anim,
34 And they put him in ward, because it had not been declared what should be done to him.
na wɔde no too afiase, efisɛ na wonhu ɔkwan pɔtee a ɛsɛ sɛ wɔde no fa so.
35 And Jehovah said unto Moses, The man shall surely be put to death: all the congregation shall stone him with stones without the camp.
Afei, Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose se, “Ɛsɛ sɛ wokum saa onipa no. Nnipa no nyinaa nsiw no abo wɔ atenae no akyi baabi.”
36 And all the congregation brought him without the camp, and stoned him to death with stones; as Jehovah commanded Moses.
Enti wɔde no kɔɔ atenae no akyi baabi kosiw no abo sɛnea Awurade hyɛɛ Mose no.
37 And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,
Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose se,
38 Speak unto the children of Israel, and bid them that they make them fringes in the borders of their garments throughout their generations, and that they put upon the fringe of each border a cord of blue:
“Kasa kyerɛ Israelfo no se: Awo ntoatoaso nyinaa mu no, momma biribi nsensɛn mo ntade ano na momfa hama tuntum nkyekyere sɛ nkae ade ntetare ntade no ano.
39 and it shall be unto you for a fringe, that ye may look upon it, and remember all the commandments of Jehovah, and do them; and that ye follow not after your own heart and your own eyes, after which ye use to play the harlot;
Saa mmara yi botae ne sɛ, bere biara a mubehu saa ade yi no, mobɛkae Awurade mmara a wɔahyɛ mo no, na moadi nʼapɛde so, na moamfa mo ankasa mo akwan sɛnea na moyɛ de som anyame afoforo no.
40 that ye may remember and do all my commandments, and be holy unto your God.
Ɛbɛkae mo ama moadi me mmara nyinaa so na wɔbɛtew mo ho ama mo Nyankopɔn.
41 I am Jehovah your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, to be your God: I am Jehovah your God.
Mene Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn a mede mo fi Misraim asase so bae sɛ mɛyɛ mo Nyankopɔn. Mene Awurade mo Nyankopɔn no.”
