Leviticus 12
1 Then the LORD said to Moses,
Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose se, “Ka kyerɛ Israelfo no se,
2 “Say to the Israelites, ‘A woman who becomes pregnant and gives birth to a son will be unclean for seven days, as she is during the days of her menstruation.
‘Sɛ ɔbea bi wo ɔbabarima a, ne ho ntew nnanson, te sɛ nea ɔkɔ afikyiri a ne ho ntew no ara.
3 And on the eighth day the flesh of the boy’s foreskin is to be circumcised.
Ne nnaawɔtwe so no, ɛsɛ sɛ wotwa abarimaa no twetia.
4 The woman shall continue in purification from her bleeding for thirty-three days. She must not touch anything sacred or go into the sanctuary until the days of her purification are complete.
Na nnafua aduasa abiɛsa a ɛda nʼanim a ɔde retew ne ho no, ɛnsɛ sɛ oso biribiara a ɛyɛ kronkron mu na onni ho kwan sɛ ɔkɔ hyiadan mu nso.
5 If, however, she gives birth to a daughter, the woman will be unclean for two weeks as she is during her menstruation. Then she must continue in purification from her bleeding for sixty-six days.
Sɛ ɔbea bi wo ɔbabea a, ne ho ntew nnaawɔtwe abien, te sɛ nea ɔkɔ afikyiri a ne ho ntew no ara. Afei ɛsɛ sɛ ɔtwɛn nnafua aduosia asia ma ne ho twa.
6 When the days of her purification are complete, whether for a son or for a daughter, she is to bring to the priest at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting a year-old lamb for a burnt offering and a young pigeon or a turtledove for a sin offering.
“‘Sɛ saa ahotew nna yi twa mu a, ɛsɛ sɛ ɔde oguamma a wadi afe bɛbɔ ɔhyew afɔre na ɔde aborɔnoma anaa aturukuku ba bɛbɔ bɔne ho afɔre. Ɛsɛ sɛ ɔde wɔn kɔ Ahyiae Ntamadan no ano kɔma ɔsɔfo no.
7 And the priest will present them before the LORD and make atonement for her; and she shall be ceremonially cleansed from her flow of blood. This is the law for a woman giving birth, whether to a male or to a female.
Na ɔsɔfo no de wɔn bɛma Awurade de ayɛ mpata ama ɛna no; ɛba saa a, ne ho tew bio wɔ nʼawo mu mogyagugu ho. “‘Eyinom ne awo akyi ahyɛde.
8 But if she cannot afford a lamb, she shall bring two turtledoves or two young pigeons, one for a burnt offering and the other for a sin offering. Then the priest will make atonement for her, and she will be clean.’”
Na sɛ ɔyɛ ohiani a ɔrennya oguamma no a, ɛno de, ɛsɛ sɛ ɔde mmorɔnoma abien anaa nturukuku mma abien ba. Wɔde ɔbaako bɛbɔ ɔhyew afɔre na wɔde ɔbaako abɔ bɔne ho afɔre. Ɔsɔfo no bɛfa saa kwan yi so ayɛ mpata ama no, sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a ne ho bɛtew bio.’”
