Leviticus 23
1 Then the LORD said to Moses,
Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose sɛ,
2 “Speak to the Israelites and say to them, ‘These are My appointed feasts, the feasts of the LORD that you are to proclaim as sacred assemblies.
“Ma Israelfoɔ nte sɛ, ‘Ɛsɛ sɛ wɔdi Awurade afahyɛ ahodoɔ no mmerɛ a Israelfoɔ nyinaa bɛhyia asom me no.
3 For six days work may be done, but the seventh day is a Sabbath of complete rest, a day of sacred assembly. You must not do any work; wherever you live, it is a Sabbath to the LORD.
“‘Mowɔ nna nsia a mode yɛ adwuma, na ɛda a ɛtɔ so nson no yɛ Homeda a mode home, ɛda a moyɛ nhyiamu kronkron. Ɛnsɛ sɛ moyɛ adwuma biara wɔ baabi a moteɛ. Ɛyɛ Homeda ma Awurade.
4 These are the LORD’s appointed feasts, the sacred assemblies you are to proclaim at their appointed times.
“‘Yeinom ne Awurade apontoɔ, nhyiamu kronkron a ɛsɛ sɛ mobɔ ho dawuro wɔ ɛberɛ a wɔahyɛ:
5 The Passover to the LORD begins at twilight on the fourteenth day of the first month.
Wɔfiri Awurade Twam Afahyɛ no ase wɔ ɔbosome a ɛdi ɛkan no ɛda ɛtɔ so dunan no anwummerɛ.
6 On the fifteenth day of the same month begins the Feast of Unleavened Bread to the LORD. For seven days you must eat unleavened bread.
Awurade Apiti Afahyɛ nso, wɔfiri aseɛ saa ɔbosome no ɛda a ɛtɔ so dunum; na mobɛdi apiti nnanson.
7 On the first day you are to hold a sacred assembly; you are not to do any regular work.
Ɛda a ɛdi saa afahyɛ yi ɛkan no, mobɛyɛ nhyiamu kronkron, na monnyɛ adwuma biara.
8 For seven days you are to present an offering made by fire to the LORD. On the seventh day there shall be a sacred assembly; you must not do any regular work.’”
Nnanson no mu no, mommɔ ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ mma Awurade ɛda biara. Na ɛda a ɛtɔ so nson no, mobɛyɛ nhyiamu kronkron a obiara renyɛ adwuma.’”
9 And the LORD said to Moses,
Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose sɛ,
10 “Speak to the Israelites and say, ‘When you enter the land that I am giving you and you reap its harvest, you are to bring to the priest a sheaf of the firstfruits of your harvest.
“Kasa kyerɛ Israelfoɔ no sɛ, ‘Sɛ moduru asase a mede bɛma mo no so na motwa mo nnɔbaeɛ a, momfa nnɔbaeɛ afiafi no mu baako nkɔma ɔsɔfoɔ.
11 And he shall wave the sheaf before the LORD so that it may be accepted on your behalf; the priest is to wave it on the day after the Sabbath.
Ɔbɛhim no wɔ Awurade anim de akyerɛ sɛ ɔde rema no na Awurade bɛgye sɛ mo akyɛdeɛ.
12 On the day you wave the sheaf, you shall offer a year-old lamb without blemish as a burnt offering to the LORD,
Ɛda no ara, mode odwennini a wadi afe a ɔnnii dɛm bɛbɔ Awurade ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ,
13 along with its grain offering of two-tenths of an ephah of fine flour mixed with oil—an offering made by fire to the LORD, a pleasing aroma—and its drink offering of a quarter hin of wine.
ne nʼaduane afɔrebɔdeɛ a ɛyɛ esiam kilogram mmiɛnsa a wɔde ngo afra. Ɛbɛyɛ ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ a ɛyi hwa dɛɛdɛ ma Awurade. Wɔde nsã lita ɛnan ne fa afɔrebɔdeɛ bɛka ho.
14 You must not eat any bread or roasted or new grain until the very day you have brought this offering to your God. This is to be a permanent statute for the generations to come, wherever you live.
Ɛnsɛ sɛ modi burodo biara, sɛ ɛyɛ aduane a wɔato anaa ɛyɛ foforɔ, kɔsi ɛda a mode saa afɔrebɔdeɛ yi bɛbrɛ mo Onyankopɔn. Yei bɛyɛ ahyɛdeɛ a ɛbɛtena hɔ daa ama awoɔ ntoatoasoɔ a ɛbɛba no wɔ baabiara a mobɛtena.
15 From the day after the Sabbath, the day you brought the sheaf of the wave offering, you are to count off seven full weeks.
“‘Homeda no akyi ɛda a ɛdi ɛkan a wɔmaa atokoɔ afiafi mu baako so him no Awurade anim sɛ afɔrebɔdeɛ no, mobɛfiti aseɛ abubu nnawɔtwe nson.
16 You shall count off fifty days until the day after the seventh Sabbath, and then present an offering of new grain to the LORD.
Monkan adaduonum a ɛkɔsi homeda a ɛtɔ so nson no akyi ɛda koro na momfa atokoɔ foforɔ mmɛbɔ afɔdeɛ mma Awurade.
17 Bring two loaves of bread from your dwellings as a wave offering, each made from two-tenths of an ephah of fine flour, baked with leaven, as the firstfruits to the LORD.
Yei bɛyɛ burodo mmienu a mode bɛfiri mo afie mu bɛba. Na wɔbɛhim no wɔ Awurade anim sɛ afɔrebɔ no. Momfa asikyiresiam lita ɛnan a wɔde mmɔreka afra nto saa burodo yi. Ɛyɛ mo aduane a ɛdi ɛkan afɔrebɔdeɛ a mode rema Awurade.
18 Along with the bread you are to present seven unblemished male lambs a year old, one young bull, and two rams. They will be a burnt offering to the LORD, together with their grain offerings and drink offerings—an offering made by fire, a pleasing aroma to the LORD.
Mode burodo ne nsã bɛka nnwan mma nson a wɔadi afe a ɛdɛm biara nni wɔn ho ne nantwie ba baako ne nnwennini mmienu ho abɔ ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ ama Awurade. Yeinom nyinaa yɛ ogya afɔrebɔdeɛ a ɛsɔ Awurade ani yie.
19 You shall also prepare one male goat as a sin offering and two male lambs a year old as a peace offering.
Mode ɔpapo baako bɛbɔ bɔne afɔdeɛ. Na mode nnwammaa mmienu a wɔn mu biara adi afe no abɔ asomdwoeɛ afɔdeɛ.
20 The priest is to wave the lambs as a wave offering before the LORD, together with the bread of the firstfruits. The bread and the two lambs shall be holy to the LORD for the priest.
Asɔfoɔ no bɛhim saa afɔrebɔdeɛ yi ne burodo mmienu a ɛsi mo mfudeɛ a ɛdi akyire no ananmu no wɔ Awurade anim. Ɛyɛ kronkron ma Awurade na wɔde bɛma asɔfoɔ no sɛ wɔn aduane.
21 On that same day you are to proclaim a sacred assembly, and you must not do any regular work. This is to be a permanent statute wherever you live for the generations to come.
Ɛda no, ɛsɛ sɛ mobɔ nhyiamu kronkron ho dawuro, na monnyɛ adwuma biara. Yei bɛyɛ ahyɛdeɛ a ɛbɛtena hɔ daa ama awoɔ ntoatoasoɔ a ɛbɛba no wɔ baabiara a mobɛtena.
22 When you reap the harvest of your land, do not reap all the way to the edges of your field or gather the gleanings of your harvest. Leave them for the poor and the foreign resident. I am the LORD your God.’”
“‘Sɛ motwa mo mfuo mu nnɔbaeɛ a, monntwa ntu aseɛ nnɔbaeɛ no, na deɛ aporo agu fam no nso, monntase. Monnya mma ahiafoɔ ne ahɔhoɔ a wɔte mo mu a wɔnni asase bi a wɔdidi so no. Mene Awurade mo Onyankopɔn!’”
23 The LORD also said to Moses,
Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose sɛ,
24 “Speak to the Israelites and say, ‘On the first day of the seventh month you are to have a day of rest, a sacred assembly announced by trumpet blasts.
“Ka kyerɛ Israelfoɔ sɛ: ‘Ɔbosome a ɛtɔ so nson no ɛda a ɛdi ɛkan no, ɛsɛ sɛ mohome ɛda no, na moyɛ nhyiamu kronkron na mohyɛn totorobɛnto dendeenden de kae.
25 You must not do any regular work, but you are to present an offering made by fire to the LORD.’”
Saa ɛda no, obiara nni ho ɛkwan sɛ ɔyɛ adwuma, na mmom, mommɔ ogya so afɔdeɛ mma Awurade.’”
26 Again the LORD said to Moses,
Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose sɛ,
27 “The tenth day of this seventh month is the Day of Atonement. You shall hold a sacred assembly and humble yourselves, and present an offering made by fire to the LORD.
“Saa bosome a ɛtɔ so nson yi ɛda a ɛtɔ so edu ne Mpata Ɛda no. Monyɛ nhyiamu kronkron, monni abuada na mommɔ ogya so afɔdeɛ mma Awurade
28 On this day you are not to do any work, for it is the Day of Atonement, when atonement is made for you before the LORD your God.
Monnyɛ adwuma biara saa ɛda no, ɛfiri sɛ, ɛyɛ Mpata Ɛda, ɛberɛ a wɔpata ma mo wɔ Awurade mo Onyankopɔn anim.
29 If anyone does not humble himself on this day, he must be cut off from his people.
Obiara a wanni ɛda no ahonu ne awerɛhoɔ so wɔ ne bɔne ho no, wɔbɛyi no afiri ne nkurɔfoɔ mu.
30 I will destroy from among his people anyone who does any work on this day.
Obiara a ɔbɛyɛ adwuma saa ɛda no, mɛsɛe no.
31 You are not to do any work at all. This is a permanent statute for the generations to come, wherever you live.
Monnyɛ adwuma biara koraa. Yei bɛyɛ ahyɛdeɛ a ɛbɛtena hɔ daa ama awoɔ ntoatoasoɔ a ɛbɛba no, wɔ baabiara a mobɛtena.
32 It will be a Sabbath of complete rest for you, and you shall humble yourselves. From the evening of the ninth day of the month until the following evening you are to keep your Sabbath.”
Ɛyɛ Homeda a wɔde home ma mo. Ɛsɛ sɛ mobrɛ mo kra ase. Ɛfiri ɛda a ɛtɔ so nkron kɔsi ɛda edu no anwummerɛ no, ɛsɛ sɛ modi mo Homeda.”
33 And the LORD said to Moses,
Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose sɛ,
34 “Speak to the Israelites and say, ‘On the fifteenth day of the seventh month the Feast of Tabernacles to the LORD begins, and it continues for seven days.
“Ka kyerɛ Israelfoɔ sɛ, ‘Bosome a ɛtɔ so nson no ɛda a ɛtɔ so dunum no, wɔnhyɛ Awurade Asese Afahyɛ no ase, na mode nnanson na ɛbɛdi.
35 On the first day there shall be a sacred assembly. You must not do any regular work.
Ɛda a ɛdi ɛkan no yɛ nhyiamu kronkron ɛda; monnyɛ adwuma biara.
36 For seven days you are to present an offering made by fire to the LORD. On the eighth day you are to hold a sacred assembly and present an offering made by fire to the LORD. It is a solemn assembly; you must not do any regular work.
Ɛda biara wɔ nnanson no mu, ɛsɛ sɛ mobɔ ogya so afɔdeɛ ma Awurade. Ɛda a ɛtɔ so nwɔtwe no, mobɛyɛ nhyiamu kronkron na moabɔ ogya so afɔdeɛ ama Awurade. Ɛyɛ nhyiamu a ɛtwa toɔ. Monnyɛ adwuma biara.
37 These are the LORD’s appointed feasts, which you are to proclaim as sacred assemblies for presenting offerings by fire to the LORD—burnt offerings and grain offerings, sacrifices and drink offerings, each on its designated day.
“‘Yeinom ne afahyɛ ahodoɔ a Awurade ahyehyɛ sɛ mommɔ ho dawuro sɛ ɛyɛ nhyiamu kronkron a wɔde afɔrebɔdeɛ a wɔhye no ogya so ma Awurade no ba: ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ ne aduane afɔdeɛ, afɔrebɔdeɛ ahodoɔ ne nsã afɔrebɔdeɛ a ɛho hia ɛda biara.
38 These offerings are in addition to the offerings for the LORD’s Sabbaths, and in addition to your gifts, to all your vow offerings, and to all the freewill offerings you give to the LORD.
Monni saa afahyɛ yi nka Awurade Homeda no ho. Na mode saa afɔrebɔdeɛ nso bɛka mo ankasa ayɛyɛdeɛ, ɛbɔ a moahyɛ ne deɛ mofiri mo pɛ mu de ma Awurade ho.
39 On the fifteenth day of the seventh month, after you have gathered the produce of the land, you are to celebrate a feast to the LORD for seven days. There shall be complete rest on the first day and also on the eighth day.
“‘Enti ɛfiri bosome a ɛtɔ so nson no ɛda a ɔtɔ so dunum no a moatwa asase no so nnɔbaeɛ no, momfa nnanson nni afahyɛ mma Awurade. Ɛda a ɛdi ɛkan ne deɛ ɛtɔ so nnwɔtwe yɛ ahomegyeɛ nna.
40 On the first day you are to gather the fruit of majestic trees, the branches of palm trees, and the boughs of leafy trees and of willows of the brook. And you are to rejoice before the LORD your God for seven days.
Ɛda a ɛdi ɛkan no, montwitwa nnuaba mman a aba wɔ so, ne mmerɛnkɛnsono ne mman a nhahan wɔ so na momfa mmɔ asese na momma mo ani nnye wɔ mo Awurade Onyankopɔn anim nnanson.
41 You are to celebrate this as a feast to the LORD for seven days each year. This is a permanent statute for the generations to come; you are to celebrate it in the seventh month.
Ɛsɛ sɛ saa afe biara mu nnanson adidie mmara yi tena hɔ daa firi awoɔ ntoatoasoɔ so kɔsi awoɔ ntoatoasoɔ so.
42 You are to dwell in booths for seven days. All the native-born of Israel must dwell in booths,
Saa nnanson no mu, mo a moyɛ Israelfoɔ mma no, ɛsɛ sɛ motena asese no ase.
43 so that your descendants may know that I made the Israelites dwell in booths when I brought them out of the land of Egypt. I am the LORD your God.’”
Nkyerɛaseɛ a ɛwɔ mu ara ne sɛ, ɛkae Israelfoɔ no firi awoɔ ntoatoasoɔ so kɔsi awoɔ ntoatoasoɔ so sɛ, me na megyee mo firii Misraim ma mobɛtenaa asese ase. Mene Awurade mo Onyankopɔn.’”
44 So Moses announced to the Israelites the appointed feasts of the LORD.
Yeinom ne Awurade afahyɛ ahodoɔ a wahyehyɛ a Mose ka kyerɛɛ Israelfoɔ no. Enti, Mose kyerɛɛ afahyɛ ahodoɔ a Israelfoɔ no bɛbɔ ama Awurade.
