Leviticus 4
1 Then the LORD said to Moses,
Afei Awurade hyɛɛ mmara foforɔ maa Mose sɛ:
2 “Tell the Israelites to do as follows with one who sins unintentionally against any of the LORD’s commandments and does what is forbidden by them:
“Ka kyerɛ Israelfoɔ sɛ, ‘saa mmara yi na ɛwɔ hɔ ma obiara a wanhyɛ da na ɔbɛbu Awurade mmara no bi so.
3 If the anointed priest sins, bringing guilt on the people, he must bring to the LORD a young bull without blemish as a sin offering for the sin he has committed.
“‘Sɛ ɔsɔfoɔ bi anhyɛ da na ɔfom mmara bi na ɛnam so de afɔbuo ba nnipa no so a, ɛsɛ sɛ ɔde nantwinini ba a ɔnnii dɛm bɔ bɔne ho afɔdeɛ de ma Awurade.
4 He must bring the bull to the entrance to the Tent of Meeting before the LORD, lay his hand on the bull’s head, and slaughter it before the LORD.
Ɛsɛ sɛ ɔde aboa no ba Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no ɛpono ano na ɔde ne nsa gu nʼapampam na ɔkum no wɔ hɔ wɔ Awurade anim.
5 Then the anointed priest shall take some of the bull’s blood and bring it into the Tent of Meeting.
Ɔsɔfoɔ no de aboa no mogya bɛkɔ Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no mu.
6 The priest is to dip his finger in the blood and sprinkle some of it seven times before the LORD, in front of the veil of the sanctuary.
Ɔde ne nsateaa baako bɛbɔ mogya no mu apete no mprɛnson wɔ Awurade anim wɔ ntoma a ɛsɛn kronkron mu kronkron no anim.
7 The priest must then put some of the blood on the horns of the altar of fragrant incense that is before the LORD in the Tent of Meeting. And he is to pour out the rest of the bull’s blood at the base of the altar of burnt offering at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting.
Afei, ɔsɔfoɔ no de mogya no bi bɛgu aduhwam no toa a ɛsi afɔrebukyia no so no wɔ Awurade anim wɔ Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no mu; mogya no a ɛbɛka no, wɔbɛhwie agu afɔrebukyia no ase de abɔ ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ wɔ Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no kwan ano.
8 Then he shall remove all the fat from the bull of the sin offering—the fat that covers the entrails, all the fat that is on them,
Afei ɔbɛtete sradeɛ a ɛwɔ ne nsono no ho nyinaa,
9 both kidneys with the fat on them near the loins, and the lobe of the liver, which he is to remove with the kidneys—
ne sawa mmienu no ne sisia sradeɛ ne ne berɛboɔ kotokuo,
10 just as the fat is removed from the ox of the peace offering. Then the priest shall burn them on the altar of burnt offering.
na wahye no wɔ ɔhyeɛ afɔrebukyia no so te sɛ nantwinini anaa nantwibereɛ a wɔde no bɔ asomdwoeɛ afɔdeɛ no pɛ.
11 But the hide of the bull and all its flesh, with its head and legs and its entrails and dung—
Nanso nantwie ba no ho nneɛma a ɛbɛka a ɛyɛ ne nhoma, ne nam, ne ti, ne nan, nʼayamdeɛ, ne ne nsono no deɛ,
12 all the rest of the bull—he must take outside the camp to a ceremonially clean place where the ashes are poured out, and there he must burn it on a wood fire on the ash heap.
wɔmfa nkɔ afahyɛbea bi a ɛhɔ te wɔ akyiri baabi a wɔde nsõ firi afɔrebukyia no so kɔ hɔ kɔhye no nnyensin so no.
13 Now if the whole congregation of Israel strays unintentionally and the matter escapes the notice of the assembly so that they violate any of the LORD’s commandments and incur guilt by doing what is forbidden,
“‘Sɛ Israelfoɔ nyinaa yɛ bɔne a ɛtia Awurade, na sɛ ɛnyɛ boapa yɛ a, nnipa no nyinaa bɛdi ho fɔ.
14 when they become aware of the sin they have committed, then the assembly must bring a young bull as a sin offering and present it before the Tent of Meeting.
Na sɛ wɔhunu wɔn bɔne a, wɔde nantwie ba bɛba abɛbɔ bɔne ho afɔdeɛ wɔ Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no mu.
15 The elders of the congregation are to lay their hands on the bull’s head before the LORD, and it shall be slaughtered before the LORD.
Sɛ wɔrebɔ saa afɔdeɛ no a, ɔman no mu mpanimfoɔ de wɔn nsa bɛgu aboa no apampam na wɔakum no wɔ Awurade anim.
16 Then the anointed priest is to bring some of the bull’s blood into the Tent of Meeting,
Na ɔsɔfoɔ no de ne mogya aba Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no mu,
17 and he is to dip his finger in the blood and sprinkle it seven times before the LORD in front of the veil.
na ɔde ne nsateaa baako abɔ mogya no mu apete no mprɛnson wɔ Awurade ne ntoma a ɛtwa ɛdan no mu no anim.
18 He is also to put some of the blood on the horns of the altar that is before the LORD in the Tent of Meeting, and he must pour out the rest of the blood at the base of the altar of burnt offering at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting.
Ɔde mogya bɛgu mmɛn a ɛtuatua afɔrebukyia no ho no so wɔ Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no mu wɔ Awurade anim. Afei ɔbɛhwie mogya a aka wɔ ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ no afɔrebukyia no ase no agu wɔ Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no kwan ano.
19 And he is to remove all the fat from it and burn it on the altar.
Sradeɛ a ɛwɔ aboa no mu nyinaa, ɛsɛ sɛ wɔyi na wɔhye no wɔ afɔrebukyia no so.
20 He shall offer this bull just as he did the bull for the sin offering; in this way the priest will make atonement on their behalf, and they will be forgiven.
Ɔbɛfa ɛkwan a wɔfa so bɔ bɔne ho afɔdeɛ no so pɛpɛɛpɛ. Yei bɛma ɔsɔfoɔ no abɛyɛ mpatadeɛ ama ɔman no na wɔde obiara bɔne bɛkyɛ no.
21 Then he is to take the bull outside the camp and burn it, just as he burned the first bull. It is the sin offering for the assembly.
Afei asɔfoɔ no bɛtwe nantwinini ba no de no akɔ beaeɛ foforɔ bi so akɔhye no wɔ hɔ te sɛ deɛ ɔrebɔ ɔbaakofoɔ bɔne ho afɔdeɛ no. Nanso yei deɛ, ɛyɛ ɔman mu no nyinaa afɔrebɔdeɛ.
22 When a leader sins unintentionally and does what is prohibited by any of the commandments of the LORD his God, he incurs guilt.
“‘Sɛ mpanimfoɔ no bi yɛ bɔne a ɔnnim sɛ wafom Awurade Onyankopɔn mmara no baako
23 When he becomes aware of the sin he has committed, he must bring an unblemished male goat as his offering.
na wɔma no te ne ho ase a, ɛsɛ sɛ ɔde ɔpapo a ne ho nni dɛm ba sɛ nʼafɔrebɔdeɛ.
24 He is to lay his hand on the head of the goat and slaughter it at the place where the burnt offering is slaughtered before the LORD. It is a sin offering.
Ɔde ne nsa bɛgu aboa no apampam na wakum no wɔ beaeɛ a wɔkum ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ mmoa no de ama Awurade no. Yei yɛ ne bɔne ho afɔrebɔdeɛ.
25 Then the priest is to take some of the blood of the sin offering with his finger, put it on the horns of the altar of burnt offering, and pour out the rest of the blood at the base of the altar.
Afei, ɔsɔfoɔ no de ne nsateaa baako bɛbɔ afɔrebɔdeɛ mogya no mu na ɔde afɔre afɔrebukyia a wɔbɔ ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ wɔ so no mmɛn no ho; na afei wɔahwie mogya no nkaeɛ agu afɔrebukyia no ase.
26 He must burn all its fat on the altar, like the fat of the peace offerings; thus the priest will make atonement for that man’s sin, and he will be forgiven.
Wɔbɛhye sradeɛ no nyinaa wɔ afɔrebukyia no so te sɛ deɛ wɔhye asomdwoeɛ afɔdeɛ sradeɛ no ara pɛ; ɛkyerɛ sɛ, ɔsɔfoɔ no nam saa afɔrebɔ yi so bɛpata ama ɔpanin ko no wɔ ne bɔne no ho na wɔde ne bɔne no bɛkyɛ no.
27 And if one of the common people sins unintentionally and does what is prohibited by any of the LORD’s commandments, he incurs guilt.
“‘Sɛ ɔpapahwekwaa bi yɛ bɔne a ɔnnim sɛ wafom a, ɔdi ho fɔ.
28 When he becomes aware of the sin he has committed, he must bring an unblemished female goat as his offering for that sin.
Nanso ɔnya te ne ho ase ara pɛ a, ɛsɛ sɛ ɔde abirekyibereɛ a ne ho nni dɛm ba ma wɔde pata ne bɔne no.
29 He is to lay his hand on the head of the sin offering and slaughter it at the place of the burnt offering.
Ɔde no bɛba beaeɛ a wɔde mmoa a wɔde wɔn ba ma wɔkum wɔn de wɔn bɔ ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ hɔ no, na ɔde ne nsa ato bɔne ho afɔrebɔdeɛ no apampam na wakum no.
30 Then the priest is to take some of its blood with his finger, put it on the horns of the altar of burnt offering, and pour out the rest of the blood at the base of the altar.
Na ɔsɔfoɔ no de mogya no bi afɔre ne nsateaa baako ho na ɔde afɔre ɔhyeɛ afɔrebukyia mmɛn no ho. Afei, ɔsɔfoɔ no bɛhwie mogya no nkaeɛ no agu afɔrebukyia no ase.
31 Then he is to remove all the fat, just as it is removed from the peace offering, and the priest is to burn it on the altar as a pleasing aroma to the LORD. In this way the priest will make atonement for him, and he will be forgiven.
Wɔbɛyi sradeɛ no nyinaa afiri mu te sɛ deɛ wɔfa bɔ asomdwoeɛ afɔdeɛ no ara. Na ɔsɔfoɔ no bɛhye no wɔ afɔrebukyia no so. Na Awurade ani bɛsɔ. Ɛkyerɛ sɛ, ɔsɔfoɔ no nam saa afɔrebɔ yi so bɛpata ama saa onipa no na wɔde ne bɔne bɛkyɛ no.
32 If, however, he brings a lamb as a sin offering, he must bring an unblemished female.
“‘Na sɛ ɔpɛ sɛ ɔde odwammaa bɛbɔ ne bɔne ho afɔdeɛ nso a, ɛsɛ sɛ ɔyɛ ɔbereɛ a ɛdɛm biara nni ne ho.
33 And he is to lay his hand on the head of the sin offering and slaughter it as a sin offering at the place where the burnt offering is slaughtered.
Ɔde no bɛba beaeɛ a wɔde mmoa a wɔde wɔn ba ma wɔkum wɔn de wɔn bɔ ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ hɔ no, na ɔde ne nsa ato bɔne no afɔrebɔdeɛ no apampam na wakum no sɛ bɔne ho afɔrebɔdeɛ.
34 Then the priest is to take some of the blood of the sin offering with his finger, put it on the horns of the altar of burnt offering, and pour out the rest of its blood at the base of the altar.
Na ɔsɔfoɔ no de mogya no bi afɔre ne nsateaa baako ho na ɔde afɔre ɔhyeɛ afɔrebukyia mmɛn no ho. Na wahwie mogya no nkaeɛ no agu afɔrebukyia no ase.
35 And he shall remove all the fat, just as the fat of the lamb is removed from the peace offerings, and he shall burn it on the altar along with the offerings made by fire to the LORD. In this way the priest will make atonement for him for the sin he has committed, and he will be forgiven.
Wɔbɛyɛ sradeɛ no sɛdeɛ wɔyɛ asomdwoeɛ odwammaa sradeɛ no. Ɔsɔfoɔ no bɛhye sradeɛ no wɔ afɔrebukyia no so te sɛ afɔdeɛ ahodoɔ a wɔde ogya bɔ ma Awurade no ara pɛ. Ɔsɔfoɔ no nam saa afɔrebɔ yi so bɛpata ama onipa ko no, na wɔde ne bɔne bɛkyɛ no.
