Numbers 6
1 And the LORD said to Moses,
Awurade sane ka kyerɛɛ Mose sɛ
2 “Speak to the Israelites and tell them that if a man or woman makes a special vow, the vow of a Nazirite, to separate himself to the LORD,
ɔnka nkyerɛ Israelfoɔ no sɛ, “Sɛ ɔbarima anaa ɔbaa kɔyɛ Nasareni de te ne ho wɔ Awurade anim a,
3 he is to abstain from wine and strong drink. He must not drink vinegar made from wine or strong drink, and he must not drink any grape juice or eat fresh grapes or raisins.
ɛno akyi, saa ɛberɛ a ɔwɔ ahoteɛ no mu no, ɔnni ho kwan sɛ ɔnom nsã a ɛyɛ den anaa bobesa anaa nsã a emu ka.
4 All the days of his separation, he is not to eat anything that comes from the grapevine, not even the seeds or skins.
Saa ɛberɛ no mu no, ɔnni ho kwan sɛ ɔdi biribiara a ɛfiri bobe mu, sɛ ɛyɛ nʼaba anaa ne hono.
5 For the entire period of his vow of separation, no razor shall pass over his head. He must be holy until the time of his separation to the LORD is complete; he must let the hair of his head grow long.
“Saa ɛberɛ no mu no, ɛnsɛ sɛ ɔyi ne tirinwi, ɛfiri sɛ, ɔyɛ kronkron na wɔate ne ho ama Awurade; ɛno enti na ɛsɛ sɛ ɔma ne tirinwi fu no.
6 Throughout the days of his separation to the LORD, he must not go near a dead body.
“Awurade bɔhyɛ no nna no mu no, ɔnni ho kwan sɛ ɔkɔ owufoɔ ho.
7 Even if his father or mother or brother or sister should die, he is not to defile himself, because the crown of consecration to his God is upon his head.
Sɛ owufoɔ no yɛ nʼagya, ne maame, ne nuabarima anaa ne nuabaa koraa a, ɔnnkɔ ne ho, ɛfiri sɛ, ne bɔ a ɔhyɛ de tee ne ho no, ɔda so hyɛ aseɛ,
8 Throughout the time of his separation, he is holy to the LORD.
na saa ɛberɛ no mu nyinaa, wɔate ne ho ama Awurade.
9 If someone suddenly dies in his presence and defiles his consecrated head of hair, he must shave his head on the day of his cleansing—the seventh day.
“Sɛ obi wu tɔ ne nkyɛn de gu ne ho fi a, nnanson akyi, ɛsɛ sɛ ɔyi ne tirinwi a ɛho agu fi no. Afei, wɔbɛdwira ne ho afiri efi a owufoɔ no de aka no no.
10 On the eighth day he must bring two turtledoves or two young pigeons to the priest at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting.
Nʼadekyeeɛ a ɛyɛ ɛda a ɛtɔ so nwɔtwe no, ɛsɛ sɛ ɔde nturukuku mmienu anaa mmorɔnoma mma mmienu brɛ ɔsɔfoɔ wɔ Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no kwan ano.
11 And the priest is to offer one as a sin offering and the other as a burnt offering to make atonement for him, because he has sinned by being in the presence of the dead body. On that day he must consecrate his head again.
Ɔsɔfoɔ no de nnomaa no mu baako bɛbɔ bɔne ho afɔdeɛ na ɔde ɔbaako abɔ ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ, na ayɛ mpatadeɛ ama deɛ ne ho agu fi no. Na ɛda no ara, ɛsɛ sɛ ɔti ne bɔhyɛ mu na ɔsane ma ne tirinwi no fu bio.
12 He must rededicate his time of separation to the LORD and bring a year-old male lamb as a guilt offering. But the preceding days shall not be counted, because his separation was defiled.
Nna dodoɔ a ɔdii ne bɔhyɛ a ɛdi ɛkan no so no nyinaa ahye agu. Ɔbɛhyɛ Awurade bɔ foforɔ de afiri aseɛ, na ɔde odwennini ba a wadi afe bɛba abɛbɔ ɛfɔdie ho afɔdeɛ.
13 Now this is the law of the Nazirite when his time of separation is complete: He must be brought to the entrance to the Tent of Meeting,
“Ɛda a ne bɔhyɛ a ɛte ɔno ne Awurade ntam no wie duru no, ɛsɛ sɛ ɔkɔ Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no ano
14 and he is to present an offering to the LORD of an unblemished year-old male lamb as a burnt offering, an unblemished year-old female lamb as a sin offering, and an unblemished ram as a peace offering—
kɔbɔ ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ ma Awurade. Ɔde odwan ba a wadi afe a ɔnnii dɛm na ɛbɛbɔ saa afɔdeɛ no. Ɛsɛ sɛ ɔde odwanbereɛ a wadi afe a ɔnnii dɛm bɔ bɔne ho afɔdeɛ na ɔde odwennini a ɔnnii dɛm bɔ asomdwoeɛ afɔdeɛ.
15 together with their grain offerings and drink offerings—and a basket of unleavened cakes made from fine flour mixed with oil and unleavened wafers coated with oil.
Nneɛma a ɔde bɛka ho no ne burodo a mmɔreka mfra mu, asikyiresiam taterɛ a wɔde ngo afra; burodo ntrawa bi a mmɔreka mfra mu a wɔde ngo ayɛ so a aduane ne nsã afɔrebɔdeɛ ka ho.
16 The priest is to present all these before the LORD and make the sin offering and the burnt offering.
“Ɔsɔfoɔ no de saa afɔrebɔdeɛ yi nyinaa bɛba Awurade anim. Deɛ ɔde bɛdi ɛkan aba no yɛ bɔne ho afɔdeɛ ne ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ,
17 He shall also offer the ram as a peace offering to the LORD, along with the basket of unleavened bread. And the priest is to offer the accompanying grain offering and drink offering.
afei, odwennini a wɔde no bɛbɔ asomdwoeɛ afɔdeɛ a burodo kɛntɛnma a mmɔreka nni mu nso ka ho. Na deɛ ɛtwa toɔ a ɔde bɛba no ne aduane ne nsã afɔdeɛ a ɔde bɛma Awurade.
18 Then at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting, the Nazirite is to shave his consecrated head, take the hair, and put it on the fire under the peace offering.
“Afei, ɔhotuafo no bɛyi ne tirinwi a afu kuhaa no; ɛno ne nsɛnkyerɛnnedeɛ a ɛkyerɛ sɛ, ɔnhyɛ bɔhyɛ no ase bio. Wɔbɛyɛ yei wɔ Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no ano, na wɔde nwi no agu asomdwoeɛ afɔdeɛ a wɔrebɔ no wɔ ogya mu no ahye no.
19 And the priest is to take the boiled shoulder from the ram, one unleavened cake from the basket, and one unleavened wafer, and put them into the hands of the Nazirite who has just shaved the hair of his consecration.
“Wɔayi ɔbarima no tirinwi no awie no, ɔsɔfoɔ no de odwennini no basa a wɔatoto, taterɛ a mmɔreka nni mu no baako ne burodo ntrawa a mmɔreka nni mu bɛhyɛ ɔbarima no nsam.
20 The priest shall then wave them as a wave offering before the LORD. This is a holy portion for the priest, in addition to the breast of the wave offering and the thigh that was presented. After that, the Nazirite may drink wine.
Ɔsɔfoɔ no bɛhim no akɔ nʼanim aba nʼakyi wɔ Awurade anim a ɛkyerɛ ma a ɔde rema Awurade. Ne nyinaa yɛ kyɛfa a ɛho te ma ɔsɔfoɔ no. Wɔbɛyɛ no sɛdeɛ wɔyɛ odwennini no basa mu mfempadeɛ a wɔhim no wɔ Awurade anim no. Yei akyi no, ɔhotuafoɔ no tumi nom bobesa a ɛkyerɛ sɛ, wɔayi no afiri ne bɔhyɛ no mu.
21 This is the law of the Nazirite who vows his offering to the LORD for his separation, in addition to whatever else he can afford; he must fulfill whatever vow he makes, according to the law of his separation.”
“Yeinom ne mmara a ɛda hɔ ma Nasareni a wahyɛ nʼahofama ho bɔ awie, na ɔde afɔrebɔ ahodoɔ brɛ Awurade. Saa afɔrebɔ yi akyi no, ɔtumi de afɔrebɔdeɛ biara a ɔrebɛyɛ Nasareni no, ɔhyɛɛ ho bɔ sɛ ɔde bɛba no ba.”
22 Then the LORD said to Moses,
Afei, Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose sɛ,
23 “Tell Aaron and his sons: This is how you are to bless the Israelites. Say to them:
“Ka kyerɛ Aaron ne ne mmammarima no sɛ ɛsɛ sɛ wɔhyira Israelfoɔ yi sononko sɛ:
24 ‘May the LORD bless you and keep you;
“‘Awurade nhyira mo na ɔnhwɛ mo so.
25 may the LORD cause His face to shine upon you and be gracious to you;
Awurade nte nʼanim nkyerɛ mo na ɔnnom mo.
26 may the LORD lift up His countenance toward you and give you peace.’
Awurade mma nʼani so nhwɛ mo na ɔmma mo asomdwoeɛ.’
27 So they shall put My name on the Israelites, and I will bless them.”
“Saa na ɛsɛ sɛ Aaron ne ne mmammarima hyira Israelfoɔ, na mʼankasa nso mɛhyira wɔn.”
