Numbers 15
1 And the Lord said to Moses,
Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose sɛ,
2 Say to the children of Israel, When you have come into the land which I am giving to you for your resting-place,
“Ka kyerɛ Israelfoɔ no sɛ, ‘Sɛ mokɔtena asase a mede ama mo no so
3 And are going to make an offering by fire to the Lord, a burned offering or an offering in connection with an oath, or an offering freely given, or at your regular feasts, an offering for a sweet smell to the Lord, from the herd or the flock:
na mopɛ sɛ mobɔ ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ anaa afɔdeɛ biara a wɔbɔ no ogya so ma ɛsɔ Awurade ani a, ɛsɛ sɛ afɔrebɔdeɛ no yɛ aboa a ɔfiri mo nnwankuo anaa anantwibuo mu. Sɛ ɛyɛ ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ, anaa afɔrebɔ a wɔde hyɛ bɔ, anaa afɔrebɔ a ɛfiri ɔpɛ mu, anaa afɔrebɔ a wɔbɔ no afirinhyia mu nnapɔnna bi mu no a, ɛsɛ sɛ wɔde aduane afɔrebɔdeɛ ka ho.
4 Then let him who is making his offering, give to the Lord a meal offering of a tenth part of a measure of the best meal mixed with a fourth part of a hin of oil:
Deɛ ɔde ba no, ɛsɛ sɛ ɔde aduane afɔrebɔdeɛ a ɛyɛ esiam kilogram mmienu a wɔde ngo lita baako afra ka ho ma Awurade.
5 And for the drink offering, you are to give with the burned offering or other offering, the fourth part of a hin of wine for every lamb.
Odwammaa biara a wɔde bɔ ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ no, ɛsɛ sɛ wɔde nsã afɔrebɔdeɛ a ɛyɛ bobesa lita baako ka ho.
6 Or for a male sheep, give as a meal offering two tenth parts of a measure of the best meal mixed with a third part of a hin of oil:
“‘Sɛ odwennini na wode rebɔ afɔdeɛ a, fa esiam lita mmiɛnsa fra ngo lita baako,
7 And for the drink offering give a third part of a hin of wine, for a sweet smell to the Lord.
ne bobesa lita baako sɛ ɔnom afɔrebɔdeɛ. Yei ne afɔrebɔ a ɛbɛsɔ Awurade ani.
8 And when you make ready a young ox for a burned or other offering, or for the effecting of an oath, or for peace-offerings to the Lord:
“‘Sɛ wosiesie nantwie ba ma ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ anaa afɔrebɔdeɛ de hyɛ bɔ sononko bi anaa ayɔnkofa asikyiresiam afɔdeɛ a worebɔ ama Awurade a,
9 Then with the ox give a meal offering of three tenth parts of a measure of the best meal mixed with half a hin of oil.
fa atokoɔ afɔrebɔdeɛ a ɛyɛ asikyiresiam a wɔayam no muhumuhu lita nsia ne fa ne ngo lita mmienu ka nantwie no ho
10 And for the drink offering: give half a hin of wine, for an offering made by fire for a sweet smell to the Lord.
a bobesa lita mmienu ka ho sɛ ɔnom afɔrebɔdeɛ. Egya na wɔde bɛbɔ saa afɔdeɛ yi na asɔ Awurade ani.
11 This is to be done for every young ox and for every male sheep or he-lamb or young goat.
Yei ne mmara a ɛka nantwie, odwennini, odwammaa anaa abirekyie ba a wɔde bɔ afɔdeɛ ho.
12 Whatever number you make ready, so you are to do for every one.
Afɔrebɔdeɛ biara a mo mu biara de bɛkɔ no, ɛsɛ sɛ ɔfa saa ɛkwan yi so.
13 All those who are Israelites by birth are to do these things in this way, when giving an offering made by fire of a sweet smell to the Lord.
“‘Ɛsɛ sɛ Israelfoɔ ne ahɔhoɔ a wɔne mo teɛ a wɔpɛ sɛ wɔfa ogya afɔrebɔ so sɔ Awurade ani no nyinaa di saa mmara yi so.
14 And if a man from another country or any other person living among you, through all your generations, has the desire to give an offering made by fire of a sweet smell to the Lord, let him do as you do.
Na sɛ ahɔhoɔ a wɔte mo mu no pɛ sɛ wɔbɔ ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ ma ɛsɔ Awurade ani a, ɛsɛ sɛ wɔfa saa ɛkwan korɔ no ara so.
15 There is to be one law for you and for the man of another country living with you, one law for ever from generation to generation; as you are, so is he to be before the Lord.
Mmara no wɔ hɔ ma mo nyinaa—ɔmanfoɔ ne ahɔhoɔ; na ɛyɛ nokorɛ a ɛtim hɔ daa firi awoɔ ntoatoasoɔ so kɔsi awoɔ ntoatoasoɔ so sɛ wɔn nyinaa yɛ pɛ wɔ Awurade anim.
16 The law and the rule are to be the same for you and for those from other lands living with you.
Mmara baako na ɛwɔ hɔ ma mo nyinaa.’”
17 And the Lord said to Moses,
Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose saa ɛberɛ no sɛ,
18 Say to the children of Israel, When you come into the land where I am guiding you,
“Ka kyerɛ Israelfoɔ no sɛ, sɛ wɔduru asase a mede rebɛma wɔn no so
19 Then, when you take for your food the produce of the land, you are to give an offering lifted up before the Lord.
na wɔdi asase no so aduane a, wɔmfa bi mmɔ afɔdeɛ mma Awurade.
20 Of the first of your rough meal you are to give a cake for a lifted offering, lifting it up before the Lord as the offering of the grain-floor is lifted up.
Atokoɔ a mobɛyam a ɛdi ɛkan no, momfa nto ɔfam nto nkyɛn sɛ akyɛdeɛ sɛdeɛ moyɛ atokoɔ otwakane no wɔ ayuporobea no.
21 From generation to generation you are to give to the Lord a lifted offering from the first of your rough meal.
Ɛfiri awoɔ ntoatoasoɔ a ɛbɛba no, ɛsɛ sɛ mode saa afɔdeɛ a ɛfiri mo aduane a ɛdi ɛkan a moanya mu yi ma Awurade.
22 And if in error you go against any of these laws which the Lord has given to Moses,
“‘Sɛ mo mu bi firi awerɛfirie mu bu saa mmara a Awurade nam Mose so de ama mo yi so,
23 All the laws which the Lord has given you by the hand of Moses, from the day when the Lord gave them, and ever after from generation to generation;
na sɛ daakye mo asefoɔ bu mmara ahodoɔ a Awurade nam Mose so de ama mo yi so,
24 Then, if the wrong is done in error, without the knowledge of the meeting of the people, let all the meeting give a young ox as a burned offering, a sweet smell to the Lord, with its meal offering and its drink offering, as is ordered in the law, together with a he-goat for a sin-offering.
na sɛ wɔfom awerɛfirie mu a nnipa no nnim a, ɛsɛ sɛ wɔde aduane afɔrebɔdeɛ ne ɔnom afɔrebɔdeɛ ne ɔpapo a wɔde no bɛbɔ bɔne ho afɔdeɛ ka ho ma Awurade.
25 So the priest will make the people free from sin, and they will have forgiveness; for it was an error, and they have given their offering made by fire to the Lord, and their sin-offering before the Lord, on account of their error:
Na ɔsɔfoɔ no ayɛ mpatadeɛ ama Israelfoɔ nyinaa na wɔde wɔn bɔne akyɛ wɔn; ɛfiri sɛ, ɛyɛ mfomsoɔ, na wɔnam ɔhyeɛ afɔrebɔ so abɔ afɔdeɛ wɔ Awurade anim a wɔn bɔne afɔrebɔdeɛ ka ho.
26 And all the meeting of the children of Israel, as well as those from other lands living among them, will have forgiveness; for it was an error on the part of the people.
Wɔde nnipa no nyinaa a ahɔhoɔ a wɔte wɔn mu ka ho no bɔne bɛkyɛ wɔn, ɛfiri sɛ, ɔmanfoɔ no nyinaa na wɔyɛɛ mfomsoɔ a wɔanhyɛ da; na wɔde akyɛ wɔn nyinaa.
27 And if one person does wrong, without being conscious of it, then let him give a she-goat of the first year for a sin-offering.
“‘Sɛ obi yɛ mfomsoɔ awerɛfirie mu a, ɛsɛ sɛ ɔde abirekyibereɛ ba a wadi afe bɛbɔ bɔne ho afɔdeɛ
28 And the priest will take away the sin of the person who has done wrong, if the wrong was done unconsciously, and he will have forgiveness.
na ɔsɔfoɔ no ayɛ mpatadeɛ ama no wɔ Awurade anim na wɔde ne bɔne akyɛ no.
29 The law in connection with wrong done unconsciously is to be the same for him who is an Israelite by birth and for the man from another country who is living among them.
Saa mmara yi wɔ hɔ ma Israelfoɔ ne ananafoɔ a wɔte mu mu no.
30 But the person who does wrong in the pride of his heart, if he is one of you or of another nation by birth, is acting without respect for the Lord, and will be cut off from his people.
“‘Na sɛ obi boapa yɛ mfomsoɔ a, sɛ ɔyɛ Israelni anaa ɔnanani no, ɔgu Awurade din ho fi, enti wɔbɛyi no afiri nnipa no mu.
31 Because he had no respect for the word of the Lord, and did not keep his law, that man will be cut off without mercy and his sin will be on him.
Mperɛ dodoɔ a wɔabu Awurade asɛm animtiaa na wɔboapa abu Awurade mmara so no, ɛsɛ sɛ wɔyi no firi nnipa no mu na ne bɔne gu ne tiri so.’”
32 Now while the children of Israel were in the waste land, they saw a man who was getting sticks on the Sabbath day.
Ɛda bi a Israelfoɔ no wɔ ɛserɛ so no, wɔkyeree wɔn mu baako sɛ ɔrebubu mmabaa homeda.
33 And those who saw him getting sticks took him before Moses and Aaron and all the people.
Wɔkyeree no de no kɔɔ Mose ne Aaron ne atemmufoɔ bi anim.
34 And they had him shut up, because they had no directions about what was to be done with him.
Wɔde no too afiase kɔsii sɛ wɔhunuu Awurade adwene a ɔwɔ wɔ saa onipa no ho.
35 Then the Lord said to Moses, Certainly the man is to be put to death: let him be stoned by all the people outside the tent-circle.
Afei, Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose sɛ, “Ɛsɛ sɛ wɔkum saa onipa no. Nnipa no nyinaa nsi no aboɔ wɔ atenaeɛ no akyi baabi.”
36 So all the people took him outside the tent-circle and he was stoned to death there, as the Lord gave orders to Moses.
Enti wɔde no kɔɔ atenaeɛ no akyi baabi kɔsii no aboɔ sɛdeɛ Awurade hyɛeɛ no.
37 And the Lord said to Moses,
Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose sɛ,
38 Say to the children of Israel that through all their generations they are to put on the edges of their robes an ornament of twisted threads, and in every ornament a blue cord;
“Ka kyerɛ Israelfoɔ na wɔmma biribi nsensɛne wɔn ntadeɛ ano mfiri awoɔ ntoatoasoɔ so nkɔsi awoɔ ntoatoasoɔ so a ɛbɛyɛ mmara a ɛtim hɔ daa na wɔmfa ahoma tuntum nkyekyere sɛ nkaeɛ adeɛ mfam ntadeɛ ano.
39 So that, looking on these ornaments, you may keep in mind the orders of the Lord and do them; and not be guided by the desires of your hearts and eyes, through which you have been untrue to me:
Saa mmara yi botaeɛ ne sɛ, ɛberɛ biara a mobɛhunu saa adeɛ yi no, mobɛkae Awurade mmara a wɔahyɛ mo no, na moadi nʼapɛdeɛ so, na moamfa mo ankasa mo akwan sɛdeɛ na moyɛ de som anyame afoforɔ no.
40 And that you may keep in mind all my orders and do them and be holy to your God.
Ɛbɛkae mo ama moayɛ kronkron ama Onyankopɔn.
41 I am the Lord your God, who took you out of the land of Egypt, so that I might be your God: I am the Lord your God.
Mene Awurade mo Onyankopɔn a mede mo firi Misraim asase so baeɛ no. Aane, mene Awurade mo Onyankopɔn.”
