Numbers 5
1 And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
Yei ne mmara a Awurade sane hyɛ maa Mose:
2 Command the children of Israel, that they put out of the camp every leper, and every one that hath an issue, and whosoever is defiled by a dead person:
“Ka kyerɛ Israelfoɔ no sɛ, ɛsɛ sɛ wɔpam akwatafoɔ nyinaa firi atenaeɛ hɔ. Wɔn a ekuro atutu wɔn ne wɔn a wɔde wɔn nsa akɔka efunu enti wɔn ho agu fi nyinaa no, ɛsɛ sɛ wɔpam wɔn.
3 both male and female shall ye put out; outside the camp shall ye put them, that they defile not their camps, in the midst whereof I dwell.
Mmarima ne mmaa nyinaa ka ho. Yi wɔn nyinaa firi hɔ sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ na atenaeɛ hɔ a me ne mo bɛtena no ho rengu fi”.
4 And the children of Israel did so, and put them outside the camp: as Jehovah had said to Moses, so did the children of Israel.
Wɔdii Awurade mmara no so.
5 And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
Afei, Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose sɛ,
6 Speak unto the children of Israel, When a man or woman shall commit any of all the sins of man to work unfaithfulness against Jehovah, and that soul is guilty,
“Ka kyerɛ Israelfoɔ no sɛ, sɛ ɔbarima o, ɔbaa o, ɔdi Awurade hwammɔ a, ɛyɛ bɔne.
7 then they shall confess their sin which they have done; and he shall recompense his trespass according to the principal thereof, and shall add unto it the fifth part thereof, and give it unto him against whom he hath trespassed.
Ɛsɛ sɛ ɔka ne bɔne na adeɛ a ɔwiaeɛ no, ɔtua ho ka nyinaa na ɔsane de ɛho ka no nkyɛmu ɔha mu aduonu ka ho de ma onipa ko a ɔbɔɔ no korɔno no.
8 And if the man have no kinsman to recompense the trespass unto, the trespass which is recompensed to Jehovah shall be the priest's, besides the ram of the atonement, wherewith an atonement is made for him.
Na sɛ onipa ko a ɔyɛɛ no bɔne no awu na ɔnni obusuani biara a ɔbɛn no a wɔbɛtua ho ka ama no no a, ɛsɛ sɛ, sɛ ɔtua ka no ma ɔsɔfoɔ a, odwennini ka ho sɛ mpatadeɛ. Ɛyɛ Awurade dea.
9 And every heave-offering of all the holy things of the children of Israel, which they present unto the priest, shall be his.
Akyɛdeɛ kronkron a Israelfoɔ de bɛkyɛ ɔsɔfoɔ no yɛ ne dea.
10 And every man's hallowed things shall be his: whatever any man giveth the priest shall be his.
Ɔsɔfoɔ biara bɛfa akyɛdeɛ kronkron biara a ne nsa bɛka.”
11 And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose sɛ,
12 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, If any man's wife go astray, and commit unfaithfulness against him,
“Ka kyerɛ Israelfoɔ no sɛ, sɛ ɔbarima bi yere kɔbɔ adwaman
13 and a man lie with her carnally, and it be hid from the eyes of her husband, and she be defiled in secret, and there be no witness against her, and she have not been caught;
nanso ɔnhunu asɛm no mu nokorɛ na ɔnnya ɔdanseni
14 and the spirit of jealousy come upon him, and he be jealous of his wife, and she have been defiled, — or if the spirit of jealousy come upon him, and he be jealous of his wife, and she have not been defiled,
na ɔtwe ho ninkunu na ɔnte ne ho ase a,
15 — then shall the man bring his wife unto the priest, and he shall bring her offering for her, a tenth part of an ephah of barley-meal; he shall pour no oil upon it, nor put frankincense thereon; for it is an oblation of jealousy, a memorial oblation, bringing iniquity to remembrance.
ɔbarima no de ne yere no bɛkɔ ɔsɔfoɔ anim a ɔbaa no ho afɔrebɔdeɛ a ɛyɛ atokosiam a wɔmfaa ohwam ngo mfraeɛ lita mmienu ka ho. Ɛfiri sɛ, ɛyɛ ninkuntwe afɔrebɔ. Ɛno na ɛbɛma nokorɛ ada adie ama wɔahunu sɛ ɔbaa no di fɔ anaa ɔdi bem.
16 And the priest shall bring her near, and set her before Jehovah.
“Ɔsɔfoɔ no de ɔbaa no bɛba Awurade anim,
17 And the priest shall take holy water in an earthen vessel; and the priest shall take of the dust that is on the floor of the tabernacle, and put it into the water.
na wasa Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no mu mfuturo de afra nsuo kronkron a ɛgu asansuo kɛseɛ bi mu no.
18 And the priest shall set the woman before Jehovah, and uncover the woman's head, and put the memorial oblation in her hands, which is the jealousy offering; and in the hand of the priest shall be the bitter water that bringeth the curse.
Ɔbɛsane ne ti a wakyekyere no na ɔde ninkunu afɔrebɔdeɛ no agu ne nsam de ahwɛ sɛ ɔbarima no nsusuiɛ no yɛ nokorɛ ampa ara anaasɛ ɛnyɛ nokorɛ. Ɔsɔfoɔ no bɛgyina nʼanim a ɔkura nsuo nwononwono a ɛde mmusuo ba no.
19 And the priest shall adjure her, and say unto the woman, If no man have lain with thee, and if thou hast not gone astray in uncleanness, in being with another instead of thy husband, be free from this bitter water that bringeth the curse.
Ɔbɛma no aka ntam sɛ ɔnnim asɛm no ho hwee na waka akyerɛ no sɛ, sɛ wo ne ɔbarima biara nnaeɛ ka wo kunu nko ara ho deɛ a, ɛnneɛ, wo ho nte mfiri nsuo nwononwono a ɛde mmusuo ba yi ho. Na sɛ woabɔ adwaman a, ɛnneɛ, Awurade bɛdome wo wɔ wo nkurɔfoɔ mu. Ɔbɛma wo srɛ aporɔ na wo yafunu ahono. Na ɔbaa no bɛka sɛ, ‘Aane, saa na ɛsɛ sɛ ɛba.’
20 But if thou hast gone astray to another instead of thy husband, and hast been defiled, and a man other than thy husband have lain with thee,
21 — then the priest shall adjure the woman with the oath of cursing, and the priest shall say unto the woman: Jehovah make thee a curse and an oath among thy people, when Jehovah doth make thy thigh to shrink, and thy belly to swell;
22 and this water that bringeth the curse shall enter into thy bowels, to make the belly to swell, and the thigh to shrink. And the woman shall say, Amen, amen.
23 And the priest shall write these curses in a book, and shall blot them out with the bitter water,
“Ɔsɔfoɔ no bɛtwerɛ nnome yi nyinaa agu nwoma bi mu na wahohoro agu nsuo nwononwono no mu.
24 and he shall cause the woman to drink the bitter water that bringeth the curse, that the water that bringeth the curse may enter into her for bitterness.
Sɛ ɛsɛ sɛ ɔbaa no nom nsuo no na sɛ ɔnom wɔ ɛberɛ a wayɛ bɔne a, ɛyɛ nwononwononwono wɔ ne mu.
25 And the priest shall take out of the woman's hand the oblation of jealousy, and shall wave the oblation before Jehovah, and shall present it at the altar.
Afei, ɔsɔfoɔ no bɛgye ninkunu afɔrebɔdeɛ no afiri ɔbaa no nsam na wahinhim no Awurade anim na ɔde akɔ afɔrebukyia no so.
26 And the priest shall take a handful of the oblation as a memorial thereof, and burn it upon the altar; and afterwards he shall make the woman drink the water.
Ɔbɛsa ne nsabuo ma de asi ne nyinaa anan na wahye no wɔ afɔrebukyia no so na wama ɔbaa no anom nsuo no.
27 And when he hath made her to drink the water, then it shall come to pass, if she have been defiled, and have committed unfaithfulness against her husband, that the water that bringeth the curse shall enter into her, for bitterness, and her belly shall swell, and her thigh shall shrink; and the woman shall become a curse among her people.
Sɛ ne ho agu fi na wabɔ adwaman no atia ne kunu a, nsuo a wanom no bɛyɛ nwononwononwono wɔ ne mu na ne yafunu ahono na ne srɛ aporɔ na wayɛ nnome wɔ ne nkurɔfoɔ mu.
28 But if the woman have not been defiled, and be clean, then she shall be clear, and shall conceive seed.
Sɛ ɔyɛ kronn a ɔmmɔɔ adwaman a, wɔrenha no, na ɛrenkyɛre, ɔbɛnyinsɛn.
29 This is the law of jealousies, when a wife goeth astray to another instead of her husband and is defiled,
“Yei ne mmara a ɛfa ɔbaa a ne bra nyɛ na ne kunu twe ne ho ninkunu
30 or when the spirit of jealousy cometh upon a man, and he is jealous as regards his wife; then shall he set the woman before Jehovah, and the priest shall do to her according to all this law.
de hwehwɛ mu hunu sɛ ɔdi ne kunu nokorɛ anaa ɔnni no nokorɛ no ho. Ɔde no bɛba Awurade anim na ɔsɔfoɔ no adi dwuma a wɔabobɔ so no nyinaa.
31 Then shall the man be free from iniquity, but that woman shall bear her iniquity.
Wɔrenni ne kunu no asɛm wɔ baabiara sɛ wama yare bɔne bi aba ne yere so, ɛfiri sɛ, ɛyɛ ɔno ara na ɔma ɛbaa saa.”
