Leviticus 12

1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose se, “Ka kyerɛ Israelfo no se,

2 Speak to the children of Israel, and thou shalt say to them: If a woman having received seed shall bear a man child, she shall be unclean seven days, according to the days of the separation of her flowers.

‘Sɛ ɔbea bi wo ɔbabarima a, ne ho ntew nnanson, te sɛ nea ɔkɔ afikyiri a ne ho ntew no ara.

3 And on the eighth day the infant shall be circumcised:

Ne nnaawɔtwe so no, ɛsɛ sɛ wotwa abarimaa no twetia.

4 But she shall remain three and thirty days in the blood of her purification. She shall touch no holy thing, neither shall she enter into the sanctuary, until the days of her purification be fulfilled.

Na nnafua aduasa abiɛsa a ɛda nʼanim a ɔde retew ne ho no, ɛnsɛ sɛ oso biribiara a ɛyɛ kronkron mu na onni ho kwan sɛ ɔkɔ hyiadan mu nso.

5 But if she shall bear a maid child, she shall be unclean two weeks, according to the custom of her monthly courses, and she shall remain in the blood of her purification sixty-six days.

Sɛ ɔbea bi wo ɔbabea a, ne ho ntew nnaawɔtwe abien, te sɛ nea ɔkɔ afikyiri a ne ho ntew no ara. Afei ɛsɛ sɛ ɔtwɛn nnafua aduosia asia ma ne ho twa.

6 And when the days of her purification are expired, for a son, or for a daughter, she shall bring to the door of the tabernacle of the testimony, a lamb of a year old for a holocaust, and a young pigeon or a turtle for sin, and shall deliver them to the priest:

“‘Sɛ saa ahotew nna yi twa mu a, ɛsɛ sɛ ɔde oguamma a wadi afe bɛbɔ ɔhyew afɔre na ɔde aborɔnoma anaa aturukuku ba bɛbɔ bɔne ho afɔre. Ɛsɛ sɛ ɔde wɔn kɔ Ahyiae Ntamadan no ano kɔma ɔsɔfo no.

7 Who shall offer them before the Lord, and shall pray for her, and so she shall be cleansed from the issue of her blood. This is the law for her that beareth a man child or a maid child.

Na ɔsɔfo no de wɔn bɛma Awurade de ayɛ mpata ama ɛna no; ɛba saa a, ne ho tew bio wɔ nʼawo mu mogyagugu ho. “‘Eyinom ne awo akyi ahyɛde.

8 And if her hand find not sufficiency, and she is not able to offer a lamb, she shall take two turtles, or two young pigeons, one for a holocaust, and another for sin: and the priest shall pray for her, and so she shall be cleansed.

Na sɛ ɔyɛ ohiani a ɔrennya oguamma no a, ɛno de, ɛsɛ sɛ ɔde mmorɔnoma abien anaa nturukuku mma abien ba. Wɔde ɔbaako bɛbɔ ɔhyew afɔre na wɔde ɔbaako abɔ bɔne ho afɔre. Ɔsɔfo no bɛfa saa kwan yi so ayɛ mpata ama no, sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a ne ho bɛtew bio.’”
