Leviticus 12

1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose sɛ ɔnhyɛ Israelfoɔ mmara sɛ,

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 ɔbaa bi wo ɔbabarima a, ne ho nnte nnanson, te sɛ deɛ ɔkɔ afikyire a ne ho nteɛ no ara.

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

Ne nnawɔtwe so no, ɛsɛ sɛ wɔtwa 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 mmiɛnsa a ɛda nʼanim a ɔde rete ne ho no, ɛnsɛ sɛ ɔsɔ biribiara a ɛyɛ kronkron mu na ɔnni 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 ɔbaa bi wo ɔbabaa a, ne ho nnte nnawɔtwe mmienu, te sɛ deɛ ɔkɔ afikyire a ne ho nteɛ no ara. Afei ɛsɛ sɛ ɔtwɛn nnafua aduosia nsia 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 ahoteɛ nna yi twam a (mmara a ɛdi so yi ka ɔbaa a wawo abarimaa anaa abaayewa ho asɛm), ɛsɛ sɛ ɔde odwammaa a wadi afe bɛbɔ ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ na ɔde aborɔnoma anaa aturukuku ba bɛbɔ bɔne ho afɔdeɛ. Ɛsɛ sɛ ɔde wɔn kɔ Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no ano kɔma ɔsɔfoɔ 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 ɔsɔfoɔ no de ama Awurade de ayɛ mpatadeɛ ama ɛna no; ɛba saa a, ne ho te bio wɔ nʼawoɔ mu mogyaguo ho. “Yei ne awoɔ akyi ahyɛdeɛ.

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 odwammaa no a, ɛnneɛ, ɛsɛ sɛ ɔde mmorɔnoma mmienu anaa nturukuku mma mmienu ba. Wɔde baako bɛbɔ ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ na wɔde baako abɔ bɔne ho afɔdeɛ. Ɔsɔfoɔ no de yeinom bɛyɛ mpatadeɛ ama no, sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a ne ho bɛte bio.”
