Leviticus 24
1 The Lord told Moses,
Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose sɛ,
2 “Order the Israelites to bring you pure, pressed olive oil for the lamps, so they will always stay lit.
“Ka kyerɛ Israelfoɔ na wɔmmrɛ wo ngo kronn na fa sɔ kanea a ɛnnum da,
3 From evening until morning Aaron is to constantly look after the lamps continually before the Lord, outside the veil of the Testimony in the Tent of Meeting. This regulation is for all time and for all future generations.
adanseɛ ntwamutam no akyi wɔ Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no mu, Aaron bɛhwɛ nkanea a ɛwɔ Awurade anim no so, firi anwummerɛ kɔsi anɔpa biara. Ɛyɛ daa ahyɛdeɛ ma mo awoɔ ntoatoasoɔ nyinaa.
4 He is to constantly look after the lamps placed on the pure gold lampstand before the Lord.
Ɛsɛ sɛ wɔhwɛ nkanea a ɛsisi sikakɔkɔɔ kaneadua so wɔ Awurade anim no so ɛberɛ biara.
5 Using the best flour bake twelve loaves, with two-tenths of an ephah of flour per loaf.
“Momfa asikyiresiam muhumuhu nto burodo amuamua dumienu. Momfa esiam lita ɛnan ne fa nto burodo mua biara.
6 Place them in two piles, six in each pile, on the table made of pure gold that stands before the Lord.
Monhyehyɛ no akyerɛpɛn mmienu, a nsia biara wɔ kyerɛpɛn baako so wɔ sikakɔkɔɔ amapa ɛpono so wɔ Awurade anim.
7 Place pure frankincense beside each pile to go with the bread to act as the ‘reminder part,’ a food offering to the Lord.
Mode aduhwam pa bɛgu kyerɛpɛn biara ho de asi burodo no anan mu ayɛ afɔrebɔdeɛ a wɔhye wɔ ogya so ma Awurade.
8 Every Sabbath day the bread shall be placed before the Lord, given by the Israelites as an ongoing sign of the eternal agreement.
Ɛsɛ sɛ wɔde saa burodo yi sisi Awurade anim Homeda biara; ɛbɛyɛ apam a ɛnni awieeɛ ama Israelfoɔ.
9 It is for Aaron and his descendants. They are to eat it in a holy place; for they must treat it as a most holy part of the food offerings given to the Lord. It is their share of the food offerings for all time.”
Burodo yi yɛ Aaron ne ne mmammarima dea, na ɛsɛ sɛ wɔdi wɔ kronkronbea hɔ, ɛfiri sɛ, ɛyɛ kronkron pa ara wɔ wɔn kyɛfa a ɛwɔ afɔrebɔdeɛ a wɔhye ma Awurade no mu.”
10 One day a man who had an Israelite mother and an Egyptian father went into the Israelite camp and had a fight with an Israelite.
Ɛda bi aberanteɛ bi a ne maame yɛ Israelni na nʼagya nso yɛ Misraimni ne Israelfoɔ no baako nyaa ntɔkwa wɔ wɔn atenaeɛ.
11 The Israelite woman's son cursed the name of the Lord. So they took him before Moses. (His mother's name was Shelomith, daughter of Dibri, from the tribe of Dan.)
Ntɔkwa no mu no, Israelni babarima no domee Onyankopɔn enti wɔde no baa Mose nkyɛn sɛ wɔmmu no atɛn. Na ne maame din de Selomit a ɔyɛ Dibri a ɔfiri Dan abusua mu.
12 They detained him until it was clear what the Lord wanted them to do about it.
Wɔde no too afiase twɛn Awurade akwankyerɛ.
13 The Lord told Moses,
Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose sɛ,
14 “Take the man who cursed me outside the camp. Have all who heard him curse put their hands on his head; then have everyone stone him to death.
“Fa obusuyɛni no firi atenaeɛ ha kɔ na kɔka kyerɛ wɔn a wɔtee asɛm a ɔkaeɛ no nyinaa na wɔmfa wɔn nsa ngu nʼapampam; afei nnipa no nyinaa nsi no aboɔ nku no.
15 Tell the Israelites that anyone who curses their God will be punished for their sin.
Ka kyerɛ Israelfoɔ no sɛ, ‘Obiara a ɔbɛdome Onyankopɔn no, ɛsɛ sɛ ɔnya ho asotwe:
16 Anyone who curses the name of the Lord must to be executed. All of you must stone them to death, whether they are a foreigner who lives with you or an Israelite. If they curse my name, they must be executed.
obiara a ɔgu Awurade din ho fi no, ɛsɛ sɛ wɔkum no. Ɛsɛ sɛ ɛdɔm no nyinaa si no aboɔ. Ɔhɔhoɔ anaa Israelni biara a ɔbɛgu Awurade din ho fi no, ɛsɛ sɛ wɔkum no.
17 Anyone who kills someone else must be executed.
“‘Obiara a ɔkum ne yɔnko onipa no, ɛsɛ sɛ wɔkum no.
18 Anyone who kills an animal has to replace it—a life for a life.
Obiara a ɔkum aboa bi a ɛnyɛ ne dea no, ɛsɛ sɛ ɔhyɛ ananmu.
19 If anyone injures someone else, whatever they've done must be done to them:
Sɛ obi pira ne yɔnko a, ɔyɔnko no nso bɛpira no bi saa ara.
20 a broken bone for a broken bone, an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. Whatever way they injured the victim, the same must be done to them.
Dompe mu bu nsi dompe mu bu ananmu; ani nsi ani ananmu; ɛse nsi ɛse ananmu. Sɛdeɛ obi pira ɔfoforɔ no, saa ara na wɔmpira ɔno nso.
21 Anyone who kills an animal has to replace it, but anyone who kills someone else must be executed.
Obiara a ɔbɛkum aboa bi no, ɛsɛ sɛ ɔhyɛ anan mu; nanso sɛ obi kum onipa a, ɛsɛ sɛ wɔkum no bi.
22 The same laws apply to foreigners who live with you as to Israelites, for I am the Lord your God.”
Mmara korɔ no ara wɔ hɔ ma ɔhɔhoɔ ne kuromani. Mene Awurade, mo Onyankopɔn.’”
23 Moses told this to the Israelites, and they took the man who cursed the Lord outside the camp and stoned him to death. The Israelites did what the Lord ordered Moses to do.
Enti Mose kasa kyerɛɛ Israelfoɔ no, na wɔyii obusuyɛni no firii atenaeɛ hɔ kɔsii no aboɔ. Israelfoɔ no yɛɛ sɛdeɛ Awurade hyɛɛ Mose no.
