Leviticus 5
1 If you sin by not giving the evidence you have about a legal case, whether you saw something yourself or heard about it, you bear responsibility for your guilt.
“‘Obiara a ɔnka bɔne bi a onim ho biribi ho hwee no di ho fɔ.
2 If you touch anything unclean such as the dead body of any unclean wild animal or farm animals or vermin, even if you're unaware of it, you become unclean and guilty.
“‘Obiara a ɔde ne nsa ka ade bi a amanne kwan so no ɛho ntew, te sɛ aboa bi a ne ho ntew funu, sɛ ɔyɛ wuram aboa, sɛ ɔyɛ afieboa anaa aboa a ɔwea wɔ fam no, mpo sɛ onnim sɛ ne ho agu fi na akyiri no ogye nʼafɔdi to mu,
3 If you touch something unclean from someone else who is unclean, even if you're unaware of it, you become guilty.
anaa sɛ obi anhyɛ da na ɔde ne nsa ka biribi a efi onipa mu a ɛho ntew na ɔte ne ho ase sɛ odi ho fɔ,
4 If you foolishly swear to do something, (whether good or bad, and in whatever way people impulsively swear an oath), even if you're unaware of it being wrong, when you eventually realize it, you are guilty.
anaa sɛ obi annwene ho na ɔka ntam sɛ ɔbɛyɛ biribi a eye anaa ennye na akyiri no ohu nʼafɔdi;
5 If you become guilty in one of these ways, you must confess your sin,
sɛ obi ani ba ne ho so wɔ eyinom biara mu a, ɛsɛ sɛ ɔpae mu ka ne bɔne a wayɛ.
6 and you must take your guilt offering of a female lamb or goat to the Lord as a sin offering for your sin. The priest will make your sin right.
Ɛsɛ sɛ ɔde oguammere anaa abirekyibere bɔ afɔre ma Awurade wɔ ne bɔne ho asotwe ho. Ɔsɔfo na ɔbɛbɔ onipa ko no bɔne no ho afɔre ama no. Ɔsɔfo no nam saa afɔrebɔ yi so bɛpata ama no.
7 If you can't afford a lamb, you may offer to the Lord as compensation for your sin two turtledoves or two young pigeons, one as a sin offering and one as a burnt offering.
“‘Sɛ ɔyɛ ohiani a ɔrennya oguamma mfa mma Awurade a, ɔmfa nturukuku abien anaa mmorɔnomamma abien mmra sɛ ne bɔne ho afɔrebɔde. Nnomaa no mu baako bɛyɛ ne bɔne no afɔrebɔde na ɔbaako ayɛ ne hyew afɔrebɔde.
8 You are to take them to the priest, who shall present the first one as the sin offering. He is to wring its head from the neck without removing it completely.
Ɔde bɛma ɔsɔfo no na ɔde anomaa a odi kan no abɔ bɔne afɔre no. Obekyim aboa no kɔn nanso ɔrentew ne ti mfi so,
9 Then he is to sprinkle some of the blood of the sin offering on the side of the altar while the rest of the blood is poured out at the bottom of the altar. It is a sin offering.
na wapete ne mogya no bi agu afɔremuka no ho. Mogya no nkae no, obehwie agu afɔremuka no ase. Eyi ne afɔrebɔ kwan a ɛpepa bɔne.
10 The priest must then prepare the second bird as a burnt offering according to the regulations. In this way the priest will make you right for your sin, and you will be forgiven.
Na ɔsɔfo no de anomaa a ɔto so abien no bɛbɔ ɔhyew afɔre sɛnea ɔbɔɔ afɔre a edi kan no ara pɛ. Ɔsɔfo no nam saa afɔrebɔ yi so bɛpata ama nea wayɛ bɔne no, na ɛnam so ama wɔde ne bɔne akyɛ no.
11 If you can't afford two turtledoves or two young pigeons you may bring a tenth of an ephah of the best flour as a sin offering. Don't put olive oil or frankincense on it, because it is a sin offering.
“‘Sɛ ɔyɛ ohiani buruburoo a ɔrentumi mfa nturukuku anaa mmorɔnomamma mmɛbɔ ne bɔne ho afɔre a, ɔde asikresiam muhumuhu lita abien ne fa bɛba sɛ ne bɔne ho afɔrebɔde. Ɛnsɛ sɛ ɔde ɔsra ngo fra. Ɛnsɛ sɛ ɔde aduhuam nso gu so, efisɛ ɛyɛ bɔne afɔre.
12 Take it to the priest, who shall take a handful as a ‘reminder part’ and burn it on the altar on top of the burnt offerings to the Lord. It is a sin offering.
Ɔde bɛma ɔsɔfo no. Na ɔsɔfo no asaw ne nsa ma de asi ne nyinaa anan na wahyew no wɔ afɔremuka no so ama Awurade sɛ afɔrebɔde biara. Eyi bɛyɛ ne bɔne ho afɔrebɔ.
13 This is how the priest will make right any of these sins you have committed, and you will be forgiven. The rest of the offering will belong to the priest, just like the grain offering.”
Sɛ ɛba saa a, ɔsɔfo no nam saa afɔrebɔ yi so bɛpata ama onipa no na wɔde ne bɔne no bɛkyɛ no. Asikresiam a aka no, wɔde bɛma ɔsɔfo no te sɛ nnɔbae afɔrebɔde no ara pɛ.’”
14 The Lord told Moses,
Awurade hyɛɛ mmara maa Mose se,
15 “If any of you neglects unintentionally all that the Lord has declared belong to him and are holy, you must bring your guilt offering to the Lord: a ram without defects from your herd or but one of equivalent value in silver shekels (according to the sanctuary shekel standard). It is a guilt offering.
“Sɛ obi anhyɛ da na ogu ade kronkron ho fi a, ɔde odwennini a ne ho nni dɛm a ɔfata sɛ mpata wɔ nʼafɔdi no ho bɛba abɛbɔ Awurade afɔre.
16 As regards any holy requirement you failed to contribute, you must pay compensation by adding a fifth of its value to it and then give it to the priest, who will make it right with the ram as a guilt offering, and you will be forgiven.
Ade kronkron a nipa no guu ho fi no nso, ɔde foforo besi anan na watua dekode no bo ɔha mu nkyɛmu aduonu aka ho sɛ asotwe. Ɔde ne nyinaa bɛma ɔsɔfo na ɔde Odwennini no abɔ bɔne afɔre no na wɔde ne bɔne akyɛ no.
17 If you sin and break any of the Lord's commandments, even if you are unaware of it, you are still guilty and bear responsibility for your guilt.
“Sɛ obi anhyɛ da na obu Awurade mmara no bi so a, odi fɔ nti ɛsɛ sɛ otua afɔbude a Mose bɛhyɛ no.
18 You must take to the priest a ram without defects of the appropriate value from the flock as a guilt offering. Then the priest will make right for you the wrong you did in ignorance, and you will be forgiven.
Ɛsɛ sɛ ɔde odwennini anaa ɔpapo a onni dɛm brɛ ɔsɔfo sɛ ne bɔne no ho afɔrebɔde. Na ɔsɔfo no de ayɛ mpata ama no wɔ bɔne biara a ɔyɛe a wanhyɛ da no ho, na wɔde ne bɔne bɛkyɛ no.
19 It is a guilt offering because you were guilty as far as the Lord was concerned.”
Ɛsɛ sɛ wɔbɔ saa afɔre no sɛ afɔdi afɔre, efisɛ odi fɔ pefee wɔ Awurade anim.”
