< Leviticus 6 >

1 The Lord told Moses,
Na Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose se,
2 “If you sin against the Lord, breaking your commitment to him, then this is what must happen. You may have lied to your neighbor about something you were looking after for them, about some deposit paid, about something was stolen, or maybe you were trying to cheat them.
“Sɛ obi yɛ bɔne tia me, sɛ ebia, ɔbɛdaadaa ne yɔnko wɔ biribi a wɔde ahyɛ ne nsa anaa ade a wɔawia na wɔde abegyaw no no ho, anaasɛ osisi ne yɔnko,
3 You may have found property someone lost, and you lied and made false statements about it, or you have sinned in others ways that people do in such situations.
anaa otu ahu na ɔka ntam san wɔ ho se dekode no nni ne nkyɛn a,
4 If you have sinned and become guilty you must return what you have stolen or cheated from your victims, the deposit you took, the lost property you found,
sɛ obi yɛ bɔne na odi ho fɔ a, ɔbɛsan de ne akorɔnne no anaa ne tintimgye ade anaa nea wɔde maa no siei anaa agyapade a wɔde ahyɛ ne nsa, anaa ade a ayera no aba,
5 or anything else that must be given back that you lied about. You must pay full compensation plus a fifth of the value, and give it to the owner as soon as you accept that you are guilty of sin.
biribiara a waka ho ntamhunu no nso, ɔbɛsan de ne nyinaa aba na ɔde ho mfɛntom ɔha mu nkyɛmu aduonu aka ho abrɛ onipa ko a ɛyɛ ne de no wɔ da a ɔrebɔ afɔdi ho afɔre no.
6 Then you must take to the priest your guilt offering for the Lord: a ram without defects of the appropriate value from the flock.
Nʼafɔdi ho afɔrebɔde no sɛ ɔde odwennini a onni dɛm na ɔsom bo kɔma ɔsɔfo.
7 This is how the priest will make you right before the Lord, and you will be forgiven whatever sins you may have done that you are guilty of.”
Na ɔsɔfo no de no bɛyɛ mpata ama no wɔ Awurade anim na wɔde ne bɔne akyɛ no.”
8 The Lord told Moses,
Afei, Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose se,
9 “Give Aaron and his sons these instructions regarding the burnt offering: The burnt offering is to be left on the fireplace of the altar throughout night until morning, and the fire must be kept burning on the altar.
“Fa saa mmara a ɛfa ɔhyew afɔre ho yi ma Aaron ne ne mmabarima. ‘Wobegyaw ɔhyew afɔrebɔde no wɔ ogya no so anadwo mu no nyinaa, na ɛsɛ sɛ afɔremuka gya no kɔ so dɛw.
10 The priest shall put on his linen clothes and underwear, and he shall take from the altar the greasy ashes of the burnt offering that the fire has burned up and set them down beside the altar.
Ade kye a, ɔsɔfo no bɛhyɛ nʼasɔfotade hyerɛnhyerɛn wɔ ase na wahyɛ atadetam koro no ara bi nguguso na wakɔpra ɔhyew afɔre nsõ no de agu afɔremuka no nkyɛn.
11 Then he has to change his clothes, and take the ashes outside the camp to a place that's ceremonially clean.
Afei, ɔbɛsesa ne ntade no na wasoa nsõ no afi beae hɔ de akogu beae foforo a wɔatew hɔ no.
12 The fire on the altar must be kept burning—don't let it go out. Each morning the priest is to add wood to the fire, carefully place the burnt offering on it, and burn the fat parts of the peace offerings on it.
Saa bere yi nyinaa ɛsɛ sɛ ogya a ɛwɔ afɔremuka no so no dɛw. Ɛnsɛ sɛ edum. Anɔpa biara ɔsɔfo no de ogya foforo bɛhyɛ mu na ɔde da biara ɔhyew afɔre agu so, na wahyew srade a wɔde bɔ da biara asomdwoe afɔre no.
13 The fire must always be kept burning on the altar continually—don't let it go out.
Ɛsɛ sɛ bere biara ogya no kɔ so dɛw wɔ afɔremuka no so; ɛnsɛ sɛ edum.
14 These are the regulations for the grain offering: Aaron's sons are to present it before the Lord, in front of the altar.
“‘Atoko afɔre ho mmara nso ni: Aaron mmabarima begyina afɔremuka no anim na wɔde atoko afɔrebɔ no ama Awurade.
15 The priest shall remove a handful of the best flour mixed with olive oil, as well as all the frankincense from the grain offering, and burn the ‘reminder part’ on the altar to be to be accepted by the Lord.
Ɔsɔfo no bɛsaw asikresiam a wɔayam no muhumuhu no ne nsa ma na ɔde ngo ne aduhuam afra ahyew no wɔ afɔremuka no so sɛ ehua a ɛsɔ Awurade ani.
16 The rest is for Aaron and his sons to eat. It must be eaten without yeast in a holy place—the courtyard of the Tent of Meeting.
Ɔsaw ne nsa ma wie a, nea ɛbɛka no yɛ Aaron ne ne mmabarima de a wobedi. Wobedi wɔ Ahyiae Ntamadan no adiwo hɔ a wɔremfa mmɔkaw mfra.
17 It must not be baked with yeast. I have provided it as their share of my food offerings. It is most holy, just like the sin offering and the guilt offering.
Si so dua sɛ, sɛ wɔto a, wɔmmfa mmɔkaw mmfra mu. Mede saa ɔhyew afɔre a wɔbɔ maa me no bi ama asɔfo no. Esiane sɛ ne nyinaa yɛ bɔne ne afɔdi ho afɔrebɔ, nti ɛyɛ kronkron.
18 Any of Aaron's male descendants may eat it. This is a permanent allowance from the food offerings to the Lord for future generations. Whatever touches them shall become holy.”
Aaron asefo mmarima ne asɔfo na wonni mfi awo ntoatoaso so nkosi awo ntoatoaso so. Nanso asɔfo no nko ara na wonni afɔrebɔde a wɔabɔ no ogya so ama Awurade no. Biribiara a ɛbɛka wɔn no bɛyɛ kronkron.’”
19 The Lord told Moses,
Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose se,
20 “This is the offering that Aaron and his sons are to present to the Lord when they're anointed: a tenth of an ephah of best flour as a usual grain offering, half in the morning and half in the evening.
“Da a wɔbɛsra Aaron ne ne mmabarima ngo no, ɛsɛ sɛ wɔde asikresiam lita abien ne fa brɛ Awurade. Wɔde fa bɛba anɔpa na wɔde fa aba anwummere.
21 Cook it with olive oil on a griddle. Bring it well-kneaded and present it as a grain offering broken into pieces, to be accepted by the Lord.
Wɔde ngo bɛfra ato wɔ dade apampaa so. Ɛsɛ sɛ wɔto no yiye na wɔde ba sɛ ehua a ɛsɔ Awurade nʼani.
22 It is to be cooked by the priest who is one of Aaron's descendants and who is to be anointed to take his place. In this case since it is permanently allocated to the Lord, it must be burned completely.
Ɔsɔfo a ofi Aaron mmabarima mu a wɔrehyɛ no sɔfo ma wasi nʼagya anan no de bɛma Awurade sɛnea wɔahyɛ ho mmara afebɔɔ sɛ wɔnhyew ne nyinaa no.
23 Every grain offering for a priest is to be burned completely. It must not be eaten.”
Ɛsɛ sɛ wɔhyew ɔsɔfo biara atoko afɔre a ɔbɛbɔ no nyinaa; ɛnsɛ sɛ wodi.”
24 The Lord told Moses,
Afei Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose se,
25 “Tell Aaron and his sons that these are the regulations for the sin offering. The sin offering is to be killed where the burnt offering is killed before the Lord, and it is most holy.
“Ka kyerɛ Aaron ne ne mmabarima sɛ bɔne afɔrebɔ ho mmara ni: ‘Saa afɔrebɔde yi ho yɛ kronkron yiye enti ɛsɛ sɛ wokum no Awurade anim wɔ beae a wokum ɔhyew afɔrebɔde no.
26 The priest who offers the sin offering is to eat it. It must be eaten without yeast in a holy place—the courtyard of the Tent of Meeting.
Ɛsɛ sɛ ɔsɔfo a ɔyɛ afɔrebɔ no ho adwuma no we afɔrebɔde no wɔ Ahyiae Ntamadan no adiwo hɔ.
27 Whatever touches it shall become holy and if any of the blood is splashed on clothing, you must wash it in a holy place.
Wɔn a wɔatew wɔn ho a wɔyɛ asɔfo nko ara na wɔwɔ ho kwan sɛ wɔde wɔn nsa ka nam no bi; na sɛ ɛba sɛ aboa no mogya bi pete wɔn ntade mu a, ɛsɛ sɛ wɔhoro ntade no wɔ beae a wɔatew ho hɔ.
28 The clay pot used to boil the sin offering must be broken. If it's boiled in a bronze pot, the pot must be thoroughly cleaned and washed out with water.
Ɛsɛ sɛ wɔbɔ kuku a wɔnoaa nam no wɔ mu no; na sɛ ɛyɛ kɔbere nso a, ɛsɛ sɛ wotwiw mu, na wɔde nsu hohoro mu nyinaa yiye.
29 Any male among the priests may eat it, it is most holy.
Ɔbarima biara a ɔfra asɔfo no mu no bedi afɔrebɔde no bi—wɔn nko ara—efisɛ ɛyɛ kronkron yiye.
30 But no sin offering may be eaten if its blood has been taken into the Tent of Meeting to as a means to make things right in the Holy Place. In that case it must be burned.”
Sɛ wɔde bɔne ho afɔrebɔde no mogya no bi kɔ Ahyiae Ntamadan mu hɔ de kɔyɛ mpata wɔ kronkronbea hɔ a, ɔsɔfo biara renwe bi. Ɛsɛ sɛ wɔde ogya hyew aboa no nyinaa wɔ Awurade anim.
