Numbers 15
1 The Lord told Moses,
Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose sɛ,
2 “Tell the Israelites, ‘These are instructions about what you are to do once you arrive in the country I'm giving you to live in.
“Ka kyerɛ Israelfoɔ no sɛ, ‘Sɛ mokɔtena asase a mede ama mo no so
3 When you bring an offering to the Lord from your herd or flock (whether it's a burnt offering, a sacrifice to fulfill a promise you made, or a freewill or festival offering) that will be acceptable to the Lord,
na mopɛ sɛ mobɔ ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ anaa afɔdeɛ biara a wɔbɔ no ogya so ma ɛsɔ Awurade ani a, ɛsɛ sɛ afɔrebɔdeɛ no yɛ aboa a ɔfiri mo nnwankuo anaa anantwibuo mu. Sɛ ɛyɛ ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ, anaa afɔrebɔ a wɔde hyɛ bɔ, anaa afɔrebɔ a ɛfiri ɔpɛ mu, anaa afɔrebɔ a wɔbɔ no afirinhyia mu nnapɔnna bi mu no a, ɛsɛ sɛ wɔde aduane afɔrebɔdeɛ ka ho.
4 then you shall also present a grain offering of one tenth of an ephah of best flour mixed with a quarter hin of olive oil.
Deɛ ɔde ba no, ɛsɛ sɛ ɔde aduane afɔrebɔdeɛ a ɛyɛ esiam kilogram mmienu a wɔde ngo lita baako afra ka ho ma Awurade.
5 Add a quarter of a hin of wine as a drink offering to the burn offering or the sacrifice of a lamb.
Odwammaa biara a wɔde bɔ ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ no, ɛsɛ sɛ wɔde nsã afɔrebɔdeɛ a ɛyɛ bobesa lita baako ka ho.
6 When it comes to a ram, present a grain offering of two tenths of an ephah of best flour mixed with a third of a hin of olive oil,
“‘Sɛ odwennini na wode rebɔ afɔdeɛ a, fa esiam lita mmiɛnsa fra ngo lita baako,
7 along with a third of a hin of wine as a drink offering, all of them to be acceptable to the Lord.
ne bobesa lita baako sɛ ɔnom afɔrebɔdeɛ. Yei ne afɔrebɔ a ɛbɛsɔ Awurade ani.
8 When you bring a young bull as a burnt offering or a sacrifice to fulfill a promise you made or as a peace offering to the Lord,
“‘Sɛ wosiesie nantwie ba ma ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ anaa afɔrebɔdeɛ de hyɛ bɔ sononko bi anaa ayɔnkofa asikyiresiam afɔdeɛ a worebɔ ama Awurade a,
9 then you shall also with the bull a grain offering of three-tenths of an ephah of the best flour mixed with half a hin of olive oil.
fa atokoɔ afɔrebɔdeɛ a ɛyɛ asikyiresiam a wɔayam no muhumuhu lita nsia ne fa ne ngo lita mmienu ka nantwie no ho
10 Add a half a hin of wine as a drink offering. All this is an offering to be acceptable to the Lord.
a bobesa lita mmienu ka ho sɛ ɔnom afɔrebɔdeɛ. Egya na wɔde bɛbɔ saa afɔdeɛ yi na asɔ Awurade ani.
11 This is to be done for every bull, ram, lamb, or goat brought as an offering.
Yei ne mmara a ɛka nantwie, odwennini, odwammaa anaa abirekyie ba a wɔde bɔ afɔdeɛ ho.
12 This is what you need to do for each one, however many.
Afɔrebɔdeɛ biara a mo mu biara de bɛkɔ no, ɛsɛ sɛ ɔfa saa ɛkwan yi so.
13 Every Israelite is to follow these instructions when they present an offering that is accepted by the Lord.
“‘Ɛsɛ sɛ Israelfoɔ ne ahɔhoɔ a wɔne mo teɛ a wɔpɛ sɛ wɔfa ogya afɔrebɔ so sɔ Awurade ani no nyinaa di saa mmara yi so.
14 This also applies for all future generations that if a foreigner living among you or anyone else among you wishes to present an offering acceptable to the Lord: they are to do exactly what you do.
Na sɛ ahɔhoɔ a wɔte mo mu no pɛ sɛ wɔbɔ ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ ma ɛsɔ Awurade ani a, ɛsɛ sɛ wɔfa saa ɛkwan korɔ no ara so.
15 The whole congregation must have the same rules for you and for the foreigner living among you. This is a permanent law for all future generations You and the foreigner are to be treated the same way before the law.
Mmara no wɔ hɔ ma mo nyinaa—ɔmanfoɔ ne ahɔhoɔ; na ɛyɛ nokorɛ a ɛtim hɔ daa firi awoɔ ntoatoasoɔ so kɔsi awoɔ ntoatoasoɔ so sɛ wɔn nyinaa yɛ pɛ wɔ Awurade anim.
16 The same rules and regulations apply to you and the foreigner living among you.’”
Mmara baako na ɛwɔ hɔ ma mo nyinaa.’”
17 Then the Lord told Moses,
Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose saa ɛberɛ no sɛ,
18 “Tell the Israelites, ‘When you get to the country where I'm leading you
“Ka kyerɛ Israelfoɔ no sɛ, sɛ wɔduru asase a mede rebɛma wɔn no so
19 and you eat the food produced there, you shall give some of it as an offering to the Lord.
na wɔdi asase no so aduane a, wɔmfa bi mmɔ afɔdeɛ mma Awurade.
20 You are to give some of the flour you make into loaves as a gift—present it just like an offering from the threshing floor.
Atokoɔ a mobɛyam a ɛdi ɛkan no, momfa nto ɔfam nto nkyɛn sɛ akyɛdeɛ sɛdeɛ moyɛ atokoɔ otwakane no wɔ ayuporobea no.
21 For all future generations, you are to give the Lord an offering from the first of your flour.
Ɛfiri awoɔ ntoatoasoɔ a ɛbɛba no, ɛsɛ sɛ mode saa afɔdeɛ a ɛfiri mo aduane a ɛdi ɛkan a moanya mu yi ma Awurade.
22 Now if you collectively sin without meaning to and don't follow all these instructions that the Lord has given Moses—
“‘Sɛ mo mu bi firi awerɛfirie mu bu saa mmara a Awurade nam Mose so de ama mo yi so,
23 everything that the Lord has ordered you to do through Moses from the time that the Lord gave them and for all future generations—
na sɛ daakye mo asefoɔ bu mmara ahodoɔ a Awurade nam Mose so de ama mo yi so,
24 and if it was done unintentionally without everyone knowing about it, then the whole congregation is to present a young bull as a burnt offering to be accepted by the Lord, along with its grain offering and drink offering presented according to the rules, as well as a male goat as a sin offering.
na sɛ wɔfom awerɛfirie mu a nnipa no nnim a, ɛsɛ sɛ wɔde aduane afɔrebɔdeɛ ne ɔnom afɔrebɔdeɛ ne ɔpapo a wɔde no bɛbɔ bɔne ho afɔdeɛ ka ho ma Awurade.
25 In this way the priest is to make the whole congregation of Israel right with the Lord so that they can be forgiven, because the sin was unintentional and they have presented the Lord with an burnt offering and a sin offering, offered before the Lord for their unintentional sin.
Na ɔsɔfoɔ no ayɛ mpatadeɛ ama Israelfoɔ nyinaa na wɔde wɔn bɔne akyɛ wɔn; ɛfiri sɛ, ɛyɛ mfomsoɔ, na wɔnam ɔhyeɛ afɔrebɔ so abɔ afɔdeɛ wɔ Awurade anim a wɔn bɔne afɔrebɔdeɛ ka ho.
26 Then the whole congregation of Israel and the foreigners living among them will be forgiven, because the people sinned unintentionally.
Wɔde nnipa no nyinaa a ahɔhoɔ a wɔte wɔn mu ka ho no bɔne bɛkyɛ wɔn, ɛfiri sɛ, ɔmanfoɔ no nyinaa na wɔyɛɛ mfomsoɔ a wɔanhyɛ da; na wɔde akyɛ wɔn nyinaa.
27 In the case of an individual who sins without meaning to—they are to present a year-old female goat as a sin offering.
“‘Sɛ obi yɛ mfomsoɔ awerɛfirie mu a, ɛsɛ sɛ ɔde abirekyibereɛ ba a wadi afe bɛbɔ bɔne ho afɔdeɛ
28 The priest will make the person who sinned unintentionally right before the Lord their behalf. Once they have been made right, they will be forgiven.
na ɔsɔfoɔ no ayɛ mpatadeɛ ama no wɔ Awurade anim na wɔde ne bɔne akyɛ no.
29 You shall apply the same law for the one who mistakenly sins to an Israelite or a foreigner living among you.
Saa mmara yi wɔ hɔ ma Israelfoɔ ne ananafoɔ a wɔte mu mu no.
30 But the person who sins in defiance, whether an Israelite or foreigner, is blaspheming the Lord. They shall be expelled from their people.
“‘Na sɛ obi boapa yɛ mfomsoɔ a, sɛ ɔyɛ Israelni anaa ɔnanani no, ɔgu Awurade din ho fi, enti wɔbɛyi no afiri nnipa no mu.
31 They have to be expelled, because they have treated the word of the Lord with contempt and broken his commandment. They are responsible for the consequences of their own guilt.’”
Mperɛ dodoɔ a wɔabu Awurade asɛm animtiaa na wɔboapa abu Awurade mmara so no, ɛsɛ sɛ wɔyi no firi nnipa no mu na ne bɔne gu ne tiri so.’”
32 During the time the Israelites were wandering in the desert, a man was caught collecting firewood on the Sabbath.
Ɛda bi a Israelfoɔ no wɔ ɛserɛ so no, wɔkyeree wɔn mu baako sɛ ɔrebubu mmabaa homeda.
33 The people who found him collecting wood brought him before Moses, Aaron, and the rest of the Israelites.
Wɔkyeree no de no kɔɔ Mose ne Aaron ne atemmufoɔ bi anim.
34 They placed him under guard because it wasn't clear what should happen to him.
Wɔde no too afiase kɔsii sɛ wɔhunuu Awurade adwene a ɔwɔ wɔ saa onipa no ho.
35 The Lord told Moses, “This man has to be executed. All the Israelites are to stone him outside the camp.”
Afei, Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose sɛ, “Ɛsɛ sɛ wɔkum saa onipa no. Nnipa no nyinaa nsi no aboɔ wɔ atenaeɛ no akyi baabi.”
36 So they all took the man outside the camp and stoned him to death as the Lord had ordered Moses.
Enti wɔde no kɔɔ atenaeɛ no akyi baabi kɔsii no aboɔ sɛdeɛ Awurade hyɛeɛ no.
37 Sometime later the Lord told Moses,
Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose sɛ,
38 “Tell the Israelites that for all future generations you must make tassels for the hems of your clothes and attach them with blue cord.
“Ka kyerɛ Israelfoɔ na wɔmma biribi nsensɛne wɔn ntadeɛ ano mfiri awoɔ ntoatoasoɔ so nkɔsi awoɔ ntoatoasoɔ so a ɛbɛyɛ mmara a ɛtim hɔ daa na wɔmfa ahoma tuntum nkyekyere sɛ nkaeɛ adeɛ mfam ntadeɛ ano.
39 When you look at these tassels you will be reminded to keep all the commandments of the Lord and not be unfaithful, following your own thoughts and desires.
Saa mmara yi botaeɛ ne sɛ, ɛberɛ biara a mobɛhunu saa adeɛ yi no, mobɛkae Awurade mmara a wɔahyɛ mo no, na moadi nʼapɛdeɛ so, na moamfa mo ankasa mo akwan sɛdeɛ na moyɛ de som anyame afoforɔ no.
40 In this way you'll remember to keep all my commandments and you will be holy to your God. I am the Lord your God who led you out of Egypt to be your God.
Ɛbɛkae mo ama moayɛ kronkron ama Onyankopɔn.
41 I am the Lord your God!”
Mene Awurade mo Onyankopɔn a mede mo firi Misraim asase so baeɛ no. Aane, mene Awurade mo Onyankopɔn.”
