Numbers 19
1 The Lord told Moses and Aaron,
Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose ne Aaron se,
2 “This is a legal regulation the Lord has ordered, saying, ‘Tell the Israelites to bring you a red cow without defects which has never been yoked.
“Eyi yɛ mmara a ɛsɛ sɛ wodi so a Awurade ahyɛ: Ka kyerɛ Israelfo se wɔmfa nantwi ba bere kɔkɔɔ a onnii dɛm na ɔntwee nneɛma da mmrɛ me.
3 Hand it over to Eleazar the priest, and he will take it outside the camp and have it slaughtered before him.
Momfa no mma ɔsɔfo Eleasar na ɔde no bɛkɔ atenae no akyi baabi na wɔakum no wɔ nʼanim.
4 Eleazar the priest will put some of its blood on his finger and sprinkle it seven times towards the entrance of the Tent of Meeting.
Na ɔsɔfo Eleasar de ne nsateaa bɛbɔ mogya no mu na ɔde apete Ahyiae Ntamadan no anim mpɛn ason.
5 Then the cow must be burned as he watches All of it is to be burned—its skin, meat, and blood, as well as its excrement.
Afei, ɔbɛhwɛ ama obi ahyew nantwi ba no. Wɔbɛhyew ne ho nhoma, ne nam, ne mogya ne ne nsono.
6 The priest shall throw cedar wood, hyssop, and crimson thread on the burning cow.
Na egu so rehyew no, Eleasar bɛfa sida dua, adwerɛ ne asaawa kɔkɔɔ na watow agu nantwi ba bere a wɔrehyew no so.
7 Then the priest shall wash his clothes and his body in water, and after that he may enter the camp, but he will remain unclean until the evening.
Eyi akyi no, ɛsɛ sɛ ɔsɔfo no horo ne ntade na oguare. Afei obetumi aba atenae hɔ, nanso ne ho rentew kosi anwummere.
8 The person who burned the cow shall also wash his clothes and his body in water, and he too will remain unclean until the evening.
Onipa a ɔhyew aboa no nso, ɛsɛ sɛ ɔhoro ne ntade na oguare, na ɔno nso ho rentew kosi anwummere.
9 Then a man who is clean shall collect the ashes of the cow and keep them in a clean place outside the camp. They are to be kept by the Israelites to prepare the water of purification which is for purifying from sin.
“Ɔbarima a ne ho nguu fi no bɛsesaw aboa a wɔhyew no no nsõ de akogu atenae no akyi baabi a ɛhɔ yɛ kronkron. Ɛsɛ sɛ Israelfo no de sie na wɔde agu wɔn ahodwira nsu mu; ɛyɛ nea wɔde dwira wɔn ho fi bɔne ho.
10 The man who collected the ashes of the cow shall also wash his clothes, and he will remain unclean until the evening. This is a permanent rule for the Israelites and for the foreigner that lives with them.
Onipa a ɔbɛboaboa nantwi ba no nsõ no ano no nso, ɛsɛ sɛ ɔhoro ne ntade, na ɔno nso ho rentew kosi anwummere. Eyi bɛyɛ mmara a ɛbɛtena hɔ afebɔɔ ama Israelfo no ne ahɔho a wɔte wɔn mu no nyinaa.
11 If you touch a dead body you will be unclean for seven days.
“Obiara a obeso onipa funu mu no ho begu fi nnanson.
12 You must purify yourself with the water of purification on the third day and on the seventh day, and then you will be clean. But if you don't purify yourself on the third and seventh days, you won't be clean.
Na ne nnansa ne ne nnanson so no, ɛsɛ sɛ ɔde nsu dwira ne ho ma ne ho tew. Sɛ wannwira ne ho nnansa ne nnanson so a ne ho rentew.
13 If you touch a dead body and don't purify yourself you make the Tabernacle of the Lord unclean and must be expelled from Israel. You are still unclean because the water of purification hasn't been sprinkled on you, and your uncleanness remains.
Wɔn a woso nnipa funu mu na wonnwira wɔn ho no, wogu Awurade Ntamadan no ho fi. Ɛsɛ sɛ woyi saa nnipa no fi Israelfo mu. Esiane sɛ wɔamfa ahodwira nsu no bi ampete wɔn ho no nti, wɔn ho ntew; wɔn ho a agu fi no da so wɔ wɔn so.
14 The following regulation applies when a person dies in a tent. Everyone who comes into the tent and everyone who is already in the tent will be unclean for seven days.
“Sɛ obi wu wɔ ntamadan mu a, ɛho mmara ni: Obiara a obewura saa ntamadan no mu ne wɔn a wɔwɔ mu dedaw ansa na onipa no rewu no nyinaa ho begu fi nnanson,
15 Any open container there that doesn't have a closed lid is unclean.
na ade biara a enni mmuaso na wɔde asa no nso ho begu fi.
16 If you're out in the open and you touch someone who has been killed by the sword or who has died naturally, or if you touch a human bone or a grave, then you'll be unclean for seven days.
“Sɛ obi a ɔwɔ abɔnten de ne nsa ka obi a ɔtɔɔ wɔ afoa ano funu anaasɛ obi a ɔnyɛ ɔtɔfo funu, anaasɛ obi de ne nsa ka onipa dompe anaa ɔda a, ne ho begu fi nnanson.
17 This is the process for the purification if you are unclean. Take some of the ashes of the burnt offering for purification, and put them in a jar with fresh water.
“Nea ne ho agu fi no, fa ahodwira nsõ no bi gu kuruwa mu na hwie nsu gu so.
18 A man who is clean shall take some hyssop and dip it in the water. Then sprinkle the tent and everything inside it, and everybody who was there. He would also need to sprinkle you if you who touched a bone, or a grave, or someone who has died or has been killed.
Na obi a ne ho tew no mfa adwerɛ mmɔ nsu no mu mpete ntamadan no so ne nkuku ne nkaka a ɛwɔ ntamadan no mu no nso so ne obiara a na ɔwɔ ntamadan no mu a ne ho agu fi no so. Saa ara nso na obi a osoo dompe mu anaa obi a wokum no anaa nea ɔde ne ho aka ɔda no nso, wodwira ne ho.
19 The man who is clean is to sprinkle you both on the third day and on the seventh day. After you are purified on the seventh day, you must wash your clothes and yourself in water, and that evening you'll be clean.
Wɔyɛ eyi ne nnansa ne ne nnanson so. Na nea ne ho agu fi no nso, ɛsɛ sɛ ɔhoro ne ntade na oguare, na saa anwummere no ne ho bɛtew.
20 But if you don't purify yourself, you will be expelled from the Israelites, because you have made the Tabernacle of the Lord unclean. The water of purification hasn't been sprinkled on you, and you remain unclean.
Nanso sɛ wɔn a wɔn ho agu fi na annwira wɔn ho a, ɛsɛ sɛ wotwa wɔn asu, efisɛ wɔagu Awurade kronkronbea hɔ ho fi. Wɔmfaa ahodwira nsu mpetee wɔn so ɛ, na wɔn ho ntew.
21 This is a permanent rule for the everyone. The man who sprinkles the water of purification must wash his clothes, and anyone who touches the water of purification will be unclean until the evening.
Eyi yɛ mmara a ɛbɛtena hɔ afebɔɔ ama wɔn. “Onipa a obetu ahodwira nsu no apete no nso, ɛsɛ sɛ ɔhoro ne ntade, na obiara a ɔde ne nsa bɛka ahodwira nsu no nso ho begu fi akosi anwummere.
22 Anything the unclean person touches will be unclean, and anyone who touches it will be unclean until the evening.”
Na biribiara a obi a ne ho agu fi no beso mu no nso ho begu fi akosi anwummere.”
