< Numbers 5 >

1 And the Lord spake vnto Moses, saying,
Eyi ne mmara a Awurade san hyɛ maa Mose:
2 Commaund the children of Israel that they put out of the hoste euery leper, and euery one that hath an issue, and whosoeuer is defiled by the dead.
“Ka kyerɛ Israelfo no se, ɛsɛ sɛ wɔpam akwatafo nyinaa fi atenae hɔ. Wɔn a kuru atutu wɔn ne wɔn a wɔde wɔn nsa akɔka funu nti wɔn ho agu fi nyinaa no, ɛsɛ sɛ wɔpam wɔn.
3 Both male and female shall ye put out: out of the hoste shall yee put them, that they defile not their tentes among whome I dwell.
Mmarima ne mmea nyinaa ka ho. Yi wɔn nyinaa fi hɔ, sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ na atenae a me ne mo bɛtena no ho rengu fi.”
4 And the children of Israel did so, and put them out of the host, euen as the Lord had commanded Moses, so did the children of Israel.
Wodii Awurade mmara no so.
5 And the Lord spake vnto Moses, saying,
Afei, Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose se,
6 Speake vnto the children of Israel, When a man or woman shall commit any sinne that men commit, and transgresse against the Lord, when that person shall trespasse,
“Ka kyerɛ Israelfo no se, sɛ ɔbarima o, ɔbea o, odi Awurade huammɔ a, ɛyɛ bɔne.
7 Then they shall confesse their sinne which they haue done, and shall restore the domage thereof with his principall, and put the fift part of it more thereto, and shall giue it vnto him, against whom he hath trespassed.
Ɛsɛ sɛ ɔka ne bɔne na ade a owiae no, otua ho ka nyinaa na ɔsan de ɛho ka no nkyɛmu ɔha mu aduonu ka ho de ma onipa ko a ɔbɔɔ no korɔn no.
8 But if the man haue no kinseman, to whom he shoulde restore the domage, the domage shall be restored to the Lord for the Priests vse besides the ramme of the atonement, whereby hee shall make atonement for him.
Na sɛ onipa ko a wɔyɛɛ no bɔne no awu na onni obusuani biara a ɔbɛn no a wobetua ho ka ama no, na ɛsɛ sɛ wotua ma ɔsɔfo a, ɛsɛ sɛ wɔde odwennini ka ho sɛ mpatade. Ɛyɛ Awurade de.
9 And euery offring of all the holy thinges of the children of Israel, which they bring vnto the Priest, shalbe his.
Akyɛde kronkron a Israelfo de bɛkyɛ ɔsɔfo no yɛ ne de.
10 And euery mans halowed things shall bee his: that is, whatsoeuer any man giueth the Priest, it shalbe his.
Ɔsɔfo biara bɛfa akyɛde kronkron biara a ne nsa bɛka.”
11 And the Lord spake vnto Moses, saying,
Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose se,
12 Speake vnto the children of Israel, and say vnto them, If any mans wife turne to euill, and commit a trespasse against him,
“Ka kyerɛ Israelfo no se, sɛ ɔbarima bi yere kɔbɔ aguaman
13 So that an other man lie with her fleshly, and it bee hid from the eyes of her husband, and kept close, and yet she be defiled, and there be no witnesse against her, neither she taken with the maner,
nanso onhu asɛm no mu nokware na onya ɔdanseni
14 If he be moued with a ielous minde, so that he is ielous ouer his wife, which is defiled, or if he haue a ielous minde, so that he is ielous ouer his wife, which is not defiled,
na ɔtwe ho ninkunu na ɔnte ne ho ase a,
15 Then shall the man bring his wife to the Priest, and bring her offering with her, the tenth part of an Ephah of barly meale, but he shall not powre oyle vpon it, nor put incense thereon: for it is an offring of ielousie, an offring for a remembrance, calling the sinne to minde:
ɔbarima no de ne yere no bɛkɔ ɔsɔfo anim a ɔbea no ho afɔrebɔde a ɛyɛ atokosiam a wɔmfaa ohuam ngo mfrae lita abien ka ho. Efisɛ ɛyɛ ninkutwe afɔrebɔ. Ɛno na ɛbɛma nokware ada adi ama wɔahu sɛ ɔbea no di fɔ anaa odi bem.
16 And the Priest shall bring her, and set her before the Lord.
“Ɔsɔfo no de ɔbea no bɛba Awurade anim,
17 Then the Priest shall take the holy water in an earthen vessel, and of the dust that is in the floore of the Tabernacle, euen the Priest shall take it and put it into the water.
na wasaw Ahyiae Ntamadan no mu mfutuma de afra nsu kronkron a egu asuhina kɛse bi mu no.
18 After, the Priest shall set the woman before the Lord, and vncouer the womans head, and put the offring of the memorial in her hands: it is the ielousie offering, and the Priest shall haue bitter and cursed water in his hand,
Ɔbɛsan ne ti a wakyekyere no na ɔde ninkunu afɔrebɔde no agu ne nsam de ahwɛ sɛ ɔbarima no nsusuwii no yɛ nokware ampa ara anaasɛ ɛnyɛ nokware. Ɔsɔfo no begyina nʼanim a okura nsu nwenweenwen a ɛde mmusu ba no.
19 And the Priest shall charge her by an othe, and say vnto the woman, If no man haue lien with thee, neither thou hast turned to vncleannesse from thine husband, be free from this bitter and cursed water.
Ɔbɛma no aka ntam sɛ onnim asɛm no ho hwee na waka akyerɛ no se, sɛ wo ne ɔbarima biara nnae ka wo kunu nko ara ho de a, ɛno de, wo ho ntew mfi nsu nwenweenwen a ɛde mmusu ba yi ho. Na sɛ woabɔ aguaman a, ɛno de, Awurade bɛdome wo wɔ wo nkurɔfo mu. Ɔbɛma wo srɛ aporɔw na wo yafunu ahon. Na ɔbea no bɛka se, ‘Yiw, saa na ɛsɛ sɛ ɛba.’
20 But if thou hast turned from thine husband, and so art defiled, and some man hath lyen with thee beside thine husband,
21 (Then the Priest shall charge the woman with an othe of cursing, and the Priest shall say vnto the woman) The Lord make thee to be accursed, and detestable for the othe among thy people, and the Lord cause thy thigh to rot, and thy belly to swell:
22 And that this cursed water may goe into thy bowels, to cause thy belly to swell, and thy thigh to rot. Then the woman shall answere, Amen, Amen.
23 After, the Priest shall write these curses in a booke, and shall blot them out with the bitter water,
“Ɔsɔfo no bɛkyerɛw nnome yi nyinaa agu nhoma bi mu na wahohoro agu nsu nwenweenwen no mu.
24 And shall cause the woman to drinke ye bitter and cursed water, and the cursed water, turned into bitternesse, shall enter into her.
Sɛ ɛsɛ sɛ ɔbea no nom nsu no na sɛ ɔnom wɔ bere a wayɛ bɔne a, ɛyɛ nwenweenwen wɔ ne mu.
25 Then the Priest shall take the ielousie offring out of the womans hand, and shall shake the offring before the Lord, and offer it vpon ye altar.
Afei, ɔsɔfo no begye ninkunu afɔrebɔde no afi ɔbea no nsam na wahinhim wɔ Awurade anim na ɔde akɔ afɔremuka no so.
26 And the Priest shall take an handfull of the offring for a memorial thereof, and burne it vpon the altar, and afterwarde make the woman drinke the water.
Ɔbɛsaw ne nsa ma de asi ne nyinaa anan na wahyew no wɔ afɔremuka no so na wama ɔbea no anom nsu no.
27 When yee haue made her drinke the water, (if she bee defiled and haue trespassed against her husband) then shall the cursed water, turned into bitternesse, enter into her, and her belly shall swell, and her thigh shall rot, and the woman shall be accursed among her people.
Sɛ ne ho agu fi na wabɔ aguaman atia ne kunu a, nsu a wanom no bɛyɛ nwenweenwen wɔ ne mu na ne yafunu ahon na ne srɛ aporɔw na wayɛ nnome wɔ ne nkurɔfo mu.
28 But if the woman bee not defiled, but bee cleane, she shalbe free and shall conceiue and beare.
Sɛ ɔyɛ kronkron a ɔmmɔɔ aguaman a, wɔrenhaw no, na ɛrenkyɛ, obenyinsɛn.
29 This is the law of ielousie, when a wife turneth from her husband and is defiled,
“Eyi ne mmara a ɛfa ɔbea a ne bra nye na ne kunu twe ne ho ninkunu
30 Or when a man is moued with a ielous minde being ielous ouer his wife then shall he bring the woman before the Lord, and the Priest shall do to her according to al this lawe,
de hwehwɛ mu hu sɛ odi ne kunu nokware anaa onni no nokware no ho. Ɔde no bɛba Awurade anim na ɔsɔfo no adi dwuma a wɔabobɔ so no nyinaa.
31 And the man shalbe free from sinne, but this woman shall beare her iniquitie.
Wɔrenni ne kunu no asɛm wɔ baabiara sɛ wama ɔyare bɔne bi aba ne yere so, efisɛ ɛyɛ ɔno ara na ɔma ɛbaa saa.”
