Numbers 6

1 And the Lord spoke unto Moses, saying,

Awurade san ka kyerɛɛ Mose se,

2 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When either man or woman pronounce an especial vow, the vow of a Nazarite, to be abstinent in honor of the Lord:

“Ka kyerɛ Israelfo no se, sɛ ɔbarima anaa ɔbea kɔyɛ Nasareni de tew ne ho wɔ Awurade anim a,

3 Then shall he abstain from wine and strong drink, vinegar of wine, or vinegar of strong drink shall he not drink, and any infusion of grapes shall he not drink, and grapes, fresh or dried, shall he not eat.

ɛno akyi, saa bere a ɔwɔ ahotew no mu no, onni ho kwan sɛ ɔnom nsa a ɛyɛ den anaa bobesa anaa nsa a emu kaw.

4 All the days of his abstinence shall he eat nothing that is made of the grape-vine, from the kernels even to the husk.

Saa bere no mu no, onni ho kwan sɛ odi biribiara a efi bobe mu, sɛ ɛyɛ nʼaba anaa ne hono.

5 All the days of the vow of his abstinence no razor shall pass over his head: until the days be completed, in which he abstaineth in honor of the Lord, shall he be holy, letting grow untouched the hair of his head.

“Saa bere no mu no, ɛnsɛ sɛ oyi ne tinwi, efisɛ ɔyɛ kronkron na wɔatew ne ho ama Awurade; ɛno nti na ɛsɛ sɛ ɔma ne tinwi fuw no.

6 All the days of his abstinence in honor of the Lord shall he not come near any dead body.

“Ne bɔhyɛ no nna no mu a watew ne ho ama Awurade no, onni ho kwan sɛ ɔkɔ owufo ho.

7 On his father, or on his mother, on his brother, or on his sister, shall he not make himself unclean, when they die; because the consecration of his God is upon his head.

Sɛ owufo no yɛ nʼagya, ne na, ne nuabarima anaa ne nuabea koraa a, ɔnnkɔ ne ho, efisɛ ɔda so hyɛ ne bɔ a ɔhyɛ de tew ne ho maa Onyankopɔn no ase.

8 All the days of his abstinence is he holy unto the Lord.

Saa bere no mu nyinaa, wɔatew ne ho ama Awurade.

9 And if some one die very suddenly by him, and he thus defile his consecrated head: then shall he shave his head on the day of his being cleansed, on the seventh day shall he shave it.

“Sɛ obi wu tɔ ne nkyɛn de gu ne ho fi a, nnanson akyi no, ɛsɛ sɛ oyi ne tinwi a ɛho agu fi no. Afei, wobedwira ne ho afi fi a owufo no de aka no no ho.

10 And on the eighth day shall he bring two turtle-doves, or two young pigeons, to the priest, to the door of the tabernacle of the congregation:

Nʼadekyee a ɛyɛ da a ɛto so awotwe no, ɛsɛ sɛ ɔde nturukuku abien anaa mmorɔnoma mma abien brɛ ɔsɔfo wɔ Ahyiae Ntamadan no kwan ano.

11 And the priest shall prepare the one for a sin-offering, and the other for a burnt-offering, and make an atonement for him, because he hath sinned through the dead; and he shall hallow his head on that same day.

Ɔsɔfo no de nnomaa no mu baako bɛbɔ bɔne ho afɔre na ɔde ɔbaako abɔ ɔhyew afɔre, na ayɛ mpata ama nea ne ho agu fi no. Na da no ara, ɛsɛ sɛ oti ne bɔhyɛ mu na ɔsan ma ne tinwi no fuw bio.

12 And he shall consecrate unto the Lord [again] the days of his abstinence, and he shall bring a sheep of the first year for a trespass-offering; but the prior days shall not be counted, because his consecration hath been defiled.

Nna dodow a odii wɔ ne bɔhyɛ a edi kan no mu no nyinaa ahyew agu. Ɔbɛhyɛ Awurade bɔ foforo de afi ase, na ɔde odwennini ba a wadi afe bɛba abɛbɔ afɔdi ho afɔre.

13 And this is the law of the Nazarite: On the day when the days of his abstinence are completed, shall he present himself at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation;

“Da a ne bɔhyɛ a ɛtew ɔno ne Awurade ntam no wie du no, ɛsɛ sɛ ɔkɔ Ahyiae Ntamadan no ano.

14 And he shall bring his offering unto the Lord, one male sheep of the first year without blemish for a burnt-offering, and one ewe of the first year without blemish for a sin-offering, and one ram without blemish for a peace-offering,

Ɛhɔ na ɔbɛbɔ ɔhyew afɔre ama Awurade. Ɔde oguan ba a wadi afe a onnii dɛm na ɛbɛbɔ saa afɔre no. Ɛsɛ sɛ ɔde oguammere a wadi afe a onnii dɛm bɔ bɔne ho afɔre na ɔde odwennini a onnii dɛm bɔ asomdwoe afɔre.

15 And a basket of unleavened bread, cakes of fine flour mingled with oil, and unleavened wafers anointed with oil; and their meat-offering, and their drink-offerings.

Nneɛma a ɔde bɛka ho no ne brodo a mmɔkaw mfra mu, asikresiam tetare a wɔde ngo afra; brodo ntrantraa bi a mmɔkaw mfra mu a wɔde ngo ayɛ so a aduan ne nsa afɔrebɔde ka ho.

16 And the priest shall bring them near before the Lord, and he shall prepare his sin-offering, and his burnt-offering:

“Ɛsɛ sɛ Ɔsɔfo no de saa afɔrebɔde yi nyinaa ba Awurade anim na wabɛbɔ bɔne ho afɔre ne ɔhyew afɔre.

17 And the ram shall he prepare for a sacrifice of peace-offering unto the Lord, with the basket of unleavened bread; and the priest shall prepare his meat-offering and his drink-offering.

Ɛsɛ sɛ ɔde odwennini a wɔde no bɛbɔ asomdwoe afɔre a brodo kɛntɛnma a mmɔkaw nni mu nso ka ho na ɔde abɛbɔ aduan ne nsa afɔre.

18 And the Nazarite shall shave at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation his consecrated head; and he shall take the hair of his consecrated head, and put it on the fire which is under the sacrifice of the peace-offering.

“Afei, ɔhotuafo no beyi ne tinwi a afuw kuhaa no; ɛno ne nsɛnkyerɛnne a ɛkyerɛ sɛ ɔnhyɛ bɔhyɛ no ase bio. Wɔbɛyɛ eyi wɔ Ahyiae Ntamadan no ano, na wɔde nwi no agu asomdwoe afɔre a wɔrebɔ no wɔ gya mu no ahyew no.

19 And the priest shall take the shoulder of the ram when it is cooked, and one unleavened cake out of the basket, and one unleavened wafer, and he shall put them upon the hands of the Nazarite, after he hath shaved his consecrated [head].

“Wɔayi ɔbarima no tinwi no awie no, ɔsɔfo no de odwennini no basa a wɔatoto tetare a mmɔkaw nni mu no baako ne brodo ntrantraa a mmɔkaw nni mu bɛhyɛ ɔbarima no nsam.

20 And the priest shall make with them a waving before the Lord; it is a holy gift for the priest, together with the breast that was waved and the shoulder that was lifted up: and after that may the Nazarite drink wine.

Ɔsɔfo no behim akɔ nʼanim aba nʼakyi wɔ Awurade anim a ɛkyerɛ ma a ɔde rema Awurade. Ne nyinaa yɛ kyɛfa a ɛho tew ma ɔsɔfo no. Wɔbɛyɛ no sɛnea wɔyɛ odwennini no basa mu mfe mparow a wohim no wɔ Awurade anim no. Eyi akyi no, ɔhotuafo no tumi nom bobesa a ɛkyerɛ sɛ wɔayi no afi ne bɔhyɛ no mu.

21 This is the law of the Nazarite who hath vowed; his offering unto the Lord for his abstinence, besides that which he may be able to give: according to his vow which he may vow, so must he do in addition to what is required by the law of his abstinence.

“Eyinom ne mmara a ɛda hɔ ma Nasareni a wahyɛ nʼahofama ho bɔ awie, na ɔde afɔrebɔ ahorow brɛ Awurade. Saa afɔrebɔ yi akyi no, otumi de afɔrebɔde biara a ɔrebɛyɛ Nasareni no, ɔhyɛɛ ho bɔ sɛ ɔde bɛba no ba.”

22 And the Lord spoke unto Moses, saying,

Afei, Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose se,

23 Speak unto Aaron and unto his sons, saying, Thus shall ye bless the children of Israel, saying unto them,

“Ka kyerɛ Aaron ne ne mmabarima no se, ɛsɛ sɛ wohyira Israelfo yi sononko sɛ:

24 The Lord bless thee, and preserve thee;

“‘Awurade nhyira mo na ɔnhwɛ mo so.

25 The Lord make his face shine unto thee, and be gracious to thee;

Awurade ntew nʼanim nkyerɛ mo na ɔnnom mo.

26 The Lord lift up his countenance unto thee, and give thee peace.

Awurade mma nʼani so nhwɛ mo na ɔmma mo asomdwoe.’

27 And they shall put my name upon the children of Israel: and I will bless them.

“Saa na ɛsɛ sɛ Aaron ne ne mmabarima hyira Israelfo, na mʼankasa nso mehyira wɔn.”
