Leviticus 14
1 And YHWH speaks to Moses, saying,
Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose sɛ,
2 “This is a law of the leper, in the day of his cleansing, that he has been brought to the priest,
“Ɛda a wɔbɛdwira ɔkwatani ho no, ɛho mmara nie: Wɔde no bɛkɔ akɔma ɔsɔfoɔ,
3 and the priest has gone out to the outside of the camp, and the priest has seen, and behold, the plague of leprosy has ceased from the leper,
na ɔsɔfoɔ no ahwɛ no wɔ sraban no akyi. Na sɛ ɔsɔfoɔ no hunu sɛ kwata no agyae a,
4 and the priest has commanded, and he has taken for him who is to be cleansed, two clean living birds, and cedar wood, and scarlet, and hyssop.
ɔbɛbisa nnomaa mmienu bi a wɔwe, na afei wɔde ntweneduro, koogyan ahoma ne hisope mman a wɔde bɛyɛ ahodwira ahyɛdeɛ ama ɔkwatani no abrɛ no.
5 And the priest has commanded, and he has slaughtered one bird on an earthen vessel, over running water;
Ɔsɔfoɔ no bɛka ama wɔakum nnomaa no mu baako wɔ ayowaa a nsuo wɔ mu so.
6 [as for] the living bird, he takes it, and the cedar wood, and the scarlet, and the hyssop, and has dipped them and the living bird in the blood of the slaughtered bird, over the running water,
Na anomaa a wɔnnya nkum no no nso, wɔde ɔno ne ntweneduro no ne koogyan ahoma no ne hisope mman no bɛhyɛ anomaa a wɔkumm no no mogya no mu.
7 and he has sprinkled on him who is to be cleansed from the leprosy seven times, and has pronounced him clean, and has sent out the living bird over the face of the field.
Na ɔsɔfoɔ no apete mogya no agu ɔkwatani a ne ho afiri no so mprɛnson, na wapae mu aka sɛ ne ho ate na wagyaa anomaa a wɔnkum no no.
8 And he who is to be cleansed has washed his garments, and has shaved all his hair, and has bathed with water, and has been clean, and afterward he comes into the camp, and has dwelt at the outside of his tent [for] seven days.
“Na ɔyarefoɔ a ne ho atɔ no no bɛsi ne ntoma nyinaa. Ɔbɛyi ne ho nwi nyinaa nso. Ɔbɛdware na wasane abɛtena baabi a kane no na ɔte hɔ bio; nanso ɛsɛ sɛ ɔtena ne ntomadan akyi nnanson.
9 And it has been, on the seventh day—he shaves all his hair, his head, and his beard, and his eyebrows, even all his hair he shaves, and he has washed his garments, and has bathed his flesh with water, and has been clean.
Nnanson no so no, ɔbɛyi ne ho nwi nyinaa bio, ɔbɛyi nʼabɔgyesɛ ayi nʼanintɔn nwi na wayi ne ho nwi a aka nyinaa, na wadware, na afei wɔapae mu aka sɛ ne ho ate.
10 And on the eighth day he takes two lambs, perfect ones, and one ewe-lamb, daughter of a year, a perfect one, and three-tenth parts of flour [for] a present, mixed with oil, and one log of oil.
“Ɛda a ɛdi so a ɛyɛ nnawɔtwe so no, ɔbɛfa nnwammaa anini mmienu a wɔn ho nni dɛm ne odwammaa bereɛ baako a ɔno nso ho nni dɛm, asikyiresiam muhumuhu lita nsia a wɔde ngo afra ne ngo a wɔmfa mfraa hwee lita fa.
11 And the priest who is cleansing has caused the man who is to be cleansed to stand with them before YHWH, at the opening of the Tent of Meeting,
Afei ɔsɔfoɔ a ɔbɛhwehwɛ ɔyarefoɔ no ho ahwɛ sɛ ne ho atɔ no no de onipa no ne nʼafɔrebɔdeɛ bɛba Awurade anim wɔ Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no ano.
12 and the priest has taken one male lamb, and has brought it near for a guilt-offering, also the log of oil, and has waved them [as] a wave-offering before YHWH.
“Ɔsɔfoɔ no bɛfa nnwammaa no baako ne ngotoa baako no na ɔde ama Awurade sɛ ɛfɔdie afɔrebɔ a wɔhim no wɔ afɔrebukyia no anim.
13 And he has slaughtered the lamb in the place where he slaughters the sin-offering and the burnt-offering, in the holy place; for like the sin-offering, the guilt-offering is for the priest; it [is] most holy.
Afei, wɔbɛkum odwammaa no wɔ beaeɛ a wɔbɔ bɔne ne ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ no wɔ kronkronbea hɔ. Wɔde saa afɔdie afɔrebɔdeɛ yi bɛma ɔsɔfoɔ no sɛdeɛ wɔyɛ no bɔne afɔrebɔ mu no ara pɛ. Ɛyɛ afɔrebɔ a ɛyɛ kronkron ankasa.
14 And the priest has taken of the blood of the guilt-offering, and the priest has put [it] on the tip of the right ear of him who is to be cleansed, and on the thumb of his right hand, and on the great toe of his right foot;
Ɔsɔfoɔ no bɛfa saa ɛfɔdie afɔrebɔdeɛ mogya na ɔde akeka ɔyarefoɔ a wɔrete ne ho no aso nifa ase ne ne nsa nifa kokurobetie ne ne nan nifa kokurobetie.
15 and the priest has taken of the log of oil, and has poured [it] on the left palm of the priest,
Afei, ɔsɔfoɔ no bɛfa ngo no bi ahwie agu ne nsa benkum mu
16 and the priest has dipped his right finger in the oil which [is] on his left palm, and has sprinkled of the oil with his finger seven times before YHWH.
na ɔde ne nsa nifa abɔ mu, na watu apete mprɛnson wɔ Awurade anim.
17 And of the remainder of the oil which [is] on his palm, the priest puts [it] on the tip of the right ear of him who is to be cleansed, and on the thumb of his right hand, and on the great toe of his right foot, on the blood of the guilt-offering;
Ngo no a ɛbɛka ne nsa benkum mu no, ɔsɔfoɔ no de bɛka onipa no aso nifa ase ne ne nsa nifa kokurobetie ne ne nan nifa kokurobetie sɛdeɛ ɔde ɛfɔdie mogya yɛeɛ wɔ ɛfɔdie afɔrebɔ no mu no ara pɛ.
18 and the remnant of the oil which [is] on the palm of the priest, he puts [it] on the head of him who is to be cleansed, and the priest has made atonement for him before YHWH.
Ɔde ngo no nkaeɛ a ɛwɔ ne nsam no bɛfɔ ɔbarima no tiri ho. Yei bɛkyerɛ sɛ, ɔsɔfoɔ no de ne ho ayɛ mpatadeɛ ama onipa no wɔ Awurade anim.
19 And the priest has made the sin-offering, and has made atonement for him who is to be cleansed from his uncleanness, and afterward he slaughters the burnt-offering;
“Afei, ɛsɛ sɛ ɔsɔfoɔ no bɔ bɔne afɔdeɛ na ɔsane yɛ mpatadeɛ ho adeɛ ma onipa a wɔrehohoro ne ho afiri ne kwata mu no ho; ɛno akyi, ɔsɔfoɔ no bɛkum ɔhyeɛ afɔrebɔdeɛ no
20 and the priest has caused the burnt-offering to ascend, also the present, on the altar, and the priest has made atonement for him, and he has been clean.
na ɔde abɔ ɛne atokoɔ afɔdeɛ wɔ afɔrebukyia no so de ayɛ mpatadeɛ ama ɔbarima no na afei, wapae mu aka sɛ ne ho afiri.
21 And if he [is] poor, and his hand is not reaching [these things], then he has taken one lamb [for] a guilt-offering, for a wave-offering, to make atonement for him, and one-tenth part of flour mixed with oil for a present, and a log of oil,
“Sɛ ɔyɛ ohiani a ɔrentumi ntɔ nnwammaa mmienu no a, ɛnneɛ, ɔde odwammaanini baako bɛbɔ ɛfɔdie afɔdeɛ no de ama Awurade sɛ mpatadeɛ a wɔhim no afɔrebukyia no anim; na wɔde asikyiresiam fitaa muhumuhu lita mmienu ne fa a wɔde ngo afra de abɔ atokoɔ afɔdeɛ no a ngo akɔtoa ka ho.
22 and two turtle-doves, or two young pigeons, which his hand reaches to, and one has been a sin-offering and one a burnt-offering;
Ɛno akyi, ɔde mmorɔnoma mmienu anaa nturukuku mma mmienu mu biara a ɔbɛnya no mu baako bɛbɔ bɔne afɔdeɛ na ɔde baako a ɔbɛka no nso abɔ ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ.
23 and he has brought them in on the eighth day for his cleansing to the priest, to the opening of the Tent of Meeting, before YHWH.
“Ɛda a ɛtɔ so nnwɔtwe no, ɔde ne nyinaa bɛkɔ akɔma ɔsɔfoɔ no wɔ Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no ano na ɔsɔfoɔ no de adwira no wɔ Awurade anim.
24 And the priest has taken the lamb of the guilt-offering, and the log of oil, and the priest has waved them [as] a wave-offering before YHWH;
Ɔsɔfoɔ no bɛfa odwammaa no de abɔ ɛfɔdie afɔdeɛ. Ɔde ngo toa ma bɛka ho na wahim no afɔrebukyia no anim de akyerɛ sɛ, wɔde rema Awurade.
25 and he has slaughtered the lamb of the guilt-offering, and the priest has taken of the blood of the guilt-offering, and has put [it] on the tip of the right ear of him who is to be cleansed, and on the thumb of his right hand, and on the great toe of his right foot;
Afei, wɔbɛkum odwammaa no de no abɔ ɛfɔdie afɔdeɛ na ɔde ne mogya no bi akeka ɔbarima a wɔredwira no no aso nifa ase. Ɔde mogya no bi bɛka ne nsa nifa kokurobetie ne ne nan nifa kokurobetie.
26 and the priest pours of the oil on the left palm of the priest;
Ɔsɔfoɔ no bɛhwie ngo agu ɔno ara ne nsa benkum mu
27 and the priest has sprinkled with his right finger of the oil which [is] on his left palm, seven times before YHWH.
na ɔde ne nsateaa nifa abɔ mu apete bi mprɛnson wɔ Awurade anim.
28 And the priest has put of the oil which [is] on his palm, on the tip of the right ear of him who is to be cleansed, and on the thumb of his right hand, and on the great toe of his right foot, on the place of the blood of the guilt-offering;
Na ɛsɛ sɛ ɔde ngo a ɛwɔ ne nsam no bi ka ɔbarima no aso nifa ase ne ne nsa nifa kokurobetie ne ne nan nifa kokurobetie sɛdeɛ ɔyɛɛ mogya no ɛberɛ a ɔrebɔ ɛfɔdie afɔdeɛ no.
29 and he puts the remnant of the oil which [is] on the palm of the priest on the head of him who is to be cleansed, to make atonement for him, before YHWH.
Ngo no a ɛbɛka wɔ ne nsam no, ɛsɛ sɛ ɔde fɔ ɔbarima a wɔredwira no no tiri ho de yɛ mpatadeɛ wɔ Awurade anim.
30 And he has made one of the turtle-doves or of the young pigeons (from that which his hand reaches to,
Afei, ɛsɛ sɛ ɔde nturukuku mmienu anaa mmorɔnoma mmienu no mu biara a ɔtumi tɔeɛ no ba.
31 [even] that which his hand reaches to), one a sin-offering and one a burnt-offering, besides the present, and the priest has made atonement for him who is to be cleansed before YHWH.
Wɔde mmienu a ɔnyaeɛ no mu baako bɛbɔ bɔne afɔdeɛ na baako a aka no, ɔde abɔ ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ a saa ɛberɛ no ara mu wɔbɛbɔ atokoɔ afɔdeɛ nso, na ɔsɔfoɔ no bɛyɛ mpatadeɛ ama ɔbarima no wɔ Awurade anim.”
32 This [is] a law of him in whom [is] a plague of leprosy, whose hand does not reach to his cleansing.”
Yeinom ne mmara a ɛfa wɔn a wɔte wɔn ho ma wɔn ho fi kwata mu nanso wɔntumi mfa afɔrebɔdeɛ a ɛho hia no nyinaa mma no.
33 And YHWH speaks to Moses and to Aaron, saying,
Afei, Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose ne Aaron sɛ,
34 “When you come into the land of Canaan, which I am giving to you for a possession, and I have put a plague of leprosy in a house [in] the land of your possession,
“Sɛ moduru Kanaan asase a mede ama mo no so, na sɛ mede kwata kɔ afie bi mu a,
35 then he whose the house [is] has come in and declared [it] to the priest, saying, Some plague has appeared to me in the house;
ɛnneɛ, efiewura no nyi ne ho adi nkyerɛ ɔsɔfoɔ no na ɔnka sɛ, ‘Ɛyɛ me sɛ kwata wɔ me fie ha!’
36 and the priest has commanded, and they have prepared the house before the priest comes in to see the plague (that all which [is] in the house is not unclean), and afterward the priest comes in to see the house;
Ɔsɔfoɔ no bɛhyɛ ama wɔatu efie hɔ nneɛma nyinaa ansa na wahwɛ hɔ sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a, sɛ ɔka sɛ kwata wɔ fie hɔ a, ɛrengu biribi foforɔ ho fi wɔ hɔ.
37 and he has seen the plague, and behold, the plague [is] in the walls of the house, hollow streaks, greenish or reddish, and their appearance [is] lower than the wall,
Sɛ ɔhunu nsensaneɛ ahahammono anaa kɔkɔɔ wɔ efie no afasuo ho a anonom kɔ afasuo no mu a,
38 and the priest has gone out of the house to the opening of the house, and has shut up the house [for] seven days.
ɔbɛto efie no mu nnanson
39 And the priest has turned back on the seventh day, and has seen, and behold, the plague has spread in the walls of the house,
na ne nnanson so no, wasane aba bio abɛhwɛ. Na sɛ nsensaneɛ awurawura afasuo no mu a,
40 and the priest has commanded, and they have drawn out the stones in which the plague [is], and have cast them to the outside of the city, to an unclean place;
ɛnneɛ, ɔsɔfoɔ no bɛhyɛ ama wɔawerɛwerɛ nsisiiɛ no afiri hɔ na wɔato nwerɛwerɛeɛ no agu baabi a ɛhɔ ho nte wɔ kuro no akyi baabi.
41 and he causes the house to be scraped all around inside, and they have poured out the clay which they have scraped off, at the outside of the city, at an unclean place;
Afei, ɔbɛhyɛ ama afasuo a ɛwɔ efie no mu no, wɔawerɛwerɛ no yie na wɔato nwerɛwerɛeɛ no agu baabi a ɛhɔ nte wɔ kuro no akyi baabi.
42 and they have taken other stones, and brought [them] to the place of the stones, and he takes other clay and has coated the house.
Na wɔde aboɔ foforɔ bi abɛhyɛ deɛ wɔwerɛwerɛeɛ no anan na wɔde dɔteɛ foforɔ asra efie no ho.
43 And if the plague returns, and has broken out in the house, after he has drawn out the stones, and after the scraping of the house, and after the coating,
“Na sɛ nsisiiɛ no ba bio a,
44 then the priest has come in and seen, and behold, the plague has spread in the house; it [is] a fretting leprosy in the house; it [is] unclean.
ɔsɔfoɔ no bɛba bio abɛhwɛ na sɛ ɔhunu sɛ nsisiiɛ no atrɛtrɛ a, na ɛyɛ kwata na ɛkyerɛ sɛ efie no ho nte.
45 And he has broken down the house, its stones, and its wood, and all the clay of the house, and he has brought [them] forth to the outside of the city, to an unclean place.
Sɛ ɛba saa a, ɔbɛhyɛ ama wɔabubu efie no agu. Wɔbɛtwe mmubuiɛ no mu aboɔ, nnua ne dɔteɛ no nyinaa afiri kuro no mu de akɔgu kuro no akyi baabi a ɛhɔ ho nte.
46 And he who is going into the house all the days he has shut it up, is unclean until the evening;
“Obiara a ɔbɛwura efie a wɔato mu no mu no ho nte kɔsi anwummerɛ.
47 and he who is lying in the house washes his garments; and he who is eating in the house washes his garments.
Na obiara a ɔbɛda hɔ anaa ɔbɛdidi wɔ efie hɔ no bɛsi ne nneɛma nyinaa.
48 And if the priest certainly comes in, and has seen, and behold, the plague has not spread in the house after the coating of the house, then the priest has pronounced the house clean, for the plague has been healed.
“Na sɛ wɔsra efie no ho bio na ɔsɔfoɔ no bɛhwɛ na nsisiiɛ no mmaa bio a, ɔbɛpae mu aka sɛ wɔate efie no ho na kwata no nso kɔ.
49 And he has taken two birds, and cedar wood, and scarlet, and hyssop for the cleansing of the house;
Ɔbɛdi efie no ahodwira ho dwuma. Ɔde nnomaa mmienu, sida dua, asaawa kɔkɔɔ ne hisope mman na ɛbɛdi saa dwuma no.
50 and he has slaughtered one bird on an earthen vessel, over running water;
Ɔbɛkum nnomaa no baako wɔ nsu pa a ɛwɔ ayowaa mu so,
51 and he has taken the cedar wood, and the hyssop, and the scarlet, and the living bird, and has dipped them in the blood of the slaughtered bird, and in the running water, and has sprinkled against the house seven times.
na ɔde sida dua no ne hisope mman ne ahoma kɔkɔɔ ne anomaa a wɔnkum no no anu anomaa a wakum no nsu pa no so no mogya mu na wɔde apete efie no mprɛnson.
52 And he has cleansed the house with the blood of the bird, and with the running water, and with the living bird, and with the cedar wood, and with the hyssop, and with the scarlet;
Wɔyɛ yei de te efie no ho.
53 and he has sent the living bird away to the outside of the city to the face of the field, and has made atonement for the house, and it has been clean.
Afei, ɔbɛgyae anomaa a ɔnwuiɛ no ama watu akɔ kuro no akyi baabi. Yei ne ɛkwan a wɔfa so de yɛ mpatadeɛ de ma efie sane de dwira ho no.”
54 This [is] the law for every plague of the leprosy and for scale,
Yeinom ne mmara a ɛfa mmeammea a kwata ba hɔ ho.
55 and for leprosy of a garment, and of a house,
Sɛ ɛyɛ atadeɛ mu anaa efie mu,
56 and for a rising, and for a scab, and for a bright spot—
anaa honam ani nhonhonoeɛ, anaa ɔhyehyeɛ mu mpumpunnya anaa honam ani baabi a ɛhɔ ayɛ hyɛnn.
57 to direct in the day of being unclean, and in the day of being clean; this [is] the law of the leprosy.”
Saa ɛkwan yi so na wɔbɛfa ahunu sɛ ɛyɛ kwata anaa ɛnyɛ kwata. Yei enti na wɔhyɛɛ saa mmara yi.
