Leviticus 5
1 “And when a person sins, and has heard the voice of an oath, and he [is] witness, or has seen, or has known—if he does not declare [it], then he has borne his iniquity.
“‘Obiara a ɔnka bɔne bi a ɔnim ho biribi ho hwee no di ho fɔ.
2 Or when a person comes against anything unclean, or against a carcass of an unclean beast, or against a carcass of unclean livestock, or against a carcass of an unclean teeming creature, and it has been hidden from him, then he [is] unclean and guilty;
“‘Obiara a ɔde ne nsa ka adeɛ bi a amanneɛ kwan so, ɛho nte, te sɛ aboa bi a ne ho nteɛ no funu, sɛ ɔyɛ wiram aboa, sɛ ɔyɛ afieboa anaa aboa a ɔwea fam no, mpo sɛ wɔnnim sɛ wɔn ho agu fi a, wɔbɛfa no sɛ wɔn ho nte na wɔdi fɔ.
3 or when he comes against [the] uncleanness of man, even any of his uncleanness whereby he is unclean, and it has been hidden from him, and he has known, then he has been guilty.
Sɛ obi anhyɛ da na ɔde ne nsa ka biribi a ɛfiri onipa mu a ɛho nte na ɔte ne ho ase sɛ wayɛ saa adeɛ no a, ɔdi ho fɔ.
4 Or when a person swears, speaking wrongfully with the lips to do evil, or to do good, even anything which man speaks wrongfully with an oath, and it has been hid from him—when he has known then he has been guilty of one of these;
Sɛ obi ka ntam a, sɛ ntam no yɛ anaa ɛyɛ ntanhunu no, sɛ ɔhunu sɛ ɛyɛ ntanhunu a, ɔdi ho fɔ.
5 and it has been when he is guilty of one of these, that he has confessed concerning that which he has sinned,
Sɛ obi di yeinom bi ho fɔ a, ɛsɛ sɛ ɔka ne bɔne no mu nokorɛ
6 and has brought in his guilt-offering to YHWH for his sin which he has sinned, a female out of the flock, a lamb, or a kid of the goats, for a sin-offering, and the priest has made atonement for him because of his sin.
na ɔde odwanbereɛ anaa abirekyibereɛ bɔ afɔdeɛ ma Awurade. Ɔsɔfoɔ na ɔbɛbɔ onipa ko no bɔne no ho afɔdeɛ ama no. Ɔsɔfoɔ no nam saa afɔrebɔ yi so bɛpata ama no.
7 And if his hand does not reach to the sufficiency of a lamb, then he has brought in his guilt-offering—he who has sinned—two turtle-doves or two young pigeons to YHWH, one for a sin-offering and one for a burnt-offering;
“‘Sɛ ɔyɛ ohiani a ɔrennya odwammaa mfa mma Awurade a, ɔmfa nturukuku mmienu anaa mmorɔnoma mma mmienu mmra sɛ ne bɔne ho afɔrebɔdeɛ. Nnomaa no mu baako bɛyɛ ne bɔne no afɔrebɔdeɛ na ɔbaako ayɛ ne hyeɛ afɔrebɔdeɛ.
8 and he has brought them to the priest, and has brought near that which [is] for a sin-offering first, and has wrung off its head from its neck, and does not separate [it],
Ɔde bɛma ɔsɔfoɔ no na ɔde anomaa a ɔdi ɛkan no abɔ bɔne afɔdeɛ no. Ɔbɛkyinsa aboa no kɔn nanso ɔrente ne ti mfiri so,
9 and he has sprinkled of the blood of the sin-offering on the side of the altar, and that which is left of the blood is wrung out at the foundation of the altar; it [is] a sin-offering.
na wapete ne mogya no bi agu afɔrebukyia no ho. Mogya no nkaeɛ no, ɔbɛhwie agu afɔrebukyia no ase. Yei ne afɔrebɔ kwan a ɛpepa bɔne.
10 And he makes the second a burnt-offering, according to the ordinance, and the priest has made atonement for him because of his sin which he has sinned, and it has been forgiven him.
Ɔde anomaa a ɔtɔ so mmienu no bɛbɔ ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ sɛdeɛ ɔbɔɔ afɔdeɛ a ɛdi ɛkan no ara pɛ. Ɔsɔfoɔ no nam saa afɔrebɔ yi so bɛpata ama deɛ wayɛ bɔne no, na ɛnam so ma wɔde ne bɔne akyɛ no.
11 And if his hand does not reach to two turtle-doves, or to two young pigeons, then he has brought in his offering—he who has sinned—a tenth of an ephah of flour for a sin-offering; he puts no oil on it, nor does he put frankincense on it, for it [is] a sin-offering,
“‘Sɛ ɔyɛ ohiani buruburo a ɔrentumi mfa nturukuku anaa mmorɔnoma mma mmɛbɔ ne bɔne ho afɔdeɛ a, ɔde asikyiresiam papa lita mmienu ne fa bɛba sɛ ne bɔne ho afɔrebɔdeɛ. Ɛnsɛ sɛ ɔde ɔsra ngo fra. Ɛnsɛ sɛ ɔde aduhwam nso gu so, ɛfiri sɛ, ɛyɛ bɔne afɔdeɛ.
12 and he has brought it to the priest, and the priest has taken a handful from it of the fullness of his hand—its memorial—and has made incense on the altar, according to the fire-offerings of YHWH; it [is] a sin-offering.
Ɔde bɛma ɔsɔfoɔ no. Na ɔsɔfoɔ no asa ne nsabuo ma de asi ne nyinaa anan na wahye no afɔrebukyia no so ama Awurade sɛ afɔrebɔdeɛ biara. Yei bɛyɛ ne bɔne ho afɔrebɔ.
13 And the priest has made atonement for him, for his sin which he has sinned against one of these, and it has been forgiven him, and [the remnant] has been for the priest, like the present.”
Sɛ ɛba saa a, ɔsɔfoɔ no nam saa afɔrebɔ yi so bɛpata ama onipa no na wɔde ne bɔne no bɛkyɛ no. Asikyiresiam a aka no, wɔde bɛma ɔsɔfoɔ no te sɛ afudeɛ afɔrebɔdeɛ no ara pɛ.’”
14 And YHWH speaks to Moses, saying,
Awurade hyɛɛ mmara maa Mose sɛ,
15 “When a person commits a trespass, and has sinned through ignorance against the holy things of YHWH, then he has brought in his guilt-offering to YHWH, a ram, a perfect one, out of the flock, at your valuation [in] silver—shekels by the shekel of the holy place—for a guilt-offering.
“Sɛ obi anhyɛ da na ɔgu ade kronkron ho fi a, ɔde odwennini a ne ho nni dɛm a ɔfata sɛ mpatadeɛ wɔ ne fɔ no ho bɛba abɛbɔ Awurade afɔdeɛ.
16 And that which he has sinned against the holy thing he repays, and is adding to it its fifth, and has given it to the priest, and the priest makes atonement for him with the ram of the guilt-offering, and it has been forgiven him.
Ade kronkron a onipa no guu ho fi no nso, ɔde foforɔ bɛsi anan na watua dekodeɛ no boɔ ɔha mu nkyɛmu aduonu aka ho sɛ asotwe. Ɔde ne nyinaa bɛma ɔsɔfoɔ na ɔde odwennini no abɔ bɔne afɔdeɛ no na wɔde ne bɔne akyɛ no.
17 And when any person sins, and has done [something against] one of all the commands of YHWH [regarding things] which are not to be done, and has not known, then he has been guilty, and has borne his iniquity.
“Sɛ obi anhyɛ da na ɔbu Awurade mmara no bi so a, ɔdi fɔ enti ɛsɛ sɛ ɔtua afɔbudeɛ a Mose bɛhyɛ no.
18 Then he has brought in a ram, a perfect one, out of the flock, at your valuation, for a guilt-offering, to the priest; and the priest has made atonement for him, for his ignorance in which he has erred and he has not known, and it has been forgiven him;
Ɛsɛ sɛ ɔde odwennini anaa ɔpapo a ɔnni dɛm brɛ ɔsɔfoɔ sɛ ne bɔne no ho afɔrebɔdeɛ. Na ɔsɔfoɔ no de ayɛ mpatadeɛ ama no sɛdeɛ bɔne biara a ɔyɛeɛ a wanhyɛ da no, na wɔde ne bɔne bɛkyɛ no.
19 it [is] a guilt-offering; he has certainly been guilty before YHWH.”
Ɛsɛ sɛ wɔbɔ saa afɔdeɛ no sɛ afɔdie afɔrebɔ, ɛfiri sɛ, ɔdi fɔ pefee wɔ Awurade anim.”
