Numbers 19
1 And YHWH speaks to Moses and to Aaron, saying,
Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose ne Aaron sɛ,
2 “This [is] a statute of the law which YHWH has commanded, saying, Speak to the sons of Israel, and they bring a red cow to you, a perfect one, in which there is no blemish, on which no yoke has gone up;
“Me som ho mmara foforɔ nie: Ka kyerɛ Israelfoɔ sɛ wɔmfa nantwie ba bereɛ kɔkɔɔ a ɔnnii dɛm na ɔntwee nneɛma da mmrɛ me.
3 and you have given it to Eleazar the priest, and he has brought it out to the outside of the camp, and has slaughtered it before him.
Momfa no mma ɔsɔfoɔ Eleasa na ɔde no bɛkɔ atenaeɛ no akyi baabi na obi akum no ɛberɛ a ɔno ara nso rehwɛ.
4 And Eleazar the priest has taken of its blood with his finger, and has sprinkled [it] toward the front of the face of the Tent of Meeting from its blood seven times;
Eleasa de ne nsateaa bɛbɔ mogya no mu na ɔde apete Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no anim mprɛnson.
5 and [one] has burned the cow before his eyes; her skin, and her flesh, and her blood, besides her dung, he burns;
Afei, ɔbɛhwɛ ama obi ahye nantwie ba no. Ɔbɛhye ne ho nwoma, ne nam, ne mogya ne nʼagyanan nyinaa.
6 and the priest has taken cedar wood, and hyssop, and scarlet, and has cast [them] into the midst of the burning of the cow;
Na ɛgu so rehye no, Eleasa bɛfa odum dua ne hisope mman ne asaawa kɔkɔɔ na wato agu nneɛma a wɔrehye no mu.
7 and the priest has washed his garments, and has bathed his flesh with water, and afterward comes into the camp, and the priest is unclean until the evening;
Yei akyi, ɛsɛ sɛ ɔsi ne ntadeɛ na ɔdware na afei ɔkɔ atenaeɛ hɔ a wɔfa no sɛ ne ho agu fi kɔsi anwummerɛ.
8 and he who is burning it washes his garments with water, and has bathed his flesh with water, and is unclean until the evening.
Onipa a ɔhyee aboa no nso, ɛsɛ sɛ ɔsi ne ntadeɛ, na ɔdware, ɛfiri sɛ, ɔno nso ho agu fi kɔsi anwummerɛ.
9 And a clean man has gathered the ashes of the cow, and has placed [them] at the outside of the camp in a clean place, and it has become a charge for the congregation of the sons of Israel for waters of separation—it [is for] sin;
“Afei, obi a ne ho nguu fi no bɛsesa aboa a wɔhyee no no nsõ de akɔ atenaeɛ no akyi baabi a ɛhɔ yɛ kronkron na wakɔkora no wɔ hɔ. Israelfoɔ no de bɛgu wɔn nsuo a wɔde dwira wɔn ho de pam wɔn bɔne no mu.
10 and he who is gathering the ashes of the heifer has washed his garments and is unclean until the evening; and it has been to the sons of Israel and to the sojourner who is sojourning in their midst for a continuous statute.
Onipa a ɔbɛboaboa nantwie ba no nsõ no ano no nso, ɛsɛ sɛ ɔsi ne ntadeɛ, ɛfiri sɛ, ne ho gu fi kɔsi anwummerɛ; yei yɛ mmara a ɛwɔ hɔ daa a ɛho wɔ mfasoɔ ma Israelfoɔ no ne ahɔhoɔ a wɔte wɔn mu no nyinaa.
11 He who is coming against the dead body of any man is unclean [for] seven days;
“Obiara a ɔbɛsɔ efunu mu no ho bɛgu fi nnanson.
12 he cleanses himself for it on the third day and on the seventh day, [and] he is clean; and if he does not cleanse himself on the third day and on the seventh day, he is not clean.
Na ne nnansa ne ne nnanson so no, ɔde nsuo a wɔde dwira wɔn ho no adwira ne ho ama ne ho ate. Sɛ ne nnansa so wanyɛ yei a, ne nnanson akyi nyinaa na ne ho agu fi.
13 Anyone who is coming against the dead, against the body of man who dies, and does not cleanse himself, he has defiled the Dwelling Place of YHWH, and that person has been cut off from Israel, for water of separation is not sprinkled on him; he is unclean; his uncleanness [is] still on him.
Wɔn a wɔsɔ efunu mu na wɔnnwira wɔn ho sɛdeɛ makyerɛ yi no, wɔgu Awurade Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan ho fi, na ɛsɛ sɛ wɔyi saa nnipa no firi Israelfoɔ mu. Esiane sɛ wɔamfa ahodwira nsuo no bi ampete wɔn ho no enti, wɔn ho agu fi ara.
14 This [is] the law when a man dies in a tent: everyone who is coming into the tent and all that [is] in the tent are unclean [for] seven days;
“Sɛ obi wu wɔ ntomadan mu a, ɛho mmara nie: Obiara a ɔbɛwura saa ntomadan no mu ne wɔn a wɔwɔ mu dada ansa na onipa no rewuo no nyinaa ho gu fi nnanson.
15 and every open vessel which has no covering of thread on it is unclean.
Adeɛ biara a wɔde biribi gu mu a ɛnni mmuasoɔ no nso ho gu fi.
16 And everyone on the face of the field who comes against the pierced of a sword, or against the dead, or against a bone of man, or against a grave, is unclean [for] seven days;
“Sɛ obi a ɔwɔ abɔntene de ne nsa ka obi a ɔtɔɔ wɔ akofena ano funu anaa sɛ obi a ɔnyɛ ɔtɔfoɔ funu, anaasɛ obi de ne nsa ka onipa dompe anaa damena a, ne ho bɛgu fi nnanson.
17 and for the unclean person they have taken from the ashes of the burning of the [cow], and he has put running water over it into a vessel;
“Ansa na ne ho bɛte bio no, gye sɛ wɔde nantwie ba kɔkɔɔ no nsõ a wɔde bɔ bɔne ho afɔdeɛ no fra nsuo a wɔde agu asuhina mu.
18 and a clean person has taken hyssop, and has dipped [it] in water, and has sprinkled [it] on the tent, and on all the vessels, and on the persons who have been there, and on him who is coming against a bone, or against one pierced, or against the dead, or against a grave.
Na obi a ne ho te afa hisope mman na ɔde abɔ nsuo no mu de apete ntomadan no so ne nkuku ne nkaka a ɛwɔ ntomadan no mu no nso so ne obiara a na ɔwɔ ntomadan no mu a ne ho agu fi no so. Saa ara nso na obi a ɔsɔɔ dompe mu anaa ɔsɔɔ obi a wɔakum no anaa deɛ ɔde ne ho aka damena no nso, wɔdwira ne ho.
19 And the clean has sprinkled [it] on the unclean on the third day and on the seventh day, and has cleansed him on the seventh day, and he has washed his garments, and has bathed with water, and has been clean in the evening.
Wɔyɛ yei ne nnansa ne ne nnanson so. Na deɛ ne ho agu fi no nso, ɛsɛ sɛ ɔsi ne ntadeɛ na ɔdware, na ɛduru anwummerɛ a, afei ne ho ate.
20 And the man who is unclean and does not cleanse himself, indeed, that person has been cut off from the midst of the assembly; for he has defiled the sanctuary of YHWH; water of separation is not sprinkled on him; he [is] unclean.
Nanso, obiara a ne ho agu fi na wannwira ne ho no, wɔbɛtwa no asuo, ɛfiri sɛ, wɔagu Awurade kronkronbea hɔ ho fi. Ɛfiri sɛ wɔmfaa nsuo a ɛsɛ sɛ wɔde pete ne so no mpetee ne so no enti, ne ho agu fi.
21 And it has been for a continuous statute to them, that he who is sprinkling the water of separation washes his garments, and he who is coming against the water of separation is unclean until the evening,
Yei yɛ mmara a ɛwɔ hɔ afebɔɔ. “Onipa a ɔbɛtu nsuo no apete no nso, ɛsɛ sɛ akyire no, ɔsi ne ntadeɛ, na obiara a ɔde ne nsa bɛka nsuo no nso ho gu fi kɔsi anwummerɛ.
22 and all against which the unclean person comes is unclean, and the person who is coming against [it] is unclean until the evening.”
Na biribiara a obi a ne ho agu fi no bɛsɔ mu no nso ho gu fi kɔsi anwummerɛ.”
