Numbers 5
1 And YHWH speaks to Moses, saying,
Eyi ne mmara a Awurade san hyɛ maa Mose:
2 “Command the sons of Israel, and they send out of the camp every leper, and everyone with discharging, and everyone defiled by a body;
“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 you send out from male even to female; you send them to the outside of the camp and they do not defile their camps in the midst of which 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 sons of Israel do so, and they send them out to the outside of the camp; as YHWH has spoken to Moses so the sons of Israel have done.
Wodii Awurade mmara no so.
5 And YHWH speaks to Moses, saying,
Afei, Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose se,
6 “Speak to the sons of Israel: Man or woman, when they do any of the sins of man, by committing a trespass against YHWH, and that person [is] guilty,
“Ka kyerɛ Israelfo no se, sɛ ɔbarima o, ɔbea o, odi Awurade huammɔ a, ɛyɛ bɔne.
7 and they have confessed their sin which they have done, then he has restored his guilt in its principal, and is adding its fifth to it, and has given [it] to him in reference to whom he has been guilty.
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 And if the man has no redeemer to restore the guilt to, the guilt which is restored [is] to YHWH for the priest, apart from the ram of the atonements, whereby he makes 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 every raised-offering of all the holy things of the sons of Israel, which they bring near to the priest, becomes his;
Akyɛde kronkron a Israelfo de bɛkyɛ ɔsɔfo no yɛ ne de.
10 and any man’s hallowed things become his; that which any man gives to the priest becomes his.”
Ɔsɔfo biara bɛfa akyɛde kronkron biara a ne nsa bɛka.”
11 And YHWH speaks to Moses, saying,
Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose se,
12 “Speak to the sons of Israel, and you have said to them: When any man’s wife turns aside, and has committed a trespass against him,
“Ka kyerɛ Israelfo no se, sɛ ɔbarima bi yere kɔbɔ aguaman
13 and a man has lain with her [with] the seed [from] intercourse, and it has been hid from the eyes of her husband, and concealed, and she has been defiled, and there is no witness against her, and she has not been caught,
nanso onhu asɛm no mu nokware na onya ɔdanseni
14 and a spirit of jealousy has passed over him, and he has been jealous [for] his wife, and she has been defiled—or a spirit of jealousy has passed over him, and he has been jealous [for] his wife, and she has not been defiled—
na ɔtwe ho ninkunu na ɔnte ne ho ase a,
15 then the man has brought in his wife to the priest, and he has brought in her offering for her—a tenth of the ephah of barley meal; he does not pour oil on it, nor does he put frankincense on it, for it [is] a present of jealousy, a present of memorial, causing remembrance of iniquity.
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 has brought her near, and has caused her to stand before YHWH,
“Ɔsɔfo no de ɔbea no bɛba Awurade anim,
17 and the priest has taken holy water in an earthen vessel, and the priest takes of the dust which is on the floor of the Dwelling Place, and has put [it] into the water,
na wasaw Ahyiae Ntamadan no mu mfutuma de afra nsu kronkron a egu asuhina kɛse bi mu no.
18 and the priest has caused the woman to stand before YHWH, and has uncovered the woman’s head, and has given the present of the memorial into her hands (it [is] a present of jealousy), and the bitter waters which cause the curse are in the hand of the priest.
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 has caused her to swear, and has said to the woman, If no man has lain with you, and if you have not turned aside [to] uncleanness under your husband, be free from these bitter waters which cause the curse;
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 and you, if you have turned aside under your husband, and if you have been defiled, and a man commits his intercourse with you besides your husband—
21 then the priest has caused the woman to swear with an oath of execration, and the priest has said to the woman—YHWH gives you for an execration and for a curse in the midst of your people, in YHWH’s giving your thigh to fall and your belly to swell,
22 and these waters which cause the curse have gone into your bowels to cause the belly to swell and the thigh to fall; and the woman has said, Amen, Amen.
23 And the priest has written these execrations in a scroll, and has blotted [them] out with the bitter waters,
“Ɔsɔfo no bɛkyerɛw nnome yi nyinaa agu nhoma bi mu na wahohoro agu nsu nwenweenwen no mu.
24 and has caused the woman to drink the bitter waters which cause the curse, and the waters which cause the curse have entered into her for bitter things.
Sɛ ɛsɛ sɛ ɔbea no nom nsu no na sɛ ɔnom wɔ bere a wayɛ bɔne a, ɛyɛ nwenweenwen wɔ ne mu.
25 And the priest has taken the present of jealousy out of the hand of the woman, and has waved the present before YHWH, and has brought it near to the 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 has taken a handful of the present, its memorial, and has made incense on the altar, and afterward causes the woman to drink 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 indeed, he has caused her to drink the water, and it has come to pass, if she has been defiled and commits a trespass against her husband, that the waters which cause the curse have gone into her for bitter things, and her belly has swelled, and her thigh has fallen, and the woman has become an execration in the midst of 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 And if the woman has not been defiled, and is clean, then she has been acquitted, and has been sown [with] seed.
Sɛ ɔyɛ kronkron a ɔmmɔɔ aguaman a, wɔrenhaw no, na ɛrenkyɛ, obenyinsɛn.
29 This [is] the law of jealousies when a wife turns aside under her husband and has been defiled,
“Eyi ne mmara a ɛfa ɔbea a ne bra nye na ne kunu twe ne ho ninkunu
30 or when a spirit of jealousy passes over a man and he has been jealous of his wife, then he has caused the woman to stand before YHWH, and the priest has done to her all this law,
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 has been acquitted from iniquity, and that woman bears her iniquity.”
Wɔrenni ne kunu no asɛm wɔ baabiara sɛ wama ɔyare bɔne bi aba ne yere so, efisɛ ɛyɛ ɔno ara na ɔma ɛbaa saa.”
