Numbers 15

1 Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,

Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose sɛ,

2 "Speak to the children of Israel, and tell them, 'When you have come into the land of your habitations, which I give to you,

“Ka kyerɛ Israelfoɔ no sɛ, ‘Sɛ mokɔtena asase a mede ama mo no so

3 and will make an offering by fire to Jehovah, a burnt offering, or a sacrifice, to accomplish a vow, or as a freewill offering, or in your set feasts, to make a pleasant aroma to Jehovah, of the herd, or of the flock;

na mopɛ sɛ mobɔ ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ anaa afɔdeɛ biara a wɔbɔ no ogya so ma ɛsɔ Awurade ani a, ɛsɛ sɛ afɔrebɔdeɛ no yɛ aboa a ɔfiri mo nnwankuo anaa anantwibuo mu. Sɛ ɛyɛ ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ, anaa afɔrebɔ a wɔde hyɛ bɔ, anaa afɔrebɔ a ɛfiri ɔpɛ mu, anaa afɔrebɔ a wɔbɔ no afirinhyia mu nnapɔnna bi mu no a, ɛsɛ sɛ wɔde aduane afɔrebɔdeɛ ka ho.

4 then he who offers his offering shall offer to Jehovah a meal offering of a tenth part of an ephah of fine flour mixed with the fourth part of a hin of oil:

Deɛ ɔde ba no, ɛsɛ sɛ ɔde aduane afɔrebɔdeɛ a ɛyɛ esiam kilogram mmienu a wɔde ngo lita baako afra ka ho ma Awurade.

5 and wine for the drink offering, the fourth part of a hin, you shall prepare with the burnt offering, or for the sacrifice, for each lamb.

Odwammaa biara a wɔde bɔ ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ no, ɛsɛ sɛ wɔde nsã afɔrebɔdeɛ a ɛyɛ bobesa lita baako ka ho.

6 "'Or for a ram, you shall prepare for a meal offering two tenth parts of an ephah of fine flour mixed with the third part of a hin of oil:

“‘Sɛ odwennini na wode rebɔ afɔdeɛ a, fa esiam lita mmiɛnsa fra ngo lita baako,

7 and for the drink offering you shall offer the third part of a hin of wine, of a pleasant aroma to Jehovah.

ne bobesa lita baako sɛ ɔnom afɔrebɔdeɛ. Yei ne afɔrebɔ a ɛbɛsɔ Awurade ani.

8 When you prepare a bull for a burnt offering, or for a sacrifice, to accomplish a vow, or for peace offerings to Jehovah;

“‘Sɛ wosiesie nantwie ba ma ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ anaa afɔrebɔdeɛ de hyɛ bɔ sononko bi anaa ayɔnkofa asikyiresiam afɔdeɛ a worebɔ ama Awurade a,

9 then shall he offer with the bull a meal offering of three tenth parts of an ephah of fine flour mixed with half a hin of oil:

fa atokoɔ afɔrebɔdeɛ a ɛyɛ asikyiresiam a wɔayam no muhumuhu lita nsia ne fa ne ngo lita mmienu ka nantwie no ho

10 and you shall offer for the drink offering half a hin of wine, for an offering made by fire, of a pleasant aroma to Jehovah.

a bobesa lita mmienu ka ho sɛ ɔnom afɔrebɔdeɛ. Egya na wɔde bɛbɔ saa afɔdeɛ yi na asɔ Awurade ani.

11 Thus shall it be done for each bull, or for each ram, or for each of the male lambs, or of the young goats.

Yei ne mmara a ɛka nantwie, odwennini, odwammaa anaa abirekyie ba a wɔde bɔ afɔdeɛ ho.

12 According to the number that you shall prepare, so you shall do to everyone according to their number.

Afɔrebɔdeɛ biara a mo mu biara de bɛkɔ no, ɛsɛ sɛ ɔfa saa ɛkwan yi so.

13 "'All who are native-born shall do these things in this way, in offering an offering made by fire, of a pleasant aroma to Jehovah.

“‘Ɛsɛ sɛ Israelfoɔ ne ahɔhoɔ a wɔne mo teɛ a wɔpɛ sɛ wɔfa ogya afɔrebɔ so sɔ Awurade ani no nyinaa di saa mmara yi so.

14 If a stranger lives as a foreigner with you, or whoever may be among you throughout your generations, and will offer an offering made by fire, of a pleasant aroma to Jehovah; as you do, so he shall do.

Na sɛ ahɔhoɔ a wɔte mo mu no pɛ sɛ wɔbɔ ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ ma ɛsɔ Awurade ani a, ɛsɛ sɛ wɔfa saa ɛkwan korɔ no ara so.

15 For the assembly, there shall be one statute for you, and for the stranger who lives among you, a statute forever throughout your generations: as you are, so shall the foreigner be before Jehovah.

Mmara no wɔ hɔ ma mo nyinaa—ɔmanfoɔ ne ahɔhoɔ; na ɛyɛ nokorɛ a ɛtim hɔ daa firi awoɔ ntoatoasoɔ so kɔsi awoɔ ntoatoasoɔ so sɛ wɔn nyinaa yɛ pɛ wɔ Awurade anim.

16 One law and one ordinance shall be for you, and for the stranger who lives as a foreigner with you.'"

Mmara baako na ɛwɔ hɔ ma mo nyinaa.’”

17 Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,

Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose saa ɛberɛ no sɛ,

18 "Speak to the children of Israel, and tell them, 'When you come into the land where I bring you,

“Ka kyerɛ Israelfoɔ no sɛ, sɛ wɔduru asase a mede rebɛma wɔn no so

19 then it shall be that when you eat of the bread of the land, you shall offer up a wave offering to Jehovah.

na wɔdi asase no so aduane a, wɔmfa bi mmɔ afɔdeɛ mma Awurade.

20 Of the first of your dough you shall offer up a cake for a wave offering: as the wave offering of the threshing floor, so you shall heave it.

Atokoɔ a mobɛyam a ɛdi ɛkan no, momfa nto ɔfam nto nkyɛn sɛ akyɛdeɛ sɛdeɛ moyɛ atokoɔ otwakane no wɔ ayuporobea no.

21 Of the first of your dough you shall give to Jehovah a wave offering throughout your generations.

Ɛfiri awoɔ ntoatoasoɔ a ɛbɛba no, ɛsɛ sɛ mode saa afɔdeɛ a ɛfiri mo aduane a ɛdi ɛkan a moanya mu yi ma Awurade.

22 "'When you shall err, and not observe all these commandments, which Jehovah has spoken to Moses,

“‘Sɛ mo mu bi firi awerɛfirie mu bu saa mmara a Awurade nam Mose so de ama mo yi so,

23 even all that Jehovah has commanded you by Moses, from the day that Jehovah gave commandment, and onward throughout your generations;

na sɛ daakye mo asefoɔ bu mmara ahodoɔ a Awurade nam Mose so de ama mo yi so,

24 then it shall be, if it be done unwittingly, without the knowledge of the congregation, that all the congregation shall offer one young bull for a burnt offering, for a pleasant aroma to Jehovah, with the meal offering of it, and the drink offering of it, according to the ordinance, and one male goat for a sin offering.

na sɛ wɔfom awerɛfirie mu a nnipa no nnim a, ɛsɛ sɛ wɔde aduane afɔrebɔdeɛ ne ɔnom afɔrebɔdeɛ ne ɔpapo a wɔde no bɛbɔ bɔne ho afɔdeɛ ka ho ma Awurade.

25 The priest shall make atonement for all the congregation of the children of Israel, and they shall be forgiven; for it was an error, and they have brought their offering, an offering made by fire to Jehovah, and their sin offering before Jehovah, for their error:

Na ɔsɔfoɔ no ayɛ mpatadeɛ ama Israelfoɔ nyinaa na wɔde wɔn bɔne akyɛ wɔn; ɛfiri sɛ, ɛyɛ mfomsoɔ, na wɔnam ɔhyeɛ afɔrebɔ so abɔ afɔdeɛ wɔ Awurade anim a wɔn bɔne afɔrebɔdeɛ ka ho.

26 and all the congregation of the children of Israel shall be forgiven, and the stranger who lives as a foreigner among them; for in respect of all the people it was done unwittingly.

Wɔde nnipa no nyinaa a ahɔhoɔ a wɔte wɔn mu ka ho no bɔne bɛkyɛ wɔn, ɛfiri sɛ, ɔmanfoɔ no nyinaa na wɔyɛɛ mfomsoɔ a wɔanhyɛ da; na wɔde akyɛ wɔn nyinaa.

27 "'If one person sins unwittingly, then he shall offer a female goat a year old for a sin offering.

“‘Sɛ obi yɛ mfomsoɔ awerɛfirie mu a, ɛsɛ sɛ ɔde abirekyibereɛ ba a wadi afe bɛbɔ bɔne ho afɔdeɛ

28 The priest shall make atonement for the soul who errs, when he sins unwittingly, before Jehovah, to make atonement for him; and he shall be forgiven.

na ɔsɔfoɔ no ayɛ mpatadeɛ ama no wɔ Awurade anim na wɔde ne bɔne akyɛ no.

29 You shall have one law for him who does anything unwittingly, for him who is native-born among the children of Israel, and for the stranger who lives as a foreigner among them.

Saa mmara yi wɔ hɔ ma Israelfoɔ ne ananafoɔ a wɔte mu mu no.

30 "'But the person who acts defiantly, whether he is native-born or a foreigner, the same blasphemes God, and that person is to be cut off from among his people.

“‘Na sɛ obi boapa yɛ mfomsoɔ a, sɛ ɔyɛ Israelni anaa ɔnanani no, ɔgu Awurade din ho fi, enti wɔbɛyi no afiri nnipa no mu.

31 Because he has despised the word of Jehovah, and has broken his commandment, that soul shall utterly be cut off; his iniquity shall be on him.'"

Mperɛ dodoɔ a wɔabu Awurade asɛm animtiaa na wɔboapa abu Awurade mmara so no, ɛsɛ sɛ wɔyi no firi nnipa no mu na ne bɔne gu ne tiri so.’”

32 While the children of Israel were in the wilderness, they found a man gathering sticks on the Sabbath day.

Ɛda bi a Israelfoɔ no wɔ ɛserɛ so no, wɔkyeree wɔn mu baako sɛ ɔrebubu mmabaa homeda.

33 Those who found him gathering sticks brought him to Moses and Aaron, and to all the congregation.

Wɔkyeree no de no kɔɔ Mose ne Aaron ne atemmufoɔ bi anim.

34 They put him in custody, because it had not been declared what should be done to him.

Wɔde no too afiase kɔsii sɛ wɔhunuu Awurade adwene a ɔwɔ wɔ saa onipa no ho.

35 Jehovah said to Moses, "The man shall surely be put to death: all the congregation shall stone him with stones outside of the camp."

Afei, Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose sɛ, “Ɛsɛ sɛ wɔkum saa onipa no. Nnipa no nyinaa nsi no aboɔ wɔ atenaeɛ no akyi baabi.”

36 All the congregation brought him outside of the camp, and stoned him to death with stones; as Jehovah commanded Moses.

Enti wɔde no kɔɔ atenaeɛ no akyi baabi kɔsii no aboɔ sɛdeɛ Awurade hyɛeɛ no.

37 Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,

Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose sɛ,

38 "Speak to the children of Israel, and tell them that they should make themselves fringes in the borders of their garments throughout their generations, and that they put on the fringe of each border a cord of blue:

“Ka kyerɛ Israelfoɔ na wɔmma biribi nsensɛne wɔn ntadeɛ ano mfiri awoɔ ntoatoasoɔ so nkɔsi awoɔ ntoatoasoɔ so a ɛbɛyɛ mmara a ɛtim hɔ daa na wɔmfa ahoma tuntum nkyekyere sɛ nkaeɛ adeɛ mfam ntadeɛ ano.

39 and it shall be to you for a fringe, that you may look on it, and remember all the commandments of Jehovah, and do them; and that you not follow after your own heart and your own eyes, after which you use to play the prostitute;

Saa mmara yi botaeɛ ne sɛ, ɛberɛ biara a mobɛhunu saa adeɛ yi no, mobɛkae Awurade mmara a wɔahyɛ mo no, na moadi nʼapɛdeɛ so, na moamfa mo ankasa mo akwan sɛdeɛ na moyɛ de som anyame afoforɔ no.

40 that you may remember and do all my commandments, and be holy to your God.

Ɛbɛkae mo ama moayɛ kronkron ama Onyankopɔn.

41 I am Jehovah your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, to be your God: I am Jehovah your God."

Mene Awurade mo Onyankopɔn a mede mo firi Misraim asase so baeɛ no. Aane, mene Awurade mo Onyankopɔn.”
