Leviticus 4

1 YHWH spoke to Moses, saying,

Afei Awurade hyɛɛ mmara foforo maa Mose sɛ:

2 "Speak to the children of Israel, saying, 'If anyone sins unintentionally, in any of the things which YHWH has commanded not to be done, and does any one of them:

“Ka kyerɛ Israelfo se saa mmara yi na ɛwɔ hɔ ma obiara a wanhyɛ da na obebu me mmara no bi so.

3 if the anointed priest sins so as to bring guilt on the people, then let him offer for his sin, which he has sinned, a young bull without blemish to YHWH for a sin offering.

“‘Sɛ ɔsɔfo bi anhyɛ da na ɔfom mmara bi na ɛnam so de afɔbu ba nnipa no so a, ɛsɛ sɛ ɔde nantwinini ba a onnii dɛm bɔ bɔne ho afɔre de ma Awurade.

4 He shall bring the bull to the door of the Tent of Meeting before YHWH; and he shall lay his hand on the head of the bull and kill the bull before YHWH.

Ɛsɛ sɛ ɔde aboa no ba Ahyiae Ntamadan no pon ano na ɔde ne nsa gu nʼapampam na okum no wɔ hɔ wɔ Awurade anim.

5 The anointed priest shall take some of the blood of the bull, and bring it to the Tent of Meeting.

Ɔsɔfo no de aboa no mogya bɛkɔ Ahyiae Ntamadan no mu.

6 The priest shall dip his finger in the blood, and sprinkle some of the blood seven times before YHWH, before the veil of the sanctuary.

Ɔde ne nsateaa baako bɛbɔ mogya no mu apete mpɛn ason wɔ Awurade anim wɔ ntama a ɛsɛn kronkron mu kronkron no anim.

7 The priest shall put some of the blood on the horns of the altar of sweet incense before YHWH, which is in the Tent of Meeting; and he shall pour out all of rest of the blood of the bull at the base of the altar of burnt offering, which is at the door of the Tent of Meeting.

Afei, ɔsɔfo no de mogya no bi begu aduhuam no tumpan a esi afɔremuka no so no wɔ Awurade anim wɔ Ahyiae Ntamadan no mu; mogya no a ɛbɛka no, wobehwie agu afɔremuka no ase de abɔ ɔhyew afɔre wɔ Ahyiae Ntamadan no kwan ano.

8 He shall take all the fat of the bull of the sin offering off of it; the fat that covers the entrails, and all the fat that is on the entrails,

Afei ɔbɛtetew srade a ɛwɔ ne nsono no ho nyinaa,

9 and the two kidneys, and the fat that is on them, which is by the loins, and the cover on the liver, with the kidneys, he shall take away,

ne asaabo abien no ne sisia srade ne ne bɔnwoma kotoku,

10 as it is taken off of the bull of the sacrifice of peace offerings. The priest shall burn them on the altar of burnt offering.

na wahyew no wɔ ɔhyew afɔremuka no so te sɛ nantwinini anaa nantwibere a wɔde no bɔ asomdwoe afɔre no pɛ.

11 The bull's skin, all its flesh, with its head, and with its legs, its entrails, and its dung,

Nanso nantwi ba no ho nneɛma a ɛbɛka a ɛyɛ ne nwoma, ne nam, ne ti, ne nan, nʼayamde, ne ne nsono no de,

12 even the whole bull shall he carry forth outside the camp to a clean place, where the ashes are poured out, and burn it on wood with fire. Where the ashes are poured out it shall be burned.

wɔmfa nkɔ afahyɛbea bi a ɛhɔ tew wɔ akyiri baabi a wɔde nsõ fi afɔremuka no so kɔ hɔ kɔhyew no nnyansin so no.

13 "'If the whole congregation of Israel sins, and the thing is hidden from the eyes of the assembly, and they have done any of the things which YHWH has commanded not to be done, and are guilty;

“‘Sɛ Israelfo nyinaa yɛ bɔne a etia Awurade, na sɛ ɛnyɛ ɔboayɛ a, nnipa no nyinaa bedi ho fɔ.

14 when the sin in which they have sinned is known, then the assembly shall offer a young bull for a sin offering, and bring it before the Tent of Meeting.

Na sɛ wohu wɔn bɔne a, wɔde nantwi ba bɛba abɛbɔ bɔne ho afɔre wɔ Ahyiae Ntamadan no mu.

15 The elders of the congregation shall lay their hands on the head of the bull before YHWH; and the bull shall be killed before YHWH.

Sɛ wɔrebɔ saa afɔre no a, ɔman no mu mpanyimfo de wɔn nsa begu aboa no apampam na wɔakum no wɔ Awurade anim.

16 The anointed priest shall bring of the blood of the bull to the Tent of Meeting:

Na ɔsɔfo no de ne mogya aba Ahyiae Ntamadan no mu,

17 and the priest shall dip his finger in the blood, and sprinkle it seven times before YHWH, before the veil.

na ɔde ne nsateaa baako abɔ mogya no mu apete mpɛn ason wɔ Awurade ne ntama a etwa ɔdan no mu no anim.

18 He shall put some of the blood on the horns of the altar which is before YHWH, that is in the Tent of Meeting; and the rest of the blood he shall pour out at the base of the altar of burnt offering, which is at the door of the Tent of Meeting.

Ɔde mogya begu mmɛn a etuatua afɔremuka no ho no so wɔ Ahyiae Ntamadan no mu wɔ Awurade anim. Afei obehwie mogya a aka wɔ ɔhyew afɔre no afɔremuka no ase no agu wɔ Ahyiae Ntamadan no kwan ano.

19 All its fat he shall take from it, and burn it on the altar.

Ɛsɛ sɛ woyi na wɔhyew srade a ɛwɔ aboa no mu no nyinaa wɔ afɔremuka no so.

20 Thus shall he do with the bull; as he did with the bull of the sin offering, so shall he do with this; and the priest shall make atonement for them, and they shall be forgiven.

Ɔbɛfa ɔkwan a wɔfa so bɔ bɔne ho afɔre no so pɛpɛɛpɛ. Eyi bɛma ɔsɔfo no abɛyɛ mpata ama ɔman no, na wɔde obiara bɔne bɛkyɛ no.

21 He shall carry forth the bull outside the camp, and burn it as he burned the first bull. It is the sin offering for the assembly.

Afei asɔfo no bɛtwe nantwinini ba no de no akɔ beae foforo bi akɔhyew no wɔ hɔ te sɛnea ɔrebɔ ɔbaakofo bɔne ho afɔre no. Nanso eyi de, ɛyɛ ɔman mu no nyinaa afɔrebɔde.

22 "'When a ruler sins, and unwittingly does any one of all the things which YHWH his God has commanded not to be done, and is guilty;

“‘Sɛ mpanyimfo no bi yɛ bɔne a onnim sɛ wafom Onyankopɔn mmara no baako

23 if his sin, in which he has sinned, is made known to him, he shall bring as his offering a goat, a male without blemish.

na wɔma no te ne ho ase a, ɛsɛ sɛ ɔde ɔpapo a ne ho nni dɛm ba sɛ nʼafɔrebɔde.

24 He shall lay his hand on the head of the goat, and kill it in the place where they kill the burnt offering before YHWH. It is a sin offering.

Ɔde ne nsa begu aboa no apampam na wakum no wɔ beae a wokum ɔhyew afɔre mmoa no de ama Awurade no. Eyi yɛ ne bɔne ho afɔrebɔde.

25 The priest shall take some of the blood of the sin offering with his finger, and put it on the horns of the altar of burnt offering. He shall pour out the rest of its blood at the base of the altar of burnt offering.

Afei, ɔsɔfo no de ne nsateaa baako bɛbɔ afɔrebɔde mogya no mu na ɔde asra afɔremuka a wɔbɔ ɔhyew afɔre wɔ so no mmɛn no ho; na afei wɔahwie mogya no nkae agu afɔremuka no ase.

26 All its fat he shall burn on the altar, like the fat of the sacrifice of peace offerings; and the priest shall make atonement for him concerning his sin, and he will be forgiven.

Wɔbɛhyew srade no nyinaa wɔ afɔremuka no so te sɛ nea wɔhyew asomdwoe afɔre srade no ara pɛ; ɛkyerɛ sɛ, ɔsɔfo no nam saa afɔrebɔ yi so bɛpata ama ɔpanyin ko no wɔ ne bɔne no ho; na wɔde ne bɔne no bɛkyɛ no.

27 "'If anyone of the common people sins unwittingly, in doing any of the things which YHWH has commanded not to be done, and is guilty;

“‘Sɛ apapahwekwa bi yɛ bɔne a onnim sɛ wafom a, odi ho fɔ.

28 if his sin, which he has sinned, is made known to him, then he shall bring for his offering a goat, a female without blemish, for his sin which he has sinned.

Nanso onya te ne ho ase ara pɛ a, ɛsɛ sɛ ɔde abirekyibere a ne ho nni dɛm ba ma wɔde pata ne bɔne no.

29 He shall lay his hand on the head of the sin offering, and kill the sin offering in the place of burnt offering.

Ɔde no bɛba beae a wɔde mmoa a wɔde wɔn ba ma wokum wɔn de wɔn bɔ ɔhyew afɔre hɔ no, na ɔde ne nsa ato bɔne ho afɔrebɔde no apampam na wɔakum no.

30 The priest shall take some of its blood with his finger, and put it on the horns of the altar of burnt offering; and the rest of its blood he shall pour out at the base of the altar.

Na ɔsɔfo no de mogya no bi asra ne nsateaa baako ho na ɔde asra ɔhyew afɔremuka mmɛn no ho. Afei, ɔsɔfo no behwie mogya no nkae no agu afɔremuka no ase.

31 All its fat he shall take away, like the fat is taken away from off of the sacrifice of peace offerings; and the priest shall burn it on the altar for a pleasant aroma to YHWH; and the priest shall make atonement for him, and he will be forgiven.

Wobeyi srade no nyinaa afi mu te sɛ nea wɔfa bɔ asomdwoe afɔre no ara. Na ɔsɔfo no bɛhyew no wɔ afɔremuka no so. Na Awurade ani bɛsɔ. Ɛkyerɛ sɛ, ɔsɔfo no nam saa afɔrebɔ yi so bɛpata ama saa onipa no na wɔde ne bɔne bɛkyɛ no.

32 "'If he brings a lamb as his offering for a sin offering, he shall bring a female without blemish.

“‘Na sɛ ɔpɛ sɛ ɔde oguamma bɛbɔ ne bɔne ho afɔre nso a, ɛsɛ sɛ ɔyɛ ɔbere a dɛm biara nni ne ho.

33 He shall lay his hand on the head of the sin offering, and kill it for a sin offering in the place where they kill the burnt offering.

Ɔde no bɛba beae a wɔde mmoa a wɔde wɔn ba ma wokum wɔn de wɔn bɔ ɔhyew afɔre hɔ no, na ɔde ne nsa ato bɔne ho afɔrebɔde no apampam na wakum no sɛ bɔne ho afɔrebɔde.

34 The priest shall take some of the blood of the sin offering with his finger, and put it on the horns of the altar of burnt offering; and all the rest of its blood he shall pour out at the base of the altar.

Na ɔsɔfo no de mogya no bi asra ne nsateaa baako ho na ɔde asra ɔhyew afɔremuka mmɛn no ho. Na wahwie mogya no nkae no agu afɔremuka no ase.

35 All its fat he shall take away, like the fat of the lamb is taken away from the sacrifice of peace offerings; and the priest shall burn them on the altar, on the offerings of YHWH made by fire; and the priest shall make atonement for him concerning his sin that he has sinned, and he will be forgiven.

Wɔbɛyɛ srade no sɛnea wɔyɛ asomdwoe oguamma srade no. Ɔsɔfo no bɛhyew srade no wɔ afɔremuka no so te sɛ afɔre ahorow a wɔde ogya bɔ ma Awurade no ara pɛ. Ɔsɔfo no nam saa afɔrebɔ yi so bɛpata ama onipa ko no, na wɔde ne bɔne bɛkyɛ no.
