Leviticus 12
1 Yahweh also said to Moses/me,
Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose sɛ ɔnhyɛ Israelfoɔ mmara sɛ,
2 “Tell this to the Israeli people: ‘If a woman gives birth to a son, she must be avoided for seven days, like she must be avoided when she is menstruating each month.
“Sɛ ɔbaa bi wo ɔbabarima a, ne ho nnte nnanson, te sɛ deɛ ɔkɔ afikyire a ne ho nteɛ no ara.
3 The baby son must be circumcised on the eighth day after he is born.
Ne nnawɔtwe so no, ɛsɛ sɛ wɔtwa abarimaa no twetia.
4 Then the woman must wait 33 days to be purified from her bleeding [during childbirth]. She must not touch anything that is sacred or enter the Sacred Tent area until that time is ended.
Na nnafua aduasa mmiɛnsa a ɛda nʼanim a ɔde rete ne ho no, ɛnsɛ sɛ ɔsɔ biribiara a ɛyɛ kronkron mu na ɔnni ho kwan sɛ ɔkɔ hyiadan mu nso.
5 If a woman gives birth to a daughter, she must be avoided for two weeks, like she must be avoided when she is menstruating each month. Then she must wait 66 days to be purified from the bleeding that occurred [when her baby was born].
Sɛ ɔbaa bi wo ɔbabaa a, ne ho nnte nnawɔtwe mmienu, te sɛ deɛ ɔkɔ afikyire a ne ho nteɛ no ara. Afei ɛsɛ sɛ ɔtwɛn nnafua aduosia nsia ma ne ho twa.
6 ‘Then that time for her to be purified is ended, that woman must bring to the priest at the entrance of the Sacred Tent a one-year-old lamb to be completely burned [on the altar], and a dove or a young pigeon [to be sacrificed] to enable her to become acceptable to Yahweh again.
“Sɛ saa ahoteɛ nna yi twam a (mmara a ɛdi so yi ka ɔbaa a wawo abarimaa anaa abaayewa ho asɛm), ɛsɛ sɛ ɔde odwammaa a wadi afe bɛbɔ ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ na ɔde aborɔnoma anaa aturukuku ba bɛbɔ bɔne ho afɔdeɛ. Ɛsɛ sɛ ɔde wɔn kɔ Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no ano kɔma ɔsɔfoɔ no,
7 The priest will offer them to Yahweh in order that she may be forgiven for any sins she has committed. Then she will be purified from her loss of blood [when the baby was born]. ‘Those are the regulations for women who give birth to a son or daughter.
na ɔsɔfoɔ no de ama Awurade de ayɛ mpatadeɛ ama ɛna no; ɛba saa a, ne ho te bio wɔ nʼawoɔ mu mogyaguo ho. “Yei ne awoɔ akyi ahyɛdeɛ.
8 If a woman who gives birth to a child cannot afford a lamb, she must bring two doves or two young pigeons. One will be burned completely [on the altar], and one will be an offering to enable her to become acceptable to God again. By doing that, the priest will cause that she will be forgiven for any sins she has committed, and she no longer will need to be avoided.’”
Na sɛ ɔyɛ ohiani a ɔrennya odwammaa no a, ɛnneɛ, ɛsɛ sɛ ɔde mmorɔnoma mmienu anaa nturukuku mma mmienu ba. Wɔde baako bɛbɔ ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ na wɔde baako abɔ bɔne ho afɔdeɛ. Ɔsɔfoɔ no de yeinom bɛyɛ mpatadeɛ ama no, sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a ne ho bɛte bio.”
