Leviticus 15
1 Yahweh also said to Moses/me and Aaron,
Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose ne Aaron se,
2 “Tell this to the Israelis: When an infected discharge comes out of a man’s sexual organs [EUP], that fluid should not be touched.
“Monhyɛ saa mmara yi mma Israelfo: ‘Ɔbarima biara a ne ho bɛsen nsu no, saa nsu no yɛ fi.
3 Whether that fluid is blocked or continues to drip, it causes him to be someone who should not be touched.
Sɛ ɛkɔ so sen o, egyae o, agu ne ho fi. Fi a nsu a egu no no de bɛba ni:
4 “And any bed that such a man lies on should not be touched, and anything that he sits on should not be touched.
“‘Mpa a ɔbɛda so ne biribiara a ɔbɛtena so nso ho gu fi.
5 Anyone who touches that person’s bed must wash his clothes and bathe, and no one should touch him until that evening.
Obiara a ɔde ne ho ka ɔbarima no mpa ho gu fi kosi anwummere, enti ɛsɛ sɛ ɔhoro ne ntama na oguare.
6 Anyone who sits on something that man has sat on must wash his clothes and bathe, and no one should touch him until that evening.
Obiara a ɔbɛtena akongua a ɔbarima no atena so so ho gu fi kosi anwummere, enti ɛsɛ sɛ ɔhoro ne ntama na oguare.
7 “Anyone who touches such a man must wash his clothes and bathe, and no one should touch him until that evening.
“‘Saa mmara yi ka obiara a ɔde ne ho bɛka ɔbarima no.
8 “If such a man spits on someone else, that person who is spit upon should not be touched. He must wash his clothes, and no one should touch him until that evening.
“‘Obiara a ɔbarima no bɛte ntasu agu ne so no ho ntew kosi anwummere, enti ɛsɛ sɛ onii no horo ne ntama na oguare.
9 “Everything that a man who has such a discharge of fluid sits on while he is riding [a horse or a donkey] should not be touched,
“‘Ɔpɔnkɔ agua biara a ɔbɛtena so no ho agu fi.
10 and anyone who touches the seat or saddle that he was sitting on also should not be touched until that evening. And anyone who picks up the seat or saddle must wash his clothes and bathe, and no one should touch him until that evening.
Obiara a ne ho bɛka biribiara a aka saa onipa no ase no ho ntew kosi anwummere, enti ɛsɛ sɛ ɔhoro ne ntama na oguare.
11 Anyone whom the man with such a discharge of fluid from his body touches without first rinsing his hands in water must wash his clothes and bathe, and no one should touch him until that evening.
“‘Sɛ onipa a ne ho ntew no koso obi mu na wanhohoro ne nsa ansa a, ɛsɛ sɛ onipa ko no horo ne ntama, guare, efisɛ ne ho ntew kosi anwummere.
12 “If such a man touches a clay pot, that pot must be broken into pieces. Anything made from wood that he touches must be rinsed in water.
“‘Sɛ saa onipa no so asanka biara mu a, ɛsɛ sɛ wɔbɔ no na sɛ ɛyɛ mukaase biribi a wɔde dua na asen de a, ɛsɛ sɛ wɔde nsu hohoro ho.
13 “If such a man is healed from his flow of fluid, he must wait for seven days. Then he must wash his clothes and bathe in water from a spring. Then he will be able to be with others.
“‘Sɛ nʼahosen no twa a, ɛsɛ sɛ ɔde nnanson fi ahodwira ho ahosiesie ase na ɔhoro ne ntama na okoguare wɔ asubɔnten mu.
14 On the eighth/next day, he must take two doves or two young pigeons and come in front of Yahweh at the entrance of the Sacred Tent, and give them to the priest.
Da a ɛto so awotwe no, ɔde nturukuku abien anaa mmorɔnomamma abien bɛba Awurade anim wɔ Ahyiae Ntamadan no ano na ɔde ama ɔsɔfo no.
15 The priest will sacrifice them. One will be an offering for the man to become acceptable to God, and the other one will be completely burned [on the altar]. As a result of the priest doing that, the man will be forgiven for having sinned.
Ɔsɔfo no de wɔn bɛbɔ afɔre a baako yɛ bɔne ho afɔre na baako no nso yɛ ɔhyew afɔre; na ɛkyerɛ sɛ, ɔsɔfo no bɛyɛ mpata wɔ Awurade anim ama ɔbarima no, esiane nʼahosen no nti.
16 “Then semen accidentally flows from a man’s sexual organs [EUP], he must bathe his whole body, and no one should touch him until that evening.
“‘Sɛ ɔbarima biara ho nsu gu a, ɛsɛ sɛ oguare ne ho nyinaa, efisɛ ne ho nso ntew kosi anwummere.
17 Any clothing or leather that has semen on it must be washed, and no one should touch it until that evening.
Ntama anaa mpasotam biara a ho nsu no bi begu mu no, ɛsɛ sɛ wɔhoro, efisɛ ɛho ntew kosi anwummere.
18 When a man has sex with a woman and some semen spills, both of them must bathe, and no one should touch them until that evening.
Sɛ ɔbarima fa ɔbea a, wɔn nna no akyi, ɛsɛ sɛ ɔbea no ne ɔbarima no nyinaa guare, efisɛ wɔn ho ntew kosi anwummere.
19 “Then a woman has her monthly menstrual period, no one should touch her for seven days. If anyone touches her [during that time], no one should touch the person who touched her until that evening.
“‘Sɛ ɔbea kɔ afikyiri a, ne ho ntew nnanson mu. Saa bere no mu, obiara a ɔde ne ho bɛka no no nso ho ntew kosi anwummere.
20 No one should touch anything that she lies on or sits on during that time.
“‘Biribiara a ɔbɛda so anaa ɔbɛtena so saa bere no mu no nso ho agu fi.
21 Anyone who touches her bed must wash his clothes and bathe, and no one should touch that person until that evening.
Obiara a ɔde ne nsa bɛka ne mpa anaa biribiara a ɔtena so no bɛhoro ne ntama, aguare, efisɛ onipa no ho agu fi kosi anwummere.
22 Anyone who touches something that she has been sitting on, a bed or anything else, must wash his clothes, and no one should touch that person until that evening.
Sɛ obi so biribi a watena so mu nso a, ɛsɛ sɛ ɔhoro ne ntama na oguare, efisɛ ne ho agu fi kosi anwummere.
Sɛ ɛyɛ ne mpasotam anaa nʼakongua, obiara a ne ho bɛka no ho begu fi akosi anwummere.
24 “If a man has sex with a woman [during that time] and some of the menstrual blood touches him, no one should touch him for seven days, and no one should touch the bed that he lies on.
“‘Sɛ ɔbarima ne no da saa bere yi mu a, ɔbarima no ho gu fi nnanson; na mpa biara a ɔbarima no bɛda so no nso ho gu fi.
25 “Then a woman has a vaginal discharge of blood for (many days/a long time), which is not her monthly flow of blood, or if her flow of blood continues after her monthly flow ends, no one should touch her until it stops.
“‘Sɛ bere du sɛ ofi nanso mogya da so ba anaasɛ mogya ba bere a ɛnsɛ mu wɔ ɔsram no mu a, mmara koro no ara na wɔde ka ho asɛm,
26 And no one should touch the bed that she lies on or anything that she sits on while that flow of blood continues, just like during her monthly menstrual period.
na ɛkyerɛ sɛ, biribiara a ɔbɛda so saa bere no ho agu fi te sɛ nea nʼafikyikɔ bere mu ɔtena biribi so a, ɛho gu fi no ara pɛ.
27 Anyone who touches those things should not touch anyone else; he must wash his clothes and bathe, and he should not touch anyone else until that evening.
Obiara a ɔde ne nsa bɛka ne mpa anaa biribiara a ɔtena so no ho agu fi a ɛsɛ sɛ ɔhoro ne ntama, san guare, efisɛ ne ho ntew kosi anwummere.
28 “After a woman’s monthly menstrual flow ends, she must wait seven days before she touches anyone.
“‘Nnanson akyi, sɛ afikyikɔ no twa a, na onni efi mu bio.
29 On the eighth/next day, she must take two doves or two pigeons to the priest at the entrance of the Sacred Tent.
Da a ɛto so awotwe no, ɔde nturukuku abien anaa mmorɔnomamma abien bɛkɔ akɔma ɔsɔfo no wɔ Ahyiae Ntamadan no kwan ano.
30 The priest will sacrifice one of them to be an offering to enable her to become acceptable to Yahweh again, and completely burn the other one [on the altar]. By doing that he will cause me, Yahweh, to forgive her for having sinned [DOU].
Ɛsɛ sɛ ɔsɔfo no de baako bɔ bɔne ho afɔre na ɔde baako bɔ ɔhyew afɔre na ayɛ mpata ama ɔbea no wɔ Awurade anim wɔ nʼafikyikɔ mu no ho.
31 “You must warn the Israeli people not to do things that (defile them/cause them to be unacceptable to me). If they become (unacceptable to me/defiled), they will cause my Sacred Tent which is among them to become an unacceptable place to worship me, and as a result they will die.”
“‘Saa ɔkwan yi so na sɛ Israelfo no bi ho gu fi a, mobɛfa de atew wɔn ho; anyɛ saa a, esiane sɛ wɔagu mʼAhyiae Ntamadan a esi wɔn mu no ho fi nti, wobewuwu.’”
32 “Those are the regulations for a man who has a fluid that flows from his sexual organs or who should not be touched because some of his semen spills out while having sex [with a woman],
Eyinom ne mmara a ɛwɔ hɔ ma ɔbarima a ne ho sen
33 and for any woman during her monthly menstrual period, and for any man who has sex with a woman during her menstrual period.”
ne ɔbea a wakɔ afikyiri ne obiara a ɔde ne ho ka ɔsakyimafo wɔ bere a ne ho ntew no mu no.
