< Leviticus 7 >
1 “These are the regulations concerning the offerings to be made by people who are guilty of not giving to me the things that are required to be given to me. Those are very sacred offerings.
“‘Amanneɛ a ɛfa bɔne afɔrebɔ a ɛyɛ kronkron no nie:
2 Each animal that is to be offered by such people must be slaughtered in the same place where the animals that will be completely burned [on the altar] are slaughtered, and their blood must be sprinkled against all sides of the altar.
Wɔbɛkum aboa a wɔde no rebɔ afɔdeɛ no wɔ beaeɛ a wɔkumm aboa a wɔde no bɔ ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ no na wɔde ne mogya no apete afɔrebukyia no ho ahyia.
3 All their fat, the fat tails that are cut close to the backbone, and all the fat that covers the inner parts of the animals or which is attached to them, must be burned [on the altar].
Ɔsɔfoɔ no de aboa no mu sradeɛ nyinaa, ne dua,
4 That includes the kidneys with their fat near the lower back muscle, and the protruding lobe that is attached to the liver.
ne sawa mmienu ne ne sisia sradeɛ ne ne berɛboɔ kotokuo no nyinaa bɛgu nkyɛn de abɔ saa afɔdeɛ no.
5 The priest must burn them on the altar to be offerings to me, Yahweh. They are an offering for the people to be forgiven for not doing what they were required to do.
Asɔfoɔ no bɛhye no afɔrebukyia no so sɛ ɛfɔdie ho afɔdeɛ de ama Awurade.
6 All the males in the priest’s family are permitted to eat its meat, but it must be eaten in a sacred place, because it is very sacred.
Mmarima a wɔfra asɔfoɔ no mu nko ara na wɔbɛwe ɛnam no bi. Wɔnwe no beaeɛ a ɛhɔ yɛ kronkron, ɛfiri sɛ, ɛyɛ afɔrebɔdeɛ a ɛho te yie.
7 “The regulation is the same for the offerings [to enable people to be forgiven for the sins they have committed] and the offerings for when they are guilty of not giving to me the things that are required to be given to me. The meat of those offerings belongs to the priest who offers them in order that the people will be forgiven.
“‘Amanneɛ korɔ no ara na wɔbɛfa so abɔ bɔne afɔdeɛ ne ɛfɔdie afɔdeɛ no. Ɔsɔfoɔ a ɔdi mmaratodeɛ no ho dwuma no na ɛsɛ sɛ ɔwe ɛnam no.
8 The priest who slaughters an animal that will be completely burned on the altar is permitted to keep the animal’s hide for himself.
Sɛ afɔrebɔ no yɛ ɔhyeɛ afɔrebɔ a, wɔde aboa no ho nhoma no bɛma ɔsɔfoɔ a ɔbɛdi dwuma no.
9 Offerings of things made from grain that are baked in an oven or cooked in a pan or (in a shallow pan/on a griddle) belong to the priest who makes those offerings [for another person].
Sɛ asɔfoɔ a wɔbɔ atokoɔ ho afɔdeɛ ma Awurade no wie saa afɔrebɔ no a, wɔde atokoɔ no nkaeɛ bɛma wɔn. Sɛ afɔrebɔdeɛ no, wɔto o, wɔkye o, wɔnoa o, amanneɛ korɔ no ara ase na ɛhyɛ.
10 And offerings of things made from grain, whether they were mixed with olive oil or not, also belong to the sons of Aaron.”
Atokoɔ afɔrebɔ biara a aka no, sɛ wɔde ngo fra anaa wɔamfa ngo amfra a, ɛyɛ Aaron mmammarima nyinaa dea.
11 These are the regulations concerning the offerings that people make to maintain fellowship [with Yahweh]:
“‘Amanneɛ a ɛfa asomdwoeɛ afɔdeɛ sononko a wɔbɔ ma Awurade no nie:
12 “If you bring an offering to thank [Yahweh], along with [the animal that you slaughter] you must offer loaves of bread made with olive oil mixed [with the flour] but without yeast, and wafers that are made without yeast but with olive oil smeared on them, and loaves made from fine flour with olive oil well mixed with the flour.
“‘Sɛ ɛyɛ asomdwoeɛ afɔdeɛ a, wɔmfa burodo a mmɔreka nni mu a wɔde ngo afra nka ho. Saa ara na wɔmfa burodo ntrawa bi a wɔde ngo agu so ne asikyiresiam mfrafraeɛ a wɔde afra ngo nka saa afɔrebɔdeɛ no ho.
13 Along with that offering to thank Yahweh, you must bring an offering of loaves made with yeast.
Wɔmfa burodo a wɔde mmɔreka afra nka saa aseda asomdwoeɛ afɔdeɛ yi ho.
14 You must bring one of each kind for an offering to Yahweh, but they belong to the priest who sprinkles against the altar the blood of the animal that is [slaughtered as an offering] to maintain fellowship with Yahweh.
Wɔde saa afɔrebɔdeɛ yi bi bɛgyina afɔrebukyia no anim na wɔahim no afɔrebukyia no anim akɔ fa aba fa de akyerɛ sɛ, wɔde ama Awurade. Afei, wɔbɛdane afɔrebɔdeɛ no ama ɔsɔfoɔ a ɔpete aboa a wɔde no bɛbɔ afɔdeɛ no mogya a ɔboa dwumadie no.
15 The meat of that offering must be eaten on the day that it is offered; none of it should be left to [be eaten on] the next day.
Sɛ wɔde aboa no bɔ Awurade afɔdeɛ de ma no sɛ asomdwoeɛ afɔrebɔ de kyerɛ sɛ ɛyɛ anisɔ ne asedadeɛ a, wɔbɛwe ne nam ɛda no ara. Ɛnsɛ sɛ ebi ka na adeɛ kye a wɔawe.
16 “However, if your offering is the result of a solemn promise that you made to Yahweh, or if it is an offering that you make (voluntarily/without being required to), you are permitted to eat some of the meat on the day it is offered, but anything that is left may be eaten on the next day.
“‘Na sɛ obi de afɔrebɔdeɛ bi ba a ɛnyɛ asomdwoeɛ afɔdeɛ na mmom, sɛ ɛyɛ bɔhyɛ anaa ɛfiri nʼakoma mu na ɔde rebrɛ Awurade deɛ a, deɛ ɛbɛka biara wɔ afɔrebɔ no akyi no, sɛ adeɛ kye so a, wɔtumi we.
17 But any meat that is left until the third day must be completely burned.
Biribiara a ɛbɛka a ɛbɛdi nnansa no deɛ, wɔnhye no.
18 If any meat from the offering to maintain fellowship with Yahweh is eaten on the third day, Yahweh will not accept that offering; it will be useless to offer it, because Yahweh will consider that it is worthless. Anyone who eats some of it will have to pay a penalty [to Yahweh].
Sɛ obi we deɛ adi nnansa no bi a, Awurade rennye afɔrebɔdeɛ no; na ɛrenni mu sɛ afɔrebɔdeɛ, na onipa a ɔde baeɛ sɛ wɔmfa mmɔ saa afɔdeɛ no rennya ho mfasoɔ biara. Ɔsɔfoɔ a ɔbɛwe no nso bɛdi ho fɔ, ɛfiri sɛ, ɛyɛ akyiwadeɛ ma Awurade; na onipa a ɔbɛwe saa ɛnam no, ɛsɛ sɛ ɔyi ne ho ano wɔ saa bɔne no ho.
19 “Meat that touches something [that God considers to be] impure must not be eaten; it must be completely burned. Anyone who has performed the rituals to become acceptable to God is allowed to eat other meat [which has been offered as a sacrifice].
“‘Ɛnam biara a ɛka biribi a wɔntee ho no, wɔnnwe; wɔnhye no. Ɛnam biara a aka deɛ, obiara a ne ho te wɔ ho kwan sɛ ɔwe.
20 But if anyone who has not performed those rituals eats some of the meat of the offering to maintain fellowship with Yahweh, meat that belongs to Yahweh, he must no longer be allowed to associate with God’s people.
Ɔsɔfoɔ biara a ne ho nte na ɔbɛdi asomdwoeɛ afɔdeɛ no bi no, wɔbɛtwa no asuo, ɛfiri sɛ, wagu ade kronkron ho fi.
21 If anyone touches something that God considers to be impure and very displeasing to him, whether it is from a human or from an animal, and then he eats any of the meat of the offering to maintain fellowship with Yahweh, meat that belongs to Yahweh, he must no longer be allowed to associate with God’s people.”
Obiara a ɔde ne nsa bɛka biribi a ɛho nte no, sɛ ɛyɛ onipa anaa aboa na ɔguu ho fi na ɔbɛdii asomdwoeɛ afɔrebɔdeɛ no bi no, wɔbɛtwa no asuo, ɛfiri sɛ, wagu ade kronkron ho fi.’”
22 Yahweh also said to Moses/me:
Afei, Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose sɛ,
23 “Say this to the Israeli people: ‘Do not eat any of the fat of cattle or sheep or goats.
“Ka kyerɛ Israelfoɔ no sɛ wɔnnni sradeɛ, sɛ ɛfiri anantwie, nnwan anaa mmirekyie mu.
24 The fat of an animal that is found dead or that has been killed by a wild animal may be used for other purposes, but you must not eat it.
Sɛ yadeɛ bi bɔ aboa bi na ɔwu anaasɛ mmoa bɔne bi taataa aboa foforɔ bi so kum no a, wɔnnni ne sradeɛ na mmom, wɔmfa nyɛ ade foforɔ.
25 Anyone who eats the fat of an animal from which an offering has been made to Yahweh must no longer be allowed to associate with God’s people.
Obiara a ɔbɛdi sradeɛ a ɛfiri afɔrebɔdeɛ a wɔbɔ no ogya so de ma Awurade no, wɔbɛtwa no asuo.
26 And wherever you live, you must not eat the blood of any bird or animal.
Monnni mogya—sɛ ɛyɛ nnomaa anaa ntɔteboa.
27 If anyone eats blood, he must no longer be allowed to associate with God’s people.’”
Obiara a ɔbɛyɛ saa no, wɔbɛtwa no asuo.”
28 Yahweh also said to Moses/me,
Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose sɛ,
29 “Tell the Israeli people this: ‘Anyone who brings an offering to maintain fellowship with Yahweh must bring part of it to be a sacrifice to Yahweh.
“Ka kyerɛ Israelfoɔ sɛ, obiara a ɔpɛ sɛ ɔbɔ Awurade asomdwoeɛ afɔdeɛ no, ɔno ara mfa nkura ne nsam mfa mmra.
30 He himself must bring the offering that will be burned in the fire. He must bring the fat along with the breast of the animal and lift it up in front of Yahweh to indicate that it is an offering to him.
Ɔmfa afɔrebɔdeɛ a ɛyɛ sradeɛ ne ne yan a wɔbɛhim no afɔrebukyia no anim de ama Awurade no mmra.
31 The Supreme Priest must burn the fat on the altar, but the breast belongs to Aaron and all his sons.
Afei, ɔsɔfoɔ no bɛhye sradeɛ no wɔ afɔrebukyia no so na ne yan no deɛ, Aaron ne ne mmammarima bɛfa,
32 You must give to the Supreme Priest the right thigh of the animal that is sacrificed to maintain fellowship with Yahweh.
na ɔsɔfoɔ a ɔredi dwuma no afa ne srɛ nifa no.
33 The son of Aaron who offers the blood and the fat of that sacrifice must be given the right thigh of the animal as his share.
Na Aaron mmammarima no mu deɛ ɔde mogya ne sradeɛ a ɛfiri afɔrebɔdeɛ no mu bɛba afɔrebukyia no so na ɔbɛfa srɛ nifa no.
34 From the offerings that the Israeli people give to maintain fellowship with Yahweh, he has declared that he has given to Aaron and his sons the breast that is lifted up and the right thigh that is offered; those portions must always be their regular share from the Israeli people.’”
Mahyɛ sɛ wɔmfa ne yan no ne ne srɛ no mma sɛ akyɛdeɛ a ɛfiri Israelfoɔ nkyɛn a wɔde rebrɛ Aaron mmammarima. Ɛberɛ biara, wɔmfa saa afɔrebɔdeɛ no kyɛfa yi no mma Aaron ne ne mmammarima.”
35 Those are the portions of the offerings brought/given to Yahweh and burned in fire that are allotted to Aaron and his sons on the day that they are set apart to serve Yahweh as priests.
Wɔn akatua ne no: Ɔhyeɛ afɔrebɔ no, wɔde bɛto nkyɛn na wɔde ama wɔn a wɔayi wɔn sɛ Awurade asɔfoɔ a ɛyɛ Aaron ne ne mmammarima.
36 Yahweh commands that on the day that the priests are appointed [MTY], the Israeli people must always give those portions to the priests.
Ɛfiri sɛ, ɛda a Awurade sraa wɔn ngo no, ɔhyɛɛ sɛ Israelfoɔ mfa saa kyɛfa no mma wɔn; ɛyɛ wɔn kyɛfa daa daa firi awoɔ ntoatoasoɔ so kɔsi awoɔ ntoatoasoɔ so.
37 Those are the regulations for the offerings that are to be completely burned on the altar, the offerings made from grain, the offerings to enable people to become acceptable to God again, the offerings for when people are guilty of not giving to Yahweh the things that are required to be given to him, the offerings given when the priests are appointed, and the offerings to maintain fellowship with Yahweh.
Yeinom ne amanneɛ a ɛfa ɔhyeɛ afɔrebɔ, atokoɔ afɔrebɔ, bɔne afɔrebɔ, ɛfɔdie afɔrebɔ, ahoteɛ afɔrebɔ ne asomdwoeɛ afɔrebɔ ho.
38 They are regulations that Yahweh gave to Moses/me on Sinai Mountain in the Sinai Desert, on the day that he commanded the Israeli people to start bringing their offerings to him.
Awurade de saa mmara yi maa Mose wɔ Sinai Bepɔ so sɛ ɔno nso mfa mma Israelfoɔ no sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a, wɔbɛhunu ɛkwan a ɛsɛ sɛ wɔfa so bɔ wɔn afɔdeɛ ahodoɔ no de ma Onyankopɔn wɔ Sinai ɛserɛ so hɔ.
