Leviticus 5
1 And if a soul shall sin, and hear the voice of an oath, and be a witness, whether he hath seen or known of it; if he doth not utter it, then he shall bear his iniquity.
“‘Obiara a ɔnka bɔne bi a onim ho biribi ho hwee no di ho fɔ.
2 Or if a soul shall touch any unclean thing, whether a carcase of an unclean beast, or a carcase of unclean cattle, or the carcase of unclean creeping things, and it shall be hidden from him; he also shall be unclean, and guilty.
“‘Obiara a ɔde ne nsa ka ade bi a amanne kwan so no ɛho ntew, te sɛ aboa bi a ne ho ntew funu, sɛ ɔyɛ wuram aboa, sɛ ɔyɛ afieboa anaa aboa a ɔwea wɔ fam no, mpo sɛ onnim sɛ ne ho agu fi na akyiri no ogye nʼafɔdi to mu,
3 Or if he shall touch the uncleanness of man, whatever uncleanness it may be that a man shall be defiled with, and it be hid from him; when he knoweth of it, then he shall be guilty.
anaa sɛ obi anhyɛ da na ɔde ne nsa ka biribi a efi onipa mu a ɛho ntew na ɔte ne ho ase sɛ odi ho fɔ,
4 Or if a soul shall make an oath, pronouncing with his lips to do evil, or to do good, whatever it may be that a man shall pronounce with an oath, and it be hid from him; when he knoweth of it, then he shall be guilty in one of these.
anaa sɛ obi annwene ho na ɔka ntam sɛ ɔbɛyɛ biribi a eye anaa ennye na akyiri no ohu nʼafɔdi;
5 And it shall be, when he shall be guilty in one of these things, that he shall confess that he hath sinned in that thing:
sɛ obi ani ba ne ho so wɔ eyinom biara mu a, ɛsɛ sɛ ɔpae mu ka ne bɔne a wayɛ.
6 And he shall bring his trespass offering to the LORD for his sin which he hath sinned, a female from the flock, a lamb or a kid of the goats, for a sin offering; and the priest shall make an atonement for him concerning his sin.
Ɛsɛ sɛ ɔde oguammere anaa abirekyibere bɔ afɔre ma Awurade wɔ ne bɔne ho asotwe ho. Ɔsɔfo na ɔbɛbɔ onipa ko no bɔne no ho afɔre ama no. Ɔsɔfo no nam saa afɔrebɔ yi so bɛpata ama no.
7 And if he shall not be able to bring a lamb, then he shall bring for his trespass, which he hath committed, two turtledoves, or two young pigeons, to the LORD; one for a sin offering, and the other for a burnt offering.
“‘Sɛ ɔyɛ ohiani a ɔrennya oguamma mfa mma Awurade a, ɔmfa nturukuku abien anaa mmorɔnomamma abien mmra sɛ ne bɔne ho afɔrebɔde. Nnomaa no mu baako bɛyɛ ne bɔne no afɔrebɔde na ɔbaako ayɛ ne hyew afɔrebɔde.
8 And he shall bring them to the priest, who shall offer that which is for the sin offering first, and wring off his head from his neck, but shall not divide it asunder:
Ɔde bɛma ɔsɔfo no na ɔde anomaa a odi kan no abɔ bɔne afɔre no. Obekyim aboa no kɔn nanso ɔrentew ne ti mfi so,
9 And he shall sprinkle of the blood of the sin offering upon the side of the altar; and the rest of the blood shall be wrung out at the bottom of the altar: it is a sin offering.
na wapete ne mogya no bi agu afɔremuka no ho. Mogya no nkae no, obehwie agu afɔremuka no ase. Eyi ne afɔrebɔ kwan a ɛpepa bɔne.
10 And he shall offer the second for a burnt offering, according to the custom: and the priest shall make an atonement for him for his sin which he hath sinned, and it shall be forgiven him.
Na ɔsɔfo no de anomaa a ɔto so abien no bɛbɔ ɔhyew afɔre sɛnea ɔbɔɔ afɔre a edi kan no ara pɛ. Ɔsɔfo no nam saa afɔrebɔ yi so bɛpata ama nea wayɛ bɔne no, na ɛnam so ama wɔde ne bɔne akyɛ no.
11 But if he shall not be able to bring two turtledoves, or two young pigeons, then he that sinned shall bring for his offering the tenth part of an ephah of fine flour for a sin offering; he shall put no oil upon it, neither shall he put any frankincense on it: for it is a sin offering.
“‘Sɛ ɔyɛ ohiani buruburoo a ɔrentumi mfa nturukuku anaa mmorɔnomamma mmɛbɔ ne bɔne ho afɔre a, ɔde asikresiam muhumuhu lita abien ne fa bɛba sɛ ne bɔne ho afɔrebɔde. Ɛnsɛ sɛ ɔde ɔsra ngo fra. Ɛnsɛ sɛ ɔde aduhuam nso gu so, efisɛ ɛyɛ bɔne afɔre.
12 Then shall he bring it to the priest, and the priest shall take his handful of it, even a memorial of it, and burn it on the altar, according to the offerings made by fire to the LORD: it is a sin offering.
Ɔde bɛma ɔsɔfo no. Na ɔsɔfo no asaw ne nsa ma de asi ne nyinaa anan na wahyew no wɔ afɔremuka no so ama Awurade sɛ afɔrebɔde biara. Eyi bɛyɛ ne bɔne ho afɔrebɔ.
13 And the priest shall make an atonement for him as concerning his sin that he hath sinned in one of these, and it shall be forgiven him: and the remnant shall be the priest’s, as a meat offering.
Sɛ ɛba saa a, ɔsɔfo no nam saa afɔrebɔ yi so bɛpata ama onipa no na wɔde ne bɔne no bɛkyɛ no. Asikresiam a aka no, wɔde bɛma ɔsɔfo no te sɛ nnɔbae afɔrebɔde no ara pɛ.’”
14 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
Awurade hyɛɛ mmara maa Mose se,
15 If a soul shall commit a trespass, and sin through ignorance, in the holy things of the LORD; then he shall bring for his trespass to the LORD a ram without blemish out of the flocks, with thy estimation by shekels of silver, after the shekel of the sanctuary, for a trespass offering:
“Sɛ obi anhyɛ da na ogu ade kronkron ho fi a, ɔde odwennini a ne ho nni dɛm a ɔfata sɛ mpata wɔ nʼafɔdi no ho bɛba abɛbɔ Awurade afɔre.
16 And he shall make amends for the harm that he hath done in the holy thing, and shall add to it the fifth part, and give it to the priest: and the priest shall make an atonement for him with the ram of the trespass offering, and it shall be forgiven him.
Ade kronkron a nipa no guu ho fi no nso, ɔde foforo besi anan na watua dekode no bo ɔha mu nkyɛmu aduonu aka ho sɛ asotwe. Ɔde ne nyinaa bɛma ɔsɔfo na ɔde Odwennini no abɔ bɔne afɔre no na wɔde ne bɔne akyɛ no.
17 And if a soul shall sin, and commit any of these things which are forbidden to be done by the commandments of the LORD; though he knew it not, yet is he guilty, and shall bear his iniquity.
“Sɛ obi anhyɛ da na obu Awurade mmara no bi so a, odi fɔ nti ɛsɛ sɛ otua afɔbude a Mose bɛhyɛ no.
18 And he shall bring a ram without blemish out of the flock, with thy estimation, for a trespass offering, to the priest: and the priest shall make an atonement for him concerning his ignorance in which he erred and knew it not, and it shall be forgiven him.
Ɛsɛ sɛ ɔde odwennini anaa ɔpapo a onni dɛm brɛ ɔsɔfo sɛ ne bɔne no ho afɔrebɔde. Na ɔsɔfo no de ayɛ mpata ama no wɔ bɔne biara a ɔyɛe a wanhyɛ da no ho, na wɔde ne bɔne bɛkyɛ no.
19 It is a trespass offering: he hath certainly trespassed against the LORD.
Ɛsɛ sɛ wɔbɔ saa afɔre no sɛ afɔdi afɔre, efisɛ odi fɔ pefee wɔ Awurade anim.”
