< Leviticus 14 >
1 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose sɛ,
2 This shall be the law of the leper in the day of his cleansing: He shall be brought to the priest:
“Ɛda a wɔbɛdwira ɔkwatani ho no, ɛho mmara nie: Wɔde no bɛkɔ akɔma ɔsɔfoɔ,
3 And the priest shall go forth out of the camp: and the priest shall look, and behold, [if] the plague of leprosy is healed in the leper;
na ɔsɔfoɔ no ahwɛ no wɔ sraban no akyi. Na sɛ ɔsɔfoɔ no hunu sɛ kwata no agyae a,
4 Then shall the priest command to take for him that is to be cleansed two birds alive, [and] clean, and cedar-wood, and scarlet, and hyssop.
ɔbɛbisa nnomaa mmienu bi a wɔwe, na afei wɔde ntweneduro, koogyan ahoma ne hisope mman a wɔde bɛyɛ ahodwira ahyɛdeɛ ama ɔkwatani no abrɛ no.
5 And the priest shall command that one of the birds be killed in an earthen vessel, over running water.
Ɔsɔfoɔ no bɛka ama wɔakum nnomaa no mu baako wɔ ayowaa a nsuo wɔ mu so.
6 As for the living bird, he shall take it, and the cedar-wood, and the scarlet, and the hyssop, and shall dip them, and the living bird, in the blood of the bird [that was] killed over the running water.
Na anomaa a wɔnnya nkum no no nso, wɔde ɔno ne ntweneduro no ne koogyan ahoma no ne hisope mman no bɛhyɛ anomaa a wɔkumm no no mogya no mu.
7 And he shall sprinkle upon him that is to be cleansed from the leprosy seven times, and shall pronounce him clean, and shall let the living bird loose into the open field.
Na ɔsɔfoɔ no apete mogya no agu ɔkwatani a ne ho afiri no so mprɛnson, na wapae mu aka sɛ ne ho ate na wagyaa anomaa a wɔnkum no no.
8 And he that is to be cleansed shall wash his clothes, and shave off all his hair, and wash himself in water, that he may be clean: and after that he shall come into the camp, and shall tarry abroad out of his tent seven days.
“Na ɔyarefoɔ a ne ho atɔ no no bɛsi ne ntoma nyinaa. Ɔbɛyi ne ho nwi nyinaa nso. Ɔbɛdware na wasane abɛtena baabi a kane no na ɔte hɔ bio; nanso ɛsɛ sɛ ɔtena ne ntomadan akyi nnanson.
9 But it shall be on the seventh day, that he shall shave all his hair off his head, and his beard, and his eye-brows, even all his hair he shall shave off; and he shall wash his clothes, also he shall wash his flesh in water, and he shall be clean.
Nnanson no so no, ɔbɛyi ne ho nwi nyinaa bio, ɔbɛyi nʼabɔgyesɛ ayi nʼanintɔn nwi na wayi ne ho nwi a aka nyinaa, na wadware, na afei wɔapae mu aka sɛ ne ho ate.
10 And on the eighth day he shall take two he-lambs without blemish, and one ewe-lamb of the first year without blemish, and three tenth-parts of fine flour [for] a meat-offering, mingled with oil, and one log of oil.
“Ɛda a ɛdi so a ɛyɛ nnawɔtwe so no, ɔbɛfa nnwammaa anini mmienu a wɔn ho nni dɛm ne odwammaa bereɛ baako a ɔno nso ho nni dɛm, asikyiresiam muhumuhu lita nsia a wɔde ngo afra ne ngo a wɔmfa mfraa hwee lita fa.
11 And the priest that maketh [him] clean, shall present the man that is to be made clean, and those things, before the LORD, [at] the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.
Afei ɔsɔfoɔ a ɔbɛhwehwɛ ɔyarefoɔ no ho ahwɛ sɛ ne ho atɔ no no de onipa no ne nʼafɔrebɔdeɛ bɛba Awurade anim wɔ Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no ano.
12 And the priest shall take one he-lamb, and offer him for a trespass-offering, and the log of oil, and wave them [for] a wave-offering before the LORD.
“Ɔsɔfoɔ no bɛfa nnwammaa no baako ne ngotoa baako no na ɔde ama Awurade sɛ ɛfɔdie afɔrebɔ a wɔhim no wɔ afɔrebukyia no anim.
13 And he shall slay the lamb in the place where he shall kill the sin-offering and the burnt-offering, in the holy-place: for as the sin-offering [is] the priest's, [so is] the trespass-offering: it [is] most holy.
Afei, wɔbɛkum odwammaa no wɔ beaeɛ a wɔbɔ bɔne ne ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ no wɔ kronkronbea hɔ. Wɔde saa afɔdie afɔrebɔdeɛ yi bɛma ɔsɔfoɔ no sɛdeɛ wɔyɛ no bɔne afɔrebɔ mu no ara pɛ. Ɛyɛ afɔrebɔ a ɛyɛ kronkron ankasa.
14 And the priest shall take [some] of the blood of the trespass-offering, and the priest shall put [it] upon the tip of the right ear of him that is to be cleansed, and upon the thumb of his right hand, and upon the great toe of his right foot.
Ɔsɔfoɔ no bɛfa saa ɛfɔdie afɔrebɔdeɛ mogya na ɔde akeka ɔyarefoɔ a wɔrete ne ho no aso nifa ase ne ne nsa nifa kokurobetie ne ne nan nifa kokurobetie.
15 And the priest shall take [some] of the log of oil, and pour [it] into the palm of his own left hand:
Afei, ɔsɔfoɔ no bɛfa ngo no bi ahwie agu ne nsa benkum mu
16 And the priest shall dip his right finger in the oil that [is] in his left hand, and shall sprinkle of the oil with his finger seven times before the LORD.
na ɔde ne nsa nifa abɔ mu, na watu apete mprɛnson wɔ Awurade anim.
17 And of the rest of the oil that [is] in his hand, shall the priest put upon the tip of the right ear of him that is to be cleansed, and upon the thumb of his right hand, and upon the great toe of his right foot, upon the blood of the trespass-offering.
Ngo no a ɛbɛka ne nsa benkum mu no, ɔsɔfoɔ no de bɛka onipa no aso nifa ase ne ne nsa nifa kokurobetie ne ne nan nifa kokurobetie sɛdeɛ ɔde ɛfɔdie mogya yɛeɛ wɔ ɛfɔdie afɔrebɔ no mu no ara pɛ.
18 And the remnant of the oil that [is] in the priest's hand he shall pour upon the head of him that is to be cleansed: and the priest shall make an atonement for him before the LORD.
Ɔde ngo no nkaeɛ a ɛwɔ ne nsam no bɛfɔ ɔbarima no tiri ho. Yei bɛkyerɛ sɛ, ɔsɔfoɔ no de ne ho ayɛ mpatadeɛ ama onipa no wɔ Awurade anim.
19 And the priest shall offer the sin-offering, and make an atonement for him that is to be cleansed from his uncleanness; and afterward he shall kill the burnt-offering.
“Afei, ɛsɛ sɛ ɔsɔfoɔ no bɔ bɔne afɔdeɛ na ɔsane yɛ mpatadeɛ ho adeɛ ma onipa a wɔrehohoro ne ho afiri ne kwata mu no ho; ɛno akyi, ɔsɔfoɔ no bɛkum ɔhyeɛ afɔrebɔdeɛ no
20 And the priest shall offer the burnt-offering, and the meat-offering upon the altar: and the priest shall make an atonement for him, and he shall be clean.
na ɔde abɔ ɛne atokoɔ afɔdeɛ wɔ afɔrebukyia no so de ayɛ mpatadeɛ ama ɔbarima no na afei, wapae mu aka sɛ ne ho afiri.
21 And if he [is] poor, and cannot get so much; then he shall take one lamb [for] a trespass-offering to be waved, to make an atonement for him, and one tenth-part of fine flour mingled with oil for a meat-offering, and a log of oil;
“Sɛ ɔyɛ ohiani a ɔrentumi ntɔ nnwammaa mmienu no a, ɛnneɛ, ɔde odwammaanini baako bɛbɔ ɛfɔdie afɔdeɛ no de ama Awurade sɛ mpatadeɛ a wɔhim no afɔrebukyia no anim; na wɔde asikyiresiam fitaa muhumuhu lita mmienu ne fa a wɔde ngo afra de abɔ atokoɔ afɔdeɛ no a ngo akɔtoa ka ho.
22 And two turtle-doves, or two young pigeons, such as he is able to get; and the one shall be a sin-offering, and the other a burnt-offering.
Ɛno akyi, ɔde mmorɔnoma mmienu anaa nturukuku mma mmienu mu biara a ɔbɛnya no mu baako bɛbɔ bɔne afɔdeɛ na ɔde baako a ɔbɛka no nso abɔ ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ.
23 And he shall bring them on the eighth day for his cleansing to the priest, to the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, before the LORD.
“Ɛda a ɛtɔ so nnwɔtwe no, ɔde ne nyinaa bɛkɔ akɔma ɔsɔfoɔ no wɔ Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no ano na ɔsɔfoɔ no de adwira no wɔ Awurade anim.
24 And the priest shall take the lamb of the trespass-offering, and the log of oil, and the priest shall wave them [for] a wave-offering before the LORD.
Ɔsɔfoɔ no bɛfa odwammaa no de abɔ ɛfɔdie afɔdeɛ. Ɔde ngo toa ma bɛka ho na wahim no afɔrebukyia no anim de akyerɛ sɛ, wɔde rema Awurade.
25 And he shall kill the lamb of the trespass-offering, and the priest shall take [some] of the blood of the trespass-offering, and put [it] upon the tip of the right ear of him that is to be cleansed, and upon the thumb of his right hand, and upon the great toe of his right foot.
Afei, wɔbɛkum odwammaa no de no abɔ ɛfɔdie afɔdeɛ na ɔde ne mogya no bi akeka ɔbarima a wɔredwira no no aso nifa ase. Ɔde mogya no bi bɛka ne nsa nifa kokurobetie ne ne nan nifa kokurobetie.
26 And the priest shall pour of the oil into the palm of his own left hand.
Ɔsɔfoɔ no bɛhwie ngo agu ɔno ara ne nsa benkum mu
27 And the priest shall sprinkle with his right finger [some] of the oil that [is] in his left hand seven times before the LORD:
na ɔde ne nsateaa nifa abɔ mu apete bi mprɛnson wɔ Awurade anim.
28 And the priest shall put of the oil that [is] in his hand upon the tip of the right ear of him that is to be cleansed, and upon the thumb of his right hand, and upon the great toe of his right foot, upon the place of the blood of the trespass-offering.
Na ɛsɛ sɛ ɔde ngo a ɛwɔ ne nsam no bi ka ɔbarima no aso nifa ase ne ne nsa nifa kokurobetie ne ne nan nifa kokurobetie sɛdeɛ ɔyɛɛ mogya no ɛberɛ a ɔrebɔ ɛfɔdie afɔdeɛ no.
29 And the rest of the oil that [is] in the priest's hand he shall put upon the head of him that is to be cleansed, to make an atonement for him before the LORD.
Ngo no a ɛbɛka wɔ ne nsam no, ɛsɛ sɛ ɔde fɔ ɔbarima a wɔredwira no no tiri ho de yɛ mpatadeɛ wɔ Awurade anim.
30 And he shall offer one of the turtle-doves, or of the young pigeons, such as he can get;
Afei, ɛsɛ sɛ ɔde nturukuku mmienu anaa mmorɔnoma mmienu no mu biara a ɔtumi tɔeɛ no ba.
31 [Even] such as he is able to get, the one [for] a sin-offering, and the other [for] a burnt-offering, with the meat-offering. And the priest shall make an atonement for him that is to be cleansed, before the LORD.
Wɔde mmienu a ɔnyaeɛ no mu baako bɛbɔ bɔne afɔdeɛ na baako a aka no, ɔde abɔ ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ a saa ɛberɛ no ara mu wɔbɛbɔ atokoɔ afɔdeɛ nso, na ɔsɔfoɔ no bɛyɛ mpatadeɛ ama ɔbarima no wɔ Awurade anim.”
32 This [is] the law [of him] in whom is the plague of leprosy, whose hand is not able to get [that which pertaineth] to his cleansing.
Yeinom ne mmara a ɛfa wɔn a wɔte wɔn ho ma wɔn ho fi kwata mu nanso wɔntumi mfa afɔrebɔdeɛ a ɛho hia no nyinaa mma no.
33 And the LORD spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,
Afei, Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose ne Aaron sɛ,
34 When ye shall have come into the land of Canaan, which I give to you for a possession, and I put the plague of leprosy in a house of the land of your possession;
“Sɛ moduru Kanaan asase a mede ama mo no so, na sɛ mede kwata kɔ afie bi mu a,
35 And he that owneth the house shall come and tell the priest, saying, it seemeth to me [there is] as it were a plague in the house:
ɛnneɛ, efiewura no nyi ne ho adi nkyerɛ ɔsɔfoɔ no na ɔnka sɛ, ‘Ɛyɛ me sɛ kwata wɔ me fie ha!’
36 Then the priest shall command that they empty the house, before the priest shall enter to see the plague, that all that [is] in the house may not be made unclean; and afterward the priest shall go in to see the house:
Ɔsɔfoɔ no bɛhyɛ ama wɔatu efie hɔ nneɛma nyinaa ansa na wahwɛ hɔ sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a, sɛ ɔka sɛ kwata wɔ fie hɔ a, ɛrengu biribi foforɔ ho fi wɔ hɔ.
37 And he shall look on the plague, and behold, [if] the plague [is] in the walls of the house, with hollow streaks, greenish, or reddish, which in sight [are] lower than the wall;
Sɛ ɔhunu nsensaneɛ ahahammono anaa kɔkɔɔ wɔ efie no afasuo ho a anonom kɔ afasuo no mu a,
38 Then the priest shall go out of the house to the door of the house, and shut up the house seven days:
ɔbɛto efie no mu nnanson
39 And the priest shall come again the seventh day, and shall look; and behold, [if] the plague is spread in the walls of the house;
na ne nnanson so no, wasane aba bio abɛhwɛ. Na sɛ nsensaneɛ awurawura afasuo no mu a,
40 Then the priest shall command that they take away the stones in which the plague [is], and they shall cast them into an unclean place without the city:
ɛnneɛ, ɔsɔfoɔ no bɛhyɛ ama wɔawerɛwerɛ nsisiiɛ no afiri hɔ na wɔato nwerɛwerɛeɛ no agu baabi a ɛhɔ ho nte wɔ kuro no akyi baabi.
41 And he shall cause the house to be scraped within on all sides, and they shall pour out the dust that they scrape off without the city into an unclean place:
Afei, ɔbɛhyɛ ama afasuo a ɛwɔ efie no mu no, wɔawerɛwerɛ no yie na wɔato nwerɛwerɛeɛ no agu baabi a ɛhɔ nte wɔ kuro no akyi baabi.
42 And they shall take other stones, and put [them] in the place of those stones; and he shall take other mortar, and shall plaster the house.
Na wɔde aboɔ foforɔ bi abɛhyɛ deɛ wɔwerɛwerɛeɛ no anan na wɔde dɔteɛ foforɔ asra efie no ho.
43 And if the plague shall return, and break out in the house, after that he hath taken away the stones, and after he hath scraped the house, and after it is plastered;
“Na sɛ nsisiiɛ no ba bio a,
44 Then the priest shall come and look; and behold, [if] the plague is spread in the house, it [is] a fretting leprosy in the house: it [is] unclean.
ɔsɔfoɔ no bɛba bio abɛhwɛ na sɛ ɔhunu sɛ nsisiiɛ no atrɛtrɛ a, na ɛyɛ kwata na ɛkyerɛ sɛ efie no ho nte.
45 And he shall break down the house, its stones, and its timber, and all the mortar of the house: and he shall carry [them] forth out of the city to an unclean place.
Sɛ ɛba saa a, ɔbɛhyɛ ama wɔabubu efie no agu. Wɔbɛtwe mmubuiɛ no mu aboɔ, nnua ne dɔteɛ no nyinaa afiri kuro no mu de akɔgu kuro no akyi baabi a ɛhɔ ho nte.
46 Moreover, he that goeth into the house all the while that it is shut up, shall be unclean until the evening.
“Obiara a ɔbɛwura efie a wɔato mu no mu no ho nte kɔsi anwummerɛ.
47 And he that lieth in the house shall wash his clothes: and he that eateth in the house shall wash his clothes.
Na obiara a ɔbɛda hɔ anaa ɔbɛdidi wɔ efie hɔ no bɛsi ne nneɛma nyinaa.
48 And if the priest shall come in, and look [upon it], and behold, the plague hath not spread in the house, after the house was plastered: then the priest shall pronounce the house clean, because the plague is healed.
“Na sɛ wɔsra efie no ho bio na ɔsɔfoɔ no bɛhwɛ na nsisiiɛ no mmaa bio a, ɔbɛpae mu aka sɛ wɔate efie no ho na kwata no nso kɔ.
49 And he shall take to cleanse the house two birds, and cedar-wood, and scarlet, and hyssop:
Ɔbɛdi efie no ahodwira ho dwuma. Ɔde nnomaa mmienu, sida dua, asaawa kɔkɔɔ ne hisope mman na ɛbɛdi saa dwuma no.
50 And he shall kill one of the birds in an earthen vessel, over running water:
Ɔbɛkum nnomaa no baako wɔ nsu pa a ɛwɔ ayowaa mu so,
51 And he shall take the cedar-wood, and the hyssop, and the scarlet, and the living bird, and dip them in the blood of the slain bird, and in the running water, and sprinkle the house seven times:
na ɔde sida dua no ne hisope mman ne ahoma kɔkɔɔ ne anomaa a wɔnkum no no anu anomaa a wakum no nsu pa no so no mogya mu na wɔde apete efie no mprɛnson.
52 And he shall cleanse the house with the blood of the bird, and with the running water, and with the living bird, and with the cedar wood, and with the hyssop, and with the scarlet:
Wɔyɛ yei de te efie no ho.
53 But he shall let go the living bird out of the city into the open fields, and make an atonement for the house: and it shall be clean.
Afei, ɔbɛgyae anomaa a ɔnwuiɛ no ama watu akɔ kuro no akyi baabi. Yei ne ɛkwan a wɔfa so de yɛ mpatadeɛ de ma efie sane de dwira ho no.”
54 This [is] the law for all manner of plague of leprosy, and scall,
Yeinom ne mmara a ɛfa mmeammea a kwata ba hɔ ho.
55 And for the leprosy of a garment, and of a house,
Sɛ ɛyɛ atadeɛ mu anaa efie mu,
56 And for a rising, and for a scab, and for a bright spot:
anaa honam ani nhonhonoeɛ, anaa ɔhyehyeɛ mu mpumpunnya anaa honam ani baabi a ɛhɔ ayɛ hyɛnn.
57 To teach when [it is] unclean, and when [it is] clean: this [is] the law of leprosy.
Saa ɛkwan yi so na wɔbɛfa ahunu sɛ ɛyɛ kwata anaa ɛnyɛ kwata. Yei enti na wɔhyɛɛ saa mmara yi.
