Numbers 5
1 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
Eyi ne mmara a Awurade san hyɛ maa Mose:
2 “Command the children of Israel that they put out of the camp every leper, everyone who has a discharge, and whoever is unclean by a corpse.
“Ka kyerɛ Israelfo no se, ɛsɛ sɛ wɔpam akwatafo nyinaa fi atenae hɔ. Wɔn a kuru atutu wɔn ne wɔn a wɔde wɔn nsa akɔka funu nti wɔn ho agu fi nyinaa no, ɛsɛ sɛ wɔpam wɔn.
3 You shall put both male and female outside of the camp so that they don’t defile their camp, in the midst of which I dwell.”
Mmarima ne mmea nyinaa ka ho. Yi wɔn nyinaa fi hɔ, sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ na atenae a me ne mo bɛtena no ho rengu fi.”
4 The children of Israel did so, and put them outside of the camp; as Yahweh spoke to Moses, so the children of Israel did.
Wodii Awurade mmara no so.
5 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
Afei, Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose se,
6 “Speak to the children of Israel: ‘When a man or woman commits any sin that men commit, so as to trespass against Yahweh, and that soul is guilty,
“Ka kyerɛ Israelfo no se, sɛ ɔbarima o, ɔbea o, odi Awurade huammɔ a, ɛyɛ bɔne.
7 then he shall confess his sin which he has done; and he shall make restitution for his guilt in full, add to it the fifth part of it, and give it to him in respect of whom he has been guilty.
Ɛsɛ sɛ ɔka ne bɔne na ade a owiae no, otua ho ka nyinaa na ɔsan de ɛho ka no nkyɛmu ɔha mu aduonu ka ho de ma onipa ko a ɔbɔɔ no korɔn no.
8 But if the man has no kinsman to whom restitution may be made for the guilt, the restitution for guilt which is made to Yahweh shall be the priest’s, in addition to the ram of the atonement, by which atonement shall be made for him.
Na sɛ onipa ko a wɔyɛɛ no bɔne no awu na onni obusuani biara a ɔbɛn no a wobetua ho ka ama no, na ɛsɛ sɛ wotua ma ɔsɔfo a, ɛsɛ sɛ wɔde odwennini ka ho sɛ mpatade. Ɛyɛ Awurade de.
9 Every heave offering of all the holy things of the children of Israel, which they present to the priest, shall be his.
Akyɛde kronkron a Israelfo de bɛkyɛ ɔsɔfo no yɛ ne de.
10 Every man’s holy things shall be his; whatever any man gives the priest, it shall be his.’”
Ɔsɔfo biara bɛfa akyɛde kronkron biara a ne nsa bɛka.”
11 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose se,
12 “Speak to the children of Israel, and tell them: ‘If any man’s wife goes astray and is unfaithful to him,
“Ka kyerɛ Israelfo no se, sɛ ɔbarima bi yere kɔbɔ aguaman
13 and a man lies with her carnally, and it is hidden from the eyes of her husband and this is kept concealed, and she is defiled, there is no witness against her, and she isn’t taken in the act;
nanso onhu asɛm no mu nokware na onya ɔdanseni
14 and the spirit of jealousy comes on him, and he is jealous of his wife and she is defiled; or if the spirit of jealousy comes on him, and he is jealous of his wife and she isn’t defiled;
na ɔtwe ho ninkunu na ɔnte ne ho ase a,
15 then the man shall bring his wife to the priest, and shall bring her offering for her: one tenth of an ephah of barley meal. He shall pour no oil on it, nor put frankincense on it, for it is a meal offering of jealousy, a meal offering of memorial, bringing iniquity to memory.
ɔbarima no de ne yere no bɛkɔ ɔsɔfo anim a ɔbea no ho afɔrebɔde a ɛyɛ atokosiam a wɔmfaa ohuam ngo mfrae lita abien ka ho. Efisɛ ɛyɛ ninkutwe afɔrebɔ. Ɛno na ɛbɛma nokware ada adi ama wɔahu sɛ ɔbea no di fɔ anaa odi bem.
16 The priest shall bring her near, and set her before Yahweh.
“Ɔsɔfo no de ɔbea no bɛba Awurade anim,
17 The priest shall take holy water in an earthen vessel; and the priest shall take some of the dust that is on the floor of the tabernacle and put it into the water.
na wasaw Ahyiae Ntamadan no mu mfutuma de afra nsu kronkron a egu asuhina kɛse bi mu no.
18 The priest shall set the woman before Yahweh, and let the hair of the woman’s head go loose, and put the meal offering of memorial in her hands, which is the meal offering of jealousy. The priest shall have in his hand the water of bitterness that brings a curse.
Ɔbɛsan ne ti a wakyekyere no na ɔde ninkunu afɔrebɔde no agu ne nsam de ahwɛ sɛ ɔbarima no nsusuwii no yɛ nokware ampa ara anaasɛ ɛnyɛ nokware. Ɔsɔfo no begyina nʼanim a okura nsu nwenweenwen a ɛde mmusu ba no.
19 The priest shall cause her to take an oath and shall tell the woman, “If no man has lain with you, and if you haven’t gone aside to uncleanness, being under your husband’s authority, be free from this water of bitterness that brings a curse.
Ɔbɛma no aka ntam sɛ onnim asɛm no ho hwee na waka akyerɛ no se, sɛ wo ne ɔbarima biara nnae ka wo kunu nko ara ho de a, ɛno de, wo ho ntew mfi nsu nwenweenwen a ɛde mmusu ba yi ho. Na sɛ woabɔ aguaman a, ɛno de, Awurade bɛdome wo wɔ wo nkurɔfo mu. Ɔbɛma wo srɛ aporɔw na wo yafunu ahon. Na ɔbea no bɛka se, ‘Yiw, saa na ɛsɛ sɛ ɛba.’
20 But if you have gone astray, being under your husband’s authority, and if you are defiled, and some man has lain with you besides your husband—”
21 then the priest shall cause the woman to swear with the oath of cursing, and the priest shall tell the woman, “May Yahweh make you a curse and an oath among your people, when Yahweh allows your thigh to fall away, and your body to swell;
22 and this water that brings a curse will go into your bowels, and make your body swell, and your thigh fall away.” The woman shall say, “Amen, Amen.”
23 “‘The priest shall write these curses in a book, and he shall wipe them into the water of bitterness.
“Ɔsɔfo no bɛkyerɛw nnome yi nyinaa agu nhoma bi mu na wahohoro agu nsu nwenweenwen no mu.
24 He shall make the woman drink the water of bitterness that causes the curse; and the water that causes the curse shall enter into her and become bitter.
Sɛ ɛsɛ sɛ ɔbea no nom nsu no na sɛ ɔnom wɔ bere a wayɛ bɔne a, ɛyɛ nwenweenwen wɔ ne mu.
25 The priest shall take the meal offering of jealousy out of the woman’s hand, and shall wave the meal offering before Yahweh, and bring it to the altar.
Afei, ɔsɔfo no begye ninkunu afɔrebɔde no afi ɔbea no nsam na wahinhim wɔ Awurade anim na ɔde akɔ afɔremuka no so.
26 The priest shall take a handful of the meal offering, as its memorial portion, and burn it on the altar, and afterward shall make the woman drink the water.
Ɔbɛsaw ne nsa ma de asi ne nyinaa anan na wahyew no wɔ afɔremuka no so na wama ɔbea no anom nsu no.
27 When he has made her drink the water, then it shall happen, if she is defiled and has committed a trespass against her husband, that the water that causes the curse will enter into her and become bitter, and her body will swell, and her thigh will fall away; and the woman will be a curse among her people.
Sɛ ne ho agu fi na wabɔ aguaman atia ne kunu a, nsu a wanom no bɛyɛ nwenweenwen wɔ ne mu na ne yafunu ahon na ne srɛ aporɔw na wayɛ nnome wɔ ne nkurɔfo mu.
28 If the woman isn’t defiled, but is clean; then she shall be free, and shall conceive offspring.
Sɛ ɔyɛ kronkron a ɔmmɔɔ aguaman a, wɔrenhaw no, na ɛrenkyɛ, obenyinsɛn.
29 “‘This is the law of jealousy, when a wife, being under her husband, goes astray, and is defiled,
“Eyi ne mmara a ɛfa ɔbea a ne bra nye na ne kunu twe ne ho ninkunu
30 or when the spirit of jealousy comes on a man, and he is jealous of his wife; then he shall set the woman before Yahweh, and the priest shall execute on her all this law.
de hwehwɛ mu hu sɛ odi ne kunu nokware anaa onni no nokware no ho. Ɔde no bɛba Awurade anim na ɔsɔfo no adi dwuma a wɔabobɔ so no nyinaa.
31 The man shall be free from iniquity, and that woman shall bear her iniquity.’”
Wɔrenni ne kunu no asɛm wɔ baabiara sɛ wama ɔyare bɔne bi aba ne yere so, efisɛ ɛyɛ ɔno ara na ɔma ɛbaa saa.”
