Leviticus 21
1 And the Lord seide to Moyses, Speke thou to preestis, the sones of Aaron, and thou schalt seie to hem, A preest be not defoulid in the deed men of hise citeseyns,
Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose se, “Ka kyerɛ Aaron mma asɔfo no se, ‘wonnso funu mu mfa ngu wɔn ho fi.
2 no but oneli in kynesmen and niy of blood, that is, on fadir and modir, and sone and douyter,
Sɛ wobeso funu mu a, na ɛyɛ wɔn fini, sɛ ebia, ɛna, agya, ɔbabarima, ɔbabea, onuabarima
3 and brother and sister, virgyn, which is not weddid to man;
anaa onuabea a ɔyɛ ɔbabun a onni kunu na ɔte ase no na ɔdan ɔsɔfo no.
4 but nether he schal be defoulid in the prince of his puple.
Ɛnsɛ sɛ ɔware ne busuani bi na ɔfa so gu ne ho fi.
5 Preestis schulen not schaue the heed, nether beerd, nether thei schulen make keruyngis in her fleischis; thei schulen be hooli to her God,
“‘Asɔfo no nni ho kwan sɛ wɔbɔ tikwaw, yi wɔn abogyesɛ anaasɛ wɔsesa wɔn ho.
6 and thei schulen not defoule his name; for thei offren encense of the Lord, and the looues of her God, and therfore thei schulen be hooli.
Ɛsɛ sɛ wɔyɛ kronkron ma wɔn Onyankopɔn. Ɛnsɛ sɛ wogu ne din ho fi. Sɛ ɛba saa a, wɔremfata sɛ wɔde ogya bɛbɔ aduan afɔre ama Awurade wɔn Nyankopɔn.
7 A preest schal not wedde a wijf a corrupt womman, and a `foul hoore, nether he schal wedde `hir that is forsakun of the hosebonde, for he is halewid to his God,
“‘Ɛnsɛ sɛ ɔsɔfo ware oguamanfo anaa ɔbea bi a ofi ɔman foforo so. Onni ho kwan sɛ ɔware ɔbea bi a wagyae aware, efisɛ ɔsɔfo yɛ onipa kronkron ma Onyankopɔn.
8 and offrith the looues of settyng forth; therfor be he hooly, for `Y am the hooli Lord that halewith you.
Wɔayi ɔsɔfo no asi hɔ sɛ ɔmmɔ mo Nyankopɔn afɔre; ɔyɛ kronkron na me Awurade a metew mo ho ma moyɛ kronkron no nso meyɛ kronkron.
9 If the `doutir of a preest is takun in defoulyng of virgynite, and defoulith the name of hir fadir, sche schal be brent in flawmes.
“‘Ɔsɔfo babea biara a ɔbɛbɔ aguaman no gu nʼagya ne ɔno ankasa ho fi, enti ɛsɛ sɛ wɔhyew no.
10 The bischop, that is the moost preest among hise britheren, on whose heed the oile of anoyntyng is sched, and whose hondis ben sacrid in preesthod, and he is clothid in hooli clothis, schal not diskyuere his heed, he schal not tere hise clothis,
“‘Ɛnsɛ sɛ ɔsɔfopanyin a wɔde ngo sononko bi asra no ahyɛ no atade sononko no gyaa ne tinwi a onni no ni anaasɛ ebetwa ne ntama mu.
11 and outirli he schal not entre to ony deed man; and he schal not be defoulid on his fadir and modir,
Onni ho kwan sɛ ɔkɔ beae a funu da hɔ; nʼagya anaa ne na funu koraa, onni ho kwan sɛ ɔkɔ ho na ɔde agu ne ho fi
12 nether he schal go out of hooli thingis, lest he defoule the seyntuarie of the Lord, for the oile of hooli anoyntyng of his God is on hym; Y am the Lord.
anaa nso sɛ ogu so reyɛ nʼasɔfodwuma wɔ kronkronbea hɔ a, ɛnsɛ sɛ ofi adi. Ɛnsɛ sɛ ɔfa me kronkronbea no sɛ ofi bi kɛkɛ, efisɛ ne Nyankopɔn ngo a wɔde tew ne ho no da so wɔ ne so. Mene Awurade.
13 He schal wedde a wijf virgyn;
“‘Ɛsɛ sɛ ɔware ɔbabun.
14 he schal not take a widewe, and forsakun, and a foul womman, and hoore, but a damesele of his puple;
Ɛnsɛ se ɔware okunafo anaa ɔbea bi a wagyae aware anaa oguamanfo. Ɛsɛ sɛ ɔbea a ɔbɛware no no yɛ ɔbabun a ofi ne man mu,
15 medle he not the generacioun of his kyn to the comyn puple of his folk, for Y am the Lord, that `halewe hym.
sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a ongu ne mma ho fi wɔ ne nkurɔfo mu. Mene Awurade a metew ne ho no.’”
16 And the Lord spak to Moyses,
Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose se,
17 and seide, Speke thou to Aaron; a man of thi seed, bi meynes, that hath a wem, schal not offre breed to his God,
“Ka kyerɛ Aaron se, efi awo ntoatoaso a ɛbɛba no so rekɔ no, wʼaseni biara a wadi dɛm no nni ho kwan sɛ ɔbɔ Onyankopɔn afɔre.
18 nethir schal neiy to his seruyce;
Obi a wadi dɛm mmɛn me: onifuraefo anaa apakye anaa nea ɔwɔ honam akwaa mu sintɔ;
19 if he is blind; if he is crokid; if he is ether of litil, ether of greet, and wrong nose; if he is `of brokun foot, ethir hond;
obi a ɔyɛ abasin anaa nansin,
20 if he hath a botche; ether if he is blereiyed; if he hath whijt colour in the iye, that lettith the siyt; if he hath contynuel scabbe; if he hath a drye scabbe in the bodi; ethir `is brokun `in the pryuy membris.
anaa nea ɔyɛ afu anaa akwatia anaa nea nʼani nye anaa nea kuru atutu no anaa nea ɔyɛ twow.
21 Ech man of the seed of Aaron preest, which man hath a wem, schal not neiye to offre sacrifices to the Lord, nether `to offre looues to his God;
Ɔsɔfo Aaron aseni biara a wadi dɛm mma mmɛbɔ ɔhyew afɔre mma Awurade. Wadi dɛm, ɛno nti ɛnsɛ sɛ otwiw bɛn sɛ ɔde ne Nyankopɔn aduan rebrɛ no.
22 netheles he schal ete the looues that ben offrid in the seyntuarie,
Nanso sɛ wɔbɔ afɔre no wie a, ɔsɔfo no tumi ma no Onyankopɔn afɔre no aduan no bi di a ɛmfa ho sɛ ɛyɛ afɔre kronkron.
23 so oneli that he entre not with ynne the veil; he schal not neiye to the auter, for he hath a wem, and he schal not defoule my seyntuarie; Y am the Lord that halewe hem.
Nanso ne dɛm no nti, onni ho kwan sɛ ɔkɔ ntwamtam no akyi anaa ɔbɛn afɔremuka no. Eyi begu me kronkronbea hɔ ho fi na ɛyɛ Awurade na watew hɔ ho.”
24 Therfor Moises spak to Aaron, and to hise sones, and to al Israel, alle thingis that weren comaundid to hym.
Enti Mose hyɛɛ mmara yi maa Aaron ne ne mmabarima ne Israelfo nyinaa.
