< Leviticus 5 >
1 'And when a person doth sin, and hath heard the voice of an oath, and he [is] witness, or hath seen, or hath known — if he declare not, then he hath borne his iniquity:
“‘Obiara a ɔnka bɔne bi a ɔnim ho biribi ho hwee no di ho fɔ.
2 'Or when a person cometh against any thing unclean, or against a carcase of an unclean beast, or against a carcase of unclean cattle, or against a carcase of an unclean teeming creature, and it hath been hidden from him, and he unclean, and guilty;
“‘Obiara a ɔde ne nsa ka adeɛ bi a amanneɛ kwan so, ɛho nte, te sɛ aboa bi a ne ho nteɛ no funu, sɛ ɔyɛ wiram aboa, sɛ ɔyɛ afieboa anaa aboa a ɔwea fam no, mpo sɛ wɔnnim sɛ wɔn ho agu fi a, wɔbɛfa no sɛ wɔn ho nte na wɔdi fɔ.
3 'Or when he cometh against uncleanness of man, even any of his uncleanness whereby he is unclean, and it hath been hidden from him, and he hath known, and hath been guilty:
Sɛ obi anhyɛ da na ɔde ne nsa ka biribi a ɛfiri onipa mu a ɛho nte na ɔte ne ho ase sɛ wayɛ saa adeɛ no a, ɔdi ho fɔ.
4 'Or when a person sweareth, speaking wrongfully with the lips to do evil, or to do good, even anything which man speaketh wrongfully with an oath, and it hath been hid from him; — when he hath known then he hath been guilty of one of these;
Sɛ obi ka ntam a, sɛ ntam no yɛ anaa ɛyɛ ntanhunu no, sɛ ɔhunu sɛ ɛyɛ ntanhunu a, ɔdi ho fɔ.
5 'And it hath been when he is guilty of one of these, that he hath confessed concerning that which he hath sinned,
Sɛ obi di yeinom bi ho fɔ a, ɛsɛ sɛ ɔka ne bɔne no mu nokorɛ
6 and hath brought in his guilt-offering to Jehovah for his sin which he hath sinned, a female out of the flock, a lamb, or a kid of the goats, for a sin-offering, and the priest hath made atonement for him, because of his sin.
na ɔde odwanbereɛ anaa abirekyibereɛ bɔ afɔdeɛ ma Awurade. Ɔsɔfoɔ na ɔbɛbɔ onipa ko no bɔne no ho afɔdeɛ ama no. Ɔsɔfoɔ no nam saa afɔrebɔ yi so bɛpata ama no.
7 'And if his hand reach not to the sufficiency of a lamb, then he hath brought in his guilt-offering — he who hath sinned — two turtle-doves or two young pigeons to Jehovah, one for a sin-offering, and one for a burnt-offering;
“‘Sɛ ɔyɛ ohiani a ɔrennya odwammaa mfa mma Awurade a, ɔmfa nturukuku mmienu anaa mmorɔnoma mma mmienu mmra sɛ ne bɔne ho afɔrebɔdeɛ. Nnomaa no mu baako bɛyɛ ne bɔne no afɔrebɔdeɛ na ɔbaako ayɛ ne hyeɛ afɔrebɔdeɛ.
8 and he hath brought them in unto the priest, and hath brought near that which [is] for a sin-offering first, and hath wrung off its head from its neck, and doth not separate [it],
Ɔde bɛma ɔsɔfoɔ no na ɔde anomaa a ɔdi ɛkan no abɔ bɔne afɔdeɛ no. Ɔbɛkyinsa aboa no kɔn nanso ɔrente ne ti mfiri so,
9 and he hath sprinkled of the blood of the sin-offering on the side of the altar, and that which is left of the blood is wrung out at the foundation of the altar; it [is] a sin-offering.
na wapete ne mogya no bi agu afɔrebukyia no ho. Mogya no nkaeɛ no, ɔbɛhwie agu afɔrebukyia no ase. Yei ne afɔrebɔ kwan a ɛpepa bɔne.
10 'And the second he maketh a burnt-offering, according to the ordinance, and the priest hath made atonement for him, because of his sin which he hath sinned, and it hath been forgiven him.
Ɔde anomaa a ɔtɔ so mmienu no bɛbɔ ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ sɛdeɛ ɔbɔɔ afɔdeɛ a ɛdi ɛkan no ara pɛ. Ɔsɔfoɔ no nam saa afɔrebɔ yi so bɛpata ama deɛ wayɛ bɔne no, na ɛnam so ma wɔde ne bɔne akyɛ no.
11 'And if his hand reach not to two turtle-doves, or to two young pigeons, then he hath brought in his offering — he who hath sinned — a tenth of an ephah of flour for a sin-offering; he putteth no oil on it, nor doth he put on it frankincense, for it [is] a sin-offering,
“‘Sɛ ɔyɛ ohiani buruburo a ɔrentumi mfa nturukuku anaa mmorɔnoma mma mmɛbɔ ne bɔne ho afɔdeɛ a, ɔde asikyiresiam papa lita mmienu ne fa bɛba sɛ ne bɔne ho afɔrebɔdeɛ. Ɛnsɛ sɛ ɔde ɔsra ngo fra. Ɛnsɛ sɛ ɔde aduhwam nso gu so, ɛfiri sɛ, ɛyɛ bɔne afɔdeɛ.
12 and he hath brought it in unto the priest, and the priest hath taken a handful from it — the fulness of his hand — its memorial — and hath made perfume on the altar, according to the fire-offerings of Jehovah; it [is] a sin-offering.
Ɔde bɛma ɔsɔfoɔ no. Na ɔsɔfoɔ no asa ne nsabuo ma de asi ne nyinaa anan na wahye no afɔrebukyia no so ama Awurade sɛ afɔrebɔdeɛ biara. Yei bɛyɛ ne bɔne ho afɔrebɔ.
13 'And the priest hath made atonement for him, for his sin which he hath sinned against one of these, and it hath been forgiven him, and [the remnant] hath been to the priest, like the present.'
Sɛ ɛba saa a, ɔsɔfoɔ no nam saa afɔrebɔ yi so bɛpata ama onipa no na wɔde ne bɔne no bɛkyɛ no. Asikyiresiam a aka no, wɔde bɛma ɔsɔfoɔ no te sɛ afudeɛ afɔrebɔdeɛ no ara pɛ.’”
14 And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,
Awurade hyɛɛ mmara maa Mose sɛ,
15 'When a person committeth a trespass, and hath sinned through ignorance against the holy things of Jehovah, then he hath brought in his guilt-offering to Jehovah, a ram, a perfect one, out of the flock, at thy valuation [in] silver — shekels by the shekel of the sanctuary — for a guilt-offering.
“Sɛ obi anhyɛ da na ɔgu ade kronkron ho fi a, ɔde odwennini a ne ho nni dɛm a ɔfata sɛ mpatadeɛ wɔ ne fɔ no ho bɛba abɛbɔ Awurade afɔdeɛ.
16 'And that which he hath sinned against the holy thing he repayeth, and its fifth is adding to it, and hath given it to the priest, and the priest maketh atonement for him with the ram of the guilt-offering, and it hath been forgiven him.
Ade kronkron a onipa no guu ho fi no nso, ɔde foforɔ bɛsi anan na watua dekodeɛ no boɔ ɔha mu nkyɛmu aduonu aka ho sɛ asotwe. Ɔde ne nyinaa bɛma ɔsɔfoɔ na ɔde odwennini no abɔ bɔne afɔdeɛ no na wɔde ne bɔne akyɛ no.
17 'And when any person sinneth, and hath done [something against] one of all the commands of Jehovah [regarding things] which are not to be done, and hath not known, and he hath been guilty, and hath borne his iniquity,
“Sɛ obi anhyɛ da na ɔbu Awurade mmara no bi so a, ɔdi fɔ enti ɛsɛ sɛ ɔtua afɔbudeɛ a Mose bɛhyɛ no.
18 'Then he hath brought in a ram, a perfect one, out of the flock, at thy valuation, for a guilt-offering, unto the priest; and the priest hath made atonement for him, for his ignorance in which he hath erred and he hath not known, and it hath been forgiven him;
Ɛsɛ sɛ ɔde odwennini anaa ɔpapo a ɔnni dɛm brɛ ɔsɔfoɔ sɛ ne bɔne no ho afɔrebɔdeɛ. Na ɔsɔfoɔ no de ayɛ mpatadeɛ ama no sɛdeɛ bɔne biara a ɔyɛeɛ a wanhyɛ da no, na wɔde ne bɔne bɛkyɛ no.
19 it [is] a guilt-offering; he hath been certainly guilty before Jehovah.'
Ɛsɛ sɛ wɔbɔ saa afɔdeɛ no sɛ afɔdie afɔrebɔ, ɛfiri sɛ, ɔdi fɔ pefee wɔ Awurade anim.”
