< Numbers 19 >
1 And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, and unto Aaron, saying,
Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose ne Aaron sɛ,
2 'This [is] a statute of the law which Jehovah hath commanded, saying, Speak unto the sons of Israel, and they bring unto thee a red cow, a perfect one, in which there is no blemish, on which no yoke hath gone up;
“Me som ho mmara foforɔ nie: Ka kyerɛ Israelfoɔ sɛ wɔmfa nantwie ba bereɛ kɔkɔɔ a ɔnnii dɛm na ɔntwee nneɛma da mmrɛ me.
3 and ye have given it unto Eleazar the priest, and he hath brought it out unto the outside of the camp, and hath slaughtered it before him.
Momfa no mma ɔsɔfoɔ Eleasa na ɔde no bɛkɔ atenaeɛ no akyi baabi na obi akum no ɛberɛ a ɔno ara nso rehwɛ.
4 'And Eleazar the priest hath taken of its blood with his finger, and hath sprinkled over-against the front of the tent of meeting of her blood seven times;
Eleasa de ne nsateaa bɛbɔ mogya no mu na ɔde apete Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no anim mprɛnson.
5 and [one] hath burnt the cow before his eyes; her skin, and her flesh, and her blood, besides her dung, he doth burn;
Afei, ɔbɛhwɛ ama obi ahye nantwie ba no. Ɔbɛhye ne ho nwoma, ne nam, ne mogya ne nʼagyanan nyinaa.
6 and the priest hath taken cedar wood, and hyssop, and scarlet, and hath cast unto the midst of the burning of the cow;
Na ɛgu so rehye no, Eleasa bɛfa odum dua ne hisope mman ne asaawa kɔkɔɔ na wato agu nneɛma a wɔrehye no mu.
7 and the priest hath washed his garments, and hath bathed his flesh with water, and afterwards doth come in unto the camp, and the priest is unclean till the evening;
Yei akyi, ɛsɛ sɛ ɔsi ne ntadeɛ na ɔdware na afei ɔkɔ atenaeɛ hɔ a wɔfa no sɛ ne ho agu fi kɔsi anwummerɛ.
8 and he who is burning it doth wash his garments with water, and hath bathed his flesh with water, and is unclean till the evening.
Onipa a ɔhyee aboa no nso, ɛsɛ sɛ ɔsi ne ntadeɛ, na ɔdware, ɛfiri sɛ, ɔno nso ho agu fi kɔsi anwummerɛ.
9 'And a clean man hath gathered the ashes of the cow, and hath placed at the outside of the camp, in a clean place, and it hath become to the company of the sons of Israel a charge for waters of separation — it [is] a [cleansing];
“Afei, obi a ne ho nguu fi no bɛsesa aboa a wɔhyee no no nsõ de akɔ atenaeɛ no akyi baabi a ɛhɔ yɛ kronkron na wakɔkora no wɔ hɔ. Israelfoɔ no de bɛgu wɔn nsuo a wɔde dwira wɔn ho de pam wɔn bɔne no mu.
10 and he who is gathering the ashes of the heifer hath washed his garments, and is unclean till the evening; and it hath been to the sons of Israel, and to the sojourner who is sojourning in their midst, for a statute age-during.
Onipa a ɔbɛboaboa nantwie ba no nsõ no ano no nso, ɛsɛ sɛ ɔsi ne ntadeɛ, ɛfiri sɛ, ne ho gu fi kɔsi anwummerɛ; yei yɛ mmara a ɛwɔ hɔ daa a ɛho wɔ mfasoɔ ma Israelfoɔ no ne ahɔhoɔ a wɔte wɔn mu no nyinaa.
11 'He who is coming against the dead body of any man — is unclean seven days;
“Obiara a ɔbɛsɔ efunu mu no ho bɛgu fi nnanson.
12 he doth cleanse himself for it on the third day, and on the seventh day he is clean; and if he cleanse not himself on the third day, then on the seventh day he is not clean.
Na ne nnansa ne ne nnanson so no, ɔde nsuo a wɔde dwira wɔn ho no adwira ne ho ama ne ho ate. Sɛ ne nnansa so wanyɛ yei a, ne nnanson akyi nyinaa na ne ho agu fi.
13 Any one who is coming against the dead, against the body of man who dieth, and cleanseth not himself — the tabernacle of Jehovah he hath defiled, and that person hath been cut off from Israel, for water of separation is not sprinkled upon him; he is unclean; his uncleanness [is] still upon him.
Wɔn a wɔsɔ efunu mu na wɔnnwira wɔn ho sɛdeɛ makyerɛ yi no, wɔgu Awurade Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan ho fi, na ɛsɛ sɛ wɔyi saa nnipa no firi Israelfoɔ mu. Esiane sɛ wɔamfa ahodwira nsuo no bi ampete wɔn ho no enti, wɔn ho agu fi ara.
14 'This [is] the law, when a man dieth in a tent: every one who is coming in unto the tent, and all that [is] in the tent, is unclean seven days;
“Sɛ obi wu wɔ ntomadan mu a, ɛho mmara nie: Obiara a ɔbɛwura saa ntomadan no mu ne wɔn a wɔwɔ mu dada ansa na onipa no rewuo no nyinaa ho gu fi nnanson.
15 and every open vessel which hath no covering of thread upon it is unclean.
Adeɛ biara a wɔde biribi gu mu a ɛnni mmuasoɔ no nso ho gu fi.
16 'And every one who cometh, on the face of the field, against the pierced of a sword, or against the dead, or against a bone of man, or against a grave, is unclean seven days;
“Sɛ obi a ɔwɔ abɔntene de ne nsa ka obi a ɔtɔɔ wɔ akofena ano funu anaa sɛ obi a ɔnyɛ ɔtɔfoɔ funu, anaasɛ obi de ne nsa ka onipa dompe anaa damena a, ne ho bɛgu fi nnanson.
17 and they have taken for the unclean person of the ashes of the burning of the [cleansing], and he hath put upon it running water unto a vessel;
“Ansa na ne ho bɛte bio no, gye sɛ wɔde nantwie ba kɔkɔɔ no nsõ a wɔde bɔ bɔne ho afɔdeɛ no fra nsuo a wɔde agu asuhina mu.
18 and a clean person hath taken hyssop, and hath dipped [it] in water, and hath sprinkled on the tent, and on all the vessels, and on the persons who have been there, and on him who is coming against a bone, or against one pierced, or against the dead, or against a grave.
Na obi a ne ho te afa hisope mman na ɔde abɔ nsuo no mu de apete ntomadan no so ne nkuku ne nkaka a ɛwɔ ntomadan no mu no nso so ne obiara a na ɔwɔ ntomadan no mu a ne ho agu fi no so. Saa ara nso na obi a ɔsɔɔ dompe mu anaa ɔsɔɔ obi a wɔakum no anaa deɛ ɔde ne ho aka damena no nso, wɔdwira ne ho.
19 'And the clean hath sprinkled [it] on the unclean on the third day, and on the seventh day, and hath cleansed him on the seventh day, and he hath washed his garments, and hath bathed with water, and hath been clean in the evening.
Wɔyɛ yei ne nnansa ne ne nnanson so. Na deɛ ne ho agu fi no nso, ɛsɛ sɛ ɔsi ne ntadeɛ na ɔdware, na ɛduru anwummerɛ a, afei ne ho ate.
20 'And the man who is unclean, and doth not cleanse himself, even that person hath been cut off from the midst of the assembly; for the sanctuary of Jehovah he hath defiled; water of separation is not sprinkled upon him; he [is] unclean.
Nanso, obiara a ne ho agu fi na wannwira ne ho no, wɔbɛtwa no asuo, ɛfiri sɛ, wɔagu Awurade kronkronbea hɔ ho fi. Ɛfiri sɛ wɔmfaa nsuo a ɛsɛ sɛ wɔde pete ne so no mpetee ne so no enti, ne ho agu fi.
21 'And it hath been to them for a statute age-during, that he who is sprinkling the water of separation doth wash his garments, and he who is coming against the water of separation is unclean till the evening,
Yei yɛ mmara a ɛwɔ hɔ afebɔɔ. “Onipa a ɔbɛtu nsuo no apete no nso, ɛsɛ sɛ akyire no, ɔsi ne ntadeɛ, na obiara a ɔde ne nsa bɛka nsuo no nso ho gu fi kɔsi anwummerɛ.
22 and all against which the unclean person cometh is unclean, and the person who is coming against [it] is unclean till the evening.'
Na biribiara a obi a ne ho agu fi no bɛsɔ mu no nso ho gu fi kɔsi anwummerɛ.”
