Numbers 6

1 And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,

Awurade sane ka kyerɛɛ Mose sɛ

2 'Speak unto the sons of Israel, and thou hast said unto them, When a man or woman doeth singularly, by vowing a vow of a Nazarite, to be separate to Jehovah;

ɔnka nkyerɛ Israelfoɔ no sɛ, “Sɛ ɔbarima anaa ɔbaa kɔyɛ Nasareni de te ne ho wɔ Awurade anim a,

3 from wine and strong drink he doth keep separate; vinegar of wine, and vinegar of strong drink he doth not drink, and any juice of grapes he doth not drink, and grapes moist or dry he doth not eat;

ɛno akyi, saa ɛberɛ a ɔwɔ ahoteɛ no mu no, ɔnni ho kwan sɛ ɔnom nsã a ɛyɛ den anaa bobesa anaa nsã a emu ka.

4 all days of his separation, of anything which is made of the wine-vine, from kernels even unto husk, he doth not eat.

Saa ɛberɛ no mu no, ɔnni ho kwan sɛ ɔdi biribiara a ɛfiri bobe mu, sɛ ɛyɛ nʼaba anaa ne hono.

5 'All days of the vow of his separation a razor doth not pass over his head; till the fulness of the days which he doth separate to Jehovah he is holy; grown up hath the upper part of the hair of his head.

“Saa ɛberɛ no mu no, ɛnsɛ sɛ ɔyi ne tirinwi, ɛfiri sɛ, ɔyɛ kronkron na wɔate ne ho ama Awurade; ɛno enti na ɛsɛ sɛ ɔma ne tirinwi fu no.

6 'All days of his keeping separate to Jehovah, near a dead person he doth not go;

“Awurade bɔhyɛ no nna no mu no, ɔnni ho kwan sɛ ɔkɔ owufoɔ ho.

7 for his father, or for his mother, for his brother, or for his sister — he is not unclean for them at their death, for the separation of his God [is] on his head;

Sɛ owufoɔ no yɛ nʼagya, ne maame, ne nuabarima anaa ne nuabaa koraa a, ɔnnkɔ ne ho, ɛfiri sɛ, ne bɔ a ɔhyɛ de tee ne ho no, ɔda so hyɛ aseɛ,

8 all days of his separation he [is] holy to Jehovah.

na saa ɛberɛ no mu nyinaa, wɔate ne ho ama Awurade.

9 'And when the dead dieth beside him in an instant, suddenly, and he hath defiled the head of his separation, then he hath shaved his head in the day of his cleansing; on the seventh day he doth shave it,

“Sɛ obi wu tɔ ne nkyɛn de gu ne ho fi a, nnanson akyi, ɛsɛ sɛ ɔyi ne tirinwi a ɛho agu fi no. Afei, wɔbɛdwira ne ho afiri efi a owufoɔ no de aka no no.

10 and on the eighth day he bringeth in two turtle-doves or two young pigeons unto the priest, unto the opening of the tent of meeting,

Nʼadekyeeɛ a ɛyɛ ɛda a ɛtɔ so nwɔtwe no, ɛsɛ sɛ ɔde nturukuku mmienu anaa mmorɔnoma mma mmienu brɛ ɔsɔfoɔ wɔ Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no kwan ano.

11 and the priest hath prepared one for a sin-offering, and one for a burnt-offering, and hath made atonement for him, because of that which he hath sinned by the body, and he hath hallowed his head on that day;

Ɔsɔfoɔ no de nnomaa no mu baako bɛbɔ bɔne ho afɔdeɛ na ɔde ɔbaako abɔ ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ, na ayɛ mpatadeɛ ama deɛ ne ho agu fi no. Na ɛda no ara, ɛsɛ sɛ ɔti ne bɔhyɛ mu na ɔsane ma ne tirinwi no fu bio.

12 and he hath separated to Jehovah the days of his separation, and he hath brought in a lamb, a son of a year, for a guilt-offering, and the former days are fallen, for his separation hath been defiled.

Nna dodoɔ a ɔdii ne bɔhyɛ a ɛdi ɛkan no so no nyinaa ahye agu. Ɔbɛhyɛ Awurade bɔ foforɔ de afiri aseɛ, na ɔde odwennini ba a wadi afe bɛba abɛbɔ ɛfɔdie ho afɔdeɛ.

13 'And this [is] the law of the Nazarite; in the day of the fulness of the days of his separation doth [one] bring him in unto the opening of the tent of meeting,

“Ɛda a ne bɔhyɛ a ɛte ɔno ne Awurade ntam no wie duru no, ɛsɛ sɛ ɔkɔ Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no ano

14 and he hath brought near his offering to Jehovah, one he-lamb, a son of a year, a perfect one, for a burnt-offering, and one she-lamb, a daughter of a year, a perfect one, for a sin-offering, and one ram, a perfect one, for peace-offerings,

kɔbɔ ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ ma Awurade. Ɔde odwan ba a wadi afe a ɔnnii dɛm na ɛbɛbɔ saa afɔdeɛ no. Ɛsɛ sɛ ɔde odwanbereɛ a wadi afe a ɔnnii dɛm bɔ bɔne ho afɔdeɛ na ɔde odwennini a ɔnnii dɛm bɔ asomdwoeɛ afɔdeɛ.

15 and a basket of unleavened things of flour, cakes mixed with oil, and thin cakes of unleavened things anointed with oil, and their present, and their libations.

Nneɛma a ɔde bɛka ho no ne burodo a mmɔreka mfra mu, asikyiresiam taterɛ a wɔde ngo afra; burodo ntrawa bi a mmɔreka mfra mu a wɔde ngo ayɛ so a aduane ne nsã afɔrebɔdeɛ ka ho.

16 'And the priest hath brought [them] near before Jehovah, and hath made his sin-offering and his burnt-offering;

“Ɔsɔfoɔ no de saa afɔrebɔdeɛ yi nyinaa bɛba Awurade anim. Deɛ ɔde bɛdi ɛkan aba no yɛ bɔne ho afɔdeɛ ne ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ,

17 and the ram he maketh a sacrifice of peace-offerings to Jehovah, besides the basket of unleavened things; and the priest hath made its present and its libation.

afei, odwennini a wɔde no bɛbɔ asomdwoeɛ afɔdeɛ a burodo kɛntɛnma a mmɔreka nni mu nso ka ho. Na deɛ ɛtwa toɔ a ɔde bɛba no ne aduane ne nsã afɔdeɛ a ɔde bɛma Awurade.

18 'And the Nazarite hath shaved (at the opening of the tent of meeting) the head of his separation, and hath taken the hair of the head of his separation, and hath put [it] on the fire which [is] under the sacrifice of the peace-offerings.

“Afei, ɔhotuafo no bɛyi ne tirinwi a afu kuhaa no; ɛno ne nsɛnkyerɛnnedeɛ a ɛkyerɛ sɛ, ɔnhyɛ bɔhyɛ no ase bio. Wɔbɛyɛ yei wɔ Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no ano, na wɔde nwi no agu asomdwoeɛ afɔdeɛ a wɔrebɔ no wɔ ogya mu no ahye no.

19 'And the priest hath taken the boiled shoulder from the ram, and one unleavened cake out of the basket, and one thin unleavened cake, and hath put on the palms of the Nazarite after his shaving his separation;

“Wɔayi ɔbarima no tirinwi no awie no, ɔsɔfoɔ no de odwennini no basa a wɔatoto, taterɛ a mmɔreka nni mu no baako ne burodo ntrawa a mmɔreka nni mu bɛhyɛ ɔbarima no nsam.

20 and the priest hath waved them, a wave-offering before Jehovah; it [is] holy to the priest, besides the breast of the wave-offering, and besides the leg of the heave-offering; and afterwards doth the Nazarite drink wine.

Ɔsɔfoɔ no bɛhim no akɔ nʼanim aba nʼakyi wɔ Awurade anim a ɛkyerɛ ma a ɔde rema Awurade. Ne nyinaa yɛ kyɛfa a ɛho te ma ɔsɔfoɔ no. Wɔbɛyɛ no sɛdeɛ wɔyɛ odwennini no basa mu mfempadeɛ a wɔhim no wɔ Awurade anim no. Yei akyi no, ɔhotuafoɔ no tumi nom bobesa a ɛkyerɛ sɛ, wɔayi no afiri ne bɔhyɛ no mu.

21 'This [is] the law of the Nazarite, who voweth his offering to Jehovah for his separation, apart from that which his hand attaineth; according to his vow which he voweth so he doth by the law of his separation.'

“Yeinom ne mmara a ɛda hɔ ma Nasareni a wahyɛ nʼahofama ho bɔ awie, na ɔde afɔrebɔ ahodoɔ brɛ Awurade. Saa afɔrebɔ yi akyi no, ɔtumi de afɔrebɔdeɛ biara a ɔrebɛyɛ Nasareni no, ɔhyɛɛ ho bɔ sɛ ɔde bɛba no ba.”

22 And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,

Afei, Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose sɛ,

23 'Speak unto Aaron, and unto his sons, saying, Thus ye do bless the sons of Israel, saying to them,

“Ka kyerɛ Aaron ne ne mmammarima no sɛ ɛsɛ sɛ wɔhyira Israelfoɔ yi sononko sɛ:

24 'Jehovah bless thee and keep thee;

“‘Awurade nhyira mo na ɔnhwɛ mo so.

25 'Jehovah cause His face to shine upon thee, and favour thee;

Awurade nte nʼanim nkyerɛ mo na ɔnnom mo.

26 'Jehovah lift up His countenance upon thee, and appoint for thee — peace.

Awurade mma nʼani so nhwɛ mo na ɔmma mo asomdwoeɛ.’

27 'And they have put My name upon the sons of Israel, and I — I do bless them.'

“Saa na ɛsɛ sɛ Aaron ne ne mmammarima hyira Israelfoɔ, na mʼankasa nso mɛhyira wɔn.”
