< ULevi 17 >

1 INkosi yasikhuluma kuMozisi isithi:
Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose se,
2 Tshono kuAroni lakumadodana akhe, lebantwaneni bonke bakoIsrayeli, uthi kubo: Leli yilizwi iNkosi elaye ngalo isithi:
“Hyɛ saa mmara a efi Awurade nkyɛn yi ma Aaron ne ne mma ne Israelfo no nyinaa.
3 Loba ngubani wendlu kaIsrayeli ohlaba inkabi loba imvu loba imbuzi enkambeni, kumbe ekuhlabela ngaphandle kwenkamba,
Israelni biara a ɔde nantwi, oguamma anaa abirekyi bɛbɔ afɔre wɔ nsraban mu anaa akyi no,
4 engakulethanga emnyango wethente lenhlangano ukunikela umnikelo eNkosini phambi kwethabhanekele leNkosi, igazi lizabalelwa lowomuntu, uchithile igazi; ngakho lowomuntu uzaqunywa asuke ebantwini bakibo.
a anka ɛsɛ sɛ ɔde no ba Ahyiae Ntamadan no ano hɔ de no ma Awurade sɛ afɔrebɔde wɔ Awurade Ahyiae Ntamadan no ano no, wɔbɛfa saa onipa no sɛ wahwie mogya agu enti ɛsɛ sɛ wotwa no asu fi ne manfo mu.
5 Ukuze, lapho abantwana bakoIsrayeli beletha imihlatshelo yabo, abayihlabela endle, bayilethe eNkosini emnyango wethente lenhlangano, kumpristi, bayihlabe ibe yimihlatshelo yeminikelo yokuthula eNkosini.
Saa mmara yi bɛbra Israelfo no a ɛremma wɔmfa mmoa mmɔ afɔre wɔ wuram baabiara kwa. Ɛbɛhyɛ wɔn ama wɔde afɔrebɔde no abrɛ ɔsɔfo no wɔ Ahyiae Ntamadan no kwan ano sɛnea ɔsɔfo no betumi de ama Awurade sɛ asomdwoe afɔrebɔde.
6 Njalo umpristi uzafafaza igazi phezu kwelathi leNkosi emnyango wethente lenhlangano, atshise amahwahwa, abe luqhatshi olumnandi eNkosini.
Sɛ wɔfa saa kwan no so a, ɔsɔfo no betumi apete mogya agu Awurade afɔremuka no so wɔ Ahyiae Ntamadan no kwan ano na wɔahyew srade no sɛ ohuam ama Awurade ani asɔ.
7 Njalo kabasayikuhlabela amadimoni imihlatshelo yabo, ababephinga ngokuwalandela. Lokhu kuzakuba yisimiso esilaphakade kubo ezizukulwaneni zabo.
Na ama ɔmanfo agyae afɔre a wɔbɔ ma ahonhommɔne wɔ wuram no. Eyi bɛyɛ mmara a ɛbɛtena hɔ daa ama mo fi awo ntoatoaso so akosi awo ntoatoaso so.
8 Tshono-ke kubo uthi: Ngulowo lalowo wendlu kaIsrayeli, lakowemzini ohlala njengowezizwe phakathi kwabo, onikela umnikelo wokutshiswa loba umhlatshelo,
“Miti mu sɛ, ‘Hyɛ saa mmara yi nso ma wɔn. Sɛ Israelni anaa ɔhɔho a ɔne mo te no de ɔhyew afɔrebɔde no anaa afɔrebɔ no ba,
9 angawulethi emnyango wethente lenhlangano ukuze awenzele iNkosi, lowomuntu uzaqunywa asuke ebantwini bakibo.
na sɛ wamfa amma Ahyiae Ntamadan no kwan ano amfa amma Awurade a, ɛsɛ sɛ wotwa no asu fi ɔmanfo no mu.
10 Njalo ngulowo lalowo wendlu kaIsrayeli, lakowemzini ohlala njengowezizwe phakathi kwabo, odla loba yiliphi igazi, ngizamisa ubuso bami bumelane lomphefumulo odla igazi, ngiwuqume usuke phakathi kwabantu bawo.
“‘Na mɛdan mʼani atia obiara a obedi mogya wɔ ɔkwan biara so no; ɛmfa ho sɛ ɔyɛ Israelni anaa ɔhɔho a ɔte mo mu.
11 Ngoba impilo yenyama isegazini; mina-ke ngilinike lona phezu kwelathi ukwenzela imiphefumulo yenu inhlawulo yokuthula; ngoba kuligazi elenzela umphefumulo inhlawulo yokuthula.
Efisɛ ɔhonam no nkwa wɔ mogya no mu, na mama mo mogya sɛ momfa mpete afɔremuka no so sɛ mpatade mma mo akra; nkwa a ɛwɔ mogya mu nti na wɔde yɛ mpatade ma onipa kra.
12 Ngakho ngathi ebantwaneni bakoIsrayeli: Kakungabi lamphefumulo kini odla igazi; lowemzini ohlala njengowezizwe phakathi kwenu kangadli igazi.
Ɛno nti, mereka akyerɛ Israelfo se, “Wɔn anaa ahɔho a wɔte wɔn mu no nni mogya.”
13 Njalo ngulowo lalowo ebantwaneni bakoIsrayeli, lakowemzini ohlala njengowezizwe phakathi kwabo, ozingela inyama yenyamazana kumbe inyoni edliwayo, uzathulula igazi layo, aligqibele ngenhlabathi.
“‘Israelni anaa ɔhɔho biara a ɔte wɔn mu a ɔbɛkɔ ahayɛ na obekum aboa anaa anomaa biara a wɔwe ne nam no, ɔnsɔn ne mogya na ɔmfa mfutuma nkata so,
14 Ngoba kuyimpilo yenyama yonke; igazi layo lisempilweni yayo; yikho ngathi ebantwaneni bakoIsrayeli: Lingadli igazi loba ngelayiphi inyama, ngoba impilo yayo yonke inyama kuligazi layo; loba ngubani olidlayo uzaqunywa.
efisɛ aboa biara nkwa ne ne mogya. Ɛno nti na meka kyerɛɛ Israelfo se wonnni mogya no, efisɛ nnomaa anaa aboa biara nkwa yɛ ne mogya. Enti obiara a odi mogya no, ɛsɛ sɛ wotwa no asu.
15 Futhi wonke umphefumulo odla ingcuba kumbe inyamazana edatshuliweyo phakathi kwabokuzalwa elizweni kumbe phakathi kwabemzini, uzahlamba izembatho zakhe, ageze ngamanzi, abe ngongcolileyo kuze kuhlwe; emva kwalokho uzahlambuluka.
“‘Obiara a ɔwe aboafunu a ɔno ara awu anaasɛ akekaboa bi na okum no no, ɛsɛ sɛ ɔhoro ne ntama na oguare, efisɛ ne ho ntew kosi anwummere; ɛno akyi no, ɛsɛ sɛ wɔpae mu ka se ne ho atew.
16 Kodwa uba engaziwatshi, engagezi umzimba wakhe, uzathwala ububi bakhe.
Na sɛ wanhoro ne ntama anguare a, wɔne no bedi no sɛnea mmara no se.’”
