3 Mose 12

1 Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose se, “Ka kyerɛ Israelfo no se,

And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

2 ‘Sɛ ɔbea bi wo ɔbabarima a, ne ho ntew nnanson, te sɛ nea ɔkɔ afikyiri a ne ho ntew no ara.

Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, If a woman have conceived seed, and born a man child: then she shall be unclean seven days; according to the days of the separation for her infirmity shall she be unclean.

3 Ne nnaawɔtwe so no, ɛsɛ sɛ wotwa abarimaa no twetia.

And in the eighth day the flesh of his foreskin shall be circumcised.

4 Na nnafua aduasa abiɛsa a ɛda nʼanim a ɔde retew ne ho no, ɛnsɛ sɛ oso biribiara a ɛyɛ kronkron mu na onni ho kwan sɛ ɔkɔ hyiadan mu nso.

And she shall then continue in the blood of her purifying three and thirty days; she shall touch no hallowed thing, nor come into the sanctuary, until the days of her purifying be fulfilled.

5 Sɛ ɔbea bi wo ɔbabea a, ne ho ntew nnaawɔtwe abien, te sɛ nea ɔkɔ afikyiri a ne ho ntew no ara. Afei ɛsɛ sɛ ɔtwɛn nnafua aduosia asia ma ne ho twa.

But if she bear a maid child, then she shall be unclean two weeks, as in her separation: and she shall continue in the blood of her purifying threescore and six days.

6 “‘Sɛ saa ahotew nna yi twa mu a, ɛsɛ sɛ ɔde oguamma a wadi afe bɛbɔ ɔhyew afɔre na ɔde aborɔnoma anaa aturukuku ba bɛbɔ bɔne ho afɔre. Ɛsɛ sɛ ɔde wɔn kɔ Ahyiae Ntamadan no ano kɔma ɔsɔfo no.

And when the days of her purifying are fulfilled, for a son, or for a daughter, she shall bring a lamb of the first year for a burnt offering, and a young pigeon, or a turtledove, for a sin offering, unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, unto the priest:

7 Na ɔsɔfo no de wɔn bɛma Awurade de ayɛ mpata ama ɛna no; ɛba saa a, ne ho tew bio wɔ nʼawo mu mogyagugu ho. “‘Eyinom ne awo akyi ahyɛde.

Who shall offer it before the LORD, and make an atonement for her; and she shall be cleansed from the issue of her blood. This [is] the law for her that hath born a male or a female.

8 Na sɛ ɔyɛ ohiani a ɔrennya oguamma no a, ɛno de, ɛsɛ sɛ ɔde mmorɔnoma abien anaa nturukuku mma abien ba. Wɔde ɔbaako bɛbɔ ɔhyew afɔre na wɔde ɔbaako abɔ bɔne ho afɔre. Ɔsɔfo no bɛfa saa kwan yi so ayɛ mpata ama no, sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a ne ho bɛtew bio.’”

And if she be not able to bring a lamb, then she shall bring two turtles, or two young pigeons; the one for the burnt offering, and the other for a sin offering: and the priest shall make an atonement for her, and she shall be clean.
