3 Mose 14
1 Onyankopɔn ka kyerɛɛ Mose se,
Adonai spoke to Moses [Drawn out], saying,
2 “Da a wobedwira ɔkwatani ho no, ɛho mmara ni: Wɔde no bɛkɔ akɔma ɔsɔfo,
“This shall be the Torah ·Teaching· of the leper in the day of his cleansing. He shall be brought to the priest,
3 na ɔsɔfo no ahwɛ no wɔ nsraban no akyi. Na sɛ ɔsɔfo no hu sɛ kwata no agyae a,
and the priest shall go out of the camp. The priest shall examine him, and behold, if the plague of tzara'at is healed in the leper,
4 obebisa nnomaa abien bi a wɔwe, na afei wɔde sida dua, koogyan hama ne adwerɛ mman a wɔde bɛyɛ ahodwira ahyɛde ama ɔkwatani no abrɛ no.
then the priest shall enjoin them to take for him who is to be cleansed two living clean birds, and cedar wood, and scarlet, and hyssop.
5 Ɔsɔfo no bɛka ama wɔakum nnomaa no mu baako wɔ asanka a nsu wɔ mu so.
The priest shall enjoin them to kill one of the birds in an earthen vessel over running water.
6 Na anomaa a wonnya nkum no no nso, wɔde ɔno ne sida dua no ne koogyan hama no ne adwerɛ mman no bɛhyɛ anomaa a wokum no no mogya no mu.
As for the living bird, he shall take it, and the cedar wood, and the scarlet, and the hyssop, and shall dip them and the living bird in the blood of the bird that was killed over the running water.
7 Na ɔsɔfo no apete mogya no agu ɔkwatani a ne ho afi no so mpɛn ason, na wapae mu aka se ne ho atew na wagyaa anomaa a wonkum no no.
He shall sprinkle on him who is to be cleansed from the tzara'at seven times, and shall pronounce him clean, and shall let the living bird go into the open field.
8 “Na ɔyarefo a ne ho atɔ no no bɛhoro ne ntama nyinaa. Obeyi ne ho nwi nyinaa nso. Obeguare na wasan abɛtena faako a kan no na ɔte hɔ no bio; nanso ɛsɛ sɛ ɔtena ne ntamadan akyi nnanson.
“He who is to be cleansed shall wash his clothes, and shave off all his hair, and bathe himself in water; and he shall be clean. After that he shall come into the camp, but shall dwell outside his tent seven days.
9 Nnanson no so no, obeyi ne ho nwi nyinaa bio, obeyi nʼabogyesɛ ayi nʼanintɔn nwi na wayi ne ho nwi a aka nyinaa, na waguare, na afei wɔapae mu aka sɛ ne ho atew.
It shall be on the seventh day, that he shall shave all his hair off his head and his beard and his eyebrows, even all his hair he shall shave off. He shall wash his clothes, and he shall bathe his body in water, then he shall be clean.
10 “Da a edi so a ɛyɛ nnaawɔtwe so no, ɔbɛfa adwennini abien a wɔn ho nni dɛm ne oguamma bere baako a ɔno nso ho nni dɛm, asikresiam muhumuhu lita asia ne fa a wɔde ngo afra ne ngo a wɔmfa mfraa hwee lita fa.
“On the eighth day he shall take two male lambs without defect, and one ewe lamb a year old without defect, and three tenths of an ephah [three omers; 6.9 q; 6.6 L] of fine flour for a meal offering, mingled with oil, and one log [0.65 qt; 0.31 L] of oil.
11 Afei ɔsɔfo a ɔbɛhwehwɛ ɔyarefo no ho ahwɛ sɛ ne ho atɔ no no de onipa no ne nʼafɔrebɔde bɛba Awurade anim wɔ Ahyiae Ntamadan no ano.
The priest who cleanses him shall set the man who is to be cleansed, and those things, before Adonai, at the door of the Tent of Meeting.
12 “Ɔsɔfo no bɛfa nguantenmma no baako ne ngotoa baako no na ɔde ama Awurade sɛ afɔdi afɔrebɔ a wohim no wɔ afɔremuka no anim.
“The priest shall take one of the male lambs, and offer him for a fault incurring guilt offering, with the log [0.65 qt; 0.31 L] of oil, and wave them for a wave offering before Adonai.
13 Afei, wobekum oguamma no wɔ beae a wɔbɔ bɔne ne ɔhyew afɔre no wɔ kronkronbea hɔ. Wɔde saa afɔdi afɔrebɔde yi bɛma ɔsɔfo no sɛnea wɔyɛ no bɔne afɔrebɔ mu no ara pɛ. Ɛyɛ afɔrebɔ a ɛyɛ kronkron ankasa.
He shall kill the male lamb in the place where they kill the habitual sin ·miss the mark· offering and the burnt offering, in the place of the sanctuary; for as the habitual sin ·miss the mark· offering is the priest’s, so is the fault incurring guilt offering. It is most holy.
14 Ɔsɔfo no bɛfa saa afɔdi afɔrebɔde mogya na ɔde akeka ɔyarefo a wɔretew ne ho no aso nifa ase ne ne nsa nifa kokurobeti ne ne nan nifa kokurobeti.
The priest shall take some of the blood of the fault incurring guilt offering, and the priest shall put it on the tip of the right ear of him who is to be cleansed, and on the thumb of his right hand, and on the big toe of his right foot.
15 Afei, ɔsɔfo no bɛfa ngo no bi ahwie agu ne nsa benkum mu
The priest shall take some of the log [0.65 qt; 0.31 L] of oil, and pour it into the palm of his own left hand.
16 na ɔde ne nsa nifa abɔ mu, na watu apete mpɛn ason wɔ Awurade anim.
The priest shall dip his right finger in the oil that is in his left hand, and shall sprinkle some of the oil with his finger seven times before Adonai.
17 Ngo no a ɛbɛka ne nsa benkum mu no, ɔsɔfo no de bɛka onipa no aso nifa ase ne ne nsa nifa kokurobeti ne ne nan nifa kokurobeti sɛnea ɔde afɔdi mogya yɛe wɔ afɔdi afɔrebɔ no mu no ara pɛ.
The priest shall put some of the rest of the oil that is in his hand on the tip of the right ear of him who is to be cleansed, and on the thumb of his right hand, and on the big toe of his right foot, upon the blood of the fault incurring guilt offering.
18 Ɔde ngo no nkae a ɛwɔ ne nsam no bɛfɔw ɔbarima no ti ho. Eyi bɛkyerɛ sɛ, ɔsɔfo no de ne ho ayɛ mpata ama onipa no wɔ Awurade anim.
The rest of the oil that is in the priest’s hand he shall put on the head of him who is to be cleansed, and the priest shall make atonement for him before Adonai.
19 “Afei, ɛsɛ sɛ ɔsɔfo no bɔ bɔne afɔre na ɔsan yɛ mpata ho ade ma onipa a wɔrehohoro ne ho afi ne kwata mu no ho; ɛno akyi no, ɔsɔfo no bekum ɔhyew afɔrebɔde no
“The priest shall offer the habitual sin ·miss the mark· offering, and make atonement for him who is to be cleansed because of his uncleanness: and afterward he shall kill the burnt offering;
20 na ɔde abɔ ɛne atoko afɔre wɔ afɔremuka no so de ayɛ mpata ama ɔbarima no na afei, wapae mu aka sɛ ne ho afi no.
and the priest shall offer the burnt offering and the meal offering on the altar. The priest shall make atonement for him, and he shall be clean.
21 “Sɛ ɔyɛ ohiani a ɔrentumi ntɔ nguamma abien no a, ɛno de, ɔde oguamma nini baako bɛbɔ afɔdi afɔre no de ama Awurade sɛ mpata a wohim wɔ afɔremuka no anim; na wɔde asikresiam fitaa muhumuhu lita abien ne fa a wɔde ngo afra de abɔ atoko afɔre no a ngo tumpan ka ho.
“If he is poor, and can’t afford so much, then he shall take one male lamb for a fault incurring guilt offering to be waved, to make atonement for him, and one tenth of an ephah [an omer; 2.3 q; 2.2 L] of fine flour mingled with oil for a meal offering, and one log [0.65 qt; 0.31 L] of oil;
22 Ɛno akyi no, ɔde mmorɔnoma abien anaa nturukuku mma abien mu biara a obenya no mu baako bɛbɔ bɔne afɔre na ɔde baako a ɛbɛka no nso abɔ ɔhyew afɔre.
and two turtledoves, or two young pigeons, such as he is able to afford; and the one shall be a habitual sin ·miss the mark· offering, and the other a burnt offering.
23 “Da a ɛto so awotwe no, ɔde ne nyinaa bɛkɔ akɔma ɔsɔfo no wɔ Ahyiae Ntamadan no ano na ɔsɔfo no de adwira no wɔ Awurade anim.
“On the eighth day he shall bring them for his cleansing to the priest, to the door of the Tent of Meeting, before Adonai.
24 Ɔsɔfo no bɛfa oguamma no de abɔ afɔdi afɔre. Ɔde ngo tumpan ma bɛka ho na wahim wɔ afɔremuka no anim de akyerɛ sɛ, wɔde rema Awurade.
The priest shall take the lamb of the fault incurring guilt offering, and the log [0.65 qt; 0.31 L] of oil, and the priest shall wave them for a wave offering before Adonai.
25 Afei, wobekum oguamma no de no abɔ afɔdi afɔre na ɔde ne mogya no bi akeka ɔbarima a wɔredwira no no aso nifa ase. Ɔde mogya no bi bɛka ne nsa nifa kokurobeti ne ne nan nifa kokurobeti.
He shall kill the lamb of the fault incurring guilt offering. The priest shall take some of the blood of the fault incurring guilt offering and put it on the tip of the right ear of him who is to be cleansed, and on the thumb of his right hand, and on the big toe of his right foot.
26 Ɔsɔfo no behwie ngo agu ɔno ara ne nsa benkum mu
The priest shall pour some of the oil into the palm of his own left hand;
27 na ɔde ne nsateaa nifa abɔ mu apete bi mpɛn ason wɔ Awurade anim.
and the priest shall sprinkle with his right finger some of the oil that is in his left hand seven times before Adonai.
28 Na ɛsɛ sɛ ɔde ngo a ɛwɔ ne nsam no bi ka ɔbarima no aso nifa ase ne ne nsa nifa kokurobeti ne ne nan nifa kokurobeti sɛnea ɔyɛɛ mogya no, bere a ɔrebɔ afɔdi afɔre no.
Then the priest shall put some of the oil that is in his hand on the tip of the right ear of him who is to be cleansed, and on the thumb of his right hand, and on the big toe of his right foot, on the place of the blood of the fault incurring guilt offering.
29 Ngo no a ɛbɛka wɔ ne nsam no, ɛsɛ sɛ ɔde fɔw ɔbarima a wɔredwira no no ti ho de yɛ mpata wɔ Awurade anim.
The rest of the oil that is in the priest’s hand he shall put on the head of him who is to be cleansed, to make atonement for him before Adonai.
30 Afei, ɛsɛ sɛ ɔde nturukuku abien anaa mmorɔnoma abien no mu biara a otumi tɔe no ba.
He shall offer one of the turtledoves, or of the young pigeons, such as he is able to afford,
31 Wɔde abien a onyae no mu baako bɛbɔ bɔne afɔre na baako a aka no, ɔde abɔ ɔhyew afɔre a saa bere no ara mu wɔbɛbɔ atoko afɔre nso, na ɔsɔfo no bɛyɛ mpata ama ɔbarima no wɔ Awurade anim.”
even such as he is able to afford, the one for a habitual sin ·miss the mark· offering, and the other for a burnt offering, with the meal offering. The priest shall make atonement for him who is to be cleansed before Adonai.”
32 Eyinom ne mmara a ɛfa wɔn a wɔtew wɔn ho ma wɔn ho fi kwata mu nanso wontumi mfa afɔrebɔde a ɛho hia no nyinaa mma no.
This is the Torah ·Teaching· for him in whom is the plague of tzara'at, who is not able to afford the sacrifice for his cleansing.
33 Afei, Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose ne Aaron se,
Adonai spoke to Moses [Drawn out] and to Aaron [Light-bringer], saying,
34 “Sɛ mudu Kanaan asase a mede ama mo no so, na sɛ mede kwata kɔ afi bi mu a,
“When you have come into the land of Canaan [Humbled], which I give to you for a possession, and I put a spreading tzara'at mildew in a house in the land of your possession,
35 ɛno de, ofiwura no nyi ne ho adi nkyerɛ ɔsɔfo no na ɔnka se, ‘Ɛyɛ me sɛ kwata wɔ me fi ha!’
then he who owns the house shall come and tell the priest, saying, ‘There seems to me to be some sort of plague in the house.’
36 Ɔsɔfo no bɛhyɛ ama wɔatu ofie hɔ nneɛma nyinaa ansa na wahwɛ hɔ sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a, sɛ ɔka se kwata wɔ fie hɔ a, ɛrengu biribi foforo ho fi wɔ hɔ.
The priest shall enjoin that they empty the house, before the priest goes in to examine the plague, that all that is in the house not be made unclean. Afterward the priest shall go in to inspect the house.
37 Sɛ ohu nsensansensan ahabammono anaa kɔkɔɔ wɔ ofie no afasu ho a anonom kɔ afasu no mu a,
He shall examine the plague; and behold, if the plague is in the walls of the house with hollow streaks, greenish or reddish, and it appears to be deeper than the wall;
38 ɔbɛto ofi no mu nnanson
then the priest shall go out of the house to the door of the house, and shut up the house seven days.
39 na ne nnanson so no, wasan aba bio abɛhwɛ. Na sɛ nsensansensan awurawura afasu no mu a,
The priest shall come again on the seventh day, and look. If the plague has spread in the walls of the house,
40 ɛno de, ɔsɔfo no bɛhyɛ ama wɔawerɛwerɛw nsisii no afi hɔ na wɔatow nwerɛwerɛwee no agu baabi a ɛhɔ ntew wɔ kurow no akyi baabi.
then the priest shall enjoin that they take out the stones in which is the plague, and cast them into an unclean place outside of the city:
41 Afei, ɔbɛhyɛ ama afasu a ɛwɔ ofi no mu no, wɔawerɛwerɛw no yiye na wɔatow nwerɛwerɛwee no agu baabi a ɛhɔ ntew wɔ kurow no akyi baabi.
and he shall cause the inside of the house to be scraped all over, and they shall pour out the mortar, that they scraped off, outside of the city into an unclean place.
42 Na wɔde abo foforo bi abɛhyɛ nea wɔwerɛwerɛw no anan na wɔde dɔte foforo asra ofi no ho.
They shall take other stones, and put them in the place of those stones; and he shall take other mortar, and shall plaster the house.
43 “Na sɛ nsisii no ba bio a,
“If the plague comes again, and breaks out in the house, after he has taken out the stones, and after he has scraped the house, and after it was plastered;
44 ɔsɔfo no bɛba bio abɛhwɛ na sɛ ohu sɛ nsisii no atrɛtrɛw a, na ɛyɛ kwata na ɛkyerɛ sɛ ofi no ho ntew.
then the priest shall come in and look; and behold, if the plague has spread in the house, it is a destructive tzara'at mildew in the house. It is unclean.
45 Sɛ ɛba saa a, ɔbɛhyɛ ama wɔabubu ofi no agu. Wɔbɛtwe mmubui no mu abo, nnua ne dɔte no nyinaa afi kurow no mu de akogu kurow no akyi baabi a ɛhɔ ntew.
He shall break down the house, its stones, and its timber, and all the house’s mortar. He shall carry them out of the city into an unclean place.
46 “Obiara a obewura ofi a wɔato mu no mu no ho ntew kosi anwummere.
“Moreover he who goes into the house while it is shut up shall be unclean until the evening.
47 Na obiara a ɔbɛda hɔ anaa obedidi wɔ fie hɔ no bɛhoro ne nneɛma nyinaa.
He who lies down in the house shall wash his clothes; and he who eats in the house shall wash his clothes.
48 “Na sɛ wɔsra ofi no ho bio na ɔsɔfo no bɛhwɛ na nsisii no mmaa bio a, ɔbɛpae mu aka se wɔatew ofi no ho na kwata no nso kɔ.
“If the priest shall come in, and examine it, and behold, the plague has not spread in the house, after the house was plastered, then the priest shall pronounce the house clean, because the plague is healed.
49 Obedi ofi no ahodwira ho dwuma. Ɔde nnomaa abien, sida dua, asaawa kɔkɔɔ ne adwerɛ mman na ebedi saa dwuma no.
To cleanse sin ·err (the standard goal)· from the house he shall take two birds, and cedar wood, and scarlet, and hyssop.
50 Obekum nnomaa no baako wɔ nsu pa a ɛwɔ asanka mu so,
He shall kill one of the birds in an earthen vessel over running water.
51 na ɔde sida dua no ne adwerɛ mman ne hama kɔkɔɔ ne anomaa a wonkum no no anu anomaa a wɔakum no nsu pa no so no mogya mu na wɔde apete ofi no mpɛn ason.
He shall take the cedar wood, and the hyssop, and the scarlet, and the living bird, and dip them in the blood of the slain bird, and in the running water, and sprinkle the house seven times.
52 Wɔyɛ eyi de tew ofi no ho.
He shall cleanse sin ·err (the standard goal)· from the house with the blood of the bird, and with the running water, with the living bird, with the cedar wood, with the hyssop, and with the scarlet;
53 Afei, obegyaa anomaa a onwui no ama watu akɔ kurow no akyi baabi. Eyi ne ɔkwan a wɔfa so de yɛ mpata de ma ofi san de dwira ho no.”
but he shall let the living bird go out of the city into the open field. So shall he make atonement for the house; and it shall be clean.”
54 Eyinom ne mmara a ɛfa mmeaemmeae a kwata ba hɔ no ho.
This is the Torah ·Teaching· for any plague of tzara'at, and for an itch,
55 Sɛ ɛyɛ atade mu anaa ofi mu,
and for the destructive tzara'at mildew of a garment, and for a house,
56 anaa ɔhonam ani ahonhon, anaa ɔhyehyew mu mpumpunnya anaa ɔhonam ani baabi a ɛhɔ ayɛ hyerɛnn.
and for a rising, and for a scab, and for a bright spot;
57 Saa ɔkwan yi so na wɔbɛfa ahu sɛ ɛyɛ kwata anaa ɛnyɛ kwata. Eyi nti na wɔhyɛɛ saa mmara yi.
to teach when it is unclean, and when it is clean. This is the Torah ·Teaching· of tzara'at.
