3 Mose 14

1 Onyankopɔn ka kyerɛɛ Mose se,

And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

2 “Da a wobedwira ɔkwatani ho no, ɛho mmara ni: Wɔde no bɛkɔ akɔma ɔsɔfo,

This shall be the law 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 forth out of the camp: and the priest shall look, and behold, [if] the plague of leprosy 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 shall the priest command to take for him that is to be cleansed two birds alive, [and] clean, and cedar-wood, and scarlet, and hyssop.

5 Ɔsɔfo no bɛka ama wɔakum nnomaa no mu baako wɔ asanka a nsu wɔ mu so.

And the priest shall command that one of the birds be killed 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.

And he shall sprinkle upon him that is to be cleansed from the leprosy seven times, and shall pronounce him clean, and shall let the living bird loose 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.

And he that is to be cleansed shall wash his clothes, and shave off all his hair, and wash himself in water, that he may be clean: and after that he shall come into the camp, and shall tarry abroad out of 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.

But it shall be on the seventh day, that he shall shave all his hair off his head, and his beard, and his eye-brows, even all his hair he shall shave off; and he shall wash his clothes, also he shall wash his flesh in water, and 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.

And on the eighth day he shall take two he-lambs without blemish, and one ewe-lamb of the first year without blemish, and three tenth-parts of fine flour [for] a meat-offering, mingled with oil, and one log 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.

And the priest that maketh [him] clean, shall present the man that is to be made clean, and those things, before the LORD, [at] the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.

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.

And the priest shall take one he-lamb, and offer him for a trespass-offering, and the log of oil, and wave them [for] a wave-offering before the LORD.

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.

And he shall slay the lamb in the place where he shall kill the sin-offering and the burnt-offering, in the holy-place: for as the sin-offering [is] the priest's, [so is] the trespass-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.

And the priest shall take [some] of the blood of the trespass-offering, and the priest shall put [it] upon the tip of the right ear of him that is to be cleansed, and upon the thumb of his right hand, and upon the great toe of his right foot.

15 Afei, ɔsɔfo no bɛfa ngo no bi ahwie agu ne nsa benkum mu

And the priest shall take [some] of the log 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.

And the priest shall dip his right finger in the oil that [is] in his left hand, and shall sprinkle of the oil with his finger seven times before the LORD.

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.

And of the rest of the oil that [is] in his hand, shall the priest put upon the tip of the right ear of him that is to be cleansed, and upon the thumb of his right hand, and upon the great toe of his right foot, upon the blood of the trespass-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.

And the remnant of the oil that [is] in the priest's hand he shall pour upon the head of him that is to be cleansed: and the priest shall make an atonement for him before the LORD.

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

And the priest shall offer the sin-offering, and make an atonement for him that is to be cleansed from 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 meat-offering upon the altar: and the priest shall make an 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.

And if he [is] poor, and cannot get so much; then he shall take one lamb [for] a trespass-offering to be waved, to make an atonement for him, and one tenth-part of fine flour mingled with oil for a meat-offering, and a log 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 turtle-doves, or two young pigeons, such as he is able to get; and the one shall be a sin-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.

And he shall bring them on the eighth day for his cleansing to the priest, to the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, before the LORD.

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.

And the priest shall take the lamb of the trespass-offering, and the log of oil, and the priest shall wave them [for] a wave-offering before the LORD.

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.

And he shall kill the lamb of the trespass-offering, and the priest shall take [some] of the blood of the trespass-offering, and put [it] upon the tip of the right ear of him that is to be cleansed, and upon the thumb of his right hand, and upon the great toe of his right foot.

26 Ɔsɔfo no behwie ngo agu ɔno ara ne nsa benkum mu

And the priest shall pour 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 the LORD:

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.

And the priest shall put of the oil that [is] in his hand upon the tip of the right ear of him that is to be cleansed, and upon the thumb of his right hand, and upon the great toe of his right foot, upon the place of the blood of the trespass-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.

And the rest of the oil that [is] in the priest's hand he shall put upon the head of him that is to be cleansed, to make an atonement for him before the LORD.

30 Afei, ɛsɛ sɛ ɔde nturukuku abien anaa mmorɔnoma abien no mu biara a otumi tɔe no ba.

And he shall offer one of the turtle-doves, or of the young pigeons, such as he can get;

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 get, the one [for] a sin-offering, and the other [for] a burnt-offering, with the meat-offering. And the priest shall make an atonement for him that is to be cleansed, before the LORD.

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 law [of him] in whom is the plague of leprosy, whose hand is not able to get [that which pertaineth] to his cleansing.

33 Afei, Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose ne Aaron se,

And the LORD spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,

34 “Sɛ mudu Kanaan asase a mede ama mo no so, na sɛ mede kwata kɔ afi bi mu a,

When ye shall have come into the land of Canaan, which I give to you for a possession, and I put the plague of leprosy in a house of 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!’

And he that owneth the house shall come and tell the priest, saying, it seemeth to me [there is] as it were a 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.

Then the priest shall command that they empty the house, before the priest shall enter to see the plague, that all that [is] in the house may not be made unclean; and afterward the priest shall go in to see the house:

37 Sɛ ohu nsensansensan ahabammono anaa kɔkɔɔ wɔ ofie no afasu ho a anonom kɔ afasu no mu a,

And he shall look on the plague, and behold, [if] the plague [is] in the walls of the house, with hollow streaks, greenish, or reddish, which in sight [are] lower 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,

And the priest shall come again the seventh day, and shall look; and behold, [if] the plague is 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 command that they take away the stones in which the plague [is], and they shall cast them into an unclean place without 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 house to be scraped within on all sides, and they shall pour out the dust that they scrape off without 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.

And 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,

And if the plague shall return, and break out in the house, after that he hath taken away the stones, and after he hath scraped the house, and after it is 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 and look; and behold, [if] the plague is spread in the house, it [is] a fretting leprosy 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.

And he shall break down the house, its stones, and its timber, and all the mortar of the house: and he shall carry [them] forth out of the city to an unclean place.

46 “Obiara a obewura ofi a wɔato mu no mu no ho ntew kosi anwummere.

Moreover, he that goeth into the house all the while that 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.

And he that lieth in the house shall wash his clothes: and he that eateth 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.

And if the priest shall come in, and look [upon it], and behold, the plague hath 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.

And he shall take to cleanse the house two birds, and cedar-wood, and scarlet, and hyssop:

50 Obekum nnomaa no baako wɔ nsu pa a ɛwɔ asanka mu so,

And 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.

And 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.

And he shall cleanse the house with the blood of the bird, and with the running water, and with the living bird, and with the cedar wood, and 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 go the living bird out of the city into the open fields, and make an 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 law for all manner of plague of leprosy, and scall,

55 Sɛ ɛyɛ atade mu anaa ofi mu,

And for the leprosy of a garment, and of 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 law of leprosy.
