3 Mose 15

1 Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose ne Aaron se,

And YHWH speaks to Moses and to Aaron, saying,

2 “Monhyɛ saa mmara yi mma Israelfo: ‘Ɔbarima biara a ne ho bɛsen nsu no, saa nsu no yɛ fi.

“Speak to the sons of Israel, and you have said to them: When there is discharging out of the flesh of any man, he [is] unclean [from] his discharge;

3 Sɛ ɛkɔ so sen o, egyae o, agu ne ho fi. Fi a nsu a egu no no de bɛba ni:

and this is his uncleanness in his discharge—his flesh has run with his discharge, or his flesh has stopped from his discharge; it [is] his uncleanness.

4 “‘Mpa a ɔbɛda so ne biribiara a ɔbɛtena so nso ho gu fi.

Every bed on which he who has the discharging lies is unclean, and every vessel on which he sits is unclean;

5 Obiara a ɔde ne ho ka ɔbarima no mpa ho gu fi kosi anwummere, enti ɛsɛ sɛ ɔhoro ne ntama na oguare.

and anyone who comes against his bed washes his garments, and has bathed with water, and been unclean until the evening.

6 Obiara a ɔbɛtena akongua a ɔbarima no atena so so ho gu fi kosi anwummere, enti ɛsɛ sɛ ɔhoro ne ntama na oguare.

And he who is sitting on the vessel on which he sits who has the discharging, washes his garments, and has bathed with water, and been unclean until the evening.

7 “‘Saa mmara yi ka obiara a ɔde ne ho bɛka ɔbarima no.

And he who is coming against the flesh of him who has the discharging, washes his garments, and has bathed with water, and been unclean until the evening.

8 “‘Obiara a ɔbarima no bɛte ntasu agu ne so no ho ntew kosi anwummere, enti ɛsɛ sɛ onii no horo ne ntama na oguare.

And when he who has the discharging spits on him who is clean, then he has washed his garments, and has bathed with water, and been unclean until the evening.

9 “‘Ɔpɔnkɔ agua biara a ɔbɛtena so no ho agu fi.

And all the saddle on which he who has the discharging rides is unclean;

10 Obiara a ne ho bɛka biribiara a aka saa onipa no ase no ho ntew kosi anwummere, enti ɛsɛ sɛ ɔhoro ne ntama na oguare.

and anyone who is coming against anything which is under him is unclean until the evening, and he who is carrying them washes his garments, and has bathed with water, and been unclean until the evening.

11 “‘Sɛ onipa a ne ho ntew no koso obi mu na wanhohoro ne nsa ansa a, ɛsɛ sɛ onipa ko no horo ne ntama, guare, efisɛ ne ho ntew kosi anwummere.

And anyone against whom he who has the discharging comes (and has not rinsed his hands with water) has even washed his garments, and bathed with water, and been unclean until the evening.

12 “‘Sɛ saa onipa no so asanka biara mu a, ɛsɛ sɛ wɔbɔ no na sɛ ɛyɛ mukaase biribi a wɔde dua na asen de a, ɛsɛ sɛ wɔde nsu hohoro ho.

And the earthen vessel which he who has the discharging comes against is broken; and every wooden vessel is rinsed with water.

13 “‘Sɛ nʼahosen no twa a, ɛsɛ sɛ ɔde nnanson fi ahodwira ho ahosiesie ase na ɔhoro ne ntama na okoguare wɔ asubɔnten mu.

And when he who has the discharging is clean from his discharge, then he has numbered seven days for himself for his cleansing, and has washed his garments, and has bathed his flesh with running water, and been clean.

14 Da a ɛto so awotwe no, ɔde nturukuku abien anaa mmorɔnomamma abien bɛba Awurade anim wɔ Ahyiae Ntamadan no ano na ɔde ama ɔsɔfo no.

And on the eighth day he takes two turtle-doves or two young pigeons for himself, and has come in before YHWH to the opening of the Tent of Meeting, and has given them to the priest;

15 Ɔsɔfo no de wɔn bɛbɔ afɔre a baako yɛ bɔne ho afɔre na baako no nso yɛ ɔhyew afɔre; na ɛkyerɛ sɛ, ɔsɔfo no bɛyɛ mpata wɔ Awurade anim ama ɔbarima no, esiane nʼahosen no nti.

and the priest has made them, one a sin-offering and one a burnt-offering; and the priest has made atonement for him before YHWH, because of his discharge.

16 “‘Sɛ ɔbarima biara ho nsu gu a, ɛsɛ sɛ oguare ne ho nyinaa, efisɛ ne ho nso ntew kosi anwummere.

And when a man’s seed [from] intercourse goes out from him, then he has bathed all his flesh with water, and been unclean until the evening.

17 Ntama anaa mpasotam biara a ho nsu no bi begu mu no, ɛsɛ sɛ wɔhoro, efisɛ ɛho ntew kosi anwummere.

And any garment, or any skin on which there is seed [from] intercourse, has also been washed with water, and been unclean until the evening.

18 Sɛ ɔbarima fa ɔbea a, wɔn nna no akyi, ɛsɛ sɛ ɔbea no ne ɔbarima no nyinaa guare, efisɛ wɔn ho ntew kosi anwummere.

And a woman with whom a man lies with seed [from] intercourse, they also have bathed with water, and been unclean until the evening.

19 “‘Sɛ ɔbea kɔ afikyiri a, ne ho ntew nnanson mu. Saa bere no mu, obiara a ɔde ne ho bɛka no no nso ho ntew kosi anwummere.

And when a woman has discharging—blood is her discharge in her flesh—she is in her separation [for] seven days, and anyone who is coming against her is unclean until the evening.

20 “‘Biribiara a ɔbɛda so anaa ɔbɛtena so saa bere no mu no nso ho agu fi.

And anything on which she lies in her separation is unclean, and anything on which she sits is unclean;

21 Obiara a ɔde ne nsa bɛka ne mpa anaa biribiara a ɔtena so no bɛhoro ne ntama, aguare, efisɛ onipa no ho agu fi kosi anwummere.

and anyone who is coming against her bed washes his garments, and has bathed with water, and been unclean until the evening.

22 Sɛ obi so biribi a watena so mu nso a, ɛsɛ sɛ ɔhoro ne ntama na oguare, efisɛ ne ho agu fi kosi anwummere.

And anyone who is coming against any vessel on which she sits washes his garments, and has washed with water, and been unclean until the evening.

23 Sɛ ɛyɛ ne mpasotam anaa nʼakongua, obiara a ne ho bɛka no ho begu fi akosi anwummere.

And if it [is] on the bed, or on the vessel on which she is sitting, in his coming against it, he is unclean until the evening.

24 “‘Sɛ ɔbarima ne no da saa bere yi mu a, ɔbarima no ho gu fi nnanson; na mpa biara a ɔbarima no bɛda so no nso ho gu fi.

And if a man really lies with her, and her separation is on him, then he has been unclean [for] seven days, and all the bed on which he lies is unclean.

25 “‘Sɛ bere du sɛ ofi nanso mogya da so ba anaasɛ mogya ba bere a ɛnsɛ mu wɔ ɔsram no mu a, mmara koro no ara na wɔde ka ho asɛm,

And when a woman’s discharge of blood flows many days within the time of her separation, or when it flows over her separation—all the days of the discharge of her uncleanness are as the days of her separation; she [is] unclean.

26 na ɛkyerɛ sɛ, biribiara a ɔbɛda so saa bere no ho agu fi te sɛ nea nʼafikyikɔ bere mu ɔtena biribi so a, ɛho gu fi no ara pɛ.

Every bed on which she lies all the days of her discharge is as the bed of her separation to her, and every vessel on which she sits is unclean as the uncleanness of her separation;

27 Obiara a ɔde ne nsa bɛka ne mpa anaa biribiara a ɔtena so no ho agu fi a ɛsɛ sɛ ɔhoro ne ntama, san guare, efisɛ ne ho ntew kosi anwummere.

and anyone who is coming against them is unclean, and has washed his garments, and has bathed with water, and been unclean until the evening.

28 “‘Nnanson akyi, sɛ afikyikɔ no twa a, na onni efi mu bio.

And if she has been clean from her discharge, then she has numbered seven days for herself, and afterward she is clean;

29 Da a ɛto so awotwe no, ɔde nturukuku abien anaa mmorɔnomamma abien bɛkɔ akɔma ɔsɔfo no wɔ Ahyiae Ntamadan no kwan ano.

and on the eighth day she takes two turtle-doves or two young pigeons for herself, and has brought them to the priest, to the opening of the Tent of Meeting;

30 Ɛsɛ sɛ ɔsɔfo no de baako bɔ bɔne ho afɔre na ɔde baako bɔ ɔhyew afɔre na ayɛ mpata ama ɔbea no wɔ Awurade anim wɔ nʼafikyikɔ mu no ho.

and the priest has made one a sin-offering and one a burnt-offering, and the priest has made atonement for her before YHWH, because of the discharge of her uncleanness.

31 “‘Saa ɔkwan yi so na sɛ Israelfo no bi ho gu fi a, mobɛfa de atew wɔn ho; anyɛ saa a, esiane sɛ wɔagu mʼAhyiae Ntamadan a esi wɔn mu no ho fi nti, wobewuwu.’”

And you have separated the sons of Israel from their uncleanness, and they do not die in their uncleanness, in their defiling My Dwelling Place which [is] in their midst.

32 Eyinom ne mmara a ɛwɔ hɔ ma ɔbarima a ne ho sen

This [is] the law of him who has the discharging, and of him whose seed [from] intercourse goes out from him, to become unclean with it,

33 ne ɔbea a wakɔ afikyiri ne obiara a ɔde ne ho ka ɔsakyimafo wɔ bere a ne ho ntew no mu no.

and of her who is sick in her separation, and of him who has the discharging (his discharge, of the male or of the female), and of a man who lies with an unclean woman.”
