3 Mose 15
1 Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose ne Aaron se,
Yahweh spoke 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 people of Israel, and say to them, 'When any man has an infected fluid that comes out of his body, he becomes unclean.
3 Sɛ ɛkɔ so sen o, egyae o, agu ne ho fi. Fi a nsu a egu no no de bɛba ni:
His uncleanness is due to this infected fluid. Whether his body flows with fluid or is stopped up, it is unclean.
4 “‘Mpa a ɔbɛda so ne biribiara a ɔbɛtena so nso ho gu fi.
Every bed on which he lies will be unclean, and everything on which he sits will be unclean.
5 Obiara a ɔde ne ho ka ɔbarima no mpa ho gu fi kosi anwummere, enti ɛsɛ sɛ ɔhoro ne ntama na oguare.
Whoever touches his bed must wash his clothes and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until 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.
Anyone who sits on anything on which the man with the flow of infected fluid sat, that person must wash his clothes and bathe himself in water, and he will be unclean until evening.
7 “‘Saa mmara yi ka obiara a ɔde ne ho bɛka ɔbarima no.
Anyone who touches the body of the one who has a flow of infected fluid must wash his clothes and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until 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.
If the person who has such a flow of fluid spits on someone who is clean, then that person must wash his clothes and bathe himself in water, and he will be unclean until evening.
9 “‘Ɔpɔnkɔ agua biara a ɔbɛtena so no ho agu fi.
Any saddle which he who has a flow rides upon will be 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.
Whoever touches anything that was under that person will be unclean until evening, and anyone who carries those things must wash his clothes and bathe himself in water; he will be unclean until 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.
Whomever he who has such a flow touches without first having rinsed his hands in water, the person who was touched must wash his clothes and bathe himself in water, and he will be unclean until 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.
Any clay pot that the one with such a flow of fluid touches must be broken, and every container of wood must be rinsed in 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.
When he who has a flow is cleansed from his flow, then he must count for himself seven days for his cleansing; then he must wash his clothes and bathe his body in running water. Then he will be 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.
On the eighth day he must take two doves or two young pigeons and come before Yahweh at the entrance to the tent of meeting; there he must give the birds 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.
The priest must offer them, one as a sin offering and the other as a burnt offering, and the priest must make atonement for him before Yahweh for his flow.
16 “‘Sɛ ɔbarima biara ho nsu gu a, ɛsɛ sɛ oguare ne ho nyinaa, efisɛ ne ho nso ntew kosi anwummere.
If any man has an emission of semen, then he must bathe his whole body in water; he will be unclean until evening.
17 Ntama anaa mpasotam biara a ho nsu no bi begu mu no, ɛsɛ sɛ wɔhoro, efisɛ ɛho ntew kosi anwummere.
Every garment or leather on which there is semen must be washed with water; it will be unclean until 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.
If a woman and a man sleep together and there is a transfer of semen to her, they must both bathe themselves in water; they will be unclean until 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.
When a woman menstruates, her impurity will continue for seven days, and whoever touches her will be unclean until evening.
20 “‘Biribiara a ɔbɛda so anaa ɔbɛtena so saa bere no mu no nso ho agu fi.
Everything she lies on during her period will be unclean; everything that she sits on will also be 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.
Whoever touches her bed must wash his clothes and bathe himself in water; that person will be unclean until 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.
Whoever touches anything that she sits on must wash his clothes and bathe himself in water; that person will be unclean until evening.
23 Sɛ ɛyɛ ne mpasotam anaa nʼakongua, obiara a ne ho bɛka no ho begu fi akosi anwummere.
Whether it is on the bed or on anything on which she sits, if he touches it, that person will be unclean until 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.
If any man sleeps with her, and if her impure flow touches him, he will be unclean for seven days. Every bed on which he lies will be 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,
If a woman has a flow of blood for many days that is not in the time of her menstruation, or if she has a flow beyond the time of her menstruation, during all the days of the flow of her uncleanness, she will be as if she were in the days of her period. 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 during her flow of blood will be to her just like the bed on which she lies during her menstruation, and everything on which she sits will be unclean, just like the uncleanness of her menstruation.
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.
Whoever touches any of those things will be unclean; he must wash his clothes and bathe himself in water, and he will be unclean until evening.
28 “‘Nnanson akyi, sɛ afikyikɔ no twa a, na onni efi mu bio.
But if she is cleansed from her flow of blood, then she will count for herself seven days, and after that she will be clean.
29 Da a ɛto so awotwe no, ɔde nturukuku abien anaa mmorɔnomamma abien bɛkɔ akɔma ɔsɔfo no wɔ Ahyiae Ntamadan no kwan ano.
On the eighth day she will take to her two doves or two young pigeons and bring them to the priest at the entrance to 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.
The priest will offer one bird as a sin offering and the other as a burnt offering, and he will make atonement for her before Yahweh for her unclean flow of blood.
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.’”
This is how you must separate the people of Israel from their uncleanness, so they will not die due to their uncleanness, by defiling my tabernacle, where I live among them.
32 Eyinom ne mmara a ɛwɔ hɔ ma ɔbarima a ne ho sen
These are the regulations for anyone who has a flow of fluid, for any man whose semen goes out of him and makes him unclean,
33 ne ɔbea a wakɔ afikyiri ne obiara a ɔde ne ho ka ɔsakyimafo wɔ bere a ne ho ntew no mu no.
for any woman who has a menstrual period, for anyone with a flow of fluid, whether male or female, and for any man who sleeps with an unclean woman.'”
