3 Mose 23

1 Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose se,

Adonai spoke to Moses [Drawn out], saying,

2 “Ma Israelfo nte sɛ, ‘Eyinom ne mʼafahyɛ ahorow a mahyehyɛ, Awurade afahyɛ ahorow no a ɛsɛ sɛ mudi no sɛ nhyiamu kronkron.

“Speak to the children of Israel [God prevails], and tell them, ‘The set feasts of Adonai, which you shall proclaim to be holy convocations, even these are my set feasts.

3 “‘Mowɔ nnansia a mode yɛ adwuma, na da a ɛto so ason no yɛ Homeda a mode home, da a moyɛ nhyiamu kronkron. Ɛnsɛ sɛ moyɛ adwuma biara wɔ faako a mote. Ɛyɛ Homeda ma Awurade.

“‘Six days shall work be done, but on the seventh day is a Sabbath ·To cease· of solemn rest, a holy convocation; you shall do no kind of work. It is a Sabbath ·To cease· to Adonai in all your dwellings.

4 “‘Eyinom ne Awurade aponto, nhyiamu kronkron a ɛsɛ sɛ mobɔ bere a wɔahyɛ no ho dawuru:

“‘These are the set feasts of Adonai, even holy convocations, which you shall proclaim in their appointed season.

5 Wofi Awurade Twam Afahyɛ no ase wɔ ɔsram a edi kan no da ɛto so dunan no anwummere.

In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month in the evening, is Adonai’s Pesac ·Passover·.

6 Awurade Apiti Afahyɛ nso, wofi ase saa ɔsram no da a ɛto so dunum; na mubedi apiti nnanson.

On the fifteenth day of the same month is the festival of Matzah ·Unleavened bread· to Adonai. Seven days you shall eat matzah ·unleavened bread·.

7 Afahyɛ no da a edi kan no, nnipa no nyinaa bɛbɔ ahotew gua na obiara renyɛ adwuma a ɛyɛ den biara.

In the first day you shall have a holy convocation. You shall do no regular aboda ·service·.

8 Nnanson no mu no, mommɔ ɔhyew afɔre mma Awurade da biara. Na da a ɛto so ason no, mobɛyɛ nhyiamu kronkron a obiara renyɛ adwuma.’”

But you shall offer an offering made by fire to Adonai seven days. In the seventh day is a holy convocation: you shall do no regular aboda ·service·.’”

9 Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose se,

Adonai spoke to Moses [Drawn out], saying,

10 “Kasa kyerɛ Israelfo no se, ‘Sɛ mudu asase a mede bɛma mo no so na mutwa mo nnɔbae a, momfa nnɔbae afiafi no mu baako nkɔma ɔsɔfo.

“Speak to the children of Israel [God prevails], and tell them, ‘When you have come into the land which I give to you, and shall reap its harvest, then you shall bring the sheaf of the first fruits of your harvest to the priest:

11 Obehim no wɔ Awurade anim de akyerɛ sɛ ɔde rema no na Awurade begye sɛ mo akyɛde.

and he shall wave the sheaf before Adonai, to be accepted for you. On the next day after the Sabbath ·To cease· the priest shall wave it.

12 Da no ara, mode odwennini a wadi afe a onnii dɛm bɛbɔ Awurade ɔhyew afɔre,

On the day when you wave the sheaf, you shall offer a male lamb without defect a year old for a burnt offering to Adonai.

13 ne nʼaduan afɔrebɔde a ɛyɛ esiam kilogram abiɛsa a wɔde ngo afra. Ɛbɛyɛ ɔhyew afɔre a eyi hua dɛdɛ ma Awurade. Wɔde nsa lita anan ne fa afɔrebɔde bɛka ho.

The meal offering with it shall be one tenth of an ephah [two omers; 4.6 q; 4.4 L] of fine flour mingled with oil, an offering made by fire to Adonai for a pleasant aroma; and the drink offering with it shall be of wine, the fourth part of a hin [2.6 qt; 1.2 L].

14 Ɛnsɛ sɛ mudi brodo biara, sɛ ɛyɛ aduan a wɔato anaa ɛyɛ foforo, kosi da a mode saa afɔrebɔde yi bɛbrɛ mo Nyankopɔn. Eyi bɛyɛ ahyɛde a ɛbɛtena hɔ daa ama awo ntoatoaso a ɛbɛba no wɔ baabiara a mobɛtena.

You must not eat bread, or roasted grain, or fresh grain, until this same day, until you have brought the offering of your God. This is a regulation forever throughout all your generations in all your dwellings.

15 “‘Homeda no akyi da a edi kan a wɔmaa atoko afiafi mu baako so him no Awurade anim sɛ afɔrebɔde no, mubefi ase abubu nnaawɔtwe ason.

“‘You shall count from the next day after the Sabbath, from the day that you brought the sheaf of the wave offering; seven Sabbaths shall be completed:

16 Monkan adaduonum a ekosi homeda a ɛto so ason no akyi da koro na momfa atoko foforo mmɛbɔ afɔre mma Awurade.

even to the next day after the seventh Sabbath ·To cease· you shall count fifty days; and you shall offer a new meal offering to Adonai.

17 Eyi bɛyɛ brodo abien a mode befi mo afi mu bɛba. Na wobehim no wɔ Awurade anim sɛ afɔrebɔ no. Momfa asikresiam lita anan a wɔde mmɔkaw afra nto saa brodo yi. Ɛyɛ mo aduan a edi kan afɔrebɔde a mode rema Awurade.

You shall bring out of your habitations two loaves of bread for a wave offering made of one tenth of an ephah [two omers; 4.6 q; 4.4 L] of fine flour. They shall be baked with yeast, for first fruits to Adonai.

18 Mode brodo ne nsa bɛka nguamma ason a wɔadi afe a dɛm biara nni wɔn ho ne nantwi ba baako ne adwennini abien ho abɔ ɔhyew afɔre ama Awurade. Eyinom nyinaa yɛ ogya afɔrebɔde a ɛsɔ Awurade ani yiye.

You shall present with the bread seven lambs without defect a year old, one young bull, and two rams. They shall be a burnt offering to Adonai, with their meal offering, and their drink offerings, even an offering made by fire, of a sweet aroma to Adonai.

19 Mode ɔpapo baako bɛbɔ bɔne afɔre. Na mode nguantenmma abien a wɔn mu biara adi afe no abɔ asomdwoe afɔre.

You shall offer one male goat for a sin offering, and two male lambs a year old for a sacrifice of peace offerings.

20 Asɔfo no behim saa afɔrebɔde yi ne brodo abien a esi mo nnɔbae a edi akyi no anan mu no wɔ Awurade anim. Ɛyɛ kronkron ma Awurade na wɔde bɛma asɔfo no sɛ wɔn aduan.

The priest shall wave them with the bread of the first fruits for a wave offering before Adonai, with the two lambs. They shall be holy to Adonai for the priest.

21 Da no, ɛsɛ sɛ mobɔ nhyiamu kronkron no ho dawuru, na monnyɛ adwuma biara. Eyi bɛyɛ ahyɛde a ɛbɛtena hɔ daa ama awo ntoatoaso a ɛbɛba no wɔ baabiara a mobɛtena.

You shall make proclamation on the same day: there shall be a holy convocation to you; you shall do no regular aboda ·service·. This is a regulation forever in all your dwellings throughout all your generations.

22 “‘Sɛ mutwa mo mfuw mu nnɔbae a, munntwa ntu nnɔbae no ase, na nea aporow agu fam no nso, monntase. Munnyaw mma ahiafo ne ahɔho a wɔte mo mu a wonni asase bi a wodidi so no. Mene Awurade mo Nyankopɔn!’”

“‘When you reap the harvest of your land, you must not wholly reap into the corners of your field, and you must not gather the gleanings of your harvest. You must leave them for the poor, and for the foreigner. I am Adonai your God.’”

23 Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose se,

Adonai spoke to Moses [Drawn out], saying,

24 “Ka kyerɛ Israelfo se, ‘Ɔsram a ɛto so ason no da a edi kan no, ɛsɛ sɛ mohome da no, na moyɛ nhyiamu kronkron na mohyɛn torobɛnto denneennen de kae.

“Speak to the children of Israel [God prevails], saying, ‘In the seventh month, on the first day of the month, shall be a solemn rest to you, a memorial of blowing of shofarot ·ram horns·, a holy convocation.

25 Saa da no, obiara nni ho kwan sɛ ɔyɛ adwuma, na mmom, mommɔ ogya so afɔre mma Awurade.’”

You shall do no regular aboda ·service·; and you shall offer an offering made by fire to Adonai.’”

26 Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose se,

Adonai spoke to Moses [Drawn out], saying,

27 “Saa ɔsram a ɛto so ason yi da a ɛto so du ne Mpata Da no. Monyɛ nhyiamu kronkron, munni abuada na mommɔ ogya so afɔre mma Awurade

“However on the tenth day of this seventh month is Yom-Kippur ·Day of Atonement·: it shall be a holy convocation to you, and you shall afflict yourselves; and you shall offer an offering made by fire to Adonai.

28 Monnyɛ adwuma biara saa da no, efisɛ ɛyɛ Mpata Da, bere a wɔpata ma mo wɔ Awurade mo Nyankopɔn anim.

You shall do no kind of work in that same day; for it is Yom-Kippur ·Day of Atonement·, to make atonement for you before Adonai your God.

29 Obiara a wanni da no ahonu ne awerɛhow so wɔ ne bɔne ho no, wobeyi no afi ne nkurɔfo mu.

For whoever it is who shall not deny himself in that same day; shall be cut off from his people.

30 Obiara a ɔbɛyɛ adwuma saa da no mɛsɛe no.

Whoever it is who does any kind of work in that same day, that person I will destroy from among his people.

31 Monnyɛ adwuma biara koraa. Eyi bɛyɛ ahyɛde a ɛbɛtena hɔ daa ama awo ntoatoaso a ɛbɛba no wɔ baabiara a mobɛtena.

You shall do no kind of work: it is a statute forever throughout all your generations in all your dwellings.

32 Ɛyɛ Homeda a wɔde home ma mo. Ɛsɛ sɛ mobrɛ mo kra ase. Efi da a ɛto so akron kosi da a ɛto so du no anwummere no, ɛsɛ sɛ mudi mo Homeda.”

It shall be a Sabbath of solemn rest for you, and you shall deny yourselves. In the ninth day of the month at evening, from evening to evening, you shall keep your Sabbath.”

33 Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose se,

Adonai spoke to Moses [Drawn out], saying,

34 “Ka kyerɛ Israelfo se, ‘Ɔsram a ɛto so ason no da a ɛto so dunum no, wɔnhyɛ Awurade Asese Afahyɛ no ase, na mode nnanson na ebedi.

“Speak to the children of Israel [God prevails], and say, ‘On the fifteenth day of this seventh month is the festival of Sukkot ·Booths· for seven days to Adonai.

35 Da a edi kan no yɛ nhyiamu kronkron da; monnyɛ adwuma biara.

On the first day shall be a holy convocation: you shall do no regular aboda ·service·.

36 Da biara wɔ nnanson no mu no, ɛsɛ sɛ mobɔ ogya so afɔre ma Awurade. Da a ɛto so awotwe no, mobɛyɛ nhyiamu kronkron na moabɔ ogya so afɔre ama Awurade. Ɛyɛ nhyiamu a etwa to. Monnyɛ adwuma biara.

Seven days you shall offer an offering made by fire to Adonai. On the eighth day shall be a holy convocation to you; and you shall offer an offering made by fire to Adonai. It is a solemn assembly; you shall do no regular aboda ·service·.

37 “‘Eyinom ne afahyɛ ahorow a Awurade ahyehyɛ sɛ mommɔ ho dawuru sɛ ɛyɛ nhyiamu kronkron a wɔde afɔrebɔde a wɔhyew no ogya so ma Awurade no ba: ɔhyew afɔre ne aduan afɔre, afɔrebɔde ahorow ne nsa afɔrebɔde a ɛho hia da biara.

“‘These are the appointed feasts of Adonai, which you shall proclaim to be holy convocations, to offer an offering made by fire to Adonai, a burnt offering, and a meal offering, a sacrifice, and drink offerings, each on its own day;

38 Munni saa afahyɛ yi nka Awurade Homeda no ho. Na mode saa afɔrebɔde nso bɛka mo ankasa ayɛyɛde, bɔ a moahyɛ ne nea mufi mo pɛ mu de ma Awurade ho.

besides the Sabbaths of Adonai, and besides your gifts, and besides all your vows, and besides all your free will offerings, which you give to Adonai.

39 “‘Enti efi ɔsram a ɛto so ason no da a ɛto so dunum no a moatwa asase no so nnɔbae no, momfa nnanson nni afahyɛ mma Awurade. Da a edi kan ne nea ɛto so awotwe yɛ ahomegyenna.

“‘So on the fifteenth day of the seventh month, when you have gathered in the fruits of the land, you shall keep the festival of Adonai seven days: on the first day shall be a solemn rest, and on the eighth day shall be a solemn rest.

40 Da a edi kan no, muntwitwa nnuaba mman a aba wɔ so, ne mmerɛnkɛnsono ne mman a nhaban wɔ so na momfa mmɔ asese na momma mo ani nnye wɔ mo Awurade Nyankopɔn anim nnanson.

You shall take on the first day the fruit of goodly trees, branches of palm trees, and boughs of thick trees, and willows of the brook; and you shall rejoice before Adonai your God seven days.

41 Ɛsɛ sɛ saa afe biara mu nnanson adidi mmara yi tena hɔ daa wɔ awo ntoatoaso nyinaa mu.

You shall keep it a feast to Adonai seven days in the year. It is a statute forever throughout all your generations. You shall keep it in the seventh month.

42 Saa nnanson no mu no, mo a moyɛ Israelfo mma no, ɛsɛ sɛ motena asese no ase.

You shall dwell in sukkot ·temporary tents· seven days. All who are native-born in Israel [God prevails] shall dwell in a sukkah ·temporary tent·,

43 Nkyerɛase a ɛwɔ mu ara ne sɛ, ɛkae Israelfo no fi awo ntoatoaso so kosi awo ntoatoaso so sɛ, me na migyee mo fii Misraim ma mobɛtenaa asese ase. Mene Awurade mo Nyankopɔn.’”

that your generations may know that I made the children of Israel [God prevails] to dwell in sukkot ·temporary tents·, when I brought them out of the land of Egypt [Abode of slavery]. I am Adonai your God.’”

44 Eyinom ne Awurade afahyɛ ahorow a wahyehyɛ a Mose ka kyerɛɛ Israelfo no. Enti Mose kyerɛɛ afahyɛ ahorow a Israelfo no bedi ama Awurade.

Moses [Drawn out] declared to the children of Israel [God prevails] the appointed feasts of Adonai.
