3 Mose 24

1 Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose se,

And the Lord spake vnto Moses, saying,

2 “Ka kyerɛ Israelfo na wɔmmrɛ wo ngo kronkron na fa sɔ kanea sɛnea ɛrennum da.

Commande the children of Israel that they bring vnto thee pure oyle oliue beaten, for the light, to cause ye lampes to burne continually.

3 Wɔ kaneadua a wɔde sikakɔkɔɔ ayɛ a esi ntwamtam a etwa kronkron mu kronkron no akyi no. Efi anwummere kosi anɔpa biara, Aaron bɛhwɛ akanea a ɛwɔ Awurade anim no so. Eyi bɛyɛ ayɛde a ɛbɛtena hɔ daa wɔ awo ntoatoaso nyinaa mu.

Without the vaile of the Testimonie, in the Tabernacle of the Congregation, shall Aaron dresse them, both euen and morning before the Lord alwayes: this shalbe a lawe for euer through your generations.

4 Ɛsɛ sɛ wɔhwɛ akanea a esisi sikakɔkɔɔ kaneadua so wɔ Awurade anim no so bere biara.

He shall dresse the lampes vpon the pure Candlesticke before the Lord perpetually.

5 “Momfa asikresiam muhumuhu nto brodo amuamu dumien a mua biara mode esiam lita anan ne fa na ɛbɛto.

Also thou shalt take fine floure, and bake twelue cakes thereof: two tenth deales shalbe in one cake.

6 Monhyehyɛ no ntaataaso abien, a asia wɔ ntaataaso baako biara mu wɔ sikakɔkɔɔ kann pon no so wɔ Awurade anim.

And thou shalt set them in two rowes, six in a rowe vpon the pure table before the Lord.

7 Mode aduhuam pa begu kyerɛpɛn biara ho de asi brodo no anan mu ayɛ afɔrebɔde a wɔhyew wɔ ogya so ma Awurade.

Thou shalt also put pure incense vpon the rowes, that in steade of the bread it may bee for a remembrance, and an offering made by fire to the Lord.

8 Ɛsɛ sɛ wɔde saa brodo yi sisi Awurade anim Homeda biara; ɛbɛyɛ apam a enni awiei ama Israelfo.

Euery Sabbath hee shall put them in rowes before the Lord euermore, receiuing them of the children of Israel for an euerlasting couenant.

9 Brodo yi yɛ Aaron ne ne mmabarima de, na ɛsɛ sɛ wodi wɔ kronkronbea hɔ, efisɛ ɛyɛ kronkron pa ara wɔ wɔn kyɛfa a ɛwɔ afɔrebɔde a wɔhyew ma Awurade no mu.”

And the bread shalbe Aarons and his sonnes, and they shall eate it in the holie place: for it is most holie vnto him of the offrings of the Lord made by fire by a perpetuall ordinance.

10 Da bi, aberante bi a ne na yɛ Israelni na nʼagya nso yɛ Misraimni ne Israelfo no baako nyaa ntɔkwaw wɔ wɔn atenae.

And there went out among the children of Israel the sonne of an Israelitish woman, whose father was an Egyptian: and this sonne of the Israelitish woman, and a man of Israel stroue together in the hoste.

11 Ntɔkwaw no mu no, Israelni babarima no domee Onyankopɔn enti wɔde no baa Mose nkyɛn sɛ wommu no atɛn. Na ne na din de Selomit a ɔyɛ Dibri a ofi Dan abusua mu no babea.

So the Israelitish womans sonne blasphemed the name of the Lord, and cursed, and they brought him vnto Moses (his mothers name also was Shelomith, the daughter of Dibri, of the tribe of Dan)

12 Wɔde no too afiase twɛn Awurade akwankyerɛ.

And they put him in warde, till he tolde them the minde of the Lord.

13 Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose se,

Then the Lord spake vnto Moses, saying,

14 “Fa obusuyɛni no fi atenae ha kɔ na kɔka kyerɛ wɔn a wɔtee asɛm a ɔkae no nyinaa na wɔmfa wɔn nsa ngu nʼapampam; afei nnipa no nyinaa nsiw no abo nkum no.

Bring the blasphemer without the hoste, and let all that heard him, put their handes vpon his head, and let all the Congregation stone him.

15 Ka kyerɛ Israelfo no se, ‘Obiara a ɔbɛdome Onyankopɔn no, ɛsɛ sɛ onya ho asotwe:

And thou shalt speake vnto the children of Israel, saying, Whosoeuer curseth his God, shall beare his sinne.

16 obiara a ogu Awurade din ho fi no, ɛsɛ sɛ wokum no. Ɛsɛ sɛ dɔm no nyinaa siw no abo. Ɔhɔho anaa Israelni biara a obegu Awurade din ho fi no, ɛsɛ sɛ wokum no.

And he that blasphemeth the name of the Lord, shalbe put to death: all the Congregation shall stone him to death: aswell the stranger, as he that is borne in the lande: when he blasphemeth the name of the Lord, let him beslaine.

17 “‘Obiara a okum ne yɔnko nipa no, ɛsɛ sɛ wokum no.

He also that killeth any man, he shall be put to death.

18 Obiara a okum aboa bi a ɛnyɛ ne dea no, ɛsɛ sɛ ɔhyɛ anan mu.

And he that killeth a beast, he shall restore it, beast for beast.

19 Sɛ obi pira ne yɔnko a, ɔyɔnko no nso bepira no bi saa ara.

Also if a man cause any blemish in his neighbour: as he hath done, so shall it be done to him.

20 Dompe mu bu nsi dompe mu bu anan mu; ani nsi ani anan mu; ɛse nsi ɛse anan mu. Sɛnea obi pira ɔfoforo, no saa ara na wompira ɔno nso.

Breache for breach, eye for eye, tooth for tooth: such a blemish as he hath made in any, such shalbe repayed to him.

21 Obiara a obekum aboa bi no, ɛsɛ sɛ ɔhyɛ anan mu; nanso sɛ obi kum onipa a, ɛsɛ sɛ wokum no bi.

And he that killeth a beast shall restore it: but he that killeth a man shall be slaine.

22 Mmara koro no ara wɔ hɔ ma ɔhɔho ne kuroni. Mene Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn.’”

Ye shall haue one lawe: it shalbe aswel for the stranger as for one borne in the countrey: for I am the Lord your God.

23 Enti Mose kasa kyerɛɛ Israelfo no, na woyii obusuyɛni no fii atenae hɔ kosiw no abo. Israelfo no yɛɛ sɛnea Awurade hyɛɛ Mose no.

Then Moses tolde the children of Israel, and they brought the blasphemer out of the hoste, and stoned him with stones: so the children of Israel did as the Lord had commanded Moses.
