3 Mose 24
1 Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose se,
And the Lord spoke unto Moses, saying,
2 “Ka kyerɛ Israelfo na wɔmmrɛ wo ngo kronkron na fa sɔ kanea sɛnea ɛrennum da.
Command the children of Israel, that they bring unto thee pure beaten olive-oil, for the lighting, to cause the lamp to burn 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 vail of the testimony, in the tabernacle of the congregation, shall Aaron put it in order [for] from evening unto morning before the Lord continually; as a statute for ever in your generations.
4 Ɛsɛ sɛ wɔhwɛ akanea a esisi sikakɔkɔɔ kaneadua so wɔ Awurade anim no so bere biara.
Upon the pure candlestick shall be put in order the lamps, before the Lord, continually.
5 “Momfa asikresiam muhumuhu nto brodo amuamu dumien a mua biara mode esiam lita anan ne fa na ɛbɛto.
And thou shalt take fine flour, and bake thereof twelve cakes: of two tenth parts shall each one cake be.
6 Monhyehyɛ no ntaataaso abien, a asia wɔ ntaataaso baako biara mu wɔ sikakɔkɔɔ kann pon no so wɔ Awurade anim.
And thou shalt place them in two rows, six in a row, upon 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.
And thou shalt put upon each row pure frankincense, that it may be unto the bread for a memorial, as a fire-offering unto the Lord.
8 Ɛsɛ sɛ wɔde saa brodo yi sisi Awurade anim Homeda biara; ɛbɛyɛ apam a enni awiei ama Israelfo.
On every and each sabbath day shall he place it in order before the Lord continually, [obtained] from the children of Israel as an everlasting covenant.
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 it shall belong to Aaron and to his sons; and they shall eat it in a holy place; for it is most holy unto him, from the fire-offerings of the Lord, as a perpetual fixed portion.
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 forth a son of an Israelitish woman, but who was the son of an Egyptian man, among the children of Israel; and there quarrelled together in the camp this son of the Israelitish woman and an Israelitish man.
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.
And the son of the Israelitish woman pronounced the [holy] Name, and blasphemed; and they brought him unto Moses: [and his mother's name was Shelomith, the daughter of Dibri, of the tribe of Dan; ]
12 Wɔde no too afiase twɛn Awurade akwankyerɛ.
And they placed him in ward, until the decision of the Lord could be explained to them.
13 Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose se,
And the Lord spoke unto 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.
Lead forth the blasphemer to without the camp; and all that have heard him shall lay their hands upon his head; and all the congregation shall stone him.
15 Ka kyerɛ Israelfo no se, ‘Obiara a ɔbɛdome Onyankopɔn no, ɛsɛ sɛ onya ho asotwe:
And unto the children of Israel shalt thou speak, saying, Whatsoever man that blasphemeth his God shall bear his sin.
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.
But he that pronounced the name of the Lord [with blasphemy] shall be put to death, all the congregation shall stone him; be he a stranger, or be he one that is born in the land, when he pronounceth the [holy] Name [with blasphemy, ] he shall be put to death.
17 “‘Obiara a okum ne yɔnko nipa no, ɛsɛ sɛ wokum no.
And he that taketh the life of any man shall surely be put to death.
18 Obiara a okum aboa bi a ɛnyɛ ne dea no, ɛsɛ sɛ ɔhyɛ anan mu.
And he that taketh the life of a beast shall make it good: beast for beast.
19 Sɛ obi pira ne yɔnko a, ɔyɔnko no nso bepira no bi saa ara.
And if a man cause a bodily defect in his neighbor, as he hath done, so shall 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.
Breach for breach, eye for eye, tooth for tooth: in the manner as he hath caused a bodily defect in a man, so shall it be done 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 make restitution for it; and he that killeth a man, shall be put to death.
22 Mmara koro no ara wɔ hɔ ma ɔhɔho ne kuroni. Mene Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn.’”
One manner of judicial law shall ye have, the stranger shall be equal with one of your own country; 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.
And Moses spoke to the children of Israel; and they led forth the blasphemer to without the camp, and they stoned him with stones; and the children of Israel did as the Lord had commanded Moses.
