3 Mose 4
1 Afei Awurade hyɛɛ mmara foforo maa Mose sɛ:
The Lord told Moses,
2 “Ka kyerɛ Israelfo se saa mmara yi na ɛwɔ hɔ ma obiara a wanhyɛ da na obebu me mmara no bi so.
“Tell the Israelites that these are the rules to handle cases of those who sin unintentionally against any of the Lord's commandments and do what is not permitted.
3 “‘Sɛ ɔsɔfo bi anhyɛ da na ɔfom mmara bi na ɛnam so de afɔbu ba nnipa no so a, ɛsɛ sɛ ɔde nantwinini ba a onnii dɛm bɔ bɔne ho afɔre de ma Awurade.
If it is the high priest who sins and brings guilt on everyone, he must present to the Lord a young bull without defects as a sin offering for his sin.
4 Ɛsɛ sɛ ɔde aboa no ba Ahyiae Ntamadan no pon ano na ɔde ne nsa gu nʼapampam na okum no wɔ hɔ wɔ Awurade anim.
He must take the bull to the entrance of the Tent of Meeting before the Lord, put his hand on its head and kill it before the Lord.
5 Ɔsɔfo no de aboa no mogya bɛkɔ Ahyiae Ntamadan no mu.
Then the high priest shall take some of the bull's blood into the Tent of Meeting.
6 Ɔde ne nsateaa baako bɛbɔ mogya no mu apete mpɛn ason wɔ Awurade anim wɔ ntama a ɛsɛn kronkron mu kronkron no anim.
The high priest shall dip his finger in the blood and sprinkle some of it seven times before the Lord in front of the veil of the sanctuary.
7 Afei, ɔsɔfo no de mogya no bi begu aduhuam no tumpan a esi afɔremuka no so no wɔ Awurade anim wɔ Ahyiae Ntamadan no mu; mogya no a ɛbɛka no, wobehwie agu afɔremuka no ase de abɔ ɔhyew afɔre wɔ Ahyiae Ntamadan no kwan ano.
The priest shall put some of the blood on the horns of the altar of aromatic incense that stands before the Lord in the Tent of Meeting. The rest of the bull's blood he is to pour out at the bottom of the altar of burnt offering at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting.
8 Afei ɔbɛtetew srade a ɛwɔ ne nsono no ho nyinaa,
Then he shall remove all the fat from the bull of the sin offering: all the fat that covers the insides,
9 ne asaabo abien no ne sisia srade ne ne bɔnwoma kotoku,
both kidneys with the fat on them by the loins, and the best part of the liver, which he is to remove together with the kidneys
10 na wahyew no wɔ ɔhyew afɔremuka no so te sɛ nantwinini anaa nantwibere a wɔde no bɔ asomdwoe afɔre no pɛ.
in the same way as the fat is removed from the bull of the peace offering. Then the priest shall then burn this on the altar of burnt offering.
11 Nanso nantwi ba no ho nneɛma a ɛbɛka a ɛyɛ ne nwoma, ne nam, ne ti, ne nan, nʼayamde, ne ne nsono no de,
But the skin of the bull, all its flesh, head, legs, insides and waste—
12 wɔmfa nkɔ afahyɛbea bi a ɛhɔ tew wɔ akyiri baabi a wɔde nsõ fi afɔremuka no so kɔ hɔ kɔhyew no nnyansin so no.
all the rest of it—he has to take outside the camp to a place that is ceremonially clean, where the ashes are dumped, and he must burn it on a wood fire there on the ash heap.
13 “‘Sɛ Israelfo nyinaa yɛ bɔne a etia Awurade, na sɛ ɛnyɛ ɔboayɛ a, nnipa no nyinaa bedi ho fɔ.
If the whole Israelite community goes astray unintentionally, and even though they are unaware of doing what is not permitted by any of the Lord's commandments, they are all still guilty.
14 Na sɛ wohu wɔn bɔne a, wɔde nantwi ba bɛba abɛbɔ bɔne ho afɔre wɔ Ahyiae Ntamadan no mu.
When they realize their sin, then they must bring a young bull as a sin offering and present it before the Tent of Meeting.
15 Sɛ wɔrebɔ saa afɔre no a, ɔman no mu mpanyimfo de wɔn nsa begu aboa no apampam na wɔakum no wɔ Awurade anim.
The elders of Israel are to put their hands on its head and kill it before the Lord.
16 Na ɔsɔfo no de ne mogya aba Ahyiae Ntamadan no mu,
Then the high priest shall take some of the bull's blood into the Tent of Meeting.
17 na ɔde ne nsateaa baako abɔ mogya no mu apete mpɛn ason wɔ Awurade ne ntama a etwa ɔdan no mu no anim.
He shall dip his finger in the blood and sprinkle it seven times before the Lord in front of the veil.
18 Ɔde mogya begu mmɛn a etuatua afɔremuka no ho no so wɔ Ahyiae Ntamadan no mu wɔ Awurade anim. Afei obehwie mogya a aka wɔ ɔhyew afɔre no afɔremuka no ase no agu wɔ Ahyiae Ntamadan no kwan ano.
He shall put some of the blood on the horns of the altar that stands before the Lord in the Tent of Meeting. Then he is to pour out the rest of the bull's blood at the bottom of the altar of burnt offering at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting.
19 Ɛsɛ sɛ woyi na wɔhyew srade a ɛwɔ aboa no mu no nyinaa wɔ afɔremuka no so.
Then he shall remove all the fat from the bull and burn it on the altar.
20 Ɔbɛfa ɔkwan a wɔfa so bɔ bɔne ho afɔre no so pɛpɛɛpɛ. Eyi bɛma ɔsɔfo no abɛyɛ mpata ama ɔman no, na wɔde obiara bɔne bɛkyɛ no.
He shall offer this bull in the same way he did for the sin offering. This is how the priest will make them right, and they will be forgiven.
21 Afei asɔfo no bɛtwe nantwinini ba no de no akɔ beae foforo bi akɔhyew no wɔ hɔ te sɛnea ɔrebɔ ɔbaakofo bɔne ho afɔre no. Nanso eyi de, ɛyɛ ɔman mu no nyinaa afɔrebɔde.
Then he shall take the bull outside the camp and burn it, just as he burned the bull previously mentioned. It is the sin offering for the whole community.
22 “‘Sɛ mpanyimfo no bi yɛ bɔne a onnim sɛ wafom Onyankopɔn mmara no baako
If a leader sins unintentionally and does what is not permitted by any of the commandments of the Lord his God, he is guilty.
23 na wɔma no te ne ho ase a, ɛsɛ sɛ ɔde ɔpapo a ne ho nni dɛm ba sɛ nʼafɔrebɔde.
When he realizes his sin, he must bring a male goat without defects as his offering.
24 Ɔde ne nsa begu aboa no apampam na wakum no wɔ beae a wokum ɔhyew afɔre mmoa no de ama Awurade no. Eyi yɛ ne bɔne ho afɔrebɔde.
He must put his hand on the head of the goat and kill it at the place where the burnt offering is killed before the Lord. It is a sin offering.
25 Afei, ɔsɔfo no de ne nsateaa baako bɛbɔ afɔrebɔde mogya no mu na ɔde asra afɔremuka a wɔbɔ ɔhyew afɔre wɔ so no mmɛn no ho; na afei wɔahwie mogya no nkae agu afɔremuka no ase.
Then the priest is to take some of the blood of the sin offering with his finger and put it on the horns of the altar of burnt offering, and pour out the rest of the blood at the bottom of the altar.
26 Wɔbɛhyew srade no nyinaa wɔ afɔremuka no so te sɛ nea wɔhyew asomdwoe afɔre srade no ara pɛ; ɛkyerɛ sɛ, ɔsɔfo no nam saa afɔrebɔ yi so bɛpata ama ɔpanyin ko no wɔ ne bɔne no ho; na wɔde ne bɔne no bɛkyɛ no.
He shall burn all its fat on the altar like the fat of the peace offerings. In this way the priest will make the man's sin right, and he will be forgiven.
27 “‘Sɛ apapahwekwa bi yɛ bɔne a onnim sɛ wafom a, odi ho fɔ.
If any other Israelite sins unintentionally and does what is not permitted by any of the commandments of the Lord his God, he is guilty.
28 Nanso onya te ne ho ase ara pɛ a, ɛsɛ sɛ ɔde abirekyibere a ne ho nni dɛm ba ma wɔde pata ne bɔne no.
When he realizes his sin, he must bring a female goat without defects as his offering for that sin.
29 Ɔde no bɛba beae a wɔde mmoa a wɔde wɔn ba ma wokum wɔn de wɔn bɔ ɔhyew afɔre hɔ no, na ɔde ne nsa ato bɔne ho afɔrebɔde no apampam na wɔakum no.
He must put his hand on the head of the sin offering and kill it at the place at the place of the burnt offering.
30 Na ɔsɔfo no de mogya no bi asra ne nsateaa baako ho na ɔde asra ɔhyew afɔremuka mmɛn no ho. Afei, ɔsɔfo no behwie mogya no nkae no agu afɔremuka no ase.
Then the priest is to take some of its blood with his finger and put it on the horns of the altar of burnt offering, and pour out the rest of the blood at the bottom of the altar.
31 Wobeyi srade no nyinaa afi mu te sɛ nea wɔfa bɔ asomdwoe afɔre no ara. Na ɔsɔfo no bɛhyew no wɔ afɔremuka no so. Na Awurade ani bɛsɔ. Ɛkyerɛ sɛ, ɔsɔfo no nam saa afɔrebɔ yi so bɛpata ama saa onipa no na wɔde ne bɔne bɛkyɛ no.
He shall remove all its fat like the fat of the peace offerings and burn it on the altar and it will be to be accepted by the Lord. In this way the priest will make the man's sin right, and he will be forgiven.
32 “‘Na sɛ ɔpɛ sɛ ɔde oguamma bɛbɔ ne bɔne ho afɔre nso a, ɛsɛ sɛ ɔyɛ ɔbere a dɛm biara nni ne ho.
If he brings a lamb as a sin offering, he is to bring a female without defects.
33 Ɔde no bɛba beae a wɔde mmoa a wɔde wɔn ba ma wokum wɔn de wɔn bɔ ɔhyew afɔre hɔ no, na ɔde ne nsa ato bɔne ho afɔrebɔde no apampam na wakum no sɛ bɔne ho afɔrebɔde.
He must put his hand on the head of the sin offering and kill it as a sin offering at the place at the place where the burnt offering is killed.
34 Na ɔsɔfo no de mogya no bi asra ne nsateaa baako ho na ɔde asra ɔhyew afɔremuka mmɛn no ho. Na wahwie mogya no nkae no agu afɔremuka no ase.
Then the priest is to take some of its blood with his finger and put it on the horns of the altar of burnt offering, and pour out the rest of the blood at the bottom of the altar.
35 Wɔbɛyɛ srade no sɛnea wɔyɛ asomdwoe oguamma srade no. Ɔsɔfo no bɛhyew srade no wɔ afɔremuka no so te sɛ afɔre ahorow a wɔde ogya bɔ ma Awurade no ara pɛ. Ɔsɔfo no nam saa afɔrebɔ yi so bɛpata ama onipa ko no, na wɔde ne bɔne bɛkyɛ no.
He shall remove all its fat like the fat of the lamb is removed from the peace offerings and burn it on the altar and it will be to be accepted by the Lord. In this way the priest will make the man's sin right, and he will be forgiven.
