3 Mose 4

1 Afei Awurade hyɛɛ mmara foforo maa Mose sɛ:

And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying:

2 “Ka kyerɛ Israelfo se saa mmara yi na ɛwɔ hɔ ma obiara a wanhyɛ da na obebu me mmara no bi so.

Speak unto the children of Israel, saying: If any one shall sin through error, in any of the things which the LORD hath commanded not to be done, and shall do any one of them:

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 the anointed priest shall sin so as to bring guilt on the people, then let him offer for his sin, which he hath sinned, a young bullock without blemish unto the LORD for a sin-offering.

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.

And he shall bring the bullock unto the door of the tent of meeting before the LORD; and he shall lay his hand upon the head of the bullock, and kill the bullock before the LORD.

5 Ɔsɔfo no de aboa no mogya bɛkɔ Ahyiae Ntamadan no mu.

And the anointed priest shall take of the blood of the bullock, and bring it to 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.

And the priest shall dip his finger in the blood, and sprinkle of the blood 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.

And the priest shall put of the blood upon the horns of the altar of sweet incense before the LORD, which is in the tent of meeting; and all the remaining blood of the bullock shall he pour out at the base of the altar of burnt-offering, which is at the door of the tent of meeting.

8 Afei ɔbɛtetew srade a ɛwɔ ne nsono no ho nyinaa,

And all the fat of the bullock of the sin-offering he shall take off from it; the fat that covereth the inwards, and all the fat that is upon the inwards,

9 ne asaabo abien no ne sisia srade ne ne bɔnwoma kotoku,

and the two kidneys, and the fat that is upon them, which is by the loins, and the lobe above the liver, which he shall take away by the kidneys,

10 na wahyew no wɔ ɔhyew afɔremuka no so te sɛ nantwinini anaa nantwibere a wɔde no bɔ asomdwoe afɔre no pɛ.

as it is taken off from the ox of the sacrifice of peace-offerings; and the priest shall make them smoke upon 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 bullock, and all its flesh, with its head, and with its legs, and its inwards, and its dung,

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.

even the whole bullock shall he carry forth without the camp unto a clean place, where the ashes are poured out, and burn it on wood with fire; where the ashes are poured out shall it be burnt.

13 “‘Sɛ Israelfo nyinaa yɛ bɔne a etia Awurade, na sɛ ɛnyɛ ɔboayɛ a, nnipa no nyinaa bedi ho fɔ.

And if the whole congregation of Israel shall err, the thing being hid from the eyes of the assembly, and do any of the things which the LORD hath commanded not to be done, and are guilty:

14 Na sɛ wohu wɔn bɔne a, wɔde nantwi ba bɛba abɛbɔ bɔne ho afɔre wɔ Ahyiae Ntamadan no mu.

when the sin wherein they have sinned is known, then the assembly shall offer a young bullock for a sin-offering, and bring 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.

And the elders of the congregation shall lay their hands upon the head of the bullock before the LORD; and the bullock shall be killed before the LORD.

16 Na ɔsɔfo no de ne mogya aba Ahyiae Ntamadan no mu,

And the anointed priest shall bring of the blood of the bullock to 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.

And the priest 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.

And he shall put of the blood upon the horns of the altar which is before the LORD, that is in the tent of meeting, and all the remaining blood shall he pour out at the base of the altar of burnt-offering, which is at the door of the tent of meeting.

19 Ɛsɛ sɛ woyi na wɔhyew srade a ɛwɔ aboa no mu no nyinaa wɔ afɔremuka no so.

And all the fat thereof shall he take off from it, and make it smoke upon 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.

Thus shall he do with the bullock; as he did with the bullock of the sin-offering, so shall he do with this; and the priest shall make atonement for them, and they shall 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.

And he shall carry forth the bullock without the camp, and burn it as he burned the first bullock; it is the sin-offering for the assembly.

22 “‘Sɛ mpanyimfo no bi yɛ bɔne a onnim sɛ wafom Onyankopɔn mmara no baako

When a ruler sinneth, and doeth through error any one of all the things which the LORD his God hath commanded not to be done, and is guilty:

23 na wɔma no te ne ho ase a, ɛsɛ sɛ ɔde ɔpapo a ne ho nni dɛm ba sɛ nʼafɔrebɔde.

if his sin, wherein he hath sinned, be known to him, he shall bring for his offering a goat, a male without blemish.

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.

And he shall lay his hand upon the head of the goat, and kill it in the place where they kill the burnt-offering 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.

And the priest shall take of the blood of the sin-offering with his finger, and put it upon the horns of the altar of burnt-offering, and the remaining blood thereof shall he pour out at the base of the altar of burnt-offering.

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.

And all the fat thereof shall he make smoke upon the altar, as the fat of the sacrifice of peace-offerings; and the priest shall make atonement for him as concerning his sin, and he shall be forgiven.

27 “‘Sɛ apapahwekwa bi yɛ bɔne a onnim sɛ wafom a, odi ho fɔ.

And if any one of the common people sin through error, in doing any of the things which the LORD hath commanded not to be done, and be 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.

if his sin, which he hath sinned, be known to him, then he shall bring for his offering a goat, a female without blemish, for his sin which he hath sinned.

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.

And he shall lay his hand upon the head of the sin-offering, and kill the sin-offering in the place of 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.

And the priest shall take of the blood thereof with his finger, and put it upon the horns of the altar of burnt-offering, and all the remaining blood thereof shall he pour out at the base 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.

And all the fat thereof shall he take away, as the fat is taken away from off the sacrifice of peace-offerings; and the priest shall make it smoke upon the altar for a sweet savour unto the LORD; and the priest shall make atonement for him, and he shall 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.

And if he bring a lamb as his offering for a sin-offering, he shall bring it a female without blemish.

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.

And he shall lay his hand upon the head of the sin-offering, and kill it for a sin-offering in the place where they kill the burnt-offering.

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.

And the priest shall take of the blood of the sin-offering with his finger, and put it upon the horns of the altar of burnt-offering, and all the remaining blood thereof shall he pour out at the base 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.

And all the fat thereof shall he take away, as the fat of the lamb is taken away from the sacrifice of peace-offerings; and the priest shall make them smoke on the altar, upon the offerings of the LORD made by fire; and the priest shall make atonement for him as touching his sin that he hath sinned, and he shall be forgiven.
