3 Mose 4
1 Afei Awurade hyɛɛ mmara foforo maa Mose sɛ:
And the LORD spake 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 a soul shall sin through ignorance against any of the commandments of the LORD [concerning things] which ought not to be done, and shall do against any 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 priest that is anointed do sin according to the sin of the people; then let him bring 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 tabernacle of the congregation before the LORD; and shall lay his hand upon the bullock’s head, and kill the bullock before the LORD.
5 Ɔsɔfo no de aboa no mogya bɛkɔ Ahyiae Ntamadan no mu.
And the priest that is anointed shall take of the bullock’s blood, and bring it to the tabernacle of the congregation:
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, before the vail 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 [some] of the blood upon the horns of the altar of sweet incense before the LORD, which [is] in the tabernacle of the congregation; and shall pour all the blood of the bullock at the bottom of the altar of the burnt offering, which [is at] the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.
8 Afei ɔbɛtetew srade a ɛwɔ ne nsono no ho nyinaa,
And he shall take off from it all the fat of the bullock for the sin offering; 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 flanks, and the caul above the liver, with the kidneys, it shall he take away,
10 na wahyew no wɔ ɔhyew afɔremuka no so te sɛ nantwinini anaa nantwibere a wɔde no bɔ asomdwoe afɔre no pɛ.
As it was taken off from the bullock of the sacrifice of peace offerings: and the priest shall burn them upon the altar of the 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,
And the skin of the bullock, and all his flesh, with his head, and with his legs, and his inwards, and his 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 him on the wood with fire: where the ashes are poured out shall he 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 sin through ignorance, and the thing be hid from the eyes of the assembly, and they have done [somewhat against] any of the commandments of the LORD [concerning things] which should not 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, which they have sinned against it, is known, then the congregation shall offer a young bullock for the sin, and bring him before the tabernacle of the congregation.
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 priest that is anointed shall bring of the bullock’s blood to the tabernacle of the congregation:
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 some] of the blood, and sprinkle [it] seven times before the LORD, [even] before the vail.
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 [some] of the blood upon the horns of the altar which [is] before the LORD, that [is] in the tabernacle of the congregation, and shall pour out all the blood at the bottom of the altar of the burnt offering, which [is at] the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.
19 Ɛsɛ sɛ woyi na wɔhyew srade a ɛwɔ aboa no mu no nyinaa wɔ afɔremuka no so.
And he shall take all his fat from him, and burn [it] 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.
And he shall do with the bullock as he did with the bullock for a sin offering, so shall he do with this: and the priest shall make an atonement for them, and it shall be forgiven them.
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 him as he burned the first bullock: it [is] a sin offering for the congregation.
22 “‘Sɛ mpanyimfo no bi yɛ bɔne a onnim sɛ wafom Onyankopɔn mmara no baako
When a ruler hath sinned, and done [somewhat] through ignorance [against] any of the commandments of the LORD his God [concerning things] which should not 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.
Or if his sin, wherein he hath sinned, come to his knowledge; he shall bring his offering, a kid of the goats, 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 shall pour out his blood at the bottom 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 he shall burn all his fat upon the altar, as the fat of the sacrifice of peace offerings: and the priest shall make an atonement for him as concerning his sin, and it shall be forgiven him.
27 “‘Sɛ apapahwekwa bi yɛ bɔne a onnim sɛ wafom a, odi ho fɔ.
And if any one of the common people sin through ignorance, while he doeth [somewhat against] any of the commandments of the LORD [concerning things] which ought 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.
Or if his sin, which he hath sinned, come to his knowledge: then he shall bring his offering, a kid of the goats, 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 slay the sin offering in 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.
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 shall pour out all the blood thereof 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.
And he shall take away all the fat thereof, as the fat is taken away from off the sacrifice of peace offerings; and the priest shall burn [it] upon the altar for a sweet savour unto the LORD; and the priest shall make an atonement for him, and it shall be forgiven him.
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 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 slay 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 shall pour out all the blood thereof 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.
And he shall take away all the fat thereof, as the fat of the lamb is taken away from the sacrifice of the peace offerings; and the priest shall burn them upon the altar, according to the offerings made by fire unto the LORD: and the priest shall make an atonement for his sin that he hath committed, and it shall be forgiven him.
