3 Mose 5
1 “‘Obiara a ɔnka bɔne bi a onim ho biribi ho hwee no di ho fɔ.
“If someone sins by failing to testify when he hears a public charge about something he has witnessed, whether he has seen it or learned of it, he shall bear the iniquity.
2 “‘Obiara a ɔde ne nsa ka ade bi a amanne kwan so no ɛho ntew, te sɛ aboa bi a ne ho ntew funu, sɛ ɔyɛ wuram aboa, sɛ ɔyɛ afieboa anaa aboa a ɔwea wɔ fam no, mpo sɛ onnim sɛ ne ho agu fi na akyiri no ogye nʼafɔdi to mu,
Or if a person touches anything unclean—whether the carcass of any unclean wild animal or livestock or crawling creature—even if he is unaware of it, he is unclean and guilty.
3 anaa sɛ obi anhyɛ da na ɔde ne nsa ka biribi a efi onipa mu a ɛho ntew na ɔte ne ho ase sɛ odi ho fɔ,
Or if he touches human uncleanness—anything by which one becomes unclean—even if he is unaware of it, when he realizes it, he is guilty.
4 anaa sɛ obi annwene ho na ɔka ntam sɛ ɔbɛyɛ biribi a eye anaa ennye na akyiri no ohu nʼafɔdi;
Or if someone swears thoughtlessly with his lips to do anything good or evil—in whatever matter a man may rashly pronounce an oath—even if he is unaware of it, when he realizes it, he is guilty in the matter.
5 sɛ obi ani ba ne ho so wɔ eyinom biara mu a, ɛsɛ sɛ ɔpae mu ka ne bɔne a wayɛ.
If someone incurs guilt in one of these ways, he must confess the sin he has committed,
6 Ɛsɛ sɛ ɔde oguammere anaa abirekyibere bɔ afɔre ma Awurade wɔ ne bɔne ho asotwe ho. Ɔsɔfo na ɔbɛbɔ onipa ko no bɔne no ho afɔre ama no. Ɔsɔfo no nam saa afɔrebɔ yi so bɛpata ama no.
and he must bring his guilt offering to the LORD for the sin he has committed: a female lamb or goat from the flock as a sin offering. And the priest will make atonement for him concerning his sin.
7 “‘Sɛ ɔyɛ ohiani a ɔrennya oguamma mfa mma Awurade a, ɔmfa nturukuku abien anaa mmorɔnomamma abien mmra sɛ ne bɔne ho afɔrebɔde. Nnomaa no mu baako bɛyɛ ne bɔne no afɔrebɔde na ɔbaako ayɛ ne hyew afɔrebɔde.
If, however, he cannot afford a lamb, he may bring to the LORD as restitution for his sin two turtledoves or two young pigeons—one as a sin offering and the other as a burnt offering.
8 Ɔde bɛma ɔsɔfo no na ɔde anomaa a odi kan no abɔ bɔne afɔre no. Obekyim aboa no kɔn nanso ɔrentew ne ti mfi so,
He is to bring them to the priest, who shall first present the one for the sin offering. He is to twist its head at the front of its neck without severing it;
9 na wapete ne mogya no bi agu afɔremuka no ho. Mogya no nkae no, obehwie agu afɔremuka no ase. Eyi ne afɔrebɔ kwan a ɛpepa bɔne.
then he is to sprinkle some of the blood of the sin offering on the side of the altar, while the rest of the blood is drained out at the base of the altar. It is a sin offering.
10 Na ɔsɔfo no de anomaa a ɔto so abien no bɛbɔ ɔhyew afɔre sɛnea ɔbɔɔ afɔre a edi kan no ara pɛ. Ɔsɔfo no nam saa afɔrebɔ yi so bɛpata ama nea wayɛ bɔne no, na ɛnam so ama wɔde ne bɔne akyɛ no.
And the priest must prepare the second bird as a burnt offering according to the ordinance. In this way the priest will make atonement for him for the sin he has committed, and he will be forgiven.
11 “‘Sɛ ɔyɛ ohiani buruburoo a ɔrentumi mfa nturukuku anaa mmorɔnomamma mmɛbɔ ne bɔne ho afɔre a, ɔde asikresiam muhumuhu lita abien ne fa bɛba sɛ ne bɔne ho afɔrebɔde. Ɛnsɛ sɛ ɔde ɔsra ngo fra. Ɛnsɛ sɛ ɔde aduhuam nso gu so, efisɛ ɛyɛ bɔne afɔre.
But if he cannot afford two turtledoves or two young pigeons, he may bring a tenth of an ephah of fine flour as a sin offering. He must not put olive oil or frankincense on it, because it is a sin offering.
12 Ɔde bɛma ɔsɔfo no. Na ɔsɔfo no asaw ne nsa ma de asi ne nyinaa anan na wahyew no wɔ afɔremuka no so ama Awurade sɛ afɔrebɔde biara. Eyi bɛyɛ ne bɔne ho afɔrebɔ.
He is to bring it to the priest, who shall take a handful from it as a memorial portion and burn it on the altar atop the offerings made by fire to the LORD; it is a sin offering.
13 Sɛ ɛba saa a, ɔsɔfo no nam saa afɔrebɔ yi so bɛpata ama onipa no na wɔde ne bɔne no bɛkyɛ no. Asikresiam a aka no, wɔde bɛma ɔsɔfo no te sɛ nnɔbae afɔrebɔde no ara pɛ.’”
In this way the priest will make atonement for him for any of these sins he has committed, and he will be forgiven. The remainder will belong to the priest, like the grain offering.”
14 Awurade hyɛɛ mmara maa Mose se,
Then the LORD said to Moses,
15 “Sɛ obi anhyɛ da na ogu ade kronkron ho fi a, ɔde odwennini a ne ho nni dɛm a ɔfata sɛ mpata wɔ nʼafɔdi no ho bɛba abɛbɔ Awurade afɔre.
“If someone acts unfaithfully and sins unintentionally against any of the LORD’s holy things, he must bring his guilt offering to the LORD: an unblemished ram from the flock, of proper value in silver shekels according to the sanctuary shekel; it is a guilt offering.
16 Ade kronkron a nipa no guu ho fi no nso, ɔde foforo besi anan na watua dekode no bo ɔha mu nkyɛmu aduonu aka ho sɛ asotwe. Ɔde ne nyinaa bɛma ɔsɔfo na ɔde Odwennini no abɔ bɔne afɔre no na wɔde ne bɔne akyɛ no.
Regarding any holy thing he has harmed, he must make restitution by adding a fifth of its value to it and giving it to the priest, who will make atonement on his behalf with the ram as a guilt offering, and he will be forgiven.
17 “Sɛ obi anhyɛ da na obu Awurade mmara no bi so a, odi fɔ nti ɛsɛ sɛ otua afɔbude a Mose bɛhyɛ no.
If someone sins and violates any of the LORD’s commandments even though he was unaware, he is guilty and shall bear his punishment.
18 Ɛsɛ sɛ ɔde odwennini anaa ɔpapo a onni dɛm brɛ ɔsɔfo sɛ ne bɔne no ho afɔrebɔde. Na ɔsɔfo no de ayɛ mpata ama no wɔ bɔne biara a ɔyɛe a wanhyɛ da no ho, na wɔde ne bɔne bɛkyɛ no.
He is to bring to the priest an unblemished ram of proper value from the flock as a guilt offering. Then the priest will make atonement on his behalf for the wrong he has committed in ignorance, and he will be forgiven.
19 Ɛsɛ sɛ wɔbɔ saa afɔre no sɛ afɔdi afɔre, efisɛ odi fɔ pefee wɔ Awurade anim.”
It is a guilt offering; he was certainly guilty before the LORD.”
