3 Mose 5

1 “‘Obiara a ɔnka bɔne bi a onim ho biribi ho hwee no di ho fɔ.

And if any person sin, because he heareth the voice of adjuration, and he is a witness, since he hath either seen or knoweth something; if he do not tell it, and thus bear his 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 there be a person who toucheth any unclean thing, whether it be the carcass of an unclean beast, or the carcass of unclean cattle, or the carcass of an unclean creeping thing, and it escape his recollection; but [he becometh aware that] he is unclean, and hath [thus] incurred guilt;

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 touch the uncleanness of man, whatsoever uncleanness of the kind it be by which he can be defiled, and it escape his recollection; but he becometh aware of it, and [that] he hath [thus] incurred guilt;

4 anaa sɛ obi annwene ho na ɔka ntam sɛ ɔbɛyɛ biribi a eye anaa ennye na akyiri no ohu nʼafɔdi;

Or if any person swear, by pronouncing with his lips to do evil, or to do good [to himself], in whatsoever it be that a man pronounceth with an oath, and it escape his recollection; but he becometh aware of it that he hath incurred guilt by any one of these:

5 sɛ obi ani ba ne ho so wɔ eyinom biara mu a, ɛsɛ sɛ ɔpae mu ka ne bɔne a wayɛ.

And it shall be, if he have incurred guilt by any one of these [things, ] that he shall confess that concerning which he hath sinned;

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 shall bring his trespass-offering unto the Lord for his sin which he hath committed, a female from the flocks, a sheep or a goat, for a sin-offering; and the priest shall make an 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.

And if his means be not sufficient for a sheep, then shall he bring as his offering [for the trespass] which he hath committed, two turtle-doves, or two young pigeons, unto the Lord; one for a sin-offering, and the other for 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,

And he shall bring them unto the priest, and he shall offer that which is for the sin-offering first, and pinch off its head by the back of its neck, but shall not divide it asunder:

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.

And he shall sprinkle some of the blood of the sin-offering upon the wall of the altar: and the rest of the blood shall be wrung out at the bottom 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 second shall he prepare as a burnt-offering, according to the prescribed order; and the priest shall make an atonement for him for his sin which he hath committed, and it shall be forgiven unto him.

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 his means be not sufficient for two turtle-doves, or two young pigeons, then shall he bring as his offering for that which he hath sinned, the tenth part of an ephah of fine flour for a sin-offering; he shall not put upon it any oil, nor shall he put thereupon any frankincense; for 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.

And he shall bring it to the priest; and the priest shall take from it his handful, as its memorial, and burn it on the altar, upon the fire-offerings of 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.’”

And the priest shall make an atonement for him concerning his sin that he hath committed in one of these, and it shall be forgiven unto him; and it shall belong to the priest, as the meat-offering.

14 Awurade hyɛɛ mmara maa Mose se,

And the Lord spoke unto Moses, saying,

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 any person commit a trespass, and sin through ignorance, against the holy things of the Lord: then shall he bring as his trespass-offering unto the Lord a ram without blemish out of the flocks, in value of two shekels of silver, after the shekel of the sanctuary, for a trespass-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.

And that, in which he hath sinned against the holy thing, shall he pay, and shall add its fifth part thereto, and give it unto the priest; and the priest shall make an atonement for him with the ram of the trespass-offering, and it shall be forgiven unto him.

17 “Sɛ obi anhyɛ da na obu Awurade mmara no bi so a, odi fɔ nti ɛsɛ sɛ otua afɔbude a Mose bɛhyɛ no.

And if any person sin, and commit any one of the prohibitions of the Lord which ought not to be done; and he know not whether he have incurred guilt, and so bear his iniquity:

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.

Then shall he bring a ram without blemish out of the flocks, of the usual value, for a trespass-offering, unto the priest: and the priest shall make an atonement for him concerning his sin of ignorance, wherein he hath erred and knoweth it not, and it shall be forgiven unto him.

19 Ɛsɛ sɛ wɔbɔ saa afɔre no sɛ afɔdi afɔre, efisɛ odi fɔ pefee wɔ Awurade anim.”

It is a trespass-offering: he hath in trespassing trespassed against the Lord.
