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.

“‘But if he can’t afford two turtledoves, or two young pigeons, then he shall bring his offering for that in which he has sinned ·deviated (from the standard goal)·, one tenth of an ephah [an omer; 2.3 q; 2.2 L] of fine flour for a habitual sin ·miss the mark· offering. He shall put no oil on it, and he shall not put any frankincense on it, for it is a habitual sin ·miss the mark· 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 shall bring it to the priest, and the priest shall take his handful of it as the memorial portion, and burn it on the altar, on the offerings of Adonai made by fire. It is a habitual sin ·miss the mark· 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.’”
The priest shall make atonement for him concerning his habitual sin ·missing the mark· that he has sinned ·deviated (from the standard goal)· in any of these things, and he will be forgiven; and the rest shall be the priest’s, as the meal offering.’”
14 Awurade hyɛɛ mmara maa Mose se,
Adonai spoke to Moses [Drawn out], 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 anyone commits a violation, and sins ·errs (the standard goal)· that is an unintentional mistake sin ·error·, in the holy things of Adonai; then he shall bring his fault incurring guilt offering to Adonai, a ram without defect from the flock, according to your estimation in silver by shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary (the shekel is 0.4 oz; 11.34 g), for a fault incurring 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.
He shall make restitution for that sin ·err (from the standard goal)· which he has done wrong in the holy thing, and shall add a fifth part to it, and give it to the priest; and the priest shall make atonement for him with the ram of the fault incurring 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 anyone sins ·errs (the standard goal)· against any the mitzvot ·instructions· of Adonai concerning things which should not be done, though he didn’t know it, yet he is condemned guilty, and shall bear his depravity (moral evil).
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 shall bring a ram without defect from of the flock, according to your estimation, for a fault incurring guilt offering, to the priest; and the priest shall make atonement for him concerning the unintentional mistake sin ·error· in which he deviated in mental error, unintentional sin ·error·, and he will be forgiven.
