3 Mose 6
1 Na Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose se,
The Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
2 “Sɛ obi yɛ bɔne tia me, sɛ ebia, ɔbɛdaadaa ne yɔnko wɔ biribi a wɔde ahyɛ ne nsa anaa ade a wɔawia na wɔde abegyaw no no ho, anaasɛ osisi ne yɔnko,
The soul who will have sinned, and, despising the Lord, will have denied to his neighbor the deposit which he had entrusted to his safekeeping, or who will have extorted anything by force, or who will have made a false accusation,
3 anaa otu ahu na ɔka ntam san wɔ ho se dekode no nni ne nkyɛn a,
or who will have found a lost thing and then also withheld it by swearing falsely, or who will have done any other of the many things by which men usually sin:
4 sɛ obi yɛ bɔne na odi ho fɔ a, ɔbɛsan de ne akorɔnne no anaa ne tintimgye ade anaa nea wɔde maa no siei anaa agyapade a wɔde ahyɛ ne nsa, anaa ade a ayera no aba,
being convicted of the offense, he shall restore
5 biribiara a waka ho ntamhunu no nso, ɔbɛsan de ne nyinaa aba na ɔde ho mfɛntom ɔha mu nkyɛmu aduonu aka ho abrɛ onipa ko a ɛyɛ ne de no wɔ da a ɔrebɔ afɔdi ho afɔre no.
all that he wanted to obtain by fraud, the whole plus an additional fifth part, to the owner against whom he brought the damage.
6 Nʼafɔdi ho afɔrebɔde no sɛ ɔde odwennini a onni dɛm na ɔsom bo kɔma ɔsɔfo.
Then, on behalf of his sin, he shall offer an immaculate ram from the flock, and he shall give it to the priest, according to the estimation and measure of the offense.
7 Na ɔsɔfo no de no bɛyɛ mpata ama no wɔ Awurade anim na wɔde ne bɔne akyɛ no.”
And he shall pray for him in the sight of the Lord, and he shall be released from any one of those things that he did when he sinned.
8 Afei, Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose se,
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
9 “Fa saa mmara a ɛfa ɔhyew afɔre ho yi ma Aaron ne ne mmabarima. ‘Wobegyaw ɔhyew afɔrebɔde no wɔ ogya no so anadwo mu no nyinaa, na ɛsɛ sɛ afɔremuka gya no kɔ so dɛw.
Instruct Aaron and his sons: This is the law of a holocaust. It shall be burned upon the altar, all night until morning. The fire shall be from the same altar.
10 Ade kye a, ɔsɔfo no bɛhyɛ nʼasɔfotade hyerɛnhyerɛn wɔ ase na wahyɛ atadetam koro no ara bi nguguso na wakɔpra ɔhyew afɔre nsõ no de agu afɔremuka no nkyɛn.
The priest shall be vested with the tunic and the linen undergarments. And he shall take up the ashes of that which the devouring fire has consumed, and, placing them next to the altar,
11 Afei, ɔbɛsesa ne ntade no na wasoa nsõ no afi beae hɔ de akogu beae foforo a wɔatew hɔ no.
he shall strip off his former vestments, and being clothed with others, he shall carry them beyond the camp, and he shall cause them to be consumed, even to glowing embers, in a very clean place.
12 Saa bere yi nyinaa ɛsɛ sɛ ogya a ɛwɔ afɔremuka no so no dɛw. Ɛnsɛ sɛ edum. Anɔpa biara ɔsɔfo no de ogya foforo bɛhyɛ mu na ɔde da biara ɔhyew afɔre agu so, na wahyew srade a wɔde bɔ da biara asomdwoe afɔre no.
But the fire on the altar shall burn always, for the priest shall nourish it by placing wood under it each day in the morning. And, laying down the holocaust, he shall burn the fat of the peace offerings upon it.
13 Ɛsɛ sɛ bere biara ogya no kɔ so dɛw wɔ afɔremuka no so; ɛnsɛ sɛ edum.
This is the perpetual fire which shall never fail upon the altar.
14 “‘Atoko afɔre ho mmara nso ni: Aaron mmabarima begyina afɔremuka no anim na wɔde atoko afɔrebɔ no ama Awurade.
This is the law of the sacrifice and the libations, which the sons of Aaron shall offer in the sight of the Lord, and before the altar.
15 Ɔsɔfo no bɛsaw asikresiam a wɔayam no muhumuhu no ne nsa ma na ɔde ngo ne aduhuam afra ahyew no wɔ afɔremuka no so sɛ ehua a ɛsɔ Awurade ani.
The priest shall take a handful of fine wheat flour, which has been sprinkled with oil, and all the frankincense, which has been placed upon the flour, and he shall burn it upon the altar as a memorial of most sweet odor to the Lord.
16 Ɔsaw ne nsa ma wie a, nea ɛbɛka no yɛ Aaron ne ne mmabarima de a wobedi. Wobedi wɔ Ahyiae Ntamadan no adiwo hɔ a wɔremfa mmɔkaw mfra.
And the remaining portion of the flour, Aaron shall eat with his sons, without leaven. And he shall eat it in the holy place, in the atrium of the tabernacle.
17 Si so dua sɛ, sɛ wɔto a, wɔmmfa mmɔkaw mmfra mu. Mede saa ɔhyew afɔre a wɔbɔ maa me no bi ama asɔfo no. Esiane sɛ ne nyinaa yɛ bɔne ne afɔdi ho afɔrebɔ, nti ɛyɛ kronkron.
Yet for this reason, it shall not be leavened, because part of it is offered as an incense of the Lord. The Holy of holies shall it be, just as what is offered on behalf of sin and of transgression.
18 Aaron asefo mmarima ne asɔfo na wonni mfi awo ntoatoaso so nkosi awo ntoatoaso so. Nanso asɔfo no nko ara na wonni afɔrebɔde a wɔabɔ no ogya so ama Awurade no. Biribiara a ɛbɛka wɔn no bɛyɛ kronkron.’”
Only the males of the stock of Aaron shall eat it. This shall be an everlasting ordinance in your generations concerning the sacrifices of the Lord. All who will touch these shall be sanctified.
19 Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose se,
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
20 “Da a wɔbɛsra Aaron ne ne mmabarima ngo no, ɛsɛ sɛ wɔde asikresiam lita abien ne fa brɛ Awurade. Wɔde fa bɛba anɔpa na wɔde fa aba anwummere.
This is the oblation of Aaron and of his sons, which they must offer to the Lord in the day of their anointing. They shall offer a tenth part of an ephah of fine wheat flour as a perpetual sacrifice, half of it in the morning, and half of it in the evening.
21 Wɔde ngo bɛfra ato wɔ dade apampaa so. Ɛsɛ sɛ wɔto no yiye na wɔde ba sɛ ehua a ɛsɔ Awurade nʼani.
It shall be sprinkled with oil and fried in a frying pan. Then it shall be offered hot, as a most sweet odor to the Lord,
22 Ɔsɔfo a ofi Aaron mmabarima mu a wɔrehyɛ no sɔfo ma wasi nʼagya anan no de bɛma Awurade sɛnea wɔahyɛ ho mmara afebɔɔ sɛ wɔnhyew ne nyinaa no.
by the priest who by law succeeds his father. And it shall be entirely burned on the altar.
23 Ɛsɛ sɛ wɔhyew ɔsɔfo biara atoko afɔre a ɔbɛbɔ no nyinaa; ɛnsɛ sɛ wodi.”
For every sacrifice of the priest shall be consumed by fire; neither shall anyone eat from it.
24 Afei Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose se,
Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
25 “Ka kyerɛ Aaron ne ne mmabarima sɛ bɔne afɔrebɔ ho mmara ni: ‘Saa afɔrebɔde yi ho yɛ kronkron yiye enti ɛsɛ sɛ wokum no Awurade anim wɔ beae a wokum ɔhyew afɔrebɔde no.
Say to Aaron and his sons: This is the law of the victim for sin. In the place where the holocaust is offered, it shall be immolated in the sight of the Lord. It is the Holy of holies.
26 Ɛsɛ sɛ ɔsɔfo a ɔyɛ afɔrebɔ no ho adwuma no we afɔrebɔde no wɔ Ahyiae Ntamadan no adiwo hɔ.
The priest who offers it shall eat it in the holy place, in the atrium of the tabernacle.
27 Wɔn a wɔatew wɔn ho a wɔyɛ asɔfo nko ara na wɔwɔ ho kwan sɛ wɔde wɔn nsa ka nam no bi; na sɛ ɛba sɛ aboa no mogya bi pete wɔn ntade mu a, ɛsɛ sɛ wɔhoro ntade no wɔ beae a wɔatew ho hɔ.
Whatever will touch its flesh shall be sanctified. If a garment will be sprinkled with its blood, it shall be washed in a holy place.
28 Ɛsɛ sɛ wɔbɔ kuku a wɔnoaa nam no wɔ mu no; na sɛ ɛyɛ kɔbere nso a, ɛsɛ sɛ wotwiw mu, na wɔde nsu hohoro mu nyinaa yiye.
Then the earthen vessel, in which it was soaked, shall be broken. But if the vessel will be of brass, it shall be scoured and washed with water.
29 Ɔbarima biara a ɔfra asɔfo no mu no bedi afɔrebɔde no bi—wɔn nko ara—efisɛ ɛyɛ kronkron yiye.
Every male of priestly descent shall feed on its flesh, because it is the Holy of holies.
30 Sɛ wɔde bɔne ho afɔrebɔde no mogya no bi kɔ Ahyiae Ntamadan mu hɔ de kɔyɛ mpata wɔ kronkronbea hɔ a, ɔsɔfo biara renwe bi. Ɛsɛ sɛ wɔde ogya hyew aboa no nyinaa wɔ Awurade anim.
For the victim that is slain for sin, whose blood is carried into the tabernacle of the testimony, for expiation in the Sanctuary, shall not be eaten, but it shall be consumed by fire.
