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,
Whosoever shall sin, and despising the Lord, shall deny to his neighbour the thing delivered to his keeping, which was committed to his trust; or shall by force extort any thing, or commit oppression;
3 anaa otu ahu na ɔka ntam san wɔ ho se dekode no nni ne nkyɛn a,
Or shall find a thing lost, and denying it, shall also swear falsely, or shall do any other of the many things, wherein men are wont to 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 offence, 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 would have gotten by fraud, in the principal, and the fifth part besides to the owner, whom he wronged.
6 Nʼafɔdi ho afɔrebɔde no sɛ ɔde odwennini a onni dɛm na ɔsom bo kɔma ɔsɔfo.
Moreover for his sin he shall offer a ram without blemish out of the flock, and shall give it to the priest, according to the estimation and measure of the offence:
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 before the Lord, and he shall have forgiveness for every thing in doing of which he hath 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.
Command Aaron and his sons: This is the law of a holocaust: It shall be burnt upon the altar, all night until morning: the fire shall be of 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 tunick and the linen breeches, and he shall take up the ashes of that which the devouring fire hath burnt, and putting them beside the altar,
11 Afei, ɔbɛsesa ne ntade no na wasoa nsõ no afi beae hɔ de akogu beae foforo a wɔatew hɔ no.
Shall put off his former vestments, and being clothed with others, shall carry them forth without the camp, and shall cause them to be consumed to dust 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.
And the fire on the altar shall always burn, and the priest shall feed it, putting wood on it every day in the morning, and laying on the holocaust, shall burn thereupon the fat of the peace offerings.
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 go out on 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 libations, which the children of Aaron shall offer before 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 the flour that is tempered with oil, and all the frankincense that is put upon the flour: and he shall burn it on the altar for a memorial of most sweet odour 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 part of the flour that is left, Aaron and his sons shall eat, without leaven: and he shall eat it in the holy place of the court 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.
And therefore it shall not be leavened, because part thereof is offered for the burnt sacrifice of the Lord. It shall be most holy, as that which is offered for sin and for trespass.
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.’”
The males only of the race of Aaron shall eat it. It shall be an ordinance everlasting in your generations concerning the sacrifices of the Lord: Every one that toucheth them 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 the tenth part of an ephi of flour for 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 tempered with oil, and shall be fried in a fryingpan.
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.
And the priest that rightfully succeedeth his father, shall offer it hot, for a most sweet odour to the Lord, and it shall be wholly burnt 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 with fire, neither shall any man eat thereof.
24 Afei Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose se,
And 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 before the Lord. It is 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 that offereth it, shall eat it in a holy place, in the court 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.
Whatsoever shall touch the flesh thereof, shall be sanctified. If a garment be sprinkled with the blood thereof, 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.
And the earthen vessel, wherein it was sodden, shall be broken, but if the vessel 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 the priestly race shall eat of the flesh thereof, because it is 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, the blood of which is carried into the tabernacle of the testimony to make atonement in the sanctuary, shall not be eaten, but shall be burnt with fire.
