4 Mose 15
1 Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose se,
And the Lord spoke unto Moses, saying,
2 “Ka kyerɛ Israelfo no se, ‘Sɛ mokɔtena asase a mede rema mo no so
Speak unto the children of Israel and say unto them, When ye shall have come into the land of your habitations, which I give unto you,
3 na mopɛ sɛ mobɔ ɔhyew afɔre anaa afɔre biara a wɔbɔ a eyi hua a ɛsɔ Awurade ani a, ɛsɛ sɛ afɔrebɔde no yɛ aboa a ofi mo nguankuw anaa nantwibuw mu. Sɛ ɛyɛ ɔhyew afɔre, anaa afɔrebɔ a wɔde hyɛ bɔ, anaa afɔrebɔ a efi ɔpɛ mu, anaa afɔrebɔ a wɔbɔ no afirihyia mu nnapɔnna bi mu no a, ɛsɛ sɛ wɔde aduan afɔrebɔde ka ho.
And ye will prepare a fire-offering unto the Lord, a burnt-offering, or a sacrifice, in performing a pronounced vow, or as a freewill-offering, or on your solemn feasts, to prepare a sweet savor unto the Lord, of the herds of the flocks:
4 Nea ɔde ba no, ɛsɛ sɛ ɔde aduan afɔrebɔde a ɛyɛ esiam muhumuhu kilogram abien a wɔde ngo lita baako afra ka ho ma Awurade.
Then shall he that bringeth his offering unto the Lord, bring as a meat-offering a tenth part of fine flour mingled with the fourth of a hin of oil.
5 Oguamma biara a wɔde bɔ ɔhyew afɔre no, ɛsɛ sɛ wɔde nsa afɔrebɔde a ɛyɛ bobesa lita baako ka ho.
And wine for a drink-offering, the fourth of a hin, shalt thou prepare with the burnt-offering or sacrifice, for each one sheep.
6 “‘Sɛ odwennini na wode rebɔ afɔre a, fa esiam muhumuhu lita abiɛsa fra ngo lita baako,
But for a ram, shalt thou prepare as a meat-offering two tenth parts of fine flour mingled with the third of a hin of oil.
7 ne bobesa lita baako sɛ ɔnom afɔrebɔde. Mommɔ mma enyi hua a ɛbɛsɔ Awurade ani.
And wine for the drink-offering, the third of a hin, shalt thou bring, for a sweet savor unto the Lord.
8 “‘Sɛ wosiesie nantwi ba ma ɔhyew afɔre anaa afɔrebɔde de hyɛ bɔ sononko bi anaa ayɔnkofa asikresiam afɔre a worebɔ ama Awurade a,
And when thou preparest a bullock for a burnt-offering, or for a sacrifice, in performing a pronounced vow, or a peace-offering unto the Lord:
9 fa atoko afɔrebɔde a ɛyɛ asikresiam a wɔayam no muhumuhu lita asia ne fa ne ngo lita abien ka nantwi no ho
Then shall he bring with the bullock as a meat-offering, three tenth parts of fine flour mingled with half a hin of oil.
10 a bobesa lita abien ka ho sɛ ɔnom afɔrebɔde. Eyi bɛyɛ aduan afɔrebɔ a ebeyi hua asɔ Awurade ani.
And wine shalt thou bring for a drink-offering, half a hin, as a fire-offering of a sweet savor unto the Lord.
11 Ɛsɛ sɛ wɔfa saa kwan yi so siesie nantwi, odwennini, oguamma anaa abirekyi ba a wɔde bɔ afɔre no.
Thus shall it be done for each one bullock, or for each one ram, or for a lamb, be it of the sheep or of the goats.
12 Afɔrebɔde biara no, ɛsɛ sɛ mofa saa ɔkwan yi so siesie no.
According to the number that ye may prepare, so shall ye do to every one according to their number.
13 “‘Ɛsɛ sɛ Israelni biara fa saa ɔkwan yi so siesie ne aduan afɔrebɔ a eyi hua na ɛsɔ Awurade ani na ɔde ba.
All that are born in the country shall do these things after this manner, in offering a fire-offering of a sweet savor unto the Lord.
14 Na sɛ ahɔho a wɔte mo mu no pɛ sɛ wɔbɔ ɔhyew afɔre ma eyi hua a ɛsɔ Awurade ani a, ɛsɛ sɛ wɔfa saa ɔkwan koro no ara so wɔ awo ntoatoaso a ɛbɛba no nyinaa mu.
And if a stranger sojourn with you, or whosoever may be among you in your generations, and will make an offering made by fire, of a sweet savor unto the Lord: as ye do, so shall he do.
15 Mmara no wɔ hɔ ma mo nyinaa; ɔmanfo ne ahɔho; na ɛyɛ nokware a etim hɔ daa de kosi awo ntoatoaso a ɛbɛba no mu. Mo ne ahɔho nyinaa yɛ pɛ wɔ Awurade anim.
Congregation! one statute shall be for you, and for the stranger that sojourneth: a statute for ever in your generations; as ye are, so shall the stranger be before the Lord.
16 Mmara baako na ɛwɔ hɔ ma mo ne ahɔho a wɔtete mo mu no nyinaa.’”
One law and one code shall be for you, and for the stranger that sojourneth with you.
17 Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose se,
And the Lord spoke unto Moses, saying,
18 “Kasa kyerɛ Israelfo no se: ‘Sɛ mudu asase a mede mo rekɔ so no so
Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye come into the land whither I bring you:
19 na mudi asase no so aduan a, momfa bi mmɔ afɔre mma Awurade.
Then shall it be, that, when ye eat of the bread of the land, ye shall set aside a heave-offering unto the Lord.
20 Atoko a mobɛyam a edi kan no, momfa nto ɔfam nto nkyɛn sɛ akyɛde sɛnea moyɛ atoko otwakan no wɔ awiporowbea no.
As the first of your doughs shall ye set aside a cake for a heave-offering; like the heave-offering of the threshing-floor, so shall ye set this aside.
21 Awo ntoatoaso a ɛbɛba no nyinaa mu no, ɛsɛ sɛ mode saa afɔre a efi mo aduan a edi kan a moanya mu yi ma Awurade.
Of the first of your doughs shall ye give unto the Lord a heave-offering, in your generations.
22 “‘Sɛ mo, sɛ nnipakuw, anhyɛ da na mubu saa mmara a Awurade nam Mose so de ama mo yi so,
And if ye err, and do not observe all these commandments, which the Lord hath spoken unto Moses,
23 mmara ahorow a Awurade nam ne so de ama mo yi so, efi da a Awurade de maa mo de fa awo ntoatoaso a ɛbɛba no nyinaa mu,
All that the Lord hath commanded you by the hand of Moses, from the day that the Lord commanded [the same] and thenceforward, among your generations:
24 na sɛ wɔnam awerɛfiri so fom a nnipa no nyinaa nnim a, ɛsɛ sɛ ɔman no nyinaa de aduan afɔrebɔde ne ɔnom afɔrebɔde ne ɔpapo a wɔde no bɛbɔ bɔne ho afɔre ka ho.
Then shall it be, if, through inadvertence of the congregation, it was committed by ignorance, that all the congregation shall prepare one young bullock for a burnt-offering, for a sweet savor unto the Lord, with his meat-offering, and his drink-offering, according to the prescribed manner, and one he-goat for a sin-offering.
25 Na ɛsɛ sɛ ɔsɔfo no yɛ mpata ma Israelfo nyinaa na wɔde wɔn bɔne akyɛ wɔn; efisɛ, ɛyɛ mfomso, na wɔnam ɔhyew afɔrebɔ so abɔ afɔre wɔ Awurade anim a wɔn bɔne afɔrebɔde ka ho.
And the priest shall make an atonement for all the congregation of the children of Israel, and it shall be forgiven unto them; for it is [a sin of] ignorance; and they have brought their offering, a sacrifice made by fire unto the Lord, and their sin-offering before the Lord, for their [sin of] ignorance:
26 Wɔde nnipa no nyinaa a ahɔho a wɔte wɔn mu ka ho no bɔne bɛkyɛ wɔn, efisɛ ɔmanfo no nyinaa na wɔyɛɛ mfomso a wɔanhyɛ da; na wɔde akyɛ wɔn nyinaa.
And it shall be forgiven unto all the congregation of the children of Israel, and unto the stranger that sojourneth among them; for by all the people [was it done] in ignorance.
27 “‘Nanso sɛ onipa baako bi yɛ mfomso awerɛfiri mu a, ɛsɛ sɛ ɔde abirekyibere ba a wadi afe bɛbɔ bɔne ho afɔre.
And if any person sin through ignorance, then shall he bring a she-goat of the first year for a sin-offering.
28 Ɛsɛ sɛ ɔsɔfo no yɛ mpata ma nea ɔfom no wɔ Awurade anim na wɔde ne bɔne akyɛ no.
And the priest shall make an atonement for the person that hath erred, in his sinning through ignorance before the Lord; to make an atonement for him, that it may be forgiven unto him.
29 Saa mmara yi wɔ hɔ ma Israelfo ne ananafo a wɔte mo mu no nyinaa.
For the native born among the children of Israel, and for the stranger that sojourneth among them: —one law shall be for you, for him that acteth through ignorance.
30 “‘Na sɛ obi boa pa yɛ mfomso a, sɛ ɔyɛ Israelni anaa ɔnanani no, ogu Awurade din ho fi, enti ɛsɛ sɛ woyi no fi Israelfo no mu.
But the person that doth aught with a high hand, be he one born in the land, or a stranger, the same dishonoreth the Lord; and that person shall be cut off from among his people.
31 Mpɛn dodow a wabu Awurade asɛm animtiaa na wahyɛ da abu Awurade mmara so no, ɛsɛ sɛ woyi no fi Israelfo no mu; na ne bɔne gu ne ti so.’”
Because the word of the Lord hath he despised, and his commandment hath he broken; that person shall be cut off, his iniquity is upon him.
32 Bere a Israelfo no wɔ sare so no, wɔkyeree wɔn mu baako sɛ ɔrebubu mmabaa homeda.
And while the children of Israel were in the wilderness, they found a man gathering sticks upon the sabbath-day.
33 Wɔn a wɔkyeree no no de no kɔɔ Mose ne Aaron ne atemmufo no anim,
And they that found him gathering sticks brought him for judgment unto Moses and Aaron, and unto all the congregation.
34 na wɔde no too afiase, efisɛ na wonhu ɔkwan pɔtee a ɛsɛ sɛ wɔde no fa so.
And they put him in ward; because it had not been declared what should be done to him.
35 Afei, Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose se, “Ɛsɛ sɛ wokum saa onipa no. Nnipa no nyinaa nsiw no abo wɔ atenae no akyi baabi.”
And the Lord said unto Moses, The man shall be put to death: all the congregation shall stone him with stones without the camp.
36 Enti wɔde no kɔɔ atenae no akyi baabi kosiw no abo sɛnea Awurade hyɛɛ Mose no.
And all the congregation brought him forth to without the camp, and they stoned him with stones, and he died; as the Lord had commanded Moses.
37 Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose se,
And the Lord said unto Moses, as followeth,
38 “Kasa kyerɛ Israelfo no se: Awo ntoatoaso nyinaa mu no, momma biribi nsensɛn mo ntade ano na momfa hama tuntum nkyekyere sɛ nkae ade ntetare ntade no ano.
Speak unto the children of Israel, and say to them, that they shall make themselves fringes on the corners of their garments throughout their generations, and that they shall put upon the fringe of the corner a thread of blue:
39 Saa mmara yi botae ne sɛ, bere biara a mubehu saa ade yi no, mobɛkae Awurade mmara a wɔahyɛ mo no, na moadi nʼapɛde so, na moamfa mo ankasa mo akwan sɛnea na moyɛ de som anyame afoforo no.
And it shall be unto you for a fringe, that ye may look upon it, and remember all the commandments of the Lord, and do them; and that ye seek not after [the inclination of] your own heart and [the delight of] your eyes, in pursuit of which ye have been led astray.
40 Ɛbɛkae mo ama moadi me mmara nyinaa so na wɔbɛtew mo ho ama mo Nyankopɔn.
In order that ye may remember, and do all my commandments, and be holy unto your God.
41 Mene Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn a mede mo fi Misraim asase so bae sɛ mɛyɛ mo Nyankopɔn. Mene Awurade mo Nyankopɔn no.”
I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, to be your God: I am the Lord your God.
