4 Mose 5
1 Eyi ne mmara a Awurade san hyɛ maa Mose:
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
2 “Ka kyerɛ Israelfo no se, ɛsɛ sɛ wɔpam akwatafo nyinaa fi atenae hɔ. Wɔn a kuru atutu wɔn ne wɔn a wɔde wɔn nsa akɔka funu nti wɔn ho agu fi nyinaa no, ɛsɛ sɛ wɔpam wɔn.
Charge the children of Israel, and let them send forth out of the camp every leper, and every one who has in issue of the reins, and every one who is unclean from a dead body.
3 Mmarima ne mmea nyinaa ka ho. Yi wɔn nyinaa fi hɔ, sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ na atenae a me ne mo bɛtena no ho rengu fi.”
Whether male or female, send them forth out of the camp; and they shall not defile their camps in which I dwell among them.
4 Wodii Awurade mmara no so.
And the children of Israel did so, and sent them out of the camp: as the Lord said to Moses, so did the children of Israel.
5 Afei, Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose se,
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
6 “Ka kyerɛ Israelfo no se, sɛ ɔbarima o, ɔbea o, odi Awurade huammɔ a, ɛyɛ bɔne.
Speak to the children of Israel, saying, Every man or woman who shall commit any sin that is common to man, or if that soul shall in anywise have neglected the commandment and transgressed;
7 Ɛsɛ sɛ ɔka ne bɔne na ade a owiae no, otua ho ka nyinaa na ɔsan de ɛho ka no nkyɛmu ɔha mu aduonu ka ho de ma onipa ko a ɔbɔɔ no korɔn no.
[that person] shall confess the sin which he has committed, and shall make satisfaction for his trespass: he [shall pay] the principal, and shall add to it the fifth part, and shall make restoration to him against whom he has trespassed.
8 Na sɛ onipa ko a wɔyɛɛ no bɔne no awu na onni obusuani biara a ɔbɛn no a wobetua ho ka ama no, na ɛsɛ sɛ wotua ma ɔsɔfo a, ɛsɛ sɛ wɔde odwennini ka ho sɛ mpatade. Ɛyɛ Awurade de.
But if a man have no near kinsman, so as to make satisfaction for his trespass to him, the trespass-offering paid to the Lord shall be for the priest, besides the ram of atonement, by which he shall make atonement with it for him.
9 Akyɛde kronkron a Israelfo de bɛkyɛ ɔsɔfo no yɛ ne de.
And every first-fruits in all the sanctified things among the children of Israel, whatsoever they shall offer to the Lord, shall be for the priest himself.
10 Ɔsɔfo biara bɛfa akyɛde kronkron biara a ne nsa bɛka.”
And the hallowed things of every man shall be his; and whatever man shall give [any thing] to the priest, the gift shall be his.
11 Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose se,
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
12 “Ka kyerɛ Israelfo no se, sɛ ɔbarima bi yere kɔbɔ aguaman
Speak to the children of Israel, and thou shalt say to them, Whosesoever wife shall transgress against him, and slight and despise him,
13 nanso onhu asɛm no mu nokware na onya ɔdanseni
and [supposing] any one shall lie with her carnally, and the thing shall be hid from the eyes of her husband, and she should conceal it and be herself defiled, and there be no witness with her, and she should not be taken;
14 na ɔtwe ho ninkunu na ɔnte ne ho ase a,
and there should come upon him a spirit of jealousy, and he should be jealous of his wife, and she be defiled; or there should come upon him a spirit of jealousy, and he should be jealous of his wife, and she should not be defiled;
15 ɔbarima no de ne yere no bɛkɔ ɔsɔfo anim a ɔbea no ho afɔrebɔde a ɛyɛ atokosiam a wɔmfaa ohuam ngo mfrae lita abien ka ho. Efisɛ ɛyɛ ninkutwe afɔrebɔ. Ɛno na ɛbɛma nokware ada adi ama wɔahu sɛ ɔbea no di fɔ anaa odi bem.
then shall the man bring his wife to the priest, and shall bring his gift for her, the tenth part of an ephah of barley-meal: he shall not pour oil upon it, neither shall he put frankincense upon it; for it is a sacrifice of jealousy, a sacrifice of memorial, recalling sin to remembrance.
16 “Ɔsɔfo no de ɔbea no bɛba Awurade anim,
And the priest shall bring her, and cause her to stand before the Lord.
17 na wasaw Ahyiae Ntamadan no mu mfutuma de afra nsu kronkron a egu asuhina kɛse bi mu no.
And the priest shall take pure running water in an earthen vessel, and he shall take of the dust that is on the floor of the tabernacle of witness, and the priest having taken it shall cast it into the water.
18 Ɔbɛsan ne ti a wakyekyere no na ɔde ninkunu afɔrebɔde no agu ne nsam de ahwɛ sɛ ɔbarima no nsusuwii no yɛ nokware ampa ara anaasɛ ɛnyɛ nokware. Ɔsɔfo no begyina nʼanim a okura nsu nwenweenwen a ɛde mmusu ba no.
And the priest shall cause the woman to stand before the Lord, and shall uncover the head of the woman, and shall put into her hands the sacrifice of memorial, the sacrifice of jealousy; and in the hand of the priest shall be the water of this conviction that brings the curse.
19 Ɔbɛma no aka ntam sɛ onnim asɛm no ho hwee na waka akyerɛ no se, sɛ wo ne ɔbarima biara nnae ka wo kunu nko ara ho de a, ɛno de, wo ho ntew mfi nsu nwenweenwen a ɛde mmusu ba yi ho. Na sɛ woabɔ aguaman a, ɛno de, Awurade bɛdome wo wɔ wo nkurɔfo mu. Ɔbɛma wo srɛ aporɔw na wo yafunu ahon. Na ɔbea no bɛka se, ‘Yiw, saa na ɛsɛ sɛ ɛba.’
And the priest shall adjure her, and shall say to the woman, If no one has lain with thee, and if thou hast not transgressed so as to be polluted, being under the power of thy husband, be free from this water of the conviction that causes the curse.
But if being a married woman thou hast transgressed, or been polluted, and any one has lain with thee, beside thy husband:
then the priest shall adjure the woman by the oaths of this curse, and the priest shall say to the woman, The Lord bring thee into a curse and under an oath in the midst of thy people, in that the Lord should cause thy thigh to rot and thy belly to swell;
and this water bringing the curse shall enter into thy womb to cause thy belly to swell, and thy thigh to rot. And the woman shall say, So be it, So be it.
23 “Ɔsɔfo no bɛkyerɛw nnome yi nyinaa agu nhoma bi mu na wahohoro agu nsu nwenweenwen no mu.
And the priest shall write these curses in a book, and shall blot them out with the water of the conviction that brings the curse.
24 Sɛ ɛsɛ sɛ ɔbea no nom nsu no na sɛ ɔnom wɔ bere a wayɛ bɔne a, ɛyɛ nwenweenwen wɔ ne mu.
And he shall cause the woman to drink the water of the conviction that brings the curse; and the water of the conviction that brings the curse shall enter into her.
25 Afei, ɔsɔfo no begye ninkunu afɔrebɔde no afi ɔbea no nsam na wahinhim wɔ Awurade anim na ɔde akɔ afɔremuka no so.
And the priest shall take from the hand of the woman the sacrifice of jealousy, and shall present the sacrifice before the Lord, and shall bring it to the altar.
26 Ɔbɛsaw ne nsa ma de asi ne nyinaa anan na wahyew no wɔ afɔremuka no so na wama ɔbea no anom nsu no.
And the priest shall take a handful of the sacrifice as a memorial of it, and shall offer it up upon the altar; and afterwards he shall cause the woman to drink the water.
27 Sɛ ne ho agu fi na wabɔ aguaman atia ne kunu a, nsu a wanom no bɛyɛ nwenweenwen wɔ ne mu na ne yafunu ahon na ne srɛ aporɔw na wayɛ nnome wɔ ne nkurɔfo mu.
And it shall come to pass, if she be defiled, and have altogether escaped the notice of her husband, then the water of the conviction that brings the curse shall enter into her; and she shall swell in her belly, and her thigh shall rot, and the woman shall be for a curse in the midst of her people.
28 Sɛ ɔyɛ kronkron a ɔmmɔɔ aguaman a, wɔrenhaw no, na ɛrenkyɛ, obenyinsɛn.
But if the woman have not been polluted, and be clean, then shall she be guiltless and shall conceive seed.
29 “Eyi ne mmara a ɛfa ɔbea a ne bra nye na ne kunu twe ne ho ninkunu
This is the law of jealousy, wherein a married woman should happen to transgress, and be defiled;
30 de hwehwɛ mu hu sɛ odi ne kunu nokware anaa onni no nokware no ho. Ɔde no bɛba Awurade anim na ɔsɔfo no adi dwuma a wɔabobɔ so no nyinaa.
or in the case of a man on whomsoever the spirit of jealousy should come, and he should be jealous of his wife, and he should place his wife before the Lord, and the priest shall execute towards her all this law.
31 Wɔrenni ne kunu no asɛm wɔ baabiara sɛ wama ɔyare bɔne bi aba ne yere so, efisɛ ɛyɛ ɔno ara na ɔma ɛbaa saa.”
Then the man shall be clear from sin, and that woman shall bear her sin.
