4 Mose 6
1 Awurade san ka kyerɛɛ Mose se,
And the LORD said to Moses,
2 “Ka kyerɛ Israelfo no se, sɛ ɔbarima anaa ɔbea kɔyɛ Nasareni de tew ne ho wɔ Awurade anim a,
“Speak to the Israelites and tell them that if a man or woman makes a special vow, the vow of a Nazirite, to separate himself to the LORD,
3 ɛno akyi, saa bere a ɔwɔ ahotew no mu no, onni ho kwan sɛ ɔnom nsa a ɛyɛ den anaa bobesa anaa nsa a emu kaw.
he is to abstain from wine and strong drink. He must not drink vinegar made from wine or strong drink, and he must not drink any grape juice or eat fresh grapes or raisins.
4 Saa bere no mu no, onni ho kwan sɛ odi biribiara a efi bobe mu, sɛ ɛyɛ nʼaba anaa ne hono.
All the days of his separation, he is not to eat anything that comes from the grapevine, not even the seeds or skins.
5 “Saa bere no mu no, ɛnsɛ sɛ oyi ne tinwi, efisɛ ɔyɛ kronkron na wɔatew ne ho ama Awurade; ɛno nti na ɛsɛ sɛ ɔma ne tinwi fuw no.
For the entire period of his vow of separation, no razor shall pass over his head. He must be holy until the time of his separation to the LORD is complete; he must let the hair of his head grow long.
6 “Ne bɔhyɛ no nna no mu a watew ne ho ama Awurade no, onni ho kwan sɛ ɔkɔ owufo ho.
Throughout the days of his separation to the LORD, he must not go near a dead body.
7 Sɛ owufo no yɛ nʼagya, ne na, ne nuabarima anaa ne nuabea koraa a, ɔnnkɔ ne ho, efisɛ ɔda so hyɛ ne bɔ a ɔhyɛ de tew ne ho maa Onyankopɔn no ase.
Even if his father or mother or brother or sister should die, he is not to defile himself, because the crown of consecration to his God is upon his head.
8 Saa bere no mu nyinaa, wɔatew ne ho ama Awurade.
Throughout the time of his separation, he is holy to the LORD.
9 “Sɛ obi wu tɔ ne nkyɛn de gu ne ho fi a, nnanson akyi no, ɛsɛ sɛ oyi ne tinwi a ɛho agu fi no. Afei, wobedwira ne ho afi fi a owufo no de aka no no ho.
If someone suddenly dies in his presence and defiles his consecrated head of hair, he must shave his head on the day of his cleansing—the seventh day.
10 Nʼadekyee a ɛyɛ da a ɛto so awotwe no, ɛsɛ sɛ ɔde nturukuku abien anaa mmorɔnoma mma abien brɛ ɔsɔfo wɔ Ahyiae Ntamadan no kwan ano.
On the eighth day he must bring two turtledoves or two young pigeons to the priest at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting.
11 Ɔsɔfo no de nnomaa no mu baako bɛbɔ bɔne ho afɔre na ɔde ɔbaako abɔ ɔhyew afɔre, na ayɛ mpata ama nea ne ho agu fi no. Na da no ara, ɛsɛ sɛ oti ne bɔhyɛ mu na ɔsan ma ne tinwi no fuw bio.
And the priest is to offer one as a sin offering and the other as a burnt offering to make atonement for him, because he has sinned by being in the presence of the dead body. On that day he must consecrate his head again.
12 Nna dodow a odii wɔ ne bɔhyɛ a edi kan no mu no nyinaa ahyew agu. Ɔbɛhyɛ Awurade bɔ foforo de afi ase, na ɔde odwennini ba a wadi afe bɛba abɛbɔ afɔdi ho afɔre.
He must rededicate his time of separation to the LORD and bring a year-old male lamb as a guilt offering. But the preceding days shall not be counted, because his separation was defiled.
13 “Da a ne bɔhyɛ a ɛtew ɔno ne Awurade ntam no wie du no, ɛsɛ sɛ ɔkɔ Ahyiae Ntamadan no ano.
Now this is the law of the Nazirite when his time of separation is complete: He must be brought to the entrance to the Tent of Meeting,
14 Ɛhɔ na ɔbɛbɔ ɔhyew afɔre ama Awurade. Ɔde oguan ba a wadi afe a onnii dɛm na ɛbɛbɔ saa afɔre no. Ɛsɛ sɛ ɔde oguammere a wadi afe a onnii dɛm bɔ bɔne ho afɔre na ɔde odwennini a onnii dɛm bɔ asomdwoe afɔre.
and he is to present an offering to the LORD of an unblemished year-old male lamb as a burnt offering, an unblemished year-old female lamb as a sin offering, and an unblemished ram as a peace offering—
15 Nneɛma a ɔde bɛka ho no ne brodo a mmɔkaw mfra mu, asikresiam tetare a wɔde ngo afra; brodo ntrantraa bi a mmɔkaw mfra mu a wɔde ngo ayɛ so a aduan ne nsa afɔrebɔde ka ho.
together with their grain offerings and drink offerings—and a basket of unleavened cakes made from fine flour mixed with oil and unleavened wafers coated with oil.
16 “Ɛsɛ sɛ Ɔsɔfo no de saa afɔrebɔde yi nyinaa ba Awurade anim na wabɛbɔ bɔne ho afɔre ne ɔhyew afɔre.
The priest is to present all these before the LORD and make the sin offering and the burnt offering.
17 Ɛsɛ sɛ ɔde odwennini a wɔde no bɛbɔ asomdwoe afɔre a brodo kɛntɛnma a mmɔkaw nni mu nso ka ho na ɔde abɛbɔ aduan ne nsa afɔre.
He shall also offer the ram as a peace offering to the LORD, along with the basket of unleavened bread. And the priest is to offer the accompanying grain offering and drink offering.
18 “Afei, ɔhotuafo no beyi ne tinwi a afuw kuhaa no; ɛno ne nsɛnkyerɛnne a ɛkyerɛ sɛ ɔnhyɛ bɔhyɛ no ase bio. Wɔbɛyɛ eyi wɔ Ahyiae Ntamadan no ano, na wɔde nwi no agu asomdwoe afɔre a wɔrebɔ no wɔ gya mu no ahyew no.
Then at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting, the Nazirite is to shave his consecrated head, take the hair, and put it on the fire under the peace offering.
19 “Wɔayi ɔbarima no tinwi no awie no, ɔsɔfo no de odwennini no basa a wɔatoto tetare a mmɔkaw nni mu no baako ne brodo ntrantraa a mmɔkaw nni mu bɛhyɛ ɔbarima no nsam.
And the priest is to take the boiled shoulder from the ram, one unleavened cake from the basket, and one unleavened wafer, and put them into the hands of the Nazirite who has just shaved the hair of his consecration.
20 Ɔsɔfo no behim akɔ nʼanim aba nʼakyi wɔ Awurade anim a ɛkyerɛ ma a ɔde rema Awurade. Ne nyinaa yɛ kyɛfa a ɛho tew ma ɔsɔfo no. Wɔbɛyɛ no sɛnea wɔyɛ odwennini no basa mu mfe mparow a wohim no wɔ Awurade anim no. Eyi akyi no, ɔhotuafo no tumi nom bobesa a ɛkyerɛ sɛ wɔayi no afi ne bɔhyɛ no mu.
The priest shall then wave them as a wave offering before the LORD. This is a holy portion for the priest, in addition to the breast of the wave offering and the thigh that was presented. After that, the Nazirite may drink wine.
21 “Eyinom ne mmara a ɛda hɔ ma Nasareni a wahyɛ nʼahofama ho bɔ awie, na ɔde afɔrebɔ ahorow brɛ Awurade. Saa afɔrebɔ yi akyi no, otumi de afɔrebɔde biara a ɔrebɛyɛ Nasareni no, ɔhyɛɛ ho bɔ sɛ ɔde bɛba no ba.”
This is the law of the Nazirite who vows his offering to the LORD for his separation, in addition to whatever else he can afford; he must fulfill whatever vow he makes, according to the law of his separation.”
22 Afei, Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose se,
Then the LORD said to Moses,
23 “Ka kyerɛ Aaron ne ne mmabarima no se, ɛsɛ sɛ wohyira Israelfo yi sononko sɛ:
“Tell Aaron and his sons: This is how you are to bless the Israelites. Say to them:
24 “‘Awurade nhyira mo na ɔnhwɛ mo so.
‘May the LORD bless you and keep you;
25 Awurade ntew nʼanim nkyerɛ mo na ɔnnom mo.
may the LORD cause His face to shine upon you and be gracious to you;
26 Awurade mma nʼani so nhwɛ mo na ɔmma mo asomdwoe.’
may the LORD lift up His countenance toward you and give you peace.’
27 “Saa na ɛsɛ sɛ Aaron ne ne mmabarima hyira Israelfo, na mʼankasa nso mehyira wɔn.”
So they shall put My name on the Israelites, and I will bless them.”
