4 Mose 6

1 Awurade san ka kyerɛɛ Mose se,

And YHWH speaks to Moses, saying,

2 “Ka kyerɛ Israelfo no se, sɛ ɔbarima anaa ɔbea kɔyɛ Nasareni de tew ne ho wɔ Awurade anim a,

“Speak to the sons of Israel, and you have said to them: When a man or woman does extraordinarily by vowing a vow of a Nazarite, to be separate to YHWH,

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 keeps separate from wine and strong drink; he does not drink vinegar of wine and vinegar of strong drink, and he does not drink any juice of grapes, and he does not eat moist or dry grapes;

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 does not eat of anything which is made of the wine-vine, from kernels even to husk.

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.

All [the] days of the vow of his separation a razor does not pass over his head; he is holy until the fullness of the days [in] which he separates himself to YHWH; the upper part of the hair of his head has grown up.

6 “Ne bɔhyɛ no nna no mu a watew ne ho ama Awurade no, onni ho kwan sɛ ɔkɔ owufo ho.

All [the] days of his keeping separate to YHWH, he does not go near a dead person;

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.

for his father, or for his mother, for his brother, or for his sister—he does not become unclean for them at their death, for the separation of his God [is] on his head;

8 Saa bere no mu nyinaa, wɔatew ne ho ama Awurade.

all [the] days of his separation he [is] holy to YHWH.

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.

And when the dead dies beside him in an instant, suddenly, and he has defiled the head of his separation, then he has shaved his head in the day of his cleansing; on the seventh day he shaves it,

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.

and on the eighth day he brings in two turtle-doves or two young pigeons to the priest, to the opening of 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 has prepared one for a sin-offering and one for a burnt-offering, and has made atonement for him because of that which he has sinned by the body, and he has hallowed his head on that day;

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.

and he has separated to YHWH the days of his separation, and he has brought in a lamb, a son of a year, for a guilt-offering, and the former days are fallen, for his separation has been defiled.

13 “Da a ne bɔhyɛ a ɛtew ɔno ne Awurade ntam no wie du no, ɛsɛ sɛ ɔkɔ Ahyiae Ntamadan no ano.

And this [is] the law of the Nazarite: in the day of the fullness of the days of his separation, he is brought to the opening of 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 has brought his offering near to YHWH—one male lamb, a son of a year, a perfect one, for a burnt-offering, and one female lamb, a daughter of a year, a perfect one, for a sin-offering, and one ram, a perfect one, for peace-offerings,

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.

and a basket of unleavened things of flour, cakes mixed with oil, and thin cakes of unleavened things anointed with oil, and their present, and their drink-offerings.

16 “Ɛsɛ sɛ Ɔsɔfo no de saa afɔrebɔde yi nyinaa ba Awurade anim na wabɛbɔ bɔne ho afɔre ne ɔhyew afɔre.

And the priest has brought [them] near before YHWH, and has made his sin-offering and his 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.

and he makes the ram [as] a sacrifice of peace-offerings to YHWH, besides the basket of unleavened things; and the priest has made its present and its 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.

And the Nazarite has shaved (at the opening of the Tent of Meeting) the head of his separation, and has taken the hair of the head of his separation, and has put [it] on the fire which [is] under the sacrifice of the peace-offerings.

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 has taken the boiled shoulder from the ram, and one unleavened cake out of the basket, and one thin unleavened cake, and has put [them] on the palms of the Nazarite after his shaving [the hair of] his separation;

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.

and the priest has waved them [as] a wave-offering before YHWH; it [is] holy to the priest, besides the breast of the wave-offering, and besides the leg of the raised-offering; and afterward the Nazarite drinks 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 Nazarite who vows his offering to YHWH for his separation, apart from that which his hand attains; according to his vow which he vows so he does by the law of his separation.”

22 Afei, Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose se,

And YHWH speaks to Moses, saying,

23 “Ka kyerɛ Aaron ne ne mmabarima no se, ɛsɛ sɛ wohyira Israelfo yi sononko sɛ:

“Speak to Aaron and to his sons, saying, Thus you bless the sons of Israel, saying to them:

24 “‘Awurade nhyira mo na ɔnhwɛ mo so.

YHWH bless you and keep you;

25 Awurade ntew nʼanim nkyerɛ mo na ɔnnom mo.

YHWH cause His face to shine on you, And favor you;

26 Awurade mma nʼani so nhwɛ mo na ɔmma mo asomdwoe.’

YHWH lift up His countenance on you, And appoint for you—peace.

27 “Saa na ɛsɛ sɛ Aaron ne ne mmabarima hyira Israelfo, na mʼankasa nso mehyira wɔn.”

And they have put My Name on the sons of Israel, and I bless them.”
