4 Mose 6
1 Awurade san ka kyerɛɛ Mose se,
And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
2 “Ka kyerɛ Israelfo no se, sɛ ɔbarima anaa ɔbea kɔyɛ Nasareni de tew ne ho wɔ Awurade anim a,
Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When either man or woman shall make a special vow, the vow of a Nazirite, to separate himself unto 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 shall separate himself from wine and strong drink; he shall drink no vinegar of wine, or vinegar of strong drink, neither shall he drink any liquor of grapes, nor eat fresh grapes or dried.
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 shall he eat nothing that is made of the grape-vine, from the kernels even to the 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 his vow of separation there shall no razor come upon his head: until the days be fulfilled, in the which he separateth himself unto the LORD, he shall be holy, he shall let the locks of 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.
All the days that he separateth himself unto the LORD he shall not come near to 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.
He shall not make himself unclean for his father, or for his mother, for his brother, or for his sister, when they die: because his separation unto God is upon his head.
8 Saa bere no mu nyinaa, wɔatew ne ho ama Awurade.
All the days of his separation he is holy unto 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.
And if any man die very suddenly beside him, and he defile the head of his separation; then he shall shave his head in the day of his cleansing, on the seventh day shall he shave 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 shall bring two turtledoves, or two young pigeons, to the priest, to the door 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 shall offer one for a sin offering, and the other for a burnt offering, and make atonement for him, for that he sinned by reason of the dead, and shall hallow his head that same 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 shall separate unto the LORD the days of his separation, and shall bring a he-lamb of the first year for a guilt offering: but the former days shall be void, 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.
And this is the law of the Nazirite, when the days of his separation are fulfilled: he shall be brought unto the door 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 shall offer his oblation unto the LORD, one he-lamb of the first year without blemish for a burnt offering, and one ewe-lamb of the first year without blemish for a sin offering, and one ram without blemish 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 bread, cakes of fine flour mingled with oil, and unleavened wafers anointed with oil, and their meal offering, 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 shall present them before the LORD, and shall offer 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 shall offer the ram for a sacrifice of peace offerings unto the LORD, with the basket of unleavened bread: the priest shall offer also the meal offering thereof, and the drink offering thereof.
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 Nazirite shall shave the head of his separation at the door of the tent of meeting, and shall take the hair of the head of his separation, and put it on the fire which is under the sacrifice of 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 shall take the sodden shoulder of the ram, and one unleavened cake out of the basket, and one unleavened wafer, and shall put them upon the hands of the Nazirite, after he hath shaven [the head 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 shall wave them for a wave offering before the LORD; this is holy for the priest, together with the wave breast and heave thigh: and 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 voweth, [and of] his oblation unto the LORD for his separation, beside that which he is able to get: according to his vow which he voweth, so he must do after the law of his separation.
22 Afei, Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose se,
And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
23 “Ka kyerɛ Aaron ne ne mmabarima no se, ɛsɛ sɛ wohyira Israelfo yi sononko sɛ:
Speak unto Aaron and unto his sons, saying, On this wise ye shall bless the children of Israel; ye shall say unto them,
24 “‘Awurade nhyira mo na ɔnhwɛ mo so.
The LORD bless thee, and keep thee:
25 Awurade ntew nʼanim nkyerɛ mo na ɔnnom mo.
The LORD make his face to shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee:
26 Awurade mma nʼani so nhwɛ mo na ɔmma mo asomdwoe.’
The LORD lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee peace.
27 “Saa na ɛsɛ sɛ Aaron ne ne mmabarima hyira Israelfo, na mʼankasa nso mehyira wɔn.”
So shall they put my name upon the children of Israel; and I will bless them.
