3 Mose 14
1 Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose sɛ,
Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
2 “Ɛda a wɔbɛdwira ɔkwatani ho no, ɛho mmara nie: Wɔde no bɛkɔ akɔma ɔsɔfoɔ,
"This shall be the law of the leper in the day of his cleansing. He shall be brought to the priest,
3 na ɔsɔfoɔ no ahwɛ no wɔ sraban no akyi. Na sɛ ɔsɔfoɔ no hunu sɛ kwata no agyae a,
and the priest shall go forth out of the camp. The priest shall examine him, and look, if the plague of leprosy is healed in the leper,
4 ɔbɛbisa nnomaa mmienu bi a wɔwe, na afei wɔde ntweneduro, koogyan ahoma ne hisope mman a wɔde bɛyɛ ahodwira ahyɛdeɛ ama ɔkwatani no abrɛ no.
then the priest shall command them to take for him who is to be cleansed two living clean birds, and cedar wood, and scarlet, and hyssop.
5 Ɔsɔfoɔ no bɛka ama wɔakum nnomaa no mu baako wɔ ayowaa a nsuo wɔ mu so.
The priest shall command them to kill one of the birds in an earthen vessel over running water.
6 Na anomaa a wɔnnya nkum no no nso, wɔde ɔno ne ntweneduro no ne koogyan ahoma no ne hisope mman no bɛhyɛ anomaa a wɔkumm no no mogya no mu.
As for the living bird, he shall take it, and the cedar wood, and the scarlet, and the hyssop, and shall dip them and the living bird in the blood of the bird that was killed over the running water.
7 Na ɔsɔfoɔ no apete mogya no agu ɔkwatani a ne ho afiri no so mprɛnson, na wapae mu aka sɛ ne ho ate na wagyaa anomaa a wɔnkum no no.
He shall sprinkle on him who is to be cleansed from the leprosy seven times, and shall pronounce him clean, and shall let the living bird go into the open field.
8 “Na ɔyarefoɔ a ne ho atɔ no no bɛsi ne ntoma nyinaa. Ɔbɛyi ne ho nwi nyinaa nso. Ɔbɛdware na wasane abɛtena baabi a kane no na ɔte hɔ bio; nanso ɛsɛ sɛ ɔtena ne ntomadan akyi nnanson.
"He who is to be cleansed shall wash his clothes, and shave off all his hair, and bathe himself in water; and he shall be clean. After that he shall come into the camp, but shall dwell outside his tent seven days.
9 Nnanson no so no, ɔbɛyi ne ho nwi nyinaa bio, ɔbɛyi nʼabɔgyesɛ ayi nʼanintɔn nwi na wayi ne ho nwi a aka nyinaa, na wadware, na afei wɔapae mu aka sɛ ne ho ate.
It shall be on the seventh day, that he shall shave all his hair off his head and his beard and his eyebrows, even all his hair he shall shave off. He shall wash his clothes, and he shall bathe his body in water, then he shall be clean.
10 “Ɛda a ɛdi so a ɛyɛ nnawɔtwe so no, ɔbɛfa nnwammaa anini mmienu a wɔn ho nni dɛm ne odwammaa bereɛ baako a ɔno nso ho nni dɛm, asikyiresiam muhumuhu lita nsia a wɔde ngo afra ne ngo a wɔmfa mfraa hwee lita fa.
"On the eighth day he shall take two male lambs without blemish, and one ewe lamb a year old without blemish, and three tenths of an ephah of fine flour for a meal offering, mingled with oil, and one log of oil.
11 Afei ɔsɔfoɔ a ɔbɛhwehwɛ ɔyarefoɔ no ho ahwɛ sɛ ne ho atɔ no no de onipa no ne nʼafɔrebɔdeɛ bɛba Awurade anim wɔ Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no ano.
The priest who cleanses him shall set the man who is to be cleansed, and those things, before Jehovah, at the door of the Tent of Meeting.
12 “Ɔsɔfoɔ no bɛfa nnwammaa no baako ne ngotoa baako no na ɔde ama Awurade sɛ ɛfɔdie afɔrebɔ a wɔhim no wɔ afɔrebukyia no anim.
"The priest shall take one of the male lambs, and offer him for a trespass offering, with the log of oil, and wave them for a wave offering before Jehovah.
13 Afei, wɔbɛkum odwammaa no wɔ beaeɛ a wɔbɔ bɔne ne ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ no wɔ kronkronbea hɔ. Wɔde saa afɔdie afɔrebɔdeɛ yi bɛma ɔsɔfoɔ no sɛdeɛ wɔyɛ no bɔne afɔrebɔ mu no ara pɛ. Ɛyɛ afɔrebɔ a ɛyɛ kronkron ankasa.
He shall kill the male lamb in the place where they kill the sin offering and the burnt offering, in the place of the sanctuary; for as the sin offering is the priest's, so is the trespass offering. It is most holy.
14 Ɔsɔfoɔ no bɛfa saa ɛfɔdie afɔrebɔdeɛ mogya na ɔde akeka ɔyarefoɔ a wɔrete ne ho no aso nifa ase ne ne nsa nifa kokurobetie ne ne nan nifa kokurobetie.
The priest shall take some of the blood of the trespass offering, and the priest shall put it on the tip of the right ear of him who is to be cleansed, and on the thumb of his right hand, and on the big toe of his right foot.
15 Afei, ɔsɔfoɔ no bɛfa ngo no bi ahwie agu ne nsa benkum mu
The priest shall take some of the log of oil, and pour it into the palm of his own left hand.
16 na ɔde ne nsa nifa abɔ mu, na watu apete mprɛnson wɔ Awurade anim.
The priest shall dip his right finger in the oil that is in his left hand, and shall sprinkle some of the oil with his finger seven times before Jehovah.
17 Ngo no a ɛbɛka ne nsa benkum mu no, ɔsɔfoɔ no de bɛka onipa no aso nifa ase ne ne nsa nifa kokurobetie ne ne nan nifa kokurobetie sɛdeɛ ɔde ɛfɔdie mogya yɛeɛ wɔ ɛfɔdie afɔrebɔ no mu no ara pɛ.
The priest shall put some of the rest of the oil that is in his hand on the tip of the right ear of him who is to be cleansed, and on the thumb of his right hand, and on the big toe of his right foot, upon the blood of the trespass offering.
18 Ɔde ngo no nkaeɛ a ɛwɔ ne nsam no bɛfɔ ɔbarima no tiri ho. Yei bɛkyerɛ sɛ, ɔsɔfoɔ no de ne ho ayɛ mpatadeɛ ama onipa no wɔ Awurade anim.
The rest of the oil that is in the priest's hand he shall put on the head of him who is to be cleansed, and the priest shall make atonement for him before Jehovah.
19 “Afei, ɛsɛ sɛ ɔsɔfoɔ no bɔ bɔne afɔdeɛ na ɔsane yɛ mpatadeɛ ho adeɛ ma onipa a wɔrehohoro ne ho afiri ne kwata mu no ho; ɛno akyi, ɔsɔfoɔ no bɛkum ɔhyeɛ afɔrebɔdeɛ no
"The priest shall offer the sin offering, and make atonement for him who is to be cleansed because of his uncleanness: and afterward he shall kill the burnt offering;
20 na ɔde abɔ ɛne atokoɔ afɔdeɛ wɔ afɔrebukyia no so de ayɛ mpatadeɛ ama ɔbarima no na afei, wapae mu aka sɛ ne ho afiri.
and the priest shall offer the burnt offering and the meal offering on the altar. The priest shall make atonement for him, and he shall be clean.
21 “Sɛ ɔyɛ ohiani a ɔrentumi ntɔ nnwammaa mmienu no a, ɛnneɛ, ɔde odwammaanini baako bɛbɔ ɛfɔdie afɔdeɛ no de ama Awurade sɛ mpatadeɛ a wɔhim no afɔrebukyia no anim; na wɔde asikyiresiam fitaa muhumuhu lita mmienu ne fa a wɔde ngo afra de abɔ atokoɔ afɔdeɛ no a ngo akɔtoa ka ho.
"If he is poor, and can't afford so much, then he shall take one male lamb for a trespass offering to be waved, to make atonement for him, and one tenth of an ephah of fine flour mingled with oil for a meal offering, and a log of oil;
22 Ɛno akyi, ɔde mmorɔnoma mmienu anaa nturukuku mma mmienu mu biara a ɔbɛnya no mu baako bɛbɔ bɔne afɔdeɛ na ɔde baako a ɔbɛka no nso abɔ ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ.
and two turtledoves, or two young pigeons, such as he is able to afford; and the one shall be a sin offering, and the other a burnt offering.
23 “Ɛda a ɛtɔ so nnwɔtwe no, ɔde ne nyinaa bɛkɔ akɔma ɔsɔfoɔ no wɔ Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no ano na ɔsɔfoɔ no de adwira no wɔ Awurade anim.
"On the eighth day he shall bring them for his cleansing to the priest, to the door of the Tent of Meeting, before Jehovah.
24 Ɔsɔfoɔ no bɛfa odwammaa no de abɔ ɛfɔdie afɔdeɛ. Ɔde ngo toa ma bɛka ho na wahim no afɔrebukyia no anim de akyerɛ sɛ, wɔde rema Awurade.
The priest shall take the lamb of the trespass offering, and the log of oil, and the priest shall wave them for a wave offering before Jehovah.
25 Afei, wɔbɛkum odwammaa no de no abɔ ɛfɔdie afɔdeɛ na ɔde ne mogya no bi akeka ɔbarima a wɔredwira no no aso nifa ase. Ɔde mogya no bi bɛka ne nsa nifa kokurobetie ne ne nan nifa kokurobetie.
He shall kill the lamb of the trespass offering. The priest shall take some of the blood of the trespass offering and put it on the tip of the right ear of him who is to be cleansed, and on the thumb of his right hand, and on the big toe of his right foot.
26 Ɔsɔfoɔ no bɛhwie ngo agu ɔno ara ne nsa benkum mu
The priest shall pour some of the oil into the palm of his own left hand;
27 na ɔde ne nsateaa nifa abɔ mu apete bi mprɛnson wɔ Awurade anim.
and the priest shall sprinkle with his right finger some of the oil that is in his left hand seven times before Jehovah.
28 Na ɛsɛ sɛ ɔde ngo a ɛwɔ ne nsam no bi ka ɔbarima no aso nifa ase ne ne nsa nifa kokurobetie ne ne nan nifa kokurobetie sɛdeɛ ɔyɛɛ mogya no ɛberɛ a ɔrebɔ ɛfɔdie afɔdeɛ no.
Then the priest shall put some of the oil that is in his hand on the tip of the right ear of him who is to be cleansed, and on the thumb of his right hand, and on the big toe of his right foot, on the place of the blood of the trespass offering.
29 Ngo no a ɛbɛka wɔ ne nsam no, ɛsɛ sɛ ɔde fɔ ɔbarima a wɔredwira no no tiri ho de yɛ mpatadeɛ wɔ Awurade anim.
The rest of the oil that is in the priest's hand he shall put on the head of him who is to be cleansed, to make atonement for him before Jehovah.
30 Afei, ɛsɛ sɛ ɔde nturukuku mmienu anaa mmorɔnoma mmienu no mu biara a ɔtumi tɔeɛ no ba.
He shall offer one of the turtledoves, or of the young pigeons, such as he is able to afford,
31 Wɔde mmienu a ɔnyaeɛ no mu baako bɛbɔ bɔne afɔdeɛ na baako a aka no, ɔde abɔ ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ a saa ɛberɛ no ara mu wɔbɛbɔ atokoɔ afɔdeɛ nso, na ɔsɔfoɔ no bɛyɛ mpatadeɛ ama ɔbarima no wɔ Awurade anim.”
the one for a sin offering, and the other for a burnt offering, with the meal offering. The priest shall make atonement for him who is to be cleansed before Jehovah."
32 Yeinom ne mmara a ɛfa wɔn a wɔte wɔn ho ma wɔn ho fi kwata mu nanso wɔntumi mfa afɔrebɔdeɛ a ɛho hia no nyinaa mma no.
This is the law for him in whom is the plague of leprosy, who is not able to afford the sacrifice for his cleansing.
33 Afei, Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose ne Aaron sɛ,
Jehovah spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,
34 “Sɛ moduru Kanaan asase a mede ama mo no so, na sɛ mede kwata kɔ afie bi mu a,
"When you have come into the land of Canaan, which I give to you for a possession, and I put a spreading mildew in a house in the land of your possession,
35 ɛnneɛ, efiewura no nyi ne ho adi nkyerɛ ɔsɔfoɔ no na ɔnka sɛ, ‘Ɛyɛ me sɛ kwata wɔ me fie ha!’
then he who owns the house shall come and tell the priest, saying, 'There seems to me to be some sort of plague in the house.'
36 Ɔsɔfoɔ no bɛhyɛ ama wɔatu efie hɔ nneɛma nyinaa ansa na wahwɛ hɔ sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a, sɛ ɔka sɛ kwata wɔ fie hɔ a, ɛrengu biribi foforɔ ho fi wɔ hɔ.
The priest shall command that they empty the house, before the priest goes in to examine the plague, that all that is in the house not be made unclean: and afterward the priest shall go in to inspect the house.
37 Sɛ ɔhunu nsensaneɛ ahahammono anaa kɔkɔɔ wɔ efie no afasuo ho a anonom kɔ afasuo no mu a,
He shall examine the plague; and look, if the plague is in the walls of the house with hollow streaks, greenish or reddish, and it appears to be deeper than the wall;
38 ɔbɛto efie no mu nnanson
then the priest shall go out of the house to the door of the house, and shut up the house seven days.
39 na ne nnanson so no, wasane aba bio abɛhwɛ. Na sɛ nsensaneɛ awurawura afasuo no mu a,
The priest shall come again on the seventh day, and look. If the plague has spread in the walls of the house,
40 ɛnneɛ, ɔsɔfoɔ no bɛhyɛ ama wɔawerɛwerɛ nsisiiɛ no afiri hɔ na wɔato nwerɛwerɛeɛ no agu baabi a ɛhɔ ho nte wɔ kuro no akyi baabi.
then the priest shall command that they take out the stones in which is the plague, and cast them into an unclean place outside of the city:
41 Afei, ɔbɛhyɛ ama afasuo a ɛwɔ efie no mu no, wɔawerɛwerɛ no yie na wɔato nwerɛwerɛeɛ no agu baabi a ɛhɔ nte wɔ kuro no akyi baabi.
and he shall cause the inside of the house to be scraped all over, and they shall pour out the mortar, that they scraped off, outside of the city into an unclean place.
42 Na wɔde aboɔ foforɔ bi abɛhyɛ deɛ wɔwerɛwerɛeɛ no anan na wɔde dɔteɛ foforɔ asra efie no ho.
They shall take other stones, and put them in the place of those stones; and he shall take other mortar, and shall plaster the house.
43 “Na sɛ nsisiiɛ no ba bio a,
"If the plague comes again, and breaks out in the house, after he has taken out the stones, and after he has scraped the house, and after it was plastered;
44 ɔsɔfoɔ no bɛba bio abɛhwɛ na sɛ ɔhunu sɛ nsisiiɛ no atrɛtrɛ a, na ɛyɛ kwata na ɛkyerɛ sɛ efie no ho nte.
then the priest shall come in and look; and look, if the plague has spread in the house, it is a destructive mildew in the house. It is unclean.
45 Sɛ ɛba saa a, ɔbɛhyɛ ama wɔabubu efie no agu. Wɔbɛtwe mmubuiɛ no mu aboɔ, nnua ne dɔteɛ no nyinaa afiri kuro no mu de akɔgu kuro no akyi baabi a ɛhɔ ho nte.
And he shall break down the house, its stones, and its timber, and all the house's mortar. He shall carry them out of the city into an unclean place.
46 “Obiara a ɔbɛwura efie a wɔato mu no mu no ho nte kɔsi anwummerɛ.
"Moreover he who goes into the house while it is shut up shall be unclean until the evening.
47 Na obiara a ɔbɛda hɔ anaa ɔbɛdidi wɔ efie hɔ no bɛsi ne nneɛma nyinaa.
He who lies down in the house shall wash his clothes; and he who eats in the house shall wash his clothes.
48 “Na sɛ wɔsra efie no ho bio na ɔsɔfoɔ no bɛhwɛ na nsisiiɛ no mmaa bio a, ɔbɛpae mu aka sɛ wɔate efie no ho na kwata no nso kɔ.
"If the priest shall come in, and examine it, and look, the plague hasn't spread in the house, after the house was plastered, then the priest shall pronounce the house clean, because the plague is healed.
49 Ɔbɛdi efie no ahodwira ho dwuma. Ɔde nnomaa mmienu, sida dua, asaawa kɔkɔɔ ne hisope mman na ɛbɛdi saa dwuma no.
To cleanse the house he shall take two birds, and cedar wood, and scarlet, and hyssop.
50 Ɔbɛkum nnomaa no baako wɔ nsu pa a ɛwɔ ayowaa mu so,
He shall kill one of the birds in an earthen vessel over running water.
51 na ɔde sida dua no ne hisope mman ne ahoma kɔkɔɔ ne anomaa a wɔnkum no no anu anomaa a wakum no nsu pa no so no mogya mu na wɔde apete efie no mprɛnson.
He shall take the cedar wood, and the hyssop, and the scarlet, and the living bird, and dip them in the blood of the slain bird, and in the running water, and sprinkle the house seven times.
52 Wɔyɛ yei de te efie no ho.
He shall cleanse the house with the blood of the bird, and with the running water, with the living bird, with the cedar wood, with the hyssop, and with the scarlet;
53 Afei, ɔbɛgyae anomaa a ɔnwuiɛ no ama watu akɔ kuro no akyi baabi. Yei ne ɛkwan a wɔfa so de yɛ mpatadeɛ de ma efie sane de dwira ho no.”
but he shall let the living bird go out of the city into the open field. So shall he make atonement for the house; and it shall be clean."
54 Yeinom ne mmara a ɛfa mmeammea a kwata ba hɔ ho.
This is the law for any plague of leprosy, and for an itch,
55 Sɛ ɛyɛ atadeɛ mu anaa efie mu,
and for the destructive mildew of a garment, and for a house,
56 anaa honam ani nhonhonoeɛ, anaa ɔhyehyeɛ mu mpumpunnya anaa honam ani baabi a ɛhɔ ayɛ hyɛnn.
and for a rising, and for a scab, and for a bright spot;
57 Saa ɛkwan yi so na wɔbɛfa ahunu sɛ ɛyɛ kwata anaa ɛnyɛ kwata. Yei enti na wɔhyɛɛ saa mmara yi.
to teach when it is unclean, and when it is clean. This is the law of leprosy.
