3 Mose 21
1 Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose sɛ, “Ka kyerɛ asɔfoɔ no sɛ, ‘Wɔnnsɔ efunu mu mfa ngu wɔn ho fi.
INkosi yasisithi kuMozisi: Tshono kubapristi, amadodana kaAroni, uthi kubo: Kakungabi khona ozingcolisayo ngofileyo phakathi kwabantu bakibo,
2 Sɛ wɔbɛsɔ efunu mu a, na ɛyɛ wɔn fieni, sɛ ebia, ɛna, agya, ɔbabarima, ɔbabaa, onuabarima
ngaphandle kwesihlobo sakhe, esiseduze laye, ngonina, langoyise, langendodana yakhe, langendodakazi yakhe, langomfowabo,
3 anaa onuabaa a ɔyɛ ɔbaabunu a ɔte ase no na ɔdan ɔsɔfoɔ no.
langodadewabo intombi emsulwa, eseduze laye, engazange ibe ngeyendoda; angazingcolisa ngayo.
4 Ɛfiri sɛ, ɔsɔfoɔ no yɛ obi a ɔtua ne nkurɔfoɔ ano a ɛnsɛ sɛ ɔgu ne ho fi sɛdeɛ onipa foforɔ bi bɛtumi agu ne ho fi no.
Kayikuzingcolisa, eyisikhulu phakathi kwabantu bakibo, ukuzingcolisa.
5 “‘Asɔfoɔ no nni ho kwan sɛ wɔbɔ’, yi wɔn abɔgyesɛ anaasɛ wɔsesa wɔn ho.
Kabayikwenza impabanga ekhanda labo, bangageli igumbi lodevu lwabo, bangacabi inhlanga enyameni yabo.
6 Ɛsɛ sɛ wɔyɛ kronkron ma wɔn Onyankopɔn. Ɛnsɛ sɛ wɔgu ne din ho fi. Sɛ ɛba saa a, wɔremfata sɛ wɔde ogya bɛbɔ aduane afɔdeɛ ama Awurade wɔn Onyankopɔn.
Bazakuba ngcwele kuNkulunkulu wabo, bangeyisi ibizo likaNkulunkulu wabo. Ngoba banikela iminikelo yeNkosi eyenziwe ngomlilo, ukudla kukaNkulunkulu wabo. Ngakho bazakuba ngcwele.
7 “‘Ɛnsɛ sɛ ɔsɔfoɔ ware odwamanfoɔ anaa ɔbaa bi a ɔfiri ɔman foforɔ so. Ɔnni ho kwan sɛ ɔware ɔbaa bi a wagyae awadeɛ, ɛfiri sɛ, ɔsɔfoɔ yɛ onipa kronkron ma Onyankopɔn.
Kabayikuthatha owesifazana oyisifebe kumbe ongcolileyo, njalo kabayikuthatha owesifazana olahlwe yindoda yakhe; ngoba ungcwele kuNkulunkulu wakhe.
8 Wɔayi ɔsɔfoɔ no asi hɔ sɛ ɔmmɔ mo Onyankopɔn afɔdeɛ; ɔyɛ kronkron na me Awurade a mete mo ho ma moyɛ kronkron no nso, meyɛ kronkron.
Ngakho uzamngcwelisa, ngoba unikela ukudla kukaNkulunkulu wakho. Uzakuba ngcwele kuwe, ngoba mina Nkosi elingcwelisayo ngingcwele.
9 “‘Ɔsɔfoɔ babaa biara a ɔbɛbɔ adwaman no gu nʼagya ne ɔno ankasa ho fi, enti ɛsɛ sɛ wɔhye no.
Lendodakazi yaloba nguwuphi umpristi, uba izingcolisa ngokuphinga, iyamngcolisa uyise; izatshiswa ngomlilo.
10 “‘Ɛnsɛ sɛ ɔsɔfopanin a wɔde ngo sononko bi asra no ahyɛ no atadeɛ sononko no gyaa ne tirinwi ma ɛsensɛn wɔ ayiyɛ mu. Saa ara nso na ɔnni ho kwan sɛ ɔsunsuane nʼatadeɛ mu.
Lompristi omkhulu phakathi kwabafowabo, okuthelwe ekhanda lakhe amafutha okugcoba, lowehlukaniselwa ukuthi embathe izembatho, kayikuvumela ukuthi ikhanda lakhe lembulwe, angadabuli izembatho zakhe;
11 Ɔnni ho kwan sɛ ɔkɔ efunu ho—nʼagya anaa ne maame funu koraa ɔnni ho kwan sɛ ɔkɔ ho.
angayi lakusiphi isidumbu, angazingcolisi ngoyise loba ngonina;
12 Sɛ ɔgu so reyɛ nʼasɔfodwuma wɔ kronkronbea hɔ a, ɔnni ho kwan sɛ ɔfiri adi. Ɛnsɛ sɛ ɔfa mʼAhyiaeɛ Ntomadan sɛ efie bi kɛkɛ, ɛfiri sɛ, ne Onyankopɔn ngo a wɔde tee ne ho no da so wɔ ne so. Mene Awurade.
angaphumi endlini engcwele, angangcolisi indlu engcwele kaNkulunkulu wakhe, ngoba umqhele wamafutha okugcoba kaNkulunkulu wakhe uphezu kwakhe. NgiyiNkosi.
13 “‘Ɛsɛ sɛ ɔware ɔbaabunu.
Njalo yena uzathatha umfazi ebuntombini bakhe.
14 Ɛnsɛ se ɔware okunafoɔ anaa ɔbaa bi a wagyae awadeɛ anaa odwamanfoɔ. Ɛsɛ sɛ ɔbaa a ɔbɛware no no yɛ ɔbaabunu a ɔfiri ne ɔman mu,
Umfelokazi, kumbe olahliweyo, loba isifebe esingcolisiweyo, laba kangabathathi. Kodwa uzathatha intombi emsulwa ebantwini bakibo ibe ngumkakhe,
15 sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a ɔngu ne mma ho fi wɔ ne nkurɔfoɔ mu. Mene Awurade a metee ne ho no.’”
njalo angangcolisi inzalo yakhe phakathi kwabantu bakibo. Ngoba ngiyiNkosi emngcwelisayo.
16 Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose sɛ,
INkosi yasikhuluma kuMozisi isithi:
17 “Ka kyerɛ Aaron sɛ, ɛfiri awoɔ ntoatoasoɔ so kɔsi awoɔ ntoatoasoɔ so no, nʼasefoɔ biara a wɔadi dɛm no nni ho kwan sɛ wɔbɔ Onyankopɔn afɔdeɛ.
Khuluma kuAroni usithi: Loba ngubani owenzalo yakho ezizukulwaneni zabo okulesici kuye kangasondeli ukunikela ukudla kukaNkulunkulu wakhe.
18 Obi a wadi dɛm mmɛm me: onifirani anaa apakye anaa deɛ ɔwɔ honam akwaa mu sintɔ;
Ngoba loba nguwuphi umuntu okulesici kuye angasondeli, umuntu oyisiphofu, kumbe oyisiqhuli, kumbe olimele ebusweni, kumbe olesitho eselulekileyo,
19 obi a ɔyɛ abasin anaa nansin,
kumbe umuntu okulokwephuka konyawo kuye, kumbe ukwephuka kwesandla,
20 anaa deɛ ɔyɛ afu anaa akwatia anaa deɛ nʼani nyɛ anaa deɛ ekuro atutu no anaa deɛ ɔyɛ ɛtwo.
kumbe olesifumbu, kumbe ongumuthwa, kumbe olomntwana elihlweni lakhe, kumbe olentembuzane, kumbe oloqweqwe olulumayo, loba olimele emasendeni.
21 Ɔsɔfoɔ Aaron aseni biara a wadi dɛm mma mmɛbɔ ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ mma Awurade. Wadi dɛm, ɛno enti ɛnsɛ sɛ ɔtwe bɛn sɛ ɔde ne Onyankopɔn aduane rebrɛ no.
Kakulamuntu owenzalo kaAroni umpristi okukuye isici ozasondela ukunikela iminikelo yeNkosi eyenziwe ngomlilo; kulesici kuye, angasondeli ukunikela ukudla kukaNkulunkulu wakhe.
22 Nanso sɛ wɔbɔ afɔdeɛ no wie a, ɔsɔfoɔ no tumi ma no Onyankopɔn afɔdeɛ no aduane no bi di a ɛmfa ho sɛ ɛyɛ afɔdeɛ kronkron.
Angadla ukudla kukaNkulunkulu wakhe, ezintweni ezingcwelengcwele lezintweni ezingcwele,
23 Nanso ne dɛm no enti, ɔnni ho kwan sɛ ɔkɔ ntwamutam no akyi anaa ɔbɛn afɔrebukyia no. Yei bɛgu me kronkronbea hɔ ho fi na ɛyɛ Awurade na wate hɔ ho.”
kodwa angezi kulo iveyili, angasondeli elathini, ngoba kulesici kuye, ukuze angangcolisi izindlu zami ezingcwele. Ngoba ngiyiNkosi ebangcwelisayo.
24 Enti Mose hyɛɛ mmara yi maa Aaron ne ne mmammarima ne Israelfoɔ nyinaa.
UMozisi wasekhuluma lokho kuAroni, lakumadodana akhe, lakubo bonke abantwana bakoIsrayeli.
