3 Mose 24
1 Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose sɛ,
And the Lord spoke unto Moses, saying,
2 “Ka kyerɛ Israelfoɔ na wɔmmrɛ wo ngo kronn na fa sɔ kanea a ɛnnum da,
Command the children of Israel, that they bring unto thee pure beaten olive-oil, for the lighting, to cause the lamp to burn continually.
3 adanseɛ ntwamutam no akyi wɔ Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no mu, Aaron bɛhwɛ nkanea a ɛwɔ Awurade anim no so, firi anwummerɛ kɔsi anɔpa biara. Ɛyɛ daa ahyɛdeɛ ma mo awoɔ ntoatoasoɔ nyinaa.
Without the vail of the testimony, in the tabernacle of the congregation, shall Aaron put it in order [for] from evening unto morning before the Lord continually; as a statute for ever in your generations.
4 Ɛsɛ sɛ wɔhwɛ nkanea a ɛsisi sikakɔkɔɔ kaneadua so wɔ Awurade anim no so ɛberɛ biara.
Upon the pure candlestick shall be put in order the lamps, before the Lord, continually.
5 “Momfa asikyiresiam muhumuhu nto burodo amuamua dumienu. Momfa esiam lita ɛnan ne fa nto burodo mua biara.
And thou shalt take fine flour, and bake thereof twelve cakes: of two tenth parts shall each one cake be.
6 Monhyehyɛ no akyerɛpɛn mmienu, a nsia biara wɔ kyerɛpɛn baako so wɔ sikakɔkɔɔ amapa ɛpono so wɔ Awurade anim.
And thou shalt place them in two rows, six in a row, upon the pure table before the Lord.
7 Mode aduhwam pa bɛgu kyerɛpɛn biara ho de asi burodo no anan mu ayɛ afɔrebɔdeɛ a wɔhye wɔ ogya so ma Awurade.
And thou shalt put upon each row pure frankincense, that it may be unto the bread for a memorial, as a fire-offering unto the Lord.
8 Ɛsɛ sɛ wɔde saa burodo yi sisi Awurade anim Homeda biara; ɛbɛyɛ apam a ɛnni awieeɛ ama Israelfoɔ.
On every and each sabbath day shall he place it in order before the Lord continually, [obtained] from the children of Israel as an everlasting covenant.
9 Burodo yi yɛ Aaron ne ne mmammarima dea, na ɛsɛ sɛ wɔdi wɔ kronkronbea hɔ, ɛfiri sɛ, ɛyɛ kronkron pa ara wɔ wɔn kyɛfa a ɛwɔ afɔrebɔdeɛ a wɔhye ma Awurade no mu.”
And it shall belong to Aaron and to his sons; and they shall eat it in a holy place; for it is most holy unto him, from the fire-offerings of the Lord, as a perpetual fixed portion.
10 Ɛda bi aberanteɛ bi a ne maame yɛ Israelni na nʼagya nso yɛ Misraimni ne Israelfoɔ no baako nyaa ntɔkwa wɔ wɔn atenaeɛ.
And there went forth a son of an Israelitish woman, but who was the son of an Egyptian man, among the children of Israel; and there quarrelled together in the camp this son of the Israelitish woman and an Israelitish man.
11 Ntɔkwa no mu no, Israelni babarima no domee Onyankopɔn enti wɔde no baa Mose nkyɛn sɛ wɔmmu no atɛn. Na ne maame din de Selomit a ɔyɛ Dibri a ɔfiri Dan abusua mu.
And the son of the Israelitish woman pronounced the [holy] Name, and blasphemed; and they brought him unto Moses: [and his mother's name was Shelomith, the daughter of Dibri, of the tribe of Dan; ]
12 Wɔde no too afiase twɛn Awurade akwankyerɛ.
And they placed him in ward, until the decision of the Lord could be explained to them.
13 Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose sɛ,
And the Lord spoke unto Moses, saying,
14 “Fa obusuyɛni no firi atenaeɛ ha kɔ na kɔka kyerɛ wɔn a wɔtee asɛm a ɔkaeɛ no nyinaa na wɔmfa wɔn nsa ngu nʼapampam; afei nnipa no nyinaa nsi no aboɔ nku no.
Lead forth the blasphemer to without the camp; and all that have heard him shall lay their hands upon his head; and all the congregation shall stone him.
15 Ka kyerɛ Israelfoɔ no sɛ, ‘Obiara a ɔbɛdome Onyankopɔn no, ɛsɛ sɛ ɔnya ho asotwe:
And unto the children of Israel shalt thou speak, saying, Whatsoever man that blasphemeth his God shall bear his sin.
16 obiara a ɔgu Awurade din ho fi no, ɛsɛ sɛ wɔkum no. Ɛsɛ sɛ ɛdɔm no nyinaa si no aboɔ. Ɔhɔhoɔ anaa Israelni biara a ɔbɛgu Awurade din ho fi no, ɛsɛ sɛ wɔkum no.
But he that pronounced the name of the Lord [with blasphemy] shall be put to death, all the congregation shall stone him; be he a stranger, or be he one that is born in the land, when he pronounceth the [holy] Name [with blasphemy, ] he shall be put to death.
17 “‘Obiara a ɔkum ne yɔnko onipa no, ɛsɛ sɛ wɔkum no.
And he that taketh the life of any man shall surely be put to death.
18 Obiara a ɔkum aboa bi a ɛnyɛ ne dea no, ɛsɛ sɛ ɔhyɛ ananmu.
And he that taketh the life of a beast shall make it good: beast for beast.
19 Sɛ obi pira ne yɔnko a, ɔyɔnko no nso bɛpira no bi saa ara.
And if a man cause a bodily defect in his neighbor, as he hath done, so shall be done to him;
20 Dompe mu bu nsi dompe mu bu ananmu; ani nsi ani ananmu; ɛse nsi ɛse ananmu. Sɛdeɛ obi pira ɔfoforɔ no, saa ara na wɔmpira ɔno nso.
Breach for breach, eye for eye, tooth for tooth: in the manner as he hath caused a bodily defect in a man, so shall it be done to him.
21 Obiara a ɔbɛkum aboa bi no, ɛsɛ sɛ ɔhyɛ anan mu; nanso sɛ obi kum onipa a, ɛsɛ sɛ wɔkum no bi.
And he that killeth a beast, shall make restitution for it; and he that killeth a man, shall be put to death.
22 Mmara korɔ no ara wɔ hɔ ma ɔhɔhoɔ ne kuromani. Mene Awurade, mo Onyankopɔn.’”
One manner of judicial law shall ye have, the stranger shall be equal with one of your own country; for I am the Lord your God.
23 Enti Mose kasa kyerɛɛ Israelfoɔ no, na wɔyii obusuyɛni no firii atenaeɛ hɔ kɔsii no aboɔ. Israelfoɔ no yɛɛ sɛdeɛ Awurade hyɛɛ Mose no.
And Moses spoke to the children of Israel; and they led forth the blasphemer to without the camp, and they stoned him with stones; and the children of Israel did as the Lord had commanded Moses.
