3 Mose 24
1 Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose sɛ,
And the LORD spake 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 olive oil beaten for the light, to cause a 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 veil of the testimony, in the tent of meeting, shall Aaron order it from evening to morning before the LORD continually: it shall be a statute for ever throughout your generations.
4 Ɛsɛ sɛ wɔhwɛ nkanea a ɛsisi sikakɔkɔɔ kaneadua so wɔ Awurade anim no so ɛberɛ biara.
He shall order the lamps upon the pure candlestick 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 twelve cakes thereof: two tenth parts [of an ephah] shall be in one cake.
6 Monhyehyɛ no akyerɛpɛn mmienu, a nsia biara wɔ kyerɛpɛn baako so wɔ sikakɔkɔɔ amapa ɛpono so wɔ Awurade anim.
And thou shalt set them in two rows, six on 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 pure frankincense upon each row, that it may be to the bread for a memorial, even an offering made by fire unto the LORD.
8 Ɛsɛ sɛ wɔde saa burodo yi sisi Awurade anim Homeda biara; ɛbɛyɛ apam a ɛnni awieeɛ ama Israelfoɔ.
Every sabbath day he shall set it in order before the LORD continually; it is on the behalf of the children of Israel, 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 be for Aaron and his sons; and they shall eat it in a holy place: for it is most holy unto him of the offerings of the LORD made by fire by a perpetual statute.
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 the son of an Israelitish woman, whose father was an Egyptian, went out among the children of Israel: and the son of the Israelitish woman and a man of Israel strove together in the camp;
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 blasphemed the Name, and cursed: 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 put him in ward, that it might be declared unto them at the mouth of the LORD.
13 Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose sɛ,
And the LORD spake 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.
Bring forth him that hath cursed without the camp; and let all that heard him lay their hands upon his head, and let all the congregation stone him.
15 Ka kyerɛ Israelfoɔ no sɛ, ‘Obiara a ɔbɛdome Onyankopɔn no, ɛsɛ sɛ ɔnya ho asotwe:
And thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel, saying, Whosoever curseth 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.
And he that blasphemeth the name of the LORD, he shall surely be put to death; all the congregation shall certainly stone him: as well the stranger, as the homeborn, when he blasphemeth the name [of the LORD], shall be put to death.
17 “‘Obiara a ɔkum ne yɔnko onipa no, ɛsɛ sɛ wɔkum no.
And he that smiteth any man mortally shall surely be put to death;
18 Obiara a ɔkum aboa bi a ɛnyɛ ne dea no, ɛsɛ sɛ ɔhyɛ ananmu.
and he that smiteth a beast mortally shall make it good: life for life.
19 Sɛ obi pira ne yɔnko a, ɔyɔnko no nso bɛpira no bi saa ara.
And if a man cause a blemish in his neighbour; as he hath done, so shall it 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: as he hath caused a blemish in a man, so shall it be rendered unto 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 it good: 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.’”
Ye shall have one manner of law, as well for the stranger, as for the homeborn: 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 spake to the children of Israel, and they brought forth him that had cursed out of the camp, and stoned him with stones. And the children of Israel did as the LORD commanded Moses.
