3 Mose 4

1 Afei Awurade hyɛɛ mmara foforɔ maa Mose sɛ:

And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,

2 “Ka kyerɛ Israelfoɔ sɛ, ‘saa mmara yi na ɛwɔ hɔ ma obiara a wanhyɛ da na ɔbɛbu Awurade mmara no bi so.

Speak to the sons of Israel, saying, If a soul shall sin unwittingly, in any of the things which Jehovah has commanded not to be done, and shall do any one of them,

3 “‘Sɛ ɔsɔfoɔ bi anhyɛ da na ɔfom mmara bi na ɛnam so de afɔbuo ba nnipa no so a, ɛsɛ sɛ ɔde nantwinini ba a ɔnnii dɛm bɔ bɔne ho afɔdeɛ de ma Awurade.

if the anointed priest shall sin so as to bring guilt on the people, then let him offer for his sin, which he has sinned, a young bullock without blemish to Jehovah for a sin offering.

4 Ɛsɛ sɛ ɔde aboa no ba Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no ɛpono ano na ɔde ne nsa gu nʼapampam na ɔkum no wɔ hɔ wɔ Awurade anim.

And he shall bring the bullock to the door of the tent of meeting before Jehovah. And he shall lay his hand upon the head of the bullock, and kill the bullock before Jehovah.

5 Ɔsɔfoɔ no de aboa no mogya bɛkɔ Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no mu.

And the anointed priest shall take of the blood of the bullock, and bring it to the tent of meeting.

6 Ɔde ne nsateaa baako bɛbɔ mogya no mu apete no mprɛnson wɔ Awurade anim wɔ ntoma a ɛsɛn kronkron mu kronkron no anim.

And the priest shall dip his finger in the blood, and sprinkle of the blood seven times before Jehovah, before the veil of the sanctuary.

7 Afei, ɔsɔfoɔ no de mogya no bi bɛgu aduhwam no toa a ɛsi afɔrebukyia no so no wɔ Awurade anim wɔ Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no mu; mogya no a ɛbɛka no, wɔbɛhwie agu afɔrebukyia no ase de abɔ ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ wɔ Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no kwan ano.

And the priest shall put of the blood upon the horns of the altar of sweet incense before Jehovah, which is in the tent of meeting, and all the blood of the bullock he shall pour out at the base of the altar of burnt offering, which is at the door of the tent of meeting.

8 Afei ɔbɛtete sradeɛ a ɛwɔ ne nsono no ho nyinaa,

And all the fat of the bullock of the sin offering he shall take off from it. The fat that covers the innards, and all the fat that is upon the innards,

9 ne sawa mmienu no ne sisia sradeɛ ne ne berɛboɔ kotokuo,

and the two kidneys, and the fat that is upon them, which is by the loins, and the caul upon the liver, with the kidneys, he shall take away,

10 na wahye no wɔ ɔhyeɛ afɔrebukyia no so te sɛ nantwinini anaa nantwibereɛ a wɔde no bɔ asomdwoeɛ afɔdeɛ no pɛ.

as it is taken off from the ox of the sacrifice of peace offerings. And the priest shall burn them upon the altar of burnt offering.

11 Nanso nantwie ba no ho nneɛma a ɛbɛka a ɛyɛ ne nhoma, ne nam, ne ti, ne nan, nʼayamdeɛ, ne ne nsono no deɛ,

And the skin of the bullock, and all its flesh, with its head, and with its legs, and its innards, and its dung,

12 wɔmfa nkɔ afahyɛbea bi a ɛhɔ te wɔ akyiri baabi a wɔde nsõ firi afɔrebukyia no so kɔ hɔ kɔhye no nnyensin so no.

even the whole bullock he shall carry forth outside the camp to a clean place, where the ashes are poured out, and burn it on wood with fire. It shall be burnt where the ashes are poured out.

13 “‘Sɛ Israelfoɔ nyinaa yɛ bɔne a ɛtia Awurade, na sɛ ɛnyɛ boapa yɛ a, nnipa no nyinaa bɛdi ho fɔ.

And if the whole congregation of Israel err, and the thing be hid from the eyes of the assembly, and they have done any of the things which Jehovah has commanded not to be done, and are guilty,

14 Na sɛ wɔhunu wɔn bɔne a, wɔde nantwie ba bɛba abɛbɔ bɔne ho afɔdeɛ wɔ Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no mu.

when the sin by which they have sinned is known, then the assembly shall offer a young bullock for a sin offering, and bring it before the tent of meeting.

15 Sɛ wɔrebɔ saa afɔdeɛ no a, ɔman no mu mpanimfoɔ de wɔn nsa bɛgu aboa no apampam na wɔakum no wɔ Awurade anim.

And the elders of the congregation shall lay their hands upon the head of the bullock before Jehovah, and the bullock shall be killed before Jehovah.

16 Na ɔsɔfoɔ no de ne mogya aba Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no mu,

And the anointed priest shall bring of the blood of the bullock to the tent of meeting.

17 na ɔde ne nsateaa baako abɔ mogya no mu apete no mprɛnson wɔ Awurade ne ntoma a ɛtwa ɛdan no mu no anim.

And the priest shall dip his finger in the blood, and sprinkle it seven times before Jehovah, before the veil.

18 Ɔde mogya bɛgu mmɛn a ɛtuatua afɔrebukyia no ho no so wɔ Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no mu wɔ Awurade anim. Afei ɔbɛhwie mogya a aka wɔ ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ no afɔrebukyia no ase no agu wɔ Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no kwan ano.

And he shall put of the blood upon the horns of the altar which is before Jehovah, that is in the tent of meeting, and all the blood he shall pour out at the base of the altar of burnt offering, which is at the door of the tent of meeting.

19 Sradeɛ a ɛwɔ aboa no mu nyinaa, ɛsɛ sɛ wɔyi na wɔhye no wɔ afɔrebukyia no so.

And all the fat of it he shall take off from it, and burn it upon the altar.

20 Ɔbɛfa ɛkwan a wɔfa so bɔ bɔne ho afɔdeɛ no so pɛpɛɛpɛ. Yei bɛma ɔsɔfoɔ no abɛyɛ mpatadeɛ ama ɔman no na wɔde obiara bɔne bɛkyɛ no.

Thus he shall do with the bullock, as he did with the bullock of the sin offering, so he shall do with this. And the priest shall make atonement for them, and they shall be forgiven.

21 Afei asɔfoɔ no bɛtwe nantwinini ba no de no akɔ beaeɛ foforɔ bi so akɔhye no wɔ hɔ te sɛ deɛ ɔrebɔ ɔbaakofoɔ bɔne ho afɔdeɛ no. Nanso yei deɛ, ɛyɛ ɔman mu no nyinaa afɔrebɔdeɛ.

And he shall carry forth the bullock outside the camp, and burn it as he burned the first bullock. It is the sin offering for the assembly.

22 “‘Sɛ mpanimfoɔ no bi yɛ bɔne a ɔnnim sɛ wafom Awurade Onyankopɔn mmara no baako

When a ruler sins, and does unwittingly any one of all the things which Jehovah his God has commanded not to be done, and is guilty,

23 na wɔma no te ne ho ase a, ɛsɛ sɛ ɔde ɔpapo a ne ho nni dɛm ba sɛ nʼafɔrebɔdeɛ.

if his sin, by which he has sinned, be made known to him, he shall bring for his oblation a goat, a male without blemish.

24 Ɔde ne nsa bɛgu aboa no apampam na wakum no wɔ beaeɛ a wɔkum ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ mmoa no de ama Awurade no. Yei yɛ ne bɔne ho afɔrebɔdeɛ.

And he shall lay his hand upon the head of the goat, and kill it in the place where they kill the burnt offering before Jehovah. It is a sin offering.

25 Afei, ɔsɔfoɔ no de ne nsateaa baako bɛbɔ afɔrebɔdeɛ mogya no mu na ɔde afɔre afɔrebukyia a wɔbɔ ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ wɔ so no mmɛn no ho; na afei wɔahwie mogya no nkaeɛ agu afɔrebukyia no ase.

And the priest shall take of the blood of the sin offering with his finger, and put it upon the horns of the altar of burnt offering, and the blood of it he shall pour out at the base of the altar of burnt offering.

26 Wɔbɛhye sradeɛ no nyinaa wɔ afɔrebukyia no so te sɛ deɛ wɔhye asomdwoeɛ afɔdeɛ sradeɛ no ara pɛ; ɛkyerɛ sɛ, ɔsɔfoɔ no nam saa afɔrebɔ yi so bɛpata ama ɔpanin ko no wɔ ne bɔne no ho na wɔde ne bɔne no bɛkyɛ no.

And all the fat of it he shall burn upon the altar, as the fat of the sacrifice of peace offerings. And the priest shall make atonement for him as concerning his sin, and he shall be forgiven.

27 “‘Sɛ ɔpapahwekwaa bi yɛ bɔne a ɔnnim sɛ wafom a, ɔdi ho fɔ.

And if any soul of the common people sin unwittingly, in doing any of the things which Jehovah has commanded not to be done, and be guilty,

28 Nanso ɔnya te ne ho ase ara pɛ a, ɛsɛ sɛ ɔde abirekyibereɛ a ne ho nni dɛm ba ma wɔde pata ne bɔne no.

if his sin, which he has sinned, be made known to him, then he shall bring for his oblation a goat, a female without blemish, for his sin which he has sinned.

29 Ɔde no bɛba beaeɛ a wɔde mmoa a wɔde wɔn ba ma wɔkum wɔn de wɔn bɔ ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ hɔ no, na ɔde ne nsa ato bɔne ho afɔrebɔdeɛ no apampam na wakum no.

And he shall lay his hand upon the head of the sin offering, and kill the sin offering in the place of burnt offering.

30 Na ɔsɔfoɔ no de mogya no bi afɔre ne nsateaa baako ho na ɔde afɔre ɔhyeɛ afɔrebukyia mmɛn no ho. Afei, ɔsɔfoɔ no bɛhwie mogya no nkaeɛ no agu afɔrebukyia no ase.

And the priest shall take of the blood of it with his finger, and put it upon the horns of the altar of burnt offering, and all the blood of it he shall pour out at the base of the altar.

31 Wɔbɛyi sradeɛ no nyinaa afiri mu te sɛ deɛ wɔfa bɔ asomdwoeɛ afɔdeɛ no ara. Na ɔsɔfoɔ no bɛhye no wɔ afɔrebukyia no so. Na Awurade ani bɛsɔ. Ɛkyerɛ sɛ, ɔsɔfoɔ no nam saa afɔrebɔ yi so bɛpata ama saa onipa no na wɔde ne bɔne bɛkyɛ no.

And all the fat of it he shall take away, as the fat is taken away from off the sacrifice of peace offerings, and the priest shall burn it upon the altar for a sweet savor to Jehovah. And the priest shall make atonement for him, and he shall be forgiven.

32 “‘Na sɛ ɔpɛ sɛ ɔde odwammaa bɛbɔ ne bɔne ho afɔdeɛ nso a, ɛsɛ sɛ ɔyɛ ɔbereɛ a ɛdɛm biara nni ne ho.

And if he brings a lamb as his oblation for a sin offering, he shall bring it a female without blemish.

33 Ɔde no bɛba beaeɛ a wɔde mmoa a wɔde wɔn ba ma wɔkum wɔn de wɔn bɔ ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ hɔ no, na ɔde ne nsa ato bɔne no afɔrebɔdeɛ no apampam na wakum no sɛ bɔne ho afɔrebɔdeɛ.

And he shall lay his hand upon the head of the sin offering, and kill it for a sin offering in the place where they kill the burnt offering.

34 Na ɔsɔfoɔ no de mogya no bi afɔre ne nsateaa baako ho na ɔde afɔre ɔhyeɛ afɔrebukyia mmɛn no ho. Na wahwie mogya no nkaeɛ no agu afɔrebukyia no ase.

And the priest shall take of the blood of the sin offering with his finger, and put it upon the horns of the altar of burnt offering, and all the blood of it he shall pour out at the base of the altar.

35 Wɔbɛyɛ sradeɛ no sɛdeɛ wɔyɛ asomdwoeɛ odwammaa sradeɛ no. Ɔsɔfoɔ no bɛhye sradeɛ no wɔ afɔrebukyia no so te sɛ afɔdeɛ ahodoɔ a wɔde ogya bɔ ma Awurade no ara pɛ. Ɔsɔfoɔ no nam saa afɔrebɔ yi so bɛpata ama onipa ko no, na wɔde ne bɔne bɛkyɛ no.

And all the fat of it he shall take away, as the fat of the lamb is taken away from the sacrifice of peace offerings, and the priest shall burn them on the altar, upon the offerings of Jehovah made by fire. And the priest shall make atonement for him concerning his sin that he has sinned, and he shall be forgiven.
