3 Mose 4

1 Afei Awurade hyɛɛ mmara foforɔ maa Mose sɛ:

And the Lord spoke unto 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 unto the children of Israel, saying, If any person do sin through ignorance against any of the prohibitions of the Lord which ought not to be done, and do any 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 do sin to bring guiltiness on the people: then shall he bring near for his sin, which he hath committed, a young bullock without blemish, unto the Lord, 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 unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation before the Lord; and he shall lay his hand upon the head of the bullock, and kill the bullock before the Lord.

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

And the anointed priest shall take some of the bullock's blood, and bring it into the tabernacle of the congregation:

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 he shall sprinkle of the blood seven times before the Lord, before the vail 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 some of the blood upon the horns of the altar of the incense of spices before the Lord, which is in the tabernacle of the congregation; and all the [remaining] blood of the bullock shall he pour out at the bottom of the altar of burnt-offering, which is at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.

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

And all the fat of the bullock of the sin-offering shall he take off from the same: the fat that covereth the inwards, and all the fat that is upon the inwards,

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 on the flanks, and the midriff above the liver, with the kidneys, shall he remove it;

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 bullock of the sacrifice of peace-offering; and the priest shall burn the same 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 his flesh, with his head, and with his legs, and his inwards, and his 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, shall he carry forth without the camp, unto a clean place, to where the ashes are poured out, and burn him on the wood with fire; upon where the ashes are poured out shall he be burnt.

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 sin through ignorance, and a thing be hidden from the eyes of the assembly, and they do any one of all the prohibitions of the Lord which ought not to be done, and they become guilty;

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

When now the sin becometh known, through which they have sinned: then shall the congregation offer a young bullock for a sin-offering, and shall bring him before the tabernacle of the congregation.

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 the Lord; and they shall kill the bullock before the Lord.

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

And the anointed priest shall bring some of the bullock's blood into the tabernacle of the congregation:

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 some of the blood, and sprinkle it seven times before the Lord, before the vail.

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 some of the blood shall be put upon the horns of the altar which is before the Lord, that is in the tabernacle of the congregation; and all the [remaining] blood shall he pour out at the bottom of the altar of burnt-offering, which is at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.

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

And all his fat shall he take from him, 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.

And he shall do with the bullock as he did with the bullock of the sin-offering; so shall he do with this: and the priest shall make an atonement for them, and it shall be forgiven unto them.

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 to without the camp, and burn him as he burnt the first bullock; it is a sin-offering of the congregation.

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

If a ruler should sin, and do any one of the prohibitions of the Lord his God which ought not to be done, through ignorance, and become guilty;

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

If now his sin, wherein he hath sinned, come to his knowledge: he shall bring as his offering, 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 on the place where they kill the burnt-offering before the Lord; 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 some of the blood of the sin-offering with his finger, and put it upon the horns of the altar of burnt-offering; and [the remainder of] its blood shall he pour out at the bottom 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 its fat shall he burn upon the altar, as the fat of the sacrifice of peace-offering; and the priest shall make an atonement for him concerning his sin, and it shall be forgiven unto him.

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

And if any person of the common people should sin through ignorance, by his doing any one of the prohibitions of the Lord, which ought not to be done, and become 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 now his sin, which he hath committed, come to his knowledge: then shall he bring as his offering, a goat, a female, without blemish, for his sin which he hath committed;

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 slay the sin-offering on the place of the 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 some of the blood thereof with his finger, and put it upon the horns of the altar of burnt-offering; and all the [remaining] blood thereof shall he pour out at the bottom 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 thereof shall he remove, as the fat is removed from off the sacrifice of peace-offering; and the priest shall burn it upon the altar for a sweet savor unto the Lord: and the priest shall make an atonement for him, and it shall be forgiven unto him.

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 bring a sheep for a sin-offering, a female without blemish shall he bring it.

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 slay it for a sin-offering on 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 some 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 [remaining] blood thereof shall he pour out at the bottom 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 thereof shall he remove, as the fat of the sheep is removed from the sacrifice of the peace-offering; and the priest shall burn the same upon the altar, upon the offerings made by fire unto the Lord; and the priest shall make an atonement for him for his sin that he hath committed, and it shall be forgiven unto him.
