3 Mose 5

1 “‘Obiara a ɔnka bɔne bi a ɔnim ho biribi ho hwee no di ho fɔ.

And if a soul shall sin, and hear the voice of an oath, and be a witness, whether he hath seen or known of it; if he doth not utter it, then he shall bear his iniquity.

2 “‘Obiara a ɔde ne nsa ka adeɛ bi a amanneɛ kwan so, ɛho nte, te sɛ aboa bi a ne ho nteɛ no funu, sɛ ɔyɛ wiram aboa, sɛ ɔyɛ afieboa anaa aboa a ɔwea fam no, mpo sɛ wɔnnim sɛ wɔn ho agu fi a, wɔbɛfa no sɛ wɔn ho nte na wɔdi fɔ.

Or if a soul shall touch any unclean thing, whether a carcase of an unclean beast, or a carcase of unclean cattle, or the carcase of unclean creeping things, and it shall be hidden from him; he also shall be unclean, and guilty.

3 Sɛ obi anhyɛ da na ɔde ne nsa ka biribi a ɛfiri onipa mu a ɛho nte na ɔte ne ho ase sɛ wayɛ saa adeɛ no a, ɔdi ho fɔ.

Or if he shall touch the uncleanness of man, whatever uncleanness it may be that a man shall be defiled with, and it be hid from him; when he knoweth of it, then he shall be guilty.

4 Sɛ obi ka ntam a, sɛ ntam no yɛ anaa ɛyɛ ntanhunu no, sɛ ɔhunu sɛ ɛyɛ ntanhunu a, ɔdi ho fɔ.

Or if a soul shall make an oath, pronouncing with his lips to do evil, or to do good, whatever it may be that a man shall pronounce with an oath, and it be hid from him; when he knoweth of it, then he shall be guilty in one of these.

5 Sɛ obi di yeinom bi ho fɔ a, ɛsɛ sɛ ɔka ne bɔne no mu nokorɛ

And it shall be, when he shall be guilty in one of these things, that he shall confess that he hath sinned in that thing:

6 na ɔde odwanbereɛ anaa abirekyibereɛ bɔ afɔdeɛ ma Awurade. Ɔsɔfoɔ na ɔbɛbɔ onipa ko no bɔne no ho afɔdeɛ ama no. Ɔsɔfoɔ no nam saa afɔrebɔ yi so bɛpata ama no.

And he shall bring his trespass offering to the LORD for his sin which he hath sinned, a female from the flock, a lamb or a kid of the goats, for a sin offering; and the priest shall make an atonement for him concerning his sin.

7 “‘Sɛ ɔyɛ ohiani a ɔrennya odwammaa mfa mma Awurade a, ɔmfa nturukuku mmienu anaa mmorɔnoma mma mmienu mmra sɛ ne bɔne ho afɔrebɔdeɛ. Nnomaa no mu baako bɛyɛ ne bɔne no afɔrebɔdeɛ na ɔbaako ayɛ ne hyeɛ afɔrebɔdeɛ.

And if he shall not be able to bring a lamb, then he shall bring for his trespass, which he hath committed, two turtledoves, or two young pigeons, to the LORD; one for a sin offering, and the other for a burnt offering.

8 Ɔde bɛma ɔsɔfoɔ no na ɔde anomaa a ɔdi ɛkan no abɔ bɔne afɔdeɛ no. Ɔbɛkyinsa aboa no kɔn nanso ɔrente ne ti mfiri so,

And he shall bring them to the priest, who shall offer that which is for the sin offering first, and wring off his head from his neck, but shall not divide it asunder:

9 na wapete ne mogya no bi agu afɔrebukyia no ho. Mogya no nkaeɛ no, ɔbɛhwie agu afɔrebukyia no ase. Yei ne afɔrebɔ kwan a ɛpepa bɔne.

And he shall sprinkle of the blood of the sin offering upon the side of the altar; and the rest of the blood shall be wrung out at the bottom of the altar: it is a sin offering.

10 Ɔde anomaa a ɔtɔ so mmienu no bɛbɔ ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ sɛdeɛ ɔbɔɔ afɔdeɛ a ɛdi ɛkan no ara pɛ. Ɔsɔfoɔ no nam saa afɔrebɔ yi so bɛpata ama deɛ wayɛ bɔne no, na ɛnam so ma wɔde ne bɔne akyɛ no.

And he shall offer the second for a burnt offering, according to the custom: and the priest shall make an atonement for him for his sin which he hath sinned, and it shall be forgiven him.

11 “‘Sɛ ɔyɛ ohiani buruburo a ɔrentumi mfa nturukuku anaa mmorɔnoma mma mmɛbɔ ne bɔne ho afɔdeɛ a, ɔde asikyiresiam papa lita mmienu ne fa bɛba sɛ ne bɔne ho afɔrebɔdeɛ. Ɛnsɛ sɛ ɔde ɔsra ngo fra. Ɛnsɛ sɛ ɔde aduhwam nso gu so, ɛfiri sɛ, ɛyɛ bɔne afɔdeɛ.

But if he shall not be able to bring two turtledoves, or two young pigeons, then he that sinned shall bring for his offering the tenth part of an ephah of fine flour for a sin offering; he shall put no oil upon it, neither shall he put any frankincense on it: for it is a sin offering.

12 Ɔde bɛma ɔsɔfoɔ no. Na ɔsɔfoɔ no asa ne nsabuo ma de asi ne nyinaa anan na wahye no afɔrebukyia no so ama Awurade sɛ afɔrebɔdeɛ biara. Yei bɛyɛ ne bɔne ho afɔrebɔ.

Then shall he bring it to the priest, and the priest shall take his handful of it, even a memorial of it, and burn it on the altar, according to the offerings made by fire to the LORD: it is a sin offering.

13 Sɛ ɛba saa a, ɔsɔfoɔ no nam saa afɔrebɔ yi so bɛpata ama onipa no na wɔde ne bɔne no bɛkyɛ no. Asikyiresiam a aka no, wɔde bɛma ɔsɔfoɔ no te sɛ afudeɛ afɔrebɔdeɛ no ara pɛ.’”

And the priest shall make an atonement for him as concerning his sin that he hath sinned in one of these, and it shall be forgiven him: and the remnant shall be the priest’s, as a meat offering.

14 Awurade hyɛɛ mmara maa Mose sɛ,

And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

15 “Sɛ obi anhyɛ da na ɔgu ade kronkron ho fi a, ɔde odwennini a ne ho nni dɛm a ɔfata sɛ mpatadeɛ wɔ ne fɔ no ho bɛba abɛbɔ Awurade afɔdeɛ.

If a soul shall commit a trespass, and sin through ignorance, in the holy things of the LORD; then he shall bring for his trespass to the LORD a ram without blemish out of the flocks, with thy estimation by shekels of silver, after the shekel of the sanctuary, for a trespass offering:

16 Ade kronkron a onipa no guu ho fi no nso, ɔde foforɔ bɛsi anan na watua dekodeɛ no boɔ ɔha mu nkyɛmu aduonu aka ho sɛ asotwe. Ɔde ne nyinaa bɛma ɔsɔfoɔ na ɔde odwennini no abɔ bɔne afɔdeɛ no na wɔde ne bɔne akyɛ no.

And he shall make amends for the harm that he hath done in the holy thing, and shall add to it the fifth part, and give it to the priest: and the priest shall make an atonement for him with the ram of the trespass offering, and it shall be forgiven him.

17 “Sɛ obi anhyɛ da na ɔbu Awurade mmara no bi so a, ɔdi fɔ enti ɛsɛ sɛ ɔtua afɔbudeɛ a Mose bɛhyɛ no.

And if a soul shall sin, and commit any of these things which are forbidden to be done by the commandments of the LORD; though he knew it not, yet is he guilty, and shall bear his iniquity.

18 Ɛsɛ sɛ ɔde odwennini anaa ɔpapo a ɔnni dɛm brɛ ɔsɔfoɔ sɛ ne bɔne no ho afɔrebɔdeɛ. Na ɔsɔfoɔ no de ayɛ mpatadeɛ ama no sɛdeɛ bɔne biara a ɔyɛeɛ a wanhyɛ da no, na wɔde ne bɔne bɛkyɛ no.

And he shall bring a ram without blemish out of the flock, with thy estimation, for a trespass offering, to the priest: and the priest shall make an atonement for him concerning his ignorance in which he erred and knew it not, and it shall be forgiven him.

19 Ɛsɛ sɛ wɔbɔ saa afɔdeɛ no sɛ afɔdie afɔrebɔ, ɛfiri sɛ, ɔdi fɔ pefee wɔ Awurade anim.”

It is a trespass offering: he hath certainly trespassed against the LORD.
