3 Mose 6
1 Na Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose sɛ,
The Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
2 “Sɛ obi yɛ bɔne tia me, sɛ ebia, ɔmpɛ sɛ ɔsane de biribi a wɔde ama no asie kɔto baabi a ɛda anaasɛ ɔbɔ korɔno, anaa ɔsisi ne yɔnko,
Whosoever shall sin, and despising the Lord, shall deny to his neighbour the thing delivered to his keeping, which was committed to his trust; or shall by force extort any thing, or commit oppression;
3 anaa ɔtu ahunu na ɔka ntam sane wɔ ho sɛ dekodeɛ no nni ne nkyɛn a,
Or shall find a thing lost, and denying it, shall also swear falsely, or shall do any other of the many things, wherein men are wont to sin:
4 sɛ obi yɛ bɔne na ɔdi ho fɔ a, ɔbɛsane de ne korɔnodeɛ no anaa ne tintinnyɛdeɛ anaa deɛ wɔde maa no sieeɛ anaa agyapadeɛ a wɔde ahyɛ ne nsa, anaa adeɛ a ayera no aba.
Being convicted of the offence, he shall restore
5 Biribiara a waka ho ntanhunu no nso, ɔbɛsane de ne nyinaa aba na ɔde ho mfɛntom ɔha mu nkyɛmu aduonu aka ho abrɛ onipa ko a ne dea no, ɛda a ɔrebɔ afɔdie ho afɔdeɛ no.
All that he would have gotten by fraud, in the principal, and the fifth part besides to the owner, whom he wronged.
6 Nʼafɔdie ho afɔrebɔdeɛ no bɛyɛ odwennini a ɔnni dɛm. Ɛsɛ sɛ ɔdi ɛboɔ biara a wɔbɛbɔ no no. Ɔde no bɛma ɔsɔfoɔ
Moreover for his sin he shall offer a ram without blemish out of the flock, and shall give it to the priest, according to the estimation and measure of the offence:
7 na ɔsɔfoɔ no de no ayɛ mpatadeɛ ama no wɔ Awurade anim na wɔde ne bɔne akyɛ no.”
And he shall pray for him before the Lord, and he shall have forgiveness for every thing in doing of which he hath sinned.
8 Afei, Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose sɛ,
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
9 “Fa saa mmara a ɛfa ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ ho yi ma Aaron ne ne mmammarima. ‘Wɔbɛgya ɔhyeɛ afɔrebɔdeɛ no wɔ ogya no so anadwo mu no nyinaa a afɔrebukyia ogya no gu so rehye.
Command Aaron and his sons: This is the law of a holocaust: It shall be burnt upon the altar, all night until morning: the fire shall be of the same altar.
10 Adeɛ kye a, ɔsɔfoɔ no bɛhyɛ nʼasɔfotadeɛ nahanaha wɔ aseɛ na wahyɛ atadetam korɔ no ara bi ngugusoɔ na wakɔpra ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ nsõ no de agu afɔrebukyia no nkyɛn.
The priest shall be vested with the tunick and the linen breeches, and he shall take up the ashes of that which the devouring fire hath burnt, and putting them beside the altar,
11 Afei, ɔbɛsesa ne ntadeɛ no na wasoa nsõ no afiri beaeɛ hɔ de akɔgu beaeɛ foforɔ a wɔate hɔ no.
Shall put off his former vestments, and being clothed with others, shall carry them forth without the camp, and shall cause them to be consumed to dust in a very clean place,
12 Saa ɛberɛ yi nyinaa ɛsɛ sɛ ogya a ɛwɔ afɔrebukyia no so no dɛre. Ɛnsɛ sɛ ɛdum. Anɔpa biara ɔsɔfoɔ no de ogya foforɔ bɛhyɛ mu na ɔde ɛda biara ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ agu so, na wahye sradeɛ a wɔde bɔ ɛda biara asomdwoeɛ afɔdeɛ no.
And the fire on the altar shall always burn, and the priest shall feed it, putting wood on it every day in the morning, and laying on the holocaust, shall burn thereupon the fat of the peace offerings.
13 Ɛsɛ sɛ ɛberɛ biara ogya no kɔ so dɛre. Ɛnsɛ sɛ ɛdum.
This is the perpetual fire which shall never go out on the altar.
14 “‘Atokoɔ afɔdeɛ ho mmara nso nie: Aaron mmammarima bɛgyina afɔrebukyia no anim na wɔde atokoɔ afɔrebɔ no ama Awurade.
This is the law of the sacrifice and libations, which the children of Aaron shall offer before the Lord, and before the altar.
15 Ɔsɔfoɔ no bɛsa asikyiresiam a wɔayam no muhumuhu no ne nsabuo ma na ɔde ngo ne aduhwam afra ahye no wɔ afɔrebukyia no so sɛ ananmusideɛ ama Awurade; na Awurade ani bɛsɔ.
The priest shall take a handful of the flour that is tempered with oil, and all the frankincense that is put upon the flour: and he shall burn it on the altar for a memorial of most sweet odour to the Lord:
16 Ɔsa ne nsabuo ma wie a, deɛ ɛbɛka no yɛ Aaron ne ne mmammarima dea a wɔbɛdie. Wɔbɛdi a wɔremfa mmɔreka mfra wɔ Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no adihɔ hɔ.
And the part of the flour that is left, Aaron and his sons shall eat, without leaven: and he shall eat it in the holy place of the court of the tabernacle.
17 Si so dua sɛ, sɛ wɔto a, wɔmmfa mmɔreka mfra mu. Mede saa ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ a wɔbɔ maa me no bi ama asɔfoɔ no. Esiane sɛ ne nyinaa yɛ bɔne ne afɔdie ho afɔrebɔ enti, ɛyɛ kronkron.
And therefore it shall not be leavened, because part thereof is offered for the burnt sacrifice of the Lord. It shall be most holy, as that which is offered for sin and for trespass.
18 Aaron asefoɔ mmarima ne asɔfoɔ na wɔnni mfiri awoɔ ntoatoasoɔ so nkɔsi awoɔ ntoatoasoɔ so. Nanso asɔfoɔ no nko ara na wɔnni afɔrebɔdeɛ a wɔabɔ no ogya so ama Awurade no.’”
The males only of the race of Aaron shall eat it. It shall be an ordinance everlasting in your generations concerning the sacrifices of the Lord: Every one that toucheth them shall be sanctified.
19 Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose sɛ,
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
20 “Ɛda a wɔbɛsra Aaron ne ne mmammarima ngo no, ɛsɛ sɛ wɔde asikyiresiam lita mmienu ne fa brɛ Awurade. Wɔde fa bɛba anɔpa na wɔde fa aba anwummerɛ.
This is the oblation of Aaron, and of his sons, which they must offer to the Lord, in the day of their anointing: They shall offer the tenth part of an ephi of flour for a perpetual sacrifice, half of it in the morning, and half of it in the evening:
21 Wɔde ngo bɛfra ato wɔ dadeɛ apaawa so. Ɛsɛ sɛ wɔto no yie na wɔde brɛ Awurade sɛ nʼafɔrebɔdeɛ a ɛsɔ nʼani yie.
It shall be tempered with oil, and shall be fried in a fryingpan.
22 Ɔsɔfoɔ a ɔfiri Aaron mmammarima mu a wɔrehyɛ no ɔsɔfoɔ ma wasi nʼagya anan no de bɛma Awurade sɛdeɛ wɔahyɛ ho mmara afebɔɔ sɛ wɔnhye ne nyinaa no.
And the priest that rightfully succeedeth his father, shall offer it hot, for a most sweet odour to the Lord, and it shall be wholly burnt on the altar.
23 Ɔsɔfoɔ biara atokoɔ afɔdeɛ a ɔbɛbɔ no, ɛsɛ sɛ wɔhye ne nyinaa. Ɛnsɛ sɛ wɔdi.”
For every sacrifice of the priest shall be consumed with fire, neither shall any man eat thereof.
24 Afei Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose sɛ,
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
25 “Ka kyerɛ Aaron ne ne mmammarima sɛ bɔne afɔrebɔ ho mmara nie: Saa afɔrebɔdeɛ yi ho yɛ kronkron yie enti ɛsɛ sɛ wɔkum no Awurade anim wɔ beaeɛ a wɔkum ɔhyeɛ afɔrebɔdeɛ wɔ hɔ no.
Say to Aaron and his sons: This is the law of the victim for sin: in the place where the holocaust is offered, it shall be immolated before the Lord. It is holy of holies.
26 Ɛsɛ sɛ ɔsɔfoɔ a ɔyɛ afɔrebɔ no ho adwuma no we afɔrebɔdeɛ no wɔ Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no adihɔ hɔ.
The priest that offereth it, shall eat it in a holy place, in the court of the tabernacle.
27 Wɔn a wɔate wɔn ho a wɔyɛ asɔfoɔ nko ara na wɔwɔ ho kwan sɛ wɔde wɔn nsa ka ɛnam no bi; na sɛ ɛba sɛ aboa no mogya bi pete wɔn ntadeɛ mu a, ɛsɛ sɛ wɔsi ntadeɛ no wɔ beaeɛ a wɔate ho hɔ.
Whatsoever shall touch the flesh thereof, shall be sanctified. If a garment be sprinkled with the blood thereof, it shall be washed in a holy place.
28 Kukuo a wɔnoaa ɛnam no wɔ mu no, ɛsɛ sɛ wɔbɔ no; na sɛ ɛyɛ kɔbere nso a, ɛsɛ sɛ wɔtwi mu, na wɔde nsuo hohoro mu nyinaa yie.
And the earthen vessel, wherein it was sodden, shall be broken, but if the vessel be of brass, it shall be scoured, and washed with water.
29 Ɔbarima biara a ɔfra asɔfoɔ no mu no bɛdi afɔrebɔdeɛ no bi—wɔn nko ara—ɛfiri sɛ, ɛyɛ kronkron yie.
Every male of the priestly race shall eat of the flesh thereof, because it is holy of holies.
30 Sɛ wɔde bɔne ho afɔrebɔdeɛ no mogya no bi kɔ Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan mu hɔ de kɔyɛ mpatadeɛ wɔ kronkronbea hɔ a, ɔsɔfoɔ biara renwe bi. Ɛsɛ sɛ wɔde ogya hye aboa no nyinaa wɔ Awurade anim.
For the victim that is slain for sin, the blood of which is carried into the tabernacle of the testimony to make atonement in the sanctuary, shall not be eaten, but shall be burnt with fire.
