3 Mose 6

1 Na Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose sɛ,

And Yahweh spake unto 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,

When any person, shall sin, and shall commit a trespass against Yahweh, —and shall withhold something of the truth from his neighbour in respect of a deposit, or a pledge or anything plundered, or shall use extortion with his neighbour;

3 anaa ɔtu ahunu na ɔka ntam sane wɔ ho sɛ dekodeɛ no nni ne nkyɛn a,

or shall find something lost and shall withhold something of the truth therein, and shall swear to a falsehood, —as regardeth a single thing of all that a son of earth may do, to commit sin thereby;

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.

and so it shall come about that he shall commit sin and then become aware of his guilt, then shall he return the plunder which he had plundered, or the extortion which he had extorted, or the deposit that was deposited with him, —or the lost thing which he hath found:

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.

or in anything as to which he hath been swearing to a falsehood, then shall he make it good in the principal thereof, and the fifth part thereof, shall he add thereunto, —to whomsoever it belongeth, to him, shall he give it in the day he becometh aware of his guilt;

6 Nʼafɔdie ho afɔrebɔdeɛ no bɛyɛ odwennini a ɔnni dɛm. Ɛsɛ sɛ ɔdi ɛboɔ biara a wɔbɛbɔ no no. Ɔde no bɛma ɔsɔfoɔ

but, his guilt-bearer, itself, shall he bring in unto Yahweh, —a ram without defect out of the flock by thine estimate as a guilt-bearer, unto the priest.

7 na ɔsɔfoɔ no de no ayɛ mpatadeɛ ama no wɔ Awurade anim na wɔde ne bɔne akyɛ no.”

So shall the priest put a propitiatory-covering over him before Yahweh, and it shall be forgiven him, —on account of any one thing, of all which one might do, so as to become guilty therein.

8 Afei, Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose sɛ,

And Yahweh spake unto 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, saying, This is the law of the ascending-sacrifice, —the same, is the ascending-sacrifice, which is upon the hearth, upon the altar, all the night until the morning, —and the fire of the altar, shall be kept burning therein.

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.

So then the priest shall put on his upper garment of linen, and, breeches of linen, shall he put on over his flesh, then shall he take up the fat-ashes, whereto the fire consumeth the ascending-sacrifice on the altar, —and shall put 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.

Then shall he put off his garments, and put on other garments, —and shall carry forth the fat-ashes unto the outside of the camp, unto a 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 be kept burning therein, it shall not be suffered to go out, but the priest shall kindle up thereon pieces of wood, morning by morning, —and shall set in order thereupon the ascending-sacrifice, and shall make a perfume thereon with the fat-pieces of the peace-offerings:

13 Ɛsɛ sɛ ɛberɛ biara ogya no kɔ so dɛre. Ɛnsɛ sɛ ɛdum.

fire, shall continually be kept burning on the altar, it shall not be suffered to go out.

14 “‘Atokoɔ afɔdeɛ ho mmara nso nie: Aaron mmammarima bɛgyina afɔrebukyia no anim na wɔde atokoɔ afɔrebɔ no ama Awurade.

And, this, is the law of the meal-offering, —the sons of Aaron shall bring it near before Yahweh, unto the front of 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.

Then shall one lift up therefrom a handful of the fine meal of the meal-offering, and of the oil thereof, and all the frankincense which is upon the meal-offering, —and shall make a perfume at the altar, an altar-flame of a satisfying odour, shall the memorial thereof be, unto Yahweh.

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 remainder thereof, shall Aaron and his sons eat, —as unleavened cakes, shall it be eaten, in a holy place, within the court of the tent of meeting, shall they eat it.

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.

It shall not be baked into anything leavened, as their portion, have I given it, from among the altar-flames of Yahweh, —most holy, it is, like the sin-bearer, and like the guilt-bearer,

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.’”

Any male among the sons of Aaron may eat it, an age-abiding statute to your generations from among the altar-flames of Yahweh, —every one that toucheth them shall be hallowed.

19 Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose sɛ,

And Yahweh spake unto 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 his sons, which they shall bring near unto Yahweh in the day when he is anointed, The tenth of an ephah of fine meal, as a continual meal-offering, —half thereof in the morning, and half thereof 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.

on a pan, with oil, shall it be made when well mingled, shalt thou bring it in, —in baked portions, as a meal-offering in pieces, shalt thou bring it near as a satisfying odour unto Yahweh.

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 is anointed in his stead from among his sons, shall prepare it, —[it is] an age-abiding statute, that unto Yahweh, shall a perfume, of the entire gift, be made:

23 Ɔsɔfoɔ biara atokoɔ afɔdeɛ a ɔbɛbɔ no, ɛsɛ sɛ wɔhye ne nyinaa. Ɛnsɛ sɛ wɔdi.”

yea, every meal-offering of a priest, shall be, entire—it shall not be eaten.

24 Afei Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose sɛ,

And Yahweh spake unto 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.

Speak unto Aaron and unto his sons, saying, This, is the law of the sin-bearer. In the place where the ascending-sacrifice is slain, shall the sin-bearer be slain, before Yahweh, most holy, it is.

26 Ɛsɛ sɛ ɔsɔfoɔ a ɔyɛ afɔrebɔ no ho adwuma no we afɔrebɔdeɛ no wɔ Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no adihɔ hɔ.

The priest who maketh it a sin-bearer, shall eat it, —in a holy place, shall it be eaten, in the court of the tent of meeting.

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.

Every one who toucheth the flesh thereof, shall be hallowed; and when one sprinkleth some of the blood thereof upon a garment, that whereon it was sprinkled, shalt thou wash 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.

But, the earthen vessel wherein it is boiled, shall be broken, —or, if, in a vessel of bronze, it hath been boiled, then shall the vessel be scoured and rinsed in water.

29 Ɔbarima biara a ɔfra asɔfoɔ no mu no bɛdi afɔrebɔdeɛ no bi—wɔn nko ara—ɛfiri sɛ, ɛyɛ kronkron yie.

Any male among the priests may eat thereof, —most holy, it is.

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.

But, no sin-bearer whereof any of the blood is taken into the tent of meeting to make a propitiatory-covering in the sanctuary, shall be eaten, —with fire, shall it be consumed.
