4 Mose 15

1 Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose sɛ,

And YHWH speaks to Moses, saying,

2 “Ka kyerɛ Israelfoɔ no sɛ, ‘Sɛ mokɔtena asase a mede ama mo no so

“Speak to the sons of Israel, and you have said to them: When you come into the land of your dwellings, which I am giving to you,

3 na mopɛ sɛ mobɔ ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ anaa afɔdeɛ biara a wɔbɔ no ogya so ma ɛsɔ Awurade ani a, ɛsɛ sɛ afɔrebɔdeɛ no yɛ aboa a ɔfiri mo nnwankuo anaa anantwibuo mu. Sɛ ɛyɛ ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ, anaa afɔrebɔ a wɔde hyɛ bɔ, anaa afɔrebɔ a ɛfiri ɔpɛ mu, anaa afɔrebɔ a wɔbɔ no afirinhyia mu nnapɔnna bi mu no a, ɛsɛ sɛ wɔde aduane afɔrebɔdeɛ ka ho.

then you have prepared a fire-offering to YHWH, a burnt-offering or a sacrifice, for separating a vow or free-will offering, or in your appointed things, to make a refreshing fragrance to YHWH, out of the herd or out of the flock.

4 Deɛ ɔde ba no, ɛsɛ sɛ ɔde aduane afɔrebɔdeɛ a ɛyɛ esiam kilogram mmienu a wɔde ngo lita baako afra ka ho ma Awurade.

And he who is bringing his offering near to YHWH has brought a present near of a tenth part of flour mixed with a fourth of the hin of oil;

5 Odwammaa biara a wɔde bɔ ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ no, ɛsɛ sɛ wɔde nsã afɔrebɔdeɛ a ɛyɛ bobesa lita baako ka ho.

and you prepare a fourth of the hin of wine for a drink-offering, with the burnt-offering or for the sacrifice, for one lamb;

6 “‘Sɛ odwennini na wode rebɔ afɔdeɛ a, fa esiam lita mmiɛnsa fra ngo lita baako,

or for a ram you prepare a present of two-tenth parts of flour mixed with a third of the hin of oil;

7 ne bobesa lita baako sɛ ɔnom afɔrebɔdeɛ. Yei ne afɔrebɔ a ɛbɛsɔ Awurade ani.

and you bring a third part of the hin of wine near for a drink-offering—a refreshing fragrance to YHWH.

8 “‘Sɛ wosiesie nantwie ba ma ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ anaa afɔrebɔdeɛ de hyɛ bɔ sononko bi anaa ayɔnkofa asikyiresiam afɔdeɛ a worebɔ ama Awurade a,

And when you make a son of the herd a burnt-offering, or a sacrifice for separating a vow, or peace-offerings to YHWH,

9 fa atokoɔ afɔrebɔdeɛ a ɛyɛ asikyiresiam a wɔayam no muhumuhu lita nsia ne fa ne ngo lita mmienu ka nantwie no ho

then he has brought near for the son of the herd a present of three-tenth parts of flour mixed with a half of the hin of oil;

10 a bobesa lita mmienu ka ho sɛ ɔnom afɔrebɔdeɛ. Egya na wɔde bɛbɔ saa afɔdeɛ yi na asɔ Awurade ani.

and you bring a half of the hin of wine near for a drink-offering, [for] a fire-offering of refreshing fragrance to YHWH;

11 Yei ne mmara a ɛka nantwie, odwennini, odwammaa anaa abirekyie ba a wɔde bɔ afɔdeɛ ho.

thus it is done for one ox, or for one ram, or for a lamb of the sheep or of the goats.

12 Afɔrebɔdeɛ biara a mo mu biara de bɛkɔ no, ɛsɛ sɛ ɔfa saa ɛkwan yi so.

According to the number that you prepare, so you do to each, according to their number;

13 “‘Ɛsɛ sɛ Israelfoɔ ne ahɔhoɔ a wɔne mo teɛ a wɔpɛ sɛ wɔfa ogya afɔrebɔ so sɔ Awurade ani no nyinaa di saa mmara yi so.

every native does thus with these, for bringing a fire-offering near of refreshing fragrance to YHWH;

14 Na sɛ ahɔhoɔ a wɔte mo mu no pɛ sɛ wɔbɔ ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ ma ɛsɔ Awurade ani a, ɛsɛ sɛ wɔfa saa ɛkwan korɔ no ara so.

and when a sojourner sojourns with you, or whoever [is] in your midst throughout your generations, and he has made a fire-offering of refreshing fragrance to YHWH, as you do so he does.

15 Mmara no wɔ hɔ ma mo nyinaa—ɔmanfoɔ ne ahɔhoɔ; na ɛyɛ nokorɛ a ɛtim hɔ daa firi awoɔ ntoatoasoɔ so kɔsi awoɔ ntoatoasoɔ so sɛ wɔn nyinaa yɛ pɛ wɔ Awurade anim.

One statute is for you of the congregation and for the sojourner who is sojourning, a continuous statute throughout your generations: as you [are] so is the sojourner before YHWH;

16 Mmara baako na ɛwɔ hɔ ma mo nyinaa.’”

one law and one ordinance is for you and for the sojourner who is sojourning with you.”

17 Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose saa ɛberɛ no sɛ,

And YHWH speaks to Moses, saying,

18 “Ka kyerɛ Israelfoɔ no sɛ, sɛ wɔduru asase a mede rebɛma wɔn no so

“Speak to the sons of Israel, and you have said to them: In your coming into the land to where I am bringing you in,

19 na wɔdi asase no so aduane a, wɔmfa bi mmɔ afɔdeɛ mma Awurade.

then it has been, in your eating of the bread of the land, you raise up a raised-offering to YHWH;

20 Atokoɔ a mobɛyam a ɛdi ɛkan no, momfa nto ɔfam nto nkyɛn sɛ akyɛdeɛ sɛdeɛ moyɛ atokoɔ otwakane no wɔ ayuporobea no.

you raise up a cake of the first of your dough [as] a raised-offering; as the raised-offering of a threshing-floor, so you raise it up.

21 Ɛfiri awoɔ ntoatoasoɔ a ɛbɛba no, ɛsɛ sɛ mode saa afɔdeɛ a ɛfiri mo aduane a ɛdi ɛkan a moanya mu yi ma Awurade.

You give to YHWH from the first of your dough [as] a raised-offering throughout your generations.

22 “‘Sɛ mo mu bi firi awerɛfirie mu bu saa mmara a Awurade nam Mose so de ama mo yi so,

And when you err, and do not do all these commands which YHWH has spoken to Moses—

23 na sɛ daakye mo asefoɔ bu mmara ahodoɔ a Awurade nam Mose so de ama mo yi so,

the whole that YHWH has charged on you by the hand of Moses, from the day that YHWH has commanded and from now on, throughout your generations—

24 na sɛ wɔfom awerɛfirie mu a nnipa no nnim a, ɛsɛ sɛ wɔde aduane afɔrebɔdeɛ ne ɔnom afɔrebɔdeɛ ne ɔpapo a wɔde no bɛbɔ bɔne ho afɔdeɛ ka ho ma Awurade.

then it has been, if from the eyes of the congregation it has been done through ignorance, that all the congregation has prepared one bullock, a son of the herd, for a burnt-offering, for refreshing fragrance to YHWH, and its present, and its drink-offering, according to the ordinance, and one kid of the goats for a sin-offering.

25 Na ɔsɔfoɔ no ayɛ mpatadeɛ ama Israelfoɔ nyinaa na wɔde wɔn bɔne akyɛ wɔn; ɛfiri sɛ, ɛyɛ mfomsoɔ, na wɔnam ɔhyeɛ afɔrebɔ so abɔ afɔdeɛ wɔ Awurade anim a wɔn bɔne afɔrebɔdeɛ ka ho.

And the priest has made atonement for all the congregation of the sons of Israel, and it has been forgiven them, for it [is] ignorance, and they have brought in their offering, a fire-offering to YHWH, and their sin-offering before YHWH for their ignorance;

26 Wɔde nnipa no nyinaa a ahɔhoɔ a wɔte wɔn mu ka ho no bɔne bɛkyɛ wɔn, ɛfiri sɛ, ɔmanfoɔ no nyinaa na wɔyɛɛ mfomsoɔ a wɔanhyɛ da; na wɔde akyɛ wɔn nyinaa.

and it has been forgiven to all the congregation of the sons of Israel and to the sojourner who is sojourning in their midst, for that all the people [did it] through ignorance.

27 “‘Sɛ obi yɛ mfomsoɔ awerɛfirie mu a, ɛsɛ sɛ ɔde abirekyibereɛ ba a wadi afe bɛbɔ bɔne ho afɔdeɛ

And if one person sins through ignorance, then he has brought a female goat near, daughter of a year, for a sin-offering;

28 na ɔsɔfoɔ no ayɛ mpatadeɛ ama no wɔ Awurade anim na wɔde ne bɔne akyɛ no.

and the priest has made atonement for the person who is erring, in his sinning through ignorance before YHWH, by making atonement for him, and it has been forgiven him;

29 Saa mmara yi wɔ hɔ ma Israelfoɔ ne ananafoɔ a wɔte mu mu no.

one law is for yourselves—for the native among the sons of Israel and for the sojourner who is sojourning in their midst—for him who is doing [anything] through ignorance.

30 “‘Na sɛ obi boapa yɛ mfomsoɔ a, sɛ ɔyɛ Israelni anaa ɔnanani no, ɔgu Awurade din ho fi, enti wɔbɛyi no afiri nnipa no mu.

And the person who does [evil] with a high hand—of the native or of the sojourner—he is reviling YHWH, and that person has been cut off from the midst of his people;

31 Mperɛ dodoɔ a wɔabu Awurade asɛm animtiaa na wɔboapa abu Awurade mmara so no, ɛsɛ sɛ wɔyi no firi nnipa no mu na ne bɔne gu ne tiri so.’”

because he despised the word of YHWH and has broken His command, that person is certainly cut off; his iniquity [is] on him.”

32 Ɛda bi a Israelfoɔ no wɔ ɛserɛ so no, wɔkyeree wɔn mu baako sɛ ɔrebubu mmabaa homeda.

And the sons of Israel are in the wilderness, and they find a man gathering wood on the Sabbath day,

33 Wɔkyeree no de no kɔɔ Mose ne Aaron ne atemmufoɔ bi anim.

and those finding him gathering wood bring him near to Moses, and to Aaron, and to all the congregation,

34 Wɔde no too afiase kɔsii sɛ wɔhunuu Awurade adwene a ɔwɔ wɔ saa onipa no ho.

and they place him in confinement, for it [is] not explained what is [to be] done to him.

35 Afei, Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose sɛ, “Ɛsɛ sɛ wɔkum saa onipa no. Nnipa no nyinaa nsi no aboɔ wɔ atenaeɛ no akyi baabi.”

And YHWH says to Moses, “The man is certainly put to death [by] all the congregation stoning him with stones at the outside of the camp.”

36 Enti wɔde no kɔɔ atenaeɛ no akyi baabi kɔsii no aboɔ sɛdeɛ Awurade hyɛeɛ no.

And all the congregation brings him out to the outside of the camp and stone him with stones, and he dies, as YHWH has commanded Moses.

37 Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose sɛ,

And YHWH speaks to Moses, saying,

38 “Ka kyerɛ Israelfoɔ na wɔmma biribi nsensɛne wɔn ntadeɛ ano mfiri awoɔ ntoatoasoɔ so nkɔsi awoɔ ntoatoasoɔ so a ɛbɛyɛ mmara a ɛtim hɔ daa na wɔmfa ahoma tuntum nkyekyere sɛ nkaeɛ adeɛ mfam ntadeɛ ano.

“Speak to the sons of Israel, and you have commanded to them, and they have made fringes on the skirts of their garments for themselves, throughout their generations, and they have put a ribbon of blue on the fringe of the skirt,

39 Saa mmara yi botaeɛ ne sɛ, ɛberɛ biara a mobɛhunu saa adeɛ yi no, mobɛkae Awurade mmara a wɔahyɛ mo no, na moadi nʼapɛdeɛ so, na moamfa mo ankasa mo akwan sɛdeɛ na moyɛ de som anyame afoforɔ no.

and it has been to you for a fringe, and you have seen it, and have remembered all the commands of YHWH, and have done them, and you do not search after your heart and after your eyes, after which you are going whoring,

40 Ɛbɛkae mo ama moayɛ kronkron ama Onyankopɔn.

so that you remember and have done all My commands, and you have been holy to your God.

41 Mene Awurade mo Onyankopɔn a mede mo firi Misraim asase so baeɛ no. Aane, mene Awurade mo Onyankopɔn.”

I [am] your God YHWH, who has brought you out from the land of Egypt to become your God; I [am] your God YHWH.”
