4 Mose 5
1 Yei ne mmara a Awurade sane hyɛ maa Mose:
And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,
2 “Ka kyerɛ Israelfoɔ no sɛ, ɛsɛ sɛ wɔpam akwatafoɔ nyinaa firi atenaeɛ hɔ. Wɔn a ekuro atutu wɔn ne wɔn a wɔde wɔn nsa akɔka efunu enti wɔn ho agu fi nyinaa no, ɛsɛ sɛ wɔpam wɔn.
'Command the sons of Israel, and they send out of the camp every leper, and every one with an issue, and every one defiled by a body;
3 Mmarima ne mmaa nyinaa ka ho. Yi wɔn nyinaa firi hɔ sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ na atenaeɛ hɔ a me ne mo bɛtena no ho rengu fi”.
from male unto female ye do send out; unto the outside of the camp ye do send them; and they defile not their camps in the midst of which I do tabernacle.'
4 Wɔdii Awurade mmara no so.
And the sons of Israel do so, and they send them out unto the outside of the camp; as Jehovah hath spoken unto Moses so have the sons of Israel done.
5 Afei, Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose sɛ,
And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,
6 “Ka kyerɛ Israelfoɔ no sɛ, sɛ ɔbarima o, ɔbaa o, ɔdi Awurade hwammɔ a, ɛyɛ bɔne.
'Speak unto the sons of Israel, Man or woman, when they do any of the sins of man, by committing a trespass against Jehovah, and that person [is] guilty,
7 Ɛsɛ sɛ ɔka ne bɔne na adeɛ a ɔwiaeɛ no, ɔtua ho ka nyinaa na ɔsane de ɛho ka no nkyɛmu ɔha mu aduonu ka ho de ma onipa ko a ɔbɔɔ no korɔno no.
and they have confessed their sin which they have done, then he hath restored his guilt in its principal, and its fifth is adding to it, and hath given [it] to him in reference to whom he hath been guilty.
8 Na sɛ onipa ko a ɔyɛɛ no bɔne no awu na ɔnni obusuani biara a ɔbɛn no a wɔbɛtua ho ka ama no no a, ɛsɛ sɛ, sɛ ɔtua ka no ma ɔsɔfoɔ a, odwennini ka ho sɛ mpatadeɛ. Ɛyɛ Awurade dea.
'And if the man have no redeemer to restore the guilt to, the guilt which is restored [is] Jehovah's, the priest's, apart from the ram of the atonements, whereby he maketh atonement for him.
9 Akyɛdeɛ kronkron a Israelfoɔ de bɛkyɛ ɔsɔfoɔ no yɛ ne dea.
'And every heave-offering of all the holy things of the sons of Israel, which they bring near to the priest, becometh his;
10 Ɔsɔfoɔ biara bɛfa akyɛdeɛ kronkron biara a ne nsa bɛka.”
and any man's hallowed things become his; that which any man giveth to the priest becometh his.'
11 Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose sɛ,
And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,
12 “Ka kyerɛ Israelfoɔ no sɛ, sɛ ɔbarima bi yere kɔbɔ adwaman
'Speak unto the sons of Israel, and thou hast said unto them, When any man's wife turneth aside, and hath committed against him a trespass,
13 nanso ɔnhunu asɛm no mu nokorɛ na ɔnnya ɔdanseni
and a man hath lain with her [with] the seed of copulation, and it hath been hid from the eyes of her husband, and concealed, and she hath been defiled, and there is no witness against her, and she hath not been caught,
14 na ɔtwe ho ninkunu na ɔnte ne ho ase a,
and a spirit of jealousy hath passed over him, and he hath been jealous of his wife, and she hath been defiled; — or, a spirit of jealousy hath passed over him, and he hath been jealous of his wife, and she hath not been defiled —
15 ɔbarima no de ne yere no bɛkɔ ɔsɔfoɔ anim a ɔbaa no ho afɔrebɔdeɛ a ɛyɛ atokosiam a wɔmfaa ohwam ngo mfraeɛ lita mmienu ka ho. Ɛfiri sɛ, ɛyɛ ninkuntwe afɔrebɔ. Ɛno na ɛbɛma nokorɛ ada adie ama wɔahunu sɛ ɔbaa no di fɔ anaa ɔdi bem.
'Then hath the man brought in his wife unto the priest, and he hath brought in her offering for her, a tenth of the ephah of barley meal, he doth not pour on it oil, nor doth he put on it frankincense, for it [is] a present of jealousy, a present of memorial, causing remembrance of iniquity.
16 “Ɔsɔfoɔ no de ɔbaa no bɛba Awurade anim,
'And the priest hath brought her near, and hath caused her to stand before Jehovah,
17 na wasa Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no mu mfuturo de afra nsuo kronkron a ɛgu asansuo kɛseɛ bi mu no.
and the priest hath taken holy water in an earthen vessel, and of the dust which is on the floor of the tabernacle doth the priest take, and hath put [it] into the water,
18 Ɔbɛsane ne ti a wakyekyere no na ɔde ninkunu afɔrebɔdeɛ no agu ne nsam de ahwɛ sɛ ɔbarima no nsusuiɛ no yɛ nokorɛ ampa ara anaasɛ ɛnyɛ nokorɛ. Ɔsɔfoɔ no bɛgyina nʼanim a ɔkura nsuo nwononwono a ɛde mmusuo ba no.
and the priest hath caused the woman to stand before Jehovah, and hath uncovered the woman's head, and hath given into her hands the present of the memorial, it [is] a present of jealousy, and in the hand of the priest are the bitter waters which cause the curse.
19 Ɔbɛma no aka ntam sɛ ɔnnim asɛm no ho hwee na waka akyerɛ no sɛ, sɛ wo ne ɔbarima biara nnaeɛ ka wo kunu nko ara ho deɛ a, ɛnneɛ, wo ho nte mfiri nsuo nwononwono a ɛde mmusuo ba yi ho. Na sɛ woabɔ adwaman a, ɛnneɛ, Awurade bɛdome wo wɔ wo nkurɔfoɔ mu. Ɔbɛma wo srɛ aporɔ na wo yafunu ahono. Na ɔbaa no bɛka sɛ, ‘Aane, saa na ɛsɛ sɛ ɛba.’
'And the priest hath caused her to swear, and hath said unto the woman, If no man hath lain with thee, and if thou hast not turned aside [to] uncleanness under thy husband, be free from these bitter waters which cause the curse;
and thou, if thou hast turned aside under thy husband, and if thou hast been defiled, and any man doth give his copulation to thee besides thy husband —
(then the priest hath caused the woman to swear with an oath of execration, and the priest hath said to the woman) — Jehovah doth give thee for an execration, and for a curse, in the midst of thy people, in Jehovah's giving thy thigh to fall, and thy belly to swell,
and these waters which cause the curse have gone into thy bowels, to cause the belly to swell, and the thigh to fall; and the woman hath said, Amen, Amen.
23 “Ɔsɔfoɔ no bɛtwerɛ nnome yi nyinaa agu nwoma bi mu na wahohoro agu nsuo nwononwono no mu.
'And the priest hath written these execrations in a book, and hath blotted [them] out with the bitter waters,
24 Sɛ ɛsɛ sɛ ɔbaa no nom nsuo no na sɛ ɔnom wɔ ɛberɛ a wayɛ bɔne a, ɛyɛ nwononwononwono wɔ ne mu.
and hath caused the woman to drink the bitter waters which cause the curse, and the waters which cause the curse have entered into her for bitter things.
25 Afei, ɔsɔfoɔ no bɛgye ninkunu afɔrebɔdeɛ no afiri ɔbaa no nsam na wahinhim no Awurade anim na ɔde akɔ afɔrebukyia no so.
'And the priest hath taken out of the hand of the woman the present of jealousy, and hath waved the present before Jehovah, and hath brought it near unto the altar;
26 Ɔbɛsa ne nsabuo ma de asi ne nyinaa anan na wahye no wɔ afɔrebukyia no so na wama ɔbaa no anom nsuo no.
and the priest hath taken a handful of the present, its memorial, and hath made perfume on the altar, and afterwards doth cause the woman to drink the water:
27 Sɛ ne ho agu fi na wabɔ adwaman no atia ne kunu a, nsuo a wanom no bɛyɛ nwononwononwono wɔ ne mu na ne yafunu ahono na ne srɛ aporɔ na wayɛ nnome wɔ ne nkurɔfoɔ mu.
yea, he hath caused her to drink the water, and it hath come to pass, if she hath been defiled, and doth commit a trespass against her husband, that the waters which cause the curse have gone into her for bitter things, and her belly hath swelled, and her thigh hath fallen, and the woman hath become an execration in the midst of her people.
28 Sɛ ɔyɛ kronn a ɔmmɔɔ adwaman a, wɔrenha no, na ɛrenkyɛre, ɔbɛnyinsɛn.
'And if the woman hath not been defiled, and is clean, then she hath been acquitted, and hath been sown [with] seed.
29 “Yei ne mmara a ɛfa ɔbaa a ne bra nyɛ na ne kunu twe ne ho ninkunu
'This [is] the law of jealousies, when a wife turneth aside under her husband, and hath been defiled,
30 de hwehwɛ mu hunu sɛ ɔdi ne kunu nokorɛ anaa ɔnni no nokorɛ no ho. Ɔde no bɛba Awurade anim na ɔsɔfoɔ no adi dwuma a wɔabobɔ so no nyinaa.
or when a spirit of jealousy passeth over a man, and he hath been jealous of his wife, then he hath caused the woman to stand before Jehovah, and the priest hath done to her all this law,
31 Wɔrenni ne kunu no asɛm wɔ baabiara sɛ wama yare bɔne bi aba ne yere so, ɛfiri sɛ, ɛyɛ ɔno ara na ɔma ɛbaa saa.”
and the man hath been acquitted from iniquity, and that woman doth bear her iniquity.'
