4 Mose 6

1 Awurade sane ka kyerɛɛ Mose sɛ

And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,

2 ɔnka nkyerɛ Israelfoɔ no sɛ, “Sɛ ɔbarima anaa ɔbaa kɔyɛ Nasareni de te ne ho wɔ Awurade anim a,

Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When either man or woman shall make a special vow, the vow of a Nazirite, to separate himself unto Jehovah,

3 ɛno akyi, saa ɛberɛ a ɔwɔ ahoteɛ no mu no, ɔnni ho kwan sɛ ɔnom nsã a ɛyɛ den anaa bobesa anaa nsã a emu ka.

he shall separate himself from wine and strong drink; he shall drink no vinegar of wine, or vinegar of strong drink, neither shall he drink any juice of grapes, nor eat fresh grapes or dried.

4 Saa ɛberɛ no mu no, ɔnni ho kwan sɛ ɔdi biribiara a ɛfiri bobe mu, sɛ ɛyɛ nʼaba anaa ne hono.

All the days of his separation shall he eat nothing that is made of the grape-vine, from the kernels even to the husk.

5 “Saa ɛberɛ no mu no, ɛnsɛ sɛ ɔyi ne tirinwi, ɛfiri sɛ, ɔyɛ kronkron na wɔate ne ho ama Awurade; ɛno enti na ɛsɛ sɛ ɔma ne tirinwi fu no.

All the days of his vow of separation there shall no razor come upon his head: until the days be fulfilled, in which he separateth himself unto Jehovah, he shall be holy; he shall let the locks of the hair of his head grow long.

6 “Awurade bɔhyɛ no nna no mu no, ɔnni ho kwan sɛ ɔkɔ owufoɔ ho.

All the days that he separateth himself unto Jehovah he shall not come near to a dead body.

7 Sɛ owufoɔ no yɛ nʼagya, ne maame, ne nuabarima anaa ne nuabaa koraa a, ɔnnkɔ ne ho, ɛfiri sɛ, ne bɔ a ɔhyɛ de tee ne ho no, ɔda so hyɛ aseɛ,

He shall not make himself unclean for his father, or for his mother, for his brother, or for his sister, when they die; because his separation unto God is upon his head.

8 na saa ɛberɛ no mu nyinaa, wɔate ne ho ama Awurade.

All the days of his separation he is holy unto Jehovah.

9 “Sɛ obi wu tɔ ne nkyɛn de gu ne ho fi a, nnanson akyi, ɛsɛ sɛ ɔyi ne tirinwi a ɛho agu fi no. Afei, wɔbɛdwira ne ho afiri efi a owufoɔ no de aka no no.

And if any man die very suddenly beside him, and he defile the head of his separation; then he shall shave his head in the day of his cleansing, on the seventh day shall he shave it.

10 Nʼadekyeeɛ a ɛyɛ ɛda a ɛtɔ so nwɔtwe no, ɛsɛ sɛ ɔde nturukuku mmienu anaa mmorɔnoma mma mmienu brɛ ɔsɔfoɔ wɔ Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no kwan ano.

And on the eighth day he shall bring two turtle-doves, or two young pigeons, to the priest, to the door of the tent of meeting:

11 Ɔsɔfoɔ no de nnomaa no mu baako bɛbɔ bɔne ho afɔdeɛ na ɔde ɔbaako abɔ ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ, na ayɛ mpatadeɛ ama deɛ ne ho agu fi no. Na ɛda no ara, ɛsɛ sɛ ɔti ne bɔhyɛ mu na ɔsane ma ne tirinwi no fu bio.

and the priest shall offer one for a sin-offering, and the other for a burnt-offering, and make atonement for him, for that he sinned by reason of the dead, and shall hallow his head that same day.

12 Nna dodoɔ a ɔdii ne bɔhyɛ a ɛdi ɛkan no so no nyinaa ahye agu. Ɔbɛhyɛ Awurade bɔ foforɔ de afiri aseɛ, na ɔde odwennini ba a wadi afe bɛba abɛbɔ ɛfɔdie ho afɔdeɛ.

And he shall separate unto Jehovah the days of his separation, and shall bring a he-lamb a year old for a trespass-offering; but the former days shall be void, because his separation was defiled.

13 “Ɛda a ne bɔhyɛ a ɛte ɔno ne Awurade ntam no wie duru no, ɛsɛ sɛ ɔkɔ Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no ano

And this is the law of the Nazirite, when the days of his separation are fulfilled: he shall be brought unto the door of the tent of meeting:

14 kɔbɔ ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ ma Awurade. Ɔde odwan ba a wadi afe a ɔnnii dɛm na ɛbɛbɔ saa afɔdeɛ no. Ɛsɛ sɛ ɔde odwanbereɛ a wadi afe a ɔnnii dɛm bɔ bɔne ho afɔdeɛ na ɔde odwennini a ɔnnii dɛm bɔ asomdwoeɛ afɔdeɛ.

and he shall offer his oblation unto Jehovah, one he-lamb a year old without blemish for a burnt-offering, and one ewe-lamb a year old without blemish for a sin-offering, and one ram without blemish for peace-offerings,

15 Nneɛma a ɔde bɛka ho no ne burodo a mmɔreka mfra mu, asikyiresiam taterɛ a wɔde ngo afra; burodo ntrawa bi a mmɔreka mfra mu a wɔde ngo ayɛ so a aduane ne nsã afɔrebɔdeɛ ka ho.

and a basket of unleavened bread, cakes of fine flour mingled with oil, and unleavened wafers anointed with oil, and their meal-offering, and their drink-offerings.

16 “Ɔsɔfoɔ no de saa afɔrebɔdeɛ yi nyinaa bɛba Awurade anim. Deɛ ɔde bɛdi ɛkan aba no yɛ bɔne ho afɔdeɛ ne ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ,

And the priest shall present them before Jehovah, and shall offer his sin-offering, and his burnt-offering:

17 afei, odwennini a wɔde no bɛbɔ asomdwoeɛ afɔdeɛ a burodo kɛntɛnma a mmɔreka nni mu nso ka ho. Na deɛ ɛtwa toɔ a ɔde bɛba no ne aduane ne nsã afɔdeɛ a ɔde bɛma Awurade.

and he shall offer the ram for a sacrifice of peace-offerings unto Jehovah, with the basket of unleavened bread: the priest shall offer also the meal-offering thereof, and the drink-offering thereof.

18 “Afei, ɔhotuafo no bɛyi ne tirinwi a afu kuhaa no; ɛno ne nsɛnkyerɛnnedeɛ a ɛkyerɛ sɛ, ɔnhyɛ bɔhyɛ no ase bio. Wɔbɛyɛ yei wɔ Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no ano, na wɔde nwi no agu asomdwoeɛ afɔdeɛ a wɔrebɔ no wɔ ogya mu no ahye no.

And the Nazirite shall shave the head of his separation at the door of the tent of meeting, and shall take the hair of the head of his separation, and put it on the fire which is under the sacrifice of peace-offerings.

19 “Wɔayi ɔbarima no tirinwi no awie no, ɔsɔfoɔ no de odwennini no basa a wɔatoto, taterɛ a mmɔreka nni mu no baako ne burodo ntrawa a mmɔreka nni mu bɛhyɛ ɔbarima no nsam.

And the priest shall take the boiled shoulder of the ram, and one unleavened cake out of the basket, and one unleavened wafer, and shall put them upon the hands of the Nazirite, after he hath shaven [the head of] his separation;

20 Ɔsɔfoɔ no bɛhim no akɔ nʼanim aba nʼakyi wɔ Awurade anim a ɛkyerɛ ma a ɔde rema Awurade. Ne nyinaa yɛ kyɛfa a ɛho te ma ɔsɔfoɔ no. Wɔbɛyɛ no sɛdeɛ wɔyɛ odwennini no basa mu mfempadeɛ a wɔhim no wɔ Awurade anim no. Yei akyi no, ɔhotuafoɔ no tumi nom bobesa a ɛkyerɛ sɛ, wɔayi no afiri ne bɔhyɛ no mu.

and the priest shall wave them for a wave-offering before Jehovah; this is holy for the priest, together with the wave-breast and heave-thigh: and after that the Nazirite may drink wine.

21 “Yeinom ne mmara a ɛda hɔ ma Nasareni a wahyɛ nʼahofama ho bɔ awie, na ɔde afɔrebɔ ahodoɔ brɛ Awurade. Saa afɔrebɔ yi akyi no, ɔtumi de afɔrebɔdeɛ biara a ɔrebɛyɛ Nasareni no, ɔhyɛɛ ho bɔ sɛ ɔde bɛba no ba.”

This is the law of the Nazirite who voweth, [and of] his oblation unto Jehovah for his separation, besides that which he is able to get: according to his vow which he voweth, so he must do after the law of his separation.

22 Afei, Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose sɛ,

And Jehovah spake unto Moses, saying,

23 “Ka kyerɛ Aaron ne ne mmammarima no sɛ ɛsɛ sɛ wɔhyira Israelfoɔ yi sononko sɛ:

Speak unto Aaron and unto his sons, saying, On this wise ye shall bless the children of Israel: ye shall say unto them,

24 “‘Awurade nhyira mo na ɔnhwɛ mo so.

Jehovah bless thee, and keep thee:

25 Awurade nte nʼanim nkyerɛ mo na ɔnnom mo.

Jehovah make his face to shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee:

26 Awurade mma nʼani so nhwɛ mo na ɔmma mo asomdwoeɛ.’

Jehovah lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee peace.

27 “Saa na ɛsɛ sɛ Aaron ne ne mmammarima hyira Israelfoɔ, na mʼankasa nso mɛhyira wɔn.”

So shall they put my name upon the children of Israel; and I will bless them.
