4 Mose 6

1 Awurade sane ka kyerɛɛ Mose sɛ

And Yahweh 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 sons of Israel, and thou shalt say unto them, —When any man or woman, would make the special vow of One Separate, by separating himself unto Yahweh,

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.

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

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, of nothing that is made from the grapevine from the seeds even to the skin, shall he eat.

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, no razor, shall pass over his head, —until the days are fulfilled for which he shall separate himself to Yahweh hallowed, shall he be, letting 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 for which he hath separated himself unto Yahweh to no dead person, shall he go in.

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,

Neither for his father nor for his mother nor for his brother nor for his sister, shall he make himself unclean-not even for them, should they die, —because, his separation unto God, is upon his head,

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

All his days of separation hallowed, is he unto Yahweh.

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.

But if one that is dying should die by him in a moment suddenly, then shall he count unclean his head of separation, —and shall shave his head, on the day he cleanseth himself, 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, shall he bring in. two turtle-doves, or two young pigeons, —unto the priest, unto the entrance 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 make, of one a sin—bearer and of one an ascending-sacrifice, and so put a propitiatory-covering over him, for that he sinned in respect of the dead person, —thus shall he hallow his head on that 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.

Then shall he separate unto Yahweh his days of separation, and shall bring in a he-lamb a year old as a guilt-bearer, —and, the first days, shall be lost because his separation, was made unclean.

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 Separate One, on the day when he fulfilleth his days of separation, he shall be brought in unto the entrance 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.

then shall he bring near as his offering unto Yahweh.—one he-lamb a year old, without defect for an ascending-sacrifice, and one ewe-lamb a year old without defect for a sin-bearer, —and one ram, without defect for a peace-offering;

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 cakes—fine meal in round cakes overflowed with oil, and thin cakes of unleavened bread, anointed with oil, —with 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,

Then shall the priest bring [them] near before Yahweh, —and offer his sin-bearer and his ascending-sacrifice;

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 the ram, shall he offer as a peace-offering unto Yahweh, besides the basket of unleavened cakes, —and the priest shall offer 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.

Then shall the Separate One shave, at the entrance of the tent of meeting, his head of separation, —and take the hair of his head of separation, and put upon the fire, which is under the peace-offering.

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.

Then shall the priest take the shoulder for boiling from the ram, and one unleavened round cake from the basket, and one unleavened thin cake, —and place them on the hands, of the Separate One after he hath shaven off his [hair of] 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 as a wave-offering before Yahweh, hallowed, it is for the priest, besides the wave breast, and besides the heave leg, —and, afterwards, may the Separate One 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 One Separate what he shall vow, his offering unto Yahweh with respect to his separation, besides what his hand may obtain: as required by the vow that he shall vow, so, must he do, with respect to the law of his separation.

22 Afei, Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose sɛ,

And Yahweh 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 Thus, shall ye bless the sons of Israel, —saying unto them:

24 “‘Awurade nhyira mo na ɔnhwɛ mo so.

Yahweh bless thee, and keep thee:

25 Awurade nte nʼanim nkyerɛ mo na ɔnnom mo.

Yahweh cause his face to shine upon thee and be gracious unto thee:

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

Yahweh lift up his face unto thee, and appoint unto thee peace.

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

Thus shall they put my name upon the sons of Israel, —and, I, myself, will bless them.
