Leviticus 5

1 “‘If anyone sins, in that he hears a public adjuration to testify, he being a witness, whether he has seen or known, if he doesn’t report it, then he shall bear his iniquity.

“‘Obiara a ɔnka bɔne bi a ɔnim ho biribi ho hwee no di ho fɔ.

2 “‘Or if anyone touches any unclean thing, whether it is the carcass of an unclean animal, or the carcass of unclean livestock, or the carcass of unclean creeping things, and it is hidden from him, and he is unclean, then he shall be guilty.

“‘Obiara a ɔde ne nsa ka adeɛ bi a amanneɛ kwan so, ɛho nte, te sɛ aboa bi a ne ho nteɛ no funu, sɛ ɔyɛ wiram aboa, sɛ ɔyɛ afieboa anaa aboa a ɔwea fam no, mpo sɛ wɔnnim sɛ wɔn ho agu fi a, wɔbɛfa no sɛ wɔn ho nte na wɔdi fɔ.

3 “‘Or if he touches the uncleanness of man, whatever his uncleanness is with which he is unclean, and it is hidden from him; when he knows of it, then he shall be guilty.

Sɛ obi anhyɛ da na ɔde ne nsa ka biribi a ɛfiri onipa mu a ɛho nte na ɔte ne ho ase sɛ wayɛ saa adeɛ no a, ɔdi ho fɔ.

4 “‘Or if anyone swears rashly with his lips to do evil or to do good—whatever it is that a man might utter rashly with an oath, and it is hidden from him—when he knows of it, then he will be guilty of one of these.

Sɛ obi ka ntam a, sɛ ntam no yɛ anaa ɛyɛ ntanhunu no, sɛ ɔhunu sɛ ɛyɛ ntanhunu a, ɔdi ho fɔ.

5 It shall be, when he is guilty of one of these, he shall confess that in which he has sinned;

Sɛ obi di yeinom bi ho fɔ a, ɛsɛ sɛ ɔka ne bɔne no mu nokorɛ

6 and he shall bring his trespass offering to Yahweh for his sin which he has sinned: a female from the flock, a lamb or a goat, for a sin offering; and the priest shall make atonement for him concerning his sin.

na ɔde odwanbereɛ anaa abirekyibereɛ bɔ afɔdeɛ ma Awurade. Ɔsɔfoɔ na ɔbɛbɔ onipa ko no bɔne no ho afɔdeɛ ama no. Ɔsɔfoɔ no nam saa afɔrebɔ yi so bɛpata ama no.

7 “‘If he can’t afford a lamb, then he shall bring his trespass offering for that in which he has sinned, two turtledoves, or two young pigeons, to Yahweh; one for a sin offering, and the other for a burnt offering.

“‘Sɛ ɔyɛ ohiani a ɔrennya odwammaa mfa mma Awurade a, ɔmfa nturukuku mmienu anaa mmorɔnoma mma mmienu mmra sɛ ne bɔne ho afɔrebɔdeɛ. Nnomaa no mu baako bɛyɛ ne bɔne no afɔrebɔdeɛ na ɔbaako ayɛ ne hyeɛ afɔrebɔdeɛ.

8 He shall bring them to the priest, who shall first offer the one which is for the sin offering. He shall wring off its head from its neck, but shall not sever it completely.

Ɔde bɛma ɔsɔfoɔ no na ɔde anomaa a ɔdi ɛkan no abɔ bɔne afɔdeɛ no. Ɔbɛkyinsa aboa no kɔn nanso ɔrente ne ti mfiri so,

9 He shall sprinkle some of the blood of the sin offering on the side of the altar; and the rest of the blood shall be drained out at the base of the altar. It is a sin offering.

na wapete ne mogya no bi agu afɔrebukyia no ho. Mogya no nkaeɛ no, ɔbɛhwie agu afɔrebukyia no ase. Yei ne afɔrebɔ kwan a ɛpepa bɔne.

10 He shall offer the second for a burnt offering, according to the ordinance; and the priest shall make atonement for him concerning his sin which he has sinned, and he shall be forgiven.

Ɔde anomaa a ɔtɔ so mmienu no bɛbɔ ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ sɛdeɛ ɔbɔɔ afɔdeɛ a ɛdi ɛkan no ara pɛ. Ɔsɔfoɔ no nam saa afɔrebɔ yi so bɛpata ama deɛ wayɛ bɔne no, na ɛnam so ma wɔde ne bɔne akyɛ no.

11 “‘But if he can’t afford two turtledoves or two young pigeons, then he shall bring as his offering for that in which he has sinned, one tenth of an ephah of fine flour for a sin offering. He shall put no oil on it, and he shall not put any frankincense on it, for it is a sin offering.

“‘Sɛ ɔyɛ ohiani buruburo a ɔrentumi mfa nturukuku anaa mmorɔnoma mma mmɛbɔ ne bɔne ho afɔdeɛ a, ɔde asikyiresiam papa lita mmienu ne fa bɛba sɛ ne bɔne ho afɔrebɔdeɛ. Ɛnsɛ sɛ ɔde ɔsra ngo fra. Ɛnsɛ sɛ ɔde aduhwam nso gu so, ɛfiri sɛ, ɛyɛ bɔne afɔdeɛ.

12 He shall bring it to the priest, and the priest shall take his handful of it as the memorial portion, and burn it on the altar, on the offerings of Yahweh made by fire. It is a sin offering.

Ɔde bɛma ɔsɔfoɔ no. Na ɔsɔfoɔ no asa ne nsabuo ma de asi ne nyinaa anan na wahye no afɔrebukyia no so ama Awurade sɛ afɔrebɔdeɛ biara. Yei bɛyɛ ne bɔne ho afɔrebɔ.

13 The priest shall make atonement for him concerning his sin that he has sinned in any of these things, and he will be forgiven; and the rest shall be the priest’s, as the meal offering.’”

Sɛ ɛba saa a, ɔsɔfoɔ no nam saa afɔrebɔ yi so bɛpata ama onipa no na wɔde ne bɔne no bɛkyɛ no. Asikyiresiam a aka no, wɔde bɛma ɔsɔfoɔ no te sɛ afudeɛ afɔrebɔdeɛ no ara pɛ.’”

14 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,

Awurade hyɛɛ mmara maa Mose sɛ,

15 “If anyone commits a trespass, and sins unwittingly regarding Yahweh’s holy things, then he shall bring his trespass offering to Yahweh: a ram without defect from the flock, according to your estimation in silver by shekels, according to the shekel of the sanctuary, for a trespass offering.

“Sɛ obi anhyɛ da na ɔgu ade kronkron ho fi a, ɔde odwennini a ne ho nni dɛm a ɔfata sɛ mpatadeɛ wɔ ne fɔ no ho bɛba abɛbɔ Awurade afɔdeɛ.

16 He shall make restitution for that which he has done wrong regarding the holy thing, and shall add a fifth part to it, and give it to the priest; and the priest shall make atonement for him with the ram of the trespass offering, and he will be forgiven.

Ade kronkron a onipa no guu ho fi no nso, ɔde foforɔ bɛsi anan na watua dekodeɛ no boɔ ɔha mu nkyɛmu aduonu aka ho sɛ asotwe. Ɔde ne nyinaa bɛma ɔsɔfoɔ na ɔde odwennini no abɔ bɔne afɔdeɛ no na wɔde ne bɔne akyɛ no.

17 “If anyone sins, doing any of the things which Yahweh has commanded not to be done, though he didn’t know it, he is still guilty, and shall bear his iniquity.

“Sɛ obi anhyɛ da na ɔbu Awurade mmara no bi so a, ɔdi fɔ enti ɛsɛ sɛ ɔtua afɔbudeɛ a Mose bɛhyɛ no.

18 He shall bring a ram without defect from of the flock, according to your estimation, for a trespass offering, to the priest; and the priest shall make atonement for him concerning the thing in which he sinned and didn’t know it, and he will be forgiven.

Ɛsɛ sɛ ɔde odwennini anaa ɔpapo a ɔnni dɛm brɛ ɔsɔfoɔ sɛ ne bɔne no ho afɔrebɔdeɛ. Na ɔsɔfoɔ no de ayɛ mpatadeɛ ama no sɛdeɛ bɔne biara a ɔyɛeɛ a wanhyɛ da no, na wɔde ne bɔne bɛkyɛ no.

19 It is a trespass offering. He is certainly guilty before Yahweh.”

Ɛsɛ sɛ wɔbɔ saa afɔdeɛ no sɛ afɔdie afɔrebɔ, ɛfiri sɛ, ɔdi fɔ pefee wɔ Awurade anim.”
