Leviticus 23
1 And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose sɛ,
2 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, [Concerning] the set feasts of Jehovah, which ye shall proclaim as holy convocations — these are my set feasts.
“Ma Israelfoɔ nte sɛ, ‘Ɛsɛ sɛ wɔdi Awurade afahyɛ ahodoɔ no mmerɛ a Israelfoɔ nyinaa bɛhyia asom me no.
3 Six days shall work be done; but on the seventh day is the sabbath of rest, a holy convocation; no manner of work shall ye do: it is the sabbath to Jehovah in all your dwellings.
“‘Mowɔ nna nsia a mode yɛ adwuma, na ɛda a ɛtɔ so nson no yɛ Homeda a mode home, ɛda a moyɛ nhyiamu kronkron. Ɛnsɛ sɛ moyɛ adwuma biara wɔ baabi a moteɛ. Ɛyɛ Homeda ma Awurade.
4 These are the set feasts of Jehovah, holy convocations, which ye shall proclaim in their seasons:
“‘Yeinom ne Awurade apontoɔ, nhyiamu kronkron a ɛsɛ sɛ mobɔ ho dawuro wɔ ɛberɛ a wɔahyɛ:
5 In the first month, on the fourteenth of the month, between the two evenings, is the passover to Jehovah.
Wɔfiri Awurade Twam Afahyɛ no ase wɔ ɔbosome a ɛdi ɛkan no ɛda ɛtɔ so dunan no anwummerɛ.
6 And on the fifteenth day of this month is the feast of unleavened bread to Jehovah; seven days shall ye eat unleavened bread.
Awurade Apiti Afahyɛ nso, wɔfiri aseɛ saa ɔbosome no ɛda a ɛtɔ so dunum; na mobɛdi apiti nnanson.
7 On the first day ye shall have a holy convocation: no manner of servile work shall ye do.
Ɛda a ɛdi saa afahyɛ yi ɛkan no, mobɛyɛ nhyiamu kronkron, na monnyɛ adwuma biara.
8 And ye shall present to Jehovah an offering by fire seven days; on the seventh day is a holy convocation: no manner of servile work shall ye do.
Nnanson no mu no, mommɔ ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ mma Awurade ɛda biara. Na ɛda a ɛtɔ so nson no, mobɛyɛ nhyiamu kronkron a obiara renyɛ adwuma.’”
9 And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose sɛ,
10 Speak unto the children of Israel and say unto them, When ye come into the land that I give unto you, and ye reap the harvest thereof, then ye shall bring a sheaf of the first-fruits of your harvest unto the priest.
“Kasa kyerɛ Israelfoɔ no sɛ, ‘Sɛ moduru asase a mede bɛma mo no so na motwa mo nnɔbaeɛ a, momfa nnɔbaeɛ afiafi no mu baako nkɔma ɔsɔfoɔ.
11 And he shall wave the sheaf before Jehovah, to be accepted for you; on the next day after the sabbath the priest shall wave it.
Ɔbɛhim no wɔ Awurade anim de akyerɛ sɛ ɔde rema no na Awurade bɛgye sɛ mo akyɛdeɛ.
12 And ye shall offer that day when ye wave the sheaf, a he-lamb without blemish, a yearling, for a burnt-offering to Jehovah;
Ɛda no ara, mode odwennini a wadi afe a ɔnnii dɛm bɛbɔ Awurade ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ,
13 and the oblation thereof: two tenths of fine flour mingled with oil, an offering by fire to Jehovah for a sweet odour; and the drink-offering thereof, of wine, a fourth part of a hin.
ne nʼaduane afɔrebɔdeɛ a ɛyɛ esiam kilogram mmiɛnsa a wɔde ngo afra. Ɛbɛyɛ ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ a ɛyi hwa dɛɛdɛ ma Awurade. Wɔde nsã lita ɛnan ne fa afɔrebɔdeɛ bɛka ho.
14 And ye shall not eat bread, or roast corn, or green ears, until the same day that ye have brought the offering of your God: [it is] an everlasting statute throughout your generations in all your dwellings.
Ɛnsɛ sɛ modi burodo biara, sɛ ɛyɛ aduane a wɔato anaa ɛyɛ foforɔ, kɔsi ɛda a mode saa afɔrebɔdeɛ yi bɛbrɛ mo Onyankopɔn. Yei bɛyɛ ahyɛdeɛ a ɛbɛtena hɔ daa ama awoɔ ntoatoasoɔ a ɛbɛba no wɔ baabiara a mobɛtena.
15 And ye shall count from the morning after the sabbath, from the day that ye brought the sheaf of the wave-offering, seven weeks; they shall be complete;
“‘Homeda no akyi ɛda a ɛdi ɛkan a wɔmaa atokoɔ afiafi mu baako so him no Awurade anim sɛ afɔrebɔdeɛ no, mobɛfiti aseɛ abubu nnawɔtwe nson.
16 even unto the morning after the seventh sabbath shall ye count fifty days; and ye shall present a new oblation to Jehovah.
Monkan adaduonum a ɛkɔsi homeda a ɛtɔ so nson no akyi ɛda koro na momfa atokoɔ foforɔ mmɛbɔ afɔdeɛ mma Awurade.
17 Out of your dwellings shall ye bring two wave-loaves, of two tenths of fine flour; with leaven shall they be baken; [as] first-fruits to Jehovah.
Yei bɛyɛ burodo mmienu a mode bɛfiri mo afie mu bɛba. Na wɔbɛhim no wɔ Awurade anim sɛ afɔrebɔ no. Momfa asikyiresiam lita ɛnan a wɔde mmɔreka afra nto saa burodo yi. Ɛyɛ mo aduane a ɛdi ɛkan afɔrebɔdeɛ a mode rema Awurade.
18 And ye shall present with the bread seven he-lambs without blemish, yearlings, and one young bullock, and two rams: they shall be a burnt-offering to Jehovah with their oblation, and their drink-offerings, an offering by fire of a sweet odour to Jehovah.
Mode burodo ne nsã bɛka nnwan mma nson a wɔadi afe a ɛdɛm biara nni wɔn ho ne nantwie ba baako ne nnwennini mmienu ho abɔ ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ ama Awurade. Yeinom nyinaa yɛ ogya afɔrebɔdeɛ a ɛsɔ Awurade ani yie.
19 And ye shall sacrifice one buck of the goats for a sin-offering, and two he-lambs, yearlings, for a sacrifice of peace-offering.
Mode ɔpapo baako bɛbɔ bɔne afɔdeɛ. Na mode nnwammaa mmienu a wɔn mu biara adi afe no abɔ asomdwoeɛ afɔdeɛ.
20 And the priest shall wave them with the bread of the first-fruits as a wave-offering before Jehovah, with the two he-lambs; they shall be holy to Jehovah, for the priest.
Asɔfoɔ no bɛhim saa afɔrebɔdeɛ yi ne burodo mmienu a ɛsi mo mfudeɛ a ɛdi akyire no ananmu no wɔ Awurade anim. Ɛyɛ kronkron ma Awurade na wɔde bɛma asɔfoɔ no sɛ wɔn aduane.
21 And ye shall make proclamation on that same day — a holy convocation shall it be unto you: no manner of servile work shall ye do: [it is] an everlasting statute in all your dwellings throughout your generations.
Ɛda no, ɛsɛ sɛ mobɔ nhyiamu kronkron ho dawuro, na monnyɛ adwuma biara. Yei bɛyɛ ahyɛdeɛ a ɛbɛtena hɔ daa ama awoɔ ntoatoasoɔ a ɛbɛba no wɔ baabiara a mobɛtena.
22 And when ye reap the harvest of your land, thou shalt not in thy harvest entirely reap the corners of thy field, and the gleaning of thy harvest shalt thou not gather: thou shalt leave them unto the poor and to the stranger: I am Jehovah your God.
“‘Sɛ motwa mo mfuo mu nnɔbaeɛ a, monntwa ntu aseɛ nnɔbaeɛ no, na deɛ aporo agu fam no nso, monntase. Monnya mma ahiafoɔ ne ahɔhoɔ a wɔte mo mu a wɔnni asase bi a wɔdidi so no. Mene Awurade mo Onyankopɔn!’”
23 And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose sɛ,
24 Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, In the seventh month, on the first of the month, shall ye have a rest, a memorial of blowing of trumpets, a holy convocation.
“Ka kyerɛ Israelfoɔ sɛ: ‘Ɔbosome a ɛtɔ so nson no ɛda a ɛdi ɛkan no, ɛsɛ sɛ mohome ɛda no, na moyɛ nhyiamu kronkron na mohyɛn totorobɛnto dendeenden de kae.
25 No manner of servile work shall ye do; and ye shall present an offering by fire to Jehovah.
Saa ɛda no, obiara nni ho ɛkwan sɛ ɔyɛ adwuma, na mmom, mommɔ ogya so afɔdeɛ mma Awurade.’”
26 And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose sɛ,
27 Also on the tenth of this seventh month is the day of the atonement: a holy convocation shall it be unto you; and ye shall afflict your souls, and present an offering by fire to Jehovah.
“Saa bosome a ɛtɔ so nson yi ɛda a ɛtɔ so edu ne Mpata Ɛda no. Monyɛ nhyiamu kronkron, monni abuada na mommɔ ogya so afɔdeɛ mma Awurade
28 And ye shall do no manner of work on that same day; for it is a day of atonement, to make atonement for you before Jehovah your God.
Monnyɛ adwuma biara saa ɛda no, ɛfiri sɛ, ɛyɛ Mpata Ɛda, ɛberɛ a wɔpata ma mo wɔ Awurade mo Onyankopɔn anim.
29 For every soul that is not afflicted on that same day, shall be cut off from among his peoples.
Obiara a wanni ɛda no ahonu ne awerɛhoɔ so wɔ ne bɔne ho no, wɔbɛyi no afiri ne nkurɔfoɔ mu.
30 And every soul that doeth any manner of work on that same day, the same soul will I destroy from among his people.
Obiara a ɔbɛyɛ adwuma saa ɛda no, mɛsɛe no.
31 No manner of work shall ye do: [it is] an everlasting statute throughout your generations in all your dwellings.
Monnyɛ adwuma biara koraa. Yei bɛyɛ ahyɛdeɛ a ɛbɛtena hɔ daa ama awoɔ ntoatoasoɔ a ɛbɛba no, wɔ baabiara a mobɛtena.
32 A sabbath of rest shall it be unto you; and ye shall afflict your souls. On the ninth of the month at even, from even unto even, shall ye celebrate your sabbath.
Ɛyɛ Homeda a wɔde home ma mo. Ɛsɛ sɛ mobrɛ mo kra ase. Ɛfiri ɛda a ɛtɔ so nkron kɔsi ɛda edu no anwummerɛ no, ɛsɛ sɛ modi mo Homeda.”
33 And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose sɛ,
34 Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, On the fifteenth day of this seventh month is the feast of booths seven days to Jehovah.
“Ka kyerɛ Israelfoɔ sɛ, ‘Bosome a ɛtɔ so nson no ɛda a ɛtɔ so dunum no, wɔnhyɛ Awurade Asese Afahyɛ no ase, na mode nnanson na ɛbɛdi.
35 On the first day there shall be a holy convocation: no manner of servile work shall ye do.
Ɛda a ɛdi ɛkan no yɛ nhyiamu kronkron ɛda; monnyɛ adwuma biara.
36 Seven days ye shall present an offering by fire to Jehovah; on the eighth day shall be a holy convocation unto you; and ye shall present an offering by fire to Jehovah: it is a solemn assembly; no manner of servile work shall ye do.
Ɛda biara wɔ nnanson no mu, ɛsɛ sɛ mobɔ ogya so afɔdeɛ ma Awurade. Ɛda a ɛtɔ so nwɔtwe no, mobɛyɛ nhyiamu kronkron na moabɔ ogya so afɔdeɛ ama Awurade. Ɛyɛ nhyiamu a ɛtwa toɔ. Monnyɛ adwuma biara.
37 These are the set feasts of Jehovah, which ye shall proclaim as holy convocations, to present an offering by fire to Jehovah, a burnt-offering, and an oblation, a sacrifice, and drink-offerings, everything upon its day;
“‘Yeinom ne afahyɛ ahodoɔ a Awurade ahyehyɛ sɛ mommɔ ho dawuro sɛ ɛyɛ nhyiamu kronkron a wɔde afɔrebɔdeɛ a wɔhye no ogya so ma Awurade no ba: ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ ne aduane afɔdeɛ, afɔrebɔdeɛ ahodoɔ ne nsã afɔrebɔdeɛ a ɛho hia ɛda biara.
38 besides the sabbaths of Jehovah, and besides your gifts, and besides all your vows, and besides all your voluntary offerings, which ye give to Jehovah.
Monni saa afahyɛ yi nka Awurade Homeda no ho. Na mode saa afɔrebɔdeɛ nso bɛka mo ankasa ayɛyɛdeɛ, ɛbɔ a moahyɛ ne deɛ mofiri mo pɛ mu de ma Awurade ho.
39 But on the fifteenth day of the seventh month, when ye have gathered in the produce of the land, ye shall celebrate the feast of Jehovah seven days: on the first day there shall be rest, and on the eighth day there shall be rest.
“‘Enti ɛfiri bosome a ɛtɔ so nson no ɛda a ɔtɔ so dunum no a moatwa asase no so nnɔbaeɛ no, momfa nnanson nni afahyɛ mma Awurade. Ɛda a ɛdi ɛkan ne deɛ ɛtɔ so nnwɔtwe yɛ ahomegyeɛ nna.
40 And ye shall take on the first day the fruit of beautiful trees, palm branches and the boughs of leafy trees, and willows of the brook; and ye shall rejoice before Jehovah your God seven days.
Ɛda a ɛdi ɛkan no, montwitwa nnuaba mman a aba wɔ so, ne mmerɛnkɛnsono ne mman a nhahan wɔ so na momfa mmɔ asese na momma mo ani nnye wɔ mo Awurade Onyankopɔn anim nnanson.
41 And ye shall celebrate it as a feast to Jehovah seven days in the year: [it is] an everlasting statute throughout your generations; in the seventh month shall ye celebrate it.
Ɛsɛ sɛ saa afe biara mu nnanson adidie mmara yi tena hɔ daa firi awoɔ ntoatoasoɔ so kɔsi awoɔ ntoatoasoɔ so.
42 In booths shall ye dwell seven days; all born in Israel shall dwell in booths;
Saa nnanson no mu, mo a moyɛ Israelfoɔ mma no, ɛsɛ sɛ motena asese no ase.
43 that your generations may know that I caused the children of Israel to dwell in booths, when I brought them out of the land of Egypt: I am Jehovah your God.
Nkyerɛaseɛ a ɛwɔ mu ara ne sɛ, ɛkae Israelfoɔ no firi awoɔ ntoatoasoɔ so kɔsi awoɔ ntoatoasoɔ so sɛ, me na megyee mo firii Misraim ma mobɛtenaa asese ase. Mene Awurade mo Onyankopɔn.’”
44 And Moses declared the set feasts of Jehovah to the children of Israel.
Yeinom ne Awurade afahyɛ ahodoɔ a wahyehyɛ a Mose ka kyerɛɛ Israelfoɔ no. Enti, Mose kyerɛɛ afahyɛ ahodoɔ a Israelfoɔ no bɛbɔ ama Awurade.
