Numbers 6

1 The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

Awurade san ka kyerɛɛ Mose se,

2 "Speak to the children of Israel, and tell them: When either man or woman shall make a special vow, the vow of a Nazirite, to separate himself to the LORD,

“Ka kyerɛ Israelfo no se, sɛ ɔbarima anaa ɔbea kɔyɛ Nasareni de tew ne ho wɔ Awurade anim a,

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

ɛno akyi, saa bere a ɔwɔ ahotew no mu no, onni ho kwan sɛ ɔnom nsa a ɛyɛ den anaa bobesa anaa nsa a emu kaw.

4 All the days of his separation he shall eat nothing that is made of the grapevine, from the seeds even to the skins.

Saa bere no mu no, onni ho kwan sɛ odi biribiara a efi bobe mu, sɛ ɛyɛ nʼaba anaa ne hono.

5 "All the days of his vow of separation there shall no razor come on his head, until the days are fulfilled, in which he separates himself to the LORD. He shall be holy. He shall let the locks of the hair of his head grow long.

“Saa bere no mu no, ɛnsɛ sɛ oyi ne tinwi, efisɛ ɔyɛ kronkron na wɔatew ne ho ama Awurade; ɛno nti na ɛsɛ sɛ ɔma ne tinwi fuw no.

6 "All the days that he separates himself to the LORD he shall not go near a dead body.

“Ne bɔhyɛ no nna no mu a watew ne ho ama Awurade no, onni ho kwan sɛ ɔkɔ owufo ho.

7 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 to God is on his head.

Sɛ owufo no yɛ nʼagya, ne na, ne nuabarima anaa ne nuabea koraa a, ɔnnkɔ ne ho, efisɛ ɔda so hyɛ ne bɔ a ɔhyɛ de tew ne ho maa Onyankopɔn no ase.

8 All the days of his separation he is holy to the LORD.

Saa bere no mu nyinaa, wɔatew ne ho ama Awurade.

9 "If any man dies very suddenly beside him, and he defiles the head of his separation; then he shall shave his head in the day of his cleansing. On the seventh day he shall shave it.

“Sɛ obi wu tɔ ne nkyɛn de gu ne ho fi a, nnanson akyi no, ɛsɛ sɛ oyi ne tinwi a ɛho agu fi no. Afei, wobedwira ne ho afi fi a owufo no de aka no no ho.

10 On the eighth day he shall bring two turtledoves or two young pigeons to the priest, to the door of the Tent of Meeting.

Nʼadekyee a ɛyɛ da a ɛto so awotwe no, ɛsɛ sɛ ɔde nturukuku abien anaa mmorɔnoma mma abien brɛ ɔsɔfo wɔ Ahyiae Ntamadan no kwan ano.

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

Ɔsɔfo no de nnomaa no mu baako bɛbɔ bɔne ho afɔre na ɔde ɔbaako abɔ ɔhyew afɔre, na ayɛ mpata ama nea ne ho agu fi no. Na da no ara, ɛsɛ sɛ oti ne bɔhyɛ mu na ɔsan ma ne tinwi no fuw bio.

12 He shall separate to the LORD the days of his separation, and shall bring a male lamb a year old for a trespass offering; but the former days shall be void, because his separation was defiled.

Nna dodow a odii wɔ ne bɔhyɛ a edi kan no mu no nyinaa ahyew agu. Ɔbɛhyɛ Awurade bɔ foforo de afi ase, na ɔde odwennini ba a wadi afe bɛba abɛbɔ afɔdi ho afɔre.

13 "This is the law of the Nazirite: when the days of his separation are fulfilled, he shall be brought to the door of the Tent of Meeting,

“Da a ne bɔhyɛ a ɛtew ɔno ne Awurade ntam no wie du no, ɛsɛ sɛ ɔkɔ Ahyiae Ntamadan no ano.

14 and he shall offer his offering to the LORD, one male 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,

Ɛhɔ na ɔbɛbɔ ɔhyew afɔre ama Awurade. Ɔde oguan ba a wadi afe a onnii dɛm na ɛbɛbɔ saa afɔre no. Ɛsɛ sɛ ɔde oguammere a wadi afe a onnii dɛm bɔ bɔne ho afɔre na ɔde odwennini a onnii dɛm bɔ asomdwoe afɔre.

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

Nneɛma a ɔde bɛka ho no ne brodo a mmɔkaw mfra mu, asikresiam tetare a wɔde ngo afra; brodo ntrantraa bi a mmɔkaw mfra mu a wɔde ngo ayɛ so a aduan ne nsa afɔrebɔde ka ho.

16 The priest shall present them before the LORD, and shall offer his sin offering, and his burnt offering.

“Ɛsɛ sɛ Ɔsɔfo no de saa afɔrebɔde yi nyinaa ba Awurade anim na wabɛbɔ bɔne ho afɔre ne ɔhyew afɔre.

17 He shall offer the ram for a sacrifice of peace offerings to the LORD, with the basket of unleavened bread. The priest shall offer also its meal offering, and its drink offering.

Ɛsɛ sɛ ɔde odwennini a wɔde no bɛbɔ asomdwoe afɔre a brodo kɛntɛnma a mmɔkaw nni mu nso ka ho na ɔde abɛbɔ aduan ne nsa afɔre.

18 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.

“Afei, ɔhotuafo no beyi ne tinwi a afuw kuhaa no; ɛno ne nsɛnkyerɛnne a ɛkyerɛ sɛ ɔnhyɛ bɔhyɛ no ase bio. Wɔbɛyɛ eyi wɔ Ahyiae Ntamadan no ano, na wɔde nwi no agu asomdwoe afɔre a wɔrebɔ no wɔ gya mu no ahyew no.

19 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 on the hands of the Nazirite, after he has shaved the head of his separation;

“Wɔayi ɔbarima no tinwi no awie no, ɔsɔfo no de odwennini no basa a wɔatoto tetare a mmɔkaw nni mu no baako ne brodo ntrantraa a mmɔkaw nni mu bɛhyɛ ɔbarima no nsam.

20 and the priest shall wave them for a wave offering before the LORD. This is holy for the priest, together with the breast that is waved and the thigh that is offered. After that the Nazirite may drink wine.

Ɔsɔfo no behim akɔ nʼanim aba nʼakyi wɔ Awurade anim a ɛkyerɛ ma a ɔde rema Awurade. Ne nyinaa yɛ kyɛfa a ɛho tew ma ɔsɔfo no. Wɔbɛyɛ no sɛnea wɔyɛ odwennini no basa mu mfe mparow a wohim no wɔ Awurade anim no. Eyi akyi no, ɔhotuafo no tumi nom bobesa a ɛkyerɛ sɛ wɔayi no afi ne bɔhyɛ no mu.

21 "This is the law of the Nazirite who vows, and of his offering to the LORD for his separation, besides that which he is able to get. According to his vow which he vows, so he must do after the law of his separation."

“Eyinom ne mmara a ɛda hɔ ma Nasareni a wahyɛ nʼahofama ho bɔ awie, na ɔde afɔrebɔ ahorow brɛ Awurade. Saa afɔrebɔ yi akyi no, otumi de afɔrebɔde biara a ɔrebɛyɛ Nasareni no, ɔhyɛɛ ho bɔ sɛ ɔde bɛba no ba.”

22 The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

Afei, Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose se,

23 "Speak to Aaron and to his sons, saying, 'This is how you shall bless the children of Israel.' You shall tell them,

“Ka kyerɛ Aaron ne ne mmabarima no se, ɛsɛ sɛ wohyira Israelfo yi sononko sɛ:

24 'The LORD bless you, and keep you.

“‘Awurade nhyira mo na ɔnhwɛ mo so.

25 The LORD make his face to shine on you, and be gracious to you.

Awurade ntew nʼanim nkyerɛ mo na ɔnnom mo.

26 The LORD lift up his face toward you, and give you peace.'

Awurade mma nʼani so nhwɛ mo na ɔmma mo asomdwoe.’

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

“Saa na ɛsɛ sɛ Aaron ne ne mmabarima hyira Israelfo, na mʼankasa nso mehyira wɔn.”
