Leviticus 23
1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose se,
2 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, The set feasts of the LORD, which ye shall proclaim to be holy convocations, even these are my set feasts.
“Ma Israelfo nte sɛ, ‘Eyinom ne mʼafahyɛ ahorow a mahyehyɛ, Awurade afahyɛ ahorow no a ɛsɛ sɛ mudi no sɛ nhyiamu kronkron.
3 Six days shall work be done: but on the seventh day is a sabbath of solemn rest, an holy convocation; ye shall do no manner of work: it is a sabbath unto the LORD in all your dwellings.
“‘Mowɔ nnansia a mode yɛ adwuma, na da a ɛto so ason no yɛ Homeda a mode home, da a moyɛ nhyiamu kronkron. Ɛnsɛ sɛ moyɛ adwuma biara wɔ faako a mote. Ɛyɛ Homeda ma Awurade.
4 These are the set feasts of the LORD, even holy convocations, which ye shall proclaim in their appointed season.
“‘Eyinom ne Awurade aponto, nhyiamu kronkron a ɛsɛ sɛ mobɔ bere a wɔahyɛ no ho dawuru:
5 In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month at even, is the LORD’S passover.
Wofi Awurade Twam Afahyɛ no ase wɔ ɔsram a edi kan no da ɛto so dunan no anwummere.
6 And on the fifteenth day of the same month is the feast of unleavened bread unto the LORD: seven days ye shall eat unleavened bread.
Awurade Apiti Afahyɛ nso, wofi ase saa ɔsram no da a ɛto so dunum; na mubedi apiti nnanson.
7 In the first day ye shall have an holy convocation: ye shall do no servile work.
Afahyɛ no da a edi kan no, nnipa no nyinaa bɛbɔ ahotew gua na obiara renyɛ adwuma a ɛyɛ den biara.
8 But ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD seven days: in the seventh day is an holy convocation; ye shall do no servile work.
Nnanson no mu no, mommɔ ɔhyew afɔre mma Awurade da biara. Na da a ɛto so ason no, mobɛyɛ nhyiamu kronkron a obiara renyɛ adwuma.’”
9 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose se,
10 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye be come into the land which I give unto you, and shall reap the harvest thereof, then ye shall bring the sheaf of the firstfruits of your harvest unto the priest:
“Kasa kyerɛ Israelfo no se, ‘Sɛ mudu asase a mede bɛma mo no so na mutwa mo nnɔbae a, momfa nnɔbae afiafi no mu baako nkɔma ɔsɔfo.
11 and he shall wave the sheaf before the LORD, to be accepted for you: on the morrow after the sabbath the priest shall wave it.
Obehim no wɔ Awurade anim de akyerɛ sɛ ɔde rema no na Awurade begye sɛ mo akyɛde.
12 And in the day when ye wave the sheaf, ye shall offer a he-lamb without blemish of the first year for a burnt offering unto the LORD.
Da no ara, mode odwennini a wadi afe a onnii dɛm bɛbɔ Awurade ɔhyew afɔre,
13 And the meal offering thereof shall be two tenth parts [of an ephah] of fine flour mingled with oil, an offering made by fire unto the LORD for a sweet savour: and the drink offering thereof shall be of wine, the fourth part of an hin.
ne nʼaduan afɔrebɔde a ɛyɛ esiam kilogram abiɛsa a wɔde ngo afra. Ɛbɛyɛ ɔhyew afɔre a eyi hua dɛdɛ ma Awurade. Wɔde nsa lita anan ne fa afɔrebɔde bɛka ho.
14 And ye shall eat neither bread, nor parched corn, nor fresh ears, until this selfsame day, until ye have brought the oblation of your God: it is a statute for ever throughout your generations in all your dwellings.
Ɛnsɛ sɛ mudi brodo biara, sɛ ɛyɛ aduan a wɔato anaa ɛyɛ foforo, kosi da a mode saa afɔrebɔde yi bɛbrɛ mo Nyankopɔn. Eyi bɛyɛ ahyɛde a ɛbɛtena hɔ daa ama awo ntoatoaso a ɛbɛba no wɔ baabiara a mobɛtena.
15 And ye shall count unto you from the morrow after the sabbath, from the day that ye brought the sheaf of the wave offering; seven sabbaths shall there be complete:
“‘Homeda no akyi da a edi kan a wɔmaa atoko afiafi mu baako so him no Awurade anim sɛ afɔrebɔde no, mubefi ase abubu nnaawɔtwe ason.
16 even unto the morrow after the seventh sabbath shall ye number fifty days; and ye shall offer a new meal offering unto the LORD.
Monkan adaduonum a ekosi homeda a ɛto so ason no akyi da koro na momfa atoko foforo mmɛbɔ afɔre mma Awurade.
17 Ye shall bring out of your habitations two wave loaves of two tenth parts [of an ephah]: they shall be of fine flour, they shall be baken with leaven, for firstfruits unto the LORD.
Eyi bɛyɛ brodo abien a mode befi mo afi mu bɛba. Na wobehim no wɔ Awurade anim sɛ afɔrebɔ no. Momfa asikresiam lita anan a wɔde mmɔkaw afra nto saa brodo yi. Ɛyɛ mo aduan a edi kan afɔrebɔde a mode rema Awurade.
18 And ye shall present with the bread seven lambs without blemish of the first year, and one young bullock, and two rams: they shall be a burnt offering unto the LORD, with their meal offering, and their drink offerings, even an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the LORD.
Mode brodo ne nsa bɛka nguamma ason a wɔadi afe a dɛm biara nni wɔn ho ne nantwi ba baako ne adwennini abien ho abɔ ɔhyew afɔre ama Awurade. Eyinom nyinaa yɛ ogya afɔrebɔde a ɛsɔ Awurade ani yiye.
19 And ye shall offer one he-goat for a sin offering, and two he-lambs of the first year for a sacrifice of peace offerings.
Mode ɔpapo baako bɛbɔ bɔne afɔre. Na mode nguantenmma abien a wɔn mu biara adi afe no abɔ asomdwoe afɔre.
20 And the priest shall wave them with the bread of the firstfruits for a wave offering before the LORD, with the two lambs: they shall be holy to the LORD for the priest.
Asɔfo no behim saa afɔrebɔde yi ne brodo abien a esi mo nnɔbae a edi akyi no anan mu no wɔ Awurade anim. Ɛyɛ kronkron ma Awurade na wɔde bɛma asɔfo no sɛ wɔn aduan.
21 And ye shall make proclamation on the selfsame day; there shall be an holy convocation unto you: ye shall do no servile work: it is a statute for ever in all your dwellings throughout your generations.
Da no, ɛsɛ sɛ mobɔ nhyiamu kronkron no ho dawuru, na monnyɛ adwuma biara. Eyi bɛyɛ ahyɛde a ɛbɛtena hɔ daa ama awo ntoatoaso a ɛbɛba no wɔ baabiara a mobɛtena.
22 And when ye reap the harvest of your land, thou shalt not wholly reap the corners of thy field, neither shalt thou gather the gleaning of thy harvest: thou shalt leave them for the poor, and for the stranger: I am the LORD your God.
“‘Sɛ mutwa mo mfuw mu nnɔbae a, munntwa ntu nnɔbae no ase, na nea aporow agu fam no nso, monntase. Munnyaw mma ahiafo ne ahɔho a wɔte mo mu a wonni asase bi a wodidi so no. Mene Awurade mo Nyankopɔn!’”
23 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose se,
24 Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, In the seventh month, in the first day of the month, shall be a solemn rest unto you, a memorial of blowing of trumpets, an holy convocation.
“Ka kyerɛ Israelfo se, ‘Ɔsram a ɛto so ason no da a edi kan no, ɛsɛ sɛ mohome da no, na moyɛ nhyiamu kronkron na mohyɛn torobɛnto denneennen de kae.
25 Ye shall do no servile work: and ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD.
Saa da no, obiara nni ho kwan sɛ ɔyɛ adwuma, na mmom, mommɔ ogya so afɔre mma Awurade.’”
26 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose se,
27 Howbeit on the tenth day of this seventh month is the day of atonement: it shall be an holy convocation unto you, and ye shall afflict your souls; and ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD.
“Saa ɔsram a ɛto so ason yi da a ɛto so du ne Mpata Da no. Monyɛ nhyiamu kronkron, munni abuada na mommɔ ogya so afɔre mma Awurade
28 And ye shall do no manner of work in that same day: for it is a day of atonement, to make atonement for you before the LORD your God.
Monnyɛ adwuma biara saa da no, efisɛ ɛyɛ Mpata Da, bere a wɔpata ma mo wɔ Awurade mo Nyankopɔn anim.
29 For whatsoever soul it be that shall not be afflicted in that same day, he shall be cut off from his people.
Obiara a wanni da no ahonu ne awerɛhow so wɔ ne bɔne ho no, wobeyi no afi ne nkurɔfo mu.
30 And whatsoever soul it be that doeth any manner of work in that same day, that soul will I destroy from among his people.
Obiara a ɔbɛyɛ adwuma saa da no mɛsɛe no.
31 Ye shall do no manner of work: it is a statute for ever throughout your generations in all your dwellings.
Monnyɛ adwuma biara koraa. Eyi bɛyɛ ahyɛde a ɛbɛtena hɔ daa ama awo ntoatoaso a ɛbɛba no wɔ baabiara a mobɛtena.
32 It shall be unto you a sabbath of solemn rest, and ye shall afflict your souls: in the ninth day of the month at even, from even unto even, shall ye keep your sabbath.
Ɛyɛ Homeda a wɔde home ma mo. Ɛsɛ sɛ mobrɛ mo kra ase. Efi da a ɛto so akron kosi da a ɛto so du no anwummere no, ɛsɛ sɛ mudi mo Homeda.”
33 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose se,
34 Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, On the fifteenth day of this seventh month is the feast of tabernacles for seven days unto the LORD.
“Ka kyerɛ Israelfo se, ‘Ɔsram a ɛto so ason no da a ɛto so dunum no, wɔnhyɛ Awurade Asese Afahyɛ no ase, na mode nnanson na ebedi.
35 On the first day shall be an holy convocation: ye shall do no servile work.
Da a edi kan no yɛ nhyiamu kronkron da; monnyɛ adwuma biara.
36 Seven days ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD: on the eighth day shall be an holy convocation unto you; and ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD: it is a solemn assembly; ye shall do no servile work.
Da biara wɔ nnanson no mu no, ɛsɛ sɛ mobɔ ogya so afɔre ma Awurade. Da a ɛto so awotwe no, mobɛyɛ nhyiamu kronkron na moabɔ ogya so afɔre ama Awurade. Ɛyɛ nhyiamu a etwa to. Monnyɛ adwuma biara.
37 These are the set feasts of the LORD, which ye shall proclaim to be holy convocations, to offer an offering made by fire unto the LORD, a burnt offering, and a meal offering, a sacrifice, and drink offerings, each on its own day:
“‘Eyinom ne afahyɛ ahorow a Awurade ahyehyɛ sɛ mommɔ ho dawuru sɛ ɛyɛ nhyiamu kronkron a wɔde afɔrebɔde a wɔhyew no ogya so ma Awurade no ba: ɔhyew afɔre ne aduan afɔre, afɔrebɔde ahorow ne nsa afɔrebɔde a ɛho hia da biara.
38 beside the sabbaths of the LORD, and beside your gifts, and beside all your vows, and beside all your freewill offerings, which ye give unto the LORD.
Munni saa afahyɛ yi nka Awurade Homeda no ho. Na mode saa afɔrebɔde nso bɛka mo ankasa ayɛyɛde, bɔ a moahyɛ ne nea mufi mo pɛ mu de ma Awurade ho.
39 Howbeit on the fifteenth day of the seventh month, when ye have gathered in the fruits of the land, ye shall keep the feast of the LORD seven days: on the first day shall be a solemn rest, and on the eighth day shall be a solemn rest.
“‘Enti efi ɔsram a ɛto so ason no da a ɛto so dunum no a moatwa asase no so nnɔbae no, momfa nnanson nni afahyɛ mma Awurade. Da a edi kan ne nea ɛto so awotwe yɛ ahomegyenna.
40 And ye shall take you on the first day the fruit of goodly trees, branches of palm trees, and boughs of thick trees, and willows of the brook; and ye shall rejoice before the LORD your God seven days.
Da a edi kan no, muntwitwa nnuaba mman a aba wɔ so, ne mmerɛnkɛnsono ne mman a nhaban wɔ so na momfa mmɔ asese na momma mo ani nnye wɔ mo Awurade Nyankopɔn anim nnanson.
41 And ye shall keep it a feast unto the LORD seven days in the year: it is a statute for ever in your generations: ye shall keep it in the seventh month.
Ɛsɛ sɛ saa afe biara mu nnanson adidi mmara yi tena hɔ daa wɔ awo ntoatoaso nyinaa mu.
42 Ye shall dwell in booths seven days; all that are homeborn in Israel shall dwell in booths:
Saa nnanson no mu no, mo a moyɛ Israelfo mma no, ɛsɛ sɛ motena asese no ase.
43 that your generations may know that I made the children of Israel to dwell in booths, when I brought them out of the land of Egypt: I am the LORD your God.
Nkyerɛase a ɛwɔ mu ara ne sɛ, ɛkae Israelfo no fi awo ntoatoaso so kosi awo ntoatoaso so sɛ, me na migyee mo fii Misraim ma mobɛtenaa asese ase. Mene Awurade mo Nyankopɔn.’”
44 And Moses declared unto the children of Israel the set feasts of the LORD.
Eyinom ne Awurade afahyɛ ahorow a wahyehyɛ a Mose ka kyerɛɛ Israelfo no. Enti Mose kyerɛɛ afahyɛ ahorow a Israelfo no bedi ama Awurade.
