Numbers 5

1 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

Eyi ne mmara a Awurade san hyɛ maa Mose:

2 Command the children of Israel, that they put out of the camp every leper, and every one that hath an issue, and whoever is defiled by the dead:

“Ka kyerɛ Israelfo no se, ɛsɛ sɛ wɔpam akwatafo nyinaa fi atenae hɔ. Wɔn a kuru atutu wɔn ne wɔn a wɔde wɔn nsa akɔka funu nti wɔn ho agu fi nyinaa no, ɛsɛ sɛ wɔpam wɔn.

3 Both male and female shall ye put out, outside the camp shall ye put them; that they defile not their camps, in the midst of which I dwell.

Mmarima ne mmea nyinaa ka ho. Yi wɔn nyinaa fi hɔ, sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ na atenae a me ne mo bɛtena no ho rengu fi.”

4 And the children of Israel did so, and put them out outside the camp: as the LORD spoke to Moses, so did the children of Israel.

Wodii Awurade mmara no so.

5 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

Afei, Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose se,

6 Speak to the children of Israel, When a man or woman shall commit any sin that men commit, to do a trespass against the LORD, and that person shall be guilty;

“Ka kyerɛ Israelfo no se, sɛ ɔbarima o, ɔbea o, odi Awurade huammɔ a, ɛyɛ bɔne.

7 Then they shall confess their sin which they have done: and he shall recompense his trespass with the principal of it, and add to it the fifth part of it, and give it to him against whom he hath trespassed.

Ɛsɛ sɛ ɔka ne bɔne na ade a owiae no, otua ho ka nyinaa na ɔsan de ɛho ka no nkyɛmu ɔha mu aduonu ka ho de ma onipa ko a ɔbɔɔ no korɔn no.

8 But if the man shall have no kinsman to recompense the trespass to, let the trespass be recompensed to the LORD, even to the priest; besides the ram of the atonement, by which an atonement shall be made for him.

Na sɛ onipa ko a wɔyɛɛ no bɔne no awu na onni obusuani biara a ɔbɛn no a wobetua ho ka ama no, na ɛsɛ sɛ wotua ma ɔsɔfo a, ɛsɛ sɛ wɔde odwennini ka ho sɛ mpatade. Ɛyɛ Awurade de.

9 And every offering of all the holy things of the children of Israel, which they bring to the priest, shall be his.

Akyɛde kronkron a Israelfo de bɛkyɛ ɔsɔfo no yɛ ne de.

10 And every man’s hallowed things shall be his: whatever any man giveth to the priest, it shall be his.

Ɔsɔfo biara bɛfa akyɛde kronkron biara a ne nsa bɛka.”

11 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose se,

12 Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them, If any man’s wife shall go astray, and commit a trespass against him,

“Ka kyerɛ Israelfo no se, sɛ ɔbarima bi yere kɔbɔ aguaman

13 And a man shall lie with her carnally, and it shall be hid from the eyes of her husband, and be kept secret, and she be defiled, and there be no witness against her, neither she be taken with the manner;

nanso onhu asɛm no mu nokware na onya ɔdanseni

14 And the spirit of jealousy shall come upon him, and he be jealous of his wife, and she be defiled: or if the spirit of jealousy shall come upon him, and he be jealous of his wife, and she be not defiled:

na ɔtwe ho ninkunu na ɔnte ne ho ase a,

15 Then shall the man bring his wife to the priest, and he shall bring her offering for her, the tenth part of an ephah of barley meal; he shall pour no oil upon it, nor put frankincense on it; for it is an offering of jealousy, an offering of memorial, bringing iniquity to remembrance.

ɔbarima no de ne yere no bɛkɔ ɔsɔfo anim a ɔbea no ho afɔrebɔde a ɛyɛ atokosiam a wɔmfaa ohuam ngo mfrae lita abien ka ho. Efisɛ ɛyɛ ninkutwe afɔrebɔ. Ɛno na ɛbɛma nokware ada adi ama wɔahu sɛ ɔbea no di fɔ anaa odi bem.

16 And the priest shall bring her near, and set her before the LORD:

“Ɔsɔfo no de ɔbea no bɛba Awurade anim,

17 And the priest shall take holy water in an earthen vessel; and of the dust that is on the floor of the tabernacle the priest shall take, and put it into the water:

na wasaw Ahyiae Ntamadan no mu mfutuma de afra nsu kronkron a egu asuhina kɛse bi mu no.

18 And the priest shall set the woman before the LORD, and uncover the woman’s head, and put the offering of memorial in her hands, which is the jealousy offering: and the priest shall have in his hand the bitter water that causeth the curse:

Ɔbɛsan ne ti a wakyekyere no na ɔde ninkunu afɔrebɔde no agu ne nsam de ahwɛ sɛ ɔbarima no nsusuwii no yɛ nokware ampa ara anaasɛ ɛnyɛ nokware. Ɔsɔfo no begyina nʼanim a okura nsu nwenweenwen a ɛde mmusu ba no.

19 And the priest shall charge her by an oath, and say to the woman, If no man hath lain with thee, and if thou hast not gone aside to uncleanness with another instead of thy husband, be thou free from this bitter water that causeth the curse:

Ɔbɛma no aka ntam sɛ onnim asɛm no ho hwee na waka akyerɛ no se, sɛ wo ne ɔbarima biara nnae ka wo kunu nko ara ho de a, ɛno de, wo ho ntew mfi nsu nwenweenwen a ɛde mmusu ba yi ho. Na sɛ woabɔ aguaman a, ɛno de, Awurade bɛdome wo wɔ wo nkurɔfo mu. Ɔbɛma wo srɛ aporɔw na wo yafunu ahon. Na ɔbea no bɛka se, ‘Yiw, saa na ɛsɛ sɛ ɛba.’

20 But if thou hast gone aside to another instead of thy husband, and if thou art defiled, and some man hath lain with thee besides thy husband:

21 Then the priest shall charge the woman with an oath of cursing, and the priest shall say to the woman, The LORD make thee a curse and an oath among thy people, when the LORD doth make thy thigh to perish, and thy belly to swell;

22 And this water that causeth the curse shall go into thy bowels, to make thy belly to swell, and thy thigh to perish: And the woman shall say, Amen, amen.

23 And the priest shall write these curses in a book, and he shall blot them out with the bitter water:

“Ɔsɔfo no bɛkyerɛw nnome yi nyinaa agu nhoma bi mu na wahohoro agu nsu nwenweenwen no mu.

24 And he shall cause the woman to drink the bitter water that causeth the curse: and the water that causeth the curse shall enter into her, and become bitter.

Sɛ ɛsɛ sɛ ɔbea no nom nsu no na sɛ ɔnom wɔ bere a wayɛ bɔne a, ɛyɛ nwenweenwen wɔ ne mu.

25 Then the priest shall take the jealousy offering out of the woman’s hand, and shall wave the offering before the LORD, and offer it upon the altar:

Afei, ɔsɔfo no begye ninkunu afɔrebɔde no afi ɔbea no nsam na wahinhim wɔ Awurade anim na ɔde akɔ afɔremuka no so.

26 And the priest shall take an handful of the offering, even the memorial of it, and burn it upon the altar, and afterward shall cause the woman to drink the water.

Ɔbɛsaw ne nsa ma de asi ne nyinaa anan na wahyew no wɔ afɔremuka no so na wama ɔbea no anom nsu no.

27 And when he hath made her to drink the water, then it shall come to pass, that, if she is defiled, and hath done trespass against her husband, that the water that causeth the curse shall enter into her, and become bitter, and her belly shall swell, and her thigh shall perish: and the woman shall be a curse among her people.

Sɛ ne ho agu fi na wabɔ aguaman atia ne kunu a, nsu a wanom no bɛyɛ nwenweenwen wɔ ne mu na ne yafunu ahon na ne srɛ aporɔw na wayɛ nnome wɔ ne nkurɔfo mu.

28 And if the woman is not defiled, but is clean; then she shall be free, and shall conceive seed.

Sɛ ɔyɛ kronkron a ɔmmɔɔ aguaman a, wɔrenhaw no, na ɛrenkyɛ, obenyinsɛn.

29 This is the law of jealousies, when a wife goeth astray to another instead of her husband, and is defiled;

“Eyi ne mmara a ɛfa ɔbea a ne bra nye na ne kunu twe ne ho ninkunu

30 Or when the spirit of jealousy cometh upon him, and he is jealous over his wife, and shall set the woman before the LORD, and the priest shall execute upon her all this law.

de hwehwɛ mu hu sɛ odi ne kunu nokware anaa onni no nokware no ho. Ɔde no bɛba Awurade anim na ɔsɔfo no adi dwuma a wɔabobɔ so no nyinaa.

31 Then shall the man be guiltless from iniquity, and this woman shall bear her iniquity.

Wɔrenni ne kunu no asɛm wɔ baabiara sɛ wama ɔyare bɔne bi aba ne yere so, efisɛ ɛyɛ ɔno ara na ɔma ɛbaa saa.”
