5 Mose 22

1 Sɛ wohunu sɛ obi nantwie anaa sɛ ne dwan nam basabasa a, ɛnyɛ sɛdeɛ wonhunuu no. Kyere no kɔma ne wura.

You shall not see your brother's ox or his sheep go astray, and hide yourself from them: you shall surely bring them again to your brother.

2 Sɛ ne wura nte mmɛn wo, anaasɛ wonnim no a, fa no kɔ wo fie kɔsi sɛ ne wura no bɛba abɛhwehwɛ no na fa nʼaboa ma no.

If your brother isn't near to you, or if you do not know him, then you shall bring it home to your house, and it shall be with you until your brother seek after it, and you shall restore it to him.

3 Sɛ wohunu wo nua bi afunumu anaa ne ntoma anaa ne biribi a ayera wɔ ɛkwan no so a, yɛ no saa ara. Mmu wʼani ngu so.

So you shall do with his donkey; and so you shall do with his garment; and so you shall do with every lost thing of your brother's, which he has lost, and you have found: you may not hide yourself.

4 Sɛ wohunu sɛ wo nua bi afunumu anaa ne nantwie da ɛkwan mu a, nhwɛ nkyɛn. Kɔboa wo yɔnko no na ɔmma aboa no nsɔre.

You shall not see your brother's donkey or his ox fallen down by the way, and hide yourself from them: you shall surely help him to lift them up again.

5 Ɛnsɛ sɛ ɔbaa hyɛ mmarima atadeɛ, saa ara nso na ɛnsɛ sɛ ɔbarima hyɛ mmaa atadeɛ, ɛfiri sɛ, wɔn a wɔyɛ yei yɛ Awurade, mo Onyankopɔn, akyiwadeɛ.

A woman shall not wear men's clothing, neither shall a man put on women's clothing; for whoever does these things is an abomination to the LORD your God.

6 Sɛ wokɔto sɛ anomaa pirebuo da ɛkwankyɛn, sɛ ɛhyɛ dua mu anaa ɛda fam na sɛ anomaa no maame te ne ba no ho anaa ɔbutu nkosua so a, mfa anomaa no maame ne ne ba no nkɔ.

If a bird's nest chance to be before you in the way, in any tree or on the ground, with young ones or eggs, and the hen sitting on the young, or on the eggs, you shall not take the hen with the young:

7 Wotumi fa ne ba no, nanso hwɛ no yie sɛ wobɛma ne maame no akɔ sɛdeɛ ɛbɛsi wo yie, na wo nkwa nna aware.

you shall surely let the hen go, but the young you may take to yourself; that it may be well with you, and that you may prolong your days.

8 Sɛ wosi ɛdan foforɔ a, si ban fa wo ɛdan no atifi ho nyinaa, na obi amfiri hɔ ante anhwe na woamfa mogyahwie ho asodie anto wo ne wo ɛdan no so.

When you build a new house, then you shall make a battlement for your roof, that you do not bring blood on your house, if any man fall from there.

9 Wo bobefuo no, nnua nnɔbaeɛ foforɔ biara wɔ bobe no ntam. Sɛ woyɛ saa a, wonni ho kwan sɛ wote bobe aba wɔ bobefuo no mu anaasɛ nnɔbaeɛ foforɔ no so aba biara.

You shall not sow your vineyard with two kinds of seed, lest the whole fruit be forfeited, the seed which you have sown, and the increase of the vineyard.

10 Mfa nantwie ne afunumu mmɔ mu mfuntum afuo.

You shall not plow with an ox and a donkey together.

11 Mfira ntoma a wɔde kuntu ne serekye afra anwono.

You shall not wear a mixed stuff, wool and linen together.

12 Sɛ wopam atadeɛ a, yɛ mpɛsɛe wɔ nʼahinanan ɛnan no biara ano.

You shall make yourselves fringes on the four borders of your cloak, with which you cover yourself.

13 Sɛ ɔbarima ware ɔbaa na ɔne no da na akyire no, ɔmpɛ no bio,

If any man takes a wife, and goes in to her, and hates her,

14 na enti ɔka ne ho asɛmmɔne, bɔ no edin bɔne sɛ, “Mewaree no no, manhunu sɛ ɔyɛ ɔbaabunu,”

and accuses her of shameful things, and brings up an evil name on her, and says, "I took this woman, and when I came near to her, I did not find in her the tokens of virginity";

15 a, ɔbaa no agya ne ne maame wɔ ho ɛkwan sɛ wɔde adansedie a ɛkyerɛ sɛ wɔn babaa no yɛ ɔbaabunu bɛkyerɛ kuro no mpanimfoɔ wɔ kuro no ɛpono ano.

then shall the father of the young woman, and her mother, take and bring forth the tokens of the young woman's virginity to the elders of the city in the gate;

16 Ɛsɛ sɛ ɔbaa no agya ka kyerɛ wɔn sɛ, “Mede me babaa maa ɔbarima yi awadeɛ nanso ɔse ɔmpɛ no bio.

and the young woman's father shall tell the elders, "I gave my daughter to this man to wife, and he hates her;

17 Wabɔ no kwaadu agu nʼanim ase aka sɛ, ɔwaree no no wahunu sɛ ɔnyɛ ɔbaabunu. Nanso adansedeɛ a ɛkyerɛ sɛ ɔyɛ ɔbaabunu no nie.” Afei, wɔbɛtrɛ ntoma no mu wɔ atemmufoɔ no anim.

and look, he has accused her of shameful things, saying, 'I did not find in your daughter the tokens of virginity;' and yet these are the tokens of my daughter's virginity." They shall spread the cloth before the elders of the city.

18 Atemmufoɔ no bɛtwe ɔbarima no aso.

The elders of that city shall take the man and chastise him;

19 Wɔbɛbɔ no ka dwetɛ kilogram baako sɛ wahyɛ da agu Israel ɔbaabunu no anim ase sɛ ɔnyɛ ɔbaabunu. Wɔbɛtua sika no ama ɔbaa no agya. Afei, ɔbabaa no bɛyɛ ɔbarima no yere a ɔrennyaa no bio.

and they shall fine him one hundred shekels of silver, and give them to the father of the young woman, because he has brought up an evil name on a virgin of Israel: and she shall be his wife; he may not put her away all his days.

20 Sɛ ɛkɔba sɛ kwaadu a wɔde bɔɔ no no yɛ, na wɔannya adansedeɛ a ɛfa ne baabunuyɛ no ho ankyerɛ a,

But if this thing be true, that the tokens of virginity were not found in the young woman;

21 wɔde ɔbaa no bɛba nʼagya fie abɔntenpono ano na kurom hɔ mmarima asi no aboɔ wɔ hɔ akum no. Ɔnam adwamammɔ so ayɛ animguaseɛ bɔne wɔ Israel ɛberɛ a ɔne nʼawofoɔ te. Ɛsɛ sɛ wɔpepa saa bɔne no firi mo mu.

then they shall bring out the young woman to the door of her father's house, and the men of her city shall stone her to death with stones, because she has done folly in Israel, to play the prostitute in her father's house: so you shall put away the evil from the midst of you.

22 Sɛ wɔhunu sɛ ɔbarima bi ne ɔbarima foforɔ bi yere da a, ɛsɛ sɛ wɔkum ɔbarima a ɔne ɔbaa no daeɛ no ne ɔbaa no nyinaa. Ɛsɛ sɛ motu saa bɔne no ase wɔ Israel.

If a man be found lying with a woman married to a husband, then they shall both of them die, the man who lay with the woman, and the woman: so you shall put away the evil from Israel.

23 Sɛ ɔbarima bi hyia ababaawa a ɔyɛ ɔbaabunu a ɔne obi ahyehyɛ awadeɛ na ɔbarima no ne ababaawa no da, na sɛ saa asɛm no sii kuro no mu a,

If there is a young woman who is a virgin pledged to be married to a husband, and a man find her in the city, and lie with her;

24 ɛsɛ sɛ mode wɔn baanu no kɔ kuro no apono ano kɔsi wɔn aboɔ kum wɔn. Ababaawa no di fɔ, ɛfiri sɛ, wɔanteateam ampɛ mmoa. Ɛsɛ sɛ ɔbarima no nso wu, ɛfiri sɛ, wafa obi yere. Saa ɛkwan yi so na monam bɛtu bɔne afiri asase no so.

then you shall bring them both out to the gate of that city, and you shall stone them to death with stones; the woman, because she did not cry, being in the city; and the man, because he has humbled his neighbor's wife: so you shall put away the evil from the midst of you.

25 Sɛ ɔbarima bi hyia ɔbaa a obi ahyehyɛ no awadeɛ wɔ baabi a ɛnyɛ wɔn ɔman mu, na ɔbarima no hyɛ no ne no da a, ɛsɛ sɛ wɔkum saa ɔbarima no.

But if the man find the woman who is pledged to be married in the field, and the man force her, and lie with her; then the man only who lay with her shall die:

26 Monnyɛ ababaawa no biribiara, ɛfiri sɛ, ɔnyɛɛ akunneɛ biara. Saa asɛm yi te sɛ obi a wato ahyɛ ne yɔnko so akum no.

but to the woman you shall do nothing; there is in the woman no sin worthy of death: for as when a man rises against his neighbor, and kills him, even so is this matter;

27 Esiane sɛ ɔbarima no hyɛɛ no ne no daeɛ wɔ wiram enti, wɔfa no sɛ, ɔteateaam nanso wannya ɔgyefoɔ biara annye no.

for he found her in the field, the pledged to be married woman cried, and there was none to save her.

28 Sɛ wɔkyere ɔbarima bi a ɔne ababaawa bi a obi ne no nhyehyɛeɛ awadeɛ ada a,

If a man find a woman who is a virgin, who is not pledged to be married, and lay hold on her, and lie with her, and they be found;

29 ɛsɛ sɛ ɔtua dwetɛ kilogram mmienu ne fa ma ababaawa no agya. Na ɛno akyi, ɛsɛ sɛ ɔbarima no ware ababaawa no, ɛfiri sɛ, wagu nʼanim ase na ɔrentumi nnyae no awadeɛ da.

then the man who lay with her shall give to the woman's father fifty shekels of silver, and she shall be his wife, because he has humbled her; he may not put her away all his days.

30 Ɔbarima biara nni ho ɔkwan sɛ ɔne nʼagya yere da, ɛnsɛ sɛ ɔgu nʼagya mpa ho fi.

A man shall not take his father's wife, and shall not uncover his father's skirt.
