3 Mose 4
1 Afei Awurade hyɛɛ mmara foforɔ maa Mose sɛ:
Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
2 “Ka kyerɛ Israelfoɔ sɛ, ‘saa mmara yi na ɛwɔ hɔ ma obiara a wanhyɛ da na ɔbɛbu Awurade mmara no bi so.
“Speak to the children of Israel, saying, ‘If anyone sins unintentionally, in any of the things which Yahweh has commanded not to be done, and does any one of them,
3 “‘Sɛ ɔsɔfoɔ bi anhyɛ da na ɔfom mmara bi na ɛnam so de afɔbuo ba nnipa no so a, ɛsɛ sɛ ɔde nantwinini ba a ɔnnii dɛm bɔ bɔne ho afɔdeɛ de ma Awurade.
if the anointed priest sins so as to bring guilt on the people, then let him offer for his sin which he has sinned a young bull without defect to Yahweh for a sin offering.
4 Ɛsɛ sɛ ɔde aboa no ba Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no ɛpono ano na ɔde ne nsa gu nʼapampam na ɔkum no wɔ hɔ wɔ Awurade anim.
He shall bring the bull to the door of the Tent of Meeting before Yahweh; and he shall lay his hand on the head of the bull, and kill the bull before Yahweh.
5 Ɔsɔfoɔ no de aboa no mogya bɛkɔ Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no mu.
The anointed priest shall take some of the blood of the bull, and bring it to the Tent of Meeting.
6 Ɔde ne nsateaa baako bɛbɔ mogya no mu apete no mprɛnson wɔ Awurade anim wɔ ntoma a ɛsɛn kronkron mu kronkron no anim.
The priest shall dip his finger in the blood, and sprinkle some of the blood seven times before Yahweh, before the veil of the sanctuary.
7 Afei, ɔsɔfoɔ no de mogya no bi bɛgu aduhwam no toa a ɛsi afɔrebukyia no so no wɔ Awurade anim wɔ Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no mu; mogya no a ɛbɛka no, wɔbɛhwie agu afɔrebukyia no ase de abɔ ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ wɔ Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no kwan ano.
The priest shall put some of the blood on the horns of the altar of sweet incense before Yahweh, which is in the Tent of Meeting; and he shall pour out the rest of the blood of the bull at the base of the altar of burnt offering, which is at the door of the Tent of Meeting.
8 Afei ɔbɛtete sradeɛ a ɛwɔ ne nsono no ho nyinaa,
He shall take all the fat of the bull of the sin offering from it: the fat that covers the innards, and all the fat that is on the innards,
9 ne sawa mmienu no ne sisia sradeɛ ne ne berɛboɔ kotokuo,
and the two kidneys, and the fat that is on them, which is by the loins, and the cover on the liver, with the kidneys, he shall remove,
10 na wahye no wɔ ɔhyeɛ afɔrebukyia no so te sɛ nantwinini anaa nantwibereɛ a wɔde no bɔ asomdwoeɛ afɔdeɛ no pɛ.
as it is removed from the bull of the sacrifice of peace offerings. The priest shall burn them on the altar of burnt offering.
11 Nanso nantwie ba no ho nneɛma a ɛbɛka a ɛyɛ ne nhoma, ne nam, ne ti, ne nan, nʼayamdeɛ, ne ne nsono no deɛ,
He shall carry the bull’s skin, all its meat, with its head, and with its legs, its innards, and its dung
12 wɔmfa nkɔ afahyɛbea bi a ɛhɔ te wɔ akyiri baabi a wɔde nsõ firi afɔrebukyia no so kɔ hɔ kɔhye no nnyensin so no.
—all the rest of the bull—outside of the camp to a clean place where the ashes are poured out, and burn it on wood with fire. It shall be burned where the ashes are poured out.
13 “‘Sɛ Israelfoɔ nyinaa yɛ bɔne a ɛtia Awurade, na sɛ ɛnyɛ boapa yɛ a, nnipa no nyinaa bɛdi ho fɔ.
“‘If the whole congregation of Israel sins, and the thing is hidden from the eyes of the assembly, and they have done any of the things which Yahweh has commanded not to be done, and are guilty;
14 Na sɛ wɔhunu wɔn bɔne a, wɔde nantwie ba bɛba abɛbɔ bɔne ho afɔdeɛ wɔ Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no mu.
when the sin in which they have sinned is known, then the assembly shall offer a young bull for a sin offering, and bring it before the Tent of Meeting.
15 Sɛ wɔrebɔ saa afɔdeɛ no a, ɔman no mu mpanimfoɔ de wɔn nsa bɛgu aboa no apampam na wɔakum no wɔ Awurade anim.
The elders of the congregation shall lay their hands on the head of the bull before Yahweh; and the bull shall be killed before Yahweh.
16 Na ɔsɔfoɔ no de ne mogya aba Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no mu,
The anointed priest shall bring some of the blood of the bull to the Tent of Meeting.
17 na ɔde ne nsateaa baako abɔ mogya no mu apete no mprɛnson wɔ Awurade ne ntoma a ɛtwa ɛdan no mu no anim.
The priest shall dip his finger in the blood and sprinkle it seven times before Yahweh, before the veil.
18 Ɔde mogya bɛgu mmɛn a ɛtuatua afɔrebukyia no ho no so wɔ Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no mu wɔ Awurade anim. Afei ɔbɛhwie mogya a aka wɔ ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ no afɔrebukyia no ase no agu wɔ Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no kwan ano.
He shall put some of the blood on the horns of the altar which is before Yahweh, that is in the Tent of Meeting; and the rest of the blood he shall pour out at the base of the altar of burnt offering, which is at the door of the Tent of Meeting.
19 Sradeɛ a ɛwɔ aboa no mu nyinaa, ɛsɛ sɛ wɔyi na wɔhye no wɔ afɔrebukyia no so.
All its fat he shall take from it, and burn it on the altar.
20 Ɔbɛfa ɛkwan a wɔfa so bɔ bɔne ho afɔdeɛ no so pɛpɛɛpɛ. Yei bɛma ɔsɔfoɔ no abɛyɛ mpatadeɛ ama ɔman no na wɔde obiara bɔne bɛkyɛ no.
He shall do this with the bull; as he did with the bull of the sin offering, so he shall do with this; and the priest shall make atonement for them, and they shall be forgiven.
21 Afei asɔfoɔ no bɛtwe nantwinini ba no de no akɔ beaeɛ foforɔ bi so akɔhye no wɔ hɔ te sɛ deɛ ɔrebɔ ɔbaakofoɔ bɔne ho afɔdeɛ no. Nanso yei deɛ, ɛyɛ ɔman mu no nyinaa afɔrebɔdeɛ.
He shall carry the bull outside the camp, and burn it as he burned the first bull. It is the sin offering for the assembly.
22 “‘Sɛ mpanimfoɔ no bi yɛ bɔne a ɔnnim sɛ wafom Awurade Onyankopɔn mmara no baako
“‘When a ruler sins, and unwittingly does any one of all the things which Yahweh his God has commanded not to be done, and is guilty,
23 na wɔma no te ne ho ase a, ɛsɛ sɛ ɔde ɔpapo a ne ho nni dɛm ba sɛ nʼafɔrebɔdeɛ.
if his sin in which he has sinned is made known to him, he shall bring as his offering a goat, a male without defect.
24 Ɔde ne nsa bɛgu aboa no apampam na wakum no wɔ beaeɛ a wɔkum ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ mmoa no de ama Awurade no. Yei yɛ ne bɔne ho afɔrebɔdeɛ.
He shall lay his hand on the head of the goat, and kill it in the place where they kill the burnt offering before Yahweh. It is a sin offering.
25 Afei, ɔsɔfoɔ no de ne nsateaa baako bɛbɔ afɔrebɔdeɛ mogya no mu na ɔde afɔre afɔrebukyia a wɔbɔ ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ wɔ so no mmɛn no ho; na afei wɔahwie mogya no nkaeɛ agu afɔrebukyia no ase.
The priest shall take some of the blood of the sin offering with his finger, and put it on the horns of the altar of burnt offering. He shall pour out the rest of its blood at the base of the altar of burnt offering.
26 Wɔbɛhye sradeɛ no nyinaa wɔ afɔrebukyia no so te sɛ deɛ wɔhye asomdwoeɛ afɔdeɛ sradeɛ no ara pɛ; ɛkyerɛ sɛ, ɔsɔfoɔ no nam saa afɔrebɔ yi so bɛpata ama ɔpanin ko no wɔ ne bɔne no ho na wɔde ne bɔne no bɛkyɛ no.
All its fat he shall burn on the altar, like the fat of the sacrifice of peace offerings; and the priest shall make atonement for him concerning his sin, and he will be forgiven.
27 “‘Sɛ ɔpapahwekwaa bi yɛ bɔne a ɔnnim sɛ wafom a, ɔdi ho fɔ.
“‘If anyone of the common people sins unwittingly, in doing any of the things which Yahweh has commanded not to be done, and is guilty,
28 Nanso ɔnya te ne ho ase ara pɛ a, ɛsɛ sɛ ɔde abirekyibereɛ a ne ho nni dɛm ba ma wɔde pata ne bɔne no.
if his sin which he has sinned is made known to him, then he shall bring for his offering a goat, a female without defect, for his sin which he has sinned.
29 Ɔde no bɛba beaeɛ a wɔde mmoa a wɔde wɔn ba ma wɔkum wɔn de wɔn bɔ ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ hɔ no, na ɔde ne nsa ato bɔne ho afɔrebɔdeɛ no apampam na wakum no.
He shall lay his hand on the head of the sin offering, and kill the sin offering in the place of burnt offering.
30 Na ɔsɔfoɔ no de mogya no bi afɔre ne nsateaa baako ho na ɔde afɔre ɔhyeɛ afɔrebukyia mmɛn no ho. Afei, ɔsɔfoɔ no bɛhwie mogya no nkaeɛ no agu afɔrebukyia no ase.
The priest shall take some of its blood with his finger, and put it on the horns of the altar of burnt offering; and the rest of its blood he shall pour out at the base of the altar.
31 Wɔbɛyi sradeɛ no nyinaa afiri mu te sɛ deɛ wɔfa bɔ asomdwoeɛ afɔdeɛ no ara. Na ɔsɔfoɔ no bɛhye no wɔ afɔrebukyia no so. Na Awurade ani bɛsɔ. Ɛkyerɛ sɛ, ɔsɔfoɔ no nam saa afɔrebɔ yi so bɛpata ama saa onipa no na wɔde ne bɔne bɛkyɛ no.
All its fat he shall take away, like the fat is taken away from the sacrifice of peace offerings; and the priest shall burn it on the altar for a pleasant aroma to Yahweh; and the priest shall make atonement for him, and he will be forgiven.
32 “‘Na sɛ ɔpɛ sɛ ɔde odwammaa bɛbɔ ne bɔne ho afɔdeɛ nso a, ɛsɛ sɛ ɔyɛ ɔbereɛ a ɛdɛm biara nni ne ho.
“‘If he brings a lamb as his offering for a sin offering, he shall bring a female without defect.
33 Ɔde no bɛba beaeɛ a wɔde mmoa a wɔde wɔn ba ma wɔkum wɔn de wɔn bɔ ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ hɔ no, na ɔde ne nsa ato bɔne no afɔrebɔdeɛ no apampam na wakum no sɛ bɔne ho afɔrebɔdeɛ.
He shall lay his hand on the head of the sin offering, and kill it for a sin offering in the place where they kill the burnt offering.
34 Na ɔsɔfoɔ no de mogya no bi afɔre ne nsateaa baako ho na ɔde afɔre ɔhyeɛ afɔrebukyia mmɛn no ho. Na wahwie mogya no nkaeɛ no agu afɔrebukyia no ase.
The priest shall take some of the blood of the sin offering with his finger, and put it on the horns of the altar of burnt offering; and all the rest of its blood he shall pour out at the base of the altar.
35 Wɔbɛyɛ sradeɛ no sɛdeɛ wɔyɛ asomdwoeɛ odwammaa sradeɛ no. Ɔsɔfoɔ no bɛhye sradeɛ no wɔ afɔrebukyia no so te sɛ afɔdeɛ ahodoɔ a wɔde ogya bɔ ma Awurade no ara pɛ. Ɔsɔfoɔ no nam saa afɔrebɔ yi so bɛpata ama onipa ko no, na wɔde ne bɔne bɛkyɛ no.
He shall remove all its fat, like the fat of the lamb is removed from the sacrifice of peace offerings. The priest shall burn them on the altar, on the offerings of Yahweh made by fire. The priest shall make atonement for him concerning his sin that he has sinned, and he will be forgiven.
