4 Mose 15

1 Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose sɛ,

Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,

2 “Ka kyerɛ Israelfoɔ no sɛ, ‘Sɛ mokɔtena asase a mede ama mo no so

“Speak to the children of Israel, and tell them, ‘When you have come into the land of your habitations, which I give to you,

3 na mopɛ sɛ mobɔ ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ anaa afɔdeɛ biara a wɔbɔ no ogya so ma ɛsɔ Awurade ani a, ɛsɛ sɛ afɔrebɔdeɛ no yɛ aboa a ɔfiri mo nnwankuo anaa anantwibuo mu. Sɛ ɛyɛ ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ, anaa afɔrebɔ a wɔde hyɛ bɔ, anaa afɔrebɔ a ɛfiri ɔpɛ mu, anaa afɔrebɔ a wɔbɔ no afirinhyia mu nnapɔnna bi mu no a, ɛsɛ sɛ wɔde aduane afɔrebɔdeɛ ka ho.

and will make an offering by fire to Yahweh—a burnt offering, or a sacrifice, to accomplish a vow, or as a free will offering, or in your set feasts, to make a pleasant aroma to Yahweh, of the herd, or of the flock—

4 Deɛ ɔde ba no, ɛsɛ sɛ ɔde aduane afɔrebɔdeɛ a ɛyɛ esiam kilogram mmienu a wɔde ngo lita baako afra ka ho ma Awurade.

then he who offers his offering shall offer to Yahweh a meal offering of one tenth of an ephah of fine flour mixed with one fourth of a hin of oil.

5 Odwammaa biara a wɔde bɔ ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ no, ɛsɛ sɛ wɔde nsã afɔrebɔdeɛ a ɛyɛ bobesa lita baako ka ho.

You shall prepare wine for the drink offering, one fourth of a hin, with the burnt offering or for the sacrifice, for each lamb.

6 “‘Sɛ odwennini na wode rebɔ afɔdeɛ a, fa esiam lita mmiɛnsa fra ngo lita baako,

“‘For a ram, you shall prepare for a meal offering two tenths of an ephah of fine flour mixed with the third part of a hin of oil;

7 ne bobesa lita baako sɛ ɔnom afɔrebɔdeɛ. Yei ne afɔrebɔ a ɛbɛsɔ Awurade ani.

and for the drink offering you shall offer the third part of a hin of wine, of a pleasant aroma to Yahweh.

8 “‘Sɛ wosiesie nantwie ba ma ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ anaa afɔrebɔdeɛ de hyɛ bɔ sononko bi anaa ayɔnkofa asikyiresiam afɔdeɛ a worebɔ ama Awurade a,

When you prepare a bull for a burnt offering or for a sacrifice, to accomplish a vow, or for peace offerings to Yahweh,

9 fa atokoɔ afɔrebɔdeɛ a ɛyɛ asikyiresiam a wɔayam no muhumuhu lita nsia ne fa ne ngo lita mmienu ka nantwie no ho

then he shall offer with the bull a meal offering of three tenths of an ephah of fine flour mixed with half a hin of oil;

10 a bobesa lita mmienu ka ho sɛ ɔnom afɔrebɔdeɛ. Egya na wɔde bɛbɔ saa afɔdeɛ yi na asɔ Awurade ani.

and you shall offer for the drink offering half a hin of wine, for an offering made by fire, of a pleasant aroma to Yahweh.

11 Yei ne mmara a ɛka nantwie, odwennini, odwammaa anaa abirekyie ba a wɔde bɔ afɔdeɛ ho.

Thus it shall be done for each bull, for each ram, for each of the male lambs, or of the young goats.

12 Afɔrebɔdeɛ biara a mo mu biara de bɛkɔ no, ɛsɛ sɛ ɔfa saa ɛkwan yi so.

According to the number that you shall prepare, so you shall do to everyone according to their number.

13 “‘Ɛsɛ sɛ Israelfoɔ ne ahɔhoɔ a wɔne mo teɛ a wɔpɛ sɛ wɔfa ogya afɔrebɔ so sɔ Awurade ani no nyinaa di saa mmara yi so.

“‘All who are native-born shall do these things in this way, in offering an offering made by fire, of a pleasant aroma to Yahweh.

14 Na sɛ ahɔhoɔ a wɔte mo mu no pɛ sɛ wɔbɔ ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ ma ɛsɔ Awurade ani a, ɛsɛ sɛ wɔfa saa ɛkwan korɔ no ara so.

If a stranger lives as a foreigner with you, or whoever may be among you throughout your generations, and will offer an offering made by fire, of a pleasant aroma to Yahweh, as you do, so he shall do.

15 Mmara no wɔ hɔ ma mo nyinaa—ɔmanfoɔ ne ahɔhoɔ; na ɛyɛ nokorɛ a ɛtim hɔ daa firi awoɔ ntoatoasoɔ so kɔsi awoɔ ntoatoasoɔ so sɛ wɔn nyinaa yɛ pɛ wɔ Awurade anim.

For the assembly, there shall be one statute for you and for the stranger who lives as a foreigner, a statute forever throughout your generations. As you are, so the foreigner shall be before Yahweh.

16 Mmara baako na ɛwɔ hɔ ma mo nyinaa.’”

One law and one ordinance shall be for you and for the stranger who lives as a foreigner with you.’”

17 Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose saa ɛberɛ no sɛ,

Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,

18 “Ka kyerɛ Israelfoɔ no sɛ, sɛ wɔduru asase a mede rebɛma wɔn no so

“Speak to the children of Israel, and tell them, ‘When you come into the land where I bring you,

19 na wɔdi asase no so aduane a, wɔmfa bi mmɔ afɔdeɛ mma Awurade.

then it shall be that when you eat of the bread of the land, you shall offer up a wave offering to Yahweh.

20 Atokoɔ a mobɛyam a ɛdi ɛkan no, momfa nto ɔfam nto nkyɛn sɛ akyɛdeɛ sɛdeɛ moyɛ atokoɔ otwakane no wɔ ayuporobea no.

Of the first of your dough you shall offer up a cake for a wave offering. As the wave offering of the threshing floor, so you shall heave it.

21 Ɛfiri awoɔ ntoatoasoɔ a ɛbɛba no, ɛsɛ sɛ mode saa afɔdeɛ a ɛfiri mo aduane a ɛdi ɛkan a moanya mu yi ma Awurade.

Of the first of your dough, you shall give to Yahweh a wave offering throughout your generations.

22 “‘Sɛ mo mu bi firi awerɛfirie mu bu saa mmara a Awurade nam Mose so de ama mo yi so,

“‘When you err, and don’t observe all these commandments which Yahweh has spoken to Moses—

23 na sɛ daakye mo asefoɔ bu mmara ahodoɔ a Awurade nam Mose so de ama mo yi so,

even all that Yahweh has commanded you by Moses, from the day that Yahweh gave commandment and onward throughout your generations—

24 na sɛ wɔfom awerɛfirie mu a nnipa no nnim a, ɛsɛ sɛ wɔde aduane afɔrebɔdeɛ ne ɔnom afɔrebɔdeɛ ne ɔpapo a wɔde no bɛbɔ bɔne ho afɔdeɛ ka ho ma Awurade.

then it shall be, if it was done unwittingly, without the knowledge of the congregation, that all the congregation shall offer one young bull for a burnt offering, for a pleasant aroma to Yahweh, with its meal offering and its drink offering, according to the ordinance, and one male goat for a sin offering.

25 Na ɔsɔfoɔ no ayɛ mpatadeɛ ama Israelfoɔ nyinaa na wɔde wɔn bɔne akyɛ wɔn; ɛfiri sɛ, ɛyɛ mfomsoɔ, na wɔnam ɔhyeɛ afɔrebɔ so abɔ afɔdeɛ wɔ Awurade anim a wɔn bɔne afɔrebɔdeɛ ka ho.

The priest shall make atonement for all the congregation of the children of Israel, and they shall be forgiven; for it was an error, and they have brought their offering, an offering made by fire to Yahweh, and their sin offering before Yahweh, for their error.

26 Wɔde nnipa no nyinaa a ahɔhoɔ a wɔte wɔn mu ka ho no bɔne bɛkyɛ wɔn, ɛfiri sɛ, ɔmanfoɔ no nyinaa na wɔyɛɛ mfomsoɔ a wɔanhyɛ da; na wɔde akyɛ wɔn nyinaa.

All the congregation of the children of Israel shall be forgiven, as well as the stranger who lives as a foreigner among them; for with regard to all the people, it was done unwittingly.

27 “‘Sɛ obi yɛ mfomsoɔ awerɛfirie mu a, ɛsɛ sɛ ɔde abirekyibereɛ ba a wadi afe bɛbɔ bɔne ho afɔdeɛ

“‘If a person sins unwittingly, then he shall offer a female goat a year old for a sin offering.

28 na ɔsɔfoɔ no ayɛ mpatadeɛ ama no wɔ Awurade anim na wɔde ne bɔne akyɛ no.

The priest shall make atonement for the soul who errs when he sins unwittingly before Yahweh. He shall make atonement for him; and he shall be forgiven.

29 Saa mmara yi wɔ hɔ ma Israelfoɔ ne ananafoɔ a wɔte mu mu no.

You shall have one law for him who does anything unwittingly, for him who is native-born among the children of Israel, and for the stranger who lives as a foreigner among them.

30 “‘Na sɛ obi boapa yɛ mfomsoɔ a, sɛ ɔyɛ Israelni anaa ɔnanani no, ɔgu Awurade din ho fi, enti wɔbɛyi no afiri nnipa no mu.

“‘But the soul who does anything with a high hand, whether he is native-born or a foreigner, blasphemes Yahweh. That soul shall be cut off from among his people.

31 Mperɛ dodoɔ a wɔabu Awurade asɛm animtiaa na wɔboapa abu Awurade mmara so no, ɛsɛ sɛ wɔyi no firi nnipa no mu na ne bɔne gu ne tiri so.’”

Because he has despised Yahweh’s word, and has broken his commandment, that soul shall be utterly cut off. His iniquity shall be on him.’”

32 Ɛda bi a Israelfoɔ no wɔ ɛserɛ so no, wɔkyeree wɔn mu baako sɛ ɔrebubu mmabaa homeda.

While the children of Israel were in the wilderness, they found a man gathering sticks on the Sabbath day.

33 Wɔkyeree no de no kɔɔ Mose ne Aaron ne atemmufoɔ bi anim.

Those who found him gathering sticks brought him to Moses and Aaron, and to all the congregation.

34 Wɔde no too afiase kɔsii sɛ wɔhunuu Awurade adwene a ɔwɔ wɔ saa onipa no ho.

They put him in custody, because it had not been declared what should be done to him.

35 Afei, Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose sɛ, “Ɛsɛ sɛ wɔkum saa onipa no. Nnipa no nyinaa nsi no aboɔ wɔ atenaeɛ no akyi baabi.”

Yahweh said to Moses, “The man shall surely be put to death. All the congregation shall stone him with stones outside of the camp.”

36 Enti wɔde no kɔɔ atenaeɛ no akyi baabi kɔsii no aboɔ sɛdeɛ Awurade hyɛeɛ no.

All the congregation brought him outside of the camp, and stoned him to death with stones, as Yahweh commanded Moses.

37 Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose sɛ,

Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,

38 “Ka kyerɛ Israelfoɔ na wɔmma biribi nsensɛne wɔn ntadeɛ ano mfiri awoɔ ntoatoasoɔ so nkɔsi awoɔ ntoatoasoɔ so a ɛbɛyɛ mmara a ɛtim hɔ daa na wɔmfa ahoma tuntum nkyekyere sɛ nkaeɛ adeɛ mfam ntadeɛ ano.

“Speak to the children of Israel, and tell them that they should make themselves fringes on the borders of their garments throughout their generations, and that they put on the fringe of each border a cord of blue.

39 Saa mmara yi botaeɛ ne sɛ, ɛberɛ biara a mobɛhunu saa adeɛ yi no, mobɛkae Awurade mmara a wɔahyɛ mo no, na moadi nʼapɛdeɛ so, na moamfa mo ankasa mo akwan sɛdeɛ na moyɛ de som anyame afoforɔ no.

It shall be to you for a fringe, that you may see it, and remember all Yahweh’s commandments, and do them; and that you don’t follow your own heart and your own eyes, after which you used to play the prostitute;

40 Ɛbɛkae mo ama moayɛ kronkron ama Onyankopɔn.

so that you may remember and do all my commandments, and be holy to your God.

41 Mene Awurade mo Onyankopɔn a mede mo firi Misraim asase so baeɛ no. Aane, mene Awurade mo Onyankopɔn.”

I am Yahweh your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, to be your God: I am Yahweh your God.”
