Leviticus 1

The Lord called to Moses and spoke to him from the tent of meeting. He said,

Asɛmpa a ɛfa Yesu Kristo, Onyankopɔn Ba no ho mfitiase ni:

“Speak to the Israelites and say to them: ‘When anyone among you brings an offering to the Lord, bring as your offering an animal from either the herd or the flock.

Odiyifo Yesaia nhoma no mu no, Onyankopɔn kae se, ɔbɛsoma ne Ba aba asase so. Nanso ɔbɔfo bi bedi n’anim a, ɔno na obesiesie kwan ama no.

“‘If the offering is a burnt offering from the herd, you are to offer a male without defect. You must present it at the entrance to the tent of meeting so that it will be acceptable to the Lord.

Saa ɔbɔfo yi bɛtena sare so, na wateɛm se, “Munsiesie Awurade akwan. Obiara nsiesie ne ho mfa ntwɛn Awurade ba no.”

You are to lay your hand on the head of the burnt offering, and it will be accepted on your behalf to make atonement for you.

Saa ɔbɔfo no, ɔne Yohane Osuboni. Ɔtenaa sare so, na ɔkyerɛkyerɛɛ wɔn se, wonnu wɔn ho wɔ wɔn bɔne ho, na wɔmma wɔmmɔ wɔn asu sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a Onyankopɔn de wɔn bɔne befiri wɔn.

You are to slaughter the young bull before the Lord, and then Aaron’s sons the priests shall bring the blood and splash it against the sides of the altar at the entrance to the tent of meeting.

Nnipa fifi Yerusalem ne Yudea nkurow so kohuu Yohane, tiee no. Na wɔkaa wɔn bɔne kyerɛɛ no no, ɔbɔɔ wɔn asu wɔ asubɔnten Yordan mu.

You are to skin the burnt offering and cut it into pieces.

Na Yohane hyɛ atade a wɔde aboa nhoma na apam a aboa nhoma abɔso nso bɔ mu. N’aduan yɛ mmoadabi ne ɛwo.

The sons of Aaron the priest are to put fire on the altar and arrange wood on the fire.

Ne nkyerɛkyerɛ no mu, ɔkae se, “Ɛrenkyɛ koraa, obi bɛba a ɔwɔ tumi sen me a, ne mpaboa mpo ɛnsɛ sɛ mikita.

Then Aaron’s sons the priests shall arrange the pieces, including the head and the fat, on the wood that is burning on the altar.

Me de, mede nsu na ɛbɔ mo asu, na ɔno de, ɔde Onyankopɔn Honhom Kronkron na ɛbɛbɔ mo asu!”

Yesu asubɔ ne ne sɔhwɛ

You are to wash the internal organs and the legs with water, and the priest is to burn all of it on the altar. It is a burnt offering, a food offering, an aroma pleasing to the Lord.

Da bi, Yesu fii Nasaret a ɛwɔ Galileaman mu bae maa Yohane bɔɔ no asu wɔ asubɔnten Yordan mu.

“‘If the offering is a burnt offering from the flock, from either the sheep or the goats, you are to offer a male without defect.

Yesu fi nsu no mu sii koko so ara pɛ, ohui sɛ ɔsoro abue na Honhom Kronkron resian sɛ aborɔnoma aba ne so. Saa bere no ara mu,

You are to slaughter it at the north side of the altar before the Lord, and Aaron’s sons the priests shall splash its blood against the sides of the altar.

ɛnne bi fi soro kae se, “Wone me dɔ Ba a wosɔ m’ani.”

You are to cut it into pieces, and the priest shall arrange them, including the head and the fat, on the wood that is burning on the altar.

Ɛhɔ ara, Honhom Kronkron de Yesu kɔɔ sare so.

You are to wash the internal organs and the legs with water, and the priest is to bring all of them and burn them on the altar. It is a burnt offering, a food offering, an aroma pleasing to the Lord.

Ɔtenaa hɔ adaduanan a, na obiara nka ne ho ka wuram mmoa nko ara. Ɛhɔ na ɔbonsam sɔɔ no hwɛe. Akyiri yi, abɔfo ba bɛsom no.

Asuafo baanan a wodi kan no frɛ

“‘If the offering to the Lord is a burnt offering of birds, you are to offer a dove or a young pigeon.

Ɔhene Herode kyeree Yohane akyi no, Yesu kɔɔ Galilea kɔkaa Asɛmpa no wɔ hɔ.

The priest shall bring it to the altar, wring off the head and burn it on the altar; its blood shall be drained out on the side of the altar.

Ɔkae se, “Bere no awie du! Onyankopɔn Ahenni no abɛn. Monsakra mo adwene na munnye Asɛmpa no nni!”

He is to remove the crop and the feathers^[a] and throw them down east of the altar where the ashes are.

Da bi a Yesu nam Galilea mpoano no, ohuu Simon ne ne nua Andrea sɛ wɔregu asau.

He shall tear it open by the wings, not dividing it completely, and then the priest shall burn it on the wood that is burning on the altar. It is a burnt offering, a food offering, an aroma pleasing to the Lord.

Yesu frɛɛ wɔn se, “Mummedi m’akyi! Na mɛma mo ayɛ nnipayifo.”

Ɛhɔ ara, wogyaw wɔn asau no guu hɔ bedii n’akyi.

Ɔkɔɔ n’anim kakra no, ohuu Sebedeo mma baanu a, wɔfrɛ ɔbaako Yohane, ɛnna ɔbaako nso Yakobo, sɛ wɔte ɔkorow mu renwene wɔn asau.

Ɔfrɛɛ wɔn nso sɛ wommedi n’akyi. Ntɛm ara, wogyaw wɔn agya Sebedeo ne n’apaafo hɔ wɔ ɔkorow no mu bedii n’akyi.

Yesu tu honhommɔne

Yesu ne n’akyidifo yi beduu Kapernaum. Na Homeda dui no, ɔkɔɔ asɔredan mu kɔkaa Asɛmpa no.

Nnipa no tee asɛm no no, wɔn ho dwiriw wɔn, efisɛ, ɔkasae te sɛ obi a ɔwɔ tumi, na mmom wankasa sɛ mmara no akyerɛkyerɛfo no.

Amonom hɔ ara, ɔbarima bi a honhommɔne bi hyɛ ne mu de nteɛteɛm puee wɔ Asɔredan mu hɔ se,

“Dɛn na wo Nasaretni Yesu wɔ ne yɛn yɛ? Woaba sɛ worebɛsɛe yɛn anaa? Minim wo sɛ wone Onyankopɔn Ba Kronkron no!”

Yesu teɛteɛɛ honhommɔne no se, “Mua w’ano! Fi ne mu kɔ!”

Honhommɔne no wosow saa ɔbarima no ma ɔteɛteɛɛm dennen na etu kɔe.

Nnipa no nyinaa ho dwiriw wɔn ma wobisabisaa wɔn ho wɔn ho se, “Nkyerɛkyerɛ foforo bɛn ni? Ahonhommɔne mpo tie ne nne!”

Saa anwonwade a ɔyɛɛ yi ho asɛm trɛw faa Galileaman mu nyinaa.

Yesu sa nyarewa

Wofi asɔredan no mu no, ɔne n’asuafo no kɔɔ Simon ne Andrea fi.

Wɔkɔtoo sɛ atiridii abɔ Simon asebea ma ɔda hɔ.

Yesu kɔɔ faako a ɔda hɔ, kosoo ne nsa ma ɔsɔre tenaa ase. Ɛhɔ ara, atiridii no tu fii ne so. Ɔsɔre noaa aduan maa wɔn.

Eduu anwummere no, nnipa no de ayarefo ne wɔn a wɔwɔ ahonhommɔne brɛɛ Yesu sɛ ɔnsa wɔn yare.

Nnipa bebree bɛboaa wɔn ho ano wɔ ofi no abobow ano, hwɛɛ nea ɛrekɔ so.

Saa anwummere no ara, Yesu saa ayarefo bebree yare.Otuu ahonhommɔne bebree nso. Nanso wamma ahonhommɔne no ankasa, efisɛ, na wonim no.

Yesu asɛnka wɔ Galilea

Ade kyee anɔpatutuutu no, Yesu nko ara kɔɔ sare so kɔbɔɔ mpae.

Akyiri yi, Simon ne ebinom nso fii adi kɔhwehwɛɛ no,

na wohuu no no, wɔka kyerɛɛ no se, “Nnipa bebree rehwehwɛ wo.”

Ɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Ɛsɛ sɛ yɛkɔ nkurow a aka no so, na mekɔka m’asɛm kyerɛ wɔn, efisɛ, ɛno nti na mebae.”

Enti ɔkɔɔ Galileaman mu baabiara kɔkaa Asɛmpa no wɔ hyiadan mu, tuu ahonhommɔne bebree nso.

Yesu sa ɔkwatani bi yare

Ɔkwatani bi bɛkotow no srɛɛ no sɛ, “Mesrɛ wo, sa me yare.”

Ɔkwatani no yɛɛ Yesu mmɔbɔ, enti ɔde ne nsa kaa no kae se, “Mɛsa wo yare! Wo ho ntɔ wo!”

Amonom hɔ ara, kwata no fii ne ho maa ne ho tɔɔ no!

Yesu bɔɔ n’ano denneenen se,

“Nka saa asɛm yi nkyerɛ obiara, na mmom fa wo ho kɔkyerɛ ɔsɔfo. Sɛ worekɔ a, fa w’afɔrebɔde a Mose ahyɛ sɛ akwatafo a wɔasa wɔn yare mfa nka wɔn ho nkɔ no, ka wo ho kɔ sɛnea ɛbɛma obiara ahu sɛ, wo ho atɔ wo bio.”

Nanso ɔrekɔ no nyinaa, na ɔde nteɛteɛm rebɔ n’ayaresa no ho dawuru. Esiane eyi nti, sɛ Yesu kɔ baabiara a, nnipadɔm betwa ne ho hyia. Ɛno nti, afei baabiara a ɔbɛkɔ no, onyi ne ho adi. Enti ɔtenaa sare so hɔ maa nnipa bebree baa ne nkyɛn wɔ hɔ.
