Numbers 6

The Lord said to Moses,

Homeda bi a Yesu ne n’asuafo no nam aburowfuw bi mu no asuafo no pempan aburow no bi huan, wee.

“Speak to the Israelites and say to them: ‘If a man or woman wants to make a special vow, a vow of dedication to the Lord as a Nazirite,

Farisifo bi bisaa no se, “Adɛn na moyɛ ade a etia Homeda ho mmara a wɔahyɛ no?”

they must abstain from wine and other fermented drink and must not drink vinegar made from wine or other fermented drink. They must not drink grape juice or eat grapes or raisins.

Yesu buaa wɔn se, “Monkenkan nea ɔhene Dawid yɛe bere a ɔkɔm dee ɔne wɔn a wɔka ne ho no wɔ Kyerɛwsɛm no mu anaa?

As long as they remain under their Nazirite vow, they must not eat anything that comes from the grapevine, not even the seeds or skins.

Ɔkɔɔ asɔredan mu kɔfaa abodoo a wɔde abɔ afɔre ama Onyankopɔn a mmara mma ho kwan sɛ obi di gye asɔfo nko ara no de bi maa wɔn a wɔka ne ho no nso dii.”

“‘During the entire period of their Nazirite vow, no razor may be used on their head. They must be holy until the period of their dedication to the Lord is over; they must let their hair grow long.

Yesu kae se, “Onipa Ba no ne Homeda no wura.”

“‘Throughout the period of their dedication to the Lord, the Nazirite must not go near a dead body.

Homeda foforo bi nso a Yesu rekyerɛkyerɛ wɔ asɔredan mu no, na ɔbarima bi a ne nsa nifa awu nso wɔ hɔ bi.

Even if their own father or mother or brother or sister dies, they must not make themselves ceremonially unclean on account of them, because the symbol of their dedication to God is on their head.

Mmara no akyerɛkyerɛfo ne Farisifo no hwɛɛ Yesu dinn sɛ ɔbɛsa onipa yi yare Homeda yi nso anaa. Nea na wɔrehwehwɛ ara ne sɛ obebu mmara no so, asa yare na wɔn nsa aka no akyere no.

Throughout the period of their dedication, they are consecrated to the Lord.

Yesu huu wɔn adwene nanso ɔka kyerɛɛ ɔbarima no se, “Sɔre begyina anim ha, na obiara nhu wo.” Ɔbarima no sɔre begyinaa hɔ.

“‘If someone dies suddenly in the Nazirite’s presence, thus defiling the hair that symbolizes their dedication, they must shave their head on the seventh day—the day of their cleansing.

Yesu ka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Mibisa mo. Dɛn na Mmara no ma ho kwan sɛ yɛnyɛ no Homeda; sɛ yɛbɛyɛ papa anaa yɛbɛyɛ bɔne, sɛ yebegye obi nkwa anaasɛ yɛbɛma wawu?”

Then on the eighth day they must bring two doves or two young pigeons to the priest at the entrance to the tent of meeting.

Yesu hwɛɛ wɔn nyinaa hyiae na ɔka kyerɛɛ ɔbarima no se, “Teɛ wo nsa.” Na ɔteɛɛ ne nsa no emu yɛɛ den sɛ baako no.

The priest is to offer one as a sin offering^[a] and the other as a burnt offering to make atonement for the Nazirite because they sinned by being in the presence of the dead body. That same day they are to consecrate their head again.

Nea Yesu yɛe yi hyɛɛ nnipa no abufuw yiye ma wofii ase bɔɔ ne ho pɔw.

Yesu yi asuafo dumien

They must rededicate themselves to the Lord for the same period of dedication and must bring a year-old male lamb as a guilt offering. The previous days do not count, because they became defiled during their period of dedication.

Da bi Yesu kɔɔ bepɔw bi so sɛ ɔrekɔbɔ mpae. Ɔbɔɔ mpae anadwo mu no nyinaa.

“‘Now this is the law of the Nazirite when the period of their dedication is over. They are to be brought to the entrance to the tent of meeting.

Ade kyee no, ɔfrɛɛ n’akyidifo no nyinaa baa ne nkyɛn na oyii wɔn mu dumien. Saa dumien yi na ɔfrɛɛ wɔn asomafo.

There they are to present their offerings to the Lord: a year-old male lamb without defect for a burnt offering, a year-old ewe lamb without defect for a sin offering, a ram without defect for a fellowship offering,

Dumien a oyii wɔn no din na edidi so yi: Simon, a ɔtoo ne din Petro; Andrea, Simon ne nua; Yakobo, Yohane, Filipo, Bartolomeo,

together with their grain offerings and drink offerings, and a basket of bread made with the finest flour and without yeast—thick loaves with olive oil mixed in, and thin loaves brushed with olive oil.

Mateo, Toma, Yakobo, a ɔyɛ Alfeo ba; Simon, a wɔfrɛ no Selote;

“‘The priest is to present all these before the Lord and make the sin offering and the burnt offering.

Yuda, a ɔyɛ Yakobo ba; ne Yuda Iskariot a oyii Yesu mae no.

Yesu sa nyarewa

He is to present the basket of unleavened bread and is to sacrifice the ram as a fellowship offering to the Lord, together with its grain offering and drink offering.

Yesu fi bepɔw no so sian baa fam maa n’akyidifo bebree ne nnipakuw a wofi Yudea, Yerusalem ne mpoano nkurow Tiro ne Sidon mu no betwaa ne ho hyiae.

“‘Then at the entrance to the tent of meeting, the Nazirite must shave off the hair that symbolizes their dedication. They are to take the hair and put it in the fire that is under the sacrifice of the fellowship offering.

Wɔbae sɛ wɔrebetie no ama wasa wɔn nyarewa nso. Otuu ahohommɔne bebree.

“‘After the Nazirite has shaved off the hair that symbolizes their dedication, the priest is to place in their hands a boiled shoulder of the ram, and one thick loaf and one thin loaf from the basket, both made without yeast.

Obiara bɔɔ mmɔden sɛ ɔde ne nsa bɛka Yesu. Ayarefo a wɔde wɔn nsa kaa Yesu no nyinaa ho tɔɔ wɔn.

The priest shall then wave these before the Lord as a wave offering; they are holy and belong to the priest, together with the breast that was waved and the thigh that was presented. After that, the Nazirite may drink wine.

Afei ɔdanee n’ani ka kyerɛɛ n’asuafo no se, “Nhyira ne mo a moyɛ ahiafo, na mo na Onyankopɔn Ahenni no yɛ mo dea!

“‘This is the law of the Nazirite who vows offerings to the Lord in accordance with their dedication, in addition to whatever else they can afford. They must fulfill the vows they have made, according to the law of the Nazirite.’”

The Priestly Blessing

Nhyira ne mo a ɔkɔm de mo, na mo na wɔbɛma mo amee. Nhyira ne mo a mo werɛ ahow, na mo na wɔbɛma mo ani agye.

The Lord said to Moses,

Nhyira ne mo a me din nti nnipa tan mo, na wɔpa mo, na wɔyaw mo, na wogu mo din ho fi.

“Tell Aaron and his sons, ‘This is how you are to bless the Israelites. Say to them:

Munnue, mo a nnipa kamfo mo, efisɛ, saa ara na wɔn nenanom kamfoo atoro adiyifo no.

Monnɔ mo atamfo

“So they will put my name on the Israelites, and I will bless them.”

“Mereka akyerɛ mo a moretie me no nyinaa se, monnɔ mo atamfo; monyɛ wɔn a wɔtan mo no papa.

Munhyira wɔn a wɔdome mo; mommɔ mpae mma wɔn a wɔtan mo.

“Sɛ obi bɔ w’asom a, dan baako a aka no ma no. Sɛ obi pa wo ntama a, worɔw w’atade ka ho.

Sɛ obi srɛ wo biribi a, fa ma no. Obi gye w’ade a, mmisa no bio.

Na nea mopɛ sɛ nnipa nyɛ mo no, mo nso monyɛ wɔn saa ara.

“Na sɛ modɔ wɔn a wɔdɔ mo no nko ara a, mfaso bɛn na mubenya? Nnebɔneyɛfo nso dɔ wɔn a wɔdɔ wɔn no.

Na sɛ moyɛ wɔn a wɔyɛ mo papa no nko ara yiye a, mfaso bɛn na mubenya? Nnebɔneyɛfo mpo yɛ wɔn a wɔyɛ wɔn papa no nso yiye.

“Monyɛ mmɔborɔhunufo sɛnea mo Agya a ɔwɔ soro no yɛ mmɔborɔhunufo no.

Yesu nam abebu so kasa kyerɛɛ wɔn bio se, “Onifuraefo betumi akyerɛ onifuraefo kwan ama ayɛ yie anaa? Sɛ ɛba saa a, wɔn baanu nyinaa bɛtɔ amoa mu.
