Leviticus 16
1 Now the LORD spoke to Moses after the death of two of Aaron’s sons when they approached the presence of the LORD.
Yehowa ƒo nu na Mose le Aron ƒe viŋutsu eveawo ƒe ku megbe esime wote ɖe Yehowa ŋu.
2 And the LORD said to Moses: “Tell your brother Aaron not to enter freely into the Most Holy Place behind the veil in front of the mercy seat on the ark, or else he will die, because I appear in the cloud above the mercy seat.
Yehowa gblɔ na Mose be, “Gblɔ na nɔviwò, Aron be megayi Kɔkɔeƒe la le xɔmetsovɔ la megbe le nutsyɔnu si le nubablaɖaka la ŋgɔ ɣe sia ɣi si dze eŋu o, ne menye nenema o la, aku, elabena medzena le lilikpo me le nutsyɔnu la tame.
3 This is how Aaron is to enter the Holy Place: with a young bull for a sin offering and a ram for a burnt offering.
“Aron age ɖe Kɔkɔeƒe la me ale: atsɔ nyitsuvi ɖe asi hena nu vɔ̃ ŋuti vɔsa kple agbo hena numevɔsa.
4 He is to wear the sacred linen tunic, with linen undergarments. He must tie a linen sash around him and put on the linen turban. These are holy garments, and he must bathe himself with water before he wears them.
Ado kɔmewu kɔkɔe la, eye wòado aklalawutewuiawo ɖe ete. Emegbe la, atsɔ aklalalidziblanu la abla ɖe eɖokui ŋu, eye wòatsɔ aklalatablanu la abla tae. Nu siawo nye awu kɔkɔewo, eya ta ele nɛ be wòale tsi hafi ado wo.
5 And he shall take from the congregation of Israel two male goats for a sin offering and one ram for a burnt offering.
Israelviwo ana gbɔ̃tsu eve hena woƒe nu vɔ̃ ŋuti vɔsa kple agbo ɖeka hena woƒe numevɔsa.
6 Aaron is to present the bull for his sin offering and make atonement for himself and his household.
“Gbã la, ele be wòatsɔ nyitsuvi fɛ̃ la asa nu vɔ̃ vɔsa na Yehowa ɖe eɖokui ta, eye wòalé avu ɖe eya ŋutɔ kple eƒe ƒomea ta.
7 Then he shall take the two goats and present them before the LORD at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting.
Emegbe la, akplɔ gbɔ̃tsu eveawo ava Yehowa ŋkume le Agbadɔ la ƒe mɔnu,
8 After Aaron casts lots for the two goats, one for the LORD and the other for the scapegoat,
eye wòadzidze nu, anya gbɔ̃tsu si nye Yehowa tɔ kple esi nye Azazel tɔ, si ŋu wòaɖe asi le.
9 he shall present the goat chosen by lot for the LORD and sacrifice it as a sin offering.
Aron asa nu vɔ̃ vɔsa kple gbɔ̃tsu si nye Yehowa tɔ.
10 But the goat chosen by lot as the scapegoat shall be presented alive before the LORD to make atonement by sending it into the wilderness as the scapegoat.
Woatsɔ gbɔ̃tsu evelia si nye Azazel tɔ la agbagbe ava Yehowa ŋkume. Woaɖe dukɔwo ƒe nu vɔ̃wo ada ɖe edzi, eye woanyae ɖo ɖe Azazel gbɔ le gbedzi.
11 When Aaron presents the bull for his sin offering and makes atonement for himself and his household, he is to slaughter the bull for his own sin offering.
“Ne Aron tsɔ nyitsu la sa nu vɔ̃ vɔsa ɖe eya ŋutɔ kple eƒe ƒometɔwo ta vɔ la,
12 Then he must take a censer full of burning coals from the altar before the LORD, and two handfuls of finely ground fragrant incense, and take them inside the veil.
atsɔ dzoɖesonu, aɖe aka xɔxɔwo tso Yehowa ƒe vɔsamlekpui dzi ade eme, eye wòalɔ dzudzɔdonu si wotu memie la ƒe asiʋlo eve ayi xɔmetsovɔ la godo.
13 He is to put the incense on the fire before the LORD, and the cloud of incense will cover the mercy seat above the Testimony, so that he will not die.
Atsɔ dzudzɔdonu la akɔ ɖe dzoka xɔxɔawo dzi le afi ma, le Yehowa ŋkume, ale be dzudzɔdonu la ƒe dzudzɔ naxɔ amenuvevezikpui la dzi le nubablaɖaka la tame, ale be magakpɔ nubablaɖaka la tame ne wòaku o.
14 And he is to take some of the bull’s blood and sprinkle it with his finger on the east side of the mercy seat; then he shall sprinkle some of it with his finger seven times before the mercy seat.
Atsɔ nyitsu la ƒe ʋu ƒe ɖe ade asibidɛ eme, eye wòahlẽ ʋu la ɖe amenuvevezikpui la ƒe ɣedzeƒe lɔƒo, eye wòagahlẽe zi adre ɖe eŋgɔ.
15 Aaron shall then slaughter the goat for the sin offering for the people and bring its blood behind the veil, and with its blood he must do as he did with the bull’s blood: He is to sprinkle it against the mercy seat and in front of it.
“Ekema ado go, eye wòasa nu vɔ̃ vɔsa kple ameawo ƒe gbɔ̃tsu la, eye wòahlẽ eƒe ʋu ɖe xɔmetsovɔ la me, ahlẽe ɖe amenuvevezikpui la dzi kple eŋgɔ abe ale si wòwɔ kple nyitsu la ƒe ʋu ene.
16 So he shall make atonement for the Most Holy Place because of the impurities and rebellious acts of the Israelites in regard to all their sins. He is to do the same for the Tent of Meeting which abides among them, because it is surrounded by their impurities.
Ekema aɖe nu vɔ̃ ɖa le teƒe kɔkɔe la ŋu, elabena Israelviwo ƒe nu vɔ̃wo na wòzu nu makɔmakɔ, eye wòagaɖe nu vɔ̃ ɖa le Agbadɔ si le ameawo dome, eye woƒe nu vɔ̃wo ƒo xlãe la hã ŋu.
17 No one may be in the Tent of Meeting from the time Aaron goes in to make atonement in the Most Holy Place until he leaves, after he has made atonement for himself, his household, and the whole assembly of Israel.
Ame bubu aɖeke mekpɔ mɔ anɔ Agbadɔ la me ne Aron ge ɖe eme be yeaɖe nu vɔ̃ ɖa le Teƒe Kɔkɔe la ŋu o va se ɖe esime wòalé avu le eya ŋutɔ ɖokui, eƒe aƒemetɔwo kple Israelviwo katã ta, eye wòagado go.
18 Then he shall go out to the altar that is before the LORD and make atonement for it. He is to take some of the bull’s blood and some of the goat’s blood and put it on all the horns of the altar.
“Azɔ la, ado go ayi vɔsamlekpui la gbɔ le Yehowa ŋkume, eye wòaɖe nu vɔ̃ ɖa le eŋu. Ele be wòasisi nyitsu la kple gbɔ̃tsu la ƒe ʋu ɖe vɔsamlekpui la ƒe lãdzowo ŋu,
19 He is to sprinkle some of the blood on it with his finger seven times to cleanse it and consecrate it from the uncleanness of the Israelites.
eye wòahlẽ ʋu la ƒe ɖe ɖe vɔsamlekpui la dzi zi adre kple eƒe asibidɛ. Ale wòakɔ eŋuti tso Israelviwo ƒe nu vɔ̃wo me, eye wòawɔe kɔkɔe.
20 When Aaron has finished purifying the Most Holy Place, the Tent of Meeting, and the altar, he is to bring forward the live goat.
“Ne ewu nu vɔ̃wo ɖeɖe ɖa le Teƒe Kɔkɔe la, Agbadɔ blibo la kple vɔsamlekpui la ŋu ƒe wɔnawo nu la, ahe gbɔ̃ gbagbe si wotia na Azazel la vɛ.
21 Then he is to lay both hands on the head of the live goat and confess over it all the iniquities and rebellious acts of the Israelites in regard to all their sins. He is to put them on the goat’s head and send it away into the wilderness by the hand of a man appointed for the task.
Ada eƒe asi eveawo ɖe gbɔ̃tsu la ƒe ta dzi, eye wòaʋu Israelviwo ƒe nu vɔ̃wo katã me ɖe edzi. Adro woƒe nu vɔ̃wo katã ɖe gbɔ̃ la ƒe ta dzi, eye wòana ame aɖe si wotia da ɖi la nakplɔ gbɔ̃ la ayi ɖe gbedzi.
22 The goat will carry on itself all their iniquities into a solitary place, and the man will release it into the wilderness.
Ale gbɔ̃ la atsɔ ameawo ƒe nu vɔ̃wo katã ayi gbedadaƒo, eye ame la aɖe asi le gbɔ̃ la ŋu ɖe gbedadaƒo afi ma.
23 Then Aaron is to enter the Tent of Meeting, take off the linen garments he put on before entering the Most Holy Place, and leave them there.
“Azɔ la, Aron agayi Agbadɔ la me, eye wòaɖe aklalawu siwo wòdo esi wòyi xɔmetsovɔ la godo, eye wòagblẽ wo ɖe afi ma le Agbadɔ la me.
24 He is to bathe himself with water in a holy place and put on his own clothes. Then he must go out and sacrifice his burnt offering and the people’s burnt offering to make atonement for himself and for the people.
Esia megbe la, ale tsi le teƒe kɔkɔe aɖe, agado awuawo, ayi aɖasa eya ŋutɔ ƒe numevɔ kple ameawo ƒe numevɔ, eye wòalé avu ɖe eya ŋutɔ kple ameawo ta.
25 He is also to burn the fat of the sin offering on the altar.
Ekema atɔ dzo nu vɔ̃ ŋuti vɔsalãwo ƒe ami ɖe vɔsamlekpui la dzi.
26 The man who released the goat as the scapegoat must wash his clothes and bathe himself with water; afterward he may reenter the camp.
“Ame si kplɔ gbɔ̃tsu la yi na Azazel le gbedzi la, agbɔ ava nya eƒe awuwo, ale tsi, eye wòayi asaɖa la me.
27 The bull for the sin offering and the goat for the sin offering, whose blood was brought into the Most Holy Place to make atonement, must be taken outside the camp; and their hides, flesh, and dung must be burned up.
Woatsɔ nyitsu kple gbɔ̃tsu si Aron tsɔ sa nu vɔ̃ vɔsa, eye wòtsɔ woƒe ʋu yi Teƒe Kɔkɔe la hena avuléle la ayi asaɖa la godo, eye woatɔ dzo wo kpe ɖe woƒe agbalẽ kple dɔmenuwo ŋu.
28 The one who burns them must wash his clothes and bathe himself with water, and afterward he may reenter the camp.
Emegbe la, ame si tɔ dzo lãawo la, anya eƒe awuwo, ale tsi, eye wòatrɔ ayi asaɖa la me.
29 This is to be a permanent statute for you: On the tenth day of the seventh month, you shall humble yourselves and not do any work—whether the native or the foreigner who resides among you—
“Esia nanye ɖoɖo mavɔ na mi: le ɣleti adrelia ƒe ŋkeke ewolia dzi la, ele be miagbe nu le mia ɖokuiwo gbɔ, eye miawɔ dɔ aɖeke o, eɖanye dzɔleaƒea loo alo amedzro si le mia dome o,
30 because on this day atonement will be made for you to cleanse you, and you will be clean from all your sins before the LORD.
elabena le ŋkeke sia dzi woalé avu na mi, akɔ mia ŋuti. Ekema le Yehowa ŋkume la, mia ŋuti akɔ tso miaƒe nu vɔ̃wo katã me.
31 It is a Sabbath of complete rest for you, that you may humble yourselves; it is a permanent statute.
Enye dzudzɔgbe na mi, miawɔ ŋkeke la ŋu dɔ na nutsitsidɔ. Esia nye se mavɔ na mi.
32 The priest who is anointed and ordained to succeed his father as high priest shall make atonement. He will put on the sacred linen garments
Le dzidzime bubuwo ƒe ɣeyiɣiwo me la, nunɔlagã si wosi ami na, eye wokɔ eŋuti ɖe Tɔgbuia Aron teƒe lae awɔ ŋutikɔkɔ kɔnu sia. Eyae nye ame si ado aklalawu kɔkɔeawo,
33 and make atonement for the Most Holy Place, the Tent of Meeting, and the altar, and for the priests and all the people of the assembly.
eye wòakɔ Teƒe Kɔkɔe la, Agbadɔ la, vɔsamlekpui la, nunɔlawo kple ameawo ŋu.
34 This is to be a permanent statute for you, to make atonement once a year for the Israelites because of all their sins.” And all this was done as the LORD had commanded Moses.
“Esia anye se mavɔ na mi; woalé avu ɖe Israelviwo ta ƒe sia ƒe le woƒe nu vɔ̃wo ta.” Eye wowɔ abe ale si Yehowa de se na Mose ene. Eye miawɔ abe ale si Yehowa de se na Mose ene.
