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.
Aaron mmammarima baanu a wɔwuwuu wɔ Awurade anim wuo akyi no, Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose sɛ,
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.
“Bɔ wo nua Aaron kɔkɔ sɛ, ɔnnkɔ kronkronbea hɔ wɔ ntwamutam no akyi beaeɛ a apam adaka no si ne mmɔborɔhunu beaeɛ hɔ kwa. Ɔkɔ hɔ a ɔbɛwu, ɛfiri sɛ, mʼankasa mewɔ omununkum a ɛkata mpata beaeɛ so no mu.
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.
“Sɛ ɔpɛ sɛ ɔkɔ hɔ a, deɛ ɛsɛ sɛ ɔyɛ nie: Ɛsɛ sɛ ɔde nantwinini ba ba ma wɔde bɔ bɔne ho afɔdeɛ na ɔde odwennini nso ba ma wɔde bɔ ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ.
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.
Ɛsɛ sɛ ɔdware na ɔhyɛ atadeɛ nahanaha ne ne nhyɛaseɛ na ɔbɔ abɔwomu ne abotire.
5 And he shall take from the congregation of Israel two male goats for a sin offering and one ram for a burnt offering.
Afei, Israelfoɔ bɛbrɛ no mmirekyie mmienu a wɔde bɛbɔ wɔn bɔne ho afɔdeɛ ne odwennini a wɔde bɛbɔ wɔn ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ.
6 Aaron is to present the bull for his sin offering and make atonement for himself and his household.
“Deɛ ɛdi ɛkan no, ɔde nantwie ba no bɛma Awurade sɛ bɔne ho afɔdeɛ a ɔrebɔ ama ne ho de ayɛ mpatadeɛ ama ne ho ne ne fiefoɔ.
7 Then he shall take the two goats and present them before the LORD at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting.
Afei, ɔde mmirekyie mmienu no bɛba Awurade anim wɔ Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no ano
8 After Aaron casts lots for the two goats, one for the LORD and the other for the scapegoat,
na wɔabɔ wɔn so ntonto ahunu Awurade deɛ, ne deɛ ɛsɛ sɛ wɔsane de no korɔ.
9 he shall present the goat chosen by lot for the LORD and sacrifice it as a sin offering.
Aaron de abirekyie a wɔde no rebɛbɔ Awurade afɔdeɛ no bɛbɔ bɔne ho afɔdeɛ.
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.
Wɔrenkum abirekyie baako a aka no na wɔde no aba Awurade anim. Wɔbɛyɛ mpatadeɛ ho dwumadie bi agu ne so na wɔde no akɔ ɛserɛ so akɔgya no wɔ hɔ sɛ mpatadwan.
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.
“Aaron de nantwinini ba no abɔ bɔne ho afɔdeɛ ama ne ho ne ne fiefoɔ awie no,
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.
ɔbɛfa adeɛ a wɔhye aduhwam wɔ mu a egyasramma a wɔfaa no Awurade afɔrebukyia no so ayɛ no ma. Afei ɔde aduhwam a wɔayam no muhumuhu bɛyɛ ne nsam na ɔde akɔ ntwamutam no akyi.
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.
Ɛhɔ na ɔde aduhwam no bɛgu bidie no so wɔ Awurade anim na ayi wisie kumɔnn wɔ mpata beaeɛ apam ne adaka (a aboɔ apono a wɔatwerɛ Mmaransɛm Edu agu so wɔ mu) no so nyinaa sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a ɔrenwu.
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.
Na ɔde nantwinini ba no mogya no bi bɛba na ɔde ne nsateaa baako abɔ mu apete mpata beaeɛ hɔ apueeɛ fam na wapete no mprɛnson wɔ animu.
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.
“Afei, ɛsɛ sɛ ɔfiri adi na ɔde abirekyie no kɔbɔ ɔmanfoɔ no bɔne ho afɔdeɛ na wɔde ne mogya no ba ntwamutam no akyi na wɔpete gu mpata beaeɛ hɔ ne animu sɛdeɛ ɔde nantwinini ba no mogya no yɛeɛ no ara pɛ.
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.
Na ɛkyerɛ sɛ, wayɛ mpatadeɛ ama beaeɛ kronkron hɔ, ɛfiri sɛ, Israelfoɔ bɔne ama efi aka beaeɛ hɔ ne Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no a wɔasi wɔ wɔn mfimfini hɔ no.
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.
Sɛ Aaron wura Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no mu kɔ kronkronbea hɔ rekɔyɛ mpatadwuma no a, ɛnni ho kwan sɛ obiara kɔ hɔ bi, gye sɛ ɔyɛ mpatadeɛ no ma ne ho ne ne fiefoɔ ne Israelfoɔ nyinaa wie.
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.
“Afei, ɔbɛkɔ afɔrebukyia no ho wɔ Awurade anim akɔyɛ mpatadeɛ ama afɔrebukyia no. Ɛsɛ sɛ ɔde nantwinini ba no ne abirekyie mogya no fɔre mmɛn a ɛtuatua afɔrebukyia no ho no ho,
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.
na ɔde ne nsateaa baako pete mogya no mprɛnson gu afɔrebukyia no so de te ho firi Israelfoɔ bɔne no ho yɛ no kronkron.
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.
“Sɛ ɔwie mpatadeɛ a ɛfa kronkronbea hɔ ne Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no ho nsɛm nyinaa ne afɔrebukyia no ho a, ɔde abirekyie no bɛba anikann
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.
de ne nsa mmienu agu aboa no apampam, na waka atirimuɔden ne atuateɛ a Israelfoɔ ayɛ, wɔn bɔne nyinaa de agu abirekyie no apampam, na obi a wɔayi no sɛ ɔnyɛ saa adwuma no de aboa no bɛkɔ ɛserɛ so.
22 The goat will carry on itself all their iniquities into a solitary place, and the man will release it into the wilderness.
Enti abirekyie no bɛsoa nnipa no bɔne nyinaa de akɔ asase a obi nte so no so na onii no agyaa no wɔ ɛserɛ so hɔ.
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.
“Afei, Aaron bɛkɔ Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan mu hɔ bio akɔworɔ nʼatadeɛ nahanaha a ɔhyɛɛ wɔ ntwamutam no akyi no na wagya no wɔ hɔ.
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.
Ɔbɛkɔ akɔdware wɔ baabi a wɔate hɔ ho na wahyɛ ne ntadeɛ no bio na wafiri adi akɔbɔ ɔno ankasa ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ asane abɔ ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ ama nnipa no na wayɛ mpatadeɛ ama ne ho ne wɔn.
25 He is also to burn the fat of the sin offering on the altar.
Ɔbɛhye sradeɛ de abɔ bɔne ho afɔdeɛ wɔ afɔrebukyia no so.
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.
“Akyire no, ɔbarima a ɔde abirekyie no kɔɔ ɛserɛ so no bɛsi ne ntoma na wadware na wasane aba beaeɛ hɔ bio.
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.
Na nantwie ba ne abirekyie a wɔde bɔɔ bɔne ho afɔdeɛ no a Aaron de wɔn mogya kɔɔ kronkronbea hɔ kɔyɛɛ mpatadeɛ no, wɔde wɔn bɛkɔ sraban no akyiri baabi akɔhye a wɔn ho nhoma ne wɔn ayamdeɛ ka ho.
28 The one who burns them must wash his clothes and bathe himself with water, and afterward he may reenter the camp.
Akyire yi, onipa a ɔrebɛhye afɔrebɔdeɛ no bɛsi ne ntoma, adware na wasane akɔ beaeɛ hɔ bio.
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—
“Yei yɛ mmara a ɛwɔ hɔ daa. Ɔbosome a ɛtɔ so nson dadu so no, ɛnsɛ sɛ moyɛ adwuma biara, na mmom, momfa saa ɛda no nkari mo ho nhwɛ wɔ ahobrɛaseɛ mu. Saa mmara yi ka wɔn a wɔwoo wɔn wɔ asase yi so anaa ahɔhoɔ a wɔne Israelfoɔ teɛ;
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.
ɛfiri sɛ, ɛda yi na wɔde kae mo mpata ne mo ahodwira wɔ mo bɔne ho wɔ Awurade anim.
31 It is a Sabbath of complete rest for you, that you may humble yourselves; it is a permanent statute.
Ɛyɛ homeda a ɛsɛ sɛ mode home enti ɛsɛ sɛ modi ɛda no dinn wɔ ahobrɛaseɛ mu. Ɛyɛ mmara a ɛwɔ hɔ daa.
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
Saa ahyɛdeɛ yi, awoɔ ntoatoasoɔ akyi, Ɔsɔfopanin a wɔasra no no na ɔbɛsi ne nana Aaron anan adi ho dwuma wɔ beaeɛ hɔ. Ɔno nko ara na ɔwɔ ho kwan sɛ ɔhyɛ atadeɛ kronkron nahanaha no
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.
na ɔyɛ mpatadeɛ wɔ kronkronbea hɔ wɔ Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan mu hɔ, afɔrebukyia no so, de ma asɔfoɔ no ne nnipa no.
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.
“Yei bɛyɛ mmara a ɛbɛtena hɔ daa ama mo, na Israelfoɔ bɔne enti, moagyina so afe biara de ayɛ mpatadeɛ ama Israelfoɔ afiri wɔn bɔne nyinaa mu.” Na Mose dii mmara a Awurade hyɛ maa no nyinaa so.
