Exodus 30
1 And you are to make an altar for the burning of perfume; of hard wood let it be made.
“Tsɔ akasiati wɔ vɔsamlekpui aɖe si dzi woado dzudzɔ ʋeʋĩ ɖo.
2 The altar is to be square, a cubit long and a cubit wide, and two cubits high, and its horns are to be made of the same.
Na eƒe didime kple kekeme siaa nanɔ sentimita blaene-vɔ-atɔ̃, eye wòakɔ sentimita blaasiekɛ. Tsɔ akasiati ke kpa lãdzowo ɖe vɔsamlekpui la ŋu woanye nu ɖeka.
3 It is to be plated with the best gold, the top of it and the sides and the horns, with an edging of gold all round it.
Fa sika nyuitɔ ɖe vɔsamlekpui la tame kple eƒe axadziwo kple lãdzoawo ŋu, eye nàgatsɔ sika nyuitɔ aɖo atsyɔ̃ na vɔsamlekpui la ƒe towo katã.
4 Under the edge on the two opposite sides, you are to make two gold rings, to take the rods for lifting it.
Wɔ sikagagɔdɔ̃e eve ɖe atsyɔ̃ɖonu la te, ɖe eƒe axa eveawo, be woatsɔ vɔsamlekpui la kɔtiwo aƒo ɖe wo me.
5 And make these rods of the same wood, plating them with gold.
Woawɔ vɔsamlekpui la kɔtiwo kple akasiati, eye woafa sika ɖe wo ŋu.
6 And let it be placed in front of the veil before the ark of the law, before the cover which is over the law, where I will come face to face with you.
Tsɔ vɔsamlekpui la da ɖe xɔmetsovɔ la ŋgɔ, wòate ɖe amenuveve ƒe nutsyɔnu si nye nubablaɖaka si me Se Ewoawo le la kasa, afi si mado go wò le.
7 And on this altar sweet spices are to be burned by Aaron every morning when he sees to the lights.
“Ŋdi sia ŋdi la, Aron ado dzudzɔ kple atike ʋeʋĩ le vɔsamlekpui la dzi, ne ebɔbɔ akaɖigbɛawo ɖe eme.
8 And every evening, when he puts the lights up in their places, the spices are to be burned, a sweet-smelling smoke going up before the Lord from generation to generation for ever.
Fiẽ sia fiẽ la, Aron agado dzudzɔ kple lifi le Yehowa ŋkume, ne esi akaɖiawo. Nu sia ayi edzi tso dzidzime yi dzidzime.
9 No strange perfume, no burned offering or meal offering, and no drink offering is to be offered on it.
Mègawɔ dzudzɔdovɔsa, numevɔsa, nuɖuvɔsa alo nunovɔsa bubu aɖeke si ŋu nyemeɖe mɔ le o.
10 And once every year Aaron is to make its horns clean: with the blood of the sin-offering he is to make it clean once every year from generation to generation: it is most holy to the Lord.
“Zi ɖeka le ƒe ɖe sia ɖe me la, Aron awɔ avulévɔsa na eƒe lãdzoawo. Woawɔ ƒe sia ƒe ƒe avulévɔsa kple nu vɔ̃ ƒe avulévɔsalã ƒe ʋu le dzidzimewo katã me. Enye nu kɔkɔetɔ kekeake na Yehowa.”
11 And the Lord said to Moses,
Yehowa gblɔ na Mose be,
12 When you are taking the number of the children of Israel, let every man who is numbered give to the Lord a price for his life, so that no disease may come on them when they are numbered.
“Ɣe sia ɣi si nàxlẽ Israelviwo la, ele be ame sia ame si woaxlẽ la, naxe fe na Yehowa ɖe eƒe agbe ta, ale be dɔvɔ̃ manɔ ameawo dome ne èle wo xlẽm o.
13 And this is what they are to give; let every man who is numbered give half a shekel, by the scale of the holy place: (the shekel being valued at twenty gerahs: ) this money is an offering to the Lord.
Ga si ame sia ame si woxlẽ naxe la nye klosalo gram ade. Ke nu si woaxe la aku ɖe kɔkɔeƒe ga home si woabia tso wo si le ƒe ma me la ŋu. Woadzɔ nu sia na Yehowa.
14 Everyone who is numbered, from twenty years old and over, is to give an offering to the Lord.
Ame sia ame si wotia, eye wòxɔ ƒe blaeve alo wu nenema la nadzɔ nu na Yehowa.
15 The man of wealth is to give no more and the poor man no less than the half-shekel of silver, when the offering is made to the Lord as the price for your lives.
Hotsuitɔwo maxe fe sia wòawu home si meyɔ o, eye ame dahewo hã mana nu wòanɔ sue wu o, elabena vɔsae wònye na Yehowa hena miaƒe nu vɔ̃wo ƒe tsɔtsɔke.
16 And you are to take this money from the children of Israel to be used for the work of the Tent of meeting, to keep the memory of the children of Israel before the Lord and to be the price of your lives.
“Wɔ ga sia ŋu dɔ hena agbadɔ la dzadzraɖo. Eyae aɖo ŋku Israelviwo dzi na Yehowa, eye wòanye avulénu ɖe mia ta.”
17 And the Lord said to Moses,
Eye Yehowa gblɔ na Mose be,
18 You are to make a brass washing-vessel, with a brass base; and put it between the Tent of meeting and the altar, with water in it;
“Tsɔ akɔbli wɔ gagbɛ aɖe kple eƒe zɔ hena ŋutikɔklɔ. Tsɔe da ɖe agbadɔ la kple vɔsamlekpui la dome, eye nàkɔ tsi ɖe eme.
19 That it may be used by Aaron and his sons for washing their hands and feet;
Na Aron kple via ŋutsuwo naklɔ asi kple afɔ le afi sia,
20 Whenever they go into the Tent of meeting they are to be washed with water, to keep them from death; and whenever they come near to do the work of the altar, or to make an offering by fire to the Lord,
ne woyina agbadɔ la me be woado ɖe Yehowa ŋkume alo hafi woate ɖe vɔsamlekpui la ŋu be woasa vɔ na Yehowa. Ele be woaklɔ asi kple afɔ hafi awɔ nu siawo, ne menye nenema o la, woaku.
21 Their hands and feet are to be washed. so that they may be safe from death: this is an order to them for ever; to him and his seed from generation to generation.
Esiawoe nye ɖoɖowo na Aron kple via ŋutsuwo tso dzidzime yi dzidzime.”
22 And the Lord said to Moses,
Yehowa gblɔ na Mose be,
23 Take the best spices, five hundred shekels' weight of liquid myrrh, and of sweet cinnamon half as much, that is, two hundred and fifty shekels, and two hundred and fifty shekels of sweet calamus,
“Ƒo atike ʋeʋĩ nyuitɔwo nu ƒu ale: ‘Mira’ nyuitɔ kilogram ade, ‘sinamon’ kilogram etɔ̃, atike ʋeʋĩ kilogram etɔ̃,
24 And of cassia, five hundred shekels' weight measured by the scale of the holy place, and of olive oil a hin:
‘akasea’ kilogram ade kple ami lita ene le kɔkɔeƒe la ƒe dzidzenu nu.
25 And make these into a holy oil, a perfume made by the art of the perfume-maker; it is to be a holy oil.
Yehowa gblɔ na amiʋeʋĩwɔla xɔŋkɔwo be woatsɔ atike siawo awɔ amisisi kɔkɔe lae. Anye dzudzɔdonu kɔkɔe abe ale si amiʋeʋĩwɔla nyuitɔwo wɔnɛ ene.”
26 This oil is to be put on the Tent of meeting, and on the ark of the law,
Yehowa gblɔ be, “Si ami sia na agbadɔ la, nubablaɖaka la,
27 And on the table and all its vessels, and on the support for the lights, with its vessels, and on the altar for burning spices,
kplɔ̃ la kple eŋunuwo, akaɖiti la kple eŋunuwo, dzudzɔdovɔsamlekpui la,
28 And on the altar of burned offerings with its vessels, and on the washing-vessel and its base.
numevɔsamlekpui la kple eŋunuwo kple asiklɔgagbɛ la kple eƒe afɔ.
29 And you are to make them most holy; anything touching them will become holy.
Kɔ wo ŋu woazu kɔkɔe; nu sia nu si aka wo ŋu la azu kɔkɔe na Mawu.
30 And put the oil on Aaron and his sons, making them holy to do the work of priests to me.
“Tsɔe si ami na Aron kple via ŋutsuwo, eye nàkɔ wo ŋu hena subɔsubɔdɔwo wɔwɔ nam abe nunɔlawo ene.
31 And say to the children of Israel, This is to be the Lord's holy oil, from generation to generation.
Gblɔ na Israelviwo be, ‘Ami sia anye ami kɔkɔe si miasi na amewo ɣe sia ɣi.
32 It is not to be used for man's flesh, and no other is to be made like it: holy it is, and you are to keep it holy.
Womakɔe ɖe ame dzodzro aɖeke dzi o, eye ame aɖeke mawɔ etɔgbi na eɖokui o, elabena ami kɔkɔe wònye, eye ele be ame sia ame nabui ami kɔkɔe.
33 Whoever makes any like it, or puts it on one who is not a priest, will be cut off from his people.
Ele be woaɖe ame sia ame si awɔ etɔgbi alo atsɔe asi na ame aɖe si menye nunɔla o la le ha me.’”
34 And the Lord said to Moses, Take sweet spices, stacte and onycha and galbanum, with the best frankincense, in equal weights;
Yehowa gblɔ na Mose be, “Tsɔ atike ʋeʋĩwo, lifi lãhe, onitsa, galbanum kple lifi nyuitɔ kpekpeme ma ke na ɖe sia ɖe,
35 And make from them a perfume, such as is made by the art of the perfume-maker, mixed with salt, and clean and holy.
eye nàtsɔ wo awɔ dzudzɔdonu abe ale si dzudzɔdonuwɔlawo wɔnɛ ɣe sia ɣi ene pɛpɛpɛ. De dze sue aɖe eme, eye wòanye dzudzɔdonu kɔkɔe si dza.
36 And put some of it, crushed very small, in front of the ark in the Tent of meeting, where I will come face to face with you; it is to be most holy.
Tu eƒe ɖe memie eye nàtsɔ eƒe ɖe da ɖe nubablaɖaka la ŋgɔ, afi si medoa go wò le, le agbadɔ la me. Dzudzɔdonu sia le kɔkɔe.
37 You are not to make any perfume like it for yourselves: it is to be kept holy to the Lord.
Migawɔ etɔgbi na mia ɖokuiwo gbeɖegbeɖe o, elabena enye nu kɔkɔe na Yehowa ɖeɖe ko.
38 Whoever makes any like it, for its sweet smell, will be cut off from his people.
Ame si awɔ esia tɔgbi be eƒe ʋeʋẽ lĩlĩlĩ nado dzidzɔ nɛ la, ele be woaɖee ɖa le eƒe dukɔ la dome.”
