Exodus 29
1 “But you shall also do this, so that they may be consecrated to me in the priesthood: Take a calf from the herd, and two immaculate rams,
“Wɔ nu siawo hena Aron kple via ŋutsuwo ŋuti kɔkɔ kple wo ɖoɖo nunɔlawoe. Lé nyitsu fɛ̃ ɖeka kple agbo eve siwo ŋu naneke megblẽ le o,
2 and unleavened bread, and a crust without leaven that has been sprinkled with oil, likewise, unleavened cakes smeared with oil. You shall make them all from the same wheat flour.
eye nàtsɔ abolo si wowɔ kple amɔ maʋamaʋã, abolo vivi si woblu kple ami kple akpɔnɔ siwo dzi wokɔ ami ɖo. Woatsɔ wɔ memi awɔ aboloawo kple akpɔnɔawo.
3 And, having placed them in baskets, you shall offer them, along with the calf and the two rams.
Tsɔ wo de kusi aɖe me, eye nàtsɔ kusi la, nyi la kple agbo aveawo vɛ.
4 And you shall bring forward Aaron and his sons, to the door of the tabernacle of the testimony. And when you will have washed the father with his sons in water,
Le tsi na Aron kple via ŋutsuwo le agbadɔ la ƒe mɔnu.
5 you shall clothe Aaron in his vestments, that is, with the linen, and the tunic, and the ephod, and the breastplate, which you shall draw together with the wide belt.
Do Aron ƒe dziwui, kɔmewu ʋlaya, kɔmewu la ŋutɔ kple akɔtatsyɔnu la nɛ, tsɔ alidziblanu si wolɔ̃ aɖaŋutɔe la bla ali dzi nɛ,
6 And you shall place the headdress on his head and the holy plate upon the headdress.
eye nàtsɔ tablanu la kple sikaŋgoblanu kɔkɔe la ɖo ta nɛ.
7 And you shall pour the oil of unction over his head. And so, by this rite, he shall be consecrated.
Tsɔ ami kɔkɔe la, eye nàsi ami ɖe ta nɛ.
8 Likewise, you shall bring forward his sons, and you shall clothe them in the linen tunics, and wrap them with the wide belt:
Yɔ via ŋutsuwo vɛ, eye nàtsɔ woƒe dziwuiwo ado na wo.
9 Aaron, certainly, as well as his sons. And you shall impose headdresses upon them. And they shall be priests to me by a perpetual ordinance. After you have initiated their hands,
Bla ta na wo kple woƒe tablanuwo, tsɔ alidziblanu tso gae ɖe woƒe akɔta, ahablae ɖe axame na Aron kple via ŋutsuwo, ale be nunɔladɔ nanye wo tɔ tegbee. Aleae nàɖo Aron kple viawo nunɔlawoe.
10 you shall bring forward also the calf, in the presence of the tabernacle of the testimony. And Aaron and his sons shall lay their hands upon its head.
“Emegbe la, he nyitsu la va agbadɔ la ŋgɔ, eye nàna Aron kple via ŋutsuwo nada asi ɖe nyitsu la ƒe ta dzi.
11 And you shall sacrifice it in the sight of the Lord, beside the door of the tabernacle of the testimony.
Wui le Yehowa ŋkume le agbadɔ la ƒe mɔnu.
12 And taking some of the blood of the calf, you shall place it upon the horns of the altar with your finger, but the remainder of the blood you shall pour next to its base.
Tsɔ wò asibidɛ de eƒe ʋu me, sisi ʋu la ɖe vɔsamlekpui la ƒe lãdzowo ŋu, eye nàkɔ ʋu mamlɛa katã ɖe vɔsamlekpui la te.
13 And you shall take all the fat which covers its intestines, and the mesh of the liver, as well as the two kidneys, and the fat that is on them, and you shall offer them as a burnt offering upon the altar.
Emegbe nàɖe ami si le nyitsu la ƒe dɔmenuwo ŋu. Ɖe aklã kple ayiku eveawo kple ami si le wo ŋu, eye nàtɔ dzo wo le vɔsamlekpui la dzi.
14 Yet truly, the flesh of the calf, and the hide and the dung, you shall burn outside, beyond the camp, because it is for sin.
Esia megbe la, nàtɔ dzo lã blibo la kple eƒe ayi kple afɔdzi si le dɔ me nɛ la le asaɖa la godo abe nuvɔ̃ŋutivɔsa ene.
15 Likewise, you shall take one ram, and upon its head Aaron and his sons shall lay their hands.
“Emegbe la, Aron kple via ŋutsuwo nada asi ɖe agboawo dometɔ ɖeka ƒe ta dzi,
16 And when you will have sacrificed it, you shall take from its blood and pour it around the altar.
eye nàwui. Woaɖe eya hã ƒe ʋu ahlẽ ɖe vɔsamlekpui la ŋu kpe ɖo.
17 Then you shall cut the ram into pieces, and, having washed its intestines and feet, you shall place these upon the cut-up flesh and upon its head.
Fli agbo la, kpala lã la, eƒe dɔmenuwo kple eƒe afɔwo, eye nàtsɔ wo da ɖe eƒe ta kple lãkɔ bubuawo dzi.
18 And you shall offer the entire ram as a burnt offering upon the altar. It is an oblation to the Lord, a most sweet odor of the victim of the Lord.
Tɔ dzo lã blibo la ɖe vɔsamlekpui la dzi. Numevɔsae wònye na Yehowa, eye wòdzea eŋu ŋutɔ.
19 Likewise, you shall take the other ram, upon whose head Aaron and his sons shall lay their hands.
“Azɔ la, he agbo evelia vɛ. Na Aron kple via ŋutsuwo nada asi ɖe eya hã ƒe ta dzi.
20 And when you will have immolated it, you shall take of its blood, and place it on the tip of the right ear of Aaron and his sons, and on the thumbs and big toes of their right hand and right foot, and you shall pour the blood upon the altar, all around.
Wui eye nàɖe ʋu la asi ɖe Aron kple via ŋutsuwo ƒe nuɖusitowo, woƒe degblefetsu ɖusitɔwo kple woƒe nuɖusi ƒe afɔbidɛ gãtɔwo ŋu. Hlẽ ʋu mamlɛa ɖe vɔsamlekpui la ŋu kpe ɖo.
21 And when you have taken from the blood that is on the altar, and from the oil of unction, you shall sprinkle Aaron and his vestment, his sons and their vestments. And after they and their vestments have been consecrated,
Emegbe la, nàha ʋu la ƒe ɖe le vɔsamlekpui la ŋu, nàtsakae kple amisisi la, eye nàhlẽe ɖe Aron kple via ŋutsuawo ƒe awuwo ŋu. Ekema woawo ŋutɔwo kple woƒe awuwo ŋu akɔ na Yehowa.
22 you shall take the fat of the ram, and the rump, and the lard that covers the internal organs, and the mesh of the liver, and the two kidneys along with the fat that is on them, and the right shoulder, because it is the ram of consecration,
“Azɔ ɖe agbo la ƒe ami kpe ɖe asike dami la, ami si le eƒe dɔmenuwo ŋu, nàɖe eƒe aklã kple ayiku eveawo kple ami si le wo ŋu kpe ɖe agbo la ƒe ɖusimeta ŋu. (Esiae nye agbo na Aron kple via ŋutsuwo ɖoɖo nunɔlawoe.)
23 and one turn of bread, a crust sprinkled with oil, and a cake from the basket of unleavened bread, which was placed in the sight of the Lord.
Tsɔ nu siawo kpe ɖe abolo bɔbɔe ɖeka kple abolo vivi ɖeka kple akpɔnɔ ɖeka ŋu tso kusi si me abolo si wowɔ kple amɔ maʋamaʋã si woda ɖe Yehowa ŋkume la me.
24 And you shall place all these in the hands of Aaron and his sons, and you shall sanctify them, lifting them up in the sight of the Lord.
Tsɔ nu siawo de asi na Aron kple viawo. Na woanye wo le yame abe vɔsa na Yehowa ƒe dzesi ene.
25 And you shall take all these things from their hands and burn them upon the altar as a holocaust, as a most sweet odor in the sight of the Lord, because it is his oblation.
Le esia yome la, xɔ nu siawo le wo si, eye nàtɔ dzo wo ɖe vɔsamlekpui la dzi abe numeme si ʋẽna lĩlĩlĩ ɖe Yehowa ene.
26 Likewise, you shall take the chest of the ram, with which Aaron was initiated, and you shall sanctify it, lifting it up in the sight of the Lord, and it will fall to your share.
Ɖe agbo si wòwu hena Aron ɖoɖo nunɔlae la ƒe akɔ. Nyee le yame le Yehowa ŋkume abe vɔsa ƒe dzesi ene. Akɔ sia nazu tɔwò.
27 And you shall sanctify both the consecrated chest and the shoulder that you separated from the ram,
“Tsɔ agbo si wowu hena Aron kple via ŋutsuwo ŋuti kɔkɔ la ƒe akɔta kple atawo na Aron kple via ŋutsuwo.
28 with which Aaron was initiated with his sons, and these will fall to the share of Aaron and his sons, as a perpetual oath by the sons of Israel. For these are the greatest and the first of their victims of peace, which they offer to the Lord.
Ele be Israelviwo nadzɔ woƒe vɔsalãwo ƒe akpa siawo ɣe sia ɣi, nenye ŋutifafavɔsa loo alo akpedavɔsa abe woƒe vɔsa na Yehowa ene.
29 But the holy vestment, which Aaron shall use, his sons shall possess after him, so that they may be anointed in it and their hands may be consecrated.
“Ele be woadzra eƒe awu kɔkɔeawo ɖo hena Via ŋutsu si ava xɔ ɖe eteƒe la ŋuti kɔkɔ ne wole eŋuti kɔm tso dzidzime yi dzidzime.
30 For seven days, he who is high priest in his place and who enters the tabernacle of the testimony to minister in the Sanctuary shall use it.
Ame sia ame si ava nye nunɔlagã le Aron megbe la ado awu siawo ŋkeke adre hafi ade asi subɔsubɔdɔwo wɔwɔ me le agbadɔ la me kple Kɔkɔeƒe la siaa.
31 But you shall take the ram of consecration and cook its flesh in the holy place.
“Tsɔ agbo si ŋu dɔ wowɔ le nunɔlawo ɖoɖo me, eye nàɖa eƒe lã le teƒe kɔkɔe aɖe.
32 And Aaron and his sons shall feed on it. Likewise, the loaves which are in the basket, they shall consume in the vestibule of the tabernacle of the testimony,
Na Aron kple via ŋutsuwo naɖu lã la kple abolo si le kusi la me le agbadɔ la ƒe mɔnu.
33 so that it may be an appeasing sacrifice, and so that the hands of those who offer may be sanctified. A stranger shall not eat from these, for they are holy.
Ale woaɖu nu si wotsɔ ɖe woƒe nu vɔ̃wo ɖae hafi ɖo wo nunɔlawoe hekɔ wo ŋuti. Ame bubu aɖeke mekpɔ mɔ aɖu wo o, elabena nu kɔkɔewo wonye.
34 And what may remain until morning, of the consecrated flesh or of the bread, you shall burn these remnants with fire. These shall not be eaten, because they have been sanctified.
Nenye be agbo si wotsɔ ɖo wo nunɔlawoe la ƒe lã aɖe susɔ alo abolo la ƒe ɖe susɔ ŋu ke ɖe edzi la, tɔ dzoe. Mele be woaɖui o, elabena ele kɔkɔe.
35 All that I have instructed you concerning Aaron and his sons, you shall do. For seven days shall you consecrate their hands,
“Ale nàɖo Aron kple via ŋutsuwo nunɔlawo le mɔ sia nu. Wo ɖoɖo nanɔ edzi ŋkeke adre.
36 and you shall offer a calf for sin on each day, as an atonement. And you shall cleanse the altar when you will have immolated the victim of expiation, and you shall anoint it for sanctification.
Ele be nàtsɔ nyitsu ɖeka awɔ nuvɔ̃ŋutivɔsa gbe sia gbe. Emegbe la, nàkɔ vɔsa la ŋu to nu vɔ̃ ɖeɖe ɖa le eŋu me. Kɔ ami ɖe edzi be eŋu nakɔ.
37 For seven days, you shall expiate and sanctify the altar, and it shall be the Holy of holies. All those who will touch it must be sanctified.
Me avulénuwo le vɔsamlekpui la dzi gbe sia gbe ŋkeke adre be nàkɔ vɔsamlekpui la ŋu na Mawu. Le esia megbe la, vɔsamlekpui la azu kɔkɔe, nu sia nu si aka eŋu la hã azu kɔkɔe, eye ame siwo le kɔkɔe la koe aka asi eŋu.”
38 This is what you shall acquire for the altar: Two one-year-old lambs, each day continually,
“Tsɔ alẽ eve sa vɔe ɖe vɔsamlekpui la dzi gbe sia gbe,
39 one lamb in the morning, and the other in the evening;
ɖeka le ŋdi me, eye evelia le fiẽ me.
40 for the one lamb, a tenth part of fine flour sprinkled with crushed oil, which shall have the measure of the fourth part of a hin, and wine for a libation, of the same measure;
Tsɔ wɔ memi kilogram ɖeka, ami lita ɖeka kple wain lita ɖeka kpe ɖe alẽ ɖeka ŋu.
41 truly, the other lamb you shall offer in the evening, according to the ritual of the morning oblation, and according to what we have said, as an odor of sweetness.
Tsɔ alẽ evelia kple wɔ memi la kple wain sa vɔe le fiẽ me abe ale si nèwɔ le ŋdi me ene, wòanye vɔsa si ʋẽna lĩlĩlĩ na Yehowa.
42 It is a sacrifice to the Lord, by a perpetual oblation among your generations, at the door of the tabernacle of the testimony before the Lord, where I resolve to speak to you.
“Esiae nye numevɔsa si miawo kple miaƒe dzidzimeviwo miawɔ gbe sia gbe na Yehowa le agbadɔ la ƒe mɔnu. Mado go wò le afi ma, eye maƒo nu kpli wò.
43 And there I will instruct the sons of Israel, and the altar shall be sanctified by my glory.
Mado go Israelviwo le afi ma, eye nye ŋutikɔkɔe akɔ agbadɔ la ŋu.
44 I will also sanctify the tabernacle of the testimony with the altar, and Aaron with his sons, to exercise the priesthood for me.
Ɛ̃, makɔ agbadɔ la, vɔsamlekpui la, Aron kple via ŋutsuwo, ame siwo nye subɔlawo kple nunɔlawo la ŋu.
45 And I will live in the midst of the sons of Israel, and I will be their God.
Manɔ Israelviwo dome, manye woƒe Mawu,
46 And they shall know that I am the Lord their God, who led them away from the land of Egypt, so that I might dwell among them. I am the Lord their God.”
eye woanya be, nyee nye Yehowa, woƒe Mawu la. Mekplɔ wo tso Egipte ale be mate ŋu anɔ wo dome. Nyee nye Yehowa, woƒe Mawu la.”
