Leviticus 23
1 And the Lord spake vnto Moses, saying,
Yehowa gblɔ na Mose be,
2 Speake vnto the children of Israel, and say vnto them, The feastes of ye Lord which yee shall call ye holie assemblies, euen these are my feasts.
“Ƒo nu na Israelviwo, eye nàgblɔ na wo be, ‘Esiawoe nye nye ŋkekenyui ɖoɖiwo, Yehowa ƒe ŋkekenyui ɖoɖi siwo miaɖe gbeƒãe abe takpekpe kɔkɔewo ene.
3 Six daies shall worke be done, but in the seuenth day shalbe the Sabbath of rest, an holie conuocation: ye shall do no worke therein, it is the Sabbath of the Lord, in all your dwellings.
“‘Esiawo akpe ɖe miaƒe dzudzɔgbewo ŋuti, dzudzɔgbe siawoe nye kɔsiɖa la ƒe ŋkeke adrea gbe, eye wònye ŋkeke siwo dzi miadzudzɔ le ɣe sia ɣi le miaƒe aƒewo me; miakpe ta asubɔm, eye miadzudzɔ tso miaƒe gbe sia gbe dɔwo wɔwɔ me.
4 These are the feastes of the Lord, and holie conuocations, which yee shall proclaime in their seasons.
“‘Esiawoe nye Yehowa ƒe ŋkeke kɔkɔe ɖoanyiawo, takpekpe kɔkɔe siwo miayɔ le ɣeyiɣi ɖoɖiawo dzi.
5 In the first moneth, and in the fourteenth day of the moneth at euening shalbe ye Passeouer of the Lord.
Yehowa Ƒe Ŋutitotoŋkekenyui la adze egɔme le ɣleti gbãtɔ ƒe ŋkeke wuienea gbe le fiẽ.
6 And on the fifteenth day of this moneth shalbe the feast of vnleauened bread vnto the Lord: seuen dayes ye shall eate vnleauened bread.
“‘Le ɣleti gbãtɔ ma ke ƒe ŋkeke wuiatɔ̃a gbe la, Yehowa ƒe Abolo Maʋamaʋã ƒe Ŋkekenyui adze egɔme. Hena ŋkeke adre la, miaɖu abolo si me womede amɔʋãtike o.
7 In the first day yee shall haue an holy conuocation: ye shall do no seruile worke therein.
Le ŋkekenyui sia ƒe ŋkeke gbãtɔ dzi la, àƒo ameawo nu ƒu hena mawusubɔsubɔ, eye miawɔ dɔ aɖeke o.
8 Also ye shall offer sacrifice made by fire vnto the Lord seuen daies, and in the seuenth day shalbe an holie conuocation: ye shall do no seruile worke therein.
Hena ŋkeke adre la, miawɔ dzovɔsa na Yehowa, eye le ŋkeke adrelia dzi la, yɔ takpekpe kɔkɔe, eye miawɔ dɔ aɖeke le ŋkeke la dzi o.’”
9 And the Lord spake vnto Moses, saying,
Yehowa gblɔ na Mose be,
10 Speake vnto the children of Israel, and say vnto them, When ye be come into ye land which I giue vnto you, and reape the haruest thereof, then ye shall bring a sheafe of the first fruites of your haruest vnto the Priest,
“Ƒo nu na Israelviwo, eye nàgblɔ na wo be, ‘Ne mieɖo anyigba si mele mia na ge dzi, eye miexa nukuwo la, mitsɔ lu babla gbãtɔ vɛ na nunɔla la.
11 And hee shall shake the sheafe before the Lord, that it may be acceptable for you: the morowe after the Sabbath, the Priest shall shake it.
Ele be wòanye lu babla la le yame le Yehowa ŋkume, ale be wòaxɔe na mi. Nunɔla la anyee le Yehowa ŋkume le Dzudzɔgbe la ƒe ŋufɔke.
12 And that day when yee shake the sheafe, shall yee prepare a lambe without blemish of a yeere olde, for a burnt offring vnto the Lord:
Gbe ma gbe ke miatsɔ alẽvi si xɔ ƒe ɖeka, eye wòle blibo la asa numevɔe na Yehowa.
13 And the meate offring thereof shalbe two tenth deales of fine floure mingled with oyle, for a sacrifice made by fire vnto ye Lord of sweete sauour. and the drinke offring thereof the fourth part of an Hin of wine.
Miatsɔ wɔ memee kilogram eve si woblu kple ami la asa numevɔ na Yehowa, eye wòanye ʋeʋẽ lĩlĩlĩ nɛ. Emegbe la, miatsɔ wain lita ɖeka asa nunovɔ.
14 And ye shall eat neither bread nor parched corne, nor greene eares vntill the selfe same day that ye haue brought an offring vnto your God: this shalbe a lawe for euer in your generations and in all your dwellings.
Miekpɔ mɔ aɖu abolo aɖeke, bli tɔtɔe alo bli yeye aɖeke o va se ɖe ŋkeke si dzi miawɔ vɔsa sia na miaƒe Mawu la. Esia anye ɖoɖo mavɔ na mi hena dzidzime siwo ava dzɔ le afi sia afi si mianɔ la.
15 Ye shall count also to you from the morowe after the Sabbath, euen from the day that yee shall bring the sheafe of the shake offring, seuen Sabbaths, they shalbe complete.
“‘Tso Dzudzɔgbe la ƒe ŋufɔke, gbe si gbe mietsɔ lu babla gbãtɔ vɛ, eye mienyee le yame la, xlẽ kɔsiɖa blibo adre.
16 Vnto ye morow after the seuenth Sabbath shall ye nomber fiftie dayes: then yee shall bring a newe meate offring vnto the Lord.
Xlẽ ŋkeke blaatɔ̃ va se ɖe ŋkeke si dze Dzudzɔgbe adrelia dzi, eye miasa vɔ kple nuŋeŋe yeyewo na Yehowa.
17 Ye shall bring out of your habitations bread for the shake offring: they shalbe two loaues of two tenth deales of fine floure, which shalbe baken with leauen for first fruites vnto the Lord.
Nunana sia anye abolo eve tso miaƒe aƒewo me, eye woanye wo le yame le Yehowa ŋkume abe wo tsɔtsɔ nɛ ƒe dzesi ene. Mitsɔ wɔ memee si ʋã la kilogram eve wɔ abolo siawo. Nunana sia nye miaƒe kutsetse gbãtɔwo na Yehowa.
18 Also yee shall offer with the bread seuen lambes without blemish of one yeere olde, and a yong bullocke and two rams: they shalbe for a burnt offring vnto the Lord, with their meate offrings and their drinke offrings, for a sacrifice made by fire of a sweete sauour vnto the Lord.
Kpe ɖe abolo kple wain ŋuti la, miatsɔ alẽvi adre siwo xɔ ƒe ɖeka, nyitsu fɛ̃ ɖeka kple agbo eve siwo de blibo la asa numevɔ na Yehowa. Wo katã nye dzovɔsawo eye wonye ʋeʋẽ lĩlĩlĩ na Yehowa.
19 Then ye shall prepare an hee goate for a sinne offring, and two lambes of one yeere olde for peace offrings.
Emegbe la, miatsɔ gbɔ̃tsu ɖeka asa nu vɔ̃ vɔsa, eye miatsɔ alẽvi eve siwo xɔ ƒe ɖeka la asa akpedavɔe.
20 And the Priest shall shake them to and from with the bread of the first fruits before the Lord, and with the two lambes: they shalbe holy to the Lord, for the Priest.
Nunɔla la anye nunana siawo le yame le Yehowa ŋkume hekpe ɖe nu gbãtɔwo ƒe abolo ŋu, kpakple alẽvi eveawo siwo nye nu kɔkɔewo na Yehowa, eye woatsɔ wo ana nunɔlawo abe woƒe nuɖuɖu ene.
21 So ye shall proclayme the same day, that it may be an holie conuocation vnto you: ye shall doe no seruile worke therein: it shalbe an ordinance for euer in al your dwellinges, throughout your generations.
Woaɖe gbeƒã ŋkeke ma abe amewo katã ƒe takpekpe kɔkɔe ƒe ɣeyiɣi ene. Migawɔ dɔ aɖeke le ŋkeke ma dzi o. Esia nye se si dzi woawɔ tso dzidzime yi dzidzime.
22 And when you reape the haruest of your land, thou shalt not rid cleane the corners of thy field when thou reapest, neither shalt thou make any aftergathering of thy haruest, but shalt leaue them vnto the poore and to the stranger: I am the Lord your God.
“‘Ne miexa miaƒe nukuwo la, mele be miaŋe nu sia nu va se ɖe boto ke o, eye mele be miafɔ nukui siwo dudu ɖe anyigba o. Migblẽ wo ɖi na ame dahewo kple amedzro siwo le mia dome, ame siwo si anyigba mele o. Nyee nye Yehowa, miaƒe Mawu.’”
23 And the Lord spake vnto Moses, saying,
Yehowa gblɔ na Mose bena,
24 Speake vnto the children of Israel, and say, In the seuenth moneth, and in the first day of the moneth shall ye haue a Sabbath, for the remembrance of blowing the trumpets, an holy conuocation.
“Gblɔ na Israelviwo be, ‘Le ɣleti adrelia ƒe ŋkeke gbãtɔ dzi la, ele be miadzudzɔ mia ɖokui, wòanye takpekpe kɔkɔe si dzi woaɖo ŋkui kple kpẽkuku.
25 Ye shall do no seruile worke therein, but offer sacrifice made by fire vnto the Lord.
Migawɔ gbe sia gbe dɔwo o, ke boŋ misa dzovɔ na Yehowa.’”
26 And the Lord spake vnto Moses, saying,
Yehowa gblɔ na Mose be,
27 The tenth also of this seuenth moneth shalbe a day of reconciliation: it shalbe an holie conuocation vnto you, and yee shall humble your soules, and offer sacrifice made by fire vnto the Lord.
“Ɣleti adrelia ƒe ŋkeke gbãtɔ nye Avuléŋkekenyui la. Miwɔ takpekpe kɔkɔe, miatsi nu adɔ, eye miasa dzovɔ na Yehowa.
28 And ye shall doe no worke that same day: for it is a day of reconciliation, to make an atonement for you before the Lord your God.
Migawɔ dɔ aɖeke gbe ma gbe o, elabena enye avuléŋkeke tɔxɛ le Yehowa, miaƒe Mawu la ŋkume.
29 For euery person that humbleth not himselfe that same day, shall euen be cut off from his people.
Ne ame aɖe mewɔ ŋkeke sia ŋu dɔ hena dzimetɔtrɔ kple konyifafa ɖe eƒe nu vɔ̃wo ta o la, woatsrɔ̃e ɖa le eƒe amewo dome.
30 And euery person that shall doe any work that same day, the same person also will I destroy from among his people.
Matsrɔ̃ ame sia ame si awɔ dɔ aɖe gbe ma gbe la tso eƒe amewo dome.
31 Ye shall do no maner worke therefore: this shalbe a law for euer in your generations, throughout all your dwellings.
Miawɔ dɔ aɖeke kura o. Ele be esia nanye ɖoɖo mavɔ na dzidzime siwo ava va le afi si mianɔ.
32 This shalbe vnto you a Sabbath of rest, and ye shall humble your soules: in the ninth day of the moneth at euen, from euen to euen shall ye celebrate your Sabbath.
Ŋkeke sia nye dzudzɔgbe; miabɔbɔ mia ɖokui, eye miase veve ɖe miaƒe nu vɔ̃wo ta. Avuléɣeyiɣi sia adze egɔme tso fiẽ si do ŋgɔ na Avuléŋkekenyui la, eye wòayi edzi va se ɖe ŋkekenyui la ƒe fiẽ.”
33 And the Lord spake vnto Moses, saying,
Yehowa gblɔ na Mose bena,
34 Speake vnto the children of Israel, and say, In the fifteenth day of this seueth moneth shalbe for seuen dayes the feast of Tabernacles vnto the Lord.
“Gblɔ na Israelviwo be, ‘Le ɣleti adrelia ƒe ŋkeke wuiatɔ̃lia dzi la, Yehowa ƒe Agbadɔmeŋkekenyui la adze egɔme eye woaɖui ŋkeke adre.
35 In the first day shalbe an holie conuocation: ye shall do no seruile worke therein.
Ameawo katã awɔ takpekpe kɔkɔe le ŋkeke gbãtɔ dzi. Migawɔ dɔ sesẽ aɖeke gbe ma gbe o.
36 Seuen daies ye shall offer sacrifice made by fire vnto the Lord, and in the eight day shalbe an holy conuocation vnto you, and ye shall offer sacrifices made by fire vnto the Lord: it is the solemne assemblie, yee shall doe no seruile worke therein.
Le ŋkekenyui la ƒe ŋkeke adreawo dometɔ ɖe sia ɖe dzi la, ele be miasa dzovɔ na Yehowa. Ameawo katã agawɔ takpekpe kɔkɔe bubu le ŋkeke enyia gbe. Woagasa dzovɔ na Yehowa gbe ma gbe. Enye dzidzɔɣeyiɣi aɖe, eye womeɖe mɔ be woawɔ dɔ sesẽ aɖeke o.’
37 These are the feastes of the Lord (which ye shall call holie conuocations) to offer sacrifice made by fire vnto the Lord, as burnt offring, and meate offring, sacrifice, and drinke offrings, euery one vpon his day,
(“‘Esiawoe nye ŋkekenyui siwo miaɖu atsɔ de bubu Yehowa ŋu; ameawo katã awɔ takpekpe kɔkɔewo, eye woasa dzovɔwo, numevɔ, nuɖuvɔ, akpedavɔ kple nunovɔ na Yehowa. Ŋkeke ɖe sia ɖe kple etɔ
38 Beside the Sabbaths of the Lord, and beside your giftes, and beside al your vowes, and beside all your free offrings, which ye shall giue vnto the Lord.
Ƒe sia ƒe ƒe ŋkekenyui siawo kpe ɖe kɔsiɖa ɖe sia ɖe ƒe Dzudzɔgbe ŋu. Vɔ siwo woasa le ŋkekenyui siawo dzi la akpe ɖe miaƒe ɣe sia ɣi ƒe nunanawo kple adzɔgbeɖefewo ŋu.)
39 But in the fifteenth day of the seueth moneth, when ye haue gathered in the fruite of the land, ye shall keepe an holie feast vnto the Lord seuen daies: in the first day shalbe a Sabbath: likewise in the eight day shalbe a Sabbath.
“‘Anyɔnyɔ ƒe ŋkeke mamlɛtɔ sia, si le miaƒe nuŋeɣi ƒe nuwuwu lae nye ɣeyiɣi si dzi miaɖu ŋkekenyui sia ŋkeke adre le Yehowa ŋkume. Miɖo ŋku edzi be ŋkeke gbãtɔ kple mamlɛtɔ nye dzudzɔgbe kɔkɔewo.
40 And yee shall take you in the first day the fruite of goodly trees, branches of palme trees, and the boughes of thicke trees, and willowes of the brooke, and shall reioyce before the Lord your God seuen daies.
Le ŋkeke gbãtɔ dzi la, mitsɔ kutsetseti ƒe alɔ siwo dzi kutsetsewo le kple deʋaya kple atilɔ siwo do abe amiti siwo le tɔʋuwo to ene; mitsɔ wo tu agbadɔwo. Mitso aseye le Yehowa miaƒe Mawu ŋkume ŋkeke adre sɔŋ.
41 So ye shall keepe this feast vnto the Lord seuen daies in the yere, by a perpetuall ordinance through your generations: in the seuenth moneth shall you keepe it.
Ŋkekenyui sia, si woaɖu na Yehowa ŋkeke adre, ƒe sia ƒe la, nye se tso dzidzime yi dzidzime.
42 Ye shall dwell in boothes seuen daies: all that are Israelites borne, shall dwel in boothes,
Le ŋkeke adre mawo me la, ele be mi ame siwo katã nye Israelvi dzidziawo la, mianɔ agbadɔ siawo me.
43 That your posterity may know that I haue made the children of Israel to dwell in boothes, when I brought them out of the lande of Egypt: I am the Lord your God.

44 So Moses declared vnto the children of Israel the feastes of the Lord.
Ale Mose ɖe gbeƒã Yehowa ƒe ŋkekenyui siwo woaɖu ƒe sia ƒe la na Israelviwo.
