Leviticus 1

1 Nowe the Lord called Moses, and spake vnto him out of the Tabernacle of the Congregation, saying,

Afei, Awurade kasa firii Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no mu kyerɛɛ Mose sɛ,

2 Speake vnto the children of Israel, and thou shalt say vnto them, If any of you offer a sacrifice vnto the Lord, ye shall offer your sacrifice of cattell, as of beeues and of the sheepe.

“Kyerɛ Israelfoɔ no sɛ, ‘sɛ morebɔ Awurade afɔdeɛ a, momfa mo anantwie ne mo nnwan no bi na mommɔ saa afɔdeɛ no.

3 If his sacrifice be a burnt offering of the heard, he shall offer a male without blemish, presenting him of his owne voluntarie will at the doore of the Tabernacle of the Congregation before the Lord.

“‘Sɛ mo afɔrebɔdeɛ a mode rebɛbɔ ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ no yɛ nantwie a ɔfiri mo nantwibuo mu a, momfa nantwie a ɔnnii dɛm na mommɔ saa afɔdeɛ no sɛdeɛ ɛbɛsɔ Awurade ani. Fa aboa no kɔ Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no ɛpono ano na ɛhɔ na asɔfoɔ no bɛgye wʼayɛyɛdeɛ a wode rebrɛ Awurade no.

4 And he shall put his hande vpon the head of the burnt offering, and it shalbe accepted to the Lord, to be his atonement.

Ɛsɛ sɛ onipa a ɔde aboa no reba no de ne nsa gu aboa no tiri so sɛ mpatadeɛ ma afɔrebɔni no. Onyankopɔn bɛpɛ aboa no wuo sene sɛ afɔrebɔni a ɔde saa aboa no bɛba no bɛwu sɛ ne bɔne so akatua.

5 And he shall kill the bullocke before the Lord, and the Priestes Aarons sonnes shall offer the blood, and shall sprinckle it round about vpon the altar, that is by the doore of the Tabernacle of the Congregation.

Afɔrebɔni no bɛkum aboa no wɔ hɔ wɔ Awurade anim. Na Aaron mmammarima asɔfoɔ no asɔ aboa no mogya de akyerɛ Awurade. Na wɔde mogya no apete afɔrebukyia a ɛsi Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no kwan no ano no ne ɛho nyinaa.

6 Then shall he fley the burnt offering, and cut it in pieces.

Afei, asɔfoɔ no bɛpa aboa no ho nhoma na wɔabobɔ.

7 So the sonnes of Aaron the Priest shall put fire vpon the altar, and lay the wood in order vpon the fire.

Na ɔsɔfoɔ Aaron mmammarima no bɛsɔ ogya wɔ afɔrebukyia no so.

8 Then the Priestes Aarons sonnes shall lay the parts in order, the head and the kall vpon the wood that is in the fire which is vpon the altar.

Na wɔde aboa no afaafa bi ne ne ti ne ne sradeɛ agu nnyensin no so.

9 But the inwardes thereof and the legges thereof he shall wash in water, and the Priest shall burne all on the altar: for it is a burnt offering, an oblation made by fire, for a sweete sauour vnto the Lord.

Wɔnhohoro nʼayamdeɛ ne ne nan ho na asɔfoɔ no nhye no wɔ afɔrebukyia no so na ayɛ ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ a ɛsɔ Awurade ani.

10 And if his sacrifice for the burnt offering be of the flocks (as of the sheepe, or of the goats) he shall offer a male without blemish,

“‘Sɛ aboa a wɔde no rebɔ ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ no yɛ odwan anaa abirekyie a, ɛsɛ sɛ ɔyɛ onini a ne ho nni dɛm biara.

11 And he shall kill it on the Northside of the altar before the Lord, and the Priestes Aarons sonnes shall sprinckle the blood thereof rounde about vpon the altar.

Onipa a ɔde no baeɛ no bɛkum no Awurade anim wɔ afɔrebukyia no atifi na Aaron mmammarima asɔfoɔ no apete mogya no agu afɔrebukyia no so ne ɛho nyinaa.

12 And he shall cut it in pieces, separating his head and his kall, and the Priest shall lay them in order vpon the wood that lyeth in the fire which is on the altar:

Ɔbɛhyehyɛ ɛnam no na asɔfoɔ no de nʼasinasini no ne botire no ne ne sradeɛ no agu nnyensin a ɛgu afɔrebukyia no so no so.

13 But he shall wash the inwardes, and the legges with water, and the Priest shall offer the whole and burne it vpon the altar: for it is a burnt offering, an oblation made by fire for a sweete sauour vnto the Lord.

Wɔde nsuo bɛhohoro nʼayamdeɛ ne ne nan no ho ansa na asɔfoɔ no ahye no afɔrebukyia no so de ama Awurade; ɛfiri sɛ, ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ sɔ Awurade ani.

14 And if his sacrifice be a burnt offring to the Lord of ye foules, then he shall offer his sacrifice of the turtle doues, or of the yong pigeons.

“‘Sɛ obi pɛ sɛ ɔde anomaa bɔ ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ a, ɔmfa nturukuku anaa mmorɔnoma mma.

15 And the Priest shall bring it vnto the altar, and wring the necke of it asunder, and burne it on the altar: and the blood thereof shall bee shed vpon the side of the altar.

Ɔsɔfoɔ no bɛfa anomaa no de no akɔ afɔrebukyia no so na wate ne ti ahye no, na ne mogya no, ɔbɛsɔne agu afɔrebukyia no nkyɛn.

16 And he shall plucke out his maw with his fethers, and cast them beside the altar on the East part in the place of the ashes.

Afei, ɔsɔfoɔ no bɛyi ne mene ase, atutu ne ntakra no na wato agu nsõ no mu wɔ afɔrebukyia no apueeɛ fam.

17 And he shall cleaue it with his wings, but not deuide it asunder: and the Priest shall burne it vpon the altar vpon the wood that is in the fire: for it is a burnt offering, an oblation made by fire for a sweete sauour vnto the Lord.

Afei, ɔbɛtwe nʼatabu mu ama emu ntini no atete asensɛn hɔ. Na ɔsɔfoɔ no ahye no wɔ afɔrebukyia no so na Awurade de anigyeɛ bɛgye saa afɔrebɔ yi.
