Leviticus 1

1 THE LORD called unto Moses, and spoke unto him out of the tent of meeting, saying:

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

2 Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them: When any man of you bringeth an offering unto the LORD, ye shall bring your offering of the cattle, even of the herd or of the flock.

“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 offering be a burnt-offering of the herd, he shall offer it a male without blemish; he shall bring it to the door of the tent of meeting, that he may be accepted 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 lay his hand upon the head of the burnt-offering; and it shall be accepted for him to make atonement for him.

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 bullock before the LORD; and Aaron's sons, the priests, shall present the blood, and dash the blood round about against the altar that is at the door of the tent of meeting.

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 And he shall flay the burnt-offering, and cut it into its pieces.

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

7 And the sons of Aaron the priest shall put fire upon the altar, and lay wood in order upon the fire.

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

8 And Aaron's sons, the priests, shall lay the pieces, and the head, and the suet, in order upon the wood that is on the fire which is upon the altar;

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

9 but its inwards and its legs shall he wash with water; and the priest shall make the whole smoke on the altar, for a burnt-offering, an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto 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 offering be of the flock, whether of the sheep, or of the goats, for a burnt-offering, he shall offer it 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 side of the altar northward before the LORD; and Aaron's sons, the priests, shall dash its blood against the altar round about.

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 into its pieces; and the priest shall lay them, with its head and its suet, in order on the wood that is on the fire which is upon 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 the inwards and the legs shall he wash with water; and the priest shall offer the whole, and make it smoke upon the altar; it is a burnt-offering, an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto 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 offering to the LORD be a burnt-offering of fowls, then he shall bring his offering of turtle-doves, or of young pigeons.

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

15 And the priest shall bring it unto the altar, and pinch off its head, and make it smoke on the altar; and the blood thereof shall be drained out on 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 take away its crop with the feathers thereof, and cast it 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 rend it by the wings thereof, but shall not divide it asunder; and the priest shall make it smoke upon the altar, upon the wood that is upon the fire; it is a burnt-offering, an offering made by fire, of a sweet savour unto 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.
