Leviticus 1
1 THE LORD called unto Moses, and spoke unto him out of the tent of meeting, saying:
Azɔ la, Yehowa ƒo nu na Mose tso Mawu ƒe agbadɔ la me hegblɔ be,
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.
“Ƒo nu na Israelviwo eye nàgblɔ na wo be, ‘Ne mia dometɔ aɖe atsɔ nunana vɛ na Yehowa la, netsɔ nyi alo alẽ vɛ abe eƒe nunana ene.
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.
“‘Ne nunana la anye numevɔsa tso lãhawo dome la, ele be wòana lãtsu si ŋuti kpɔtsɔtsɔ mele o. Ele be wòanae le agbadɔ la ƒe mɔnu ale be wòadze Yehowa ŋu.
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.
Ele be wòatsɔ eƒe asi ada ɖe numevɔsa la ƒe ta dzi, eye woaxɔ numevɔsa la ɖe vɔsalã la teƒe be wòalé avu ɖe enu.
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.
Ekema amea awu nyitsuvi la le afi ma le Yehowa ŋkume. Aron ƒe viŋutsuwo, ame siwo nye nunɔlawo la atsɔ ʋu la ahlẽ ɖe vɔsamlekpui si le agbadɔ la ƒe mɔnu la ƒe axawo katã ŋu.
6 And he shall flay the burnt-offering, and cut it into its pieces.
Ele nɛ be wòako numevɔsalã la eye wòaflii.
7 And the sons of Aaron the priest shall put fire upon the altar, and lay wood in order upon the fire.
Aron ƒe viŋutsu siwo nye nunɔlawo la ado dzo ɖe vɔsamlekpui la dzi, eye woaɖo nake ɖe dzo la dzi.
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;
Ekema Aron ƒe viŋutsuwo, nunɔlawo, atsɔ lãkɔwo, eƒe ta kple ami ada ɖe nakeawo dzi le vɔsamlekpui la dzi.
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.
Amea aklɔ eƒe dɔmenuwo kple afɔwo, nunɔla la atɔ dzo wo ɖe vɔsamlekpui la dzi, eye woazu numevɔsa kple dzovɔsa si ƒe ʋeʋẽ adze Yehowa ŋu.
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.
“‘Ne vɔsa la nye numevɔsa tso alẽhawo alo gbɔ̃hawo dome la, ele nɛ be wòana atsua si ŋuti kpɔtsɔtsɔ mele o la.
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.
Ame si le vɔ la sam la awui le Yehowa ŋkume le vɔsamlekpui la ƒe anyiehe lɔƒo. Aron ƒe viŋutsuwo, ame siwo nye nunɔlawo la ahlẽ lã la ƒe ʋu ɖe vɔsamlekpui la ŋu akpe ɖo.
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.
Ekema amea afli lã la, eye nunɔla la atsɔ lãkɔawo, lã la ƒe ta kple eƒe ami ada ɖe nakeawo dzi le vɔsamlekpui la dzi.
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.
Ke amea aklɔ dɔmenuawo kple afɔawo, eye nunɔlawo atɔ dzo wo katã le vɔsamlekpui la dzi. Anye numevɔsa kple dzovɔsa si ƒe ʋeʋẽ ado dzidzɔ na Yehowa.
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.
“‘Ne nunana na Yehowa nye numevɔsa si woawɔ kple xevi la, ele be wòanye akpakpa alo ahɔnɛvi.
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.
Nunɔla la atsɔ xevi la ayi vɔsamlekpui la gbɔ, atro kɔ le enu, ana eƒe ʋu naɖuɖu ɖe anyi le vɔsamlekpui la ƒe axadzi, eye woame lã la le vɔsamlekpui la dzi.
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.
Nunɔla la aɖe eƒe agbonu kple emenuwo, eye wòatsɔ wo aƒu gbe ɖe vɔsamlekpui la ƒe ɣedzeƒe lɔƒo, afi si dzowɔ le la.
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.
Emegbe la, alé eƒe aʋalawo, eye wòafe xevi la me, gake eƒe aʋalawo maɖe ɖa le xevi la ŋu o. Azɔ la, nunɔla la atɔ dzoe le vɔsamlekpui la dzi, eye wòanye vɔsa si adze Yehowa ŋu. Enye numevɔsa kple dzovɔsa si ƒe ʋeʋẽ adze Yehowa ŋu.
