Leviticus 16

1 And the LORD spake unto Moses after the death of the two sons of Aaron, when they offered before the LORD, and died;

Yehowa ƒo nu na Mose le Aron ƒe viŋutsu eveawo ƒe ku megbe esime wote ɖe Yehowa ŋu.

2 And the LORD said unto Moses, Speak unto Aaron thy brother, that he come not at all times into the holy [place] within the vail before the mercy seat, which [is] upon the ark; that he die not: for I will appear in the cloud upon the mercy seat.

Yehowa gblɔ na Mose be, “Gblɔ na nɔviwò, Aron be megayi Kɔkɔeƒe la le xɔmetsovɔ la megbe le nutsyɔnu si le nubablaɖaka la ŋgɔ ɣe sia ɣi si dze eŋu o, ne menye nenema o la, aku, elabena medzena le lilikpo me le nutsyɔnu la tame.

3 Thus shall Aaron come into the holy [place: ] with a young bullock for a sin offering, and a ram for a burnt offering.

“Aron age ɖe Kɔkɔeƒe la me ale: atsɔ nyitsuvi ɖe asi hena nu vɔ̃ ŋuti vɔsa kple agbo hena numevɔsa.

4 He shall put on the holy linen coat, and he shall have the linen breeches upon his flesh, and shall be girded with a linen girdle, and with the linen mitre shall he be attired: these [are] holy garments; therefore shall he wash his flesh in water, and [so] put them on.

Ado kɔmewu kɔkɔe la, eye wòado aklalawutewuiawo ɖe ete. Emegbe la, atsɔ aklalalidziblanu la abla ɖe eɖokui ŋu, eye wòatsɔ aklalatablanu la abla tae. Nu siawo nye awu kɔkɔewo, eya ta ele nɛ be wòale tsi hafi ado wo.

5 And he shall take of the congregation of the children of Israel two kids of the goats for a sin offering, and one ram for a burnt offering.

Israelviwo ana gbɔ̃tsu eve hena woƒe nu vɔ̃ ŋuti vɔsa kple agbo ɖeka hena woƒe numevɔsa.

6 And Aaron shall offer his bullock of the sin offering, which [is] for himself, and make an atonement for himself, and for his house.

“Gbã la, ele be wòatsɔ nyitsuvi fɛ̃ la asa nu vɔ̃ vɔsa na Yehowa ɖe eɖokui ta, eye wòalé avu ɖe eya ŋutɔ kple eƒe ƒomea ta.

7 And he shall take the two goats, and present them before the LORD [at] the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.

Emegbe la, akplɔ gbɔ̃tsu eveawo ava Yehowa ŋkume le Agbadɔ la ƒe mɔnu,

8 And Aaron shall cast lots upon the two goats; one lot for the LORD, and the other lot for the scapegoat.

eye wòadzidze nu, anya gbɔ̃tsu si nye Yehowa tɔ kple esi nye Azazel tɔ, si ŋu wòaɖe asi le.

9 And Aaron shall bring the goat upon which the LORD’s lot fell, and offer him [for] a sin offering.

Aron asa nu vɔ̃ vɔsa kple gbɔ̃tsu si nye Yehowa tɔ.

10 But the goat, on which the lot fell to be the scapegoat, shall be presented alive before the LORD, to make an atonement with him, [and] to let him go for a scapegoat into the wilderness.

Woatsɔ gbɔ̃tsu evelia si nye Azazel tɔ la agbagbe ava Yehowa ŋkume. Woaɖe dukɔwo ƒe nu vɔ̃wo ada ɖe edzi, eye woanyae ɖo ɖe Azazel gbɔ le gbedzi.

11 And Aaron shall bring the bullock of the sin offering, which [is] for himself, and shall make an atonement for himself, and for his house, and shall kill the bullock of the sin offering which [is] for himself:

“Ne Aron tsɔ nyitsu la sa nu vɔ̃ vɔsa ɖe eya ŋutɔ kple eƒe ƒometɔwo ta vɔ la,

12 And he shall take a censer full of burning coals of fire from off the altar before the LORD, and his hands full of sweet incense beaten small, and bring [it] within the vail:

atsɔ dzoɖesonu, aɖe aka xɔxɔwo tso Yehowa ƒe vɔsamlekpui dzi ade eme, eye wòalɔ dzudzɔdonu si wotu memie la ƒe asiʋlo eve ayi xɔmetsovɔ la godo.

13 And he shall put the incense upon the fire before the LORD, that the cloud of the incense may cover the mercy seat that [is] upon the testimony, that he die not:

Atsɔ dzudzɔdonu la akɔ ɖe dzoka xɔxɔawo dzi le afi ma, le Yehowa ŋkume, ale be dzudzɔdonu la ƒe dzudzɔ naxɔ amenuvevezikpui la dzi le nubablaɖaka la tame, ale be magakpɔ nubablaɖaka la tame ne wòaku o.

14 And he shall take of the blood of the bullock, and sprinkle [it] with his finger upon the mercy seat eastward; and before the mercy seat shall he sprinkle of the blood with his finger seven times.

Atsɔ nyitsu la ƒe ʋu ƒe ɖe ade asibidɛ eme, eye wòahlẽ ʋu la ɖe amenuvevezikpui la ƒe ɣedzeƒe lɔƒo, eye wòagahlẽe zi adre ɖe eŋgɔ.

15 Then shall he kill the goat of the sin offering, that [is] for the people, and bring his blood within the vail, and do with that blood as he did with the blood of the bullock, and sprinkle it upon the mercy seat, and before the mercy seat:

“Ekema ado go, eye wòasa nu vɔ̃ vɔsa kple ameawo ƒe gbɔ̃tsu la, eye wòahlẽ eƒe ʋu ɖe xɔmetsovɔ la me, ahlẽe ɖe amenuvevezikpui la dzi kple eŋgɔ abe ale si wòwɔ kple nyitsu la ƒe ʋu ene.

16 And he shall make an atonement for the holy [place], because of the uncleanness of the children of Israel, and because of their transgressions in all their sins: and so shall he do for the tabernacle of the congregation, that remaineth among them in the midst of their uncleanness.

Ekema aɖe nu vɔ̃ ɖa le teƒe kɔkɔe la ŋu, elabena Israelviwo ƒe nu vɔ̃wo na wòzu nu makɔmakɔ, eye wòagaɖe nu vɔ̃ ɖa le Agbadɔ si le ameawo dome, eye woƒe nu vɔ̃wo ƒo xlãe la hã ŋu.

17 And there shall be no man in the tabernacle of the congregation when he goeth in to make an atonement in the holy [place], until he come out, and have made an atonement for himself, and for his household, and for all the congregation of Israel.

Ame bubu aɖeke mekpɔ mɔ anɔ Agbadɔ la me ne Aron ge ɖe eme be yeaɖe nu vɔ̃ ɖa le Teƒe Kɔkɔe la ŋu o va se ɖe esime wòalé avu le eya ŋutɔ ɖokui, eƒe aƒemetɔwo kple Israelviwo katã ta, eye wòagado go.

18 And he shall go out unto the altar that [is] before the LORD, and make an atonement for it; and shall take of the blood of the bullock, and of the blood of the goat, and put [it] upon the horns of the altar round about.

“Azɔ la, ado go ayi vɔsamlekpui la gbɔ le Yehowa ŋkume, eye wòaɖe nu vɔ̃ ɖa le eŋu. Ele be wòasisi nyitsu la kple gbɔ̃tsu la ƒe ʋu ɖe vɔsamlekpui la ƒe lãdzowo ŋu,

19 And he shall sprinkle of the blood upon it with his finger seven times, and cleanse it, and hallow it from the uncleanness of the children of Israel.

eye wòahlẽ ʋu la ƒe ɖe ɖe vɔsamlekpui la dzi zi adre kple eƒe asibidɛ. Ale wòakɔ eŋuti tso Israelviwo ƒe nu vɔ̃wo me, eye wòawɔe kɔkɔe.

20 And when he hath made an end of reconciling the holy [place], and the tabernacle of the congregation, and the altar, he shall bring the live goat:

“Ne ewu nu vɔ̃wo ɖeɖe ɖa le Teƒe Kɔkɔe la, Agbadɔ blibo la kple vɔsamlekpui la ŋu ƒe wɔnawo nu la, ahe gbɔ̃ gbagbe si wotia na Azazel la vɛ.

21 And Aaron shall lay both his hands upon the head of the live goat, and confess over him all the iniquities of the children of Israel, and all their transgressions in all their sins, putting them upon the head of the goat, and shall send [him] away by the hand of a fit man into the wilderness:

Ada eƒe asi eveawo ɖe gbɔ̃tsu la ƒe ta dzi, eye wòaʋu Israelviwo ƒe nu vɔ̃wo katã me ɖe edzi. Adro woƒe nu vɔ̃wo katã ɖe gbɔ̃ la ƒe ta dzi, eye wòana ame aɖe si wotia da ɖi la nakplɔ gbɔ̃ la ayi ɖe gbedzi.

22 And the goat shall bear upon him all their iniquities unto a land not inhabited: and he shall let go the goat in the wilderness.

Ale gbɔ̃ la atsɔ ameawo ƒe nu vɔ̃wo katã ayi gbedadaƒo, eye ame la aɖe asi le gbɔ̃ la ŋu ɖe gbedadaƒo afi ma.

23 And Aaron shall come into the tabernacle of the congregation, and shall put off the linen garments, which he put on when he went into the holy [place], and shall leave them there:

“Azɔ la, Aron agayi Agbadɔ la me, eye wòaɖe aklalawu siwo wòdo esi wòyi xɔmetsovɔ la godo, eye wòagblẽ wo ɖe afi ma le Agbadɔ la me.

24 And he shall wash his flesh with water in the holy place, and put on his garments, and come forth, and offer his burnt offering, and the burnt offering of the people, and make an atonement for himself, and for the people.

Esia megbe la, ale tsi le teƒe kɔkɔe aɖe, agado awuawo, ayi aɖasa eya ŋutɔ ƒe numevɔ kple ameawo ƒe numevɔ, eye wòalé avu ɖe eya ŋutɔ kple ameawo ta.

25 And the fat of the sin offering shall he burn upon the altar.

Ekema atɔ dzo nu vɔ̃ ŋuti vɔsalãwo ƒe ami ɖe vɔsamlekpui la dzi.

26 And he that let go the goat for the scapegoat shall wash his clothes, and bathe his flesh in water, and afterward come into the camp.

“Ame si kplɔ gbɔ̃tsu la yi na Azazel le gbedzi la, agbɔ ava nya eƒe awuwo, ale tsi, eye wòayi asaɖa la me.

27 And the bullock [for] the sin offering, and the goat [for] the sin offering, whose blood was brought in to make atonement in the holy [place], shall [one] carry forth without the camp; and they shall burn in the fire their skins, and their flesh, and their dung.

Woatsɔ nyitsu kple gbɔ̃tsu si Aron tsɔ sa nu vɔ̃ vɔsa, eye wòtsɔ woƒe ʋu yi Teƒe Kɔkɔe la hena avuléle la ayi asaɖa la godo, eye woatɔ dzo wo kpe ɖe woƒe agbalẽ kple dɔmenuwo ŋu.

28 And he that burneth them shall wash his clothes, and bathe his flesh in water, and afterward he shall come into the camp.

Emegbe la, ame si tɔ dzo lãawo la, anya eƒe awuwo, ale tsi, eye wòatrɔ ayi asaɖa la me.

29 And [this] shall be a statute for ever unto you: [that] in the seventh month, on the tenth [day] of the month, ye shall afflict your souls, and do no work at all, [whether it be] one of your own country, or a stranger that sojourneth among you:

“Esia nanye ɖoɖo mavɔ na mi: le ɣleti adrelia ƒe ŋkeke ewolia dzi la, ele be miagbe nu le mia ɖokuiwo gbɔ, eye miawɔ dɔ aɖeke o, eɖanye dzɔleaƒea loo alo amedzro si le mia dome o,

30 For on that day shall [the priest] make an atonement for you, to cleanse you, [that] ye may be clean from all your sins before the LORD.

elabena le ŋkeke sia dzi woalé avu na mi, akɔ mia ŋuti. Ekema le Yehowa ŋkume la, mia ŋuti akɔ tso miaƒe nu vɔ̃wo katã me.

31 It [shall be] a sabbath of rest unto you, and ye shall afflict your souls, by a statute for ever.

Enye dzudzɔgbe na mi, miawɔ ŋkeke la ŋu dɔ na nutsitsidɔ. Esia nye se mavɔ na mi.

32 And the priest, whom he shall anoint, and whom he shall consecrate to minister in the priest’s office in his father’s stead, shall make the atonement, and shall put on the linen clothes, [even] the holy garments:

Le dzidzime bubuwo ƒe ɣeyiɣiwo me la, nunɔlagã si wosi ami na, eye wokɔ eŋuti ɖe Tɔgbuia Aron teƒe lae awɔ ŋutikɔkɔ kɔnu sia. Eyae nye ame si ado aklalawu kɔkɔeawo,

33 And he shall make an atonement for the holy sanctuary, and he shall make an atonement for the tabernacle of the congregation, and for the altar, and he shall make an atonement for the priests, and for all the people of the congregation.

eye wòakɔ Teƒe Kɔkɔe la, Agbadɔ la, vɔsamlekpui la, nunɔlawo kple ameawo ŋu.

34 And this shall be an everlasting statute unto you, to make an atonement for the children of Israel for all their sins once a year. And he did as the LORD commanded Moses.

“Esia anye se mavɔ na mi; woalé avu ɖe Israelviwo ta ƒe sia ƒe le woƒe nu vɔ̃wo ta.” Eye wowɔ abe ale si Yehowa de se na Mose ene. Eye miawɔ abe ale si Yehowa de se na Mose ene.
