< Leviticus 4 >
1 Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
Yehowa gade se siawo na Mose:
2 "Speak to the children of Israel, saying, 'If anyone sins unintentionally, in any of the things which Jehovah has commanded not to be done, and does any one of them:
“Gblɔ na Israelviwo be, ‘esiawoe nye se siwo ku ɖe ame siwo ada le Yehowa ƒe seawo dzi le ŋuɖeɖi me la ŋu.
3 if the anointed priest sins so as to bring guilt on the people, then let him offer for his sin, which he has sinned, a young bull without blemish to Jehovah for a sin offering.
“‘Ne nunɔla aɖe wɔ nu vɔ̃ le ŋuɖeɖi me, eye wòto esia me he fɔɖiɖi va ameawo dzi la, ele nɛ be wòatsɔ nyitsuvi fɛ̃ si de blibo la asa nu vɔ̃ ŋuti vɔsa na Yehowa.
4 He shall bring the bull to the door of the Tent of Meeting before Jehovah; and he shall lay his hand on the head of the bull and kill the bull before Jehovah.
Ele be wòakplɔ nyitsuvi fɛ̃ la ava Agbadɔ la ƒe mɔnu, atsɔ eƒe asi ada ɖe nyitsu la ƒe ta dzi, eye wòawui le afi ma le Yehowa ŋkume.
5 The anointed priest shall take some of the blood of the bull, and bring it to the Tent of Meeting.
Ekema nunɔla la atsɔ nyitsu la ƒe ʋu ayi Agbadɔ la me,
6 The priest shall dip his finger in the blood, and sprinkle some of the blood seven times before Jehovah, before the veil of the sanctuary.
ade eƒe asibidɛ ʋu la me, eye wòahlẽ ʋu la zi adre le Yehowa ŋkume ɖe xɔmetsovɔ si ma Kɔkɔeƒewo ƒe Kɔkɔeƒe la me la ŋkume.
7 The priest shall put some of the blood on the horns of the altar of sweet incense before Jehovah, which is in the Tent of Meeting; and he shall pour out all of rest of the blood of the bull at the base of the altar of burnt offering, which is at the door of the Tent of Meeting.
Emegbe la, nunɔla la asisi ʋu la ƒe ɖe ɖe dzudzɔdovɔsamlekpui la ƒe dzowo ŋu le Yehowa ŋkume le Agbadɔ la me; atsɔ ʋua mamlɛa akɔ ɖe numevɔsamlekpui la te le Agbadɔ la ƒe mɔnu.
8 He shall take all the fat of the bull of the sin offering off of it; the fat that covers the entrails, and all the fat that is on the entrails,
Le esia megbe la, nunɔla la aɖe ami le nyitsua ƒe dɔmenuawo,
9 and the two kidneys, and the fat that is on them, which is by the loins, and the cover on the liver, with the kidneys, he shall take away,
ayiku eveawo kple aklã la ŋu,
10 as it is taken off of the bull of the sacrifice of peace offerings. The priest shall burn them on the altar of burnt offering.
eye wòatɔ dzo wo ɖe numevɔsamlekpui la dzi abe ale si wotsɔa nyitsu alo nyinɔ sãa akpedavɔ ene tututu.
11 The bull's skin, all its flesh, with its head, and with its legs, its entrails, and its dung,
Ke atsɔ nyitsu la ƒe ayi kple eƒe lã katã, kpe ɖe eƒe ta kple afɔwo ŋu,
12 even the whole bull shall he carry forth outside the camp to a clean place, where the ashes are poured out, and burn it on wood with fire. Where the ashes are poured out it shall be burned.
kple nyitsu la ƒe lã mamlɛa katã ayi asaɖa la godo, teƒe si ŋuti kɔ kple afi si wotsɔa afi ƒua gbe ɖo la, eye wòatɔ dzoe le nakedzo dzi le afi si woli kɔe la dzi.
13 "'If the whole congregation of Israel sins, and the thing is hidden from the eyes of the assembly, and they have done any of the things which Jehovah has commanded not to be done, and are guilty;
“‘Ne Israel dukɔ blibo la wɔ nu vɔ̃ le ŋuɖeɖi me, eye wòwɔ nu si Yehowa de se na wo be womawɔ o la, ameawo katã ɖi fɔ.
14 when the sin in which they have sinned is known, then the assembly shall offer a young bull for a sin offering, and bring it before the Tent of Meeting.
Ne wova dze si woƒe nu vɔ̃ la, woana nyitsu fɛ̃ aɖe hena nu vɔ̃ ŋuti vɔsa. Woatsɔ nyitsu la ava Agbadɔ la ŋgɔ.
15 The elders of the congregation shall lay their hands on the head of the bull before Jehovah; and the bull shall be killed before Jehovah.
Dukɔ la ƒe ametsitsiwo ada asi ɖe nyitsu la ƒe ta dzi, eye woawui le Yehowa ŋkume.
16 The anointed priest shall bring of the blood of the bull to the Tent of Meeting:
Nunɔla la atsɔ nyitsu la ƒe ʋu ayi Agbadɔ la me,
17 and the priest shall dip his finger in the blood, and sprinkle it seven times before Jehovah, before the veil.
ade eƒe asibidɛ ʋu la me, eye wòahlẽe zi adre ɖe xɔmetsovɔ la ŋgɔ le Yehowa ŋkume.
18 He shall put some of the blood on the horns of the altar which is before Jehovah, that is in the Tent of Meeting; and the rest of the blood he shall pour out at the base of the altar of burnt offering, which is at the door of the Tent of Meeting.
Emegbe la, asisi ʋu la ɖe vɔsamlekpui la ƒe dzowo ŋu le Agbadɔ la me le Yehowa ŋkume, eye wòakɔ ʋua mamlɛa katã ɖe vɔsamlekpui la te le Agbadɔ la ƒe mɔnu.
19 All its fat he shall take from it, and burn it on the altar.
Woaɖe eƒe ami ɖe sia ɖe, eye woatɔ dzoe le vɔsamlekpui la dzi.
20 Thus shall he do with the bull; as he did with the bull of the sin offering, so shall he do with this; and the priest shall make atonement for them, and they shall be forgiven.
Woawɔ nu siwo katã wowɔna le nu vɔ̃ ŋuti vɔsasa me. Ale nunɔla la alé avu ɖe dukɔ la nu, eye Mawu atsɔ nu vɔ̃ la ake ame sia ame.
21 He shall carry forth the bull outside the camp, and burn it as he burned the first bull. It is the sin offering for the assembly.
Azɔ la, nunɔla la atsɔ nyitsu la ayi asaɖa la godo, eye wòatɔ dzoe le afi ma abe ame ɖeka ƒe nu vɔ̃ ŋuti vɔsa wònye ene, evɔ la, nu vɔ̃ ŋuti vɔsa wònye ɖe dukɔ blibo la ta.
22 "'When a ruler sins, and unwittingly does any one of all the things which Jehovah his God has commanded not to be done, and is guilty;
“‘Ne dumegã aɖe wɔ nu vɔ̃, gake menya gbã be yewɔ nu vɔ̃, da le Yehowa, eƒe Mawu, ƒe seawo dometɔ ɖeka dzi o,
23 if his sin, in which he has sinned, is made known to him, he shall bring as his offering a goat, a male without blemish.
ne wova na wònya emegbe ko la, ele be wòatsɔ gbɔ̃tsu si de blibo la vɛ abe eƒe vɔsa ene.
24 He shall lay his hand on the head of the goat, and kill it in the place where they kill the burnt offering before Jehovah. It is a sin offering.
Ada eƒe asi ɖe gbɔ̃ la ƒe ta dzi, awui le afi si wowua numevɔsalãwo le, eye wòatsɔe na Yehowa. Esiae nye eƒe nu vɔ̃ ŋuti vɔsa.
25 The priest shall take some of the blood of the sin offering with his finger, and put it on the horns of the altar of burnt offering. He shall pour out the rest of its blood at the base of the altar of burnt offering.
Ekema nunɔla la atsɔ nu vɔ̃ ŋuti vɔsalã sia ƒe ʋu ƒe ɖe, atsɔ eƒe asibidɛ asisi ʋu la ɖe numevɔsamlekpui la ƒe dzowo ŋu, eye wòakɔ ʋu la ƒe mamlɛa ɖe vɔsamlekpui la te.
26 All its fat he shall burn on the altar, like the fat of the sacrifice of peace offerings; and the priest shall make atonement for him concerning his sin, and he will be forgiven.
Woatɔ dzo lã la ƒe ami katã ɖe vɔsamlekpui la dzi abe akpedavɔsalã ƒe amie wònye ene. Ale nunɔla la alé avu ɖe dumegã si wɔ nu vɔ̃ la nu, eye Mawu atsɔ eƒe nu vɔ̃ akee.
27 "'If anyone of the common people sins unwittingly, in doing any of the things which Jehovah has commanded not to be done, and is guilty;
“‘Ne dukɔmevi aɖe da le Yehowa ƒe sewo dzi, gake menya be yewɔ nu vɔ̃ o la, eɖi fɔ.
28 if his sin, which he has sinned, is made known to him, then he shall bring for his offering a goat, a female without blemish, for his sin which he has sinned.
Ke ne eva nya teti ko la, ele nɛ be wòatsɔ gbɔ̃nɔ si de blibo la vɛ be yeatsɔe alé avui ɖe yeƒe nu vɔ̃ ta.
29 He shall lay his hand on the head of the sin offering, and kill the sin offering in the place of burnt offering.
Atsɔe va afi si wowua numevɔsalãwo le, ada asi ɖe lã la ƒe ta dzi, eye wòawui.
30 The priest shall take some of its blood with his finger, and put it on the horns of the altar of burnt offering; and the rest of its blood he shall pour out at the base of the altar.
Ekema nunɔla la ade asibidɛ ʋu la me asisi ɖe numevɔsamlekpui la ƒe dzowo ŋu, eye wòakɔ ʋua mamlɛa ɖe vɔsamlekpui la te.
31 All its fat he shall take away, like the fat is taken away from off of the sacrifice of peace offerings; and the priest shall burn it on the altar for a pleasant aroma to Jehovah; and the priest shall make atonement for him, and he will be forgiven.
Woaɖe ami siwo katã le dɔ me na lã la, abe ale si wowɔna le akpedavɔsa me ene, eye nunɔla la atɔ dzoe le vɔsamlekpui la dzi. Nu sia adze Yehowa ŋu. Ale nunɔla la alé avu ɖe amea nu, eye Mawu atsɔ eƒe nu vɔ̃ akee.
32 "'If he brings a lamb as his offering for a sin offering, he shall bring a female without blemish.
“‘Ke ne edi be yeasa vɔ la kple alẽ la, ekema ele be wòanye alẽnɔ si de blibo.
33 He shall lay his hand on the head of the sin offering, and kill it for a sin offering in the place where they kill the burnt offering.
Akplɔe va afi si wowua numevɔsalãwo le, ada asi ɖe lã la ƒe ta dzi, eye wòawui abe nu vɔ̃ ŋuti vɔsalã ene.
34 The priest shall take some of the blood of the sin offering with his finger, and put it on the horns of the altar of burnt offering; and all the rest of its blood he shall pour out at the base of the altar.

35 All its fat he shall take away, like the fat of the lamb is taken away from the sacrifice of peace offerings; and the priest shall burn them on the altar, on the offerings of Jehovah made by fire; and the priest shall make atonement for him concerning his sin that he has sinned, and he will be forgiven.
