Leviticus 16
1 And Yahweh spake unto Moses, after the death of the two sons of Aaron, —when they had offered strange fire before Yahweh and died.
Aaron mmabarima baanu a wowuwuu wɔ Awurade anim no wu akyi no, Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose se,
2 And Yahweh said unto Moses—Speak unto Aaron thy brother, that he do not come at all times into the holy place, within the veil, —into the presence of the propitiatory, which is upon the ark, so shall he not die, for, in the cloud, will I appear upon the propitiatory.
“Bɔ wo nua Aaron kɔkɔ sɛ, ɔnnkɔ kronkronbea hɔ wɔ ntwamtam no akyi; beae a apam adaka no si ne mmɔborɔhunu beae hɔ kwa. Ɔkɔ hɔ a obewu, efisɛ mʼankasa mewɔ omununkum a ɛkata mpata beae so no mu.
3 Herewith, shall Aaron come into the holy place, —With a bullock the choice of the herd as a sin-bearer, and a ram as an ascending-sacrifice.
“Sɛ ɔpɛ sɛ ɔkɔ hɔ a, nea ɛsɛ sɛ ɔyɛ ni: Ɛsɛ sɛ ɔde nantwinini ba ba ma wɔde bɔ bɔne ho afɔre na ɔde odwennini nso ba ma wɔde bɔ ɔhyew afɔre.
4 A holy tunic of linen, shall he put on and drawers of linen, shall be upon his flesh, and with a band of linen, shall he gird himself, and with a turban of linen, shall his head be wrapped about, —holy garments, they are, therefore shall he bathe in water his flesh, and so put them on.
Ɛsɛ sɛ oguare na ɔhyɛ atade hanahana ne ne nhyɛase na ɔbɔ nkyekyeremu ne abotiri.
5 And, from the assembly of the sons of Israel, shall he receive two he-goats, for bearing sin, —and one ram, as an ascending-sacrifice.
Afei, Israelfo bɛbrɛ no mmirekyi abien a wɔde bɛbɔ wɔn bɔne ho afɔre ne odwennini a wɔde bɛbɔ wɔn ɔhyew afɔre.
6 Then shall Aaron bring near the sin-bearing bullock which is for himself, —and put a propitiatory-covering about himself, and about his household.
“Ɛsɛ sɛ Aaron de nantwi ba no bɛma Awurade sɛ bɔne ho afɔre a ɔrebɔ ama ne ho de ayɛ mpata ama ne ho ne ne fifo.
7 Then shall he take the two goats, —and cause them to stand before Yahweh, at the entrance of the tent of meeting.
Afei, ɔde mmirekyi abien no bɛba Awurade anim wɔ Ahyiae Ntamadan no ano.
8 And Aaron shall cast lots over the two goats, —one lot for Yahweh, and one lot for Azazel.
Ɛsɛ sɛ ɔbɔ mmirekyi no so ntonto hu Awurade de, ne nea ɛsɛ sɛ wɔsan de no kɔ.
9 Then shall Aaron bring near the goat over which came up the lot for Yahweh, —and shall make of him a sin-bearer;
Aaron de abirekyi a wɔde no rebɛbɔ Awurade afɔre no bɛbɔ bɔne ho afɔre.
10 but, the goat over which came up the lot for Azazel, shall he cause to stand alive—before Yahweh to put a propitiatory-covering over him, —to send him away unto Azazel, towards the desert.
Wɔrenkum abirekyi baako a waka no na wɔde no aba Awurade anim. Wɔbɛyɛ mpata ho dwumadi bi agu ne so na wɔde no akɔ sare so akogyaw no wɔ hɔ sɛ mpata guan.
11 So Aaron shall bring near the sin-bearing bullock which is for himself, and shall put a propitiatory-covering about himself, and about his household, —and shall slay the sin-bearing bullock which is for himself;
“Aaron de nantwinini ba no bɛbɔ bɔne ho afɔre ama ne ho ne ne fifo.
12 and shall take the censer-full of burning coals of fire from off the altar from before Yahweh, and his hands full of fragrant incense, beaten small, —and bring within the veil;
Ɛsɛ sɛ ɔfa ade a wɔhyew aduhuam wɔ mu a nnyansramma a wɔfaa wɔ Awurade afɔremuka no so ayɛ no ma. Afei ɔde aduhuam a wɔayam no muhumuhu bɛyɛ ne nsam na ɔde akɔ ntwamtam no akyi.
13 and shall put the incense upon the fire before Yahweh, —and the cloud of incense shall cover the propitiatory which is over the testimony, and he shall not die.
Ɛhɔ na ɔde aduhuam no begu ogya no so wɔ Awurade anim na ayɛ wusiw kumɔnn wɔ mpata beae apam ne adaka (a abo apon a wɔakyerɛw Mmaransɛm Du agu so wɔ mu) no so nyinaa sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a ɔrenwu.
14 Then shall he take of the blood of the bullock, and shall sprinkle with his finger upon the face of the propitiatory, eastwards, —and before the propitiatory, shall he sprinkle seven times, of the blood, with his finger.
Na ɔde nantwinini ba no mogya no bi bɛba na ɔde ne nsateaa baako abɔ mu apete mpata beae hɔ apuei fam na wapete no mpɛn ason wɔ anim.
15 Then shall he slay the sin-bearing goat which is for the people, and bring in its blood, within the veil, —and do with its blood, as he did to the blood of the bullock, and shall sprinkle it, upon the propitiatory and before the propitiatory:
“Afei, ɛsɛ sɛ ofi adi na ɔde abirekyi no kɔbɔ ɔmanfo no bɔne ho afɔre na wɔde ne mogya no ba ntwamtam no akyi na wɔpete gu mpata hɔ ne anim sɛnea ɔde nantwinini ba no mogya no yɛe no ara pɛ.
16 so shall he put a propitiatory-covering, over the holy place because of the uncleanness of the sons of Israel, and because of their transgressions to the extent of all their sins, —and, so, shall he do for the tent of meeting which abideth with them, in the midst of their uncleanness.
Na ɛkyerɛ sɛ wayɛ mpata ama beae kronkron hɔ, efisɛ Israelfo bɔne ama efi aka beae hɔ ne Ahyiae Ntamadan no a wɔasi wɔ wɔn mfimfini hɔ no.
17 And no human being, shall be in the tent of meeting, when he cometh in to make a covering by propitiation in the holy place, until he goeth out, —so shall he put a propitiatory-covering about himself and about his household and about all the convocation of Israel.
Sɛ Aaron wura Ahyiae Ntamadan no mu kɔ kronkronbea hɔ rekɔyɛ mpata adwuma no a, ɛnsɛ sɛ obiara kɔ hɔ bi, gye sɛ ɔyɛ mpata no ma ne ho ne ne fifo ne Israelfo nyinaa wie.
18 Then shall he go out unto the altar which is before Yahweh and shall put a propitiatory-covering thereupon, —and shall take of the blood of the bullock, and of the blood of the goat, and put upon the horns of the altar, round about;
“Afei, ɔbɛkɔ afɔremuka no ho wɔ Awurade anim akɔyɛ mpata ama afɔremuka no. Ɛsɛ sɛ ɔde nantwinini ba no ne abirekyi mogya no sra mmɛn a etuatua afɔremuka no ho no ho.
19 and shall sprinkle upon it, of the blood with his finger seven times, —and shall cleanse it and hallow it, from the uncleannesses of the sons of Israel.
Na ɔde ne nsateaa baako bɛpete mogya no mpɛn ason agu afɔremuka no so de atew ho afi Israelfo bɔne no ho ayɛ no kronkron.
20 And, when he hath made an end of covering by propitiation the holy place, and the tent of meeting, and the altar, then shall he bring near the living goat.
“Sɛ owie mpata a ɛfa kronkronbea hɔ ne Ahyiae Ntamadan no ho nsɛm nyinaa ne afɔremuka no ho a, ɔde abirekyi no bɛba anikann.
21 And Aaron shall lean his two hands upon the head of the living goat, and confess over him, all the iniquities of the sons of Israel, and all their transgressions, to the extent of all their sins, —and shall put them upon the head of the goat, and then send him away, by the hand of a man appointed towards the desert:
Na ɔde ne nsa abien agu aboa no apampam, na waka atirimɔden ne atuatew a Israelfo ayɛ, wɔn bɔne nyinaa de agu abirekyi no apampam, na obi a wɔayi no sɛ ɔnyɛ saa adwuma no de aboa no bɛkɔ sare so.
22 so shall the goat bear upon him all their iniquities into a lone land, —and he shall set the goat free, in the desert.
Enti abirekyi no bɛsoa nnipa no bɔne nyinaa de akɔ asase a obi nte so no so na nipa no agyaa no wɔ sare so hɔ.
23 Then shall Aaron come into the tent of meeting, and put off the linen garments which he put on when he came into the holy place, —and shall leave them there;
“Afei, Aaron bɛkɔ Ahyiae Ntamadan mu hɔ bio akɔworɔw nʼatade hanahana a ɔhyɛɛ wɔ ntwamtam no akyi no na wagyaw wɔ hɔ.
24 and shall bathe his flesh in water in a holy place, and put on his [other] garments, —and go forth, and offer his own ascending-sacrifice, and the ascending-sacrifice of the people, so shall he put a propitiatory-covering about himself, and about the people;
Ɔbɛkɔ akoguare wɔ faako a wɔatew hɔ ho na wahyɛ ne ntade no bio na wafi adi akɔbɔ ɔno ankasa ɔhyew afɔre asan abɔ ɔhyew afɔre ama nnipa no na wayɛ mpata ama ne ho ne wɔn.
25 and, with the fat of the sin-bearer, shall he make a perfume at the altar.
Ɔbɛhyew srade de abɔ bɔne ho afɔre wɔ afɔremuka no so.
26 And he that sent away the goat unto Azazel, shall wash—his clothes, and bathe his flesh in water, —and, after that, shall he come into the camp.
“Akyiri no, ɔbarima a ɔde abirekyi no kɔɔ sare so kogyaa no no bɛhoro ne ntama na waguare na wasan aba beae hɔ bio.
27 And the, sin-bearing bullock, and the sin-bearing goat whose blood was brought in to make a propitiatory-covering in the holy place, shall be carried forth outside the camp, —and they shall burn up, in fire, their skins and their flesh, and their dung;
Na nantwi ba ne abirekyi a wɔde bɔɔ bɔne ho afɔre no a Aaron de wɔn mogya kɔɔ kronkronbea hɔ kɔyɛɛ mpata no, wɔde wɔn bɛkɔ nsraban no akyi baabi akɔhyew a wɔn ho nwoma ne wɔn ayamde ka ho.
28 and he that hath burned them, shall wash his clothes, and bathe his flesh in water, —and, after that, shall he come into the camp.
Akyiri no, onipa a ɔrebɛhyew afɔrebɔde no bɛhoro ne ntama, aguare na wasan akɔ beae hɔ bio.
29 And it shall become unto you, a statute age-abiding, —In the seventh month on the tenth of the month, Shall ye humble you souls And, no work, shall ye do, The home-born, Or the sojourner that sojourneth in your midst;
“Eyi yɛ mmara a ɛwɔ hɔ daa. Ɔsram a ɛto so ason no nnafua du so no, ɛnsɛ sɛ moyɛ adwuma biara, na mmom, momfa saa da no nkari mo ho nhwɛ wɔ ahobrɛase mu. Saa mmara yi ka wɔn a wɔwoo wɔn wɔ asase yi so anaa ahɔho a wɔne Israelfo te;
30 For on this day, shall a propitiatory-covering, be put over you, to cleanse you, —From all your sins before Yahweh, shall ye be clean.
efisɛ da yi na wɔde kae mo mpata ne mo ahodwira wɔ mo bɔne ho wɔ Awurade anim.
31 A sabbath of sacred rest, it is unto you, Therefore shall ye humble your souls, A statute age-abiding.
Ɛyɛ homeda a ɛsɛ sɛ mode home enti ɛsɛ sɛ mudi da no dinn wɔ ahobrɛase mu. Ɛyɛ mmara a ɛbɛtena hɔ daa.
32 Therefore shall the priest who shall be anointed, and installed, to minister as priest in the stead of his father make propitiation, —So then he shall put on the linen garments the holy garments;
Saa ahyɛde yi, Ɔsɔfopanyin a wɔasra no no a obesi ne nena Aaron anan na obedi ho dwuma wɔ beae hɔ. Ɔno nko ara na ɔwɔ ho kwan sɛ ɔhyɛ atade kronkron hanahana no
33 And make propitiation for the holy sanctuary, And for the tent of meeting, and for the altar, shall he make propitiation, —Over the priests also and over all the people of the convocation, shall he put a covering by propitiation.
na ɔyɛ mpata wɔ kronkronbea hɔ wɔ Ahyiae Ntamadan mu hɔ, wɔ afɔremuka no so de ma asɔfo no ne nnipa no.
34 So shall this become unto you an age-abiding statute, —to put a propitiatory-covering over the sons of Israel because of all their sins, Once in the year. And he did, As Yahweh commanded Moses.
“Eyi bɛyɛ mmara a ɛbɛtena hɔ daa ama mo, na Israelfo bɔne nti, moagyina so afe biara de ayɛ mpata ama Israelfo afi wɔn bɔne nyinaa mu.” Na Mose dii mmara a Awurade hyɛ maa no no nyinaa so.
