< Leviticus 4 >

1 And Yahweh spake, unto Moses, saying:
Yehowa gade se siawo na Mose:
2 Speak thou unto the sons of Israel, saying—When any person, shall sin by mistake, departing from any of the commandments of Yahweh, as to things which should not be done, and shall do 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, shall sin, so as to bring guilt upon the people, then shall he bring near for his sin which he hath committed a choice young bullock without defect, unto Yahweh as a sin-bearer.
“‘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 And he shall bring in the bullock unto the entrance of the tent of meeting, before Yahweh, —and shall lean his hand upon the head of the bullock, and shall slay the bullock before Yahweh.
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 And the anointed priest shall take of the blood of the bullock, —and bring it into the tent of meeting;
Ekema nunɔla la atsɔ nyitsu la ƒe ʋu ayi Agbadɔ la me,
6 and the priest shall dip his finger in the blood, —and sprinkle of the blood seven times, before Yahweh, in front of 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 Then shall the priest put of the blood upon the horns of the altar of fragrant incense before Yahweh, which is in the tent of meeting, —and, all the [remainder of the] blood of the bullock, shall he pour out at the base of the altar of ascending-sacrifice, which is at the entrance 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 And all the fat of the sin-bearing bullock, shall he heave up therefrom, —the fat that covereth over the inwards, and all the fat that is upon the inwards;
Le esia megbe la, nunɔla la aɖe ami le nyitsua ƒe dɔmenuawo,
9 and the two kidneys, and the fat that is upon them which is upon the loins, —and as for the caul upon the liver, upon the kidneys, shall he remove it:
ayiku eveawo kple aklã la ŋu,
10 just as it is heaved up from the ox of the peace-offering, —and the priest shall make of them a perfume on the altar of ascending-sacrifice,
eye wòatɔ dzo wo ɖe numevɔsamlekpui la dzi abe ale si wotsɔa nyitsu alo nyinɔ sãa akpedavɔ ene tututu.
11 But, as for the skin of the bullock and all its flesh with its head and with its legs, —and its inwards, and its dung,
Ke atsɔ nyitsu la ƒe ayi kple eƒe lã katã, kpe ɖe eƒe ta kple afɔwo ŋu,
12 he shall take forth the entire bullock—unto the outside of the camp, unto a clean place unto the outpoured heap of fat-ashes, and shall burn it up on wood in the fire, —upon the outpoured heap of fat-ashes, shall it be burned up.
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 And, if the whole assembly of Israel, shall make a mistake, and a matter be hidden from the eyes of the convocation, —and so they do something, whereby they depart from any of the commandments of Yahweh as to things which should not be done, and become 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 and the sin shall become known, which they have committed therein, then shall the convocation bring near a choice young bullock as a sin-bearer, yea they shall bring it in. 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 and the elders of the assembly shall lean their hands upon the head of the bullock before Yahweh, —and shall slay the bullock, before Yahweh;
Dukɔ la ƒe ametsitsiwo ada asi ɖe nyitsu la ƒe ta dzi, eye woawui le Yehowa ŋkume.
16 and the anointed priest shall bring in of the blood of the bullock, —into 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 shall sprinkle of the blood seven times before Yahweh, upon the face of the veil;
ade eƒe asibidɛ ʋu la me, eye wòahlẽe zi adre ɖe xɔmetsovɔ la ŋgɔ le Yehowa ŋkume.
18 and, some of the blood, shall he put upon the horns of the altar which is before Yahweh, which is in the tent of meeting; and, all the [remainder of the] blood, shall he pour out at the base of the altar of ascending-sacrifice, which is at the entrance 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 and, as for all the fat thereof, he shall heave up therefrom, —and make a perfume at the altar.
Woaɖe eƒe ami ɖe sia ɖe, eye woatɔ dzoe le vɔsamlekpui la dzi.
20 And he shall do to the bullock, as he did to the [first] sin-bearing bullock, so shall he do with this, —and the priest shall put a propitiatory-covering over them, and it shall be forgiven them.
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 And he shall take forth the bullock unto the outside of the camp, and burn it up, just as he burned up the first bullock, —the sin-bearer of the convocation, it is.
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 prince, shall sin, —and shall do something, departing from any of the commandments of Yahweh his God as to things which should not be done, by mistake and shall become aware of his guilt;
“‘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 or his sin wherein he hath sinned be made known unto him, then shall he bring in. as his oblation a he-goat a male without defect;
ne wova na wònya emegbe ko la, ele be wòatsɔ gbɔ̃tsu si de blibo la vɛ abe eƒe vɔsa ene.
24 and shall lean his hand upon the head of the goat, and shall slay it in the place where they slay the ascending-sacrifice before Yahweh, —a sin-bearer, it is.
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 And the priest shall take of the blood of the sin-bearer with his finger, and put upon the horns of the altar of ascending-sacrifice; and, the [remainder of the] blood thereof, shall he pour out at the base of the altar of ascending-sacrifice;
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 and with all the fat thereof, shall he make a perfume at the altar, as with the fat of the peace-offering, —so shall the priest put a propitiatory-covering over him because of his sin, and it shall be forgiven him.
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 And, if, any person, shall sin, by mistake from among the people of the land, —by his doing anything departing from any of the commandments of Yahweh, as to things which should not be done, and shall become aware of his guilt;
“‘Ne dukɔmevi aɖe da le Yehowa ƒe sewo dzi, gake menya be yewɔ nu vɔ̃ o la, eɖi fɔ.
28 or his sin which he hath committed shall be made known unto, him, then shall he bring in, as his oblation, a kid of the goats a female, without defect, for his sin which he hath committed;
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 and shall lean his hand upon the head of the sin-bearer, —and shall slay the sin-bearer in the place of the ascending-sacrifice.
Atsɔe va afi si wowua numevɔsalãwo le, ada asi ɖe lã la ƒe ta dzi, eye wòawui.
30 Then shall the priest take of the blood thereof with his finger, and put upon the horns of the altar of ascending-sacrifice, —and all the [remaining] blood thereof, shall he 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 and all the fat thereof, shall he remove as the fat from off the peace-offering was removed, and the priest shall make a perfume at the altar, for a satisfying odour unto Yahweh, —so shall the priest put a propitiatory-covering over him, and it shall be forgiven him.
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 And, if a lamb, he bring in. as his oblation for a sin-bearer, a female without defect, shall he bring in;
“‘Ke ne edi be yeasa vɔ la kple alẽ la, ekema ele be wòanye alẽnɔ si de blibo.
33 and shall lean his hand upon the head of the sin-bearer, —and shall slay it as a sin-bearer, in the place where they slay the ascending-sacrifice.
Akplɔe va afi si wowua numevɔsalãwo le, ada asi ɖe lã la ƒe ta dzi, eye wòawui abe nu vɔ̃ ŋuti vɔsalã ene.
34 Then shall the priest take of the blood of the sin-bearer with his finger, and put upon the horns of the altar of ascending-sacrifice, —and all the [remaining] blood thereof, shall he pour out, at the base of the altar;
Nunɔla la ade asibidɛ vɔsaʋu la me asisi ɖe numevɔsamlekpui la ƒe dzowo ŋuti, eye woakɔ ʋua ƒe mamlɛa katã ɖe vɔsamlekpui la te.
35 and all the fat thereof, shall he remove as the fat of the lamb is removed, from the peace-offering, and the priest shall make a perfume therewith at the altar, upon the altar-flames of Yahweh, —so shall the priest put a propitiatory-covering over him on account of his sin which he hath committed, and it shall be forgiven him.
Woawɔ lã la ƒe ami ŋu dɔ abe ale si wowɔa eŋu dɔ le akpedavɔsa me ene. Nunɔla la atɔ dzo lã la ƒe ami ɖe vɔsamlekpui la dzi abe ale si wowɔna kple vɔsanu bubu ɖe sia ɖe si wotɔa dzoe na Yehowa la ene. Ekema nunɔla la alé avu ɖe amea nu, eye Mawu atsɔ eƒe nu vɔ̃ akee.
