Leviticus 17

1 And he spoke Yahweh to Moses saying.

Yehowa gblɔ na Mose be,

2 Speak to Aaron and to sons his and to all [the] people of Israel and you will say to them this [is] the thing which he has commanded Yahweh saying.

“Ƒo nu na Aron kple via ŋutsuwo kple Israelviwo katã, eye nàgblɔ na wo be, ‘Esiae nye se si Yehowa de:

3 A person a person from [the] house of Israel who he will cut [the] throat of an ox or a young ram or a goat in the camp or who he will cut [the] throat of [it] from [the] outside of the camp.

Israelvi ɖe sia ɖe si asa vɔ kple nyitsu, alẽvi alo gbɔ̃ le asaɖa la me alo egodo

4 And to [the] entrance of [the] tent of meeting not he has brought it to present a present to Yahweh before [the] dwelling place of Yahweh blood it will be reckoned to the person that blood he has shed and he will be cut off the person that from among people his.

le esime wòatsɔe ava Mawu ƒe Agbadɔ la nu bena woasa vɔ na Yehowa le Yehowa ƒe Agbadɔ la ƒe ŋkume teƒe la, woabu ame ma be eɖi fɔ le ʋukɔkɔɖi me. Ekɔ ʋu ɖi, eye ele be woaɖee ɖa le eƒe amewo dome.

5 So that that they may bring [the] people of Israel sacrifices their which they [are] sacrificing on [the] face of the field and they will bring them to Yahweh to [the] entrance of [the] tent of meeting to the priest and they will sacrifice sacrifices of peace offerings to Yahweh them.

Se sia ƒe taɖodzinue nye wòana be Israelviwo magasa vɔ le gbedzi o, ke boŋ wòana be woatsɔ woƒe vɔsanuwo vɛ na nunɔla la le Agbadɔ la ƒe mɔnu, woatɔ dzo ami la abe ʋeʋẽ lĩlĩlĩ ene, wòanye nu si adze Yehowa ŋu, eye wòado dzidzɔ nɛ.

6 And he will sprinkle the priest the blood on [the] altar of Yahweh [the] entrance of [the] tent of meeting and he will make smoke the fat to an odor of soothing to Yahweh.

Nu sia wɔwɔ ana nunɔla la nate ŋu ahlẽ ʋu la ɖe Yehowa ƒe vɔsamlekpui la dzi, le Agbadɔ la ƒe mɔnu, eye wòatɔ dzo lãwo ƒe ami abe ʋeʋẽ lĩlĩlĩ ene na Yehowa. Nu sia adze Yehowa ŋu eye wòado dzidzɔ nɛ.

7 And not they will sacrifice again sacrifices their to the goat idols which they [are] prostituting themselves after them a statute of perpetuity it will be this for them to generations their.

Woawɔ alea, ale be amewo masa vɔ na gbɔgbɔ vɔ̃wo le gbedzi o. Esia anye se na mi tegbetegbe tso dzidzime yi dzidzime.’

8 And to them you will say a person a person from [the] house of Israel and of the sojourner[s] who he will sojourn in midst of them who he will offer up a burnt offering or a sacrifice.

“Gblɔ na wo be, ‘Israelvi aɖe alo amedzro aɖe si le mia dome, ame si asa numevɔ alo vɔsa bubu aɖe,

9 And to [the] entrance of [the] tent of meeting not he will bring it to offer it to Yahweh and he will be cut off the person that from kinspeople his.

eye metsɔe va Mawu ƒe Agbadɔ la nu be wòasa vɔ la na Yehowa o la, woaɖe ame ma ɖa le eƒe amewo dome.

10 And a person a person from [the] house of Israel and of the sojourner[s] who sojourns in midst of them who he will eat any blood and I will set face my on the person who eats blood and I will cut off it from among people its.

“‘Mado dɔmedzoe ɖe ame sia ame, Israelvi loo alo amedzro si le mia dome, si aɖu lã aɖe ƒe ʋu la ŋu. Maɖee ɖa le eƒe amewo dome.

11 For [the] life of the flesh [is] in the blood it and I I have given it to you on the altar to make atonement on selves your for [is] the blood it [which] by the life it makes atonement.

Esi lã aɖe ƒe agbe le eƒe ʋu me ta la, metsɔ lãwo ƒe ʋu na mi be miahlẽ ɖe vɔsamlekpui la dzi abe miaƒe luʋɔwo ŋuti kɔkɔ ene. Ʋue léa avu, elabena eyae nye agbe la.

12 There-fore I have said to [the] people of Israel any person from you not it will eat blood and the sojourner who sojourns in midst of you not he will eat blood.

Nu sia tae mede se na Israelviwo alo amedzro siwo le wo dome la be womekpɔ mɔ aɖu lã aɖeke ƒe ʋu o ɖo.

13 And a person a person from [the] people of Israel and of the sojourner[s] who sojourns in midst of them who he will hunt hunted game of an animal or a bird which it will be eaten and he will pour out blood its and he will cover it with dust.

“‘Ame sia ame, Israelvi loo alo amedzro si le mia dome, si yi adegbe, eye wòwu lã aɖe alo xevi aɖe, si ŋu se ɖe mɔ le be woaɖu la, ele nɛ be wòatsyɔ ʋu la akɔ ɖe anyigba, eye wòakplɔ ke atsyɔ edzi,

14 For [the] life of all flesh blood its [is] life its it and I have said to [the] people of Israel [the] blood of any flesh not you must eat for [the] life of all flesh [is] blood its it all [those who] eat it he will be cut off.

15 And every person who it will eat a carcass and a torn animal among the native-born and among the sojourner and he will wash garments his and he will wash with water and he will be unclean until the evening and he will be pure.

“‘Kpe ɖe esia ŋu la, ele na ame sia ame, Israelvi alo amedzro, si aɖu lã aɖe si ku le eɖokui si alo lã aɖe si lã lénu aɖe vuvu la, be wòanya eƒe awuwo, ale tsi, eye eƒe ŋuti mekɔ o va se ɖe fiẽ. Esia megbe la, eƒe ŋuti akɔ.

16 And if not he will wash and body his not he will wash and he will bear iniquity his.

Ke ne menya eƒe awuwo o, eye mele tsi hã o la, ekema eya ŋutɔ akpɔ eyomedzenu.’”
