Exodus 29
1 “This is what you must do to dedicate Aaron and his sons to serve me [by being] priests: Select one young bull and two rams that do not have any defects.
“Ɛkwan a ɛsɛ sɛ mofa so hyɛ Aaron ne ne mma asɔfoɔ nie: momfa nantwie ba ne nnwennini mmienu a wɔn ho nni dɛm;
2 Bake three [kinds of bread] using finely-ground wheat flour, but without yeast: Bake some loaves that do not have any olive oil in them, bake some loaves that have olive oil in the dough, and bake some thin wafers that will be smeared with olive oil [after they are baked].
afei momfa esiam muhumuhu a mmɔreka nni mu nyɛ burodo a ɛyɛ dɛ ne taterɛ a wɔde ngo afra ne ɔfam a wɔde ngo agu so.
3 Put them in a basket and offer them [to me] when you sacrifice the young bull and the two rams.
Fa burodo no gu kɛntɛn mu na fa nantwie ba no ne odwennini no ka ho bra Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no ano.
4 Take Aaron and his sons to the entrance of the Sacred Tent, and wash them [ritually].
Momfa Aaron ne ne mmammarima no mmra Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no kwan ano hɔ, na momfa nsuo nnware wɔn.
5 Then put the special clothes on Aaron—the long-sleeved tunic/gown, the robe that will be worn underneath the sacred apron, the sacred apron, the sacred pouch, and the sash/waistband.
Afei, momfa Aaron atadeɛ yuu no nhyɛ no. Monhyɛ no atadekɔnsini no, ne asɔfotadeɛ no ne adaaboɔ no ne abɔwomu no,
6 Place the turban on his head, and fasten to the turban the ornament that has the words ‘Dedicated to Yahweh’ engraved on it.
na momfa abotire a sikakɔkɔɔ kronkron bobɔ mu no mmɔ no.
7 Then take the oil and pour some on his head to (dedicate him/set him apart).
Afei, momfa srango no na monhwie ngu ne tiri so.
8 Then bring his sons and put the long-sleeved tunics/gowns on them.
Ne mmammarima no nso, momfa wɔn ntadeɛ yuu no nhyehyɛ wɔn.
9 Put the sashes/waistbands around their waists and the caps on their heads. That is the ritual by which you are to (dedicate them/set them apart) to be priests. Aaron and his male descendants must serve me [by being] priests forever.
Momfa wɔn abɔwomu no ne ɛkyɛ nka wɔn ho. Saa ɛkwan yi so na momfa nhyɛ Aaron ne ne mma ne wɔn asefoɔ ma wɔnyɛ asɔfoɔ daa nyinaa.
10 “Then bring the young bull to the entrance of the Sacred Tent. Tell Aaron and his sons to put their hands on the head of the young bull.
“Mode nantwie ba no bɛba Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no anim na Aaron ne ne mmammarima de wɔn nsa agu aboa no apampam.
11 Then, while they do that, kill the young bull [by slitting its throat], and catch/drain the blood in a bowl.
Afei, monkum no wɔ Awurade anim wɔ Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no kwan ano.
12 Take some of that blood with your finger and smear it on the projections of the altar. Throw/Splash the rest of the blood against the base of the altar.
Momfa ne mogya nsrasra mmɛn a ɛtuatua afɔrebukyia no ho no so. Momfa mo nsateaa na ɛnyɛ, na monhwie mogya a ɛbɛka no ngu afɔrebukyia no ase.
13 Take all the fat that covers the inner organs of the young bull, the best part of the liver, and the two kidneys with the fat on them, and burn all these on the altar [as an offering to me].
Monyi ne mu sradeɛ no ne ne berɛboɔ kotokuo no ne ne sawa mmienu no ne sradeɛ a ɛwɔ ho no na monhye no wɔ afɔrebukyia no so.
14 But the meat of the young bull and its hide and intestines must be burned outside the camp. That will be an offering to forgive the guilt of your sins.
Afei, momfa aboa no ne ne wedeɛ ne nʼagyanan no mfiri beaeɛ hɔ na monkɔhye no sɛ bɔne ho afɔrebɔ.
15 “Then select one of the rams, and tell Aaron and his sons to put their hands on the head of the ram.
“Sɛ wɔrebɛkum nnwennini no nso a, Aaron ne ne mmammarima no mfa wɔn nsa ngu aboa no baako apampam
16 Then kill the ram [by slitting its throat]. Catch/Drain some of the blood and splash it against all four sides of the altar.
na wɔnkum no. Wɔnsɔ ne mogya no na wɔmfa mpete afɔrebukyia no ho nyinaa.
17 Then cut the ram into pieces. Wash its inner organs and its rear legs and put those with the head
Twitwa odwennini no asinasini na hohoro nʼayamdeɛ no mu ne ne nnyawa no ho; fa ne ti no ne deɛ moatwitwa no gu faako
18 and burn those pieces [completely] on the altar with the rest of the ram. That will be an offering to me, Yahweh, and the smell will please me.
na monhye no wɔ afɔrebukyia no so; ɛyɛ ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ a ɛsɔ Awurade ani.
19 “Take the other ram [that was selected for these rituals], and tell Aaron and his sons to put their hands on the ram’s head.
“Afei, momfa odwennini a aka no na Aaron ne ne mmammarima mfa wɔn nsa ngu nʼapampam,
20 Then kill the ram by slitting its throat, and drain the blood [into a bowl]. Smear some of the blood on the lobe of the right ears of Aaron and his sons, and on the thumbs of their right hands, and on the big toes of their right feet. Throw/Splash the rest of the blood against the four sides of the altar.
na wɔnkum no. Monsɔ mogya no bi na momfa ketewaa bi nsosɔ Aaron ne ne mmammarima no aso nifa, wɔn kokurobetie nifa ne wɔn nan nifa kokurobetie so. Afei mompete nkaeɛ no ngu afɔrebukyia no ho nyinaa.
21 Wipe up some of the blood that is on the altar, mix it with some of the oil for anointing, and sprinkle it on Aaron and his clothes, and on his sons and their clothes. By doing that, you will dedicate them and their clothes [to me].
Montwerɛ mogya a ɛwɔ afɔrebukyia no so no bi na momfa mfra srango na momfa mpete Aaron ne ne mmammarima so ne wɔn ntadeɛ mu. Ɛnam saa so bɛma wɔne wɔn ntadeɛ ho ate wɔ Awurade anim.
22 “Also, cut off the ram’s fat and its fat tail and the fat that covers the inner organs, the best part of the liver, the two kidneys with the fat on them, and the right thigh.
“Momfa odwennini no sradeɛ ne ne duapuo ne ne mu sradeɛ ne ne berɛboɔ kotokuo ne ne sawa mmienu ne ɛho sradeɛ ne ne srɛ nifa—yei ne odwennini a wɔde bɛhyɛ Aaron ne ne mmammarima asɔfoɔ.
23 Take also one of each of the kinds of bread [that was baked]—one made with no oil, one with oil, and one thin wafer.
Momfa burodo mua baako ne taterɛ a wɔde srango afra, na monyi ɔfam baako mfiri kɛntɛn a wɔde burodo a mmɔreka nni mu agu mu a wɔde asi Awurade anim no mu.
24 Put all these things in the hands of Aaron and his sons. [Then tell them to] lift them up [high] to dedicate them to me.
Momfa yeinom nhyɛ Aaron ne ne mmammarima nsam na wɔmfa nkyerɛ sɛ ɔhim afɔrebɔdeɛ mma Awurade.
25 Then take them from their hands and burn them on the altar, on top of the other things [that were placed there]. That [also] will be an offering to me, and its smell will please me.
Ɛno akyi, monnye mfiri wɔn nsam na monhye no afɔrebukyia no so sɛ ohwam afɔdeɛ mma no.
26 Then take the meat of the ribs of the second ram that was killed, and lift it up [high] as an offering to me. But then this part of the animal will be for you [to eat].
Afei, momfa Aaron asɔfohyɛdwan no yan na monhim no Awurade anim, mfa nkyerɛ sɛ, morebɔ no afɔdeɛ; ɛno akyi momfa
27 Then take the meat of the ribs, the other thigh of the first ram that was sacrificed to (dedicate/set apart) the priests, and the ram whose other parts were lifted high to show that they were an offering to me; and set the meat of the ribs and thigh apart for Aaron and his sons, for them to eat.
odwennini a moate ne ho no yan ne ne srɛ
28 In the future, whenever the Israeli people present to me, Yahweh, offerings to maintain fellowship with me, the ribs and the thigh [of animals that they sacrifice] will be for Aaron and his male descendants [to eat].
mma Aaron ne ne mmammarima. Ɛsɛ sɛ daa ɛyɛ Israelfoɔ asɛdeɛ sɛ wɔbɛboa saa afɔrebɔ yi—sɛ ɛyɛ asomdwoeɛ afɔrebɔ anaa aseda afɔrebɔ, de hyɛ Awurade animuonyam.
29 “After Aaron [dies], the special clothes that he wore will belong to his sons. They are to wear those clothes when they are (set apart/dedicated) [to become priests].
“Aaron ntadeɛ kronkron yi, wɔbɛkora na wɔate ho de ama ne mmammarima a daakye wɔbɛdi nʼadeɛ, sɛdeɛ sɛ wɔn asɔfohyɛ duru so a, wɔbɛtumi de ahyɛ wɔn.
30 Aaron’s son who becomes The Supreme Priest and enters the Sacred Tent and performs rituals in the Holy Place must [stay in the Sacred Tent], wearing these special clothes, for seven days.
Ɔsɔfopanin biara a ɔbɛdi Aaron adeɛ no bɛhyɛ saa ntadeɛ yi nnanson ansa na wafiri nʼasɔfodwuma ase wɔ Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no mu ne kronkronbea hɔ.
31 “Take the meat of the other ram that was sacrificed to (set apart/dedicate) Aaron and his sons, and boil it in the courtyard.
“Fa odwennini no nam a wɔate ho no ne odwennini nam a wɔde hyɛɛ ɔsɔfoɔ no na monnoa no baabi a ɛhɔ te.
32 After it is cooked, Aaron and his sons must eat it, along with the bread that is left in the basket, at the entrance of the Sacred Tent.
Aaron ne ne mmammarima bɛdi burodo a ɛwɔ kɛntɛn no mu no, na wɔde ɛnam no abɔ so wɔ Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no ano.
33 They must eat the meat of the ram that was sacrificed to forgive them for [their sins] when they were dedicated to do this work. They are the only ones who are permitted to eat this meat. [Those who are not priests are not allowed to eat it], because it is dedicated to me.
Wɔn nko ara na wɔbɛwe ɛnam no adi nnuane a wɔde tee wɔn ho no. Nnipa a wɔmfra asɔfoɔ abusua no mu no renni bi, ɛfiri sɛ, wɔate ho.
34 If any of this meat or some of the bread is not eaten that night, no one is permitted to eat any of it the next day. It must be completely burned, because it is sacred/dedicated to me.
Sɛ ɛba sɛ adeɛ kye ɛnam anaa burodo no bi so a, monhye no. Ɛnsɛ sɛ wɔdi, ɛfiri sɛ, ɛyɛ kronkron.
35 “Those are the rituals that you(sg) must perform during those seven days when you dedicate Aaron and his sons for this work. You must do everything that I have commanded you.
“Yei ne ɛkwan a momfa so nhyɛ Aaron ne ne mmammarima no asɔfoɔ. Nnanson na wɔmfa nni saa asɔfohyɛ no ho dwuma.
36 Each of those seven days you must also sacrifice a young bull as an offering to me, in order that I may forgive sins. Also, you must make another offering (to make the altar pure in my sight/in order that I will consider the altar to be pure). You must also anoint the altar with olive oil, to (set it apart/dedicate it).
Ɛda biara, mode nantwie ba bɛbɔ afɔdeɛ de adwira mo ho. Ɛno akyi, pra afɔrebukyia no ho bɔne nyinaa na yɛ no kronkron na hwie ngo gu so fa te ho.
37 Perform these rituals every day for seven days, to (set apart/dedicate) the altar and make it pure. If you do not do that, anyone or anything that touches the altar will become taboo.
Te afɔrebukyia no ho na daa yɛ no kronkron saa ara nnanson ma Onyankopɔn. Ɛno akyi, afɔrebukyia no ho bɛte yie sɛdeɛ biribiara a wɔde bɛka no no bɛyɛ Onyankopɔn dea.
38 “You must also sacrifice lambs and burn them on the altar. Each of those [seven] days you must sacrifice two lambs.
“Ɛda biara, mommɔ nnwanten mma mmienu afɔdeɛ wɔ afɔrebukyia no so.
39 One lamb must be sacrificed in the morning, and one must be sacrificed in the evening.
Momfa odwammaa no baako mmɔ afɔdeɛ no anɔpa na momfa baako nso mmɔ afɔdeɛ anwummerɛ.
40 With the first lamb, also offer (2 pounds/1 kilogram) of finely-ground wheat flour mixed with one quart/liter of the best kind of olive oil, and one quart/liter of wine as an offering.
Afɔrebɔ no mu baako, momfa asikyiresiam lita mmienu ne fa a wɔayam no muhumuhu mfra ngo a wɔakyi firi ngo dua mu nkɔtoa mmienu ne fa; saa ara na momfa bobesa lita baako nyɛ ahwiesa.
41 In the evening, when you sacrifice the other lamb, offer the same amounts of flour, olive oil, and wine as you did in the morning. This will be an offering to me, Yahweh, that will be burned, and its smell will please me.
Momfa odwammaa no baako a waka no mmɔ anwummerɛ afɔdeɛ a asikyiresiam ne nsã ka ho te sɛ anɔpa deɛ no ara. Ɛbɛyɛ ɔhyeɛ afɔrehwam ama Awurade.
42 You [and your descendants] must continue making these offerings to me, Yahweh, throughout all future generations. You must offer them at the entrance of the Sacred Tent. That is where I will meet with you and speak to you.
“Saa afɔrebɔ yi bɛkɔ so ɛda biara wɔ Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no ɛpono ano wɔ Awurade anim. Ɛhɔ na mɛhyia mo ne mo akasa.
43 That is where I will meet with the Israeli people, and the brilliant light of my presence will cause that place to be holy/sacred.
Na mɛhyia Israel mma wɔ hɔ na mʼanimuonyam ate Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no ho.
44 I will dedicate the Sacred Tent and the altar. I will also dedicate Aaron and his sons to serve me [by being] priests.
“Ampa ara, mɛte Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no ne afɔrebukyia no ho ne Aaron ne ne mmammarima a wɔyɛ mʼasɔfoɔ no ho.
45 I will live among the Israeli people, and I will be their God.
Na mɛtena Israelfoɔ mu na mayɛ wɔn Onyankopɔn,
46 They will know that I, Yahweh their God, am the one who brought them out of Egypt in order that I might live among them.”
na wɔbɛhunu sɛ mene Awurade, wɔn Onyankopɔn. Mede wɔn firi Misraim baeɛ sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a, mɛtena wɔn mu. Mene Awurade wɔn Onyankopɔn.
