< Leviticus 15 >
1 Yahweh also said to Moses/me and Aaron,
Yehowa gblɔ na Mose kple Aron be,
2 “Tell this to the Israelis: When an infected discharge comes out of a man’s sexual organs [EUP], that fluid should not be touched.
“Migblɔ na Israelviwo be, ‘Ne ŋutsu aɖe le afu ɖɔm la, eŋuti mekɔ o.
3 Whether that fluid is blocked or continues to drip, it causes him to be someone who should not be touched.
Ne afua le dodom alo ne enu tso hã la, ŋutsu la ŋu mekɔ o.
4 “And any bed that such a man lies on should not be touched, and anything that he sits on should not be touched.
“‘Abati si dzi wòmlɔ kple nu si dzi wònɔ hã ŋu mekɔ o,
5 Anyone who touches that person’s bed must wash his clothes and bathe, and no one should touch him until that evening.
eya ta ame si ka asi ŋutsu la ƒe abati ŋu hã ŋuti mekɔ o va se ɖe fiẽ; ele nɛ be wòanya eƒe awuwo, eye wòale tsi.
6 Anyone who sits on something that man has sat on must wash his clothes and bathe, and no one should touch him until that evening.
Ame si nɔ zikpui si dzi ŋutsu si ŋu mekɔ o nɔ la hã ŋu mekɔ o va se ɖe fiẽ. Ele nɛ be wòanya eƒe awuwo, eye wòale tsi.
7 “Anyone who touches such a man must wash his clothes and bathe, and no one should touch him until that evening.
“‘Ame si ka asi ŋutsu si le afu ɖɔm ŋuti la ŋuti mekɔ o va se ɖe fiẽ, eye ele nɛ be wòanya eƒe awuwo, ale tsi.
8 “If such a man spits on someone else, that person who is spit upon should not be touched. He must wash his clothes, and no one should touch him until that evening.
“‘Ne ŋutsu si le afu ɖɔm ɖe ta ɖe ame si ŋuti kɔ ŋu la, ele na ame ma be wòanya eƒe awuwo, ale tsi, eye eŋuti mekɔ o va se ɖe fiẽ.
9 “Everything that a man who has such a discharge of fluid sits on while he is riding [a horse or a donkey] should not be touched,
“‘Nu sia nu si dzi afuɖɔla la anɔ ne ele sɔ dom la, ŋuti mekɔ o,
10 and anyone who touches the seat or saddle that he was sitting on also should not be touched until that evening. And anyone who picks up the seat or saddle must wash his clothes and bathe, and no one should touch him until that evening.
eye ame si aka asi nu siwo dzi wònɔ do sɔ la dometɔ aɖe ŋu la ŋuti mekɔ o va se ɖe fiẽ. Nenema ke ame si fɔ nuawo hã la ŋuti mekɔ o va se ɖe fie; ele nɛ be wòanya eƒe awuwo, ale tsi.
11 Anyone whom the man with such a discharge of fluid from his body touches without first rinsing his hands in water must wash his clothes and bathe, and no one should touch him until that evening.
“‘Ne ŋutsu si ŋu mekɔ o, meklɔ asi hafi ka asi ame aɖe ŋu o la, ele na amea hã be wòanya eƒe awuwo, ale tsi, eye eŋu makɔ o va se ɖe fiẽ.
12 “If such a man touches a clay pot, that pot must be broken into pieces. Anything made from wood that he touches must be rinsed in water.
“‘Ele be woagbã ze si ŋu ŋutsu la ka asii, eye woaklɔ atinu si ŋu wòka asii.
13 “If such a man is healed from his flow of fluid, he must wait for seven days. Then he must wash his clothes and bathe in water from a spring. Then he will be able to be with others.
“‘Ne ŋutsu aɖe ŋu kɔ tso afuɖɔɖɔ me la, nexlẽ ŋkeke adre hena eƒe ŋutikɔklɔ ƒe kɔnu, nenya eƒe awuwo eye wòale tsi nyuie ekema eŋuti akɔ.
14 On the eighth/next day, he must take two doves or two young pigeons and come in front of Yahweh at the entrance of the Sacred Tent, and give them to the priest.
Le ŋkeke enyia gbe la, alé akpakpa eve alo ahɔnɛvi eve, ado ɖe Yehowa ŋkume le Agbadɔ la ƒe mɔnu, eye wòatsɔ wo ana nunɔla la.
15 The priest will sacrifice them. One will be an offering for the man to become acceptable to God, and the other one will be completely burned [on the altar]. As a result of the priest doing that, the man will be forgiven for having sinned.
Nunɔla la atsɔ akpakpawo dometɔ ɖeka asa nu vɔ̃ vɔsa, eye wòatsɔ evelia asa numevɔ. Ale nunɔla la alé avu ɖe enu le Yehowa ŋkume le afu si wòɖɔ la ta.
16 “Then semen accidentally flows from a man’s sexual organs [EUP], he must bathe his whole body, and no one should touch him until that evening.
“‘Ɣe sia ɣi si ŋutsu aɖe anye tsi la, ele nɛ be wòale tsi nyuie, eye eŋu makɔ o va se ɖe fiẽ.
17 Any clothing or leather that has semen on it must be washed, and no one should touch it until that evening.
Ele be wòanya nudodo alo ayi si ŋu ŋutsu ƒe tsi la ka la kple tsi, eye eŋu makɔ o va se ɖe fiẽ.
18 When a man has sex with a woman and some semen spills, both of them must bathe, and no one should touch them until that evening.
Ne ŋutsu aɖe dɔ nyɔnu aɖe gbɔ la, ele be wo ame eve la nale tsi, eye wo ŋu mekɔ o va se ɖe fiẽ.
19 “Then a woman has her monthly menstrual period, no one should touch her for seven days. If anyone touches her [during that time], no one should touch the person who touched her until that evening.
“‘Ne nyɔnu aɖe kpɔ dzinu la, eŋu mekɔ o va se ɖe esime ŋkeke adre nava yi. Le ɣeyiɣi sia me la, ame sia ame si ka asi eŋu la ŋu mekɔ o va se ɖe fiẽ.
20 No one should touch anything that she lies on or sits on during that time.
“‘Nu sia nu si dzi wòamlɔ alo anɔ le ɣe ma ɣi me la ŋuti mekɔ o.
21 Anyone who touches her bed must wash his clothes and bathe, and no one should touch that person until that evening.
Ame sia ame si ka asi eƒe abati ŋu la anya eƒe awuwo, ale tsi, eye eŋu makɔ o va se ɖe fiẽ.
22 Anyone who touches something that she has been sitting on, a bed or anything else, must wash his clothes, and no one should touch that person until that evening.
Ame sia ame si ka asi eƒe nunɔdzi aɖe ŋu la, anya eƒe awuwo, ale tsi, eye eŋu makɔ o va se ɖe fiẽ.
Eɖanye abati o, eɖanye nu si dzi wònɔ o, ne ame aɖe ka asi eŋu ko la, amea ŋu makɔ o va se ɖe fiẽ.
24 “If a man has sex with a woman [during that time] and some of the menstrual blood touches him, no one should touch him for seven days, and no one should touch the bed that he lies on.
“‘Ŋutsu si adɔ nyɔnu sia gbɔ le eƒe asiɖoanyiɣi, eye ʋua ƒe ɖe ka eŋu la, eŋuti makɔ o hena ŋkeke adre, eye abati ɖe sia ɖe si dzi wòamlɔ la ŋu makɔ o.
25 “Then a woman has a vaginal discharge of blood for (many days/a long time), which is not her monthly flow of blood, or if her flow of blood continues after her monthly flow ends, no one should touch her until it stops.
“‘Ne gbɔtotsitsi la xɔ ɣeyiɣi wu ale si wòxɔna tsã alo wòva le ɣeyiɣi trama aɖe dzi le ɣletia me la, ekema nyɔnu la ŋuti mekɔ o, zi ale si ʋu la le dodom abe ale si wònɔna ne wòɖo asi anyi ene.
26 And no one should touch the bed that she lies on or anything that she sits on while that flow of blood continues, just like during her monthly menstrual period.
Esia fia be nu sia nu si dzi wòamlɔ le ɣeyiɣi ma me la ŋu makɔ o, abe ale si wòanɔ le eƒe gbɔtotsitsi ŋutɔ me ene. Nenema ke nu sia nu si dzi wòanɔ hã ŋu mekɔ o.
27 Anyone who touches those things should not touch anyone else; he must wash his clothes and bathe, and he should not touch anyone else until that evening.
Ame sia ame si ka asi eƒe abati alo nu si dzi wònɔ ŋu la ŋu mekɔ o. Ele be wòanya eƒe awuwo, ale tsi, eye eŋuti makɔ o va se ɖe fiẽ.
28 “After a woman’s monthly menstrual flow ends, she must wait seven days before she touches anyone.
“‘Ne gbɔtotsitsi sia nu tso, eye ŋkeke adre va yi la, ekema eŋuti kɔ azɔ.
29 On the eighth/next day, she must take two doves or two pigeons to the priest at the entrance of the Sacred Tent.
Le ŋkeke enyia gbe la, nyɔnu la atsɔ akpakpa eve alo ahɔnɛvi eve ayi na nunɔla la le Agbadɔ la ƒe mɔnu.
30 The priest will sacrifice one of them to be an offering to enable her to become acceptable to Yahweh again, and completely burn the other one [on the altar]. By doing that he will cause me, Yahweh, to forgive her for having sinned [DOU].
Nunɔla la atsɔ ɖeka asa nu vɔ̃ vɔsa, atsɔ evelia asa numevɔ, eye wòalé avu ɖe enu le Yehowa ŋkume le ale si gbɔtotsitsi na eŋu mekɔ o la ta.
31 “You must warn the Israeli people not to do things that (defile them/cause them to be unacceptable to me). If they become (unacceptable to me/defiled), they will cause my Sacred Tent which is among them to become an unacceptable place to worship me, and as a result they will die.”
“‘Ale ne Israelviwo ŋu mekɔ o la, miakɔ wo ŋuti; ne menye nenema o la, woagblẽ kɔ ɖo na nye Agbadɔ si le wo dome, eye woaku.’”
32 “Those are the regulations for a man who has a fluid that flows from his sexual organs or who should not be touched because some of his semen spills out while having sex [with a woman],
Eya ta esiae nye se na ŋutsu si le afu ɖɔm kple ŋutsu si nye tsi, eye eŋu mekɔ o,
33 and for any woman during her monthly menstrual period, and for any man who has sex with a woman during her menstrual period.”
kple se le nyɔnuwo ƒe gbɔtotsitsi ŋu kple se na ŋutsu si adɔ nyɔnu si tsi gbɔto, eye eŋu mekɔ o la gbɔ.
