< Leviticus 6 >

1 Yahweh also said to Moses/me,
Yehowa gblɔ na Mose be,
2 “If any one of you you sins against me by deceiving someone—if you refuse to return what someone has lent you, or if you steal something of his, or if you find something and claim that you do not have it,
“Nenye be ame aɖe wɔ nu vɔ̃, eye meto nyateƒe na Yehowa o, ne eble ehavi tso nu si woda ɖe egbɔ alo be nedzra ɖo na ye alo wòfi alo wòbae
3 you are guilty. You must return to its owner what you have stolen or what someone has lent you and you have not returned, or what you found that someone else had lost,
alo ne efɔ nu bubu aɖe, evɔ wòda alakpa le eŋuti alo wòka atam dzodzro alo wòwɔ nu vɔ̃ siawo dometɔ ɖeka si amewo awɔ,
4 or whatever you lied about.
eye ne ewɔ nu vɔ̃ siawo eye wòɖi fɔ la, ele nɛ be wòaɖe asi le nu si wòfi la alo xɔ to amebamɔ dzi alo nu si dzi wobe wòakpɔ alo nu si bu wòfɔ
5 You must not only return anything like that to its owner, but you must also pay to the owner one-fifth of its value.
alo nu sia nu si ŋu wòka aʋatsotam ɖo la ŋu. Ele be wòaɖo nua teƒe wòade, wòatsɔ nua ƒe home atɔ̃lia ƒe ɖeka akpee, eye wòatsɔ wo katã na nutɔ le ŋkeke si wòtsɔ eƒe fɔɖivɔsa na la dzi.
6 You must also bring to the Supreme Priest a ram to be an offering to me in order that you will no longer be guilty. The ram that you bring must be one that has no defects, one that has the value that has been officially determined.
Eƒe fɔɖivɔsanu anye agbo si de blibo, eye eƒe home nade nu sia nu si nàbia tso esi la nu. Atsɔe vɛ na nunɔla si le Yehowa teƒe,
7 Then he will offer that ram to be a sacrifice that will cause you to no longer be guilty, and you will be forgiven for the wrong things that you did.”
ame si alé avu ɖe enu le Yehowa ŋkume, eye Mawu atsɔ eƒe nu vɔ̃ akee.”
8 Yahweh also said to Moses/me,
Yehowa gagblɔ na Mose be,
9 “Tell this to Aaron and his sons: These are the regulations concerning the offerings that will be completely burned [on the altar]: The offering must remain on the altar all during the night, and the fire on the altar must always be kept burning.
“De se siawo na Aron kple via ŋutsuwo tso numevɔsa ŋuti, ‘Woagblẽ numevɔsa la ɖe vɔsamlekpui la ƒe dzodoƒe, eye dzo nanɔ bibim le ete zã blibo la.
10 [The next morning] the priest must put on his linen under-clothes and linen outer clothes. Then he must remove the ashes of the offering from the fire and put them beside the altar.
Ne ŋu ke la, nunɔla la ado eƒe awutewui kple eƒe dziwui, akplɔ numevɔsa la ƒe dzowɔ akɔ ɖe vɔsamlekpui la xa.
11 Then he must take off those clothes and put on other clothes, and take the ashes outside the camp, to a place that is acceptable to me.
Emegbe la, aɖɔli eƒe awuwo, atsɔ dzowɔ la ayi teƒe si ŋuti kɔ le asaɖa la godo.
12 The fire on the altar must always be kept burning; the priest must not allow it to (go out/quit burning). Each morning the priest must put more firewood on the fire. Then he must arrange more offerings on the fire, and burn on the altar the fat of the offerings to be burned to maintain fellowship [with me].
Vɔsamlekpui la ƒe dzo aganɔ bibim kokoko; mele be wòatsi o. Nunɔla la agade nake yeyewo dzo la me ŋdi sia ŋdi, eye wòatsɔ gbe sia gbe ƒe numevɔsa ada ɖe edzi, atɔ dzo gbe sia gbe ƒe ŋutifafavɔsa ƒe ami.
13 The fire on the altar must be kept burning continually; the priest must not allow it to go out.”
Ele be dzo nanɔ bibim le vɔsamlekpui la dzi madzudzɔmadzudzɔe. Mele be wòatsi gbeɖe o.’”
14 “These are the regulations concerning the offerings made from grain: Aaron’s sons must bring them to me in front of the altar.
“Se siwo le nuɖuvɔsa ŋu la woe nye: ‘Aron ƒe viŋutsuwo atsi tsitre ɖe vɔsamlekpui la ŋgɔ, eye woasa vɔ la le Yehowa ŋkume.
15 The priest must take a handful of fine flour mixed with olive oil and incense and burn that on the altar. That handful will signify that the whole offering truly belongs to me. And the aroma while it burns will be pleasing to me.
Nunɔla la aɖe wɔ memee la ƒe asiʋlo ɖeka, akɔ ami kple dzudzɔdonu ɖe edzi, eye wòatɔ dzoe le vɔsamlekpui la dzi abe Yehowa tɔ ene tso nu si wotsɔ vɛ la me. Yehowa axɔe kple dzidzɔ gã.
16 Aaron and his sons may eat the remaining part of the grain offering. But they must eat it in a holy place, in the courtyard of the Sacred Tent.
Wɔ si asusɔ le asiʋlo ɖeka ɖeɖe vɔ megbe la azu nuɖuɖu na Aron kple via ŋutsuwo. Womade amɔʋãtike eme o. Woaɖui le Agbadɔ la ƒe xɔxɔnu.
17 It must not have yeast mixed with it. Like the offerings for sin and the offerings to cause people to no longer be guilty of sin, that offering is very holy.
Te gbe ɖe edzi na wo be, ne womee le abolokpo me la, amɔʋãtike manɔ eme o. Metsɔ numevɔ si wosa nam la ƒe akpa sia na nunɔlawo. Ke numevɔsa blibo la le kɔkɔe abe ale si nu vɔ̃ ŋuti vɔsa kple fɔɖivɔsa blibo la le ene.
18 Any male descendants of Aaron are permitted to eat it, because it is forever their regular share of the offerings given to me and burned in the fire [on the altar]. Anyone else who touches those offerings made from grain will be punished by God.”
Ŋutsu ɖe sia ɖe si dzɔ tso Aron me, nunɔla ɖe sia ɖe, ate ŋu aɖui tso dzidzime yi dzidzime. Ke nunɔla siwo ŋuti kɔ koe kpɔ mɔ aɖu vɔsanu siwo wome na Yehowa.’”
19 Yahweh also said to Moses/me,
Yehowa gblɔ na Mose bena,
20 “Tell Aaron and his sons that this is the offering that they must bring to Yahweh on the day that any of them (is ordained/becomes a priest): That person must bring two quarts/liters of fine flour as an offering made from grain. He must bring half of it in the morning and half of it in the evening.
“Nu siae nye nu si Aron kple via ŋutsuwo ana Yehowa le gbe si gbe woasi ami nɛ: wɔ memee kilogram ɖeka abe gbe sia gbe ƒe nuɖuvɔsa ene. Woatsɔ afã vɛ ŋdi, eye afã evelia le fiẽ.
21 He must mix it well with olive oil and bake it in a shallow pan. He must then break it into small pieces to be burned [on the altar]. And the aroma while it burns will be pleasing to Yahweh.
Tsɔ ami tɔe le nutɔgba me wòabi nyuie ekema nàtsɔe vɛ na Yehowa wòanye vɔsa si dzea eŋu.
22 I have commanded that the descendants of Aaron who are appointed in turn to become the Supreme Priests after Aaron dies are the ones who must prepare those things. These offerings must be completely burned [on the altar] to be sacrifices to me, Yahweh.
Via ŋutsu si axɔ ɖe eteƒe abe nunɔla si wosi ami na ene la atrɔ asi le eŋu. Enye Yehowa tɔ ɣe sia ɣi, eye woatɔ dzoe wòafia keŋkeŋ.
23 Every offering that a priest gives that is made from grain must be completely burned; none of it is to be eaten.”
Woatɔ dzo nunɔlawo ƒe nuɖuvɔsa ɖe sia ɖe keŋkeŋ, eye womaɖui o.”
24 Yahweh also said to Moses/me,
Le esia megbe la, Yehowa gblɔ na Mose be,
25 “Tell Aaron and his sons: These are the regulations concerning the offerings that people must bring to me so that I will forgive the people for the sins they have committed:
“Gblɔ na Aron kple via ŋutsuwo be se siwo le nu vɔ̃ ŋuti vɔsa ŋu la woe nye esiawo. “Vɔsa sia nye nu kɔkɔe. Woawu vɔsalã la le Yehowa ŋkume, afi si wowua numevɔsalãwo le.
26 The animals must be slaughtered in my presence in the same place that the animals that are to be completely burned [on the altar] are slaughtered, in the courtyard in front of the Sacred Tent.
Nunɔla si asa vɔ sia la aɖu vɔsalã la le Agbadɔ la ƒe kpɔ me.
27 Any other person who touches any of its meat will be punished by God. And if its blood is splattered on your clothes, you must wash the clothes in a holy place.
Ame siwo ŋuti wokɔ, eye wozu nunɔlawo la koe kpɔ mɔ aka asi lã la ŋu. Ne ʋu hlẽ ɖe ame aɖe ƒe awu ŋu la, woanyae le teƒe kɔkɔe aɖe.
28 If the meat is cooked in a clay pot, the pot must be broken [afterwards]. But if it is cooked in a bronze pot, the pot must be scoured [afterwards] and rinsed with water.
Ekema woagbã ze si me wonya awu la le. Ne enye akɔblizee la, woaklɔe nyuie.
29 Any male in a priest’s family may eat some of the cooked meat; that meat is very holy.
Ŋutsu ɖe sia ɖe le nunɔlawo dome kpɔ mɔ aɖu vɔsalã sia. Ke woawo koe kpɔ mɔ aɖui, elabena nu kɔkɔe wònye.
30 But if the blood of those sin offerings is brought into the Sacred Tent to enable the people to be forgiven for having sinned, the meat of those animals must not be eaten. The meat must be completely burned.”
Ne wotsɔ vɔsalã la ƒe ʋu aɖe yi Agbadɔ la me, be woalé avu le Kɔkɔeƒe la la, ekema nunɔlawo mekpɔ mɔ aɖu vɔsalã la o. Woatɔ dzo lã blibo la le Yehowa ŋkume.
