Leviticus 8
1 Yahweh also said to Moses/me,
Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose se,
2 “Bring Aaron and his sons, and bring their (special clothes/clothes [that they will wear while they do the work of priests)], the oil for anointing them, the bull to be offered to cause them to become forgiven for the sins they have committed, the two rams [to be slaughtered], and the basket containing bread made without yeast.
“Afei fa Aaron ne ne mmabarima bra Ahyiae Ntamadan no kwan no ano. Wɔmfa wɔn ntade, ɔsra ngo, nantwi ba a wɔde no bɛbɔ bɔne ho afɔre, adwennini abien ne brodo a mmɔkaw nni mu nkɛntɛn abien
3 Then gather all the people at the entrance to the Sacred Tent.”
na frɛ Israelfo no nyinaa na wɔmmra hɔ bi.”
4 Moses/I did what Yahweh told him/me to do, and all the people gathered there.
Mose yɛɛ sɛnea Awurade hyɛɛ no no, na wohyiaa wɔ Ahyiae Ntamadan kwan no ano.
5 Then Moses/I said to the people, “This is what Yahweh has commanded us to do.”
Mose ka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Ade a merebɛyɛ yi, Awurade na wahyɛ me sɛ menyɛ.”
6 Then he/I brought Aaron and his sons forward and washed them.
Afei, Mose de Aaron ne ne mmabarima no baa anim, na ɔde nsu hohoroo wɔn ho.
7 He/I put the special tunic/shirt on Aaron, tied the sash/waistband around him, put on him the special robe, and put on him the sacred vest/apron. He/I fastened the sacred vest/apron around him, using the skillfully woven sash.
Ɔde Aaron atade sononko bi a ne mmeamu ka ho ne batakari a asɔfotade a wɔde tam a ɛyɛ fɛ ayɛ nʼabɔso hyɛɛ no.
8 He/I put the sacred pouch on his chest and put into it the two stones for him to use to find out what God wants.
Afei, Mose de adɛbo fam Aaron bo de Urim ne Tumim a ase ne hann ne pɛyɛ no hyɛɛ mu.
9 Then he/I wrapped the turban around Aaron’s head, and fastened on the front of it the gold ornament, the object that showed that he was dedicated to God, like Yahweh had commanded Moses/me.
Ɔbɔɔ Aaron abotiri kɛse bi a ɛwɔ sika abɔanim sɛnea Awurade hyɛɛ no sɛ ɔnyɛ no ara pɛ.
10 Then Moses/I took the olive oil and anointed the sacred tent and everything in it, and dedicated them [to Yahweh].
Afei, Mose faa ɔsra ngo no de bi petee Ahyiae Ntamadan no ankasa ne biribiara a ɛwɔ mu ho de tew ne nyinaa ho.
11 He/I sprinkled some of the oil on the altar seven times. He/I anointed the altar and all the things used with it, and its huge washbasin and its stand, to dedicate them to Yahweh.
Ɔpetee afɔremuka no so mpɛn ason. Afei, ɔpetee nkuku a ɛwɔ afɔremuka no so no ne hweaseammɔ ne ne ntaamu ho de tew ho.
12 He/I poured some of the oil on Aaron’s head and anointed him to dedicate him to Yahweh.
Afei, ohwiee ɔsra ngo no guu Aaron tirim de tew ne ho sɛ omfiti nʼadwuma ase.
13 Then he/I brought forward Aaron’s sons. He/I put tunics/shirts on them, tied sashes/waistbands around them, and wrapped turbans around their heads, like Yahweh had commanded Moses/me.
Nea edi hɔ ne sɛ, Mose de batakari hyehyɛɛ Aaron mmabarima a nkyekyeremu ne kyɛw ka ho, sɛnea Awurade hyɛɛ no sɛ ɔnyɛ no.
14 Then he/I brought the bull for the offering to cause people to be forgiven for the sins that have committed. Then Aaron and his sons put their hands on the bull’s head.
Afei, ɔfaa nantwinini ba sɛ ɔde no rekɔbɔ bɔne ho afɔre. Aaron ne ne mmabarima de wɔn nsa guu aboa no apampam.
15 Then Moses/I slaughtered the bull, [caught some of its blood in a bowl], and with his/my finger put some of that blood on the projections at the corners of the altar, to purify the altar. He/I poured the rest of the blood at the base of the altar. By doing that, he/I caused it to be a suitable place for burning sacrifices for sin.
Mose kum no. Ɔde ne nsateaa baako bɔɔ ne mogya mu de yɛɛ afɔremuka mmɛn nan no ho ne afɔremuka no ankasa ho de tew ho, na ohwiee mogya no nkae no guu afɔremuka no ase de tew ho sɛ mpata.
16 Moses/I took all the fat that covers the inner parts of the animal, including the liver and kidneys, and burned them on the altar.
Ɔfaa nʼayamde ho srade ne ne mmerɛbo ho srade ne nʼasaabo abien no ne ɛho srade hyew ne nyinaa wɔ afɔremuka no so.
17 He/I took the rest of the bull, including the hide and intestines, and burned them outside the camp, like Yahweh had commanded Moses/me.
Nanso ɔhyew nantwinini ba no ne ne nwoma ne ne nsono wɔ nsraban no akyi sɛnea Awurade hyɛɛ Mose no.
18 Then he/I brought the ram for the offering that would be completely burned [on the altar], and Aaron and his sons laid their hands on its head.
Afei, ɔde odwennini no maa Awurade sɛ ɔhyew afɔre. Aaron ne ne mmabarima de wɔn nsa guu aboa no apampam.
19 Then Moses/I slaughtered the ram and sprinkled its blood on all sides of the altar.
Na Mose kum no de ne mogya no bi petee afɔremuka no ho nyinaa.
20 He/I cut the ram into pieces and washed the inner parts and hind legs. Then he/I put the head, the fat, and the other parts of the ram on the altar. As it burned, the aroma of the smoke was pleasing to Yahweh. It was an offering to Yahweh that was burned, as Yahweh had commanded Moses/me.
Otwitwaa odwennini no nam na ɔhyew asinasin no a ne ti ne ne srade ka ho.
Na ɔde nsu hohoroo nʼayamde ne nʼanan no ho hyew no wɔ afɔremuka no so maa ne nyinaa hyew dwerɛbee. Na ɛyɛ ɔhyew afɔre, ehua a ɛsɔ ani, aduan afɔre a wɔbɔ maa Awurade, sɛnea Awurade hyɛɛ Mose no.
22 Then he/I brought the other ram, the one for consecrating the priests, and Aaron and his sons laid their hands on its head.
Afei, Mose de odwennini baako a ɔyɛ asɔfohyɛ dwennini no bae. Aaron ne ne mmabarima de wɔn nsa guu nʼapampam.
23 Moses/I slaughtered that ram, [drained some of its blood in a bowl], and put some of that blood on the lobes of the right ears, the thumbs of the right hands, and the big toes of the right feet of Aaron and his sons [to indicate that what they listened to and what they did and where they went should be directed by Yahweh].
Mose kum no na ɔde mogya no bi kaa Aaron aso nifa ase ne ne nsa nifa kokurobeti ne ne nan nifa kokurobeti.
Ɔde mogya no bi yɛɛ Aaron mmabarima no nso aso nifa ase ne wɔn nsa nifa kokurobeti ne wɔn anan nifa kokurobeti. Ɔde mogya no nkae petee afɔremuka no ho nyinaa.
25 He/I picked up all the fat of the ram, its fat tail, the fat that covered the inner parts, including the fat that covered the liver and kidneys, and the right thigh of the ram.
Afei, ɔfaa srade no, ne dua, ne ne mu srade, ne bɔnwoma kotoku, nʼasaabo abien no ne ɛho srade ne ne srɛ nifa no.
26 Then from the basket containing the bread that was made without yeast, the bread which had been dedicated to Yahweh, he/I picked up one loaf of bread [made without olive oil], and one loaf that was [made by mixing the flour] with olive oil, and one wafer. He/I put those on top of the portions of fat, and put them into the hands of Aaron and his sons. Then they lifted them up in the presence of Yahweh [to indicate that it was an offering that belonged to him].
Na ɔde saa brodo ntrantraa a mmɔkaw nni mu no baako nso ne brodo ntrantraa no baako a wɔde ngo agu so ne brodo ntrantraa baako a wɔfaa ne nyinaa fii kɛntɛn a wɔde besii hɔ wɔ Awurade anim no mu guguu eyinom nyinaa so.
Wɔde eyinom nyinaa hyɛɛ Aaron ne ne mmabarima nsa na wonhim no wɔ Awurade anim sɛ ohim afɔrebɔ.
28 Then Moses/I took those things from their hands and burned them on the altar. That was the offering that was burned to appoint Aaron and his sons as priests. And the aroma while it burned was pleasing to Yahweh.
Mose gyee ne nyinaa fii wɔn nsam hyew no wɔ afɔremuka no so wɔ ɔhyew afɔre no so sɛ asɔfohyɛ afɔrebɔ, ehua a ɛsɔ ani, aduan afɔre a wɔbɔ ma Awurade.
29 Moses/I also took the breast of the second ram and lifted it up, as Yahweh had commanded. The breast was Moses’/my share of the ram that was sacrificed to dedicate the priests.
Afei Mose nso faa ne yan no a na ɛyɛ ne kyɛfa wɔ asɔfohyɛ dwennini nam no mu no hinhim wɔ Awurade anim sɛ ohim afɔrebɔ, sɛnea Awurade hyɛɛ no sɛ ɔnyɛ no.
30 Then Moses/I took some of the olive oil for anointing [Aaron and his sons], and some of the blood that was on the altar and sprinkled it on Aaron and his sons and on their clothes. By doing that, he/I consecrated Aaron and his sons and their clothes.
Afei ɔfaa ɔsra ngo no ne mogya a ɔde apete afɔremuka no so no bi de petee Aaron ne ne mmabarima ntade mu de tew Aaron ne ne mmabarima ne wɔn ntade ho maa Awurade dwumadi.
31 Then Moses/I said to Aaron and his sons, “Boil the meat [of the second ram] at the entrance of the Sacred Tent, and eat it there with the bread that is in the basket, like I told you to do.
Mose ka kyerɛɛ Aaron ne ne mmabarima no se, “Monnoa nam no wɔ Ahyiae Ntamadan no kwan ano na momfa nni brodo a ɛwɔ kɛntɛn a asɔfohyɛ afɔrebɔde wɔ mu no sɛnea meka kyerɛɛ mo no.
32 Burn up any of the meat and bread that remains.
Nam ne brodo biara a ɛbɛka no, monhyew.
33 The time for you to be set apart as priests will be seven days, so do not leave the entrance of the Sacred Tent for seven days.
Bio, ɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn se wɔntena Ahyiae Ntamadan no ano nnanson, mfa nwie asɔfohyɛ dwumadi no.
34 What we have done today is what Yahweh commanded to cause that you will be forgiven for your sins.
Mose kaa bio se nea ɔyɛɛ no da no nyinaa no, Awurade na ɔhyɛɛ no sɛ ɔnyɛ mfa nyɛ mpata mma wɔn.
35 You must stay at the entrance of the Sacred Tent for seven days and seven nights and do what Yahweh requires, in order that you will not die [because of disobeying him. I am telling you that] because that is what Yahweh has commanded me to tell you.”
Ɔsan hyɛɛ Aaron ne ne mmabarima no sɛ wɔntena Ahyiae Ntamadan no ano anadwo ne awia nnanson. Ɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, ‘Sɛ mufi hɔ a, mubewuwu. Eyi ne asɛm a Awurade aka.’”
36 So Aaron and his sons did everything that Yahweh told Moses/me to tell them.
Enti Aaron ne ne mmabarima dii nsɛm a Awurade nam Mose so hyɛɛ wɔn sɛ wɔnyɛ no nyinaa so.
