Leviticus 8
1 Yahweh also said to Moses/me,
Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose sɛ,
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 mmammarima bra Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no kwan no ano. Wɔmfa wɔn ntadeɛ, ɔsra ngo, nantwie ba a wɔde no bɛbɔ bɔne afɔdeɛ, nnwennini mmienu ne burodo a mmɔreka nni mu nkɛntɛmma mmienu
3 Then gather all the people at the entrance to the Sacred Tent.”
na frɛ Israelfoɔ no nyinaa na wɔmmra hɔ bi.”
4 Moses/I did what Yahweh told him/me to do, and all the people gathered there.
Enti nnipa no nyinaa hyiaeɛ wɔ Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no kwan ano.
5 Then Moses/I said to the people, “This is what Yahweh has commanded us to do.”
Mose ka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Adeɛ a merebɛyɛ yi, Awurade na wahyɛ me sɛ menyɛ.”
6 Then he/I brought Aaron and his sons forward and washed them.
Afei, ɔfaa Aaron ne ne mmammarima de nsuo 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.
de Aaron atadeɛ sononko a ne mmeamu ka ho de ne batakari a asɔfotadeɛ a wɔde tam a ɛyɛ fɛ ayɛ nʼabɔwomu 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 adaaboɔ fam Aaron bo de Urim ne Tumim 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 abotire a ɛwɔ sika abɔnimu kronkron sɛdeɛ 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 Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no ankasa ne biribiara a ɛwɔ mu ho de tee 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.
Ɔduruu afɔrebukyia no so no, ɔpetee so mprɛnson. Afei, ɔpetee nkukuo a ɛwɔ afɔrebukyia no so no ne atam ne ne ntaamu ho de tee ho.
12 He/I poured some of the oil on Aaron’s head and anointed him to dedicate him to Yahweh.
Afei, ɔhwiee ɔsra ngo no guu Aaron tirim de tee ne ho sɛ ɔnhyɛ 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.
Deɛ ɛdi hɔ ne sɛ, Mose de mmatakari no hyehyɛɛ Aaron mmammarima a abɔwomu ne ɛkyɛ ka ho sɛdeɛ 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 afɔdeɛ. Aaron ne ne mmammarima 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.
ma Mose kumm no. Ɔde ne nsateaa baako bɔɔ ne mogya mu de yɛɛ afɔrebukyia mmɛn nan no ho ne afɔrebukyia no ankasa ho de tee ho, ɛnna ɔhwiee mogya no nkaeɛ no guu afɔrebukyia no ase de tee ho sɛ mpatadeɛ.
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 nʼayamdeɛ ho sradeɛ ne ne berɛboɔ ho sradeɛ ne ne sawa mmienu no ne ɛho sradeɛ hyee ne nyinaa wɔ afɔrebukyia 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.
Wɔhyee nantwinini ba no ne ne nhoma ne nʼagyanan wɔ sraban no akyi sɛdeɛ 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 maa Awurade sɛ ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ. Aaron ne ne mmammarima 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 kumm no de ne mogya no bi petee afɔrebukyia 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.
Afei, ɔbobɔɔ odwennini no nam na ɔhyee asinasini no a ne ti ne ne sradeɛ ka ho.
Na ɔde nsuo hohoroo nʼayamdeɛ ne ne nan no ho hyee no wɔ afɔrebukyia no so maa ne nyinaa hyee pasaa wɔ Awurade anim. Ɛyɛ ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ a ɛsɔɔ Awurade ani yie, ɛfiri sɛ, Mose dii Awurade akwankyerɛ no nyinaa so pɛpɛɛpɛ.
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 ahoteɛ dwennini baeɛ. Aaron ne ne mmammarima 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 kumm no na ɔde mogya no bi kaa Aaron aso nifa ase ne ne nsa nifa kokurobetie ne ne nan nifa kokurobetie.
Ɔde mogya no bi yɛɛ Aaron mmammarima no nso aso nifa ase ne wɔn nsa nifa kokurobetie ne wɔn nan nifa kokurobetie. Ɔde mogya no nkaeɛ petee afɔrebukyia 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 sradeɛ no, ne dua, ne ne mu sradeɛ, ne berɛboɔ kotokuo, ne sawa mmienu no ne ɛho sradeɛ ne nʼabati nifa
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].
ɛnna ɔde saa burodo ntrawa a mmɔreka nni mu no baako nso ne burodo ntrawa no baako a wɔde ngo agu so ne burodo ntrawa baako a wɔfaa ne nyinaa firii kɛntɛn a wɔde bɛsii hɔ wɔ Awurade anim no mu guguu yeinom nyinaa so.
Wɔde yeinom nyinaa hyɛɛ Aaron ne ne mmammarima nsa sɛ wɔnhim no afɔrebukyia no anim sɛ ɔhim afɔrebɔ mma Awurade.
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 firii wɔn nsam hyee no wɔ afɔrebukyia no so de maa Awurade; na afɔrebɔ no sɔɔ Awurade ani.
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 faa ne yan no hinhim no Awurade anim; yei ne Mose kyɛfa wɔ ahoteɛ odwennini no mu sɛdeɛ Awurade ka kyerɛɛ 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 afɔrebukyia no so no bi de petee Aaron ne ne mmammarima ntadeɛ mu de tee Aaron ne ne mmammarima ne wɔn ntadeɛ ho maa Awurade dwumadie.
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 mmammarima no sɛ, “Monnoa ɛnam no wɔ Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no kwan ano na momfa nni burodo a ɛwɔ kɛntɛn a asɔfohyɛ afɔrebɔdeɛ wɔ mu no sɛdeɛ meka kyerɛɛ mo no.
32 Burn up any of the meat and bread that remains.
Ɛnam ne burodo biara a ɛbɛka no, monhye.
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 sɛ wɔntena Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no ano nnanson, mfa nwie asɔfohyɛ dwumadie no.
34 What we have done today is what Yahweh commanded to cause that you will be forgiven for your sins.
Mose kaa bio sɛ, deɛ ɔyɛɛ no ɛda 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.”
Ɔsane hyɛɛ Aaron ne ne mmammarima no sɛ wɔntena Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no ano anadwo ne awia nnanson. Ɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, ‘Sɛ mofiri hɔ a, mobɛwuwu. Yei 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 mmammarima dii nsɛm a Awurade nam Mose so hyɛɛ wɔn sɛ wɔnyɛ no nyinaa so.
