Leviticus 1
1 While Moses/I was [standing near the entrance] to the Sacred Tent, Yahweh called to him/me from inside the tent. He said to Moses/me,
Afei, Awurade kasa firii Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no mu kyerɛɛ Mose sɛ,
2 “Tell this to the Israeli people: ‘When any of you brings an offering to Yahweh, bring one of your sheep or goats or cattle.
“Kyerɛ Israelfoɔ no sɛ, ‘sɛ morebɔ Awurade afɔdeɛ a, momfa mo anantwie ne mo nnwan no bi na mommɔ saa afɔdeɛ no.
3 ‘If what you are offering is a bull that will be completely burned [on the altar], it must not have any defects. You must take it to the entrance to the Sacred Tent, in order that it will be acceptable to Yahweh.
“‘Sɛ mo afɔrebɔdeɛ a mode rebɛbɔ ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ no yɛ nantwie a ɔfiri mo nantwibuo mu a, momfa nantwie a ɔnnii dɛm na mommɔ saa afɔdeɛ no sɛdeɛ ɛbɛsɔ Awurade ani. Fa aboa no kɔ Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no ɛpono ano na ɛhɔ na asɔfoɔ no bɛgye wʼayɛyɛdeɛ a wode rebrɛ Awurade no.
4 You must lay your hands on the head of the bull. When you do that, Yahweh will accept [its death in your place] to forgive/pardon you for the sins that you have committed.
Ɛsɛ sɛ onipa a ɔde aboa no reba no de ne nsa gu aboa no tiri so sɛ mpatadeɛ ma afɔrebɔni no. Onyankopɔn bɛpɛ aboa no wuo sene sɛ afɔrebɔni a ɔde saa aboa no bɛba no bɛwu sɛ ne bɔne so akatua.
5 You must slaughter the bull in front of Yahweh. Then Aaron’s sons, who are priests, will bring the blood and sprinkle it against all sides of the altar near the entrance to the Sacred Tent.
Afɔrebɔni no bɛkum aboa no wɔ hɔ wɔ Awurade anim. Na Aaron mmammarima asɔfoɔ no asɔ aboa no mogya de akyerɛ Awurade. Na wɔde mogya no apete afɔrebukyia a ɛsi Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no kwan no ano no ne ɛho nyinaa.
6 You must remove the skin of the animal and cut the animal into pieces. You must wash the inner parts and the legs of the bull.
Afei, asɔfoɔ no bɛpa aboa no ho nhoma na wɔabobɔ.
7 Then Aaron’s sons will put wood on the altar and light a fire.
Na ɔsɔfoɔ Aaron mmammarima no bɛsɔ ogya wɔ afɔrebukyia no so.
8 Then they will arrange the pieces, including the head and the fat, on the burning wood.
Na wɔde aboa no afaafa bi ne ne ti ne ne sradeɛ agu nnyensin no so.
9 Then one of the priests will completely burn all of it on the altar. And the aroma will be pleasing to Yahweh.
Wɔnhohoro nʼayamdeɛ ne ne nan ho na asɔfoɔ no nhye no wɔ afɔrebukyia no so na ayɛ ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ a ɛsɔ Awurade ani.
10 ‘If you are offering a sheep or a goat, it must be a male without any defect.
“‘Sɛ aboa a wɔde no rebɔ ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ no yɛ odwan anaa abirekyie a, ɛsɛ sɛ ɔyɛ onini a ne ho nni dɛm biara.
11 You must slaughter it in front of Yahweh, on the north side of the altar, [and drain all the blood into a bowl]. Then Aaron’s sons will sprinkle the blood against all sides of the altar.
Onipa a ɔde no baeɛ no bɛkum no Awurade anim wɔ afɔrebukyia no atifi na Aaron mmammarima asɔfoɔ no apete mogya no agu afɔrebukyia no so ne ɛho nyinaa.
12 You must cut the animal into pieces. You must wash the inner parts and the legs of the animal. Then the priests will arrange the pieces, including the head and the fat, on the burning wood.
Ɔbɛhyehyɛ ɛnam no na asɔfoɔ no de nʼasinasini no ne botire no ne ne sradeɛ no agu nnyensin a ɛgu afɔrebukyia no so no so.
13 Then one of the priests will take all of it and completely burn all of it on the altar. And the aroma as it burns will be pleasing to Yahweh.
Wɔde nsuo bɛhohoro nʼayamdeɛ ne ne nan no ho ansa na asɔfoɔ no ahye no afɔrebukyia no so de ama Awurade; ɛfiri sɛ, ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ sɔ Awurade ani.
14 ‘If what you are offering to Yahweh is a bird, you must offer a dove or a young pigeon.
“‘Sɛ obi pɛ sɛ ɔde anomaa bɔ ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ a, ɔmfa nturukuku anaa mmorɔnoma mma.
15 The priest will take it to the altar and wring/twist off its head. Then he will burn the head on the altar. He will drain out the bird’s blood onto the side of the altar.
Ɔsɔfoɔ no bɛfa anomaa no de no akɔ afɔrebukyia no so na wate ne ti ahye no, na ne mogya no, ɔbɛsɔne agu afɔrebukyia no nkyɛn.
16 Then he will remove the bird’s (craw/food-grinding pouch) and what is inside it, and throw it on the east side of the altar, where the ashes are thrown.
Afei, ɔsɔfoɔ no bɛyi ne mene ase, atutu ne ntakra no na wato agu nsõ no mu wɔ afɔrebukyia no apueeɛ fam.
17 Then he will grasp the bird’s wings and partially tear the bird open. Then he will burn it completely in the fire on the altar. And the aroma will be pleasing to Yahweh.’
Afei, ɔbɛtwe nʼatabu mu ama emu ntini no atete asensɛn hɔ. Na ɔsɔfoɔ no ahye no wɔ afɔrebukyia no so na Awurade de anigyeɛ bɛgye saa afɔrebɔ yi.
