Exodus 30
1 You must make an altar to burn incense. You must make it with acacia wood.
“Tsɔ akasiati wɔ vɔsamlekpui aɖe si dzi woado dzudzɔ ʋeʋĩ ɖo.
2 Its length must be one cubit, and its width one cubit. It must be square, and its height must be two cubits. Its horns must be made as one piece with it.
Na eƒe didime kple kekeme siaa nanɔ sentimita blaene-vɔ-atɔ̃, eye wòakɔ sentimita blaasiekɛ. Tsɔ akasiati ke kpa lãdzowo ɖe vɔsamlekpui la ŋu woanye nu ɖeka.
3 You must cover the incense altar with pure gold—its top, its sides, and its horns. You must make a surrounding border of gold for it.
Fa sika nyuitɔ ɖe vɔsamlekpui la tame kple eƒe axadziwo kple lãdzoawo ŋu, eye nàgatsɔ sika nyuitɔ aɖo atsyɔ̃ na vɔsamlekpui la ƒe towo katã.
4 You must make two golden rings to be attached to it under its border on its two opposite sides. The rings must be holders for poles to carry the altar.
Wɔ sikagagɔdɔ̃e eve ɖe atsyɔ̃ɖonu la te, ɖe eƒe axa eveawo, be woatsɔ vɔsamlekpui la kɔtiwo aƒo ɖe wo me.
5 You must make the poles of acacia wood, and you must cover them with gold.
Woawɔ vɔsamlekpui la kɔtiwo kple akasiati, eye woafa sika ɖe wo ŋu.
6 You must put the incense altar before the curtain that is by the ark of the testimony. It will be before the atonement lid that is over the ark of the testimony, where I will meet with you.
Tsɔ vɔsamlekpui la da ɖe xɔmetsovɔ la ŋgɔ, wòate ɖe amenuveve ƒe nutsyɔnu si nye nubablaɖaka si me Se Ewoawo le la kasa, afi si mado go wò le.
7 Aaron must burn fragrant incense every morning. He must burn it when he tends the lamps,
“Ŋdi sia ŋdi la, Aron ado dzudzɔ kple atike ʋeʋĩ le vɔsamlekpui la dzi, ne ebɔbɔ akaɖigbɛawo ɖe eme.
8 and Aaron lights the lamps again in the evening so incense will burn on it regularly before Yahweh, throughout your generations.
Fiẽ sia fiẽ la, Aron agado dzudzɔ kple lifi le Yehowa ŋkume, ne esi akaɖiawo. Nu sia ayi edzi tso dzidzime yi dzidzime.
9 But you must offer no other incense on the incense altar, nor any burnt offering or grain offering. You must pour no drink offering on it.
Mègawɔ dzudzɔdovɔsa, numevɔsa, nuɖuvɔsa alo nunovɔsa bubu aɖeke si ŋu nyemeɖe mɔ le o.
10 Aaron must make atonement on its horns once a year. With the blood of the sin offering he will make atonement for it once a year throughout your generations. It is completely set apart to Yahweh.”
“Zi ɖeka le ƒe ɖe sia ɖe me la, Aron awɔ avulévɔsa na eƒe lãdzoawo. Woawɔ ƒe sia ƒe ƒe avulévɔsa kple nu vɔ̃ ƒe avulévɔsalã ƒe ʋu le dzidzimewo katã me. Enye nu kɔkɔetɔ kekeake na Yehowa.”
11 Then Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
Yehowa gblɔ na Mose be,
12 “When you take a census of the Israelites, then each person must give a ransom for his life to Yahweh. You must do this after you count them, so that there will be no plague among them when you count them.
“Ɣe sia ɣi si nàxlẽ Israelviwo la, ele be ame sia ame si woaxlẽ la, naxe fe na Yehowa ɖe eƒe agbe ta, ale be dɔvɔ̃ manɔ ameawo dome ne èle wo xlẽm o.
13 Everyone who is counted in the census is to pay half a shekel of silver, according to the weight of the shekel of the sanctuary (a shekel is the same as twenty gerahs). This half shekel will be an offering to Yahweh.
Ga si ame sia ame si woxlẽ naxe la nye klosalo gram ade. Ke nu si woaxe la aku ɖe kɔkɔeƒe ga home si woabia tso wo si le ƒe ma me la ŋu. Woadzɔ nu sia na Yehowa.
14 Everyone who is counted, from twenty years old and up, must give this offering to me.
Ame sia ame si wotia, eye wòxɔ ƒe blaeve alo wu nenema la nadzɔ nu na Yehowa.
15 When the people give this offering to me to make atonement for their lives, the rich must not give more than the half shekel, and the poor must not give less.
Hotsuitɔwo maxe fe sia wòawu home si meyɔ o, eye ame dahewo hã mana nu wòanɔ sue wu o, elabena vɔsae wònye na Yehowa hena miaƒe nu vɔ̃wo ƒe tsɔtsɔke.
16 You must receive this atonement money from the Israelites and you must allocate it to the work of the tent of meeting. It must be a reminder to the Israelites before me, to make atonement for your lives.”
“Wɔ ga sia ŋu dɔ hena agbadɔ la dzadzraɖo. Eyae aɖo ŋku Israelviwo dzi na Yehowa, eye wòanye avulénu ɖe mia ta.”
17 Then Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
Eye Yehowa gblɔ na Mose be,
18 “You must also make a large bronze basin with a bronze stand, a basin for washing. You must put it between the tent of meeting and the altar, and you must put water in it.
“Tsɔ akɔbli wɔ gagbɛ aɖe kple eƒe zɔ hena ŋutikɔklɔ. Tsɔe da ɖe agbadɔ la kple vɔsamlekpui la dome, eye nàkɔ tsi ɖe eme.
19 Aaron and his sons must wash their hands and their feet with the water in it.
Na Aron kple via ŋutsuwo naklɔ asi kple afɔ le afi sia,
20 When they go into the tent of meeting or when they go near to the altar to serve me by burning an offering, they must wash with water so that they do not die.
ne woyina agbadɔ la me be woado ɖe Yehowa ŋkume alo hafi woate ɖe vɔsamlekpui la ŋu be woasa vɔ na Yehowa. Ele be woaklɔ asi kple afɔ hafi awɔ nu siawo, ne menye nenema o la, woaku.
21 They must wash their hands and feet so that they do not die. This must be a permanent law for Aaron and his descendants throughout their people's generations.”
Esiawoe nye ɖoɖowo na Aron kple via ŋutsuwo tso dzidzime yi dzidzime.”
22 Then Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
Yehowa gblɔ na Mose be,
23 “Take these fine spices: five hundred shekels of flowing myrrh, 250 shekels of sweet-smelling cinnamon, 250 shekels of sweet-smelling cane,
“Ƒo atike ʋeʋĩ nyuitɔwo nu ƒu ale: ‘Mira’ nyuitɔ kilogram ade, ‘sinamon’ kilogram etɔ̃, atike ʋeʋĩ kilogram etɔ̃,
24 five hundred shekels of cassia, measured by the weight of the shekel of the sanctuary, and one hin of olive oil.
‘akasea’ kilogram ade kple ami lita ene le kɔkɔeƒe la ƒe dzidzenu nu.
25 You must make holy anointing oil with these ingredients, the work of a perfumer. It will be a holy anointing oil, reserved for me.
Yehowa gblɔ na amiʋeʋĩwɔla xɔŋkɔwo be woatsɔ atike siawo awɔ amisisi kɔkɔe lae. Anye dzudzɔdonu kɔkɔe abe ale si amiʋeʋĩwɔla nyuitɔwo wɔnɛ ene.”
26 You must anoint the tent of meeting with this oil, as well as the ark of the testimony,
Yehowa gblɔ be, “Si ami sia na agbadɔ la, nubablaɖaka la,
27 the table and all its utensils, the lampstand and its equipment, the incense altar,
kplɔ̃ la kple eŋunuwo, akaɖiti la kple eŋunuwo, dzudzɔdovɔsamlekpui la,
28 the altar for burnt offerings with all its equipment, and the basin with its stand.
numevɔsamlekpui la kple eŋunuwo kple asiklɔgagbɛ la kple eƒe afɔ.
29 You must set them apart to me so that they may be holy to me. Anything that touches them will also be holy.
Kɔ wo ŋu woazu kɔkɔe; nu sia nu si aka wo ŋu la azu kɔkɔe na Mawu.
30 You must anoint Aaron and his sons and set them aside to me so that they may serve me as priests.
“Tsɔe si ami na Aron kple via ŋutsuwo, eye nàkɔ wo ŋu hena subɔsubɔdɔwo wɔwɔ nam abe nunɔlawo ene.
31 You must say to the Israelites, 'This must be an anointing oil that is set apart to Yahweh throughout your people's generations.
Gblɔ na Israelviwo be, ‘Ami sia anye ami kɔkɔe si miasi na amewo ɣe sia ɣi.
32 It must not be applied to people's skin, nor must you make any oil like it with the same formula, because it is set apart to Yahweh. You must regard it in this manner.
Womakɔe ɖe ame dzodzro aɖeke dzi o, eye ame aɖeke mawɔ etɔgbi na eɖokui o, elabena ami kɔkɔe wònye, eye ele be ame sia ame nabui ami kɔkɔe.
33 Whoever makes perfume like it, or whoever puts any of it on someone, that person must be cut off from his people.'”
Ele be woaɖe ame sia ame si awɔ etɔgbi alo atsɔe asi na ame aɖe si menye nunɔla o la le ha me.’”
34 Yahweh said to Moses, “Take spices—stacte, onycha, and galbanum—sweet spices along with pure frankincense, each in equal amounts.
Yehowa gblɔ na Mose be, “Tsɔ atike ʋeʋĩwo, lifi lãhe, onitsa, galbanum kple lifi nyuitɔ kpekpeme ma ke na ɖe sia ɖe,
35 Make it into the form of incense, blended by a perfumer, seasoned with salt, pure and set apart.
eye nàtsɔ wo awɔ dzudzɔdonu abe ale si dzudzɔdonuwɔlawo wɔnɛ ɣe sia ɣi ene pɛpɛpɛ. De dze sue aɖe eme, eye wòanye dzudzɔdonu kɔkɔe si dza.
36 You will grind it into a very fine mixture. Put part of it in front of the ark of the testimony, which is in the tent of meeting, where I will meet with you. You will regard it as very holy to me.
Tu eƒe ɖe memie eye nàtsɔ eƒe ɖe da ɖe nubablaɖaka la ŋgɔ, afi si medoa go wò le, le agbadɔ la me. Dzudzɔdonu sia le kɔkɔe.
37 As for this incense that you will make, you must not make any with the same formula for yourselves. It must be most holy to you.
Migawɔ etɔgbi na mia ɖokuiwo gbeɖegbeɖe o, elabena enye nu kɔkɔe na Yehowa ɖeɖe ko.
38 Whoever makes anything like it to use as a perfume must be cut off from his people.”
Ame si awɔ esia tɔgbi be eƒe ʋeʋẽ lĩlĩlĩ nado dzidzɔ nɛ la, ele be woaɖee ɖa le eƒe dukɔ la dome.”
