< Exodus 29 >
1 And this is the thing that thou shalt do to them to hallow them, to minister to me in the priest’s office: Take one young bull, and two rams without blemish,
“Wɔ nu siawo hena Aron kple via ŋutsuwo ŋuti kɔkɔ kple wo ɖoɖo nunɔlawoe. Lé nyitsu fɛ̃ ɖeka kple agbo eve siwo ŋu naneke megblẽ le o,
2 And unleavened bread, and cakes unleavened tempered with oil, and wafers unleavened anointed with oil: of wheat flour shalt thou make them.
eye nàtsɔ abolo si wowɔ kple amɔ maʋamaʋã, abolo vivi si woblu kple ami kple akpɔnɔ siwo dzi wokɔ ami ɖo. Woatsɔ wɔ memi awɔ aboloawo kple akpɔnɔawo.
3 And thou shalt put them into one basket, and bring them in the basket, with the bull and the two rams.
Tsɔ wo de kusi aɖe me, eye nàtsɔ kusi la, nyi la kple agbo aveawo vɛ.
4 And Aaron and his sons thou shalt bring to the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, and shalt wash them with water.
Le tsi na Aron kple via ŋutsuwo le agbadɔ la ƒe mɔnu.
5 And thou shalt take the garments, and put upon Aaron the coat, and the robe of the ephod, and the ephod, and the breastplate, and gird him with the beautifully woven band of the ephod:
Do Aron ƒe dziwui, kɔmewu ʋlaya, kɔmewu la ŋutɔ kple akɔtatsyɔnu la nɛ, tsɔ alidziblanu si wolɔ̃ aɖaŋutɔe la bla ali dzi nɛ,
6 And thou shalt put the mitre upon his head, and put the holy crown upon the mitre.
eye nàtsɔ tablanu la kple sikaŋgoblanu kɔkɔe la ɖo ta nɛ.
7 Then shalt thou take the anointing oil, and pour it upon his head, and anoint him.
Tsɔ ami kɔkɔe la, eye nàsi ami ɖe ta nɛ.
8 And thou shalt bring his sons, and put coats upon them.
Yɔ via ŋutsuwo vɛ, eye nàtsɔ woƒe dziwuiwo ado na wo.
9 And thou shalt gird them with waistbands, Aaron and his sons, and put the headdresses on them: and the priest’s office shall be theirs for a perpetual statute: and thou shalt consecrate Aaron and his sons.
Bla ta na wo kple woƒe tablanuwo, tsɔ alidziblanu tso gae ɖe woƒe akɔta, ahablae ɖe axame na Aron kple via ŋutsuwo, ale be nunɔladɔ nanye wo tɔ tegbee. Aleae nàɖo Aron kple viawo nunɔlawoe.
10 And thou shalt cause a bull to be brought before the tabernacle of the congregation: and Aaron and his sons shall put their hands upon the head of the bull.
“Emegbe la, he nyitsu la va agbadɔ la ŋgɔ, eye nàna Aron kple via ŋutsuwo nada asi ɖe nyitsu la ƒe ta dzi.
11 And thou shalt kill the bull before the LORD, by the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.
Wui le Yehowa ŋkume le agbadɔ la ƒe mɔnu.
12 And thou shalt take of the blood of the bull, and put it upon the horns of the altar with thy finger, and pour all the blood beside the bottom of the altar.
Tsɔ wò asibidɛ de eƒe ʋu me, sisi ʋu la ɖe vɔsamlekpui la ƒe lãdzowo ŋu, eye nàkɔ ʋu mamlɛa katã ɖe vɔsamlekpui la te.
13 And thou shalt take all the fat that covereth the inwards, and the fat that is above the liver, and the two kidneys, and the fat that is upon them, and burn them upon the altar.
Emegbe nàɖe ami si le nyitsu la ƒe dɔmenuwo ŋu. Ɖe aklã kple ayiku eveawo kple ami si le wo ŋu, eye nàtɔ dzo wo le vɔsamlekpui la dzi.
14 But the flesh of the bull, and his skin, and his dung, shalt thou burn with fire outside the camp: it is a sin offering.
Esia megbe la, nàtɔ dzo lã blibo la kple eƒe ayi kple afɔdzi si le dɔ me nɛ la le asaɖa la godo abe nuvɔ̃ŋutivɔsa ene.
15 Thou shalt also take one ram; and Aaron and his sons shall put their hands upon the head of the ram.
“Emegbe la, Aron kple via ŋutsuwo nada asi ɖe agboawo dometɔ ɖeka ƒe ta dzi,
16 And thou shalt slay the ram, and thou shalt take his blood, and sprinkle it around upon the altar.
eye nàwui. Woaɖe eya hã ƒe ʋu ahlẽ ɖe vɔsamlekpui la ŋu kpe ɖo.
17 And thou shalt cut the ram in pieces, and wash the inwards of him, and his legs, and put them with his pieces, and with his head.
Fli agbo la, kpala lã la, eƒe dɔmenuwo kple eƒe afɔwo, eye nàtsɔ wo da ɖe eƒe ta kple lãkɔ bubuawo dzi.
18 And thou shalt burn the whole ram upon the altar: it is a burnt offering to the LORD: it is a sweet savour, an offering made by fire to the LORD.
Tɔ dzo lã blibo la ɖe vɔsamlekpui la dzi. Numevɔsae wònye na Yehowa, eye wòdzea eŋu ŋutɔ.
19 And thou shalt take the other ram; and Aaron and his sons shall put their hands upon the head of the ram.
“Azɔ la, he agbo evelia vɛ. Na Aron kple via ŋutsuwo nada asi ɖe eya hã ƒe ta dzi.
20 Then shalt thou kill the ram, and take of his blood, and put it upon the tip of the right ear of Aaron, and upon the tip of the right ear of his sons, and upon the thumb of their right hand, and upon the great toe of their right foot, and sprinkle the blood around upon the altar.
Wui eye nàɖe ʋu la asi ɖe Aron kple via ŋutsuwo ƒe nuɖusitowo, woƒe degblefetsu ɖusitɔwo kple woƒe nuɖusi ƒe afɔbidɛ gãtɔwo ŋu. Hlẽ ʋu mamlɛa ɖe vɔsamlekpui la ŋu kpe ɖo.
21 And thou shalt take of the blood that is upon the altar, and of the anointing oil, and sprinkle it upon Aaron, and upon his garments, and upon his sons, and upon the garments of his sons with him: and he shall be hallowed, and his garments, and his sons, and his sons’ garments with him.
Emegbe la, nàha ʋu la ƒe ɖe le vɔsamlekpui la ŋu, nàtsakae kple amisisi la, eye nàhlẽe ɖe Aron kple via ŋutsuawo ƒe awuwo ŋu. Ekema woawo ŋutɔwo kple woƒe awuwo ŋu akɔ na Yehowa.
22 Also thou shalt take of the ram the fat and the rump, and the fat that covereth the inwards, and the fat above the liver, and the two kidneys, and the fat that is upon them, and the right shoulder; for it is a ram of consecration:
“Azɔ ɖe agbo la ƒe ami kpe ɖe asike dami la, ami si le eƒe dɔmenuwo ŋu, nàɖe eƒe aklã kple ayiku eveawo kple ami si le wo ŋu kpe ɖe agbo la ƒe ɖusimeta ŋu. (Esiae nye agbo na Aron kple via ŋutsuwo ɖoɖo nunɔlawoe.)
23 And one loaf of bread, and one cake of oiled bread, and one wafer out of the basket of the unleavened bread that is before the LORD:
Tsɔ nu siawo kpe ɖe abolo bɔbɔe ɖeka kple abolo vivi ɖeka kple akpɔnɔ ɖeka ŋu tso kusi si me abolo si wowɔ kple amɔ maʋamaʋã si woda ɖe Yehowa ŋkume la me.
24 And thou shalt put all in the hands of Aaron, and in the hands of his sons; and shalt wave them for a wave offering before the LORD.
Tsɔ nu siawo de asi na Aron kple viawo. Na woanye wo le yame abe vɔsa na Yehowa ƒe dzesi ene.
25 And thou shalt receive them from their hands, and burn them upon the altar for a burnt offering, for a sweet savour before the LORD: it is an offering made by fire to the LORD.
Le esia yome la, xɔ nu siawo le wo si, eye nàtɔ dzo wo ɖe vɔsamlekpui la dzi abe numeme si ʋẽna lĩlĩlĩ ɖe Yehowa ene.
26 And thou shalt take the breast of the ram of Aaron’s consecration, and wave it for a wave offering before the LORD: and it shall be thy part.
Ɖe agbo si wòwu hena Aron ɖoɖo nunɔlae la ƒe akɔ. Nyee le yame le Yehowa ŋkume abe vɔsa ƒe dzesi ene. Akɔ sia nazu tɔwò.
27 And thou shalt sanctify the breast of the wave offering, and the shoulder of the heave offering, which is waved, and which is offered, from the ram of the consecration, even of that which is for Aaron, and of that which is for his sons:
“Tsɔ agbo si wowu hena Aron kple via ŋutsuwo ŋuti kɔkɔ la ƒe akɔta kple atawo na Aron kple via ŋutsuwo.
28 And it shall be Aaron’s and his sons’ by a statute for ever from the children of Israel: for it is an heave offering: and it shall be an heave offering from the children of Israel of the sacrifice of their peace offerings, even their heave offering to the LORD.
Ele be Israelviwo nadzɔ woƒe vɔsalãwo ƒe akpa siawo ɣe sia ɣi, nenye ŋutifafavɔsa loo alo akpedavɔsa abe woƒe vɔsa na Yehowa ene.
29 And the holy garments of Aaron shall be his sons’ after him, to be anointed in it, and to be consecrated in them.
“Ele be woadzra eƒe awu kɔkɔeawo ɖo hena Via ŋutsu si ava xɔ ɖe eteƒe la ŋuti kɔkɔ ne wole eŋuti kɔm tso dzidzime yi dzidzime.
30 And that son that is priest in his stead shall put them on seven days, when he cometh into the tabernacle of the congregation to minister in the holy place.
Ame sia ame si ava nye nunɔlagã le Aron megbe la ado awu siawo ŋkeke adre hafi ade asi subɔsubɔdɔwo wɔwɔ me le agbadɔ la me kple Kɔkɔeƒe la siaa.
31 And thou shalt take the ram of the consecration, and boil his flesh in the holy place.
“Tsɔ agbo si ŋu dɔ wowɔ le nunɔlawo ɖoɖo me, eye nàɖa eƒe lã le teƒe kɔkɔe aɖe.
32 And Aaron and his sons shall eat the flesh of the ram, and the bread that is in the basket, by the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.
Na Aron kple via ŋutsuwo naɖu lã la kple abolo si le kusi la me le agbadɔ la ƒe mɔnu.
33 And they shall eat those things by which the atonement was made, to consecrate and to sanctify them: but a stranger shall not eat of them, because they are holy.
Ale woaɖu nu si wotsɔ ɖe woƒe nu vɔ̃wo ɖae hafi ɖo wo nunɔlawoe hekɔ wo ŋuti. Ame bubu aɖeke mekpɔ mɔ aɖu wo o, elabena nu kɔkɔewo wonye.
34 And if any of the flesh of the consecration, or of the bread, shall remain till the morning, then thou shalt burn the remainder with fire: it shall not be eaten, because it is holy.
Nenye be agbo si wotsɔ ɖo wo nunɔlawoe la ƒe lã aɖe susɔ alo abolo la ƒe ɖe susɔ ŋu ke ɖe edzi la, tɔ dzoe. Mele be woaɖui o, elabena ele kɔkɔe.
35 And thus shalt thou do to Aaron, and to his sons, according to all things which I have commanded thee: seven days shalt thou consecrate them.
“Ale nàɖo Aron kple via ŋutsuwo nunɔlawo le mɔ sia nu. Wo ɖoɖo nanɔ edzi ŋkeke adre.
36 And thou shalt offer every day a bull for a sin offering for atonement: and thou shalt cleanse the altar, when thou hast made an atonement for it, and thou shalt anoint it, to sanctify it.
Ele be nàtsɔ nyitsu ɖeka awɔ nuvɔ̃ŋutivɔsa gbe sia gbe. Emegbe la, nàkɔ vɔsa la ŋu to nu vɔ̃ ɖeɖe ɖa le eŋu me. Kɔ ami ɖe edzi be eŋu nakɔ.
37 Seven days thou shalt make an atonement for the altar, and sanctify it; and it shall be an altar most holy: whatever toucheth the altar shall be holy.
Me avulénuwo le vɔsamlekpui la dzi gbe sia gbe ŋkeke adre be nàkɔ vɔsamlekpui la ŋu na Mawu. Le esia megbe la, vɔsamlekpui la azu kɔkɔe, nu sia nu si aka eŋu la hã azu kɔkɔe, eye ame siwo le kɔkɔe la koe aka asi eŋu.”
38 Now this is that which thou shalt offer upon the altar; two lambs of the first year day by day continually.
“Tsɔ alẽ eve sa vɔe ɖe vɔsamlekpui la dzi gbe sia gbe,
39 The one lamb thou shalt offer in the morning; and the other lamb thou shalt offer at evening:
ɖeka le ŋdi me, eye evelia le fiẽ me.
40 And with the one lamb a tenth portion of flour mixed with the fourth part of an hin of beaten oil; and the fourth part of an hin of wine for a drink offering.
Tsɔ wɔ memi kilogram ɖeka, ami lita ɖeka kple wain lita ɖeka kpe ɖe alẽ ɖeka ŋu.
41 And the other lamb thou shalt offer at evening, and shalt do to it according to the meat offering of the morning, and according to its drink offering, for a sweet savour, an offering made by fire to the LORD.
Tsɔ alẽ evelia kple wɔ memi la kple wain sa vɔe le fiẽ me abe ale si nèwɔ le ŋdi me ene, wòanye vɔsa si ʋẽna lĩlĩlĩ na Yehowa.
42 This shall be a continual burnt offering throughout your generations at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation before the LORD: where I will meet you, to speak there to thee.
“Esiae nye numevɔsa si miawo kple miaƒe dzidzimeviwo miawɔ gbe sia gbe na Yehowa le agbadɔ la ƒe mɔnu. Mado go wò le afi ma, eye maƒo nu kpli wò.
43 And there I will meet with the children of Israel, and the tabernacle shall be sanctified by my glory.
Mado go Israelviwo le afi ma, eye nye ŋutikɔkɔe akɔ agbadɔ la ŋu.
44 And I will sanctify the tabernacle of the congregation, and the altar: I will sanctify also both Aaron and his sons, to minister to me in the priest’s office.
Ɛ̃, makɔ agbadɔ la, vɔsamlekpui la, Aron kple via ŋutsuwo, ame siwo nye subɔlawo kple nunɔlawo la ŋu.
45 And I will dwell among the children of Israel, and will be their God.
Manɔ Israelviwo dome, manye woƒe Mawu,
46 And they shall know that I am the LORD their God, that brought them forth out of the land of Egypt, that I may dwell among them: I am the LORD their God.
