Leviticus 1
1 And the LORD called to Moses, and spoke to him out of the tabernacle of the congregation, saying,
Azɔ la, Yehowa ƒo nu na Mose tso Mawu ƒe agbadɔ la me hegblɔ be,
2 Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them, If any man of you shall bring an offering to the LORD, ye shall bring your offering of the cattle, [even] of the herd, and of the flock.
“Ƒo nu na Israelviwo eye nàgblɔ na wo be, ‘Ne mia dometɔ aɖe atsɔ nunana vɛ na Yehowa la, netsɔ nyi alo alẽ vɛ abe eƒe nunana ene.
3 If his offering shall [be] a burnt-sacrifice of the herd, let him offer a male without blemish: he shall offer it of his own voluntary will at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation before the LORD.
“‘Ne nunana la anye numevɔsa tso lãhawo dome la, ele be wòana lãtsu si ŋuti kpɔtsɔtsɔ mele o. Ele be wòanae le agbadɔ la ƒe mɔnu ale be wòadze Yehowa ŋu.
4 And he shall put his hand upon the head of the burnt-offering; and it shall be accepted for him to make atonement for him.
Ele be wòatsɔ eƒe asi ada ɖe numevɔsa la ƒe ta dzi, eye woaxɔ numevɔsa la ɖe vɔsalã la teƒe be wòalé avu ɖe enu.
5 And he shall kill the bullock before the LORD: and the priests, Aaron's sons, shall bring the blood, and sprinkle the blood around upon the altar that [is by] the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.
Ekema amea awu nyitsuvi la le afi ma le Yehowa ŋkume. Aron ƒe viŋutsuwo, ame siwo nye nunɔlawo la atsɔ ʋu la ahlẽ ɖe vɔsamlekpui si le agbadɔ la ƒe mɔnu la ƒe axawo katã ŋu.
6 And he shall flay the burnt-offering, and cut it into its pieces,
Ele nɛ be wòako numevɔsalã la eye wòaflii.
7 And the sons of Aaron the priest shall put fire upon the altar, and lay the wood in order upon the fire.
Aron ƒe viŋutsu siwo nye nunɔlawo la ado dzo ɖe vɔsamlekpui la dzi, eye woaɖo nake ɖe dzo la dzi.
8 And the priests, Aaron's sons, shall lay the parts, the head, and the fat, in order upon the wood that [is] on the fire which [is] upon the altar.
Ekema Aron ƒe viŋutsuwo, nunɔlawo, atsɔ lãkɔwo, eƒe ta kple ami ada ɖe nakeawo dzi le vɔsamlekpui la dzi.
9 But his inwards and his legs shall he wash in water: and the priest shall burn all on the altar, [to be] a burnt-sacrifice, an offering made by fire, of a sweet savor to the LORD.
Amea aklɔ eƒe dɔmenuwo kple afɔwo, nunɔla la atɔ dzo wo ɖe vɔsamlekpui la dzi, eye woazu numevɔsa kple dzovɔsa si ƒe ʋeʋẽ adze Yehowa ŋu.
10 And if his offering [be] of the flocks, [namely], of the sheep, or of the goats, for a burnt-sacrifice; he shall bring it a male without blemish.
“‘Ne vɔsa la nye numevɔsa tso alẽhawo alo gbɔ̃hawo dome la, ele nɛ be wòana atsua si ŋuti kpɔtsɔtsɔ mele o la.
11 And he shall kill it on the side of the altar northward before the LORD: and the priests, Aaron's sons, shall sprinkle his blood around upon the altar:
Ame si le vɔ la sam la awui le Yehowa ŋkume le vɔsamlekpui la ƒe anyiehe lɔƒo. Aron ƒe viŋutsuwo, ame siwo nye nunɔlawo la ahlẽ lã la ƒe ʋu ɖe vɔsamlekpui la ŋu akpe ɖo.
12 And he shall cut it into its pieces, with its head and its fat: and the priest shall lay them in order on the wood that [is] on the fire which [is] upon the altar:
Ekema amea afli lã la, eye nunɔla la atsɔ lãkɔawo, lã la ƒe ta kple eƒe ami ada ɖe nakeawo dzi le vɔsamlekpui la dzi.
13 But he shall wash the inwards and the legs with water: and the priest shall bring [it] all, and burn [it] upon the altar: it [is] a burnt sacrifice, an offering made by fire, of a sweet savor to the LORD.
Ke amea aklɔ dɔmenuawo kple afɔawo, eye nunɔlawo atɔ dzo wo katã le vɔsamlekpui la dzi. Anye numevɔsa kple dzovɔsa si ƒe ʋeʋẽ ado dzidzɔ na Yehowa.
14 And if the burnt sacrifice for his offering to the LORD shall [be] of fowls, then he shall bring his offering of turtle doves, or of young pigeons.
“‘Ne nunana na Yehowa nye numevɔsa si woawɔ kple xevi la, ele be wòanye akpakpa alo ahɔnɛvi.
15 And the priest shall bring it to the altar, and wring off its head, and burn [it] on the altar: and its blood shall be wrung out at the side of the altar:
Nunɔla la atsɔ xevi la ayi vɔsamlekpui la gbɔ, atro kɔ le enu, ana eƒe ʋu naɖuɖu ɖe anyi le vɔsamlekpui la ƒe axadzi, eye woame lã la le vɔsamlekpui la dzi.
16 And he shall pluck away its crop with its feathers, and cast it beside the altar on the east part, by the place of the ashes:
Nunɔla la aɖe eƒe agbonu kple emenuwo, eye wòatsɔ wo aƒu gbe ɖe vɔsamlekpui la ƒe ɣedzeƒe lɔƒo, afi si dzowɔ le la.
17 And he shall cleave it with its wings, [but] shall not divide [it] asunder: and the priest shall burn it upon the altar, upon the wood that [is] upon the fire: it [is] a burnt sacrifice, an offering made by fire, of a sweet savor to the LORD.
Emegbe la, alé eƒe aʋalawo, eye wòafe xevi la me, gake eƒe aʋalawo maɖe ɖa le xevi la ŋu o. Azɔ la, nunɔla la atɔ dzoe le vɔsamlekpui la dzi, eye wòanye vɔsa si adze Yehowa ŋu. Enye numevɔsa kple dzovɔsa si ƒe ʋeʋẽ adze Yehowa ŋu.
