Leviticus 16

1 And the LORD spoke to Moses after the death of the two sons of Aaron, when they offered before the LORD, and died:

Aaron mmabarima baanu a wowuwuu wɔ Awurade anim no wu akyi no, Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose se,

2 And the LORD said to Moses, Speak to Aaron thy brother, that he come not at all times into the holy [place] within the vail, before the mercy-seat, which [is] upon the ark; that he may not die: for I will appear in the cloud upon the mercy-seat.

“Bɔ wo nua Aaron kɔkɔ sɛ, ɔnnkɔ kronkronbea hɔ wɔ ntwamtam no akyi; beae a apam adaka no si ne mmɔborɔhunu beae hɔ kwa. Ɔkɔ hɔ a obewu, efisɛ mʼankasa mewɔ omununkum a ɛkata mpata beae so no mu.

3 Thus shall Aaron come into the holy [place]: with a young bullock for a sin-offering, and a ram for a burnt-offering.

“Sɛ ɔpɛ sɛ ɔkɔ hɔ a, nea ɛsɛ sɛ ɔyɛ ni: Ɛsɛ sɛ ɔde nantwinini ba ba ma wɔde bɔ bɔne ho afɔre na ɔde odwennini nso ba ma wɔde bɔ ɔhyew afɔre.

4 He shall put on the holy linen coat, and he shall have the linen breeches upon his flesh, and shall be girded with the linen girdle, and with the linen miter shall he be attired: these [are] holy garments; therefore shall he wash his flesh in water, and [so] put them on.

Ɛsɛ sɛ oguare na ɔhyɛ atade hanahana ne ne nhyɛase na ɔbɔ nkyekyeremu ne abotiri.

5 And he shall take of the congregation of the children of Israel two kids of the goats for a sin-offering, and one ram for a burnt-offering.

Afei, Israelfo bɛbrɛ no mmirekyi abien a wɔde bɛbɔ wɔn bɔne ho afɔre ne odwennini a wɔde bɛbɔ wɔn ɔhyew afɔre.

6 And Aaron shall offer his bullock of the sin-offering, which [is] for himself, and make an atonement for himself, and for his house.

“Ɛsɛ sɛ Aaron de nantwi ba no bɛma Awurade sɛ bɔne ho afɔre a ɔrebɔ ama ne ho de ayɛ mpata ama ne ho ne ne fifo.

7 And he shall take the two goats, and present them before the LORD [at] the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.

Afei, ɔde mmirekyi abien no bɛba Awurade anim wɔ Ahyiae Ntamadan no ano.

8 And Aaron shall cast lots upon the two goats; one lot for the LORD, and the other lot for the scape-goat.

Ɛsɛ sɛ ɔbɔ mmirekyi no so ntonto hu Awurade de, ne nea ɛsɛ sɛ wɔsan de no kɔ.

9 And Aaron shall bring the goat upon which the LORD'S lot fell, and offer him [for] a sin-offering.

Aaron de abirekyi a wɔde no rebɛbɔ Awurade afɔre no bɛbɔ bɔne ho afɔre.

10 But the goat on which the lot fell to be the scape-goat, shall be presented alive before the LORD, to make an atonement with him, [and] to let him go for a scape-goat into the wilderness.

Wɔrenkum abirekyi baako a waka no na wɔde no aba Awurade anim. Wɔbɛyɛ mpata ho dwumadi bi agu ne so na wɔde no akɔ sare so akogyaw no wɔ hɔ sɛ mpata guan.

11 And Aaron shall bring the bullock of the sin-offering, which [is] for himself, and shall make an atonement for himself, and for his house, and shall kill the bullock of the sin-offering which [is] for himself:

“Aaron de nantwinini ba no bɛbɔ bɔne ho afɔre ama ne ho ne ne fifo.

12 And he shall take a censer full of burning coals of fire from off the altar before the LORD, and his hands full of sweet incense beaten small, and bring [it] within the vail:

Ɛsɛ sɛ ɔfa ade a wɔhyew aduhuam wɔ mu a nnyansramma a wɔfaa wɔ Awurade afɔremuka no so ayɛ no ma. Afei ɔde aduhuam a wɔayam no muhumuhu bɛyɛ ne nsam na ɔde akɔ ntwamtam no akyi.

13 And he shall put the incense upon the fire before the LORD, that the cloud of the incense may cover the mercy-seat that [is] upon the testimony, that he may not die.

Ɛhɔ na ɔde aduhuam no begu ogya no so wɔ Awurade anim na ayɛ wusiw kumɔnn wɔ mpata beae apam ne adaka (a abo apon a wɔakyerɛw Mmaransɛm Du agu so wɔ mu) no so nyinaa sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a ɔrenwu.

14 And he shall take of the blood of the bullock, and sprinkle [it] with his finger upon the mercy-seat eastward: and before the mercy-seat shall he sprinkle of the blood with his finger seven times.

Na ɔde nantwinini ba no mogya no bi bɛba na ɔde ne nsateaa baako abɔ mu apete mpata beae hɔ apuei fam na wapete no mpɛn ason wɔ anim.

15 Then shall he kill the goat of the sin-offering that [is] for the people, and bring his blood within the vail, and do with that blood as he did with the blood of the bullock, and sprinkle it upon the mercy-seat, and before the mercy-seat:

“Afei, ɛsɛ sɛ ofi adi na ɔde abirekyi no kɔbɔ ɔmanfo no bɔne ho afɔre na wɔde ne mogya no ba ntwamtam no akyi na wɔpete gu mpata hɔ ne anim sɛnea ɔde nantwinini ba no mogya no yɛe no ara pɛ.

16 And he shall make an atonement for the holy [place], because of the uncleanness of the children of Israel, and because of their transgressions in all their sins: and so shall he do for the tabernacle of the congregation that remaineth among them in the midst of their uncleanness.

Na ɛkyerɛ sɛ wayɛ mpata ama beae kronkron hɔ, efisɛ Israelfo bɔne ama efi aka beae hɔ ne Ahyiae Ntamadan no a wɔasi wɔ wɔn mfimfini hɔ no.

17 And there shall be no man in the tabernacle of the congregation when he goeth in to make an atonement in the holy [place], until he shall come out, and shall have made an atonement for himself, and for his household, and for all the congregation of Israel.

Sɛ Aaron wura Ahyiae Ntamadan no mu kɔ kronkronbea hɔ rekɔyɛ mpata adwuma no a, ɛnsɛ sɛ obiara kɔ hɔ bi, gye sɛ ɔyɛ mpata no ma ne ho ne ne fifo ne Israelfo nyinaa wie.

18 And he shall go out to the altar that [is] before the LORD, and make an atonement for it; and shall take of the blood of the bullock, and of the blood of the goat, and put [it] upon the horns of the altar round about.

“Afei, ɔbɛkɔ afɔremuka no ho wɔ Awurade anim akɔyɛ mpata ama afɔremuka no. Ɛsɛ sɛ ɔde nantwinini ba no ne abirekyi mogya no sra mmɛn a etuatua afɔremuka no ho no ho.

19 And he shall sprinkle of the blood upon it with his finger seven times, and cleanse it, and hallow it from the uncleanness of the children of Israel.

Na ɔde ne nsateaa baako bɛpete mogya no mpɛn ason agu afɔremuka no so de atew ho afi Israelfo bɔne no ho ayɛ no kronkron.

20 And when he hath made an end of reconciling the holy [place], and the tabernacle of the congregation, and the altar, he shall bring the live goat:

“Sɛ owie mpata a ɛfa kronkronbea hɔ ne Ahyiae Ntamadan no ho nsɛm nyinaa ne afɔremuka no ho a, ɔde abirekyi no bɛba anikann.

21 And Aaron shall lay both his hands upon the head of the live goat, and confess over him all the iniquities of the children of Israel, and all their transgressions in all their sins, putting them upon the head of the goat, and shall send [him] away by the hand of a fit man into the wilderness:

Na ɔde ne nsa abien agu aboa no apampam, na waka atirimɔden ne atuatew a Israelfo ayɛ, wɔn bɔne nyinaa de agu abirekyi no apampam, na obi a wɔayi no sɛ ɔnyɛ saa adwuma no de aboa no bɛkɔ sare so.

22 And the goat shall bear upon him all their iniquities to a land not inhabited: and he shall let go the goat in the wilderness.

Enti abirekyi no bɛsoa nnipa no bɔne nyinaa de akɔ asase a obi nte so no so na nipa no agyaa no wɔ sare so hɔ.

23 And Aaron shall come into the tabernacle of the congregation, and shall put off the linen garments which he put on when he went into the holy [place], and shall leave them there:

“Afei, Aaron bɛkɔ Ahyiae Ntamadan mu hɔ bio akɔworɔw nʼatade hanahana a ɔhyɛɛ wɔ ntwamtam no akyi no na wagyaw wɔ hɔ.

24 And he shall wash his flesh with water in the holy [place], and put on his garments, and come forth, and offer his burnt-offering, and the burnt-offering of the people, and make an atonement for himself, and for the people.

Ɔbɛkɔ akoguare wɔ faako a wɔatew hɔ ho na wahyɛ ne ntade no bio na wafi adi akɔbɔ ɔno ankasa ɔhyew afɔre asan abɔ ɔhyew afɔre ama nnipa no na wayɛ mpata ama ne ho ne wɔn.

25 And the fat of the sin-offering shall he burn upon the altar.

Ɔbɛhyew srade de abɔ bɔne ho afɔre wɔ afɔremuka no so.

26 And he that let go the goat for the scape-goat shall wash his clothes, and bathe his flesh in water, and afterward come into the camp.

“Akyiri no, ɔbarima a ɔde abirekyi no kɔɔ sare so kogyaa no no bɛhoro ne ntama na waguare na wasan aba beae hɔ bio.

27 And the bullock [for] the sin-offering, and the goat [for] the sin-offering, whose blood was brought in to make atonement in the holy [place], shall [one] carry forth without the camp; and they shall burn in the fire their skins, and their flesh, and their dung.

Na nantwi ba ne abirekyi a wɔde bɔɔ bɔne ho afɔre no a Aaron de wɔn mogya kɔɔ kronkronbea hɔ kɔyɛɛ mpata no, wɔde wɔn bɛkɔ nsraban no akyi baabi akɔhyew a wɔn ho nwoma ne wɔn ayamde ka ho.

28 And he that burneth them shall wash his clothes, and bathe his flesh in water, and afterward he shall come into the camp.

Akyiri no, onipa a ɔrebɛhyew afɔrebɔde no bɛhoro ne ntama, aguare na wasan akɔ beae hɔ bio.

29 And [this] shall be a statute for ever to you: [that] in the seventh month, on the tenth [day] of the month, ye shall afflict your souls, and do no work at all, [whether it be] one of your own country, or a stranger that sojourneth among you:

“Eyi yɛ mmara a ɛwɔ hɔ daa. Ɔsram a ɛto so ason no nnafua du so no, ɛnsɛ sɛ moyɛ adwuma biara, na mmom, momfa saa da no nkari mo ho nhwɛ wɔ ahobrɛase mu. Saa mmara yi ka wɔn a wɔwoo wɔn wɔ asase yi so anaa ahɔho a wɔne Israelfo te;

30 For on that day shall [the priest] make an atonement for you, to cleanse you, [that] ye may be clean from all your sins before the LORD.

efisɛ da yi na wɔde kae mo mpata ne mo ahodwira wɔ mo bɔne ho wɔ Awurade anim.

31 It [shall be] a sabbath of rest to you, and ye shall afflict your souls by a statute for ever.

Ɛyɛ homeda a ɛsɛ sɛ mode home enti ɛsɛ sɛ mudi da no dinn wɔ ahobrɛase mu. Ɛyɛ mmara a ɛbɛtena hɔ daa.

32 And the priest whom he shall anoint, and whom he shall consecrate to minister in the priest's office in his father's stead, shall make the atonement, and shall put on the linen clothes, [even] the holy garments:

Saa ahyɛde yi, Ɔsɔfopanyin a wɔasra no no a obesi ne nena Aaron anan na obedi ho dwuma wɔ beae hɔ. Ɔno nko ara na ɔwɔ ho kwan sɛ ɔhyɛ atade kronkron hanahana no

33 And he shall make an atonement for the holy sanctuary, and he shall make an atonement for the tabernacle of the congregation, and for the altar: and he shall make an atonement for the priests, and for all the people of the congregation.

na ɔyɛ mpata wɔ kronkronbea hɔ wɔ Ahyiae Ntamadan mu hɔ, wɔ afɔremuka no so de ma asɔfo no ne nnipa no.

34 And this shall be an everlasting statute to you, to make an atonement for the children of Israel for all their sins once a year. And he did as the LORD commanded Moses.

“Eyi bɛyɛ mmara a ɛbɛtena hɔ daa ama mo, na Israelfo bɔne nti, moagyina so afe biara de ayɛ mpata ama Israelfo afi wɔn bɔne nyinaa mu.” Na Mose dii mmara a Awurade hyɛ maa no no nyinaa so.
