< Leviticus 1 >

1 Yahweh called to Moses, and spoke to him from the Tent of Meeting, saying,
Azɔ la, Yehowa ƒo nu na Mose tso Mawu ƒe agbadɔ la me hegblɔ be,
2 “Speak to the children of Israel, and tell them, ‘When anyone of you offers an offering to Yahweh, you shall offer your offering of the livestock, from the herd and from 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 is a burnt offering from the herd, he shall offer a male without defect. He shall offer it at the door of the Tent of Meeting, that he may be accepted before Yahweh.
“‘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 He shall lay his hand on 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 He shall kill the bull before Yahweh. Aaron’s sons, the priests, shall present the blood and sprinkle the blood around on the altar that is at the door of the Tent of Meeting.
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 He shall skin the burnt offering and cut it into pieces.
Ele nɛ be wòako numevɔsalã la eye wòaflii.
7 The sons of Aaron the priest shall put fire on the altar, and lay wood in order on the fire;
Aron ƒe viŋutsu siwo nye nunɔlawo la ado dzo ɖe vɔsamlekpui la dzi, eye woaɖo nake ɖe dzo la dzi.
8 and Aaron’s sons, the priests, shall lay the pieces, the head, and the fat in order on the wood that is on the fire which is on the altar;
Ekema Aron ƒe viŋutsuwo, nunɔlawo, atsɔ lãkɔwo, eƒe ta kple ami ada ɖe nakeawo dzi le vɔsamlekpui la dzi.
9 but he shall wash its innards and its legs with water. The priest shall burn all of it on the altar, for a burnt offering, an offering made by fire, of a pleasant aroma to Yahweh.
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 “‘If his offering is from the flock, from the sheep or from the goats, for a burnt offering, he shall offer a male without defect.
“‘Ne vɔsa la nye numevɔsa tso alẽhawo alo gbɔ̃hawo dome la, ele nɛ be wòana atsua si ŋuti kpɔtsɔtsɔ mele o la.
11 He shall kill it on the north side of the altar before Yahweh. Aaron’s sons, the priests, shall sprinkle its blood around on 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 He shall cut it into its pieces, with its head and its fat. The priest shall lay them in order on the wood that is on the fire which is on 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 the innards and the legs he shall wash with water. The priest shall offer the whole, and burn it on the altar. It is a burnt offering, an offering made by fire, of a pleasant aroma to Yahweh.
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 “‘If his offering to Yahweh is a burnt offering of birds, then he shall offer his offering from turtledoves or of young pigeons.
“‘Ne nunana na Yehowa nye numevɔsa si woawɔ kple xevi la, ele be wòanye akpakpa alo ahɔnɛvi.
15 The priest shall bring it to the altar, and wring off its head, and burn it on the altar; and its blood shall be drained out on 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 take away its crop and its feathers, and cast it beside the altar on the east part, in 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 He shall tear it by its wings, but shall not divide it apart. The priest shall burn it on the altar, on the wood that is on the fire. It is a burnt offering, an offering made by fire, of a pleasant aroma to Yahweh.
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.
