And I chose him from all [the] tribes of Israel for myself to a priest to go up on altar my to make smoke incense to bear an ephod before me and I gave! to [the] house of ancestor your all [the] fire offerings of [the] people of Israel.
29 Ekema nu ka ta miele ŋu klẽm ale ɖe vɔsanu bubu siwo ameawo tsɔna vanɛ nam la ŋu? Nu ka ta nède bubu viwòwo ŋu wu ŋunye? Nu nyui siwo Israel, nye amewo tsɔna vanɛ la na be wò kple woawo siaa mieda ami!
Why? do you kick at sacrifice my and at offering my which I commanded a dwelling place and you honor sons your more than me by fattening yourselves from [the] choicest of every offering of Israel of people my.
30 “Eya ta Yehowa, Israel ƒe Mawu la gblɔ be, ‘Medo ŋugbe be wò kple fofowò ƒe aƒe asubɔ le ŋkunye me tegbee.’ Ke azɔ la Yehowa be, ‘Esia nete ɖa xaa tso gbɔnye! Ame siwo de bubu ŋutinye la, made bubu wo ŋu, ke ame siwo do vlom la, woaɖu ŋukpe.

And this for you [will be] the sign which it will come to [the] two sons your to Hophni and Phinehas on a day one they will die both of them.

And I will raise up for myself a priest faithful according to [that] which [is] in heart my and in soul my he will act and I will build for him a house sure (and he will walk about *LAH(b)*) before anointed my all the days.
36 Ekema ame sia ame si susɔ ɖe wò ƒome la me ava de ta agu ɖe eŋkume abia klosaloga ɖeka alo abolo kakɛ aɖe kple kukuɖeɖe be, “De nunɔla ƒe dɔ aɖe asi nam ale be mate ŋu akpɔ nu vi aɖe aɖu.”’”
And it will be every [one who] remains in house your he will come to bow down to him for a payment of silver and a round loaf of bread and he will say attach me please to one of the priesthoods to eat a piece of bread.
