Mose 2 30
1 “Tsɔ akasiati wɔ vɔsamlekpui aɖe si dzi woado dzudzɔ ʋeʋĩ ɖo.
And thou shall make an altar to burn incense upon. Thou shall make it of acacia wood.
2 Na eƒe didime kple kekeme siaa nanɔ sentimita blaene-vɔ-atɔ̃, eye wòakɔ sentimita blaasiekɛ. Tsɔ akasiati ke kpa lãdzowo ɖe vɔsamlekpui la ŋu woanye nu ɖeka.
A cubit shall be the length of it, and a cubit the breadth of it (it shall be foursquare), and two cubits shall be the height of it. The horns of it shall be of one piece with it.
3 Fa sika nyuitɔ ɖe vɔsamlekpui la tame kple eƒe axadziwo kple lãdzoawo ŋu, eye nàgatsɔ sika nyuitɔ aɖo atsyɔ̃ na vɔsamlekpui la ƒe towo katã.
And thou shall overlay it with pure gold, the top of it, and the sides of it round about, and the horns of it. And thou shall make to it a crown of gold round about.
4 Wɔ sikagagɔdɔ̃e eve ɖe atsyɔ̃ɖonu la te, ɖe eƒe axa eveawo, be woatsɔ vɔsamlekpui la kɔtiwo aƒo ɖe wo me.
And two golden rings thou shall make for it under the crown of it, upon the two ribs of it, upon the two sides of it thou shall make them. And they shall be for places for staves with which to bear it.
5 Woawɔ vɔsamlekpui la kɔtiwo kple akasiati, eye woafa sika ɖe wo ŋu.
And thou shall make the staves of acacia wood, and overlay them with gold.
6 Tsɔ vɔsamlekpui la da ɖe xɔmetsovɔ la ŋgɔ, wòate ɖe amenuveve ƒe nutsyɔnu si nye nubablaɖaka si me Se Ewoawo le la kasa, afi si mado go wò le.
And thou shall put it before the veil that is by the ark of the testimony, before the mercy-seat that is over the testimony, where I will meet with thee.
7 “Ŋdi sia ŋdi la, Aron ado dzudzɔ kple atike ʋeʋĩ le vɔsamlekpui la dzi, ne ebɔbɔ akaɖigbɛawo ɖe eme.
And Aaron shall burn in it incense of sweet spices. Every morning, when he dresses the lamps, he shall burn it.
8 Fiẽ sia fiẽ la, Aron agado dzudzɔ kple lifi le Yehowa ŋkume, ne esi akaɖiawo. Nu sia ayi edzi tso dzidzime yi dzidzime.
And when Aaron lights the lamps at evening, he shall burn it, a perpetual incense before Jehovah throughout your generations.
9 Mègawɔ dzudzɔdovɔsa, numevɔsa, nuɖuvɔsa alo nunovɔsa bubu aɖeke si ŋu nyemeɖe mɔ le o.
Ye shall offer no strange incense on it, nor burnt offering, nor meal offering. And ye shall pour no drink offering on it.
10 “Zi ɖeka le ƒe ɖe sia ɖe me la, Aron awɔ avulévɔsa na eƒe lãdzoawo. Woawɔ ƒe sia ƒe ƒe avulévɔsa kple nu vɔ̃ ƒe avulévɔsalã ƒe ʋu le dzidzimewo katã me. Enye nu kɔkɔetɔ kekeake na Yehowa.”
And Aaron shall make atonement upon the horns of it once in the year, with the blood of the sin offering of atonement. Once in the year he shall make atonement for it throughout your generations. It is most holy to Jehovah.
11 Yehowa gblɔ na Mose be,
And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
12 “Ɣe sia ɣi si nàxlẽ Israelviwo la, ele be ame sia ame si woaxlẽ la, naxe fe na Yehowa ɖe eƒe agbe ta, ale be dɔvɔ̃ manɔ ameawo dome ne èle wo xlẽm o.
When thou take the sum of the sons of Israel, according to those who are numbered of them, then they shall give every man a ransom for his soul to Jehovah when thou number them, that there be no plague among them when thou number them.
13 Ga si ame sia ame si woxlẽ naxe la nye klosalo gram ade. Ke nu si woaxe la aku ɖe kɔkɔeƒe ga home si woabia tso wo si le ƒe ma me la ŋu. Woadzɔ nu sia na Yehowa.
This they shall give, everyone who passes over to those who are numbered: half a shekel after the shekel of the sanctuary, (the shekel is twenty gerahs, ) half a shekel for an offering to Jehovah.
14 Ame sia ame si wotia, eye wòxɔ ƒe blaeve alo wu nenema la nadzɔ nu na Yehowa.
Everyone who passes over to those who are numbered, from twenty years old and upward, shall give the offering of Jehovah.
15 Hotsuitɔwo maxe fe sia wòawu home si meyɔ o, eye ame dahewo hã mana nu wòanɔ sue wu o, elabena vɔsae wònye na Yehowa hena miaƒe nu vɔ̃wo ƒe tsɔtsɔke.
The rich shall not give more, and the poor shall not give less, than the half shekel, when they give the offering of Jehovah, to make atonement for your souls.
16 “Wɔ ga sia ŋu dɔ hena agbadɔ la dzadzraɖo. Eyae aɖo ŋku Israelviwo dzi na Yehowa, eye wòanye avulénu ɖe mia ta.”
And thou shall take the atonement money from the sons of Israel, and shall appoint it for the service of the tent of meeting, that it may be a memorial for the sons of Israel before Jehovah, to make atonement for your souls.
17 Eye Yehowa gblɔ na Mose be,
And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
18 “Tsɔ akɔbli wɔ gagbɛ aɖe kple eƒe zɔ hena ŋutikɔklɔ. Tsɔe da ɖe agbadɔ la kple vɔsamlekpui la dome, eye nàkɔ tsi ɖe eme.
Thou shall also make a laver of brass, and the base of it of brass for washing. And thou shall put it between the tent of meeting and the altar, and thou shall put water in it.
19 Na Aron kple via ŋutsuwo naklɔ asi kple afɔ le afi sia,
And Aaron and his sons shall wash their hands and their feet there.
20 ne woyina agbadɔ la me be woado ɖe Yehowa ŋkume alo hafi woate ɖe vɔsamlekpui la ŋu be woasa vɔ na Yehowa. Ele be woaklɔ asi kple afɔ hafi awɔ nu siawo, ne menye nenema o la, woaku.
When they go into the tent of meeting, they shall wash with water, that they not die, or when they come near to the altar to minister, to burn an offering made by fire to Jehovah.
21 Esiawoe nye ɖoɖowo na Aron kple via ŋutsuwo tso dzidzime yi dzidzime.”
So they shall wash their hands and their feet, that they not die. And it shall be a statute forever to them, even to him and to his seed throughout their generations.
22 Yehowa gblɔ na Mose be,
Moreover Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
23 “Ƒo atike ʋeʋĩ nyuitɔwo nu ƒu ale: ‘Mira’ nyuitɔ kilogram ade, ‘sinamon’ kilogram etɔ̃, atike ʋeʋĩ kilogram etɔ̃,
Take thou also to thee the chief spices: of flowing myrrh five hundred shekels, and of sweet cinnamon half so much, even two hundred and fifty, and of sweet calamus two hundred and fifty,
24 ‘akasea’ kilogram ade kple ami lita ene le kɔkɔeƒe la ƒe dzidzenu nu.
and of cassia five hundred, after the shekel of the sanctuary, and of olive oil a hin.
25 Yehowa gblɔ na amiʋeʋĩwɔla xɔŋkɔwo be woatsɔ atike siawo awɔ amisisi kɔkɔe lae. Anye dzudzɔdonu kɔkɔe abe ale si amiʋeʋĩwɔla nyuitɔwo wɔnɛ ene.”
And thou shall make it a holy anointing oil, a perfume compounded after the art of the perfumer. It shall be a holy anointing oil.
26 Yehowa gblɔ be, “Si ami sia na agbadɔ la, nubablaɖaka la,
And thou shall anoint with it the tent of meeting, and the ark of the testimony,
27 kplɔ̃ la kple eŋunuwo, akaɖiti la kple eŋunuwo, dzudzɔdovɔsamlekpui la,
and the table and all the vessels of it, and the lampstand and the vessels of it, and the altar of incense,
28 numevɔsamlekpui la kple eŋunuwo kple asiklɔgagbɛ la kple eƒe afɔ.
and the altar of burnt offering with all the vessels of it, and the laver and the base of it.
29 Kɔ wo ŋu woazu kɔkɔe; nu sia nu si aka wo ŋu la azu kɔkɔe na Mawu.
And thou shall sanctify them, that they may be most holy. Whatever touches them shall be holy.
30 “Tsɔe si ami na Aron kple via ŋutsuwo, eye nàkɔ wo ŋu hena subɔsubɔdɔwo wɔwɔ nam abe nunɔlawo ene.
And thou shall anoint Aaron and his sons, and sanctify them, that they may minister to me in the priest's office.
31 Gblɔ na Israelviwo be, ‘Ami sia anye ami kɔkɔe si miasi na amewo ɣe sia ɣi.
And thou shall speak to the sons of Israel, saying, This shall be a holy anointing oil to me throughout your generations.
32 Womakɔe ɖe ame dzodzro aɖeke dzi o, eye ame aɖeke mawɔ etɔgbi na eɖokui o, elabena ami kɔkɔe wònye, eye ele be ame sia ame nabui ami kɔkɔe.
Upon the flesh of man it shall not be poured, neither shall ye make any like it, according to the composition of it. It is holy, and it shall be holy to you.
33 Ele be woaɖe ame sia ame si awɔ etɔgbi alo atsɔe asi na ame aɖe si menye nunɔla o la le ha me.’”
Whoever compounds any like it, or whoever puts any of it upon a stranger, he shall be cut off from his people.
34 Yehowa gblɔ na Mose be, “Tsɔ atike ʋeʋĩwo, lifi lãhe, onitsa, galbanum kple lifi nyuitɔ kpekpeme ma ke na ɖe sia ɖe,
And Jehovah said to Moses, Take to thee sweet spices, stacte, and onycha, and galbanum, sweet spices with pure frankincense, of each shall there be a like weight.
35 eye nàtsɔ wo awɔ dzudzɔdonu abe ale si dzudzɔdonuwɔlawo wɔnɛ ɣe sia ɣi ene pɛpɛpɛ. De dze sue aɖe eme, eye wòanye dzudzɔdonu kɔkɔe si dza.
And thou shall make of it incense, a perfume after the art of the perfumer, seasoned with salt, pure and holy.
36 Tu eƒe ɖe memie eye nàtsɔ eƒe ɖe da ɖe nubablaɖaka la ŋgɔ, afi si medoa go wò le, le agbadɔ la me. Dzudzɔdonu sia le kɔkɔe.
And thou shall beat some of it very small, and put of it before the testimony in the tent of meeting, where I will meet with thee. It shall be to you most holy.
37 Migawɔ etɔgbi na mia ɖokuiwo gbeɖegbeɖe o, elabena enye nu kɔkɔe na Yehowa ɖeɖe ko.
And the incense which thou shall make, ye shall not make for yourselves according to the composition of it. It shall be to thee holy for Jehovah.
38 Ame si awɔ esia tɔgbi be eƒe ʋeʋẽ lĩlĩlĩ nado dzidzɔ nɛ la, ele be woaɖee ɖa le eƒe dukɔ la dome.”
Whoever shall make like that, to smell of it, he shall be cut off from his people.
