Mose 2 30
1 “Tsɔ akasiati wɔ vɔsamlekpui aɖe si dzi woado dzudzɔ ʋeʋĩ ɖo.
And you shall make the altar of incense of incorruptible 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.
And you shall make it a cubit in length, and a cubit in breadth: it shall be square; and the height of it shall be of two cubits, its horns shall be of the same piece.
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 you shall gild its grate with pure gold, and its sides round about, and its horns; and you shall make for it a wreathen border of gold roundabout.
4 Wɔ sikagagɔdɔ̃e eve ɖe atsyɔ̃ɖonu la te, ɖe eƒe axa eveawo, be woatsɔ vɔsamlekpui la kɔtiwo aƒo ɖe wo me.
And you shall make under its wreathen border two rings of pure gold; you shall make it to the two corners on the two sides, and they shall be bearings for the staves, so as to bear it with them.
5 Woawɔ vɔsamlekpui la kɔtiwo kple akasiati, eye woafa sika ɖe wo ŋu.
And you shall make the staves of incorruptible wood, and shall gild 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 you shall set it before the veil that is over the ark of the testimonies, wherein I will make myself known to you from thence.
7 “Ŋdi sia ŋdi la, Aron ado dzudzɔ kple atike ʋeʋĩ le vɔsamlekpui la dzi, ne ebɔbɔ akaɖigbɛawo ɖe eme.
And Aaron shall burn upon it fine compound incense every morning; whenever he trims the lamps he shall burn incense upon 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 in the evening, he shall burn incense upon it; a constant incense-offering always before the Lord for their generations.
9 Mègawɔ dzudzɔdovɔsa, numevɔsa, nuɖuvɔsa alo nunovɔsa bubu aɖeke si ŋu nyemeɖe mɔ le o.
And you shall not offer strange incense upon it, [nor] and offering made by fire, [nor] a sacrifice; and you shall not pour a drink-offering upon 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 once in the year Aaron shall make atonement on its horns, he shall purge it with the blood of purification for their generations: it is most holy to the Lord.
11 Yehowa gblɔ na Mose be,
And the Lord 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.
If you take account of the children of Israel in the surveying of them, and they shall give every one a ransom for his soul to the Lord, then there shall not be among them a destruction in the visiting of 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.
And this is what they shall give, as many as pass the survey, half a didrachm which is according to the didrachm of the sanctuary: twenty oboli [go to] the didrachm, but the half of the didrachm is the offering to the Lord.
14 Ame sia ame si wotia, eye wòxɔ ƒe blaeve alo wu nenema la nadzɔ nu na Yehowa.
Every one that passes the survey from twenty years old and upwards shall give the offering to the Lord.
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 didrachm in giving the offering to the Lord, 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 you shall take the money of the offering from the children of Israel, and shall give it for the service of the tabernacle of testimony; and it shall be to the children of Israel a memorial before the Lord, to make atonement for your souls.
17 Eye Yehowa gblɔ na Mose be,
And the Lord 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.
Make a brazen laver, and a brazen base for it, for washing; and you shall put it between the tabernacle of witness and the altar, and you shall pour forth water into 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 with water from it.
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.
Whenever they shall go into the tabernacle of witness, they shall wash themselves with water, so they shall not die, whenever they advance to the altar to do service and to offer the whole burnt offerings to the Lord.
21 Esiawoe nye ɖoɖowo na Aron kple via ŋutsuwo tso dzidzime yi dzidzime.”
They shall wash their hands and feet with water, whenever they shall go into the tabernacle of witness; they shall wash themselves with water, that they die not; and it shall be for them a perpetual statute, for him and his posterity after him.
22 Yehowa gblɔ na Mose be,
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
23 “Ƒo atike ʋeʋĩ nyuitɔwo nu ƒu ale: ‘Mira’ nyuitɔ kilogram ade, ‘sinamon’ kilogram etɔ̃, atike ʋeʋĩ kilogram etɔ̃,
Do you also take sweet herbs, the flower of choice myrrh five hundred shekels, and the half of this two hundred and fifty shekels of sweet smelling cinnamon, and two hundred and fifty shekels of sweet smelling calamus,
24 ‘akasea’ kilogram ade kple ami lita ene le kɔkɔeƒe la ƒe dzidzenu nu.
and of cassia five hundred shekels of the sanctuary, and a hin of olive oil.
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 you shall make it a holy anointing oil, a perfumed ointment [tempered] by the are of the perfumer: it shall be a holy anointing oil.
26 Yehowa gblɔ be, “Si ami sia na agbadɔ la, nubablaɖaka la,
And you shall anoint with it the tabernacle of witness, and the ark of the tabernacle of witness,
27 kplɔ̃ la kple eŋunuwo, akaɖiti la kple eŋunuwo, dzudzɔdovɔsamlekpui la,
and all its furniture, and the candlestick and all its furniture, and the altar of incense,
28 numevɔsamlekpui la kple eŋunuwo kple asiklɔgagbɛ la kple eƒe afɔ.
and the altar of whole burnt offerings and all its furniture, and the table and all its furniture, and the laver.
29 Kɔ wo ŋu woazu kɔkɔe; nu sia nu si aka wo ŋu la azu kɔkɔe na Mawu.
And you shall sanctify them, and they shall be most holy: every one that touches them shall be hallowed.
30 “Tsɔe si ami na Aron kple via ŋutsuwo, eye nàkɔ wo ŋu hena subɔsubɔdɔwo wɔwɔ nam abe nunɔlawo ene.
And you shall anoint Aaron and his sons, and sanctify them that they may minister to me as priests.
31 Gblɔ na Israelviwo be, ‘Ami sia anye ami kɔkɔe si miasi na amewo ɣe sia ɣi.
And you shall speak to the children of Israel, saying, This shall be to you a holy anointing oil 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.
On man's flesh it shall not be poured, and you shall not make [any] for yourselves according to this composition: it is holy, and shall be holiness 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.’”
Whosoever shall make it in like manner, and whoever shall give of it to a stranger, shall be destroyed from among 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 the Lord said to Moses, Take for yourself sweet herbs, stacte, onycha, sweet galbanum, and transparent frankincense; there shall be an equal weight of each.
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 they shall make with it perfumed incense, tempered with the are of a perfumer, a pure holy work.
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 of these you shall beat some small, and you shall put it before the testimonies in the tabernacle of testimony, whence I will make myself known to you: it shall be to you a most holy incense.
37 Migawɔ etɔgbi na mia ɖokuiwo gbeɖegbeɖe o, elabena enye nu kɔkɔe na Yehowa ɖeɖe ko.
You shall not make any for yourselves according to this composition; it shall be to you a holy thing for the Lord.
38 Ame si awɔ esia tɔgbi be eƒe ʋeʋẽ lĩlĩlĩ nado dzidzɔ nɛ la, ele be woaɖee ɖa le eƒe dukɔ la dome.”
Whosoever shall make any in like manner, so as to smell it, shall perish from his people.
