Mose 2 30
1 “Tsɔ akasiati wɔ vɔsamlekpui aɖe si dzi woado dzudzɔ ʋeʋĩ ɖo.
And thou shalt make an altar to burn incense upon: [of] shittim wood shalt thou make it.
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] its length, and a cubit its breadth; foursquare shall it be; and two cubits [shall be] its hight: its horns [shall be] of the same.
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 shalt overlay it with pure gold, its top, and its sides round about, and its horns; and thou shalt 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 shalt thou make to it under the crown of it, by its two corners, upon the two sides of it shalt thou make [it]; and they shall be for places for the staffs to bear it with.
5 Woawɔ vɔsamlekpui la kɔtiwo kple akasiati, eye woafa sika ɖe wo ŋu.
And thou shalt make the staffs of shittim 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 shalt put it before the vail 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 upon it sweet incense every morning: when he dresseth 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 lighteth the lamps at evening, he shall burn incense upon it; a perpetual incense before the LORD, throughout your generations.
9 Mègawɔ dzudzɔdovɔsa, numevɔsa, nuɖuvɔsa alo nunovɔsa bubu aɖeke si ŋu nyemeɖe mɔ le o.
Ye shall offer no strange incense upon it, nor burnt-sacrifice, nor meat-offering; neither shall ye pour 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 Aaron shall make an atonement upon the horns of it once in a year, with the blood of the sin-offering of atonements: once in a year shall he make atonement upon it throughout your 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.
When thou takest the sum of the children of Israel after their number, then shall they give every man a ransom for his soul to the LORD, when thou numberest them: that there may be no plague among them, when [thou] numberest 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, every one that passeth among them that are numbered, half a shekel, after the shekel of the sanctuary: (a shekel [is] twenty gerahs: ) a half shekel [shall be] the offering of the LORD.
14 Ame sia ame si wotia, eye wòxɔ ƒe blaeve alo wu nenema la nadzɔ nu na Yehowa.
Every one that passeth among them that are numbered from twenty years old and above, shall give an 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 half a shekel, when [they] give an offering to the LORD to make an 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 shalt take the atonement-money of the children of Israel, and shalt appoint it for the service of the tabernacle of the congregation; that it may be a memorial to the children of Israel before the LORD, to make an 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.
Thou shalt also make a laver [of] brass, and its foot [also of] brass, to wash [in]: [and] thou shalt put it between the tabernacle of the congregation and the altar, and thou shalt put water therein.
19 Na Aron kple via ŋutsuwo naklɔ asi kple afɔ le afi sia,
For Aaron and their sons shall wash their hands and their feet thereat:
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 tabernacle of the congregation, they shall wash with water, that they die not: or when they come near to the altar to minister, to burn offering made by fire to the LORD.
21 Esiawoe nye ɖoɖowo na Aron kple via ŋutsuwo tso dzidzime yi dzidzime.”
So they shall wash their hands and their feet, that they die not: and it shall be a statute for ever to them, [even] to him and to his seed throughout their generations.
22 Yehowa gblɔ na Mose be,
Moreover 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,
Take thou also to thee principal spices, of pure myrrh five hundred [shekels], and of sweet cinnamon half as much, [even] two hundred and fifty [shekels], and of sweet calamus two hundred and fifty [shekels],
24 ‘akasea’ kilogram ade kple ami lita ene le kɔkɔeƒe la ƒe dzidzenu nu.
And of cassia five hundred [shekels], 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 shalt make it an oil of holy ointment, an ointment compound after the art of the apothecary: it shall be a holy anointing oil.
26 Yehowa gblɔ be, “Si ami sia na agbadɔ la, nubablaɖaka la,
And thou shalt anoint the tabernacle of the congregation with it, and the ark of the testimony,
27 kplɔ̃ la kple eŋunuwo, akaɖiti la kple eŋunuwo, dzudzɔdovɔsamlekpui la,
And the table and all its vessels, and the candlestick and its vessels, and the altar of incense,
28 numevɔsamlekpui la kple eŋunuwo kple asiklɔgagbɛ la kple eƒe afɔ.
And the altar of burnt-offering with all its vessels, and the laver and its foot.
29 Kɔ wo ŋu woazu kɔkɔe; nu sia nu si aka wo ŋu la azu kɔkɔe na Mawu.
And thou shalt sanctify them, that they may be most holy: whatever toucheth 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 shalt anoint Aaron and his sons, and consecrate 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 shalt speak to the children 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 man's flesh shall it not be poured, neither shall ye make [any other] like it, after 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 compoundeth [any] like it, or whoever putteth [any] of it upon a stranger, shall even 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 the LORD said to Moses, Take to thee sweet spices, stacte, and onycha, and galbanum; [these] 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 shalt make it a perfume, a confection after the art of the apothecary, tempered together, 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 shalt beat [some] of it very small, and put of it before the testimony in the tabernacle of the congregation, 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 [as for] the perfume which thou shalt make, ye shall not make to yourselves according to its composition: it shall be to thee holy 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.”
Whoever shall make the like to that, to smell thereto, shall even be cut off from his people.
