Mose 3 1
1 Azɔ la, Yehowa ƒo nu na Mose tso Mawu ƒe agbadɔ la me hegblɔ be,
Then the Lord called Moses and spoke to him from the tabernacle of the testimony, saying:
2 “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.
Speak to the sons of Israel, and you shall say to them: The man among you who will offer to the Lord a sacrifice from the cattle, that is, an offering of victims of oxen or sheep:
3 “‘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.
if his offering will be a holocaust, as well as from the herd, he shall offer an immaculate male at the door of the tabernacle of the testimony, to make himself pleasing to the Lord.
4 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.
And he shall place his hand on the head of the sacrifice, and so it shall be acceptable and effective, in its expiation.
5 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.
And he shall immolate the calf in the sight of the Lord. And the priests, the sons of Aaron, shall offer its blood, pouring it all around the altar, which is before the door of the tabernacle.
6 Ele nɛ be wòako numevɔsalã la eye wòaflii.
And having pulled away the skin of the victim, they shall cut up the joints into pieces,
7 Aron ƒe viŋutsu siwo nye nunɔlawo la ado dzo ɖe vɔsamlekpui la dzi, eye woaɖo nake ɖe dzo la dzi.
and they shall toss fire under the altar, having arranged beforehand a stack of wood.
8 Ekema Aron ƒe viŋutsuwo, nunɔlawo, atsɔ lãkɔwo, eƒe ta kple ami ada ɖe nakeawo dzi le vɔsamlekpui la dzi.
And they shall lay the parts which are cut up in order upon it: namely, the head, and all the things that adjoin to the liver,
9 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.
the intestines and feet having been washed with water. And the priest shall burn them on the altar as a holocaust and as a sweet odor to the Lord.
10 “‘Ne vɔsa la nye numevɔsa tso alẽhawo alo gbɔ̃hawo dome la, ele nɛ be wòana atsua si ŋuti kpɔtsɔtsɔ mele o la.
But if the offering is from the flocks, a holocaust either of sheep or goats, he shall offer a male without blemish.
11 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.
And he shall immolate it at the side of the altar which looks out toward the north, in the sight of the Lord. Yet truly, the sons of Aaron shall pour its blood upon the altar all around.
12 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.
And they shall divide the limbs, the head, and everything that adjoins to the liver. And they shall place them on the wood, under which the fire is to be thrown.
13 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.
Yet truly, the intestines and the feet they shall wash with water. And the priest, having offered everything, shall burn it upon the altar as a holocaust and as a most sweet odor to the Lord.
14 “‘Ne nunana na Yehowa nye numevɔsa si woawɔ kple xevi la, ele be wòanye akpakpa alo ahɔnɛvi.
But if the oblation of a holocaust to the Lord is of birds, either of turtledoves, or young pigeons,
15 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.
the priest shall offer it at the altar: and twisting back the neck with the head, and also rupturing the place of the wound, he shall make the blood run down over the edge of the altar.
16 Nunɔla la aɖe eƒe agbonu kple emenuwo, eye wòatsɔ wo aƒu gbe ɖe vɔsamlekpui la ƒe ɣedzeƒe lɔƒo, afi si dzowɔ le la.
Yet truly, the craw of the throat and the feathers he shall cast near the altar at the eastern section, in the place where the ashes are usually poured out.
17 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.
And he shall break its wing joints, but he shall neither cut, nor divide it with metal, and he shall burn it upon the altar, placing fire under the wood. It is a holocaust and an oblation of a most sweet odor to the Lord.
