Mose 3 12
1 Yehowa gblɔ na Mose be,
Yahweh also said to Moses/me,
2 “De se siawo na Israelviwo be, ‘Ne nyɔnu aɖe dzi ŋutsuvi la, nyɔnu la ŋu mekɔ o, ŋkeke adre, eye wòawɔ se siwo dzi wòwɔna ne etsi gbɔto la dzi.
“Tell this to the Israeli people: ‘If a woman gives birth to a son, she must be avoided for seven days, like she must be avoided when she is menstruating each month.
3 Ele be woatso aʋa na ɖevia le ŋkeke enyia gbe.
The baby son must be circumcised on the eighth day after he is born.
4 Ekema le ŋkeke blaetɔ̃-vɔ-etɔ̃ siwo akplɔe ɖo, le ale si eŋuti mekɔ haɖe o ta la, maka asi nu kɔkɔe aɖeke ŋuti o, eye made Agbadɔ me hã o.
Then the woman must wait 33 days to be purified from her bleeding [during childbirth]. She must not touch anything that is sacred or enter the Sacred Tent area until that time is ended.
5 Ne nyɔnu aɖe dzi nyɔnuvi la, nyɔnu la ŋu mekɔ o kɔsiɖa eve, eye wòawɔ se siwo dzi wòwɔna ne etsi gbɔto la dzi. Ekema le ŋkeke blaade-vɔ-ade siwo akplɔe ɖo me la, ʋu si anɔ dodom le eŋuti la ana be eƒe ŋuti nanɔ kɔkɔm.
If a woman gives birth to a daughter, she must be avoided for two weeks, like she must be avoided when she is menstruating each month. Then she must wait 66 days to be purified from the bleeding that occurred [when her baby was born].
6 “‘Ne nyɔnu la ƒe ŋutikɔkɔ ƒe ɣeyiɣi de la, ne via nye ŋutsuvi loo alo nyɔnuvi hã la, ele na nyɔnu la be wòana alẽvi si xɔ ƒe ɖeka hena numevɔsa, eye wòana ahɔnɛ alo akpakpa ɖeka hena nu vɔ̃ ŋuti vɔsa. Atsɔ nu siawo ayi na nunɔla la le Agbadɔ la ƒe ʋɔtru nu,
‘Then that time for her to be purified is ended, that woman must bring to the priest at the entrance of the Sacred Tent a one-year-old lamb to be completely burned [on the altar], and a dove or a young pigeon [to be sacrificed] to enable her to become acceptable to Yahweh again.
7 nunɔla la asa vɔ na Yehowa, eye wòalé avu ɖe enu. Ekema eŋuti akɔ azɔ le ʋu si do le eŋu to vidzidzi me la megbe. “‘Esiawoe nye nu siwo wòle be woawɔ le vidzidzi megbe.
The priest will offer them to Yahweh in order that she may be forgiven for any sins she has committed. Then she will be purified from her loss of blood [when the baby was born]. ‘Those are the regulations for women who give birth to a son or daughter.
8 Ke ne nyɔnu aɖe da ahe ale gbegbe be mate ŋu ana alẽ o la, ekema ele nɛ be wòana akpakpa eve alo ahɔnɛ eve. Woatsɔ xeviawo dometɔ ɖeka asa numevɔ, eye woatsɔ evelia asa nu vɔ̃ vɔsae. Nunɔla la atsɔ nu siawo alé avu ɖe enu ale be eŋuti nagakɔ.’”
If a woman who gives birth to a child cannot afford a lamb, she must bring two doves or two young pigeons. One will be burned completely [on the altar], and one will be an offering to enable her to become acceptable to God again. By doing that, the priest will cause that she will be forgiven for any sins she has committed, and she no longer will need to be avoided.’”
