Mose 3 14
1 Yehowa gblɔ na Mose be,
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
2 “Esiawoe nye ɖoɖowo na ame si dze dɔ le ameŋukɔɣi ne wokplɔe va nunɔla gbɔe.
This is the rite for a leper, when he is to be cleansed. He shall be brought to the priest,
3 Nunɔla la atso asaɖa la me ayi aɖadoe kpɔ. Ne nunɔla la kpɔ be kpodɔléla la ƒe lãme sẽ la,
who, departing from the camp, when he has found the leprosy to be cleansed,
4 ana amea nana xevi eve siwo ŋu se ɖe mɔ le be woaɖu, hekpe ɖe sedati, ka dzĩ kple kakle ŋu be wòawɔ wo ŋu dɔ hena kpodɔléla si haya la ŋutikɔkɔ ƒe kɔnuwo wɔwɔ.
shall instruct him who is to be purified to offer for himself two living sparrows, which it is lawful to eat, and cedar wood, and vermillion, and hyssop.
5 Nunɔla la ana woawu xeviawo dometɔ ɖeka ɖe ze si me tsi nyui le la me.
And he shall order that one of the sparrows be immolated in an earthen vessel over living waters.
6 Woanyrɔ xevi evelia si le agbe la kple sedati, ka dzẽ kpakple kakle la ɖe xeviʋu la me le zea me.
But the other living one, with the cedar wood, and the scarlet, and the hyssop, he shall dip in the blood of the immolated sparrow.
7 Ekema nunɔla la ahlẽ ʋu la ɖe ame si ŋu kpodɔ la vɔ le la ŋu zi adre. Nunɔla la aɖe gbeƒã be amea ŋu kɔ azɔ, eye wòaɖe asi le xevi gbagbe la ŋu wòadzo adzo.
And he shall sprinkle him who is to be cleansed seven times, so that he may be purified justly. And he shall release the living sparrow, so that it may fly away into the field.
8 “Ame si ŋu wokɔ la, anya eƒe awuwo, aƒlɔ eƒe taɖa katã ɖa, ale tsi, eye wòayi aɖanɔ asaɖa la me azɔ. Ke anɔ eƒe agbadɔ godo ŋkeke adre.
And when the man will have washed his clothes, he shall shave all the hair from his body, and he shall be washed with water. And having been purified, he shall enter into the camp, only to this extent: that he may remain outside his own tent for seven days.
9 Le ŋkeke adrea gbe la, agaƒlɔ eƒe taɖa ƒioƒioƒio, alũ eƒe ge kple eƒe adzugo, anya eƒe awuwo, ale tsi, ekema woabui be kpodɔ la vɔ le eŋu azɔ keŋkeŋ.
And on the seventh day he shall shave the hair of his head, and his beard, and his eyebrows, as well as the hair of his entire body. And having washed his clothes again, and his body,
10 “Ne ŋu ke si anye ŋkeke enyia gbe la, amea ana alẽvi eve siwo de blibo, alẽnɔe ɖeka si xɔ ƒe ɖeka, eye wòde blibo, wɔ memee kilogram atɔ̃ si dzi wokɔ ami ɖo kple ami lita ɖeka ƒe akpa etɔ̃lia.
on the eighth day, he shall take two immaculate lambs, and a one-year-old female sheep without blemish, and three tenths of fine wheat flour, which has been sprinkled with oil, as a sacrifice, and separately, one twelfth hin of oil.
11 Nunɔla si doe kpɔ la atsɔ amea kple eƒe nunana aɖo Yehowa ŋkume le Agbadɔ la ƒe mɔnu.
And when the priest purifying the man has presented him and all these things in the sight of the Lord at the door of the tabernacle of the testimony,
12 Nunɔla la atsɔ alẽawo dometɔ ɖeka kple ami lita ɖeka ƒe akpa etɔ̃lia la, eye wòatsɔ wo ana Yehowa abe fɔɖivɔsa ene to wo nyenye le yame le vɔsamlekpui la ŋgɔ me.
he shall take a lamb and offer it for transgression, with the twelfth hin of oil. And having offered all these before the Lord,
13 Awu alẽ la le afi si wowua nu vɔ̃ ŋuti vɔsalãwo kple numevɔsalãwo le, le Agbadɔ la me. Woatsɔ fɔɖivɔsa sia ana nunɔla la abe eƒe nuɖuɖu ene, abe ale si wowɔna le nu vɔ̃ ŋuti vɔsa me ene. Enye vɔsa kɔkɔe ƒe vɔsa kɔkɔe.
he shall immolate the lamb, where the victim for sin is usually immolated with the holocaust, that is, in the holy place. For just as with the one for sin, so also the victim for transgression belongs to the priest. It is the Holy of holies.
14 Nunɔla la asisi fɔɖivɔsalã la ƒe ʋu ƒe ɖe ɖe ame si ŋuti kɔm wòle la ƒe ɖusito ŋu, ɖe eƒe ɖusisi ƒe degblefetsu ŋu kple eƒe ɖusifɔ ƒe degblefetsu ŋu.
And taking some of the blood of the victim, which was immolated for transgression, the priest shall place it upon the tip of the right ear of him who is being cleansed, and upon the thumb of his right hand, and likewise the foot.
15 Emegbe nunɔla la akɔ ami la ɖe eya ŋutɔ ƒe miasiƒome.
And he shall send some of the twelfth hin of oil into his own left hand,
16 Nunɔla la atsɔ eƒe nuɖusi ƒe asibidɛ ɖeka ade ami la me, eye wòahlẽe kple eƒe asibidɛ zi adre le Yehowa ŋkume.
and he shall dip his right finger in it, and he shall sprinkle it in the sight of the Lord seven times.
17 Nunɔla la asisi ami si susɔ ɖe eƒe miasiƒome la ɖe amea ƒe ɖusito kple eƒe ɖusisi ƒe adegblefetsu kple eƒe ɖusifɔ ƒe adegblefetsu ŋu, abe ale si wòwɔ kple fɔɖivɔsalã la ƒe ʋu ene.
But the oil which remains in his left hand, he shall pour over the tip of the right ear of him who is being cleansed, and upon the thumb of his right hand as well as the foot, and upon the blood which was shed for transgression,
18 Atsɔ ami si gasusɔ ɖe eƒe miasiƒome la asi ɖe ta nɛ. Ale nunɔla la alé avu ɖe enu le Yehowa ŋkume.
and upon his head.
19 “Le esia megbe la, nunɔla la asa nu vɔ̃ vɔsa la, eye wòagalé avu le ame si ŋu kɔm wòle tso kpodɔ si me la nu. Nunɔla la awu numevɔsalã la,
And he shall pray for him in the sight of the Lord, and he shall accomplish the sacrifice on behalf of sin. Then he shall immolate the holocaust,
20 eye wòatsɔ nuɖuvɔsa akpe ɖe eŋu atsɔ sa vɔe le vɔsamlekpui la dzi, alé avu ɖe amea nu, ekema woagblɔ be amea ŋuti kɔ keŋkeŋ azɔ.
and place it upon the altar with its libations, and the man will be duly cleansed.
21 “Ne amea da ahe ale gbegbe be mate ŋu ana alẽvi eve o la, ekema ana agbovi ɖeka ko na fɔɖivɔsa la be woatsɔ ana Yehowa hena avuléle to enyenye le yame le vɔsamlekpui la ŋgɔ me. Nu siwo agakpe ɖe esia ŋu koe nye wɔ memee kilogram ɖeka si dzi wokɔ ami ɖo hena nuɖuvɔsa la kple amitimi lita ɖeka ƒe akpa etɔ̃lia.
But if he is poor, and his hand is not able to find what has been said, he shall take a lamb as an offering for transgression, so that the priest may pray for him, and a tenth part of fine wheat flour sprinkled with oil, as a sacrifice, and a twelfth hin of oil,
22 “Ele be wòagana akpakpa eve alo ahɔnɛvi eve, wo dometɔ si wòate ŋu ana ko. Woatsɔ xeviawo dometɔ ɖeka asa nu vɔ̃ vɔsa, eye woatsɔ evelia asa numevɔ.
and two turtledoves or two young pigeons, of which one may be for sin, and the other as a holocaust.
23 Amea atsɔ wo vɛ na nunɔla la le Agbadɔ la ƒe mɔnu le ŋkeke enyia gbe hena eŋutikɔkɔ le Yehowa ŋkume.
And he shall offer them on the eighth day of his purification to the priest at the door of the tabernacle of the testimony in the sight of the Lord.
24 Nunɔla la atsɔ alẽvi kple amitimi lita ɖeka ƒe akpa etɔ̃lia la asa fɔɖivɔ, eye wòanye wo le vɔsamlekpui la ŋgɔ abe wo tsɔtsɔ na Yehowa ƒe dzesi ene.
And he, receiving the lamb for transgression, and the twelfth hin of oil, shall lift them up together.
25 Emegbe la, awu alẽvi la na fɔɖivɔsa la, eye wòasi ʋu la ƒe ɖe ɖe ame si ŋu kɔm wòle la ƒe ɖusito ŋu kple eƒe ɖusisi ƒe degblefetsu dzi kple eƒe ɖusifɔ ƒe degblefetsu dzi.
And when the lamb has been immolated, he shall place some of its blood upon the tip of the right ear of him who is being cleansed, and upon the thumb of his right hand, as well as the foot.
26 Azɔ la, nunɔla la atrɔ ami la akɔ ɖe eya ŋutɔ ƒe miasiƒome,
Yet truly, he shall send part of the oil into his own left hand,
27 eye wòatsɔ eƒe ɖusi ƒe asibidɛ ɖeka ahlẽ ami la ƒe ɖe zi adre le Yehowa ŋkume.
and dipping the finger of his right hand in it, he shall sprinkle it seven times before the Lord.
28 Ekema asi ami si le eƒe asiƒome la ƒe ɖe ɖe eƒe ɖusito ŋu kple eƒe ɖusisi ƒe adegblefetsu kple eƒe ɖusifɔ ƒe adegblefetsu dzi, abe ale si wòwɔ kple nu vɔ̃ ŋuti vɔsa la ƒe ʋu ene.
And he shall touch the tip of the right ear of him who is being cleansed, and the thumb of his right hand, as well as the foot, in the place of the blood which was shed for transgression.
29 Nunɔla la atsɔ ami si susɔ ɖe eƒe asiƒome la asi na ame si ŋu kɔm wòle la ƒe ta, atsɔ alé avu ɖe enu le Yehowa ŋkume.
But the remaining part of the oil which is in his left hand, he shall send upon the head of the one being purified, to appease the Lord on his behalf.
30 Azɔ la, ana akpakpa eveawo alo ahɔnɛvi eveawo, wo dometɔ si wòate ŋui ko.
And he shall offer a turtledove or a young pigeon,
31 Woatsɔ xeviawo dometɔ ɖeka asa nu vɔ̃ vɔsa, eye woatsɔ evelia asa numevɔ kpe ɖe nuɖuvɔ ŋu. Nunɔla la alé avu ɖe amea nu le Yehowa ŋkume.”
one for transgression, and the other as a holocaust, with their libations.
32 Esiawoe nye se siwo ku ɖe ŋutigbalẽdɔléla siwo mate ŋu axe fe ɖe vɔsasa siwo woɖo hena wo ŋutikɔkɔ o la ŋu.
This is the sacrifice of a leper, who is not able to obtain all of the things concerning his cleansing.
33 Yehowa gblɔ na Mose kple Aron be,
And the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying:
34 “Ne mieɖo Kanaanyigba, afi si mele tsɔtsɔm na mi be wòanye mia tɔ dzi, eye meda kpodɔ ɖe aƒe aɖe me le anyigba la dzi la,
When you will have entered into the land of Canaan, which I will give to you as a possession, if there is the mark of leprosy in a building,
35 ekema ele be aƒea tɔ nava gblɔ na nunɔla la be, ‘Edze nam abe ɖe kpodɔ le nye aƒe me ene!’
he whose house it is shall go and report to the priest, saying: “It seems to me that the mark of leprosy is in my house.”
36 Nunɔla la ana woafɔ nu sia nu ado goe le aƒea me hafi wòalé ŋku ɖe aƒea ŋu, ale be nu siwo le aƒea me la dometɔ aɖeke magazu nu makɔmakɔ ne ekpɔ be kpodɔ le aƒea me o.
And he shall instruct them to carry all things out of the house, before he would enter it and see whether it is leprosy, lest all that is in the house become unclean. And after this, he shall enter to examine the leprosy of the house.
37 Ne ekpɔ aŋgbamu ƒe teƒe kple teƒe dzĩ aɖewo le aƒea me ƒe gliwo ŋu, eye teƒe mawo dze abe ɖe wonye ɖe eme vie ene la,
And when he will have seen in its walls something like little hollows, deformed with paleness or redness, and lower than the remaining surface,
38 ele be nunɔla la natu aƒe la ŋkeke adre,
he shall exit by the door of the house, and immediately close it up for seven days.
39 eye wòatrɔ ava le ŋkeke adrea gbe be wòagalé ŋku ɖe aƒea ŋu. Ne teƒeawo keke ɖe edzi le gliawo ŋu la,
And returning on the seventh day, he shall examine it. If he finds that the leprosy has spread,
40 ekema nunɔla la ana woadza teƒe mawo ɖa le gliawo ŋu, eye woalɔ gli kakawo aɖakɔ ɖe teƒe makɔmakɔ aɖe le dua godo.
he shall order the stones in which the leprosy is, to be dug out and cast outside the city in an unclean place,
41 Le esia megbe la, ana woaka xɔa me ƒe gliwo ŋu nyuie, eye woalɔ gli kakawo aɖakɔ ɖe teƒe makɔmakɔ aɖe le dua godo.
and that the house be scraped on the inside all around, and that the dust of the scrapings be scattered outside the city in an unclean place,
42 Woatsɔ kpe yeyewo aɖɔli kpe xoxo siwo woho le gliawo me, eye woagbugbɔ gliawo ŋu azrɔ̃.
and that other stones be put back, in place of those which had been taken away, and that the house be plastered with other mortar.
43 “Ne aŋgbamu teƒe kple teƒe dzĩawo gadze la,
But if, after the stones have been dug out, and the dust wiped away, and it is plastered with other clay,
44 nunɔla la agava alé ŋku ɖe wo ŋu, eye ne ekpɔ be wokeke ɖe edzi la, ekema atso nya me be kpodɔe, eye aƒea ŋu mekɔ o.
the priest, upon entering, will have seen that the leprosy has returned, and that the walls are sprinkled with spots, then it is a persistent leprosy and the house is unclean.
45 Ana woagbã xɔ la, eye woalɔ kpeawo, atiawo kple anyi la aɖakɔ ɖe teƒe makɔmakɔ aɖe le dua godo.
And so they shall promptly destroy it, and shall cast its stones and timber, and also all the dust, outside the town in an unclean place.
46 “Ame sia ame si ge ɖe aƒea me le esime wotui la, ŋu mekɔ o va se ɖe fiẽ.
Whoever enters into the house when it is closed up shall be unclean until evening.
47 Ele na ame sia ame si mlɔ aƒea me alo ɖu nu le eme la be wòanya eƒe awuwo.
And whoever will have slept in it, or eaten anything, shall wash his clothes.
48 “Ke ne nunɔla la va zi evelia be yealé ŋku ɖe aƒea ŋu, eye teƒeawo megadze le gliawo ŋu zɔzrɔ̃ megbe o la, ekema atso nya me be aƒea ŋu kɔ, eye kpodɔ la megali o.
But if the priest, upon entering, will have seen that the leprosy has not spread in the house, after it had been newly plastered, he shall purify it, restoring it to health.
49 Atsɔ xevi eve, sedati, ka dzĩ kple kakle awɔ nuŋukɔkɔ ƒe wɔnawoe.
And for its purification, he shall take two sparrows, and cedar wood, and vermillion, as well as hyssop,
50 Awu xeviawo dometɔ ɖeka ɖe ze si me tsi nyui le la me.
and, having immolated one sparrow in an earthen vessel over living waters,
51 Ekema atsɔ sedati la, kakle la, ka dzĩ la kple xevi gbagbe la ade xevi si wowu la ƒe ʋu kple tsi nyui me, eye wòahlẽe ɖe aƒea ŋu zi adre.
he shall take the cedar wood, and the hyssop, and the scarlet, and the living sparrow, and he shall dip all these in the blood of the immolated sparrow, and also in the living water, and he shall sprinkle the house seven times.
52 Akɔ aƒea ŋu kple xevi la ƒe ʋu, tsi nyui la, xevi gbagbe la, sedati la kple kakle kple ka dzĩ la.
And he shall purify it as much with the blood of the sparrow as with the living water, and with the living sparrow, and the cedar wood, and the hyssop, and the vermillion.
53 Aɖe asi le xevi gbagbe la ŋu wòadzo ayi gbe me le du la godo. Mɔ sia dzie wòato aɖe vɔ̃ ɖa le aƒe la ŋu, eye wòakɔ eŋuti.”
And when he has released the sparrow to fly freely away into the field, he shall pray for the house, and it shall be justly cleansed.
54 Esiawoe nye se siwo ku ɖe teƒe vovovo siwo kpodɔ ado ɖo la ŋu,
This is the law of every kind of leprosy and plague:
55 le awu me loo alo le xɔ ŋu,
of the leprosy of garments and houses,
56 le nutete teƒe, dzobi teƒe loo alo teƒe dzĩ aɖe le ame ƒe ŋutilã ŋu.
of scars and erupting pustules, of a shining spot, when the appearance is also variegated,
57 Miato mɔ sia dzi anya nenye kpodɔe loo alo menye eyae o. Nu sia tae wona se siawo ɖo.
so that it can be known at what time a thing is clean or unclean.
