Mose 3 16

1 Yehowa ƒo nu na Mose le Aron ƒe viŋutsu eveawo ƒe ku megbe esime wote ɖe Yehowa ŋu.

And YHWH speaks to Moses after the death of the two sons of Aaron, in their drawing near before YHWH, and they die;

2 Yehowa gblɔ na Mose be, “Gblɔ na nɔviwò, Aron be megayi Kɔkɔeƒe la le xɔmetsovɔ la megbe le nutsyɔnu si le nubablaɖaka la ŋgɔ ɣe sia ɣi si dze eŋu o, ne menye nenema o la, aku, elabena medzena le lilikpo me le nutsyɔnu la tame.

indeed, YHWH says to Moses, “Speak to your brother Aaron, and he does not come in at all times to the holy place within the veil, to the front of the propitiatory covering, which [is] on the Ark, and he does not die, for I am seen in a cloud on the propitiatory covering.

3 “Aron age ɖe Kɔkɔeƒe la me ale: atsɔ nyitsuvi ɖe asi hena nu vɔ̃ ŋuti vɔsa kple agbo hena numevɔsa.

With this Aaron comes into the holy place: with a bullock, a son of the herd, for a sin-offering, and a ram for a burnt-offering;

4 Ado kɔmewu kɔkɔe la, eye wòado aklalawutewuiawo ɖe ete. Emegbe la, atsɔ aklalalidziblanu la abla ɖe eɖokui ŋu, eye wòatsɔ aklalatablanu la abla tae. Nu siawo nye awu kɔkɔewo, eya ta ele nɛ be wòale tsi hafi ado wo.

he puts on a holy linen coat, and linen trousers are on his flesh, and he girds himself with a linen girdle, and he wraps himself up with a linen turban; they [are] holy garments; and he has bathed his flesh with water and put them on.

5 Israelviwo ana gbɔ̃tsu eve hena woƒe nu vɔ̃ ŋuti vɔsa kple agbo ɖeka hena woƒe numevɔsa.

And from the congregation of the sons of Israel he takes two kids of the goats for a sin-offering and one ram for a burnt-offering;

6 “Gbã la, ele be wòatsɔ nyitsuvi fɛ̃ la asa nu vɔ̃ vɔsa na Yehowa ɖe eɖokui ta, eye wòalé avu ɖe eya ŋutɔ kple eƒe ƒomea ta.

and Aaron has brought the bullock of the sin-offering near, which is his own, and has made atonement for himself and for his house;

7 Emegbe la, akplɔ gbɔ̃tsu eveawo ava Yehowa ŋkume le Agbadɔ la ƒe mɔnu,

and he has taken the two goats, and has caused them to stand before YHWH, at the opening of the Tent of Meeting.

8 eye wòadzidze nu, anya gbɔ̃tsu si nye Yehowa tɔ kple esi nye Azazel tɔ, si ŋu wòaɖe asi le.

And Aaron has given lots over the two goats, one lot for YHWH and one lot for a goat of departure;

9 Aron asa nu vɔ̃ vɔsa kple gbɔ̃tsu si nye Yehowa tɔ.

and Aaron has brought the goat near, on which the lot for YHWH has gone up, and has made it a sin-offering.

10 Woatsɔ gbɔ̃tsu evelia si nye Azazel tɔ la agbagbe ava Yehowa ŋkume. Woaɖe dukɔwo ƒe nu vɔ̃wo ada ɖe edzi, eye woanyae ɖo ɖe Azazel gbɔ le gbedzi.

And the goat on which the lot for a goat of departure has gone up is caused to stand living before YHWH to make atonement by it, to send it away for a goat of departure into the wilderness.

11 “Ne Aron tsɔ nyitsu la sa nu vɔ̃ vɔsa ɖe eya ŋutɔ kple eƒe ƒometɔwo ta vɔ la,

And Aaron has brought the bullock of the sin-offering near, which is his own, and has made atonement for himself and for his house, and has slaughtered the bullock of the sin-offering which [is] his own,

12 atsɔ dzoɖesonu, aɖe aka xɔxɔwo tso Yehowa ƒe vɔsamlekpui dzi ade eme, eye wòalɔ dzudzɔdonu si wotu memie la ƒe asiʋlo eve ayi xɔmetsovɔ la godo.

and has taken the fullness of the censer of burning coals of fire from off the altar, from before YHWH, and the fullness of his hands of thin spice-incense, and has brought [it] within the veil;

13 Atsɔ dzudzɔdonu la akɔ ɖe dzoka xɔxɔawo dzi le afi ma, le Yehowa ŋkume, ale be dzudzɔdonu la ƒe dzudzɔ naxɔ amenuvevezikpui la dzi le nubablaɖaka la tame, ale be magakpɔ nubablaɖaka la tame ne wòaku o.

and he has put the incense on the fire before YHWH, and the cloud of the incense has covered the propitiatory covering which [is] on the Testimony, and he does not die.

14 Atsɔ nyitsu la ƒe ʋu ƒe ɖe ade asibidɛ eme, eye wòahlẽ ʋu la ɖe amenuvevezikpui la ƒe ɣedzeƒe lɔƒo, eye wòagahlẽe zi adre ɖe eŋgɔ.

And he has taken of the blood of the bullock, and has sprinkled with his finger on the front of the propitiatory covering eastward; even at the front of the propitiatory covering he sprinkles seven times of the blood with his finger.

15 “Ekema ado go, eye wòasa nu vɔ̃ vɔsa kple ameawo ƒe gbɔ̃tsu la, eye wòahlẽ eƒe ʋu ɖe xɔmetsovɔ la me, ahlẽe ɖe amenuvevezikpui la dzi kple eŋgɔ abe ale si wòwɔ kple nyitsu la ƒe ʋu ene.

And he has slaughtered the goat of the sin-offering which [is] the people’s, and has brought in its blood to the inside of the veil, and has done with its blood as he has done with the blood of the bullock, and has sprinkled it on the propitiatory covering, and at the front of the propitiatory covering,

16 Ekema aɖe nu vɔ̃ ɖa le teƒe kɔkɔe la ŋu, elabena Israelviwo ƒe nu vɔ̃wo na wòzu nu makɔmakɔ, eye wòagaɖe nu vɔ̃ ɖa le Agbadɔ si le ameawo dome, eye woƒe nu vɔ̃wo ƒo xlãe la hã ŋu.

and he has made atonement for the holy place because of the uncleanness of the sons of Israel, and because of their transgressions in all their sins; and so he does for the Tent of Meeting which is dwelling with them in the midst of their uncleannesses.

17 Ame bubu aɖeke mekpɔ mɔ anɔ Agbadɔ la me ne Aron ge ɖe eme be yeaɖe nu vɔ̃ ɖa le Teƒe Kɔkɔe la ŋu o va se ɖe esime wòalé avu le eya ŋutɔ ɖokui, eƒe aƒemetɔwo kple Israelviwo katã ta, eye wòagado go.

And no man is in the Tent of Meeting in his going in to make atonement in the holy place, until his coming out; and he has made atonement for himself, and for his house, and for all the assembly of Israel.

18 “Azɔ la, ado go ayi vɔsamlekpui la gbɔ le Yehowa ŋkume, eye wòaɖe nu vɔ̃ ɖa le eŋu. Ele be wòasisi nyitsu la kple gbɔ̃tsu la ƒe ʋu ɖe vɔsamlekpui la ƒe lãdzowo ŋu,

And he has gone out to the altar which [is] before YHWH, and has made atonement for it; and he has taken of the blood of the bullock and of the blood of the goat, and has put [it] around the horns of the altar;

19 eye wòahlẽ ʋu la ƒe ɖe ɖe vɔsamlekpui la dzi zi adre kple eƒe asibidɛ. Ale wòakɔ eŋuti tso Israelviwo ƒe nu vɔ̃wo me, eye wòawɔe kɔkɔe.

and he has sprinkled on it of the blood with his finger seven times, and has cleansed it, and has hallowed it from the uncleannesses of the sons of Israel.

20 “Ne ewu nu vɔ̃wo ɖeɖe ɖa le Teƒe Kɔkɔe la, Agbadɔ blibo la kple vɔsamlekpui la ŋu ƒe wɔnawo nu la, ahe gbɔ̃ gbagbe si wotia na Azazel la vɛ.

And he has ceased from making atonement [for] the holy place, and the Tent of Meeting, and the altar, and has brought the living goat near;

21 Ada eƒe asi eveawo ɖe gbɔ̃tsu la ƒe ta dzi, eye wòaʋu Israelviwo ƒe nu vɔ̃wo katã me ɖe edzi. Adro woƒe nu vɔ̃wo katã ɖe gbɔ̃ la ƒe ta dzi, eye wòana ame aɖe si wotia da ɖi la nakplɔ gbɔ̃ la ayi ɖe gbedzi.

and Aaron has laid his two hands on the head of the living goat, and has confessed over it all the iniquities of the sons of Israel, and all their transgressions in all their sins, and has put them on the head of the goat, and has sent [it] away by the hand of a ready man into the wilderness;

22 Ale gbɔ̃ la atsɔ ameawo ƒe nu vɔ̃wo katã ayi gbedadaƒo, eye ame la aɖe asi le gbɔ̃ la ŋu ɖe gbedadaƒo afi ma.

and the goat has borne on himself all their iniquities to a land of separation. And he has sent the goat away into the wilderness,

23 “Azɔ la, Aron agayi Agbadɔ la me, eye wòaɖe aklalawu siwo wòdo esi wòyi xɔmetsovɔ la godo, eye wòagblẽ wo ɖe afi ma le Agbadɔ la me.

and Aaron has come into the Tent of Meeting, and has stripped off the linen garments which he had put on in his going into the holy place, and has placed them there;

24 Esia megbe la, ale tsi le teƒe kɔkɔe aɖe, agado awuawo, ayi aɖasa eya ŋutɔ ƒe numevɔ kple ameawo ƒe numevɔ, eye wòalé avu ɖe eya ŋutɔ kple ameawo ta.

and he has bathed his flesh with water in the holy place, and has put on his garments, and has come out, and has made his burnt-offering, and the burnt-offering of the people, and has made atonement for himself and for the people;

25 Ekema atɔ dzo nu vɔ̃ ŋuti vɔsalãwo ƒe ami ɖe vɔsamlekpui la dzi.

and with the fat of the sin-offering he makes incense on the altar.

26 “Ame si kplɔ gbɔ̃tsu la yi na Azazel le gbedzi la, agbɔ ava nya eƒe awuwo, ale tsi, eye wòayi asaɖa la me.

And he who is sending the goat away for a goat of departure washes his garments, and has bathed his flesh with water, and afterward he comes into the camp.

27 Woatsɔ nyitsu kple gbɔ̃tsu si Aron tsɔ sa nu vɔ̃ vɔsa, eye wòtsɔ woƒe ʋu yi Teƒe Kɔkɔe la hena avuléle la ayi asaɖa la godo, eye woatɔ dzo wo kpe ɖe woƒe agbalẽ kple dɔmenuwo ŋu.

And the bullock of the sin-offering and the goat of the sin-offering, whose blood has been brought in to make atonement in the holy place, [one] brings out to the outside of the camp, and they have burned their skins, and their flesh, and their dung with fire;

28 Emegbe la, ame si tɔ dzo lãawo la, anya eƒe awuwo, ale tsi, eye wòatrɔ ayi asaɖa la me.

and he who is burning them washes his garments, and has bathed his flesh with water, and afterward he comes into the camp.

29 “Esia nanye ɖoɖo mavɔ na mi: le ɣleti adrelia ƒe ŋkeke ewolia dzi la, ele be miagbe nu le mia ɖokuiwo gbɔ, eye miawɔ dɔ aɖeke o, eɖanye dzɔleaƒea loo alo amedzro si le mia dome o,

And it has been for a continuous statute to you, in the seventh month, on the tenth of the month, you humble yourselves, and do no work—the native and the sojourner who is sojourning in your midst;

30 elabena le ŋkeke sia dzi woalé avu na mi, akɔ mia ŋuti. Ekema le Yehowa ŋkume la, mia ŋuti akɔ tso miaƒe nu vɔ̃wo katã me.

for on this day he makes atonement for you, to cleanse you; you are clean from all your sins before YHWH;

31 Enye dzudzɔgbe na mi, miawɔ ŋkeke la ŋu dɔ na nutsitsidɔ. Esia nye se mavɔ na mi.

it [is] a Sabbath of rest for you, and you have humbled yourselves—a continuous statute.

32 Le dzidzime bubuwo ƒe ɣeyiɣiwo me la, nunɔlagã si wosi ami na, eye wokɔ eŋuti ɖe Tɔgbuia Aron teƒe lae awɔ ŋutikɔkɔ kɔnu sia. Eyae nye ame si ado aklalawu kɔkɔeawo,

And the priest whom he anoints, and whose hand he consecrates to act as priest instead of his father, has made atonement, and has put on the linen garments, the holy garments;

33 eye wòakɔ Teƒe Kɔkɔe la, Agbadɔ la, vɔsamlekpui la, nunɔlawo kple ameawo ŋu.

and he has made atonement [for] the holy sanctuary; and [for] the Tent of Meeting, even [for] the altar he makes atonement; indeed, he makes atonement for the priests and for all the people of the assembly.

34 “Esia anye se mavɔ na mi; woalé avu ɖe Israelviwo ta ƒe sia ƒe le woƒe nu vɔ̃wo ta.” Eye wowɔ abe ale si Yehowa de se na Mose ene. Eye miawɔ abe ale si Yehowa de se na Mose ene.

And this has been for a continuous statute to you, to make atonement for the sons of Israel, because of all their sins, once in a year”; and he does as YHWH has commanded Moses.
