Mose 3 17

1 Yehowa gblɔ na Mose be,

And Yhwh spake unto Moses, saying,

2 “Ƒo nu na Aron kple via ŋutsuwo kple Israelviwo katã, eye nàgblɔ na wo be, ‘Esiae nye se si Yehowa de:

Speak unto Aaron, and unto his sons, and unto all the children of Israel, and say unto them; This is the thing which Yhwh hath commanded, saying,

3 Israelvi ɖe sia ɖe si asa vɔ kple nyitsu, alẽvi alo gbɔ̃ le asaɖa la me alo egodo

What man soever there be of the house of Israel, that killeth an ox, or lamb, or goat, in the camp, or that killeth it out of the camp,

4 le esime wòatsɔe ava Mawu ƒe Agbadɔ la nu bena woasa vɔ na Yehowa le Yehowa ƒe Agbadɔ la ƒe ŋkume teƒe la, woabu ame ma be eɖi fɔ le ʋukɔkɔɖi me. Ekɔ ʋu ɖi, eye ele be woaɖee ɖa le eƒe amewo dome.

And bringeth it not unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, to offer an offering unto Yhwh before the tabernacle of Yhwh; blood shall be imputed unto that man; he hath shed blood; and that man shall be cut off from among his people:

5 Se sia ƒe taɖodzinue nye wòana be Israelviwo magasa vɔ le gbedzi o, ke boŋ wòana be woatsɔ woƒe vɔsanuwo vɛ na nunɔla la le Agbadɔ la ƒe mɔnu, woatɔ dzo ami la abe ʋeʋẽ lĩlĩlĩ ene, wòanye nu si adze Yehowa ŋu, eye wòado dzidzɔ nɛ.

To the end that the children of Israel may bring their sacrifices, which they offer in the open field, even that they may bring them unto Yhwh, unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, unto the priest, and offer them for peace offerings unto Yhwh.

6 Nu sia wɔwɔ ana nunɔla la nate ŋu ahlẽ ʋu la ɖe Yehowa ƒe vɔsamlekpui la dzi, le Agbadɔ la ƒe mɔnu, eye wòatɔ dzo lãwo ƒe ami abe ʋeʋẽ lĩlĩlĩ ene na Yehowa. Nu sia adze Yehowa ŋu eye wòado dzidzɔ nɛ.

And the priest shall sprinkle the blood upon the altar of Yhwh at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, and burn the fat for a sweet savour unto Yhwh.

7 Woawɔ alea, ale be amewo masa vɔ na gbɔgbɔ vɔ̃wo le gbedzi o. Esia anye se na mi tegbetegbe tso dzidzime yi dzidzime.’

And they shall no more offer their sacrifices unto devils, after whom they have gone a whoring. This shall be a statute for ever unto them throughout their generations.

8 “Gblɔ na wo be, ‘Israelvi aɖe alo amedzro aɖe si le mia dome, ame si asa numevɔ alo vɔsa bubu aɖe,

And thou shalt say unto them, Whatsoever man there be of the house of Israel, or of the strangers which sojourn among you, that offereth a burnt offering or sacrifice,

9 eye metsɔe va Mawu ƒe Agbadɔ la nu be wòasa vɔ la na Yehowa o la, woaɖe ame ma ɖa le eƒe amewo dome.

And bringeth it not unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, to offer it unto Yhwh; even that man shall be cut off from among his people.

10 “‘Mado dɔmedzoe ɖe ame sia ame, Israelvi loo alo amedzro si le mia dome, si aɖu lã aɖe ƒe ʋu la ŋu. Maɖee ɖa le eƒe amewo dome.

And whatsoever man there be of the house of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn among you, that eateth any manner of blood; I will even set my face against that soul that eateth blood, and will cut him off from among his people.

11 Esi lã aɖe ƒe agbe le eƒe ʋu me ta la, metsɔ lãwo ƒe ʋu na mi be miahlẽ ɖe vɔsamlekpui la dzi abe miaƒe luʋɔwo ŋuti kɔkɔ ene. Ʋue léa avu, elabena eyae nye agbe la.

For the life of the flesh is in the blood: and I have given it to you upon the altar to make an atonement for your souls: for it is the blood that maketh an atonement for the soul.

12 Nu sia tae mede se na Israelviwo alo amedzro siwo le wo dome la be womekpɔ mɔ aɖu lã aɖeke ƒe ʋu o ɖo.

Therefore I said unto the children of Israel, No soul of you shall eat blood, neither shall any stranger that sojourneth among you eat blood.

13 “‘Ame sia ame, Israelvi loo alo amedzro si le mia dome, si yi adegbe, eye wòwu lã aɖe alo xevi aɖe, si ŋu se ɖe mɔ le be woaɖu la, ele nɛ be wòatsyɔ ʋu la akɔ ɖe anyigba, eye wòakplɔ ke atsyɔ edzi,

And whatsoever man there be of the children of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn among you, which hunteth and catcheth any beast or fowl that may be eaten; he shall even pour out the blood thereof, and cover it with dust.

14 elabena ʋue nye agbe la, eya tae megblɔ na Israelviwo be womaɖui gbeɖegbeɖe o, elabena xevi ɖe sia ɖe kple lã ɖe sia ɖe ƒe agbee nye eƒe ʋu, eya ta ele be woatsrɔ̃ ame sia ame si aɖu lã ƒe ʋu la.

For it is the life of all flesh; the blood of it is for the life thereof: therefore I said unto the children of Israel, Ye shall eat the blood of no manner of flesh: for the life of all flesh is the blood thereof: whosoever eateth it shall be cut off.

15 “‘Kpe ɖe esia ŋu la, ele na ame sia ame, Israelvi alo amedzro, si aɖu lã aɖe si ku le eɖokui si alo lã aɖe si lã lénu aɖe vuvu la, be wòanya eƒe awuwo, ale tsi, eye eƒe ŋuti mekɔ o va se ɖe fiẽ. Esia megbe la, eƒe ŋuti akɔ.

And every soul that eateth that which died of itself, or that which was torn with beasts, whether it be one of your own country, or a stranger, he shall both wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even: then shall he be clean.

16 Ke ne menya eƒe awuwo o, eye mele tsi hã o la, ekema eya ŋutɔ akpɔ eyomedzenu.’”

But if he wash them not, nor bathe his flesh; then he shall bear his iniquity.
