Mose 3 22
1 Yehowa gblɔ na Mose bena,
And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
2 “Gblɔ na Aron kple via ŋutsuwo be woade bubu vɔsa kɔkɔe siwo ŋu Israelviwo kɔ nam la ŋu, ale be womaƒo ɖi nye ŋkɔ kɔkɔe la o. Nyee nye Yehowa.
Speak to Aaron and to his sons, that they separate themselves from the holy things of the sons of Israel, which they hallow to me, and that they not profane my holy name. I am Jehovah.
3 “Tso azɔ dzi yi mavɔmavɔ me la, ne nunɔla aɖe si ŋu mekɔ o, tsɔ lã siwo amewo tsɔ va sa vɔe alo ka asi nu si Israelviwo tsɔ vɛ na Yehowa ŋu la, woaɖe nunɔlanyenye la le edzi, elabena nyee nye Yehowa.
Say to them, Whoever he is of all your seed throughout your generations, that approaches to the holy things, which the sons of Israel hallow to Jehovah, having his uncleanness upon him, that soul shall be cut off from before me. I am Jehovah.
4 “‘Ne Aron viwo dometɔ aɖe nye kpodɔléla alo dze abi si le tsi tsyɔm la, mekpɔ mɔ aɖu vɔsanu kɔkɔewo o va se ɖe esime eƒe lãme nasẽ. Ne nunɔla aɖe ka asi ame kuku aɖe ŋu alo ŋutsu si nye tsi, eye eŋu mekɔ o ŋu,
Whatever man of the seed of Aaron being a man with a leprous disease, or has an issue, he shall not eat of the holy things until he is clean. And whoever touches anything that is unclean by the dead, or a man whose seed goes from him,
5 alo wòka asi lã tata alo lã makɔmakɔ aɖe ŋu alo wòka asi ame si ŋuti mekɔ o le nane ta la,
or whoever touches any creeping thing, by which he may be made unclean, or a man of whom he may take uncleanness, whatever uncleanness he has,
6 nunɔla ma ŋu mekɔ o va se ɖe fiẽ, eye maɖu vɔsanu kɔkɔe aɖeke o va se ɖe esime wòale tsi le fiẽ hafi.
the soul that touches any such shall be unclean until the evening. And shall not eat of the holy things unless he bathe his flesh in water.
7 Ne ɣe ɖo to la, ekema eŋu akɔ, eye wòate ŋu aɖu nu kɔkɔe la azɔ, elabena eya dzie wòanɔ agbe ɖo.
And when the sun is down, he shall be clean, and afterward he shall eat of the holy things, because it is his bread.
8 Mekpɔ mɔ aɖu lã aɖeke si ku le eɖokui si alo lã si lã wɔadã aɖe vuvu o, elabena nu sia ana wòagblẽ kɔ ɖo na eɖokui. Nyee nye Yehowa.
That which dies of itself, or is torn by beasts, he shall not eat to defile himself with it. I am Jehovah.
9 “‘Gblɔ na nunɔlawo be woawɔ se siawo dzi nyuie, ne menye nenema o la, woaɖi fɔ, eye woaku le se siawo dzi dada ta. Nyee nye Yehowa, ame si kɔ wo ŋuti.
They shall therefore keep my charge, lest they bear sin for it, and die in it if they profane it. I am Jehovah who sanctifies them.
10 “‘Ame si menye nunɔla o la mekpɔ mɔ aɖu vɔsanu kɔkɔe la o. Nunɔla ƒe amedzro alo agbatedɔwɔla mekpɔ mɔ aɖu nu sia o.
There shall no stranger eat of the holy thing. A sojourner of the priest's, or a hired servant, shall not eat of the holy thing.
11 Ke ame bubu siwo ate ŋu aɖui koe nye kluvi si nunɔla aɖe ƒle kple eya ŋutɔ ƒe ga kple vi siwo kluvi la dzi le nunɔla la ƒe aƒe me.
But if a priest buys any soul, the purchase of his money, he shall eat of it, and such as are born in his house, they shall eat of his bread.
12 Ne nunɔla aɖe ƒe vinyɔnu ɖe srɔ̃ tso to bubu me la, mekpɔ mɔ aɖu nu kɔkɔe la o.
And if a priest's daughter be married to a stranger, she shall not eat of the heave offering of the holy things.
13 Ke ne enye ahosi alo eƒe srɔ̃ɖeɖe me gblẽ, viŋutsu aɖeke mele esi akpɔ edzi o, eye wògatrɔ va fofoa ƒe aƒe me la, ekema agate ŋu akpɔ gome le fofoa ƒe nuɖuɖu me. Le ame siawo megbe la, ame siwo mele nunɔlawo ƒe ƒomewo me o la mekpɔ mɔ aɖu nu sia o.
But if a priest's daughter be a widow, or divorced, and have no child, and is returned to her father's house, as in her youth, she shall eat of her father's bread, but there shall no stranger eat of it.
14 “‘Ne amedzro aɖe ɖu nu kɔkɔe la le ŋuɖeɖi me la, axe nu si wòɖu la ƒe fe na nunɔla, eye wòatsɔ home la ƒe memama atɔ̃lia ƒe ɖeka akpe ɖe eŋu,
And if a man eats of the holy thing unwittingly, then he shall put the fifth part of it to it, and shall give the holy thing to the priest.
15 elabena ame siwo mekpɔ mɔ aɖu vɔsanu kɔkɔe la o la magblẽ kɔ ɖo na vɔsanu kɔkɔe siwo Israelviwo tsɔ vɛ la o, elabena Yehowae wotsɔ vɔsanu siawo vɛ na.
And they shall not profane the holy things of the sons of Israel, which they offer to Jehovah,
16 Ne ame aɖe da le se sia dzi la, eɖi fɔ, eye wòde eɖokui dzɔgbevɔ̃e gã aɖe me, elabena eɖu nunana kɔkɔe la, elabena nyee nye Yehowa, ame si kɔa nunanawo ŋuti.’”
and so cause them to bear the iniquity that brings guilt when they eat their holy things, for I am Jehovah who sanctifies them.
17 Yehowa gblɔ na Mose be,
And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
18 “Ƒo nu na Aron kple via ŋutsuwo kple Israelviwo katã, eye nàgblɔ na wo be, ‘Ne mia dometɔ aɖe, dzɔleaƒea alo amedzro si le Isreal sa numevɔ na Yehowa abe adzɔgbeɖefexexe ene loo alo nunana le lɔlɔ̃nu ene la,
Speak to Aaron, and to his sons, and to all the sons of Israel, and say to them, Whoever he is of the house of Israel, or of the sojourners in Israel, who offers his oblation, whether it be any of their vows, or any of their freewill offerings, which they offer to Jehovah for a burnt offering,
19 Yehowa axɔe, ne enye lãtsu si de blibo, eye wònye nyitsuvi fɛ̃ alo alẽ alo gbɔ̃.
that ye may be accepted, ye shall offer a male without blemish, of the bullocks, of the sheep, or of the goats.
20 Mele be woana nu si ŋu kpɔtsɔtsɔ aɖeke le la o, elabena Mawu maxɔe o.
But whatever has a blemish, that ye shall not offer, for it shall not be acceptable for you.
21 Ne ame aɖe be yeasa akpedavɔ na Yehowa tso eƒe lãhawo me, abe adzɔgbeɖefexexe ene loo alo abe nu si tso eƒe dzi me nana ko ene la, ele be wòana lã aɖe si de blibo. Ne mele alea o la, Yehowa maxɔ eƒe nunana la o.
And whoever offers a sacrifice of peace offerings to Jehovah to accomplish a vow, or for a freewill offering, of the herd or of the flock, it shall be perfect to be accepted; there shall be no blemish in it.
22 Womatsɔ lã si nye ŋkuagbãtɔ alo lã si afi aɖe gblẽ na alo lã si dze abi alo akpa alo le ŋutigbalẽmedɔ bubu aɖe lém la vɛ na Yehowa o. Medze na numevɔsa le Yehowa ƒe vɔsamlekpui la dzi o.
Blind, or broken, or maimed, or having a skin tumor, or scurvy, or scabbed, ye shall not offer these to Jehovah, nor make an offering by fire of them upon the altar to Jehovah.
23 Ne nane de gbɔ edzi alo nane mede tututu o le nyitsu alo alẽ si wotsɔ vɛ ƒe ŋutilã ŋu la, woate ŋu anae abe lɔlɔ̃nununana ene, ke menye hena adzɔgbeɖefexexe o.
Either a bullock or a lamb that has anything superfluous or lacking in his parts, that thou may offer for a freewill offering, but it shall not be accepted for a vow.
24 Womatsɔ lã si nuvevi wɔ voku na alo lã si wota la ana Yehowa ɣe aɖeke ɣi o.
That which has its testicles bruised, or crushed, or broken, or cut, ye shall not offer to Jehovah, neither shall ye do thus in your land.
25 Amedzro siwo le mia dome kple Israelviwo siaa woawɔ se siawo dzi le vɔsanuwo nana me, elabena Mawu maxɔ lã si ŋu nane gblẽ le la na vɔsa sia o.’”
Neither from the hand of a foreigner shall ye offer the bread of your God of any of these, because their corruption is in them; there is a blemish in them. They shall not be accepted for you.
26 Yehowa gblɔ na Mose be,
And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
27 “Ne wodzi nyivi alo alẽvi alo gbɔ̃vi aɖe la, woana wòanɔ dadaa gbɔ ŋkeke adre. Tso ŋkeke enyilia dzi la, woaxɔe abe dzovɔsa ene na Yehowa.
When a bullock, or a sheep, or a goat, is brought forth, then it shall be seven days under the dam, and from the eighth day and after that it shall be accepted for the oblation of an offering made by fire to Jehovah.
28 Mègawu nyi alo alẽ kple via le ŋkeke ɖeka dzi o.
And whether it be cow or ewe, ye shall not kill it and its young both in one day.
29 “Ne èsa akpedavɔ na Yehowa la, sae ale be woate ŋu axɔe na wò.
And when ye sacrifice a sacrifice of thanksgiving to Jehovah, ye shall sacrifice it that ye may be accepted.
30 Ele be woaɖui gbe ma gbe ke; mègagblẽ eƒe ɖeke ɖi va se ɖe ŋdi o. Nyee nye Yehowa.
It shall be eaten on the same day. Ye shall leave none of it until the morning. I am Jehovah.
31 “Ele be mialé nye seawo me ɖe asi, eye miawɔ wo dzi. Nyee nye Yehowa.
Therefore ye shall keep my commandments, and do them. I am Jehovah.
32 Migaƒo ɖi nye ŋkɔ kɔkɔe la o. Ele be Israelviwo nabum ame kɔkɔe. Nyee nye Yehowa, ame si wɔ mi kɔkɔe,
And ye shall not profane my holy name, but I will be hallowed among the sons of Israel. I am Jehovah who hallows you,
33 eye mekplɔ mi tso Egipte be manye miaƒe Mawu. Nyee nye Yehowa.”
who brought you out of the land of Egypt, to be your God. I am Jehovah.
