Mose 3 22
1 Yehowa gblɔ na Mose bena,
Yahweh 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.
“Tell Aaron and his sons to separate themselves from the holy things of the children of Israel, which they make holy to me, and that they not profane my holy name. I am Yahweh.
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.
“Tell them, ‘If anyone of all your offspring throughout your generations approaches the holy things which the children of Israel make holy to Yahweh, having his uncleanness on him, that soul shall be cut off from before me. I am Yahweh.
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,
“‘Whoever of the offspring of Aaron is a leper or has a discharge shall not eat of the holy things until he is clean. Whoever touches anything that is unclean by the dead, or a man who has a seminal emission,
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 from whom he may become unclean, 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 person that touches any such shall be unclean until the evening, and shall not eat of the holy things unless he bathes his body 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.
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.
He shall not eat that which dies of itself or is torn by animals, defiling himself by it. I am Yahweh.
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 follow my commandment, lest they bear sin for it and die in it, if they profane it. I am Yahweh 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.
“‘No stranger shall eat of the holy thing: a foreigner living with the priests, 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 a slave, purchased by his money, he shall eat of it; and those who are born in his house 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.
If a priest’s daughter is married to an outsider, 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 is a widow, or divorced, and has no child, and has returned to her father’s house as in her youth, she may eat of her father’s bread; but no stranger shall eat any 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,
“‘If a man eats something holy unwittingly, then he shall add the fifth part of its value 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.
The priests shall not profane the holy things of the children of Israel, which they offer to Yahweh,
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 Yahweh who sanctifies them.’”
17 Yehowa gblɔ na Mose be,
Yahweh 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 children of Israel, and say to them, ‘Whoever is of the house of Israel, or of the foreigners in Israel, who offers his offering, whether it is any of their vows or any of their free will offerings, which they offer to Yahweh for a burnt offering:
19 Yehowa axɔe, ne enye lãtsu si de blibo, eye wònye nyitsuvi fɛ̃ alo alẽ alo gbɔ̃.
that you may be accepted, you shall offer a male without defect, of the bulls, of the sheep, or of the goats.
20 Mele be woana nu si ŋu kpɔtsɔtsɔ aɖeke le la o, elabena Mawu maxɔe o.
But you shall not offer whatever has a defect, 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.
Whoever offers a sacrifice of peace offerings to Yahweh to accomplish a vow, or for a free will offering of the herd or of the flock, it shall be perfect to be accepted. It shall have no defect.
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.
You shall not offer what is blind, is injured, is maimed, has a wart, is festering, or has a running sore to Yahweh, nor make an offering by fire of them on the altar to Yahweh.
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 bull or a lamb that has any deformity or lacking in his parts, that you may offer for a free will offering; but for a vow it shall not be accepted.
24 Womatsɔ lã si nuvevi wɔ voku na alo lã si wota la ana Yehowa ɣe aɖeke ɣi o.
You must not offer to Yahweh that which has its testicles bruised, crushed, broken, or cut. You must not do this 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.’”
You must not offer any of these as the bread of your God from the hand of a foreigner, because their corruption is in them. There is a defect in them. They shall not be accepted for you.’”
26 Yehowa gblɔ na Mose be,
Yahweh 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 bull, a sheep, or a goat is born, it shall remain seven days with its mother. From the eighth day on it shall be accepted for the offering of an offering made by fire to Yahweh.
28 Mègawu nyi alo alẽ kple via le ŋkeke ɖeka dzi o.
Whether it is a cow or ewe, you 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.
“When you sacrifice a sacrifice of thanksgiving to Yahweh, you shall sacrifice it so that you 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; you shall leave none of it until the morning. I am Yahweh.
31 “Ele be mialé nye seawo me ɖe asi, eye miawɔ wo dzi. Nyee nye Yehowa.
“Therefore you shall keep my commandments, and do them. I am Yahweh.
32 Migaƒo ɖi nye ŋkɔ kɔkɔe la o. Ele be Israelviwo nabum ame kɔkɔe. Nyee nye Yehowa, ame si wɔ mi kɔkɔe,
You shall not profane my holy name, but I will be made holy among the children of Israel. I am Yahweh who makes you holy,
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 Yahweh.”
