Mose 3 23
1 Yehowa gblɔ na Mose be,
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
2 “Ƒo nu na Israelviwo, eye nàgblɔ na wo be, ‘Esiawoe nye nye ŋkekenyui ɖoɖiwo, Yehowa ƒe ŋkekenyui ɖoɖi siwo miaɖe gbeƒãe abe takpekpe kɔkɔewo ene.
Speak to the sons of Israel, and you shall say to them: These are the feasts of the Lord, which you shall call holy.
3 “‘Esiawo akpe ɖe miaƒe dzudzɔgbewo ŋuti, dzudzɔgbe siawoe nye kɔsiɖa la ƒe ŋkeke adrea gbe, eye wònye ŋkeke siwo dzi miadzudzɔ le ɣe sia ɣi le miaƒe aƒewo me; miakpe ta asubɔm, eye miadzudzɔ tso miaƒe gbe sia gbe dɔwo wɔwɔ me.
For six days you shall do work; the seventh day, because it is the rest of the Sabbath, shall be called holy. You shall do no work on that day; it is the Sabbath of the Lord in all your dwelling places.
4 “‘Esiawoe nye Yehowa ƒe ŋkeke kɔkɔe ɖoanyiawo, takpekpe kɔkɔe siwo miayɔ le ɣeyiɣi ɖoɖiawo dzi.
Therefore, these are the feasts of the Lord, which you must celebrate in their times.
5 Yehowa Ƒe Ŋutitotoŋkekenyui la adze egɔme le ɣleti gbãtɔ ƒe ŋkeke wuienea gbe le fiẽ.
The first month, the fourteenth day of the month, at evening, is the Passover of the Lord.
6 “‘Le ɣleti gbãtɔ ma ke ƒe ŋkeke wuiatɔ̃a gbe la, Yehowa ƒe Abolo Maʋamaʋã ƒe Ŋkekenyui adze egɔme. Hena ŋkeke adre la, miaɖu abolo si me womede amɔʋãtike o.
And the fifteenth day of this month is the solemnity of the unleavened bread of the Lord. For seven days shall you eat unleavened bread.
7 Le ŋkekenyui sia ƒe ŋkeke gbãtɔ dzi la, àƒo ameawo nu ƒu hena mawusubɔsubɔ, eye miawɔ dɔ aɖeke o.
The first day shall be greatly honored and holy to you; you shall do no servile work in it.
8 Hena ŋkeke adre la, miawɔ dzovɔsa na Yehowa, eye le ŋkeke adrelia dzi la, yɔ takpekpe kɔkɔe, eye miawɔ dɔ aɖeke le ŋkeke la dzi o.’”
But you shall offer a sacrifice with fire, for seven days, to the Lord. Then the seventh day shall be more honored and more holy; and you shall do no servile work in it.
9 Yehowa gblɔ na Mose be,
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
10 “Ƒo nu na Israelviwo, eye nàgblɔ na wo be, ‘Ne mieɖo anyigba si mele mia na ge dzi, eye miexa nukuwo la, mitsɔ lu babla gbãtɔ vɛ na nunɔla la.
Speak to the sons of Israel, and you shall say to them: When you will have entered into the land which I will give to you, and you will have harvested your grain fields, you shall carry the sheaves of grain, the first-fruits of your harvest, to the priest.
11 Ele be wòanye lu babla la le yame le Yehowa ŋkume, ale be wòaxɔe na mi. Nunɔla la anyee le Yehowa ŋkume le Dzudzɔgbe la ƒe ŋufɔke.
He shall lift up a sheaf before the Lord, on the day after the Sabbath, so that it may be acceptable for you, and he shall sanctify it.
12 Gbe ma gbe ke miatsɔ alẽvi si xɔ ƒe ɖeka, eye wòle blibo la asa numevɔe na Yehowa.
And on the same day that the sheaf is consecrated, a one-year-old immaculate lamb shall be slain as a holocaust of the Lord.
13 Miatsɔ wɔ memee kilogram eve si woblu kple ami la asa numevɔ na Yehowa, eye wòanye ʋeʋẽ lĩlĩlĩ nɛ. Emegbe la, miatsɔ wain lita ɖeka asa nunovɔ.
And the libations shall be offered with it: two-tenths of fine wheat flour sprinkled with oil, as an incense and a most sweet odor for the Lord; likewise, libations of wine, the fourth part of a hin.
14 Miekpɔ mɔ aɖu abolo aɖeke, bli tɔtɔe alo bli yeye aɖeke o va se ɖe ŋkeke si dzi miawɔ vɔsa sia na miaƒe Mawu la. Esia anye ɖoɖo mavɔ na mi hena dzidzime siwo ava dzɔ le afi sia afi si mianɔ la.
Bread, and parched grain, and boiled grain, you shall not eat from the grain field, until the day when you shall offer from it to your God. It is an everlasting precept in your generations and in all of your dwelling places.
15 “‘Tso Dzudzɔgbe la ƒe ŋufɔke, gbe si gbe mietsɔ lu babla gbãtɔ vɛ, eye mienyee le yame la, xlẽ kɔsiɖa blibo adre.
Therefore, you shall number from the day after the Sabbath, in which you offered a sheaf of the first-fruits, seven full weeks,
16 Xlẽ ŋkeke blaatɔ̃ va se ɖe ŋkeke si dze Dzudzɔgbe adrelia dzi, eye miasa vɔ kple nuŋeŋe yeyewo na Yehowa.
all the way to the day after the completion of the seventh week, that is, fifty days, and then you shall offer a new sacrifice to the Lord,
17 Nunana sia anye abolo eve tso miaƒe aƒewo me, eye woanye wo le yame le Yehowa ŋkume abe wo tsɔtsɔ nɛ ƒe dzesi ene. Mitsɔ wɔ memee si ʋã la kilogram eve wɔ abolo siawo. Nunana sia nye miaƒe kutsetse gbãtɔwo na Yehowa.
from all of your dwelling places: two loaves from the first-fruits, from two-tenths of leavened fine wheat flour, which you shall bake as the first-fruits of the Lord.
18 Kpe ɖe abolo kple wain ŋuti la, miatsɔ alẽvi adre siwo xɔ ƒe ɖeka, nyitsu fɛ̃ ɖeka kple agbo eve siwo de blibo la asa numevɔ na Yehowa. Wo katã nye dzovɔsawo eye wonye ʋeʋẽ lĩlĩlĩ na Yehowa.
And you shall offer with the bread: seven immaculate one-year-old lambs, and one calf from the herd, and two rams, and these shall be a holocaust, with their libations, as a most sweet odor to the Lord.
19 Emegbe la, miatsɔ gbɔ̃tsu ɖeka asa nu vɔ̃ vɔsa, eye miatsɔ alẽvi eve siwo xɔ ƒe ɖeka la asa akpedavɔe.
You shall also offer a he-goat for sin, and two one-year-old lambs as victims of peace offerings.
20 Nunɔla la anye nunana siawo le yame le Yehowa ŋkume hekpe ɖe nu gbãtɔwo ƒe abolo ŋu, kpakple alẽvi eveawo siwo nye nu kɔkɔewo na Yehowa, eye woatsɔ wo ana nunɔlawo abe woƒe nuɖuɖu ene.
And when the priest has lifted them up with the loaves of the first-fruits, in the sight of the Lord, they shall fall to his use.
21 Woaɖe gbeƒã ŋkeke ma abe amewo katã ƒe takpekpe kɔkɔe ƒe ɣeyiɣi ene. Migawɔ dɔ aɖeke le ŋkeke ma dzi o. Esia nye se si dzi woawɔ tso dzidzime yi dzidzime.
And you shall call this day most honored and most holy; you shall do no servile work in it. It shall be an everlasting ordinance in all your dwelling places and generations.
22 “‘Ne miexa miaƒe nukuwo la, mele be miaŋe nu sia nu va se ɖe boto ke o, eye mele be miafɔ nukui siwo dudu ɖe anyigba o. Migblẽ wo ɖi na ame dahewo kple amedzro siwo le mia dome, ame siwo si anyigba mele o. Nyee nye Yehowa, miaƒe Mawu.’”
And when you will have harvested the grain fields of your land, you shall not cut it down all the way to the ground; neither shall you gather the remnants of the ears of grain, but you shall leave these for paupers and strangers. I am the Lord your God.
23 Yehowa gblɔ na Mose bena,
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
24 “Gblɔ na Israelviwo be, ‘Le ɣleti adrelia ƒe ŋkeke gbãtɔ dzi la, ele be miadzudzɔ mia ɖokui, wòanye takpekpe kɔkɔe si dzi woaɖo ŋkui kple kpẽkuku.
Say to the sons of Israel: The seventh month, the first day of the month, shall be a Sabbath for you, a memorial, with the sounding of trumpets, and it shall be called holy.
25 Migawɔ gbe sia gbe dɔwo o, ke boŋ misa dzovɔ na Yehowa.’”
You shall do no servile work in it, and you shall offer a holocaust to the Lord.
26 Yehowa gblɔ na Mose be,
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
27 “Ɣleti adrelia ƒe ŋkeke gbãtɔ nye Avuléŋkekenyui la. Miwɔ takpekpe kɔkɔe, miatsi nu adɔ, eye miasa dzovɔ na Yehowa.
The tenth day of this seventh month shall be the day of atonement; it shall be most honored, and it shall be called holy. And you shall afflict your souls on that day, and you shall offer a holocaust to the Lord.
28 Migawɔ dɔ aɖeke gbe ma gbe o, elabena enye avuléŋkeke tɔxɛ le Yehowa, miaƒe Mawu la ŋkume.
You shall do no servile work in the time of this day; for it is a day of propitiation, so that the Lord your God may be merciful to you.
29 Ne ame aɖe mewɔ ŋkeke sia ŋu dɔ hena dzimetɔtrɔ kple konyifafa ɖe eƒe nu vɔ̃wo ta o la, woatsrɔ̃e ɖa le eƒe amewo dome.
Every soul that has not been afflicted on this day shall perish from his people,
30 Matsrɔ̃ ame sia ame si awɔ dɔ aɖe gbe ma gbe la tso eƒe amewo dome.
and anyone who will have done work, I shall wipe him away from his people.
31 Miawɔ dɔ aɖeke kura o. Ele be esia nanye ɖoɖo mavɔ na dzidzime siwo ava va le afi si mianɔ.
Therefore, you shall do no work on that day. This shall be an everlasting ordinance for you in all your generations and dwelling places.
32 Ŋkeke sia nye dzudzɔgbe; miabɔbɔ mia ɖokui, eye miase veve ɖe miaƒe nu vɔ̃wo ta. Avuléɣeyiɣi sia adze egɔme tso fiẽ si do ŋgɔ na Avuléŋkekenyui la, eye wòayi edzi va se ɖe ŋkekenyui la ƒe fiẽ.”
It is a Sabbath of rest, and you shall afflict your souls beginning on the ninth day of the month: from evening until evening you shall celebrate your Sabbaths.
33 Yehowa gblɔ na Mose bena,
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
34 “Gblɔ na Israelviwo be, ‘Le ɣleti adrelia ƒe ŋkeke wuiatɔ̃lia dzi la, Yehowa ƒe Agbadɔmeŋkekenyui la adze egɔme eye woaɖui ŋkeke adre.
Say to the sons of Israel: From the fifteenth day of this seventh month, there shall be the Feast of Tabernacles: seven days for the Lord.
35 Ameawo katã awɔ takpekpe kɔkɔe le ŋkeke gbãtɔ dzi. Migawɔ dɔ sesẽ aɖeke gbe ma gbe o.
The first day shall be called most honored and most holy; you shall do no servile work in it.
36 Le ŋkekenyui la ƒe ŋkeke adreawo dometɔ ɖe sia ɖe dzi la, ele be miasa dzovɔ na Yehowa. Ameawo katã agawɔ takpekpe kɔkɔe bubu le ŋkeke enyia gbe. Woagasa dzovɔ na Yehowa gbe ma gbe. Enye dzidzɔɣeyiɣi aɖe, eye womeɖe mɔ be woawɔ dɔ sesẽ aɖeke o.’
And for seven days you shall offer holocausts to the Lord. Likewise, the eighth day shall be most honored and most holy, and you shall offer holocausts to the Lord. For it is the day of assembly and gathering. You shall do no servile work in it.
37 (“‘Esiawoe nye ŋkekenyui siwo miaɖu atsɔ de bubu Yehowa ŋu; ameawo katã awɔ takpekpe kɔkɔewo, eye woasa dzovɔwo, numevɔ, nuɖuvɔ, akpedavɔ kple nunovɔ na Yehowa. Ŋkeke ɖe sia ɖe kple etɔ
These are the feasts of the Lord, which you shall call most honored and most holy, and in them you shall offer oblations to the Lord: holocausts and libations according to the rite of each particular day,
38 Ƒe sia ƒe ƒe ŋkekenyui siawo kpe ɖe kɔsiɖa ɖe sia ɖe ƒe Dzudzɔgbe ŋu. Vɔ siwo woasa le ŋkekenyui siawo dzi la akpe ɖe miaƒe ɣe sia ɣi ƒe nunanawo kple adzɔgbeɖefewo ŋu.)
aside from the Sabbaths of the Lord, and your donations, and that which you offer by a vow, or which you give to the Lord spontaneously.
39 “‘Anyɔnyɔ ƒe ŋkeke mamlɛtɔ sia, si le miaƒe nuŋeɣi ƒe nuwuwu lae nye ɣeyiɣi si dzi miaɖu ŋkekenyui sia ŋkeke adre le Yehowa ŋkume. Miɖo ŋku edzi be ŋkeke gbãtɔ kple mamlɛtɔ nye dzudzɔgbe kɔkɔewo.
Therefore, from the fifteenth day of the seventh month, when you will have gathered together all the fruits of your land, you shall celebrate the feast of the Lord for seven days. The first day and the eighth day shall be a Sabbath, that is, a day of rest.
40 Le ŋkeke gbãtɔ dzi la, mitsɔ kutsetseti ƒe alɔ siwo dzi kutsetsewo le kple deʋaya kple atilɔ siwo do abe amiti siwo le tɔʋuwo to ene; mitsɔ wo tu agbadɔwo. Mitso aseye le Yehowa miaƒe Mawu ŋkume ŋkeke adre sɔŋ.
And you shall take for yourselves, on the first day, the fruits of the most beautiful tree, and branches of palm trees, and branches of trees with thick foliage, and willows from the torrent. And you shall rejoice in the sight of the Lord your God.
41 Ŋkekenyui sia, si woaɖu na Yehowa ŋkeke adre, ƒe sia ƒe la, nye se tso dzidzime yi dzidzime.
And you shall celebrate its solemnity for seven days each year. This shall be an everlasting ordinance in your generations. In the seventh month, you shall celebrate the feast,
42 Le ŋkeke adre mawo me la, ele be mi ame siwo katã nye Israelvi dzidziawo la, mianɔ agbadɔ siawo me.
and you shall live under shelters for seven days. All who are of the family of Israel shall dwell in tabernacles,
43 Nu sia ƒe taɖodzinue nye be woaɖo ŋku edzi na Israelviwo, tso dzidzime yi dzidzime be meɖe mi tso Egiptenyigba dzi, eye mena mienɔ agbadɔwo me. Nyee nye Yehowa, miaƒe Mawu.’”
so that your posterity may learn that I caused the sons of Israel to live in tabernacles, when I led them away from the land of Egypt. I am the Lord your God.
44 Ale Mose ɖe gbeƒã Yehowa ƒe ŋkekenyui siwo woaɖu ƒe sia ƒe la na Israelviwo.
And Moses spoke about the solemnities of the Lord to the sons of Israel.
