Mose 3 23
1 Yehowa gblɔ na Mose be,
And the Lord spoke unto 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 unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, The feasts of the Lord, which ye shall proclaim to be holy convocations, —these are my feasts:
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.
Six days may work be done; but on the seventh day is the sabbath of rest, a holy convocation; no kind of work shall ye do thereon; it is the sabbath [holy] unto the Lord in all your dwellings.
4 “‘Esiawoe nye Yehowa ƒe ŋkeke kɔkɔe ɖoanyiawo, takpekpe kɔkɔe siwo miayɔ le ɣeyiɣi ɖoɖiawo dzi.
These are the feasts of the Lord, the holy convocations, which ye shall proclaim in their seasons:
5 Yehowa Ƒe Ŋutitotoŋkekenyui la adze egɔme le ɣleti gbãtɔ ƒe ŋkeke wuienea gbe le fiẽ.
On the fourteenth day of the first month, toward evening, is the passover-lamb to be offered unto 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 on the fifteenth day of the same month is the feast of unleavened bread unto the Lord: seven days must ye eat unleavened bread.
7 Le ŋkekenyui sia ƒe ŋkeke gbãtɔ dzi la, àƒo ameawo nu ƒu hena mawusubɔsubɔ, eye miawɔ dɔ aɖeke o.
On the first day there shall be a holy convocation unto you; no servile work shall ye do thereon.
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.’”
And ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto the Lord seven days: on the seventh day is a holy convocation; no servile work shall ye do.
9 Yehowa gblɔ na Mose be,
And the Lord spoke unto 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 unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, When ye shall have come into the land which I give unto you, and reap the harvest thereof: then shall ye bring an omer full of the first of your harvest unto 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.
And he shall wave the omer before the Lord, that it may be favorably received for you; on the morrow after the holy day shall the priest wave it.
12 Gbe ma gbe ke miatsɔ alẽvi si xɔ ƒe ɖeka, eye wòle blibo la asa numevɔe na Yehowa.
And ye shall offer on the day when ye wave the omer, a male sheep without blemish of the first year for a burnt-offering unto 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 meat-offering thereof shall be two tenth parts of fine flour mingled with oil, as an offering made by fire unto the Lord, for a sweet savor; with its drink-offering 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.
And neither bread, nor parched corn, nor green ears, shall ye eat, until the self-same day, until ye have brought the offering of your God: it shall be a statute forever throughout your generations in all your dwellings.
15 “‘Tso Dzudzɔgbe la ƒe ŋufɔke, gbe si gbe mietsɔ lu babla gbãtɔ vɛ, eye mienyee le yame la, xlẽ kɔsiɖa blibo adre.
And ye shall count unto you from the morrow after the holy day, from the day that ye bring the omer of the wave-offering, [that] it be seven complete weeks:
16 Xlẽ ŋkeke blaatɔ̃ va se ɖe ŋkeke si dze Dzudzɔgbe adrelia dzi, eye miasa vɔ kple nuŋeŋe yeyewo na Yehowa.
Even unto the morrow after the seventh week shall ye number fifty days; and ye shall then offer a new meat-offering unto 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.
Out of your own habitations shall ye bring two wave-loaves of two tenth parts; of fine flour shall they be; leavened shall they be baked; they are the first-fruits unto 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 ye shall offer with the bread seven sheep without blemish of the first year, and one young bullock, and two rams: they shall be for a burnt-offering unto the Lord, with their meat-offering, with their drink-offerings, an offering made by fire, of a sweet savor unto the Lord.
19 Emegbe la, miatsɔ gbɔ̃tsu ɖeka asa nu vɔ̃ vɔsa, eye miatsɔ alẽvi eve siwo xɔ ƒe ɖeka la asa akpedavɔe.
And ye shall sacrifice one he-goat for a sin-offering, and two sheep of the first year for a sacrifice of peace-offering.
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 the priest shall make with them together with the bread of the first-fruits a waving before the Lord, together with the two sheep; holy shall they be to the Lord for the priest.
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 ye shall proclaim on the self-same day, that it may be a holy convocation unto you; no servile work shall ye do; it shall be a statute for ever in all your dwellings throughout your 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 ye reap the harvest of your land, thou shalt not cut away altogether the corners of thy field when thou reapest, and the gleaning of thy harvest shalt thou not gather up; unto the poor, and to the stranger shalt thou leave them: I am the Lord your God.
23 Yehowa gblɔ na Mose bena,
And the Lord spoke unto 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.
Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, In the seventh month, on the first day of the month, shall ye have a rest, a [day of] memorial of sounding the cornet, a holy convocation.
25 Migawɔ gbe sia gbe dɔwo o, ke boŋ misa dzovɔ na Yehowa.’”
No servile work shall ye do: and ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto the Lord.
26 Yehowa gblɔ na Mose be,
And the Lord spoke unto Moses, saying,
27 “Ɣleti adrelia ƒe ŋkeke gbãtɔ nye Avuléŋkekenyui la. Miwɔ takpekpe kɔkɔe, miatsi nu adɔ, eye miasa dzovɔ na Yehowa.
But on the tenth day of this seventh month is the day of atonement, a holy convocation shall it be unto you, and ye shall fast; and ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto the Lord.
28 Migawɔ dɔ aɖeke gbe ma gbe o, elabena enye avuléŋkeke tɔxɛ le Yehowa, miaƒe Mawu la ŋkume.
And no manner of work shall ye do on this same day; for it is a day of atonement, to make an atonement for you before the Lord your God.
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.
For whatsoever person it be that fasteth not on this same day, shall be cut off from among his people.
30 Matsrɔ̃ ame sia ame si awɔ dɔ aɖe gbe ma gbe la tso eƒe amewo dome.
And if there be any person that doth any work on this same day, then will I destroy the same person from among his people.
31 Miawɔ dɔ aɖeke kura o. Ele be esia nanye ɖoɖo mavɔ na dzidzime siwo ava va le afi si mianɔ.
No manner of work shall ye do: it shall he a statute for ever throughout your generations, in all your dwellings.
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.”
A sabbath of rest it shall be unto you, and ye shall fast: on the ninth day of the month at evening [shall ye begin], from evening unto evening shall ye celebrate your sabbath.
33 Yehowa gblɔ na Mose bena,
And the Lord spoke unto 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.
Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, On the fifteenth day of this seventh month, shall be the feast of tabernacles for seven days unto the Lord.
35 Ameawo katã awɔ takpekpe kɔkɔe le ŋkeke gbãtɔ dzi. Migawɔ dɔ sesẽ aɖeke gbe ma gbe o.
On the first day shall be a holy convocation; no servile work shall ye do.
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.’
Seven days shall ye offer an offering made by fire unto the Lord: on the eighth day shall be a holy convocation unto you; and ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto the Lord, it is a solemn assembly; no servile work shall ye do.
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 ye shall proclaim to be holy convocations, to offer an offering made by fire unto the Lord, burnt-offering, and meat-offering, sacrifice, and drink-offerings, every thing upon its 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.)
Beside the sabbaths of the Lord, and beside your gifts, and beside all your vows, and beside all your freewill-offerings, which ye may give unto the Lord.
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.
But on the fifteenth day of the seventh month, when ye have gathered in the fruit of the land, shall ye keep the feast of the Lord seven days: on the first day shall be a rest, and on the eighth day shall be a 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 ye shall take unto yourselves on the first day the fruit of the tree hadar, branches of palm-trees, and the boughs of the myrtle-tree, and willows of the brook: and ye shall rejoice before the Lord your God seven days.
41 Ŋkekenyui sia, si woaɖu na Yehowa ŋkeke adre, ƒe sia ƒe la, nye se tso dzidzime yi dzidzime.
And ye shall keep it as a feast unto the Lord seven days in the year: it shall be a statute for ever throughout your generations; in the seventh month shall ye celebrate it.
42 Le ŋkeke adre mawo me la, ele be mi ame siwo katã nye Israelvi dzidziawo la, mianɔ agbadɔ siawo me.
In booths shall ye dwell seven days; all that are Israelites born shall dwell in booths.
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.’”
In order that your generations may know, that I caused the children of Israel to dwell in booths, when I brought them forth out of 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 declared the feasts of the Lord unto the children of Israel.
