Mose 3 23
1 Yehowa gblɔ na Mose be,
Yahweh spoke to Moses:
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 people of Israel, and say to them, 'These are the appointed festivals for Yahweh, which you must proclaim as holy assemblies; they are my regular festivals.
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.
You may work for six days, but the seventh day is a Sabbath of complete rest, a holy assembly. You must do no work because it is a Sabbath for Yahweh in all the places where you live.
4 “‘Esiawoe nye Yehowa ƒe ŋkeke kɔkɔe ɖoanyiawo, takpekpe kɔkɔe siwo miayɔ le ɣeyiɣi ɖoɖiawo dzi.
These are the appointed festivals of Yahweh, the holy assemblies that you must announce at their appointed times:
5 Yehowa Ƒe Ŋutitotoŋkekenyui la adze egɔme le ɣleti gbãtɔ ƒe ŋkeke wuienea gbe le fiẽ.
In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month at twilight, is Yahweh's Passover.
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.
On the fifteenth day of the same month is the Festival of Unleavened Bread for Yahweh. For seven days you must 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 you must set apart to gather together; you will not do any of your regular work.
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.’”
You will present a food offering to Yahweh for seven days. The seventh day is an assembly set apart to Yahweh, and on that day you must not do any regular work.'”
9 Yehowa gblɔ na Mose be,
Yahweh 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 people of Israel and say to them, 'When you have come into the land that I will give you, and when you reap its harvest, then you must bring a bundle of the firstfruit of the grain 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 will raise the bundle of grain before Yahweh and present it to him, for it to be accepted on your behalf. It is on the day after the Sabbath that the priest will raise it and present it to me.
12 Gbe ma gbe ke miatsɔ alẽvi si xɔ ƒe ɖeka, eye wòle blibo la asa numevɔe na Yehowa.
On the day when you raise the bundle of grain and present it to me, you must offer a male lamb one year old and without blemish as a burnt offering to Yahweh.
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.
The grain offering must be two-tenths of an ephah of fine flour mixed with oil, an offering made by fire to Yahweh, to produce a sweet aroma, and with it a drink offering of wine, a fourth 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.
You must eat no bread, nor roasted or fresh grain, until the same day you have brought this offering to your God. This will be a permanent statute throughout your people's generations, in every place that you live.
15 “‘Tso Dzudzɔgbe la ƒe ŋufɔke, gbe si gbe mietsɔ lu babla gbãtɔ vɛ, eye mienyee le yame la, xlẽ kɔsiɖa blibo adre.
Beginning from the day after the Sabbath—that was the day you brought the bundle of grain as the wave offering—count seven full weeks.
16 Xlẽ ŋkeke blaatɔ̃ va se ɖe ŋkeke si dze Dzudzɔgbe adrelia dzi, eye miasa vɔ kple nuŋeŋe yeyewo na Yehowa.
You must count fifty days, which would be the day after the seventh Sabbath. Then you must present an offering of new grain to Yahweh.
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.
You must bring out of your houses two loaves made from two-tenths of an ephah. They must be made from fine flour and baked with yeast; they will be a wave offering of the firstfruits to Yahweh.
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.
You must present with the bread seven lambs one year old and without blemish, one young bull, and two rams. They must be a burnt offering to Yahweh, with their grain offering and their drink offerings, an offering made by fire and producing a sweet aroma for Yahweh.
19 Emegbe la, miatsɔ gbɔ̃tsu ɖeka asa nu vɔ̃ vɔsa, eye miatsɔ alẽvi eve siwo xɔ ƒe ɖeka la asa akpedavɔe.
You must offer one male goat for a sin offering, and two male lambs a year old for a sacrifice, as fellowship 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.
The priest must wave them together with the bread of the firstfruits before Yahweh, and present them to him as an offering with the two lambs. They will be holy offerings to Yahweh 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.
You must make a proclamation on that same day. There will be a holy assembly, and you must do no ordinary work. This will be a permanent statute throughout your people's generations in all the places where you live.
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.’”
When you reap the harvest of your land, you must not completely reap the corners of your fields, and you must not gather the gleanings of your harvest. You must leave them for the poor and for the foreigner. I am Yahweh your God.'”
23 Yehowa gblɔ na Mose bena,
Yahweh 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.
“Speak to the people of Israel and say, 'In the seventh month, the first day of that month will be a solemn rest for you, a memorial with the blowing of trumpets, and a holy assembly.
25 Migawɔ gbe sia gbe dɔwo o, ke boŋ misa dzovɔ na Yehowa.’”
You must do no ordinary work, and you must offer a sacrifice made by fire to Yahweh.'”
26 Yehowa gblɔ na Mose be,
Then Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
27 “Ɣleti adrelia ƒe ŋkeke gbãtɔ nye Avuléŋkekenyui la. Miwɔ takpekpe kɔkɔe, miatsi nu adɔ, eye miasa dzovɔ na Yehowa.
“Now the tenth day of this seventh month is the Day of Atonement. It is to be a holy assembly, and you must humble yourselves and present to Yahweh an offering by fire.
28 Migawɔ dɔ aɖeke gbe ma gbe o, elabena enye avuléŋkeke tɔxɛ le Yehowa, miaƒe Mawu la ŋkume.
You must do no work on that day because it is the Day of Atonement, to make atonement for yourselves before Yahweh 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.
Whoever does not humble himself on that day must be cut off from his people.
30 Matsrɔ̃ ame sia ame si awɔ dɔ aɖe gbe ma gbe la tso eƒe amewo dome.
Whoever does any work on that day, I, Yahweh, will destroy him 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.
You must do no work of any kind on that day. This will be a permanent statute throughout your people's generations in all the places where you live.
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.”
This day must be to you a Sabbath of solemn rest, and you must humble yourselves the ninth day of the month at the evening. From evening to evening you are to observe your Sabbath.”
33 Yehowa gblɔ na Mose bena,
Yahweh 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.
“Speak to the people of Israel, saying, 'On the fifteenth day of the seventh month will be the Festival of Shelters for Yahweh. It will last seven days.
35 Ameawo katã awɔ takpekpe kɔkɔe le ŋkeke gbãtɔ dzi. Migawɔ dɔ sesẽ aɖeke gbe ma gbe o.
On the first day there must be a holy assembly. You must do no ordinary work.
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.’
For seven days you must offer a sacrifice made by fire to Yahweh. On the eighth day there must be a holy assembly, and you must make a sacrifice offered with fire to Yahweh. This is a solemn assembly, and you must not do any ordinary work.
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 appointed festivals for Yahweh, which you must proclaim as holy assemblies to offer sacrifice by fire to Yahweh, a burnt offering and a grain offering, sacrifices and drink offerings, each on its own 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.)
These festivals will be in addition to the Sabbaths of Yahweh and your gifts, all your vows, and all your freewill offerings that you give to Yahweh.
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.
Regarding the Festival of Shelters, on the fifteenth day of the seventh month, when you have gathered in the fruits of the land, you must keep this festival of Yahweh for seven days. The first day will be a solemn rest, and the eighth day will also be a solemn 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.
On the first day you must take the best fruit from the trees, branches of palm trees, and leafy branches of thick trees, and willows from streams, and you will rejoice before Yahweh your God for seven days.
41 Ŋkekenyui sia, si woaɖu na Yehowa ŋkeke adre, ƒe sia ƒe la, nye se tso dzidzime yi dzidzime.
For seven days each year, you must celebrate this festival for Yahweh. This will be a permanent statute throughout your people's generations in all the places where you live. You must celebrate this festival in the seventh month.
42 Le ŋkeke adre mawo me la, ele be mi ame siwo katã nye Israelvi dzidziawo la, mianɔ agbadɔ siawo me.
You must live in small shelters for seven days. All native-born Israelites must live in small shelters for seven days,
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 descendants, generation after generation, may learn how I made the people of Israel live in such shelters when I led them out of the land of Egypt. I am Yahweh your God.'”
44 Ale Mose ɖe gbeƒã Yehowa ƒe ŋkekenyui siwo woaɖu ƒe sia ƒe la na Israelviwo.
In this way, Moses announced to the people of Israel the appointed festivals for Yahweh.
