Mose 3 4

1 Yehowa gade se siawo na Mose:

And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

2 “Gblɔ na Israelviwo be, ‘esiawoe nye se siwo ku ɖe ame siwo ada le Yehowa ƒe seawo dzi le ŋuɖeɖi me la ŋu.

Say to the sons of Israel: The soul which will have sinned through ignorance, and concerning any of the commandments of the Lord that he instructed not to be done, if anything at all has been done:

3 “‘Ne nunɔla aɖe wɔ nu vɔ̃ le ŋuɖeɖi me, eye wòto esia me he fɔɖiɖi va ameawo dzi la, ele nɛ be wòatsɔ nyitsuvi fɛ̃ si de blibo la asa nu vɔ̃ ŋuti vɔsa na Yehowa.

if the priest, who is anointed, will have sinned, causing the people to commit a transgression, he shall offer to the Lord for his sin an immaculate calf.

4 Ele be wòakplɔ nyitsuvi fɛ̃ la ava Agbadɔ la ƒe mɔnu, atsɔ eƒe asi ada ɖe nyitsu la ƒe ta dzi, eye wòawui le afi ma le Yehowa ŋkume.

And he shall lead it to the door of the tabernacle of the testimony in the sight of the Lord. And he shall place his hand upon its head, and he shall immolate it to the Lord.

5 Ekema nunɔla la atsɔ nyitsu la ƒe ʋu ayi Agbadɔ la me,

Likewise, he shall take from the blood of the calf, carrying it into the tabernacle of the testimony,

6 ade eƒe asibidɛ ʋu la me, eye wòahlẽ ʋu la zi adre le Yehowa ŋkume ɖe xɔmetsovɔ si ma Kɔkɔeƒewo ƒe Kɔkɔeƒe la me la ŋkume.

and having dipped his finger into the blood, he shall sprinkle it seven times in the sight of the Lord, opposite the veil of the Sanctuary.

7 Emegbe la, nunɔla la asisi ʋu la ƒe ɖe ɖe dzudzɔdovɔsamlekpui la ƒe dzowo ŋu le Yehowa ŋkume le Agbadɔ la me; atsɔ ʋua mamlɛa akɔ ɖe numevɔsamlekpui la te le Agbadɔ la ƒe mɔnu.

And he shall place some of the same blood over the horns of the altar of most pleasing incense to the Lord, which is in the tabernacle of the testimony. Then he shall pour out the remainder of the blood at the base of the altar of holocaust at the entrance of the tabernacle.

8 Le esia megbe la, nunɔla la aɖe ami le nyitsua ƒe dɔmenuawo,

And, on behalf of the sin, he shall take the fat of the calf, both that which covers the vital organs and all that is interior,

9 ayiku eveawo kple aklã la ŋu,

the two little kidneys, and the mesh that is on them near the sides, and the fat of the liver with the little kidneys,

10 eye wòatɔ dzo wo ɖe numevɔsamlekpui la dzi abe ale si wotsɔa nyitsu alo nyinɔ sãa akpedavɔ ene tututu.

just as it is taken from the calf of the sacrifice of peace offerings. And he shall burn them upon the altar of holocaust.

11 Ke atsɔ nyitsu la ƒe ayi kple eƒe lã katã, kpe ɖe eƒe ta kple afɔwo ŋu,

Yet truly, the skin and all the flesh, with the head and the feet, and the intestines and the dung,

12 kple nyitsu la ƒe lã mamlɛa katã ayi asaɖa la godo, teƒe si ŋuti kɔ kple afi si wotsɔa afi ƒua gbe ɖo la, eye wòatɔ dzoe le nakedzo dzi le afi si woli kɔe la dzi.

and the remainder of the body, he shall carry away, beyond the camp, to the clean place where the ashes are usually poured out. And he shall burn them upon a stack of wood. There, in the place where the ashes have been poured out, they will be burned.

13 “‘Ne Israel dukɔ blibo la wɔ nu vɔ̃ le ŋuɖeɖi me, eye wòwɔ nu si Yehowa de se na wo be womawɔ o la, ameawo katã ɖi fɔ.

But if all the crowd of Israel will have been ignorant, and through inexperience will have done what is contrary to the commandment of the Lord,

14 Ne wova dze si woƒe nu vɔ̃ la, woana nyitsu fɛ̃ aɖe hena nu vɔ̃ ŋuti vɔsa. Woatsɔ nyitsu la ava Agbadɔ la ŋgɔ.

and afterwards shall understand their sin: they shall offer a calf on behalf of their sin, and they shall lead it to the door of the tabernacle.

15 Dukɔ la ƒe ametsitsiwo ada asi ɖe nyitsu la ƒe ta dzi, eye woawui le Yehowa ŋkume.

And the elders of the people shall place their hands upon its head in the sight of the Lord. And when the calf has been immolated in the sight of the Lord,

16 Nunɔla la atsɔ nyitsu la ƒe ʋu ayi Agbadɔ la me,

the priest who is anointed shall carry some of its blood into the tabernacle of the testimony.

17 ade eƒe asibidɛ ʋu la me, eye wòahlẽe zi adre ɖe xɔmetsovɔ la ŋgɔ le Yehowa ŋkume.

and he shall dip his finger in it, sprinkling it seven times opposite the veil.

18 Emegbe la, asisi ʋu la ɖe vɔsamlekpui la ƒe dzowo ŋu le Agbadɔ la me le Yehowa ŋkume, eye wòakɔ ʋua mamlɛa katã ɖe vɔsamlekpui la te le Agbadɔ la ƒe mɔnu.

And he shall place some of the same blood on the horns of the altar, which is in the presence of the Lord in the tabernacle of the testimony. But the remainder of the blood he shall pour out at the base of the altar of holocaust, which is at the door of the tabernacle of the testimony.

19 Woaɖe eƒe ami ɖe sia ɖe, eye woatɔ dzoe le vɔsamlekpui la dzi.

And he shall take all its fat and burn it upon the altar,

20 Woawɔ nu siwo katã wowɔna le nu vɔ̃ ŋuti vɔsasa me. Ale nunɔla la alé avu ɖe dukɔ la nu, eye Mawu atsɔ nu vɔ̃ la ake ame sia ame.

doing so with this calf in the same manner as he did before. And while the priest is praying for them, the Lord will forgive them.

21 Azɔ la, nunɔla la atsɔ nyitsu la ayi asaɖa la godo, eye wòatɔ dzoe le afi ma abe ame ɖeka ƒe nu vɔ̃ ŋuti vɔsa wònye ene, evɔ la, nu vɔ̃ ŋuti vɔsa wònye ɖe dukɔ blibo la ta.

But the calf itself he shall carry away, beyond the camp, and he shall also burn it, just as with the previous calf, because it is for the sin of the multitude.

22 “‘Ne dumegã aɖe wɔ nu vɔ̃, gake menya gbã be yewɔ nu vɔ̃, da le Yehowa, eƒe Mawu, ƒe seawo dometɔ ɖeka dzi o,

If a leader will have sinned, and through ignorance will have done one of the many things which the law of the Lord prohibits,

23 ne wova na wònya emegbe ko la, ele be wòatsɔ gbɔ̃tsu si de blibo la vɛ abe eƒe vɔsa ene.

and afterwards he shall understand his sin: he shall offer an immaculate he-goat from among the goats, as a sacrifice to the Lord.

24 Ada eƒe asi ɖe gbɔ̃ la ƒe ta dzi, awui le afi si wowua numevɔsalãwo le, eye wòatsɔe na Yehowa. Esiae nye eƒe nu vɔ̃ ŋuti vɔsa.

And he shall place his hand upon its head. And when he will have immolated it, in the place where the holocaust is usually slain, in the sight of the Lord, because it is for sin,

25 Ekema nunɔla la atsɔ nu vɔ̃ ŋuti vɔsalã sia ƒe ʋu ƒe ɖe, atsɔ eƒe asibidɛ asisi ʋu la ɖe numevɔsamlekpui la ƒe dzowo ŋu, eye wòakɔ ʋu la ƒe mamlɛa ɖe vɔsamlekpui la te.

the priest shall dip his finger in the blood of the victim for sin, touching the horns of the altar of holocaust, and pouring out the remainder at its base.

26 Woatɔ dzo lã la ƒe ami katã ɖe vɔsamlekpui la dzi abe akpedavɔsalã ƒe amie wònye ene. Ale nunɔla la alé avu ɖe dumegã si wɔ nu vɔ̃ la nu, eye Mawu atsɔ eƒe nu vɔ̃ akee.

Yet truly, the fat he shall burn upon it, just as is usually done with the victims of peace offerings. And the priest shall pray for him and for his sin, and he shall be released from it.

27 “‘Ne dukɔmevi aɖe da le Yehowa ƒe sewo dzi, gake menya be yewɔ nu vɔ̃ o la, eɖi fɔ.

But if a soul from the people of the land will have sinned through ignorance, so as to have done any of those things that the law of the Lord prohibits, and so commit a transgression,

28 Ke ne eva nya teti ko la, ele nɛ be wòatsɔ gbɔ̃nɔ si de blibo la vɛ be yeatsɔe alé avui ɖe yeƒe nu vɔ̃ ta.

and he shall realize his sin: he shall offer an immaculate she-goat.

29 Atsɔe va afi si wowua numevɔsalãwo le, ada asi ɖe lã la ƒe ta dzi, eye wòawui.

And he shall place his hand upon the head of the victim which is for sin. And he shall immolate it in the place of the holocaust.

30 Ekema nunɔla la ade asibidɛ ʋu la me asisi ɖe numevɔsamlekpui la ƒe dzowo ŋu, eye wòakɔ ʋua mamlɛa ɖe vɔsamlekpui la te.

And the priest shall take some of the blood with his finger, and touching the horns of the altar of holocaust, he shall pour out the remainder at its base.

31 Woaɖe ami siwo katã le dɔ me na lã la, abe ale si wowɔna le akpedavɔsa me ene, eye nunɔla la atɔ dzoe le vɔsamlekpui la dzi. Nu sia adze Yehowa ŋu. Ale nunɔla la alé avu ɖe amea nu, eye Mawu atsɔ eƒe nu vɔ̃ akee.

But taking away all the fat, just as it is usually taken away from the victims of peace offerings, he shall burn it upon the altar as a sweet odor to the Lord. And he shall pray for him, and he shall be released from it.

32 “‘Ke ne edi be yeasa vɔ la kple alẽ la, ekema ele be wòanye alẽnɔ si de blibo.

But if instead he will offer from the flock a victim for his sin, specifically, an immaculate female sheep:

33 Akplɔe va afi si wowua numevɔsalãwo le, ada asi ɖe lã la ƒe ta dzi, eye wòawui abe nu vɔ̃ ŋuti vɔsalã ene.

he shall place his hand upon its head, and he shall immolate it in the place where the victims of holocausts are usually slain.

34 Nunɔla la ade asibidɛ vɔsaʋu la me asisi ɖe numevɔsamlekpui la ƒe dzowo ŋuti, eye woakɔ ʋua ƒe mamlɛa katã ɖe vɔsamlekpui la te.

And the priest shall take some of its blood with his finger, and touching the horns of the altar of holocaust, he shall pour out the remainder at its base.

35 Woawɔ lã la ƒe ami ŋu dɔ abe ale si wowɔa eŋu dɔ le akpedavɔsa me ene. Nunɔla la atɔ dzo lã la ƒe ami ɖe vɔsamlekpui la dzi abe ale si wowɔna kple vɔsanu bubu ɖe sia ɖe si wotɔa dzoe na Yehowa la ene. Ekema nunɔla la alé avu ɖe amea nu, eye Mawu atsɔ eƒe nu vɔ̃ akee.

Likewise, all of the fat shall be taken away, just as the fat of the ram, which is immolated for peace offerings, is usually taken away. And he shall burn it upon the altar as an incense of the Lord. And he shall pray for him and for his sin, and he shall be released from it.
