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 children of Israel: The soul that sinneth through ignorance, and doth any thing concerning any of the commandments of the Lord, which he commanded not to be 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 that is anointed shall sin, making the people to offend, he shall offer to the Lord for his sin a calf without blemish.

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 bring it to the door of the testimony before the Lord, and shall put his hand upon the head thereof, and shall sacrifice it to the Lord.

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

He shall take also of the blood of the calf, and carry 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 in the blood, he shall sprinkle with it seven times before the Lord, before 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 put some of the same blood upon the horns of the altar of the sweet incense most acceptable to the Lord, which is in the tabernacle of the testimony. And he shall pour all the rest of the blood at the foot of the altar of holocaust in the entry of the tabernacle.

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

And he shall take off the fat of the calf for the sin offering, as well that which covereth the entrails, as all the inwards:

9 ayiku eveawo kple aklã la ŋu,

The two little kidneys, and the caul that is upon them, which is by the hanks, 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.

As it is taken off 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,

But the skin and all the flesh with the head and the feet and the bowels 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 rest of the body he shall carry forth without the camp into a clean place where the ashes are wont to be poured out, and he shall burn them upon a pile of wood, they shall be burnt in the place where the ashes are poured out.

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.

And if all the multitude of Israel shall be ignorant, and through ignorance shall do that which is against 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 for their sin a calf, and shall bring 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 ancients of the people shall put their hands upon the head thereof before the Lord. And the calf being immolated in the sight of the Lord,

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

The priest that is anointed shall carry of the 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 shall dip his finger in it and sprinkle it seven times before 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 put of the same blood on the horns of the altar that is before the Lord, in the tabernacle of the testimony: and the rest of the blood he shall pour at the foot 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 all the fat thereof he shall take off, and shall 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, as he did also with that before: and the priest praying for them, the Lord will be merciful unto 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 forth without the camp, and shall burn it as he did the former 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 prince shall sin, and through ignorance do any one of the things that the law of the Lord forbiddeth,

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

And afterwards shall come to know his sin, he shall offer a buck goat without blemish, 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 put his hand upon the head thereof: and when he hath immolated it in the place where the holocaust is wont to be slain before 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 therewith the horns of the altar of holocaust, and pouring out the rest at the foot thereof.

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.

But the fat he shall burn upon it, as is wont to be done with the victims of peace offerings: and the priest shall pray for him, and for his sin, and it shall be forgiven him.

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

And if any one of the people of the land shall sin through ignorance, doing any of those things that by the law of the Lord are forbidden, and offending,

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 shall come to know his sin, he shall offer a she goat without blemish.

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

And he shall put his hand upon the head of the victim that is for sin, and 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 of the blood with his finger, and shall touch the horns of the altar of holocaust, and shall pour out the rest at the foot thereof.

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 off all the fat, as is wont to be taken away of the victims of peace offerings, he shall burn it upon the altar, for a sweet savour to the Lord: and he shall pray for him, and it shall be forgiven him.

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

But if he offer of the flock a victim for his sin, to wit, an ewe without blemish:

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 put his hand upon the head thereof, and shall immolate it in the place where the victims of holocausts are wont to be 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 of the blood thereof with his finger, and shall touch the horns of the altar of holocaust, and the rest he shall pour out at the foot thereof.

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.

All the fat also he shall take off, as the fat of the ram that is offered for peace offerings is wont to be taken away: and shall burn it upon the altar, for a burnt sacrifice of the Lord: and he shall pray for him and for his sin, and it shall be forgiven him.
