< Mose 3 5 >
1 “‘Ne ame aɖe se be woɖe gbeƒã be woava ɖi ɖase le nu vɔ̃ si ame bubu aɖe wɔ la ŋu si wòkpɔ alo nya nu le eŋu, gake meɖi ɖase le eŋuti o la, ekema ewɔ nu vɔ̃.
And if anyone does wrong by saying nothing when he is put under oath as a witness of something he has seen or had knowledge of, then he will be responsible:
2 “‘Alo ne ame aɖe ka asi nu makɔmakɔ aɖe ŋu abe lã maɖumaɖua aɖe ƒe kukua ŋu, alo gbemelã alo aƒemelã alo nutata siwo ŋuti mekɔ o ene ŋu la, ewɔ nu vɔ̃, ne eya ŋutɔ menya be yeka asi nu makɔmakɔ ŋu o hã.
If anyone becomes unclean through touching unconsciously some unclean thing, such as the dead body of an unclean beast or of unclean cattle or of any unclean animal which goes flat on the earth, he will be responsible:
3 Alo ne ede asi ame ƒe nu makɔmakɔ aɖe, nu sia nu si ana wòagblẽ kɔ ɖo la ŋu, togbɔ be menyae hafi o hã la, ne eva nya la, aɖi fɔ.
Or if he becomes unclean through touching unconsciously any unclean thing of man, whatever it may be, when it is made clear to him he will be responsible:
4 Alo ne ame aɖe ka atam be yeawɔ nane evɔ mebu ta me nyuie hafi kae o, eɖanye nyui alo vɔ̃ la, le nya sia nya si me wòaka atam le tamemabumabutɔe la, togbɔ be menya nu si wɔm wòle o hã la, ne eva nya emegbe la, aɖi fɔ.
Or if anyone, without thought, takes an oath to do evil or to do good, whatever he says without thought, with an oath, having no knowledge of what he is doing; when it becomes clear to him, he will be responsible for any of these things.
5 Le go siawo dometɔ ɖe sia ɖe me la, ele be wòaʋu eƒe nu vɔ̃ me,
And whoever is responsible for any such sin, let him make a statement openly of his wrongdoing;
6 eye wòatsɔ alẽnɔ alo gbɔ̃nɔ asa nu vɔ̃ ŋuti vɔsa na Yehowa. Nunɔla la alé avu ɖe enu, ekema Mawu atsɔ eƒe nu vɔ̃ akee, eye mele be wòagawɔ ɖe atam si wòka la dzi o.
And take to the Lord the offering for the wrong which he has done, a female from the flock, a lamb or a goat, for a sin-offering, and the priest will take away his sin.
7 “‘Ne amea da ahe ale gbegbe be mate ŋu akpɔ alẽ alo gbɔ̃ vɛ na Yehowa o la, ekema ana akpakpa eve alo ahɔnɛ fɛ̃ eve abe eƒe nu vɔ̃ ŋuti vɔsa ene. Xeviawo dometɔ ɖeka anye eƒe nu vɔ̃ ŋuti vɔsa, eye evelia anye eƒe numevɔsa.
And if he has not money enough for a lamb, then let him give, for his offering to the Lord, two doves or two young pigeons; one for a sin-offering and one for a burned offering.
8 Nunɔla la atsɔ xevi eveawo dometɔ si wotsɔ nɛ gbã la, asa nu vɔ̃ vɔsae. Atro kɔ le xevi la nu, gake mana eƒe kɔ naɖe le enu o.
And let him take them to the priest, who will first give the sin-offering, twisting off its head from its neck, but not cutting it in two;
9 Nunɔla la ahlẽ ʋua ƒe ɖe ɖe vɔsamlekpui la ƒe axawo dzi, eye wòakɔ ʋua mamlɛa ɖe vɔsamlekpui la te. Esiae nye nu vɔ̃ ŋuti vɔsa.
And he is to put drops of the blood of the offering on the side of the altar, and the rest of the blood is to be drained out at the base of the altar; it is a sin-offering.
10 Nunɔla la atsɔ xevi evelia awɔ numevɔsae to mɔ siwo woɖo da ɖi la dzi. Ale nunɔla la alé avu ɖe amea nu le eƒe nu vɔ̃ ta, eye Mawu atsɔe akee.
And the second is for a burned offering, in agreement with the law; and the priest will take away his sin and he will have forgiveness.
11 “‘Ne amea da ahe ale gbegbe be mate ŋu atsɔ akpakpawo alo ahɔnɛ fɛ̃wo asa nu vɔ̃ vɔe o la, ekema ana wɔ memee kilogram ɖeka. Mele be woakɔ ami ɖe edzi loo alo atsakae kple dzudzɔdonu o, elabena nu vɔ̃ vɔsae.
But if he has not enough money for two doves or two young pigeons, then let him give, for the sin he has done, the tenth part of an ephah of the best meal, for a sin-offering; let him put no oil on it, and no perfume, for it is a sin-offering.
12 Atsɔe vɛ na nunɔla la; nunɔla la aɖe wɔ la ƒe asiʋlo ɖeka ɖe wɔ blibo la teƒe, eye wòatɔ dzoe le vɔsamlekpui la dzi abe dzovɔsa bubu ɖe sia ɖe na Yehowa ene. Esiae anye eƒe nu vɔ̃ ŋuti vɔsa.
And let him come to the priest with it, and the priest will take some of it in his hand, to be burned on the altar as a sign, among the offerings of the Lord made by fire: it is a sin-offering.
13 Ale nunɔla la alé avu ɖe enu le nu vɔ̃ sia tɔgbi ɖe sia ɖe ta, eye Mawu atsɔe akee. Wɔ la ƒe mamlɛa azu nunɔla la tɔ abe ale si wowɔna le nuɖuvɔsa gome ene.’”
And the priest will take away his sin and he will have forgiveness: and the rest of the offering will be the priest's, in the same way as the meal offering.
14 Yehowa gblɔ na Mose be,
And the Lord said to Moses,
15 “Ne ame aɖe gblẽ kɔ ɖo, eye wòwɔ nu vɔ̃ le manyamanya me, ku ɖe Yehowa ƒe nu kɔkɔewo dometɔ aɖe ŋu la, abe tohehe ene la, alé agbo ɖeka le lãhawo dome vɛ na Yehowa, esi ŋuti kpɔtsɔtsɔ mele o la, eye eƒe home sɔ kple klosalo si wòle be wòana le Kɔkɔeƒe la ƒe nudanu nu. Enye fɔɖivɔsa na Yehowa.
If anyone is untrue, sinning in error in connection with the holy things of the Lord, let him take his offering to the Lord, a male sheep from the flock, without any mark, of the value fixed by you in silver by shekels, by the scale of the holy place.
16 Kpe ɖe esia ŋu la, ele nɛ be wòaɖo nu si mete ŋu wɔ o la teƒe ku ɖe nu kɔkɔeawo ŋuti, agatsɔ nu si wòle be wòana la ƒe akpa atɔ̃lia akpe ɖe nuawo ŋu, eye wòatsɔ wo katã vɛ na nunɔla la, ame si atsɔ agbo la alé avui abe fɔɖivɔsa ene. Ale woatsɔe akee.
And he is to make payment to the priest for what he has done wrong in relation to the holy thing, together with a fifth part of its value in addition; and the priest will take away his sin by the sheep of his offering, and he will have forgiveness.
17 “Ne ame aɖe wɔ nu vɔ̃, eye wòwɔ nu si wogbe be womawɔ o le Yehowa ƒe ɖoɖowo dometɔ aɖe me, ne eya ŋutɔ menyae o gɔ̃ hã la, eɖi fɔ eye woabui nu vɔ̃e nɛ.
And if anyone does wrong, and does any of the things which the Lord has given orders are not to be done, though he has no knowledge of it, still he is in the wrong and he is responsible.
18 Ele be wòatsɔ agbo ɖeka si de blibo, eye asixɔxɔ si dze la le eŋu la tso eƒe alẽwo dome vɛ na nunɔla la abe eƒe fɔɖivɔsa ene. Ale nunɔla la alé avu ɖe enu ɖe nu vɔ̃ si meɖo wɔ o la ta, eye woatsɔe akee.
Let him come to the priest with a sheep, a male without any mark out of the flock, of the value fixed by you, as an offering for his error; and the priest will take away the sin which he did in error, and he will have forgiveness.
19 Ele be wòatsɔe ana abe fɔɖivɔsa ene, elabena eɖi fɔ le Yehowa ŋkume.”
It is an offering for his error: he is certainly responsible before the Lord.
