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 a soul sin, and hear the voice of swearing, and he is a witness or has seen or been conscious, if he do not report it, he shall bear his iniquity.

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.

That soul which shall touch any unclean thing, or carcase, or [that which is] unclean being taken of beasts, or the dead bodies of abominable [reptiles] which are unclean, or carcases of unclean cattle,

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 should touch the uncleanness of a man, or whatever kind, which he may touch and be defiled by, and it should have escaped him, but afterwards he should know, —then he shall have transgressed.

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.

That unrighteous soul, which determines with his lips to do evil or to do good according to whatever a man may determine with an oath, and it shall have escaped his notice, and he shall [afterwards] know [it], and [so] he should sin in some one of these things:

5 Le go siawo dometɔ ɖe sia ɖe me la, ele be wòaʋu eƒe nu vɔ̃ me,

—then shall he declare his sin in the tings wherein he has sinned by that sin.

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 he shall bring for his transgressions against the Lord, for his sin which he has sinned, a ewe lamb of the flock, or a kid of the goats, for a sin-offering; and the priest shall make an atonement for him for his sin which he has sinned, and his sin shall be forgiven him.

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 can’t afford a sheep, he shall bring for his sin which he has sinned, two turtledoves or two young pigeons to the Lord; one for a sin-offering, and the other for a burnt 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 he shall bring them to the priest, and the priest shall bring the sin-offering first; and the priest shall pinch off the head from the neck, and shall not divide the body.

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 shall sprinkle of the blood of the sin-offering on the side of the altar, but the rest of the blood he shall drop at the foot of the altar, for 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 he shall make the second a whole burnt offering, as it is fit; and the priest shall make atonement for his sin which he has sinned, and it shall be forgiven him.

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.

And if he can’t afford a pair of turtledoves, or two young pigeons, then shall he bring as his gift for his sin, the tenth part of an ephah of fine flour for a sin-offering; he shall not pour oil upon it, nor shall he put frankincense upon it, because 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 he shall bring it to the priest; and the priest having taken a handful of it, shall lay the memorial of it on the altar of whole burnt offerings to the Lord; 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 shall make atonement for him for his sin, which he has sinned in one of these things, and it shall be forgiven him; and that which is left shall be the priest's, as an offering of fine flour.

14 Yehowa gblɔ na Mose be,

And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

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.

The soul which shall be really unconscious, and shall sin unwillingly in any of the holy things of the Lord, shall even bring to the Lord for his transgression, a ram of the flock without blemish, valued according to shekels of silver according to the shekel of the sanctuary, for his [transgression] wherein he transgressed.

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 shall make compensation for that wherein he has sinned in the holy things; and he shall add the fifth part to it, and give it to the priest; and the priest shall make atonement for him with the ram of transgression, and [his sin] shall be forgiven him.

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 the soul which shall sin, and do one thing [against] any of the commandments of the Lord, which it is not right to do, and has not known it, and shall have transgressed, and shall have contracted guilt,

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.

he shall even bring a ram without blemish from the flock, [valued] at a price of silver for his transgression to the priest; and the priest shall make atonement for his trespass of ignorance, wherein he ignorantly trespassed, and he knew it not; and it shall be forgiven him.

19 Ele be wòatsɔe ana abe fɔɖivɔsa ene, elabena eɖi fɔ le Yehowa ŋkume.”

For he has surely been guilty of transgression before the Lord.
