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.
If a soul will have sinned, and heard the voice of one testifying under oath, and he is a witness because either he has seen it himself, or he is aware of it: if he does not reveal it, he shall carry 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.
The soul that will have touched anything unclean, either that which has been killed by a beast, or that which has died on its own, or any other creeping thing, and will have forgotten its uncleanness, he is guilty and has committed a transgression.
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.
And if he will have touched anything from the uncleanness of man, according to every kind of impurity by which he may be defiled, and having forgotten it, afterwards realizes it, he shall be guilty of committing a transgression.
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.
The soul who swears and offers from his own lips that he would do either evil or good, and who will have bound the same with an oath and with his own words, and, having forgotten it, afterwards understands his transgression,
5 Le go siawo dometɔ ɖe sia ɖe me la, ele be wòaʋu eƒe nu vɔ̃ me,
let him do penance for his 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 let him offer from the flocks a female lamb or a she-goat, and the priest shall pray for him and for 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.
But if he is not able to offer a beast, let him offer two turtledoves or two young pigeons to the Lord, one for sin, and the other for a holocaust.
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 give them to the priest, who, offering the first for sin, shall twist back its head to the little wings, so that it adheres to the neck and is not entirely broken off.
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 some of its blood at the side of the altar. But whatever will remain, he shall cause it to drip down to the base, because it is for sin.
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.
Yet truly, the other he shall burn as a holocaust, just as is usually done. And the priest shall pray for him, and for his sin, and he shall be released from it.
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 his hand is unable to offer two turtledoves or two young pigeons, he shall offer, for his sin, the tenth part of an ephah of fine wheat flour. He shall not put oil in it, nor place upon it any frankincense, because it is for sin.
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 deliver it to the priest, who shall take a handful of it, and shall burn it upon the altar as a memorial for him who offered it,
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.’”
praying for him and making atonement. Yet truly, the remaining part he himself shall have as a gift.
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.
If a soul, by mistake, shall have transgressed the ceremonies in those things that are sanctified to the Lord, he shall offer for his offense an immaculate ram from the flocks, such as can be bought for two shekels, according to the weight of the Sanctuary.
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 restitution for the damage that he has brought, and he shall add a fifth part more, delivering it to the priest, who shall pray for him while offering the ram, and he shall be released from it.
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.
If a soul will have sinned through ignorance, and will have done one of those things which the law of the Lord prohibits, and, being guilty of sin, understands his iniquity,
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 offer from the flocks an immaculate ram to the priest, according to the measure and estimation of the sin, who shall pray for him, because he did it unknowingly, and he shall be released from it,
19 Ele be wòatsɔe ana abe fɔɖivɔsa ene, elabena eɖi fɔ le Yehowa ŋkume.”
because by mistake he transgressed against the Lord.
