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 any person sin, because he heareth the voice of adjuration, and he is a witness, since he hath either seen or knoweth something; if he do not tell it, and thus 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.

Or if there be a person who toucheth any unclean thing, whether it be the carcass of an unclean beast, or the carcass of unclean cattle, or the carcass of an unclean creeping thing, and it escape his recollection; but [he becometh aware that] he is unclean, and hath [thus] incurred guilt;

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 touch the uncleanness of man, whatsoever uncleanness of the kind it be by which he can be defiled, and it escape his recollection; but he becometh aware of it, and [that] he hath [thus] incurred guilt;

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 any person swear, by pronouncing with his lips to do evil, or to do good [to himself], in whatsoever it be that a man pronounceth with an oath, and it escape his recollection; but he becometh aware of it that he hath incurred guilt by any one of these:

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

And it shall be, if he have incurred guilt by any one of these [things, ] that he shall confess that concerning which he hath sinned;

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 his trespass-offering unto the Lord for his sin which he hath committed, a female from the flocks, a sheep or a goat, for a sin-offering; and the priest shall make an atonement for him concerning 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 his means be not sufficient for a sheep, then shall he bring as his offering [for the trespass] which he hath committed, two turtle-doves, or two young pigeons, unto 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 unto the priest, and he shall offer that which is for the sin-offering first, and pinch off its head by the back of its neck, but shall not divide it asunder:

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 the blood of the sin-offering upon the wall of the altar: and the rest of the blood shall be wrung out at the bottom 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 shall he prepare as a burnt-offering, according to the prescribed order; and the priest shall make an atonement for him for his sin which he hath committed, and it shall be forgiven unto 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.

But if his means be not sufficient for two turtle-doves, or two young pigeons, then shall he bring as his offering for that which he hath sinned, the tenth part of an ephah of fine flour for a sin-offering; he shall not put upon it any oil, nor shall he put thereupon any frankincense; 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 he shall bring it to the priest; and the priest shall take from it his handful, as its memorial, and burn it on the altar, upon the fire-offerings of 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 an atonement for him concerning his sin that he hath committed in one of these, and it shall be forgiven unto him; and it shall belong to the priest, as the meat-offering.

14 Yehowa gblɔ na Mose be,

And the Lord spoke unto 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 any person commit a trespass, and sin through ignorance, against the holy things of the Lord: then shall he bring as his trespass-offering unto the Lord a ram without blemish out of the flocks, in value of two shekels of silver, after the shekel of the sanctuary, for a trespass-offering.

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 that, in which he hath sinned against the holy thing, shall he pay, and shall add its fifth part thereto, and give it unto the priest; and the priest shall make an atonement for him with the ram of the trespass-offering, and it shall be forgiven unto 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 if any person sin, and commit any one of the prohibitions of the Lord which ought not to be done; and he know not whether he have incurred guilt, and so bear 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.

Then shall he bring a ram without blemish out of the flocks, of the usual value, for a trespass-offering, unto the priest: and the priest shall make an atonement for him concerning his sin of ignorance, wherein he hath erred and knoweth it not, and it shall be forgiven unto him.

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

It is a trespass-offering: he hath in trespassing trespassed against the Lord.
