Mose 3 7
1 “Esiawoe nye se siwo ku ɖe fɔɖivɔsa ŋu. Nu kɔkɔe ƒe nu kɔkɔe wònye.
“These are the regulations concerning the offerings to be made by people who are guilty of not giving to me the things that are required to be given to me. Those are very sacred offerings.
2 “Woawu fɔɖivɔsalã la le afi si wowua numevɔsalãwo le, eye woatsɔ eƒe ʋu ahlẽ ɖe vɔsamlekpui la ŋu godoo akpe ɖo.
Each animal that is to be offered by such people must be slaughtered in the same place where the animals that will be completely burned [on the altar] are slaughtered, and their blood must be sprinkled against all sides of the altar.
3 Nunɔla la atsɔ lã la ƒe amiwo katã, eƒe asike, ami si le dɔmenuwo ŋu,
All their fat, the fat tails that are cut close to the backbone, and all the fat that covers the inner parts of the animals or which is attached to them, must be burned [on the altar].
4 ayiku eveawo kple ami si le wo ŋu kple eƒe aklã asa vɔe ɖe vɔsamlekpui la dzi.
That includes the kidneys with their fat near the lower back muscle, and the protruding lobe that is attached to the liver.
5 Nunɔla la atɔ dzo nu siawo katã le vɔsamlekpui la dzi abe fɔɖivɔsa ene na Yehowa.
The priest must burn them on the altar to be offerings to me, Yahweh. They are an offering for the people to be forgiven for not doing what they were required to do.
6 Ŋutsu siwo tso nunɔlawo ƒe ƒome me la koe aɖu lã la ƒe mamlɛa. Woaɖui le teƒe kɔkɔe aɖe, elabena vɔsa kɔkɔe wònye.
All the males in the priest’s family are permitted to eat its meat, but it must be eaten in a sacred place, because it is very sacred.
7 “Se siawo kee le nu vɔ̃ ŋuti vɔsa kple fɔɖivɔsa siaa ŋu. Woatsɔ lã la ƒe mamlɛa ana nunɔla si wɔ avulévɔsa la wòanye eƒe nuɖuɖu.
“The regulation is the same for the offerings [to enable people to be forgiven for the sins they have committed] and the offerings for when they are guilty of not giving to me the things that are required to be given to me. The meat of those offerings belongs to the priest who offers them in order that the people will be forgiven.
8 Nenye numevɔsae la, ekema woatsɔ lã la ƒe agbalẽ hã ana nunɔla la.
The priest who slaughters an animal that will be completely burned on the altar is permitted to keep the animal’s hide for himself.
9 Nunɔla si sa nuɖuvɔ la na Yehowa la axɔ nuɖuɖu si susɔ ne ewu vɔsa la nu. Woawɔ se sia dzi nenye be wome vɔsanu la le kpo me loo, tɔe le ami me loo alo mee le dzo me.
Offerings of things made from grain that are baked in an oven or cooked in a pan or (in a shallow pan/on a griddle) belong to the priest who makes those offerings [for another person].
10 Nuɖuvɔsa bubuawo katã, ne wode ami wo, alo womede ami wo o hã, anye Aron ƒe viŋutsuwo katã tɔ.
And offerings of things made from grain, whether they were mixed with olive oil or not, also belong to the sons of Aaron.”
11 “Esiawoe nye akpedavɔsa tɔxɛwo na Yehowa ŋu sewo:
These are the regulations concerning the offerings that people make to maintain fellowship [with Yahweh]:
12 “Nenye akpedada tae wole vɔ la sam ɖo la, ekema woatsɔ abolo si wowɔ kple amɔ maʋamaʋã la akpe ɖe vɔsalã la kple akaklɛ̃ si dzi wokɔ ami ɖo kple wɔ memee si woblu kple ami hetsɔ tɔ wɔkakloe la ŋu.
“If you bring an offering to thank [Yahweh], along with [the animal that you slaughter] you must offer loaves of bread made with olive oil mixed [with the flour] but without yeast, and wafers that are made without yeast but with olive oil smeared on them, and loaves made from fine flour with olive oil well mixed with the flour.
13 Ne wole akpedavɔ kple ŋutifafavɔ sam la, woawɔ abolo si wowɔ kple amɔ ʋaʋã la ŋu dɔ.
Along with that offering to thank Yahweh, you must bring an offering of loaves made with yeast.
14 Woatsɔ vɔsa sia ƒe akpa aɖe aɖo Yehowa ŋkume abe vɔsa tɔxɛ ene, ekema woatsɔe ana nunɔla si hlẽa vɔsalã ƒe ʋu.
You must bring one of each kind for an offering to Yahweh, but they belong to the priest who sprinkles against the altar the blood of the animal that is [slaughtered as an offering] to maintain fellowship with Yahweh.
15 Le lã la tsɔtsɔ sa vɔe kple etsɔtsɔ na Yehowa abe ŋutifafavɔsa ene be woaɖe ŋudzedzekpɔkpɔ kple akpedada tɔxɛ afia vɔ megbe la, woaɖu vɔsalã la gbe ma gbe ke, eye ɖeke matsi anyi ŋu nake o.
The meat of that offering must be eaten on the day that it is offered; none of it should be left to [be eaten on] the next day.
16 “Ke ne ame aɖe tsɔ nane vɛ si menye akpedavɔsa o, ke boŋ wònye vɔsa ɖe atam si amea ka ta alo wònye lɔlɔ̃nununana la, ekema vɔsalã si womeɖu le ŋkeke si dzi wosa vɔ la le o la, woate ŋu aɖui ne ŋu ke.
“However, if your offering is the result of a solemn promise that you made to Yahweh, or if it is an offering that you make (voluntarily/without being required to), you are permitted to eat some of the meat on the day it is offered, but anything that is left may be eaten on the next day.
17 Woatɔ dzo vɔsanu si asusɔ va se ɖe ŋkeke etɔ̃a gbe la.
But any meat that is left until the third day must be completely burned.
18 Ne woɖu akpedavɔsalã la ƒe ɖe le ŋkeke etɔ̃a gbe la, womaxɔe nɛ o, womabui na ame si sa vɔ la o, elabena eŋuti mekɔ o, eye ame si aɖui la aɖi fɔ.
If any meat from the offering to maintain fellowship with Yahweh is eaten on the third day, Yahweh will not accept that offering; it will be useless to offer it, because Yahweh will consider that it is worthless. Anyone who eats some of it will have to pay a penalty [to Yahweh].
19 “‘Womaɖu lã si ƒe akpa aɖe ka nu makɔmakɔ aɖe ŋu o, ke boŋ woatɔ dzoe, eye ame si ƒe ŋuti kɔ la koe aɖu lã si wòate ŋu aɖu.
“Meat that touches something [that God considers to be] impure must not be eaten; it must be completely burned. Anyone who has performed the rituals to become acceptable to God is allowed to eat other meat [which has been offered as a sacrifice].
20 Woaɖe nunɔla si ŋuti mekɔ o, gake wòɖu akpedavɔsanu la le wo tɔwo dome, elabena ena nu si nye Yehowa tɔ la trɔ zu nu makɔmakɔ.
But if anyone who has not performed those rituals eats some of the meat of the offering to maintain fellowship with Yahweh, meat that belongs to Yahweh, he must no longer be allowed to associate with God’s people.
21 Woaɖe ame sia ame si aka asi nu makɔmakɔ aɖe ŋu, ne nu makɔmakɔ la tso amegbetɔ alo lã aɖe gbɔ, gake wòaɖu ŋutifafavɔsanu ƒe ɖe la le etɔwo dome, elabena eƒo ɖi nu si nye nu kɔkɔe la.’”
If anyone touches something that God considers to be impure and very displeasing to him, whether it is from a human or from an animal, and then he eats any of the meat of the offering to maintain fellowship with Yahweh, meat that belongs to Yahweh, he must no longer be allowed to associate with God’s people.”
22 Le esia megbe la, Yehowa gblɔ na Mose be,
Yahweh also said to Moses/me:
23 “De se na Israelviwo be, ‘Miekpɔ mɔ aɖu lã ƒe ami o, eɖanye nyi, alẽ alo gbɔ̃ ƒe ami o.
“Say this to the Israeli people: ‘Do not eat any of the fat of cattle or sheep or goats.
24 Miate ŋu awɔ lã si lé dɔ heku alo lã si lã wɔadã aɖe wu la ƒe ami ŋu dɔ le mɔ bubuwo nu, gake mimaɖui gbeɖegbeɖe o.
The fat of an animal that is found dead or that has been killed by a wild animal may be used for other purposes, but you must not eat it.
25 Woaɖe ame sia ame si aɖu lã si wome na Yehowa abe vɔsa ene ƒe ami la le Mawu ƒe ha me.
Anyone who eats the fat of an animal from which an offering has been made to Yahweh must no longer be allowed to associate with God’s people.
26 Eye afi sia afi si miele la, mele be miaɖu xevi alo lã aɖeke ƒe ʋu o.
And wherever you live, you must not eat the blood of any bird or animal.
27 Ne ame aɖe ɖu ʋu la, woaɖee ɖa le eƒe amewo dome.’”
If anyone eats blood, he must no longer be allowed to associate with God’s people.’”
28 Yehowa gagblɔ na Mose be,
Yahweh also said to Moses/me,
29 “Gblɔ na Israelviwo be ame si di be yeasa akpedavɔ na Yehowa la ŋutɔ natsɔ nu siwo wòatsɔ asa vɔ lae la vɛ.
“Tell the Israeli people this: ‘Anyone who brings an offering to maintain fellowship with Yahweh must bring part of it to be a sacrifice to Yahweh.
30 Ele be wòatsɔ vɔsalã la ƒe ami kple eƒe akɔ vɛ, eye woanye wo le yame le vɔsamlekpui la gbɔ si fia be wotsɔ wo na Yehowa.
He himself must bring the offering that will be burned in the fire. He must bring the fat along with the breast of the animal and lift it up in front of Yahweh to indicate that it is an offering to him.
31 Nunɔla la atɔ dzo ami la le vɔsamlekpui la dzi, ke lã la ƒe akɔ anye Aron kple via ŋutsuwo tɔ.
The Supreme Priest must burn the fat on the altar, but the breast belongs to Aaron and all his sons.
32 Mitsɔ miaƒe akpedavɔsalã ƒe ɖusita na nunɔla la.
You must give to the Supreme Priest the right thigh of the animal that is sacrificed to maintain fellowship with Yahweh.
33 Aron ƒe viŋutsu si atsɔ akpedavɔsalã la ƒe ʋu kple ami ana la axɔ lã la ƒe ɖusita,
The son of Aaron who offers the blood and the fat of that sacrifice must be given the right thigh of the animal as his share.
34 elabena metia lã la ƒe akɔ kple ata be woanye Israelviwo ƒe nunana na Aron. Ele be woatsɔ vɔsalãwo ƒe akpa siawo ana Aron kple via ŋutsuwo ɣe sia ɣi.”
From the offerings that the Israeli people give to maintain fellowship with Yahweh, he has declared that he has given to Aaron and his sons the breast that is lifted up and the right thigh that is offered; those portions must always be their regular share from the Israeli people.’”
35 Esiae nye woƒe fetu! Ele be woaɖe wo ɖa tso numevɔsa la gbɔ, eye woatsɔ wo ana ame siwo katã wotia be woasubɔ Yehowa abe nunɔlawo ene. Ame siawoe nye Aron kple via ŋutsuwo,
Those are the portions of the offerings brought/given to Yahweh and burned in fire that are allotted to Aaron and his sons on the day that they are set apart to serve Yahweh as priests.
36 elabena le gbe si gbe wosi ami na Aron kple via ŋutsuwo la, Yehowa de se na Israelviwo be woatsɔ vɔsalã ƒe akpa siawo na wo. Wo tɔ wonye tso dzidzime yi dzidzime.
Yahweh commands that on the day that the priests are appointed [MTY], the Israeli people must always give those portions to the priests.
37 Esiawoe nye se siwo ku ɖe numevɔsa, nuɖuvɔsa, nu vɔ̃ ŋuti vɔsa kple fɔɖivɔsa kple esiwo ku ɖe ameŋutikɔvɔsa kple akpedavɔsa ŋu.
Those are the regulations for the offerings that are to be completely burned on the altar, the offerings made from grain, the offerings to enable people to become acceptable to God again, the offerings for when people are guilty of not giving to Yahweh the things that are required to be given to him, the offerings given when the priests are appointed, and the offerings to maintain fellowship with Yahweh.
38 Yehowa de se siawo na Mose le Sinai to dzi, be wòana Israelviwo nanya ale si woasa vɔe na Yehowa le Sinai gbedzi.
They are regulations that Yahweh gave to Moses/me on Sinai Mountain in the Sinai Desert, on the day that he commanded the Israeli people to start bringing their offerings to him.
