Mose 4 15

1 Yehowa gblɔ na Mose be,

The Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

2 “Ƒo nu na Israelviwo, eye nàgblɔ na wo be, ‘Ne miege ɖe anyigba si mele mia nam abe mia de ene dzi,

“Speak to the sons of Israel, and you shall say to them: When you will have entered into the land of your habitation, which I will give you,

3 eye miesa dzovɔ na Yehowa tso miaƒe lãhawo me, abe ʋeʋẽ lĩlĩlĩ si dzea Yehowa ŋu la ene, nenye numevɔsa alo vɔsa siwo ku ɖe adzɔgbeɖeɖe tɔxɛwo ŋu, lɔlɔ̃nununana alo Ŋkekenyuiwo ƒe vɔsawo ŋu la,

and you make an offering to the Lord, as a holocaust or as a victim, paying your vows, or as a voluntary offering of gifts, or in your solemnities, burning a sweet odor to the Lord, whether from the oxen or from the sheep:

4 ekema ame si le vɔ la sam la atsɔ nuɖuvɔsa si nye wɔ memee kilogram ɖeka, si wobaka kple ami lita ɖeka na Yehowa,

whoever immolates the victim shall offer a sacrifice of fine wheat flour, the tenth part of an ephah, sprinkled with oil, which shall have the measure of the fourth part of a hin,

5 eye nunovɔsa si nye wain lita ɖeka la akpe ɖe eŋu. Wain hin ɖeka ƒe akpa enelia akpe ɖe alẽvi ɖeka ŋu.

and he shall give the same measure of wine, poured out as libations, whether as a holocaust or as a victim.

6 “‘Nenye agboe wotsɔ le vɔ la sam la, woatsɔ wɔ memee kilogram eve si woblu kple ami lita ɖeka kple afã

With each lamb and each ram, there shall be a sacrifice of fine wheat flour, of two tenths, which shall be sprinkled with one third part of a hin of oil.

7 kple wain lita ɖeka kple afã la akpe ɖe eŋu abe nunovɔsa ene. Esia anye vɔsa si ʋẽna lĩlĩlĩ, eye wòdzea Yehowa ŋu.

And he shall offer the same measure, one third part of wine, for the libation, as a sweet odor to the Lord.

8 “‘Ne ètsɔ nyitsuvi aɖe be yeasa numevɔ, adzɔgbeɖevɔ alo akpedavɔe na Yehowa la,

Yet truly, when you will offer, from the oxen, a holocaust or a victim, in order to fulfill your vow or for peace-offering victims,

9 ekema nàtsɔ nuɖuvɔsa, wɔ memee lita ade kple afã kple ami lita eve akpe ɖe nyitsuvi la ŋu.

you shall give, for each ox, three tenths of fine wheat flour, sprinkled with oil, which has the measure of one half of one hin,

10 Nunovɔsa si akpe ɖe eŋu la anye wain lita eve. Woatsɔ dzo asa vɔ sia, eye wòadze Yehowa ŋu.

and the wine, poured out as libations, shall be of the same measure, as an oblation of most sweet odor to the Lord.

11 Woawɔ nyitsu alo agbo, alẽvi alo gbɔ̃ ɖe sia ɖe ŋu dɔ nenema.

So shall you do

12 Wɔ nu sia na wo dometɔ ɖe sia ɖe, ɖe woƒe agbɔsɔsɔ nu.

for each ox, and ram, and lamb, and young goat.

13 “‘Dzɔleaƒea ɖe sia ɖe awɔ nu siawo ale, ne etsɔ numevɔsanu aɖe vɛ be wòanye ʋeʋẽ lĩlĩlĩ si adze Yehowa ŋu.

Both natives and sojourners

14 Hena dzidzime siwo gbɔna la, ɣe sia ɣi si amedzro aɖe alo ame bubu aɖe, si le mia dome ana dzovɔsanu aɖe be wòanye ʋeʋẽ lĩlĩlĩ na Yehowa la, ele be wòawɔe tututu abe ale si miewɔnɛ ene.

shall offer sacrifices by the same rituals.

15 Se ɖeka mawo ke nanɔ ameha la si na mi kple amedzro siwo le mia dome la siaa elabena miesɔ le Yehowa ƒe ŋkume. Esia nye ɖoɖo mavɔ na dzidzime siwo gbɔna.

There shall be one precept and one judgment, as much for yourselves as for newcomers to the land.”

16 Se kple ɖoɖo mawo ke nakplɔ mi kple amedzro siwo le mia dome.’”

And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

17 Yehowa gblɔ na Mose be,

“Speak to the sons of Israel, and you shall say to them:

18 “Ƒo nu na Israelviwo, eye nàgblɔ na wo be, ‘Ne miege ɖe anyigba si dzi mele mia kplɔm yi dzi,

When you will arrive in the land which I will give to you,

19 eye mieɖu anyigba ma dzi nuɖuɖu la, mitsɔ eƒe ɖe sa vɔe na Yehowa.

and when you will eat from the bread of that region, you shall separate the first-fruits to the Lord

20 Mitsɔ miaƒe wɔ gbãtɔwo tɔ tatalĩ, wòanye vɔsa tso miaƒe lu gbãtɔ si tso lugbɔƒe.

from the foods that you eat. Just as you separate the first-fruits of your threshing floors,

21 To dzidzime siwo ava me la, ele be miasa vɔ sia na Yehowa tso miaƒe luwɔ gbãtɔwo me.’”

so also shall you give the first-fruits of your cooked grains to the Lord.

22 “‘Ne miawo alo miaƒe dzidzimeviwo da vo, eye womewɔ se siwo katã Yehowa de na mi le ƒeawo me to Mose dzi la dzi o la,

And if, through ignorance, you neglect any of these things, which the Lord has spoken to Moses,

23 Yehowa ƒe se siwo wode na mi to edzi tso gbe si gbe Yehowa de wo, woayi edzi to dzidzime siwo gbɔna me,

and which he has commanded through him for you, from the day that he began to command and thereafter,

24 eye menye nu si woɖo wɔ, eye ameha la menya nu tso eŋu o la, ameha blibo la ana nyitsu fɛ̃ aɖe hena numevɔsa hena ʋeʋẽ lĩlĩlĩ si adze Yehowa ŋu hekpe ɖe eƒe nuɖuvɔsa kple nunovɔsa si woɖo da ɖi kple gbɔ̃tsu ɖeka na nu vɔ̃ ŋuti vɔsa ŋu.

and if the multitude will have forgotten to do it, then they shall offer a calf from the herd, a holocaust as a most sweet odor to the Lord, and its sacrifice and libations, just as the ceremonies ask, and a he-goat for sin.

25 Nunɔla alé avu ɖe Israelviwo katã nu, eye woatsɔ woƒe nu vɔ̃wo ake wo, elabena vodadae, eye woɖɔ vodada sia ɖo to dzovɔsa kple nu vɔ̃ ŋuti vɔsa me le Yehowa ŋkume.

And the priest shall pray for the entire multitude of the sons of Israel, and it shall be forgiven them, because they did not sin willfully. Nevertheless, they shall offer incense to the Lord for themselves, and for sin, as well as for their error.

26 Woatsɔ nu vɔ̃ ake ame sia ame; woatsɔe ake amedzro siwo le Israelviwo dome hã, elabena ameha blibo lae da vo, eya ta ameha blibo la akpɔ gome le tsɔtsɔke la me.

And it shall be forgiven all the people of the sons of Israel, as well as the newcomers who sojourn among them, for it is the culpability of all the people through neglect.

27 “‘Nenye ame ɖekae da vo la, ekema amea ana gbɔ̃nɔe si xɔ ƒe ɖeka la na nu vɔ̃ ŋuti vɔsa.

But if one soul will have sinned by not knowing, he shall offer a one-year-old she-goat for his sin.

28 Nunɔla la alé avu ɖe enu le Yehowa ŋkume, eye wòatsɔ eƒe nu vɔ̃ akee.

And the priest shall pray for him, because he sinned unknowingly before the Lord. And he shall obtain pardon for him, and it will be forgiven him.

29 Se sia bla mi ame Israelvi dzɔleaƒeawo kple amedzro siwo le mia dome hã.

One law shall be for all who sin by ignorance, as much for natives as for newcomers.

30 “‘Ke ne ame aɖe nya nyuie hafi da vo aɖe la, nenye Israelvi alo amedzro hã la, ekema edo vlo Yehowa, eya ta ele be woaɖee ɖa le eƒe amewo dome.

Yet truly, the soul who commits any of these acts through arrogance, whether he is a citizen or a sojourner, because he has rebelled against the Lord, shall perish from among his people.

31 Esi wòdo vlo Yehowa ƒe sewo abe nu ɖowɔ ene, eye wònya nyuie hafi da le eƒe se dzi la, ele be woawui, eye eƒe nu vɔ̃ anɔ eya ŋutɔ dzi.’”

For he has despised the word of the Lord, and he has nullified his precept. For this reason, he shall be destroyed, and he shall bear his iniquity.”

32 Gbe ɖeka esime Israelviwo nɔ gbedzi la, wolé Israelvi aɖe wònɔ nake fɔm le Dzudzɔgbe la dzi.

And it happened that, when the sons of Israel were in the wilderness, and they had found a man collecting wood on the day of the Sabbath,

33 Wokplɔe yi Mose kple Aron kple ameha la ŋkume.

they brought him to Moses and Aaron, and to the whole multitude.

34 Wodee mɔ va se ɖe esime woanya nu si Yehowa adi be woawɔ.

And they enclosed him in a prison, not knowing what they should do with him.

35 Yehowa gblɔ na Mose be, “Ele be ŋutsu la naku. Ele be ameawo katã naƒu kpee le asaɖa la godo wòaku.”

And the Lord said to Moses, “Let that man be put to death; let the entire crowd crush him with stones, outside the camp.”

36 Ale wohee yi asaɖa la godo, eye wowui abe ale si Yehowa ɖo na wo ene.

And when they had led him out, they overwhelmed him with stones, and he died, just as the Lord had instructed.

37 Yehowa gblɔ na Mose be,

The Lord also said to Moses:

38 “Ƒo nu na Israelviwo, eye nàgblɔ na wo be, ‘Mia kple miaƒe dzidzimeviwo miade gbo miaƒe avɔwo ƒe dzogoewo to, eye ka blɔtɔ nanɔ gbo ɖe sia ɖe ŋu.

“Speak to the sons of Israel, and you shall tell them to make for themselves hems at the corners of their cloaks, placing in them ribbons of hyacinth,

39 Ne miekpɔ gbo siawo la, ekema miaɖo ŋku se siwo katã Yehowa de na mi la dzi be miawɔ wo dzi, eye miagatsɔ mia ɖokuiwo adzra na ŋutilãmenuwo, miaƒe dzi ƒe nudzodzrowo kple nu siwo miaƒe ŋku kpɔna la o.

so that, when they see these, they may remember all the commandments of the Lord, and they may not follow their own thoughts and eyes, fornicating in various ways,

40 Ekema miaɖo ŋku edzi, awɔ nye sewo katã dzi, eye miakɔ mia ɖokuiwo ŋuti na miaƒe Mawu la.

but instead, they, being more mindful of the precepts of the Lord, may do them and may be holy to their God.

41 Nyee nye Yehowa, miaƒe Mawu, ame si kplɔ mi do goe tso Egipte be manye miaƒe Mawu. Nyee nye Yehowa, miaƒe Mawu.’”

I am the Lord your God, who led you away from the land of Egypt, so that I may be your God.”
