Mose 4 15

1 Yehowa gblɔ na Mose be,

The Lord told Moses,

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

“Tell the Israelites, ‘These are instructions about what you are to do once you arrive in the country I'm giving you to live in.

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,

When you bring an offering to the Lord from your herd or flock (whether it's a burnt offering, a sacrifice to fulfill a promise you made, or a freewill or festival offering) that will be acceptable to the Lord,

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,

then you shall also present a grain offering of one tenth of an ephah of best flour mixed with a quarter hin of olive oil.

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

Add a quarter of a hin of wine as a drink offering to the burn offering or the sacrifice of a lamb.

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

When it comes to a ram, present a grain offering of two tenths of an ephah of best flour mixed with a third of a hin of olive 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.

along with a third of a hin of wine as a drink offering, all of them to be acceptable to the Lord.

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

When you bring a young bull as a burnt offering or a sacrifice to fulfill a promise you made or as a peace offering to the Lord,

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

then you shall also with the bull a grain offering of three-tenths of an ephah of the best flour mixed with half a hin of olive oil.

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

Add a half a hin of wine as a drink offering. All this is an offering to be acceptable to the Lord.

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

This is to be done for every bull, ram, lamb, or goat brought as an offering.

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

This is what you need to do for each one, however many.

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

Every Israelite is to follow these instructions when they present an offering that is accepted by the Lord.

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.

This also applies for all future generations that if a foreigner living among you or anyone else among you wishes to present an offering acceptable to the Lord: they are to do exactly what you do.

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.

The whole congregation must have the same rules for you and for the foreigner living among you. This is a permanent law for all future generations You and the foreigner are to be treated the same way before the law.

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

The same rules and regulations apply to you and the foreigner living among you.’”

17 Yehowa gblɔ na Mose be,

Then the Lord told Moses,

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

“Tell the Israelites, ‘When you get to the country where I'm leading you

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

and you eat the food produced there, you shall give some of it as an offering to the Lord.

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

You are to give some of the flour you make into loaves as a gift—present it just like an offering from the threshing floor.

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

For all future generations, you are to give the Lord an offering from the first of your flour.

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,

Now if you collectively sin without meaning to and don't follow all these instructions that the Lord has given 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,

everything that the Lord has ordered you to do through Moses from the time that the Lord gave them and for all future generations—

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 it was done unintentionally without everyone knowing about it, then the whole congregation is to present a young bull as a burnt offering to be accepted by the Lord, along with its grain offering and drink offering presented according to the rules, as well as a male goat as a sin offering.

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.

In this way the priest is to make the whole congregation of Israel right with the Lord so that they can be forgiven, because the sin was unintentional and they have presented the Lord with an burnt offering and a sin offering, offered before the Lord for their unintentional sin.

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.

Then the whole congregation of Israel and the foreigners living among them will be forgiven, because the people sinned unintentionally.

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

In the case of an individual who sins without meaning to—they are to present a year-old female goat as a sin offering.

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

The priest will make the person who sinned unintentionally right before the Lord their behalf. Once they have been made right, they will be forgiven.

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

You shall apply the same law for the one who mistakenly sins to an Israelite or a foreigner living among you.

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.

But the person who sins in defiance, whether an Israelite or foreigner, is blaspheming the Lord. They shall be expelled from their 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.’”

They have to be expelled, because they have treated the word of the Lord with contempt and broken his commandment. They are responsible for the consequences of their own guilt.’”

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

During the time the Israelites were wandering in the desert, a man was caught collecting firewood on the Sabbath.

33 Wokplɔe yi Mose kple Aron kple ameha la ŋkume.

The people who found him collecting wood brought him before Moses, Aaron, and the rest of the Israelites.

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

They placed him under guard because it wasn't clear what should happen to him.

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

The Lord told Moses, “This man has to be executed. All the Israelites are to stone him outside the camp.”

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

So they all took the man outside the camp and stoned him to death as the Lord had ordered Moses.

37 Yehowa gblɔ na Mose be,

Sometime later the Lord told 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.

“Tell the Israelites that for all future generations you must make tassels for the hems of your clothes and attach them with blue cord.

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.

When you look at these tassels you will be reminded to keep all the commandments of the Lord and not be unfaithful, following your own thoughts and desires.

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

In this way you'll remember to keep all my commandments and you will be holy to your God. I am the Lord your God who led you out of Egypt to be your 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!”
