Mose 4 6
1 Yehowa gblɔ na Mose be,
And the Lord said to Moses,
2 “Ƒo nu na Israelviwo, eye nàgblɔ na wo be, ‘Ne ŋutsu aɖe alo nyɔnu aɖe di be yeaɖe adzɔgbe tɔxɛ aɖe hekɔ eɖokui ŋu na Yehowa abe Nazaritɔ ene la,
Say to the children of Israel, If a man or a woman takes an oath to keep himself separate and give himself to the Lord;
3 mele nɛ be wòano wain alo nu muame aɖeke alo aha sesẽ si wowɔ tso wain me alo aha si wotsɔ ɖo ƒãe o. Mano waintsetse me tsi alo aɖu waintsetse o.
He is to keep himself from wine and strong drink, and take no mixed wine or strong drink or any drink made from grapes, or any grapes, green or dry.
4 Ŋkeke ale si wònye Nazaritɔ ko la, maɖu naneke si do tso waintsetse me o; maɖu kuawo alo tsroa gɔ̃ hã o.
All the time he is separate he may take nothing made from the grape-vine, from its seeds to its skin.
5 “‘Le ɣeyiɣi mawo katã me la, mele be wòako ta alo alũ ge gɔ̃ hã o, elabena enye ame kɔkɔe, eye wokɔ eŋuti na Yehowa. Eya ta ele nɛ be wòagblẽ eƒe ɖa ɖi wòato ʋluyaa.
All the time he is under his oath let no blade come near his head; till the days while he is separate are ended he is holy and his hair may not be cut.
6 “‘Le ɣeyiɣi si me wòɖe eɖokui ɖe aga na Yehowa la, mate ɖe ame kuku ŋu o.
All the time he is separate he may not come near any dead body.
7 Ne eya ŋutɔ fofoa alo dadaa alo nɔvia ŋutsu alo nɔvia nyɔnu gɔ̃ hã ku la, magblẽ kɔ ɖo na eɖokui le wo ta o, elabena eƒe ɖokuitsɔtsɔ na Mawu ƒe dzesi le ta dzi nɛ,
He may not make himself unclean for his father or his mother, his sister or his brother, if death comes to them; because he is under an oath to keep himself separate for God.
8 eye wokɔ eŋuti na Yehowa to ɣeyiɣi la katã me.
All the time he is separate he is holy to the Lord.
9 “‘Ne ame aɖe ku le exa la, ame kuku la gblẽ kɔ ɖo nɛ, ekema ako ta le ŋkeke adre megbe. Ekema eŋuti akɔ tso ale si amea nɔ egbɔ hafi ku la ta.
If death comes suddenly to a man at his side, so that he becomes unclean, let his hair be cut off on the day when he is made clean, on the seventh day.
10 Le ŋkeke enyilia gbe la, ele be wòatsɔ akpakpa eve alo ahɔnɛvi eve ayi na nunɔla le agbadɔ la ƒe mɔnu.
And on the eighth day let him take to the priest, at the door of the Tent of meeting, two doves or two young pigeons;
11 Nunɔla la atsɔ xeviawo dometɔ ɖeka asa nu vɔ̃ vɔsa, eye wòatsɔ evelia asa numevɔe. Ale wòalé avu le ale si wògblẽ kɔ ɖoe la ta. Agbugbɔ eƒe adzɔgbe la aɖe gbe ma gbe, eye wòana eƒe ɖa nagade asi toto me.
And the priest will give one for a sin-offering and the other for a burned offering to take away the sin which came on him on account of the dead, and he will make his head holy that same day.
12 Ŋkeke siwo wòwɔ eƒe adzɔgbeɖeɖe dzi hafi gblẽ kɔ ɖo la, megale eme o. Ele nɛ be wòagadze eƒe adzɔgbeɖeɖe la dzi wɔwɔ gɔme kple eƒe adzɔgbe yeye la, eye wòana alẽ si xɔ ƒe ɖeka hena eƒe nu vɔ̃ ŋuti vɔsa.
And he will give to the Lord his days of being separate, offering a he-lamb of the first year as an offering for error: but the earlier days will be a loss, because he became unclean.
13 “‘Ne adzɔgbe si wòɖe be yeaɖe ye ɖokui ɖe aga na Yehowa ƒe ɣeyiɣi wu enu la, ele be wòayi agbadɔ la ƒe mɔnu,
And this is the law for him who is separate, when the necessary days are ended: he is to come to the door of the Tent of meeting,
14 eye wòasa numevɔ na Yehowa kple alẽ si xɔ ƒe ɖeka, eye wòde blibo. Ele be wòagana alẽnɔ si xɔ ƒe ɖeka, eye wòde blibo hena nu vɔ̃ ŋuti vɔsa kple agbo ɖeka si de blibo la na ŋutifafavɔsa.
And make his offering to the Lord; one he-lamb of the first year, without a mark, for a burned offering, and one female lamb of the first year, without a mark, for a sin-offering, and one male sheep, without a mark, for peace-offerings,
15 Kpe ɖe esiawo ŋu la, agana abolo si wowɔ kple amɔ maʋamaʋã kusi ɖeka, akpɔnɔ siwo wowɔ kple wɔ memee si dzi wokɔ ami ɖo, aboŋgo si wowɔ kple wɔ maʋamaʋã si dzi wokɔ ami ɖo, eye wòagatsɔ nuɖuvɔsa kple nunovɔsa akpe ɖe nu siawo ŋu.
And a basket of unleavened bread, cakes of the best meal mixed with oil, and thin unleavened cakes covered with oil, with their meal offering and drink offerings.
16 “‘Nunɔla la atsɔ nunana siawo ada ɖe Yehowa ŋkume. Atsɔ nu vɔ̃ ŋuti vɔsa la ana gbã, emegbe la, wòana numevɔsa la.
And the priest will take them before the Lord, and make his sin-offering and his burned offering;
17 Le esiawo megbe la, atsɔ agbo la hena ŋutifafavɔsa na Yehowa kple abolo maʋamaʋã la ƒe kusi, eye wòawu enu kple nuɖuvɔsa la kple nunovɔsa la.
Giving the sheep of the peace-offerings, with the basket of unleavened bread; and at the same time, the priest will make his meal offering and his drink offering.
18 “‘Azɔ la, adzɔgbeɖela la ako eƒe ɖa ʋluya la, si nye eƒe adzɔgbeɖeɖe ƒe dzesi. Awɔ nu sia le agbadɔ la ƒe mɔnu. Le esia megbe la, woatsɔ ɖa si wòko la ade dzo me le ŋutifafavɔsa la te.
Then let his long hair, the sign of his oath, be cut off at the door of the Tent of meeting, and let him put it on the fire on which the peace-offerings are burning.
19 “‘Le takoko na adzɔgbeɖela la megbe la, nunɔla la atsɔ agbo la ƒe abɔ memee, abolo maʋamaʋãwo kple aboŋgo maʋamaʋãwo dometɔ ɖeka, eye wòatsɔ wo katã ade asi na adzɔgbeɖela la.
And the priest will take the cooked leg of the sheep and one unleavened cake and one thin cake out of the basket, and put them on the hands of the separate one after his hair has been cut,
20 Nunɔla la anye wo katã le yame, tso afii yi afi mɛ le Yehowa ŋkume abe vɔsa ene. Wonye nunana kɔkɔe na nunɔla la kpe ɖe eƒe axa kple abɔ siwo wònye le yame le Yehowa ŋkume la ŋuti. Le esia megbe la, adzɔgbeɖela la ate ŋu ano wain azɔ, elabena evo tso eƒe adzɔgbeɖeɖe me.
Waving them for a wave offering before the Lord; this is holy for the priest, together with the waved breast and the leg which is lifted up; after that, the man may take wine.
21 “‘Esiawoe nye se siwo ku ɖe ame si ɖe adzɔgbe be yeaɖe ye ɖokui ɖe aga ɣeyiɣi aɖe na Yehowa kple eƒe vɔsawo ne ɣeyiɣi la wu enu la ŋu. Hekpe ɖe vɔsa siawo ŋu la, ele be adzɔgbeɖela la nagana nu bubu siwo ŋugbe wòdo le eƒe adzɔgbeɖeɣi.’”
This is the law for him who takes an oath to keep himself separate, and for his offering to the Lord on that account, in addition to what he may be able to get; this is the law of his oath, which he will have to keep.
22 Eye Yehowa ƒo nu kple Mose be,
And the Lord said to Moses,
23 “Gblɔ na Aron kple via ŋutsuwo be: ‘Ale miayra Israelviwo, agblɔe nye esi:
Say to Aaron and his sons, These are the words of blessing which are to be used by you in blessing the children of Israel; say to them,
24 “‘“Yehowa ayra wò, eye wòakpɔ dziwò!
May the Lord send his blessing on you and keep you:
25 Yehowa akɔ ŋkume ɖe wò, eye wòave nuwò!
May the light of the Lord's face be shining on you in grace:
26 Yehowa atrɔ mo ɖe gbɔwò, eye wòana ŋutifafa wò.”’
May the Lord's approval be resting on you and may he give you peace.
27 “Ale woayɔ nye ŋkɔ atɔ ɖe Israelviwo ŋu, eye mayra wo.”
So they will put my name on the children of Israel, and I will give them my blessing.
