2 Mose 29

1 “Ɔkwan a ɛsɛ sɛ mofa so hyɛ Aaron ne ne mma asɔfo ni: Momfa nantwi ba ne adwennini abien a wɔn ho nni dɛm.

“But you shall also do this, so that they may be consecrated to me in the priesthood: Take a calf from the herd, and two immaculate rams,

2 Na momfa esiam muhumuhu a mmɔkaw nni mu nyɛ brodo a ɛyɛ dɛ ne tetare a wɔde ngo afra ne ɔfam a wɔde ngo agu so.

and unleavened bread, and a crust without leaven that has been sprinkled with oil, likewise, unleavened cakes smeared with oil. You shall make them all from the same wheat flour.

3 Fa brodo no gu kɛntɛn mu na fa nantwi ba no ne odwennini no ka ho bra Ahyiae Ntamadan no ano.

And, having placed them in baskets, you shall offer them, along with the calf and the two rams.

4 Momfa Aaron ne ne mmabarima no mmra Ahyiae Ntamadan no kwan ano hɔ, na momfa nsu nguare wɔn.

And you shall bring forward Aaron and his sons, to the door of the tabernacle of the testimony. And when you will have washed the father with his sons in water,

5 Momfa Aaron atade yuu no nhyɛ no. Monhyɛ no atade kɔnsin no, nʼasɔfotade no ne adɛbo no ne nkyekyeremu no,

you shall clothe Aaron in his vestments, that is, with the linen, and the tunic, and the ephod, and the breastplate, which you shall draw together with the wide belt.

6 na momfa abotiri a sikakɔkɔɔ bobɔ mu no mmɔ no.

And you shall place the headdress on his head and the holy plate upon the headdress.

7 Momfa ɔsrango no na munhwie ngu ne ti so.

And you shall pour the oil of unction over his head. And so, by this rite, he shall be consecrated.

8 Ne mmabarima no nso, momfa wɔn ntade yuu no nhyehyɛ wɔn.

Likewise, you shall bring forward his sons, and you shall clothe them in the linen tunics, and wrap them with the wide belt:

9 Momfa wɔn nkyekyeremu no nka wɔn ho. Saa kwan yi so na momfa nhyɛ Aaron ne ne mma ne wɔn asefo mma wɔnyɛ asɔfo daa nyinaa.

Aaron, certainly, as well as his sons. And you shall impose headdresses upon them. And they shall be priests to me by a perpetual ordinance. After you have initiated their hands,

10 “Mode nantwi ba no bɛba Ahyiae Ntamadan no anim na Aaron ne ne mmabarima de wɔn nsa agu aboa no apampam.

you shall bring forward also the calf, in the presence of the tabernacle of the testimony. And Aaron and his sons shall lay their hands upon its head.

11 Munkum no wɔ Awurade anim wɔ Ahyiae Ntamadan no kwan ano.

And you shall sacrifice it in the sight of the Lord, beside the door of the tabernacle of the testimony.

12 Momfa ne mogya nsrasra mmɛn a etuatua afɔremuka no ho no so. Momfa mo nsateaa na ɛnyɛ, na munhwie mogya a ɛbɛka no ngu afɔremuka no ase.

And taking some of the blood of the calf, you shall place it upon the horns of the altar with your finger, but the remainder of the blood you shall pour next to its base.

13 Munyi ne mu srade no ne ne bɔnwoma kotoku no ne ne asaabo abien no ne srade a ɛwɔ ho no na monhyew no wɔ afɔremuka no so.

And you shall take all the fat which covers its intestines, and the mesh of the liver, as well as the two kidneys, and the fat that is on them, and you shall offer them as a burnt offering upon the altar.

14 Mmom momfa aboa no ne ne were ne nʼagyanan no mfi hɔ nkɔ afikyiri na monkɔhyew no sɛ bɔne ho afɔrebɔ.

Yet truly, the flesh of the calf, and the hide and the dung, you shall burn outside, beyond the camp, because it is for sin.

15 “Sɛ wɔrebekum adwennini no nso a, Aaron ne ne mmabarima no mfa wɔn nsa ngu aboa no baako apampam

Likewise, you shall take one ram, and upon its head Aaron and his sons shall lay their hands.

16 na wonkum no. Wɔnsɔw ne mogya no na wɔmfa mpete afɔremuka no ho nyinaa.

And when you will have sacrificed it, you shall take from its blood and pour it around the altar.

17 Twitwa odwennini no asinasin na hohoro nʼayamde no mu ne nʼanan no ho; fa ne ti no ne nea moatwitwa no gu faako

Then you shall cut the ram into pieces, and, having washed its intestines and feet, you shall place these upon the cut-up flesh and upon its head.

18 na monhyew no wɔ afɔremuka no so; ɛyɛ ɔhyew afɔre a ɛsɔ Awurade ani.

And you shall offer the entire ram as a burnt offering upon the altar. It is an oblation to the Lord, a most sweet odor of the victim of the Lord.

19 “Momfa odwennini a aka no na Aaron ne ne mmabarima mfa wɔn nsa ngu nʼapampam,

Likewise, you shall take the other ram, upon whose head Aaron and his sons shall lay their hands.

20 Munkum no na monsɔw mogya no bi na momfa ketewaa bi nsosɔ Aaron ne ne mmabarima no aso nifa, wɔn kokurobeti nifa ne wɔn anan nifa kokurobeti so. Afei mompete nkae no ngu afɔremuka no ho nyinaa.

And when you will have immolated it, you shall take of its blood, and place it on the tip of the right ear of Aaron and his sons, and on the thumbs and big toes of their right hand and right foot, and you shall pour the blood upon the altar, all around.

21 Montworɔw mogya a ɛwɔ afɔremuka no so no bi na momfa mfra ɔsrango na momfa mpete Aaron ne ne mmabarima no so ne wɔn ntade mu. Ɛnam saa so bɛma wɔn ne wɔn ntade ho atew wɔ Awurade anim.

And when you have taken from the blood that is on the altar, and from the oil of unction, you shall sprinkle Aaron and his vestment, his sons and their vestments. And after they and their vestments have been consecrated,

22 “Momfa odwennini no srade ne ne dua ne ne mu srade ne ne bɔnwoma kotoku ne nʼasaabo abien ne ɛho srade ne ne srɛ nifa. Eyi ne odwennini a wɔde bɛhyɛ Aaron ne ne mmabarima asɔfo no.

you shall take the fat of the ram, and the rump, and the lard that covers the internal organs, and the mesh of the liver, and the two kidneys along with the fat that is on them, and the right shoulder, because it is the ram of consecration,

23 Momfa brodo mua baako ne tetare a wɔde ɔsrango afra, na munyi ɔfam baako mfi kɛntɛn a wɔde brodo a mmɔkaw nni mu agu mu a wɔde asi Awurade anim no mu.

and one turn of bread, a crust sprinkled with oil, and a cake from the basket of unleavened bread, which was placed in the sight of the Lord.

24 Momfa eyinom nhyɛ Aaron ne ne mmabarima nsam na wɔmfa nkyerɛ sɛ afɔrebɔde mma Awurade.

And you shall place all these in the hands of Aaron and his sons, and you shall sanctify them, lifting them up in the sight of the Lord.

25 Ɛno akyi no, munnye mfi wɔn nsam na monhyew no wɔ afɔremuka no so sɛ ohuam afɔre mma no.

And you shall take all these things from their hands and burn them upon the altar as a holocaust, as a most sweet odor in the sight of the Lord, because it is his oblation.

26 Momfa Aaron asɔfohyɛguan no yan no a munhim wɔ Awurade anim sɛ ohim afɔrebɔ, na ɛbɛyɛ mo kyɛfa.

Likewise, you shall take the chest of the ram, with which Aaron was initiated, and you shall sanctify it, lifting it up in the sight of the Lord, and it will fall to your share.

27 “Montew asɔfohyɛ dwennini no akwaa, ne koko a wohimii ne ne srɛ a wɔde mae a ɛyɛ Aaron ne ne mmabarima de no ho.

And you shall sanctify both the consecrated chest and the shoulder that you separated from the ram,

28 Ɛsɛ sɛ eyi yɛ Israelfo asɛde sɛ wɔbɛyɛ ama Aaron ne ne mmabarima. Ɛyɛ Israelfo no fam asomdwoe afɔre a ɛsɛ sɛ wɔbɔ ma Awurade.

with which Aaron was initiated with his sons, and these will fall to the share of Aaron and his sons, as a perpetual oath by the sons of Israel. For these are the greatest and the first of their victims of peace, which they offer to the Lord.

29 “Aaron ntade kronkron yi bɛyɛ nʼasefo de na wɔatumi ahyɛ ama wɔasra wɔn ngo ahyɛ wɔn asɔfo.

But the holy vestment, which Aaron shall use, his sons shall possess after him, so that they may be anointed in it and their hands may be consecrated.

30 Ɔsɔfopanyin biara a obedi Aaron ade no bɛhyɛ saa ntade yi nnanson ansa na wafi nʼasɔfodwuma ase wɔ Ahyiae Ntamadan no mu ne kronkronbea hɔ.

For seven days, he who is high priest in his place and who enters the tabernacle of the testimony to minister in the Sanctuary shall use it.

31 “Fa odwennini no nam a wɔatew ho no ne odwennini nam a wɔde hyɛɛ ɔsɔfo no na monnoa no wɔ baabi a ɛhɔ tew.

But you shall take the ram of consecration and cook its flesh in the holy place.

32 Aaron ne ne mmabarima bedi brodo a ɛwɔ kɛntɛn no mu no, na wɔde nam no abɔ so wɔ Ahyiae Ntamadan no ano.

And Aaron and his sons shall feed on it. Likewise, the loaves which are in the basket, they shall consume in the vestibule of the tabernacle of the testimony,

33 Wɔn nko ara na wɔbɛwe nam no adi nnuan a wɔde tew wɔn ho no. Nnipa a wɔmfra asɔfo abusua no mu no renni bi, efisɛ wɔatew ho.

so that it may be an appeasing sacrifice, and so that the hands of those who offer may be sanctified. A stranger shall not eat from these, for they are holy.

34 Sɛ ade kye asɔfohyɛ dwennini anaa brodo no bi so a, monhyew. Ɛnsɛ sɛ wodi, efisɛ ɛyɛ kronkron.

And what may remain until morning, of the consecrated flesh or of the bread, you shall burn these remnants with fire. These shall not be eaten, because they have been sanctified.

35 “Eyi ne ɔkwan a momfa so nhyɛ Aaron ne ne mmabarima no asɔfo. Nnanson na wɔmfa nni saa asɔfohyɛ no ho dwuma.

All that I have instructed you concerning Aaron and his sons, you shall do. For seven days shall you consecrate their hands,

36 Da biara, mode nantwi ba bɛbɔ afɔre de adwira mo ho. Ɛno akyi no, mompra afɔremuka no ho bɔne nyinaa na monyɛ no kronkron na monhwie ngo ngu so mfa ntew ho.

and you shall offer a calf for sin on each day, as an atonement. And you shall cleanse the altar when you will have immolated the victim of expiation, and you shall anoint it for sanctification.

37 Montew afɔremuka no ho na daa monyɛ no kronkron saa ara nnanson mma Onyankopɔn. Ɛno akyi no, afɔremuka no ho bɛtew yiye sɛnea biribiara a wɔde bɛka no no bɛyɛ Onyankopɔn dea.

For seven days, you shall expiate and sanctify the altar, and it shall be the Holy of holies. All those who will touch it must be sanctified.

38 “Da biara, momfa nguanten mma abien a wɔadi afe mmɔ afɔre wɔ afɔremuka no so.

This is what you shall acquire for the altar: Two one-year-old lambs, each day continually,

39 Momfa oguamma no baako mmɔ afɔre no anɔpa na momfa baako nso mmɔ afɔre anwummere.

one lamb in the morning, and the other in the evening;

40 Afɔrebɔ a edi kan no, momfa asikresiam lita abien ne fa a wɔayam no muhumuhu mfra ngo a wɔakyi afi ngodua mu lita baako; saa ara na momfa bobesa lita baako nyɛ ahwiesa.

for the one lamb, a tenth part of fine flour sprinkled with crushed oil, which shall have the measure of the fourth part of a hin, and wine for a libation, of the same measure;

41 Momfa oguan no baako a waka no mmɔ anwummere afɔre a asikresiam ne nsa ka ho te sɛ anɔpa de no ara. Ɛbɛyɛ ɔhyew afɔrehuam ama Awurade.

truly, the other lamb you shall offer in the evening, according to the ritual of the morning oblation, and according to what we have said, as an odor of sweetness.

42 “Saa afɔrebɔ yi bɛkɔ so da biara wɔ Ahyiae Ntamadan no pon ano wɔ Awurade anim. Ɛhɔ na mehyia mo ne mo akasa.

It is a sacrifice to the Lord, by a perpetual oblation among your generations, at the door of the tabernacle of the testimony before the Lord, where I resolve to speak to you.

43 Na mehyia Israelmma wɔ hɔ na mʼanuonyam atew Ahyiae Ntamadan no ho.

And there I will instruct the sons of Israel, and the altar shall be sanctified by my glory.

44 “Ampa ara, mɛtew Ahyiae Ntamadan no ne afɔremuka no ho ne Aaron ne ne mmabarima a wɔyɛ mʼasɔfo no ho.

I will also sanctify the tabernacle of the testimony with the altar, and Aaron with his sons, to exercise the priesthood for me.

45 Na mɛtena Israelfo mu na mayɛ wɔn Nyankopɔn,

And I will live in the midst of the sons of Israel, and I will be their God.

46 na wobehu sɛ mene Awurade, wɔn Nyankopɔn. Mede wɔn fi Misraim bae sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a, mɛtena wɔn mu. Mene Awurade wɔn Nyankopɔn.

And they shall know that I am the Lord their God, who led them away from the land of Egypt, so that I might dwell among them. I am the Lord their God.”
