3 Mose 16

1 Aaron mmabarima baanu a wowuwuu wɔ Awurade anim no wu akyi no, Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose se,

And the Lord spoke to Moses after the two sons of Aaron died in bringing strange fire before the Lord, so they died.

2 “Bɔ wo nua Aaron kɔkɔ sɛ, ɔnnkɔ kronkronbea hɔ wɔ ntwamtam no akyi; beae a apam adaka no si ne mmɔborɔhunu beae hɔ kwa. Ɔkɔ hɔ a obewu, efisɛ mʼankasa mewɔ omununkum a ɛkata mpata beae so no mu.

And the Lord said to Moses, Speak to Aaron your brother, and let him not come in at all times into the holy place within the veil before the propitiatory, which is upon the ark of the testimony, and he shall not die; for I will appear in a cloud on the propitiatory.

3 “Sɛ ɔpɛ sɛ ɔkɔ hɔ a, nea ɛsɛ sɛ ɔyɛ ni: Ɛsɛ sɛ ɔde nantwinini ba ba ma wɔde bɔ bɔne ho afɔre na ɔde odwennini nso ba ma wɔde bɔ ɔhyew afɔre.

Thus shall Aaron enter into the holy place; with a calf of the herd for a sin-offering, and [having] a ram for a whole burnt offering.

4 Ɛsɛ sɛ oguare na ɔhyɛ atade hanahana ne ne nhyɛase na ɔbɔ nkyekyeremu ne abotiri.

And he shall put on the consecrated linen tunic, and he shall have on his flesh the linen drawers, and shall gird himself with a linen girdle, and shall put on the linen cap, they are holy garments; and he shall bathe all his body in water, and shall put them on.

5 Afei, Israelfo bɛbrɛ no mmirekyi abien a wɔde bɛbɔ wɔn bɔne ho afɔre ne odwennini a wɔde bɛbɔ wɔn ɔhyew afɔre.

And he shall take of the congregation of the children of Israel two kids of the goats for a sin-offering, and one lamb for a whole burnt offering.

6 “Ɛsɛ sɛ Aaron de nantwi ba no bɛma Awurade sɛ bɔne ho afɔre a ɔrebɔ ama ne ho de ayɛ mpata ama ne ho ne ne fifo.

And Aaron shall bring the calf for his own sin-offering, and shall make atonement for himself and for his house.

7 Afei, ɔde mmirekyi abien no bɛba Awurade anim wɔ Ahyiae Ntamadan no ano.

And he shall take the two goats, and place them before the Lord by the door of the tabernacle of witness.

8 Ɛsɛ sɛ ɔbɔ mmirekyi no so ntonto hu Awurade de, ne nea ɛsɛ sɛ wɔsan de no kɔ.

and Aaron shall cast lots upon the two goats, one lot for the Lord, and the other for the scape-goat.

9 Aaron de abirekyi a wɔde no rebɛbɔ Awurade afɔre no bɛbɔ bɔne ho afɔre.

And Aaron shall bring forward the goat on which the lot for the Lord fell, and shall offer him for a sin-offering.

10 Wɔrenkum abirekyi baako a waka no na wɔde no aba Awurade anim. Wɔbɛyɛ mpata ho dwumadi bi agu ne so na wɔde no akɔ sare so akogyaw no wɔ hɔ sɛ mpata guan.

and the goat upon which the lot of the scape-goat came, he shall present alive before the Lord, to make atonement upon him, so as to send him away as a scape-goat, and he shall send him into the wilderness.

11 “Aaron de nantwinini ba no bɛbɔ bɔne ho afɔre ama ne ho ne ne fifo.

And Aaron shall bring the calf for his sin, and he shall make atonement for himself and for his house, and he shall kill the calf for his sin-offering.

12 Ɛsɛ sɛ ɔfa ade a wɔhyew aduhuam wɔ mu a nnyansramma a wɔfaa wɔ Awurade afɔremuka no so ayɛ no ma. Afei ɔde aduhuam a wɔayam no muhumuhu bɛyɛ ne nsam na ɔde akɔ ntwamtam no akyi.

And he shall take his censer full of coals of fire off the altar, which is before the Lord; and he shall fill his hands with fine compound incense, and shall bring it within the veil.

13 Ɛhɔ na ɔde aduhuam no begu ogya no so wɔ Awurade anim na ayɛ wusiw kumɔnn wɔ mpata beae apam ne adaka (a abo apon a wɔakyerɛw Mmaransɛm Du agu so wɔ mu) no so nyinaa sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a ɔrenwu.

And he shall put the incense on the fire before the Lord, and the smoke of the incense shall cover the mercy-seat over the tables of testimony, and he shall not die.

14 Na ɔde nantwinini ba no mogya no bi bɛba na ɔde ne nsateaa baako abɔ mu apete mpata beae hɔ apuei fam na wapete no mpɛn ason wɔ anim.

And he shall take of the blood of the calf, and sprinkle with his finger on the mercy-seat eastward: before the mercy-seat shall he sprinkle seven times of the blood with his finger.

15 “Afei, ɛsɛ sɛ ofi adi na ɔde abirekyi no kɔbɔ ɔmanfo no bɔne ho afɔre na wɔde ne mogya no ba ntwamtam no akyi na wɔpete gu mpata hɔ ne anim sɛnea ɔde nantwinini ba no mogya no yɛe no ara pɛ.

And he shall kill the goat for the sin-offering that is for the people, before the Lord; and he shall bring in of its blood within the veil, and shall do with its blood as he did with the blood of the calf, and shall sprinkle its blood on the mercy-seat, in front of the mercy-seat.

16 Na ɛkyerɛ sɛ wayɛ mpata ama beae kronkron hɔ, efisɛ Israelfo bɔne ama efi aka beae hɔ ne Ahyiae Ntamadan no a wɔasi wɔ wɔn mfimfini hɔ no.

and he shall make atonement for the sanctuary on account of the uncleanness of the children of Israel, and for their trespasses in the matter of all their sins; and thus shall he do to the tabernacle of witness established among them in the midst of their uncleanness.

17 Sɛ Aaron wura Ahyiae Ntamadan no mu kɔ kronkronbea hɔ rekɔyɛ mpata adwuma no a, ɛnsɛ sɛ obiara kɔ hɔ bi, gye sɛ ɔyɛ mpata no ma ne ho ne ne fifo ne Israelfo nyinaa wie.

and there shall be no man in the tabernacle of witness, when he goes in to make atonement in the holy place, until he shall have come out; and he shall make atonement for himself, and for his house, and for all the congregation of the children of Israel.

18 “Afei, ɔbɛkɔ afɔremuka no ho wɔ Awurade anim akɔyɛ mpata ama afɔremuka no. Ɛsɛ sɛ ɔde nantwinini ba no ne abirekyi mogya no sra mmɛn a etuatua afɔremuka no ho no ho.

And he shall come forth to the altar that is before the Lord, and he shall make atonement upon it; and he shall take of the blood of the calf, and of the blood of the goat, and shall put it on the horns of the altar round about.

19 Na ɔde ne nsateaa baako bɛpete mogya no mpɛn ason agu afɔremuka no so de atew ho afi Israelfo bɔne no ho ayɛ no kronkron.

And he shall sprinkle some of the blood upon it seven times with his finger, and shall purge it, and hallow it from the uncleanness of the children of Israel.

20 “Sɛ owie mpata a ɛfa kronkronbea hɔ ne Ahyiae Ntamadan no ho nsɛm nyinaa ne afɔremuka no ho a, ɔde abirekyi no bɛba anikann.

And he shall finish making atonement for the sanctuary and for the tabernacle of witness, and for the altar; and he shall make a cleansing for the priests, and he shall bring the living goat;

21 Na ɔde ne nsa abien agu aboa no apampam, na waka atirimɔden ne atuatew a Israelfo ayɛ, wɔn bɔne nyinaa de agu abirekyi no apampam, na obi a wɔayi no sɛ ɔnyɛ saa adwuma no de aboa no bɛkɔ sare so.

and Aaron shall lay his hands on the head of the live goat, and he shall declare over him all the iniquities of the children of Israel, and all their unrighteousness, and all their sins; and he shall lay them upon the head of the live goat, and shall send him by the hand of a ready man into the wilderness.

22 Enti abirekyi no bɛsoa nnipa no bɔne nyinaa de akɔ asase a obi nte so no so na nipa no agyaa no wɔ sare so hɔ.

And the goat shall bear their unrighteousnesses upon him into a desert land; and Aaron shall send away the goat into the wilderness.

23 “Afei, Aaron bɛkɔ Ahyiae Ntamadan mu hɔ bio akɔworɔw nʼatade hanahana a ɔhyɛɛ wɔ ntwamtam no akyi no na wagyaw wɔ hɔ.

And Aaron shall enter into the tabernacle of witness, and shall put off the linen garment, which he had put on, as he entered into the holy place, and shall lay it by there.

24 Ɔbɛkɔ akoguare wɔ faako a wɔatew hɔ ho na wahyɛ ne ntade no bio na wafi adi akɔbɔ ɔno ankasa ɔhyew afɔre asan abɔ ɔhyew afɔre ama nnipa no na wayɛ mpata ama ne ho ne wɔn.

And he shall bathe his body in water in the holy place, and shall put on his raiment, and shall go out and offer the whole burnt offering for himself and the whole burnt offering for the people: and shall make atonement for himself and for his house, and for the people, as for the priests.

25 Ɔbɛhyew srade de abɔ bɔne ho afɔre wɔ afɔremuka no so.

And he shall offer the fat for the sin-offering on the altar.

26 “Akyiri no, ɔbarima a ɔde abirekyi no kɔɔ sare so kogyaa no no bɛhoro ne ntama na waguare na wasan aba beae hɔ bio.

And he that sends forth the goat that has been set apart to be let go, shall wash his garments, and bathe his body in water, and afterwards shall enter into the camp.

27 Na nantwi ba ne abirekyi a wɔde bɔɔ bɔne ho afɔre no a Aaron de wɔn mogya kɔɔ kronkronbea hɔ kɔyɛɛ mpata no, wɔde wɔn bɛkɔ nsraban no akyi baabi akɔhyew a wɔn ho nwoma ne wɔn ayamde ka ho.

And the calf for the sin-offering, and the goat for the sin-offering, whose blood was brought in to make atonement in the holy place, they shall carry forth out of the camp, and burn them with fire, even their skins and their flesh and their dung.

28 Akyiri no, onipa a ɔrebɛhyew afɔrebɔde no bɛhoro ne ntama, aguare na wasan akɔ beae hɔ bio.

And he that burns them shall wash his garments, and bathe his body in water, and afterwards he shall enter into the camp.

29 “Eyi yɛ mmara a ɛwɔ hɔ daa. Ɔsram a ɛto so ason no nnafua du so no, ɛnsɛ sɛ moyɛ adwuma biara, na mmom, momfa saa da no nkari mo ho nhwɛ wɔ ahobrɛase mu. Saa mmara yi ka wɔn a wɔwoo wɔn wɔ asase yi so anaa ahɔho a wɔne Israelfo te;

And this shall be a perpetual statute for you; in the seventh month, on the tenth day of the month, you shall humble your souls, and shall do no work, the native and the stranger who abides among you.

30 efisɛ da yi na wɔde kae mo mpata ne mo ahodwira wɔ mo bɔne ho wɔ Awurade anim.

For in this day he shall make an atonement for you, to cleanse you from all your sins before the Lord, and you shall be purged.

31 Ɛyɛ homeda a ɛsɛ sɛ mode home enti ɛsɛ sɛ mudi da no dinn wɔ ahobrɛase mu. Ɛyɛ mmara a ɛbɛtena hɔ daa.

This shall be to you a most holy sabbath, a rest, and you shall humble your souls; it is a perpetual ordinance.

32 Saa ahyɛde yi, Ɔsɔfopanyin a wɔasra no no a obesi ne nena Aaron anan na obedi ho dwuma wɔ beae hɔ. Ɔno nko ara na ɔwɔ ho kwan sɛ ɔhyɛ atade kronkron hanahana no

The priest whoever they shall anoint shall make atonement, and whoever they shall consecrate to exercise the priestly office after his father; and he shall put on the linen robe, the holy garment.

33 na ɔyɛ mpata wɔ kronkronbea hɔ wɔ Ahyiae Ntamadan mu hɔ, wɔ afɔremuka no so de ma asɔfo no ne nnipa no.

And he shall make atonement for the most holy place, and the tabernacle of witness; and he shall make atonement for the altar, and for the priests; and he shall make atonement for all the congregation.

34 “Eyi bɛyɛ mmara a ɛbɛtena hɔ daa ama mo, na Israelfo bɔne nti, moagyina so afe biara de ayɛ mpata ama Israelfo afi wɔn bɔne nyinaa mu.” Na Mose dii mmara a Awurade hyɛ maa no no nyinaa so.

And this shall be to you a perpetual statute to make atonement for the children of Israel for all their sins: it shall be done once in the year, as the Lord commanded Moses.
