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 unto Moses after the death of the two sons of Aaron, when they had come near before the Lord, and 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 unto Moses, Speak unto Aaron thy brother, that he come not at all times into the holy place within the vail, before the mercy-seat, which is upon the ark, that he die not; for in the cloud will I appear upon the mercy-seat.

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.

With this shall Aaron come into the holy place: with a young bullock for a sin-offering, and a ram for a burnt-offering.

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

A holy linen coat shall be put on, and linen breeches shall he have upon his flesh, and with a linen girdle shall he gird himself, and a linen mitre shall he bind on his head; these are holy garments; therefore shall he wash his flesh in water, and then 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 from the congregation of the children of Israel shall he take two goats for a sin-offering, and one ram for a 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 near the bullock of the sin-offering, which is for himself, and make an 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 at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.

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

And Aaron shall put lots upon the two goats; one lot “for the Lord,” and the other lot “for 'Azazel.”

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

And Aaron shall bring near the goat upon which fell the lot “for the Lord,” and 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.

But the goat on which fell the lot “for 'Azazel,” shall be placed alive before the Lord, to make an atonement with him, by sending him away to 'Azazel into the wilderness.

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

And Aaron shall bring near the bullock of the sin-offering, which is for himself, and he shall make an atonement for himself, and for his house; and he shall kill the bullock of the sin-offering which is for himself.

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 a censer full of burning coals of fire from off the altar before the Lord, and both his hands full of incense of spices, pounded fine, and bring it within the vail;

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 upon the fire, before the Lord; that the cloud of the incense may envelop the mercy-seat that is upon the testimony, that he die not.

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 bullock, and sprinkle it with his finger above toward the mercy-seat, eastward; and 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 of the sin-offering, that is for the people, and bring his blood to within the vail, and do with that blood as he did with the blood of the bullock, and sprinkle it above the mercy-seat, and before 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 an atonement for the holy place, because of the uncleanness of the children of Israel, and because of their transgressions in all their sins: and so shall he do for the tabernacle of the congregation, that abideth 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 not be any man in the tabernacle of the congregation when he goeth in to make an atonement in the holy place, until he come out: and so shall he make an atonement for himself, and for his household, and for the whole congregation 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 then go out unto the altar that is before the Lord, and make an atonement upon it; and he shall take of the blood of the bullock, and of the blood of the goat, and put it upon 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 upon it of the blood with his finger seven times; and he shall cleanse 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 when he hath made an end of atoning for the holy place, and the tabernacle of the congregation, and the altar: then shall he bring near the live 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 both his hands upon the head of the live goat, and confess over him all the iniquities of the children of Israel, and all their transgressions in all their sins, putting them upon the head of the goat, and he shall send him away by the hand of a man appointed thereto 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 upon him all their iniquities unto a land not inhabited; and so shall he 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 then go into the tabernacle of the congregation, and he shall take off the linen garments, which he had put on when he went into the holy place, and he shall leave them 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 flesh with water in a holy place, and put on his garments; and come then forth, and offer his burnt-offering, and the burnt-offering of the people, and make an atonement for himself, and for the people.

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

And the fat of the sin-offering shall he burn upon 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 carrieth the goat to 'Azazel shall wash his clothes, and bathe his flesh in water, and afterward he may come 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 bullock for the sin-offering, and the goat for the sin-offering, the blood of which was brought in to make atonement in the holy place, shall one carry forth without the camp; and they shall burn in fire 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 burneth them shall wash his clothes, and bathe his flesh in water, and afterward he may come 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 it shall be unto you a statute for ever: in the seventh month, on the tenth of the month, ye shall afflict yourselves [by fasting], and no work shall ye do, whether it be one of your own country, or the stranger that sojourneth among you;

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

For on that day shall [the high-priest] make an atonement for you, to cleanse you; from all your sins before the Lord shall ye be clean.

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

It shall be a sabbath of rest unto you, and ye shall afflict yourselves [by fasting], as a statute for ever.

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

And the priest, who shall be anointed, and who shall be consecrated to minister as priest in his father's stead, shall make the atonement; and he shall put on the linen clothes, the holy garments.

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 an atonement for the holy of holies; and for the tabernacle of the congregation, and for the altar shall he make an atonement; and also for the priests, and for all the people of the congregation shall he make an atonement.

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 unto you as a statute for everlasting, to make an atonement for the children of Israel for all their sins once a year: and he did as the Lord had commanded Moses.
