3 Mose 16

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

And YHWH speaks to Moses after the death of the two sons of Aaron, in their drawing near before YHWH, and they die;

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.

indeed, YHWH says to Moses, “Speak to your brother Aaron, and he does not come in at all times to the holy place within the veil, to the front of the propitiatory covering, which [is] on the Ark, and he does not die, for I am seen in a cloud on the propitiatory covering.

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 Aaron comes into the holy place: with a bullock, a son of the herd, 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.

he puts on a holy linen coat, and linen trousers are on his flesh, and he girds himself with a linen girdle, and he wraps himself up with a linen turban; they [are] holy garments; and he has bathed his flesh with water and 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 sons of Israel he takes two kids of the 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 has brought the bullock of the sin-offering near, which is his own, and has made atonement for himself and for his house;

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

and he has taken the two goats, and has caused them to stand before YHWH, at the opening of the Tent of Meeting.

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

And Aaron has given lots over the two goats, one lot for YHWH and one lot for a goat of departure;

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

and Aaron has brought the goat near, on which the lot for YHWH has gone up, and has made it 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 on which the lot for a goat of departure has gone up is caused to stand living before YHWH to make atonement by it, to send it away for a goat of departure into the wilderness.

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

And Aaron has brought the bullock of the sin-offering near, which is his own, and has made atonement for himself and for his house, and has slaughtered the bullock of the sin-offering which [is] his own,

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 has taken the fullness of the censer of burning coals of fire from off the altar, from before YHWH, and the fullness of his hands of thin spice-incense, and has brought [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 has put the incense on the fire before YHWH, and the cloud of the incense has covered the propitiatory covering which [is] on the Testimony, and he does 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 has taken of the blood of the bullock, and has sprinkled with his finger on the front of the propitiatory covering eastward; even at the front of the propitiatory covering he sprinkles 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 has slaughtered the goat of the sin-offering which [is] the people’s, and has brought in its blood to the inside of the veil, and has done with its blood as he has done with the blood of the bullock, and has sprinkled it on the propitiatory covering, and at the front of the propitiatory covering,

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 has made atonement for the holy place because of the uncleanness of the sons of Israel, and because of their transgressions in all their sins; and so he does for the Tent of Meeting which is dwelling with them in the midst of their uncleannesses.

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 no man is in the Tent of Meeting in his going in to make atonement in the holy place, until his coming out; and he has made atonement for himself, and for his house, and for all the assembly 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 has gone out to the altar which [is] before YHWH, and has made atonement for it; and he has taken of the blood of the bullock and of the blood of the goat, and has put [it] around the horns of the altar;

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 has sprinkled on it of the blood with his finger seven times, and has cleansed it, and has hallowed it from the uncleannesses of the sons 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 has ceased from making atonement [for] the holy place, and the Tent of Meeting, and the altar, and has brought the living goat near;

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 has laid his two hands on the head of the living goat, and has confessed over it all the iniquities of the sons of Israel, and all their transgressions in all their sins, and has put them on the head of the goat, and has sent [it] away 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 has borne on himself all their iniquities to a land of separation. And he has sent the goat away 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 has come into the Tent of Meeting, and has stripped off the linen garments which he had put on in his going into the holy place, and has placed 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 has bathed his flesh with water in the holy place, and has put on his garments, and has come out, and has made his burnt-offering, and the burnt-offering of the people, and has made atonement for himself and for the people;

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

and with the fat of the sin-offering he makes incense 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 who is sending the goat away for a goat of departure washes his garments, and has bathed his flesh with water, and afterward he comes 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 of the sin-offering and the goat of the sin-offering, whose blood has been brought in to make atonement in the holy place, [one] brings out to the outside of the camp, and they have burned their skins, and their flesh, and their dung with fire;

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

and he who is burning them washes his garments, and has bathed his flesh with water, and afterward he comes 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 has been for a continuous statute to you, in the seventh month, on the tenth of the month, you humble yourselves, and do no work—the native and the sojourner who is sojourning in your midst;

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

for on this day he makes atonement for you, to cleanse you; you are clean from all your sins before YHWH;

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 [is] a Sabbath of rest for you, and you have humbled yourselves—a continuous statute.

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 whom he anoints, and whose hand he consecrates to act as priest instead of his father, has made atonement, and has put on the linen garments, 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 has made atonement [for] the holy sanctuary; and [for] the Tent of Meeting, even [for] the altar he makes atonement; indeed, he makes atonement for the priests and for all the people of the assembly.

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 has been for a continuous statute to you, to make atonement for the sons of Israel, because of all their sins, once in a year”; and he does as YHWH has commanded Moses.
