3 Mose 3

1 “‘Sɛ obiara pɛ sɛ ɔbɔ asomdwoe afɔre ma Awurade a, otumi de nantwinini anaa nantwibere bɔ, nanso ɛsɛ sɛ aboa no yɛ nea ne ho nni dɛm biara.

[“Also tell the people], ‘When the offering that you bring to Yahweh is to maintain good fellowship [with him], you may bring a bull or a cow from your herd [of cattle], but what you present to Yahweh must be an animal that has no defects.

2 Onipa a ɔde aboa no aba no de ne nsa begu aboa no apampam na wakum no wɔ Ahyiae Ntamadan no ano. Na Aaron mmabarima asɔfo no apete aboa no mogya agu afɔremuka no ho.

You must bring the animal to the entrance to the Sacred Tent. You must lay your hands on its head. Then you must slaughter it [and drain some of its blood in a bowl]. Then one of Aaron’s sons, one of the priests, will sprinkle the blood against all sides of the altar.

3 Ɛsɛ sɛ mufi asomdwoe afɔre mu de nʼayamde ne srade a ɛwɔ ho nyinaa bɛbɔ aduan afɔre ma Awurade,

From that offering, you must offer to Yahweh, as a sacrifice that will be burned in the fire, all the fat that covers the inner parts of the animal, or which is attached to them—

4 a nʼasaabo abien no ne ne sisi ne nea ne mmerɛbo sa so a mubeyi aka asaabo no ho no.

the kidneys and the fat that is attached to them near the lower back muscle, and the fat that covers the liver.

5 Na ɛsɛ sɛ Aaron mma hyew wɔ afɔremuka no so, wɔ ɔhyew afɔre a ɛda dua a ɛrehyew no so; ɛyɛ aduan afɔre, ehua a ɛsɔ Awurade ani.

Then one of the priests will burn those things on the altar, along with the other parts of the animal that will be completely burned to be an offering [to Yahweh]. And the aroma while it burns will be pleasing to Yahweh.

6 “‘Sɛ abirekyi anaa oguan na mode bɛbɔ asomdwoe afɔre ama Awurade a, ɛnsɛ sɛ dɛm biara ba ne ho na ɛsɛ sɛ ɔyɛ onini anaa ɔbere.

If that offering to maintain good fellowship with Yahweh is a sheep or a goat, it must also be an animal that has no defects.

7 Sɛ mode oguan ba sɛ mo akyɛde a,

If you offer a lamb, you must present it to Yahweh [at the entrance to the Sacred Tent]. You must lay your hands on the lamb’s head and then slaughter it. [‘You must drain some of its blood in a bowl].

8 momfa mo nsa ngu nʼapampam na munkum no wɔ Ahyiae Ntamadan no kwan ano. Afei, Aaron mmabarima no bɛpete mogya no agu afɔremuka no ho nyinaa.

Then one of the priests will sprinkle that blood against all sides of the altar.

9 Saa asomdwoe afɔrebɔde yi fa bi na wɔmfa mma Awurade sɛ ɔhyew afɔrebɔde a ne dua ne mu nneɛma ne ɛho srade, srade a ɛwɔ nʼayamde ho no nyinaa,

You must dedicate these things to be a sacrifice to Yahweh that is burned: Its fat, the fat tail that you must cut off close to the backbone, and all the fat that covers the inner parts of the lamb or which is attached to them—

10 ne asaabo abien ne ɛho srade a ɛbɛn ne sisia ne ne merɛbo a wobeyi a nʼasaabo ka ho no.

the kidneys with the fat that is on them near the lower back muscle, and the fat that covers the liver.

11 Ɔsɔfo no bɛhyew no wɔ afɔremuka no so sɛ aduan a ɛyɛ ɔhyew afɔre ama Awurade.

One of the priests will burn those things on the altar to be an offering to Yahweh; [it will be as though] they will be a special food [given to Yahweh].

12 “‘Sɛ wode abirekyi brɛ Awurade sɛ wʼafɔrebɔde a,

‘If your offering is a goat, you must take/present it to Yahweh.

13 fa wo nsa gu aboa no apampam na kum no wɔ Ahyiae Ntamadan no kwan ano. Aaron mmabarima de aboa no mogya bɛpete afɔremuka no ho nyinaa.

You must lay your hands on its head. Then you must slaughter it in front of the Sacred Tent. Then one of Aaron’s sons will sprinkle the blood against all sides of the altar.

14 Ɛsɛ sɛ wɔhyew saa afɔrebɔde yi fa bi ma Awurade. Saa afɔrebɔde fa no yɛ aboa no yam srade,

From that offering you must dedicate these things to be a sacrifice to Yahweh that is burned: All the fat that covers the inner parts of the animal or which is attached to them,

15 nʼasaabo abien ne ɛho srade a ɛbɛn nʼasen mu ne ne mmerɛbo a wobeyi aka ne asaabo no ho no.

the kidneys with the fat that is on them near the lower back muscle, and the fat that covers the liver.

16 Ɔsɔfo no bɛhyew wɔ afɔremuka no so sɛ ɔhyew afɔre. Awurade ani bɛsɔ saa ɔhyew afɔre no. Kae sɛ srade no nyinaa yɛ Awurade dea.

The priest will burn those things on the altar to be an offering to Yahweh; [it will be as though] they will be a special food [given to Yahweh]. And the aroma while it burns will be pleasing to Yahweh. All the fat [of the animals that are sacrificed] belongs to Yahweh.

17 “‘Eyi ne mmara a munni so daa nyinaa wɔ asase yi so baabiara. Munnni srade anaa mogya.’”

‘This is a command that must be obeyed by you and your descendants forever, wherever you live: You must not eat the fat or the blood [of any animal].’”
