3 Mose 8
1 Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose se,
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
2 “Afei fa Aaron ne ne mmabarima bra Ahyiae Ntamadan no kwan no ano. Wɔmfa wɔn ntade, ɔsra ngo, nantwi ba a wɔde no bɛbɔ bɔne ho afɔre, adwennini abien ne brodo a mmɔkaw nni mu nkɛntɛn abien
Take Aaron with his sons, their vestments, and the oil of unction, a calf for sin, two rams, a basket with unleavened bread,
3 na frɛ Israelfo no nyinaa na wɔmmra hɔ bi.”
And thou shalt gather together all the congregation to the door of the tabernacle.
4 Mose yɛɛ sɛnea Awurade hyɛɛ no no, na wohyiaa wɔ Ahyiae Ntamadan kwan no ano.
And Moses did as the Lord had commanded. And all the multitude being gathered together before the door of the tabernacle,
5 Mose ka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Ade a merebɛyɛ yi, Awurade na wahyɛ me sɛ menyɛ.”
He said: This is the word that the Lord hath commanded to be done.
6 Afei, Mose de Aaron ne ne mmabarima no baa anim, na ɔde nsu hohoroo wɔn ho.
And immediately he offered Aaron and his sons: and when he had washed them,
7 Ɔde Aaron atade sononko bi a ne mmeamu ka ho ne batakari a asɔfotade a wɔde tam a ɛyɛ fɛ ayɛ nʼabɔso hyɛɛ no.
He vested the high priest with the strait linen garment, girding him with the girdle, and putting on him the violet tunick, and over it he put the ephod,
8 Afei, Mose de adɛbo fam Aaron bo de Urim ne Tumim a ase ne hann ne pɛyɛ no hyɛɛ mu.
And binding it with the girdle, he fitted it to the rational, on which was Doctrine and Truth.
9 Ɔbɔɔ Aaron abotiri kɛse bi a ɛwɔ sika abɔanim sɛnea Awurade hyɛɛ no sɛ ɔnyɛ no ara pɛ.
He put also the mitre upon his head: and upon the mitre over the forehead, he put the plate of gold, consecrated with sanctification, as the Lord had commanded him.
10 Afei, Mose faa ɔsra ngo no de bi petee Ahyiae Ntamadan no ankasa ne biribiara a ɛwɔ mu ho de tew ne nyinaa ho.
He took also the oil of unction, with which he anointed the tabernacle, with all the furniture thereof.
11 Ɔpetee afɔremuka no so mpɛn ason. Afei, ɔpetee nkuku a ɛwɔ afɔremuka no so no ne hweaseammɔ ne ne ntaamu ho de tew ho.
And when he had sanctified and sprinkled the altar seven times, he anointed it, and all the vessels thereof, and the laver with the foot thereof, he sanctified with the oil.
12 Afei, ohwiee ɔsra ngo no guu Aaron tirim de tew ne ho sɛ omfiti nʼadwuma ase.
And he poured it upon Aaron’s head, and he anointed and consecrated him:
13 Nea edi hɔ ne sɛ, Mose de batakari hyehyɛɛ Aaron mmabarima a nkyekyeremu ne kyɛw ka ho, sɛnea Awurade hyɛɛ no sɛ ɔnyɛ no.
And after he had offered his sons, he vested them with linen tunicks, and girded them with girdles, and put mitres on them as the Lord had commanded.
14 Afei, ɔfaa nantwinini ba sɛ ɔde no rekɔbɔ bɔne ho afɔre. Aaron ne ne mmabarima de wɔn nsa guu aboa no apampam.
He offered also the calf for sin: and when Aaron and his sons had put their hands upon the head thereof,
15 Mose kum no. Ɔde ne nsateaa baako bɔɔ ne mogya mu de yɛɛ afɔremuka mmɛn nan no ho ne afɔremuka no ankasa ho de tew ho, na ohwiee mogya no nkae no guu afɔremuka no ase de tew ho sɛ mpata.
He immolated it: and took the blood, and dipping his finger in it, he touched the horns of the altar round about. Which being expiated, and sanctified, he poured the rest of the blood at the bottom thereof.
16 Ɔfaa nʼayamde ho srade ne ne mmerɛbo ho srade ne nʼasaabo abien no ne ɛho srade hyew ne nyinaa wɔ afɔremuka no so.
But the fat that was upon the entrails, and the caul of the liver, and the two little kidneys, with their fat, he burnt upon the altar:
17 Nanso ɔhyew nantwinini ba no ne ne nwoma ne ne nsono wɔ nsraban no akyi sɛnea Awurade hyɛɛ Mose no.
And the calf with the skin, and the flesh and the dung, he burnt without the camp, as the Lord had commanded.
18 Afei, ɔde odwennini no maa Awurade sɛ ɔhyew afɔre. Aaron ne ne mmabarima de wɔn nsa guu aboa no apampam.
He offered also a ram for a holocaust: and when Aaron and his sons had put their hands upon its head,
19 Na Mose kum no de ne mogya no bi petee afɔremuka no ho nyinaa.
He immolated it, and poured the blood thereof round about upon the altar.
20 Otwitwaa odwennini no nam na ɔhyew asinasin no a ne ti ne ne srade ka ho.
And cutting the ram into pieces, the head thereof, and the joints, and the fat he burnt in the fire,
21 Na ɔde nsu hohoroo nʼayamde ne nʼanan no ho hyew no wɔ afɔremuka no so maa ne nyinaa hyew dwerɛbee. Na ɛyɛ ɔhyew afɔre, ehua a ɛsɔ ani, aduan afɔre a wɔbɔ maa Awurade, sɛnea Awurade hyɛɛ Mose no.
Having first washed the entrails, and the feet, and the whole ram together he burnt upon the altar, because it was a holocaust of most sweet odour to the Lord, as he had commanded him.
22 Afei, Mose de odwennini baako a ɔyɛ asɔfohyɛ dwennini no bae. Aaron ne ne mmabarima de wɔn nsa guu nʼapampam.
He offered also the second ram, in the consecration of priests: and Aaron, and his sons put their hands upon the head thereof:
23 Mose kum no na ɔde mogya no bi kaa Aaron aso nifa ase ne ne nsa nifa kokurobeti ne ne nan nifa kokurobeti.
And when Moses had immolated it, he took of the blood thereof, and touched the tip of Aaron’s right ear, and the thumb of his right hand, and in like manner also the great toe of his right foot.
24 Ɔde mogya no bi yɛɛ Aaron mmabarima no nso aso nifa ase ne wɔn nsa nifa kokurobeti ne wɔn anan nifa kokurobeti. Ɔde mogya no nkae petee afɔremuka no ho nyinaa.
He offered also the sons of Aaron: and when with the blood of the ram that was immolated, he had touched the tip of the right ear of every one of them, and the thumbs of their right hands, and the great toes of their right feet, the rest he poured on the altar round about:
25 Afei, ɔfaa srade no, ne dua, ne ne mu srade, ne bɔnwoma kotoku, nʼasaabo abien no ne ɛho srade ne ne srɛ nifa no.
But the fat, and the rump, and all the fat that covereth the entrails, and the caul of the liver, and the two kidneys with their fat, and with the right shoulder, he separated.
26 Na ɔde saa brodo ntrantraa a mmɔkaw nni mu no baako nso ne brodo ntrantraa no baako a wɔde ngo agu so ne brodo ntrantraa baako a wɔfaa ne nyinaa fii kɛntɛn a wɔde besii hɔ wɔ Awurade anim no mu guguu eyinom nyinaa so.
And taking out of the basket; of unleavened bread, which was before the Lord, a loaf without leaven, and a cake tempered with oil and a wafer, he put them upon the fat, and the right shoulder,
27 Wɔde eyinom nyinaa hyɛɛ Aaron ne ne mmabarima nsa na wonhim no wɔ Awurade anim sɛ ohim afɔrebɔ.
Delivering all to Aaron, and to his sons: wile having lifted them up before the Lord,
28 Mose gyee ne nyinaa fii wɔn nsam hyew no wɔ afɔremuka no so wɔ ɔhyew afɔre no so sɛ asɔfohyɛ afɔrebɔ, ehua a ɛsɔ ani, aduan afɔre a wɔbɔ ma Awurade.
He took them again from their hands, and burnt them upon the altar of holocaust, because it was the oblation of consecration, for a sweet odour of sacrifice to the Lord.
29 Afei Mose nso faa ne yan no a na ɛyɛ ne kyɛfa wɔ asɔfohyɛ dwennini nam no mu no hinhim wɔ Awurade anim sɛ ohim afɔrebɔ, sɛnea Awurade hyɛɛ no sɛ ɔnyɛ no.
And he took of the ram of consecration, the breast for his portion, elevating it before the Lord, as the Lord had commanded him.
30 Afei ɔfaa ɔsra ngo no ne mogya a ɔde apete afɔremuka no so no bi de petee Aaron ne ne mmabarima ntade mu de tew Aaron ne ne mmabarima ne wɔn ntade ho maa Awurade dwumadi.
And taking the ointment, and the blood that was upon the altar, he sprinkled Aaron, and his vestments, and his sons, and their vestments with it.
31 Mose ka kyerɛɛ Aaron ne ne mmabarima no se, “Monnoa nam no wɔ Ahyiae Ntamadan no kwan ano na momfa nni brodo a ɛwɔ kɛntɛn a asɔfohyɛ afɔrebɔde wɔ mu no sɛnea meka kyerɛɛ mo no.
And when he had sanctified them in their vestments, he commanded them, saying: Boil the flesh before the door of the tabernacle, and there eat it. Eat ye also the loaves of consecration, that are laid in the basket, as the Lord commanded me, saying: Aaron and his sons shall eat them:
32 Nam ne brodo biara a ɛbɛka no, monhyew.
And whatsoever shall be left of the flesh and the leaves, shall be consumed with fire.
33 Bio, ɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn se wɔntena Ahyiae Ntamadan no ano nnanson, mfa nwie asɔfohyɛ dwumadi no.
And you shall not go out of the door of the tabernacle for seven days, until the day wherein the time of your consecration shall be expired. For in seven days the consecration is finished:
34 Mose kaa bio se nea ɔyɛɛ no da no nyinaa no, Awurade na ɔhyɛɛ no sɛ ɔnyɛ mfa nyɛ mpata mma wɔn.
As at this present it hath been done, that the rite of the sacrifice might be accomplished.
35 Ɔsan hyɛɛ Aaron ne ne mmabarima no sɛ wɔntena Ahyiae Ntamadan no ano anadwo ne awia nnanson. Ɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, ‘Sɛ mufi hɔ a, mubewuwu. Eyi ne asɛm a Awurade aka.’”
Day and night shall you remain in the tabernacle observing the watches of the Lord, lest you die: for so it hath been commanded me.
36 Enti Aaron ne ne mmabarima dii nsɛm a Awurade nam Mose so hyɛɛ wɔn sɛ wɔnyɛ no nyinaa so.
And Aaron and his sons did all things which the Lord spoke by the hand of Moses.
