3 Mose 1

1 Afei, Awurade kasa fii Ahyiae Ntamadan no mu kyerɛɛ Mose se,

And Jehovah called to Moses and spoke to him out of the tent of meeting, saying,

2 “Kyerɛ Israelfo no se, ‘sɛ morebɔ Awurade afɔre a, momfa mo anantwi ne mo nguan no bi na mommɔ saa afɔre no.

Speak unto the children of Israel and say unto them, When any man of you presenteth an offering to Jehovah, ye shall present your offering of the cattle, of the herd and of the flock.

3 “‘Sɛ mo ɔhyew afɔrebɔde no yɛ nantwi a ofi mo nantwibuw mu a, momfa nantwi a onnii dɛm na ɛmmɔ saa afɔre no sɛnea ɛbɛsɔ Awurade ani. Fa aboa no kɔ Ahyiae Ntamadan no pon ano na ɛhɔ na asɔfo no begye wʼayɛyɛde a wode rebrɛ Awurade no.

If his offering be a burnt-offering of the herd, he shall present it a male without blemish: at the entrance of the tent of meeting shall he present it, for his acceptance before Jehovah.

4 Ɛsɛ sɛ onipa a ɔde aboa no reba no de ne nsa gu aboa no ti so sɛ mpata ma afɔrebɔni no. Onyankopɔn bɛpɛ aboa no wu sen sɛ afɔrebɔni a ɔde saa aboa no bɛba no bewu sɛ ne bɔne so akatua.

And he shall lay his hand on the head of the burnt-offering; and it shall be accepted for him to make atonement for him.

5 Afɔrebɔni no bekum aboa no wɔ hɔ wɔ Awurade anim. Na Aaron mmabarima asɔfo no asɔw aboa no mogya de akyerɛ Awurade. Na wɔde mogya no apete afɔremuka a esi Ahyiae Ntamadan no kwan no ano no ne ho nyinaa.

And he shall slaughter the bullock before Jehovah; and Aaron's sons, the priests, shall present the blood and sprinkle the blood round about on the altar that is at the entrance of the tent of meeting.

6 Afei, asɔfo no bɛpa aboa no ho nwoma na wɔabobɔw.

And he shall flay the burnt-offering, and cut it up into its pieces.

7 Na ɔsɔfo Aaron mmabarima no bɛsɔ gya wɔ afɔremuka no so.

And the sons of Aaron the priest shall put fire on the altar, and lay wood in order on the fire;

8 Na wɔde aboa no akwaa bi ne ne ti ne ne srade ka ho agu nnyansin no so.

and Aaron's sons, the priests, shall lay the pieces, the head, and the fat, in order on the wood that is on the fire which is on the altar;

9 Momfa nsu nhohoro nʼayamde ne ne nan ho na asɔfo no nhyew no wɔ afɔremuka no so. Ɛyɛ ɔhyew afɔre, aduan afɔrebɔ, ehua a ɛsɔ Awurade ani.

but its inwards and its legs shall he wash in water; and the priest shall burn all on the altar, a burnt-offering, an offering by fire to Jehovah of a sweet odour.

10 “‘Sɛ afɔrebɔ no yɛ ɔhyew afɔre na aboa no yɛ oguan anaa abirekyi a, ɛsɛ sɛ ɔyɛ onini a ne ho nni dɛm biara.

And if his offering be of the flock, of the sheep or of the goats, for a burnt-offering, he shall present it a male without blemish.

11 Onipa a ɔde no bae no bekum no Awurade anim wɔ afɔremuka no atifi na Aaron mmabarima asɔfo no apete mogya no agu afɔremuka no so ne ɛho nyinaa.

And he shall slaughter it on the side of the altar northward before Jehovah; and Aaron's sons, the priests, shall sprinkle its blood on the altar round about.

12 Ɔbɛhyehyɛ nam no na asɔfo no de nʼasinasin no ne ti no ne ne srade no agu nnyansin a egu afɔremuka no so no so.

And he shall cut it into its pieces, and its head, and its fat; and the priest shall lay them in order on the wood that is on the fire which is on the altar;

13 Wɔde nsu bɛhohoro nʼayamde ne ne nan no ho ansa na asɔfo no ahyew wɔ afɔremuka no so de ama Awurade; efisɛ ɔhyew afɔre sɔ Awurade ani.

but the inwards and the legs shall he wash with water; and the priest shall present [it] all, and burn [it] on the altar: it is a burnt-offering, an offering by fire to Jehovah of a sweet odour.

14 “‘Sɛ obi pɛ sɛ ɔde anomaa bɔ ɔhyew afɔre a, ɔmfa nturukuku anaa mmorɔnomamma.

And if his offering to Jehovah be a burnt-offering of fowls, then he shall present his offering of turtle-doves, or of young pigeons.

15 Ɔsɔfo no bɛfa anomaa no de no akɔ afɔremuka no so na watew ne ti ahyew no, na wasɔn ne mogya no agu afɔremuka no nkyɛn.

And the priest shall bring it near to the altar and pinch off its head and burn it on the altar; and its blood shall be pressed out at the side of the altar.

16 Afei, ɔsɔfo no beyi ne mene ase, atutu ne ntakra no na watow agu nsõ no mu wɔ afɔremuka no apuei fam.

And he shall remove its crop with its feathers, and cast it beside the altar on the east, into the place of the ashes;

17 Afei, ɔbɛtwe ne ntaban mu ama emu ntin no atetew asensɛn hɔ, na ɔsɔfo no ahyew no wɔ afɔremuka no so. Ɛyɛ ɔhyew afɔre, aduan afɔrebɔ, ehua a ɛsɔ Awurade ani.

and he shall split it open at its wings, [but] shall not divide [it] asunder; and the priest shall burn it on the altar on the wood that is on the fire: it is a burnt-offering, an offering by fire to Jehovah of a sweet odour.
