3 Mose 1

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

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 to the children of Israel, and tell them, 'When anyone of you offers an offering to Jehovah, you shall offer your offering of the livestock, from the herd and from 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 is a burnt offering from the herd, he shall offer a male without blemish. He shall offer it at the door of the Tent of Meeting, that he may be accepted 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.

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 kill the bull before Jehovah. Aaron's sons, the priests, shall present the blood and sprinkle the blood around on the altar that is at the door of the Tent of Meeting.

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

And he shall skin the burnt offering, and cut it into pieces.

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

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 entrails and its legs he shall wash with water. The priest shall burn the whole on the altar, for a burnt offering, an offering made by fire, of a pleasant aroma to Jehovah.

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.

"'If his offering is from the flock, from the sheep, or from the goats, for a burnt offering, he shall offer 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.

He shall kill it on the north side of the altar before Jehovah. Aaron's sons, the priests, shall sprinkle its blood around on the altar.

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.

He shall cut it into its pieces, with its head and its fat. 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 entrails and the legs he shall wash with water. The priest shall offer the whole, and burn it on the altar. It is a burnt offering, an offering made by fire, of a pleasant aroma to Jehovah.

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

"'If his offering to Jehovah is a burnt offering of birds, then he shall offer his offering of turtledoves, 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.

The priest shall bring it to the altar, and wring off its head, and burn it on the altar; and its blood shall be drained out on 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 take away its crop with its filth, and cast it beside the altar on the east part, in 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.

He shall tear it by its wings, but shall not divide it apart. The priest shall burn it on the altar, on the wood that is on the fire. It is a burnt offering, an offering made by fire, of a pleasant aroma to Jehovah.
