2 Mose 29

1 “Ɛkwan a ɛsɛ sɛ mofa so hyɛ Aaron ne ne mma asɔfoɔ nie: momfa nantwie ba ne nnwennini mmienu a wɔn ho nni dɛm;

“But you shall also do this, so that they may be consecrated to me in the priesthood: Take a calf from the herd, and two immaculate rams,

2 afei momfa esiam muhumuhu a mmɔreka nni mu nyɛ burodo a ɛyɛ dɛ ne taterɛ a wɔde ngo afra ne ɔfam a wɔde ngo agu so.

and unleavened bread, and a crust without leaven that has been sprinkled with oil, likewise, unleavened cakes smeared with oil. You shall make them all from the same wheat flour.

3 Fa burodo no gu kɛntɛn mu na fa nantwie ba no ne odwennini no ka ho bra Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no ano.

And, having placed them in baskets, you shall offer them, along with the calf and the two rams.

4 Momfa Aaron ne ne mmammarima no mmra Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no kwan ano hɔ, na momfa nsuo nnware wɔn.

And you shall bring forward Aaron and his sons, to the door of the tabernacle of the testimony. And when you will have washed the father with his sons in water,

5 Afei, momfa Aaron atadeɛ yuu no nhyɛ no. Monhyɛ no atadekɔnsini no, ne asɔfotadeɛ no ne adaaboɔ no ne abɔwomu no,

you shall clothe Aaron in his vestments, that is, with the linen, and the tunic, and the ephod, and the breastplate, which you shall draw together with the wide belt.

6 na momfa abotire a sikakɔkɔɔ kronkron bobɔ mu no mmɔ no.

And you shall place the headdress on his head and the holy plate upon the headdress.

7 Afei, momfa srango no na monhwie ngu ne tiri so.

And you shall pour the oil of unction over his head. And so, by this rite, he shall be consecrated.

8 Ne mmammarima no nso, momfa wɔn ntadeɛ yuu no nhyehyɛ wɔn.

Likewise, you shall bring forward his sons, and you shall clothe them in the linen tunics, and wrap them with the wide belt:

9 Momfa wɔn abɔwomu no ne ɛkyɛ nka wɔn ho. Saa ɛkwan yi so na momfa nhyɛ Aaron ne ne mma ne wɔn asefoɔ ma wɔnyɛ asɔfoɔ daa nyinaa.

Aaron, certainly, as well as his sons. And you shall impose headdresses upon them. And they shall be priests to me by a perpetual ordinance. After you have initiated their hands,

10 “Mode nantwie ba no bɛba Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no anim na Aaron ne ne mmammarima de wɔn nsa agu aboa no apampam.

you shall bring forward also the calf, in the presence of the tabernacle of the testimony. And Aaron and his sons shall lay their hands upon its head.

11 Afei, monkum no wɔ Awurade anim wɔ Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no kwan ano.

And you shall sacrifice it in the sight of the Lord, beside the door of the tabernacle of the testimony.

12 Momfa ne mogya nsrasra mmɛn a ɛtuatua afɔrebukyia no ho no so. Momfa mo nsateaa na ɛnyɛ, na monhwie mogya a ɛbɛka no ngu afɔrebukyia no ase.

And taking some of the blood of the calf, you shall place it upon the horns of the altar with your finger, but the remainder of the blood you shall pour next to its base.

13 Monyi ne mu sradeɛ no ne ne berɛboɔ kotokuo no ne ne sawa mmienu no ne sradeɛ a ɛwɔ ho no na monhye no wɔ afɔrebukyia no so.

And you shall take all the fat which covers its intestines, and the mesh of the liver, as well as the two kidneys, and the fat that is on them, and you shall offer them as a burnt offering upon the altar.

14 Afei, momfa aboa no ne ne wedeɛ ne nʼagyanan no mfiri beaeɛ hɔ na monkɔhye no sɛ bɔne ho afɔrebɔ.

Yet truly, the flesh of the calf, and the hide and the dung, you shall burn outside, beyond the camp, because it is for sin.

15 “Sɛ wɔrebɛkum nnwennini no nso a, Aaron ne ne mmammarima no mfa wɔn nsa ngu aboa no baako apampam

Likewise, you shall take one ram, and upon its head Aaron and his sons shall lay their hands.

16 na wɔnkum no. Wɔnsɔ ne mogya no na wɔmfa mpete afɔrebukyia no ho nyinaa.

And when you will have sacrificed it, you shall take from its blood and pour it around the altar.

17 Twitwa odwennini no asinasini na hohoro nʼayamdeɛ no mu ne ne nnyawa no ho; fa ne ti no ne deɛ moatwitwa no gu faako

Then you shall cut the ram into pieces, and, having washed its intestines and feet, you shall place these upon the cut-up flesh and upon its head.

18 na monhye no wɔ afɔrebukyia no so; ɛyɛ ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ a ɛsɔ Awurade ani.

And you shall offer the entire ram as a burnt offering upon the altar. It is an oblation to the Lord, a most sweet odor of the victim of the Lord.

19 “Afei, momfa odwennini a aka no na Aaron ne ne mmammarima mfa wɔn nsa ngu nʼapampam,

Likewise, you shall take the other ram, upon whose head Aaron and his sons shall lay their hands.

20 na wɔnkum no. Monsɔ mogya no bi na momfa ketewaa bi nsosɔ Aaron ne ne mmammarima no aso nifa, wɔn kokurobetie nifa ne wɔn nan nifa kokurobetie so. Afei mompete nkaeɛ no ngu afɔrebukyia no ho nyinaa.

And when you will have immolated it, you shall take of its blood, and place it on the tip of the right ear of Aaron and his sons, and on the thumbs and big toes of their right hand and right foot, and you shall pour the blood upon the altar, all around.

21 Montwerɛ mogya a ɛwɔ afɔrebukyia no so no bi na momfa mfra srango na momfa mpete Aaron ne ne mmammarima so ne wɔn ntadeɛ mu. Ɛnam saa so bɛma wɔne wɔn ntadeɛ ho ate wɔ Awurade anim.

And when you have taken from the blood that is on the altar, and from the oil of unction, you shall sprinkle Aaron and his vestment, his sons and their vestments. And after they and their vestments have been consecrated,

22 “Momfa odwennini no sradeɛ ne ne duapuo ne ne mu sradeɛ ne ne berɛboɔ kotokuo ne ne sawa mmienu ne ɛho sradeɛ ne ne srɛ nifa—yei ne odwennini a wɔde bɛhyɛ Aaron ne ne mmammarima asɔfoɔ.

you shall take the fat of the ram, and the rump, and the lard that covers the internal organs, and the mesh of the liver, and the two kidneys along with the fat that is on them, and the right shoulder, because it is the ram of consecration,

23 Momfa burodo mua baako ne taterɛ a wɔde srango afra, na monyi ɔfam baako mfiri kɛntɛn a wɔde burodo a mmɔreka nni mu agu mu a wɔde asi Awurade anim no mu.

and one turn of bread, a crust sprinkled with oil, and a cake from the basket of unleavened bread, which was placed in the sight of the Lord.

24 Momfa yeinom nhyɛ Aaron ne ne mmammarima nsam na wɔmfa nkyerɛ sɛ ɔhim afɔrebɔdeɛ mma Awurade.

And you shall place all these in the hands of Aaron and his sons, and you shall sanctify them, lifting them up in the sight of the Lord.

25 Ɛno akyi, monnye mfiri wɔn nsam na monhye no afɔrebukyia no so sɛ ohwam afɔdeɛ mma no.

And you shall take all these things from their hands and burn them upon the altar as a holocaust, as a most sweet odor in the sight of the Lord, because it is his oblation.

26 Afei, momfa Aaron asɔfohyɛdwan no yan na monhim no Awurade anim, mfa nkyerɛ sɛ, morebɔ no afɔdeɛ; ɛno akyi momfa

Likewise, you shall take the chest of the ram, with which Aaron was initiated, and you shall sanctify it, lifting it up in the sight of the Lord, and it will fall to your share.

27 odwennini a moate ne ho no yan ne ne srɛ

And you shall sanctify both the consecrated chest and the shoulder that you separated from the ram,

28 mma Aaron ne ne mmammarima. Ɛsɛ sɛ daa ɛyɛ Israelfoɔ asɛdeɛ sɛ wɔbɛboa saa afɔrebɔ yi—sɛ ɛyɛ asomdwoeɛ afɔrebɔ anaa aseda afɔrebɔ, de hyɛ Awurade animuonyam.

with which Aaron was initiated with his sons, and these will fall to the share of Aaron and his sons, as a perpetual oath by the sons of Israel. For these are the greatest and the first of their victims of peace, which they offer to the Lord.

29 “Aaron ntadeɛ kronkron yi, wɔbɛkora na wɔate ho de ama ne mmammarima a daakye wɔbɛdi nʼadeɛ, sɛdeɛ sɛ wɔn asɔfohyɛ duru so a, wɔbɛtumi de ahyɛ wɔn.

But the holy vestment, which Aaron shall use, his sons shall possess after him, so that they may be anointed in it and their hands may be consecrated.

30 Ɔsɔfopanin biara a ɔbɛdi Aaron adeɛ no bɛhyɛ saa ntadeɛ yi nnanson ansa na wafiri nʼasɔfodwuma ase wɔ Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no mu ne kronkronbea hɔ.

For seven days, he who is high priest in his place and who enters the tabernacle of the testimony to minister in the Sanctuary shall use it.

31 “Fa odwennini no nam a wɔate ho no ne odwennini nam a wɔde hyɛɛ ɔsɔfoɔ no na monnoa no baabi a ɛhɔ te.

But you shall take the ram of consecration and cook its flesh in the holy place.

32 Aaron ne ne mmammarima bɛdi burodo a ɛwɔ kɛntɛn no mu no, na wɔde ɛnam no abɔ so wɔ Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no ano.

And Aaron and his sons shall feed on it. Likewise, the loaves which are in the basket, they shall consume in the vestibule of the tabernacle of the testimony,

33 Wɔn nko ara na wɔbɛwe ɛnam no adi nnuane a wɔde tee wɔn ho no. Nnipa a wɔmfra asɔfoɔ abusua no mu no renni bi, ɛfiri sɛ, wɔate ho.

so that it may be an appeasing sacrifice, and so that the hands of those who offer may be sanctified. A stranger shall not eat from these, for they are holy.

34 Sɛ ɛba sɛ adeɛ kye ɛnam anaa burodo no bi so a, monhye no. Ɛnsɛ sɛ wɔdi, ɛfiri sɛ, ɛyɛ kronkron.

And what may remain until morning, of the consecrated flesh or of the bread, you shall burn these remnants with fire. These shall not be eaten, because they have been sanctified.

35 “Yei ne ɛkwan a momfa so nhyɛ Aaron ne ne mmammarima no asɔfoɔ. Nnanson na wɔmfa nni saa asɔfohyɛ no ho dwuma.

All that I have instructed you concerning Aaron and his sons, you shall do. For seven days shall you consecrate their hands,

36 Ɛda biara, mode nantwie ba bɛbɔ afɔdeɛ de adwira mo ho. Ɛno akyi, pra afɔrebukyia no ho bɔne nyinaa na yɛ no kronkron na hwie ngo gu so fa te ho.

and you shall offer a calf for sin on each day, as an atonement. And you shall cleanse the altar when you will have immolated the victim of expiation, and you shall anoint it for sanctification.

37 Te afɔrebukyia no ho na daa yɛ no kronkron saa ara nnanson ma Onyankopɔn. Ɛno akyi, afɔrebukyia no ho bɛte yie sɛdeɛ biribiara a wɔde bɛka no no bɛyɛ Onyankopɔn dea.

For seven days, you shall expiate and sanctify the altar, and it shall be the Holy of holies. All those who will touch it must be sanctified.

38 “Ɛda biara, mommɔ nnwanten mma mmienu afɔdeɛ wɔ afɔrebukyia no so.

This is what you shall acquire for the altar: Two one-year-old lambs, each day continually,

39 Momfa odwammaa no baako mmɔ afɔdeɛ no anɔpa na momfa baako nso mmɔ afɔdeɛ anwummerɛ.

one lamb in the morning, and the other in the evening;

40 Afɔrebɔ no mu baako, momfa asikyiresiam lita mmienu ne fa a wɔayam no muhumuhu mfra ngo a wɔakyi firi ngo dua mu nkɔtoa mmienu ne fa; saa ara na momfa bobesa lita baako nyɛ ahwiesa.

for the one lamb, a tenth part of fine flour sprinkled with crushed oil, which shall have the measure of the fourth part of a hin, and wine for a libation, of the same measure;

41 Momfa odwammaa no baako a waka no mmɔ anwummerɛ afɔdeɛ a asikyiresiam ne nsã ka ho te sɛ anɔpa deɛ no ara. Ɛbɛyɛ ɔhyeɛ afɔrehwam ama Awurade.

truly, the other lamb you shall offer in the evening, according to the ritual of the morning oblation, and according to what we have said, as an odor of sweetness.

42 “Saa afɔrebɔ yi bɛkɔ so ɛda biara wɔ Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no ɛpono ano wɔ Awurade anim. Ɛhɔ na mɛhyia mo ne mo akasa.

It is a sacrifice to the Lord, by a perpetual oblation among your generations, at the door of the tabernacle of the testimony before the Lord, where I resolve to speak to you.

43 Na mɛhyia Israel mma wɔ hɔ na mʼanimuonyam ate Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no ho.

And there I will instruct the sons of Israel, and the altar shall be sanctified by my glory.

44 “Ampa ara, mɛte Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no ne afɔrebukyia no ho ne Aaron ne ne mmammarima a wɔyɛ mʼasɔfoɔ no ho.

I will also sanctify the tabernacle of the testimony with the altar, and Aaron with his sons, to exercise the priesthood for me.

45 Na mɛtena Israelfoɔ mu na mayɛ wɔn Onyankopɔn,

And I will live in the midst of the sons of Israel, and I will be their God.

46 na wɔbɛhunu sɛ mene Awurade, wɔn Onyankopɔn. Mede wɔn firi Misraim baeɛ sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a, mɛtena wɔn mu. Mene Awurade wɔn Onyankopɔn.

And they shall know that I am the Lord their God, who led them away from the land of Egypt, so that I might dwell among them. I am the Lord their God.”
