3 Mose 16

1 Aaron mmammarima baanu a wɔwuwuu wɔ Awurade anim wuo akyi no, Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose sɛ,

And YHWH speaks to Moses after the death of the two sons of Aaron, in their drawing near before YHWH, and they die;

2 “Bɔ wo nua Aaron kɔkɔ sɛ, ɔnnkɔ kronkronbea hɔ wɔ ntwamutam no akyi beaeɛ a apam adaka no si ne mmɔborɔhunu beaeɛ hɔ kwa. Ɔkɔ hɔ a ɔbɛwu, ɛfiri sɛ, mʼankasa mewɔ omununkum a ɛkata mpata beaeɛ so no mu.

indeed, YHWH says to Moses, “Speak to your brother Aaron, and he does not come in at all times to the holy place within the veil, to the front of the propitiatory covering, which [is] on the Ark, and he does not die, for I am seen in a cloud on the propitiatory covering.

3 “Sɛ ɔpɛ sɛ ɔkɔ hɔ a, deɛ ɛsɛ sɛ ɔyɛ nie: Ɛsɛ sɛ ɔde nantwinini ba ba ma wɔde bɔ bɔne ho afɔdeɛ na ɔde odwennini nso ba ma wɔde bɔ ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ.

With this Aaron comes into the holy place: with a bullock, a son of the herd, for a sin-offering, and a ram for a burnt-offering;

4 Ɛsɛ sɛ ɔdware na ɔhyɛ atadeɛ nahanaha ne ne nhyɛaseɛ na ɔbɔ abɔwomu ne abotire.

he puts on a holy linen coat, and linen trousers are on his flesh, and he girds himself with a linen girdle, and he wraps himself up with a linen turban; they [are] holy garments; and he has bathed his flesh with water and put them on.

5 Afei, Israelfoɔ bɛbrɛ no mmirekyie mmienu a wɔde bɛbɔ wɔn bɔne ho afɔdeɛ ne odwennini a wɔde bɛbɔ wɔn ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ.

And from the congregation of the sons of Israel he takes two kids of the goats for a sin-offering and one ram for a burnt-offering;

6 “Deɛ ɛdi ɛkan no, ɔde nantwie ba no bɛma Awurade sɛ bɔne ho afɔdeɛ a ɔrebɔ ama ne ho de ayɛ mpatadeɛ ama ne ho ne ne fiefoɔ.

and Aaron has brought the bullock of the sin-offering near, which is his own, and has made atonement for himself and for his house;

7 Afei, ɔde mmirekyie mmienu no bɛba Awurade anim wɔ Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no ano

and he has taken the two goats, and has caused them to stand before YHWH, at the opening of the Tent of Meeting.

8 na wɔabɔ wɔn so ntonto ahunu Awurade deɛ, ne deɛ ɛsɛ sɛ wɔsane de no korɔ.

And Aaron has given lots over the two goats, one lot for YHWH and one lot for a goat of departure;

9 Aaron de abirekyie a wɔde no rebɛbɔ Awurade afɔdeɛ no bɛbɔ bɔne ho afɔdeɛ.

and Aaron has brought the goat near, on which the lot for YHWH has gone up, and has made it a sin-offering.

10 Wɔrenkum abirekyie baako a aka no na wɔde no aba Awurade anim. Wɔbɛyɛ mpatadeɛ ho dwumadie bi agu ne so na wɔde no akɔ ɛserɛ so akɔgya no wɔ hɔ sɛ mpatadwan.

And the goat on which the lot for a goat of departure has gone up is caused to stand living before YHWH to make atonement by it, to send it away for a goat of departure into the wilderness.

11 “Aaron de nantwinini ba no abɔ bɔne ho afɔdeɛ ama ne ho ne ne fiefoɔ awie no,

And Aaron has brought the bullock of the sin-offering near, which is his own, and has made atonement for himself and for his house, and has slaughtered the bullock of the sin-offering which [is] his own,

12 ɔbɛfa adeɛ a wɔhye aduhwam wɔ mu a egyasramma a wɔfaa no Awurade afɔrebukyia no so ayɛ no ma. Afei ɔde aduhwam a wɔayam no muhumuhu bɛyɛ ne nsam na ɔde akɔ ntwamutam no akyi.

and has taken the fullness of the censer of burning coals of fire from off the altar, from before YHWH, and the fullness of his hands of thin spice-incense, and has brought [it] within the veil;

13 Ɛhɔ na ɔde aduhwam no bɛgu bidie no so wɔ Awurade anim na ayi wisie kumɔnn wɔ mpata beaeɛ apam ne adaka (a aboɔ apono a wɔatwerɛ Mmaransɛm Edu agu so wɔ mu) no so nyinaa sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a ɔrenwu.

and he has put the incense on the fire before YHWH, and the cloud of the incense has covered the propitiatory covering which [is] on the Testimony, and he does not die.

14 Na ɔde nantwinini ba no mogya no bi bɛba na ɔde ne nsateaa baako abɔ mu apete mpata beaeɛ hɔ apueeɛ fam na wapete no mprɛnson wɔ animu.

And he has taken of the blood of the bullock, and has sprinkled with his finger on the front of the propitiatory covering eastward; even at the front of the propitiatory covering he sprinkles seven times of the blood with his finger.

15 “Afei, ɛsɛ sɛ ɔfiri adi na ɔde abirekyie no kɔbɔ ɔmanfoɔ no bɔne ho afɔdeɛ na wɔde ne mogya no ba ntwamutam no akyi na wɔpete gu mpata beaeɛ hɔ ne animu sɛdeɛ ɔde nantwinini ba no mogya no yɛeɛ no ara pɛ.

And he has slaughtered the goat of the sin-offering which [is] the people’s, and has brought in its blood to the inside of the veil, and has done with its blood as he has done with the blood of the bullock, and has sprinkled it on the propitiatory covering, and at the front of the propitiatory covering,

16 Na ɛkyerɛ sɛ, wayɛ mpatadeɛ ama beaeɛ kronkron hɔ, ɛfiri sɛ, Israelfoɔ bɔne ama efi aka beaeɛ hɔ ne Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no a wɔasi wɔ wɔn mfimfini hɔ no.

and he has made atonement for the holy place because of the uncleanness of the sons of Israel, and because of their transgressions in all their sins; and so he does for the Tent of Meeting which is dwelling with them in the midst of their uncleannesses.

17 Sɛ Aaron wura Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no mu kɔ kronkronbea hɔ rekɔyɛ mpatadwuma no a, ɛnni ho kwan sɛ obiara kɔ hɔ bi, gye sɛ ɔyɛ mpatadeɛ no ma ne ho ne ne fiefoɔ ne Israelfoɔ nyinaa wie.

And no man is in the Tent of Meeting in his going in to make atonement in the holy place, until his coming out; and he has made atonement for himself, and for his house, and for all the assembly of Israel.

18 “Afei, ɔbɛkɔ afɔrebukyia no ho wɔ Awurade anim akɔyɛ mpatadeɛ ama afɔrebukyia no. Ɛsɛ sɛ ɔde nantwinini ba no ne abirekyie mogya no fɔre mmɛn a ɛtuatua afɔrebukyia no ho no ho,

And he has gone out to the altar which [is] before YHWH, and has made atonement for it; and he has taken of the blood of the bullock and of the blood of the goat, and has put [it] around the horns of the altar;

19 na ɔde ne nsateaa baako pete mogya no mprɛnson gu afɔrebukyia no so de te ho firi Israelfoɔ bɔne no ho yɛ no kronkron.

and he has sprinkled on it of the blood with his finger seven times, and has cleansed it, and has hallowed it from the uncleannesses of the sons of Israel.

20 “Sɛ ɔwie mpatadeɛ a ɛfa kronkronbea hɔ ne Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no ho nsɛm nyinaa ne afɔrebukyia no ho a, ɔde abirekyie no bɛba anikann

And he has ceased from making atonement [for] the holy place, and the Tent of Meeting, and the altar, and has brought the living goat near;

21 de ne nsa mmienu agu aboa no apampam, na waka atirimuɔden ne atuateɛ a Israelfoɔ ayɛ, wɔn bɔne nyinaa de agu abirekyie no apampam, na obi a wɔayi no sɛ ɔnyɛ saa adwuma no de aboa no bɛkɔ ɛserɛ so.

and Aaron has laid his two hands on the head of the living goat, and has confessed over it all the iniquities of the sons of Israel, and all their transgressions in all their sins, and has put them on the head of the goat, and has sent [it] away by the hand of a ready man into the wilderness;

22 Enti abirekyie no bɛsoa nnipa no bɔne nyinaa de akɔ asase a obi nte so no so na onii no agyaa no wɔ ɛserɛ so hɔ.

and the goat has borne on himself all their iniquities to a land of separation. And he has sent the goat away into the wilderness,

23 “Afei, Aaron bɛkɔ Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan mu hɔ bio akɔworɔ nʼatadeɛ nahanaha a ɔhyɛɛ wɔ ntwamutam no akyi no na wagya no wɔ hɔ.

and Aaron has come into the Tent of Meeting, and has stripped off the linen garments which he had put on in his going into the holy place, and has placed them there;

24 Ɔbɛkɔ akɔdware wɔ baabi a wɔate hɔ ho na wahyɛ ne ntadeɛ no bio na wafiri adi akɔbɔ ɔno ankasa ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ asane abɔ ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ ama nnipa no na wayɛ mpatadeɛ ama ne ho ne wɔn.

and he has bathed his flesh with water in the holy place, and has put on his garments, and has come out, and has made his burnt-offering, and the burnt-offering of the people, and has made atonement for himself and for the people;

25 Ɔbɛhye sradeɛ de abɔ bɔne ho afɔdeɛ wɔ afɔrebukyia no so.

and with the fat of the sin-offering he makes incense on the altar.

26 “Akyire no, ɔbarima a ɔde abirekyie no kɔɔ ɛserɛ so no bɛsi ne ntoma na wadware na wasane aba beaeɛ hɔ bio.

And he who is sending the goat away for a goat of departure washes his garments, and has bathed his flesh with water, and afterward he comes into the camp.

27 Na nantwie ba ne abirekyie a wɔde bɔɔ bɔne ho afɔdeɛ no a Aaron de wɔn mogya kɔɔ kronkronbea hɔ kɔyɛɛ mpatadeɛ no, wɔde wɔn bɛkɔ sraban no akyiri baabi akɔhye a wɔn ho nhoma ne wɔn ayamdeɛ ka ho.

And the bullock of the sin-offering and the goat of the sin-offering, whose blood has been brought in to make atonement in the holy place, [one] brings out to the outside of the camp, and they have burned their skins, and their flesh, and their dung with fire;

28 Akyire yi, onipa a ɔrebɛhye afɔrebɔdeɛ no bɛsi ne ntoma, adware na wasane akɔ beaeɛ hɔ bio.

and he who is burning them washes his garments, and has bathed his flesh with water, and afterward he comes into the camp.

29 “Yei yɛ mmara a ɛwɔ hɔ daa. Ɔbosome a ɛtɔ so nson dadu so no, ɛnsɛ sɛ moyɛ adwuma biara, na mmom, momfa saa ɛda no nkari mo ho nhwɛ wɔ ahobrɛaseɛ mu. Saa mmara yi ka wɔn a wɔwoo wɔn wɔ asase yi so anaa ahɔhoɔ a wɔne Israelfoɔ teɛ;

And it has been for a continuous statute to you, in the seventh month, on the tenth of the month, you humble yourselves, and do no work—the native and the sojourner who is sojourning in your midst;

30 ɛfiri sɛ, ɛda yi na wɔde kae mo mpata ne mo ahodwira wɔ mo bɔne ho wɔ Awurade anim.

for on this day he makes atonement for you, to cleanse you; you are clean from all your sins before YHWH;

31 Ɛyɛ homeda a ɛsɛ sɛ mode home enti ɛsɛ sɛ modi ɛda no dinn wɔ ahobrɛaseɛ mu. Ɛyɛ mmara a ɛwɔ hɔ daa.

it [is] a Sabbath of rest for you, and you have humbled yourselves—a continuous statute.

32 Saa ahyɛdeɛ yi, awoɔ ntoatoasoɔ akyi, Ɔsɔfopanin a wɔasra no no na ɔbɛsi ne nana Aaron anan adi ho dwuma wɔ beaeɛ hɔ. Ɔno nko ara na ɔwɔ ho kwan sɛ ɔhyɛ atadeɛ kronkron nahanaha no

And the priest whom he anoints, and whose hand he consecrates to act as priest instead of his father, has made atonement, and has put on the linen garments, the holy garments;

33 na ɔyɛ mpatadeɛ wɔ kronkronbea hɔ wɔ Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan mu hɔ, afɔrebukyia no so, de ma asɔfoɔ no ne nnipa no.

and he has made atonement [for] the holy sanctuary; and [for] the Tent of Meeting, even [for] the altar he makes atonement; indeed, he makes atonement for the priests and for all the people of the assembly.

34 “Yei bɛyɛ mmara a ɛbɛtena hɔ daa ama mo, na Israelfoɔ bɔne enti, moagyina so afe biara de ayɛ mpatadeɛ ama Israelfoɔ afiri wɔn bɔne nyinaa mu.” Na Mose dii mmara a Awurade hyɛ maa no nyinaa so.

And this has been for a continuous statute to you, to make atonement for the sons of Israel, because of all their sins, once in a year”; and he does as YHWH has commanded Moses.
