3 Mose 16

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

The LORD spoke to Moses, after the death of the two sons of Aaron, when they drew near before the LORD, and died;

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.

and the LORD said to Moses, "Tell Aaron your brother, not to come at all times into the Most Holy Place within the veil, before the mercy seat which is on the ark; lest he die: for I will appear in the cloud on the mercy seat.

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.

"Herewith shall Aaron come into the sanctuary: with a young bull 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 shall put on the holy linen coat, and he shall have the linen breeches on his body, and shall put on the linen sash, and he shall be dressed with the linen turban. They are the holy garments. He shall bathe his body in 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.

He shall take from the congregation of the children of Israel two male 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.

"Aaron shall offer the bull of the sin offering, which is for himself, and make atonement for himself and for his house.

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

He shall take the two goats, and set them before the LORD at the door of the Tent of Meeting.

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

Aaron shall cast lots for the two goats; one lot for the LORD, and the other lot for the scapegoat.

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

Aaron shall present the goat on which the lot fell for the LORD, and offer him for 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.

But the goat, on which the lot fell for the scapegoat, shall be presented alive before the LORD, to make atonement for him, to send him away for the scapegoat into the wilderness.

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

"Aaron shall present the bull of the sin offering, which is for himself, and shall make atonement for himself and for his house, and shall kill the bull of the sin offering which is for himself.

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.

He shall take a censer full of coals of fire from off the altar before the LORD, and two handfuls of sweet incense beaten small, and bring 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 shall put the incense on the fire before the LORD, that the cloud of the incense may cover the mercy seat that is on the testimony, so that he will 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.

He shall take some of the blood of the bull, and sprinkle it with his finger on the mercy seat on the east; and before the mercy seat he shall sprinkle some of the blood with his finger seven times.

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.

"Then he shall kill the goat of the sin offering, that is for the people, and bring his blood within the veil, and do with his blood as he did with the blood of the bull, and sprinkle it on the mercy seat, and before the mercy seat:

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 shall make atonement for the Holy Place, because of the uncleanness of the children of Israel, and because of their transgressions, even all their sins; and so he shall do for the Tent of Meeting, that dwells with them in the midst of their uncleanness.

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.

There shall be no one in the Tent of Meeting when he enters to make atonement in the Holy Place, until he comes out, and has made atonement for himself and for his household, 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,

"He shall go out to the altar that is before the LORD and make atonement for it, and shall take some of the bull's blood, and some of the goat's blood, and put it around on 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.

He shall sprinkle some of the blood on it with his finger seven times, and cleanse it, and make it holy from the uncleanness of the children 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

"When he has made an end of atoning for the Holy Place, the Tent of Meeting, and the altar, he shall present the live goat.

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.

Aaron shall lay both his hands on the head of the live goat, and confess over him all the iniquities of the children of Israel, and all their transgressions, even all their sins; and he shall put them on the head of the goat, and shall send him away into the wilderness by the hand of a man who is in readiness.

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.

The goat shall carry all their iniquities on himself to a solitary land, and he shall let the goat go in 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.

"Aaron shall come into the Tent of Meeting, and shall take off the linen garments, which he put on when he went into the Holy Place, and shall leave 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.

Then he shall bathe himself in water in a holy place, and put on his garments, and come out and offer his burnt offering and the burnt offering of the people, and make atonement for himself and for the people.

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

The fat of the sin offering he shall burn 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.

"He who lets the goat go for the scapegoat shall wash his clothes, and bathe his flesh in water, and afterward he shall come 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.

The bull for the sin offering, and the goat for the sin offering, whose blood was brought in to make atonement in the Holy Place, shall be carried forth outside the camp; and they shall burn their skins, 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.

He who burns them shall wash his clothes, and bathe his flesh in water, and afterward he shall come 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;

"It shall be a statute to you forever: in the seventh month, on the tenth day of the month, you shall humble your souls, and shall do no manner of work, both the native and the foreigner who sojourns 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 shall atonement be made for you, to cleanse you; from all your sins you shall be clean before the LORD.

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 solemn rest to you, and you shall afflict your souls; it is a statute forever.

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

The cohen, who is anointed and who is consecrated to be cohen in his father's place, shall make the atonement, and shall put on the linen garments, even 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.

Then he shall make atonement for the Holy Sanctuary; and he shall make atonement for the Tent of Meeting and for the altar; and he shall make atonement for the cohanim 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.

"This shall be an everlasting statute for you, to make atonement for the children of Israel once in the year because of all their sins." It was done as the LORD commanded Moses.
