3 Mose 16

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

And the LORD spoke to Moses after the death of the two sons of Aaron, when they offered 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, Speak to Aaron thy brother, that he come not at all times into the holy place within the veil before the mercy seat, which is upon the ark; that he may not die: for I will appear in the cloud upon 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.

Thus shall Aaron come into the holy place: 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 upon his flesh, and shall be girded with the linen waistband, and with the linen mitre shall he be attired: these are holy garments; therefore shall he wash his flesh in water, and so 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 he shall take of the congregation of the children of Israel 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 shall offer his bull of the sin offering, which is for himself, and make an atonement for himself, and for his house.

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

And he shall take the two goats, and present them before the LORD at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.

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

And Aaron shall cast lots upon 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.

And Aaron shall bring the goat upon which the LORD’S lot fell, 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 to be the scapegoat, shall be presented alive before the LORD, to make an atonement with him, and to let him go for a scapegoat into the wilderness.

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

And Aaron shall bring the bull of the sin offering, which is for himself, and shall make an 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.

And he shall take a censer full of burning coals of fire from off the altar before the LORD, and his hands full 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 upon the fire before the LORD, that the cloud of the incense may cover the mercy seat that is upon the testimony, that he may 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 shall take of the blood of the bull, and sprinkle it with his finger upon the mercy seat eastward; and before the mercy seat shall he sprinkle 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 shall he kill the goat of the sin offering, that is for the people, and bring his blood within the veil, and do with that blood as he did with the blood of the bull, and sprinkle it upon 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 an atonement for the holy place, because of the uncleanness of the children of Israel, and because of their transgressions in all their sins: and so shall he do for the tabernacle of the congregation, that remaineth among 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.

And there shall be no man in the tabernacle of the congregation when he goeth in to make an atonement in the holy place, until he shall come out, and shall have made an atonement for himself, and for his household, and for all the congregation 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 shall go out to the altar that is before the LORD, and make an atonement for it; and shall take of the blood of the bull, and of the blood of the goat, and put it upon the horns of the altar on all sides.

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 shall sprinkle of the blood upon it with his finger seven times, and cleanse it, and hallow it 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

And when he hath finished making an atonement for the holy place, and the tabernacle of the congregation, and the altar, he shall bring 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.

And Aaron shall lay both his hands upon the head of the live goat, and confess over him all the iniquities of the children of Israel, and all their transgressions in all their sins, putting them upon the head of the goat, and shall send him away by the hand of a fit 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 shall bear upon him all their iniquities to a land not inhabited: and he shall let go the goat 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.

And Aaron shall come into the tabernacle of the congregation, and shall put 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.

And he shall wash his flesh with water in the holy place, and put on his garments, and come forth, and offer his burnt offering, and the burnt offering of the people, and make an atonement for himself, and for the people.

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

And the fat of the sin offering shall he burn upon 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 that let go the goat for the scapegoat shall wash his clothes, and bathe his flesh in water, and afterward 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.

And 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 one carry forth outside the camp; and they shall burn in the fire their skins, and their flesh, and their dung.

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

And he that burneth 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;

And this shall be a statute for ever to you: that in the seventh month, on the tenth day of the month, ye shall afflict your souls, and do no work at all, whether it be one of your own country, or a stranger that sojourneth among you:

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

For on that day shall the priest make an atonement for you, to cleanse you, that ye may be clean from all your sins 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 shall be a sabbath of rest to you, and ye shall afflict your souls, by a statute for ever.

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 shall anoint, and whom he shall consecrate to minister in the priest’s office in his father’s stead, shall make the atonement, and shall put on the linen clothes, 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.

And he shall make an atonement for the holy sanctuary, and he shall make an atonement for the tabernacle of the congregation, and for the altar, and he shall make an atonement for the priests, and for all the people of the congregation.

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 shall be an everlasting statute to you, to make an atonement for the children of Israel for all their sins once a year. And he did as the LORD commanded Moses.
