3 Mose 8
1 Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose sɛ,
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
2 “Afei fa Aaron ne ne mmammarima bra Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no kwan no ano. Wɔmfa wɔn ntadeɛ, ɔsra ngo, nantwie ba a wɔde no bɛbɔ bɔne afɔdeɛ, nnwennini mmienu ne burodo a mmɔreka nni mu nkɛntɛmma mmienu
Take Aaron, with his sons, their vestments, and the oil of anointing, a calf for sin, two rams, and a basket with unleavened bread,
3 na frɛ Israelfoɔ no nyinaa na wɔmmra hɔ bi.”
and gather together all the assembly at the door of the tabernacle.
4 Enti nnipa no nyinaa hyiaeɛ wɔ Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no kwan ano.
And Moses did as the Lord had commanded. And when all the crowd was gathered together before the entrance of the tabernacle,
5 Mose ka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, “Adeɛ a merebɛyɛ yi, Awurade na wahyɛ me sɛ menyɛ.”
he said: “This is the word that the Lord has ordered to be done.”
6 Afei, ɔfaa Aaron ne ne mmammarima de nsuo hohoroo wɔn ho,
And immediately, he brought forward Aaron and his sons. And when he had washed them,
7 de Aaron atadeɛ sononko a ne mmeamu ka ho de ne batakari a asɔfotadeɛ a wɔde tam a ɛyɛ fɛ ayɛ nʼabɔwomu hyɛɛ no.
he vested the high priest with the linen undergarment, wrapped him with the wide belt, and clothed him with the hyacinth tunic, and over it he imposed the ephod.
8 Afei, Mose de adaaboɔ fam Aaron bo de Urim ne Tumim no hyɛɛ mu.
And tying it to the belt, he fitted it to the breastplate, on which was Doctrine and Truth.
9 Ɔbɔɔ Aaron abotire a ɛwɔ sika abɔnimu kronkron sɛdeɛ Awurade hyɛɛ no sɛ ɔnyɛ no ara pɛ.
Also, he wrapped the headdress on his head, and over it, opposite the forehead, he placed the plate of gold, consecrated with sanctification, just as the Lord had instructed him.
10 Afei, Mose faa ɔsra ngo no de bi petee Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no ankasa ne biribiara a ɛwɔ mu ho de tee ne nyinaa ho.
He also took up the oil of anointing, with which he anointed the tabernacle, along with all of its articles.
11 Ɔduruu afɔrebukyia no so no, ɔpetee so mprɛnson. Afei, ɔpetee nkukuo a ɛwɔ afɔrebukyia no so no ne atam ne ne ntaamu ho de tee ho.
And when he had sprinkled the altar seven times to sanctify it, he anointed it and all its vessels. And the washtub with its base he sanctified with the oil.
12 Afei, ɔhwiee ɔsra ngo no guu Aaron tirim de tee ne ho sɛ ɔnhyɛ nʼadwuma ase.
And pouring the oil over Aaron’s head, he anointed and consecrated him.
13 Deɛ ɛdi hɔ ne sɛ, Mose de mmatakari no hyehyɛɛ Aaron mmammarima a abɔwomu ne ɛkyɛ ka ho sɛdeɛ Awurade hyɛɛ no sɛ ɔnyɛ no.
Likewise, after he had offered his sons, he vested them with linen tunics, and wrapped them with wide belts, and placed headdresses on them, just as the Lord had ordered.
14 Afei, ɔfaa nantwinini ba sɛ ɔde no rekɔbɔ bɔne ho afɔdeɛ. Aaron ne ne mmammarima de wɔn nsa guu aboa no apampam,
He also offered the calf for sin. And when Aaron and his sons had placed their hands upon its head,
15 ma Mose kumm no. Ɔde ne nsateaa baako bɔɔ ne mogya mu de yɛɛ afɔrebukyia mmɛn nan no ho ne afɔrebukyia no ankasa ho de tee ho, ɛnna ɔhwiee mogya no nkaeɛ no guu afɔrebukyia no ase de tee ho sɛ mpatadeɛ.
he immolated it. And drawing the blood, and dipping his finger in it, he touched the horns of the altar all around. And when it was expiated and sanctified, he poured out the remainder of the blood at its base.
16 Ɔfaa nʼayamdeɛ ho sradeɛ ne ne berɛboɔ ho sradeɛ ne ne sawa mmienu no ne ɛho sradeɛ hyee ne nyinaa wɔ afɔrebukyia no so.
Yet truly, the fat which was on the vital organs, and the mesh of the liver, and the two little kidneys with their fat, he burned upon the altar.
17 Wɔhyee nantwinini ba no ne ne nhoma ne nʼagyanan wɔ sraban no akyi sɛdeɛ Awurade hyɛɛ Mose no.
And the calf with the skin, and the flesh, and the dung, he burned beyond the camp, just as the Lord had instructed.
18 Afei, ɔde odwennini maa Awurade sɛ ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ. Aaron ne ne mmammarima de wɔn nsa guu aboa no apampam
He also offered a ram as a holocaust. And when Aaron and his sons had imposed their hands upon its head,
19 na Mose kumm no de ne mogya no bi petee afɔrebukyia no ho nyinaa.
he immolated it, and he poured out its blood around the altar.
20 Afei, ɔbobɔɔ odwennini no nam na ɔhyee asinasini no a ne ti ne ne sradeɛ ka ho.
And cutting the ram into pieces, he burned its head, and the limbs, and the fat in the fire,
21 Na ɔde nsuo hohoroo nʼayamdeɛ ne ne nan no ho hyee no wɔ afɔrebukyia no so maa ne nyinaa hyee pasaa wɔ Awurade anim. Ɛyɛ ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ a ɛsɔɔ Awurade ani yie, ɛfiri sɛ, Mose dii Awurade akwankyerɛ no nyinaa so pɛpɛɛpɛ.
having first washed the intestines and the feet. And then he burned the whole of the ram upon the altar, because it was a holocaust of most sweet odor to the Lord, just as he had instructed him.
22 Afei, Mose de odwennini baako a ɔyɛ ahoteɛ dwennini baeɛ. Aaron ne ne mmammarima de wɔn nsa guu nʼapampam.
He also offered the second ram, as a consecration of priests. And Aaron and his sons placed their hands upon its head.
23 Mose kumm no na ɔde mogya no bi kaa Aaron aso nifa ase ne ne nsa nifa kokurobetie ne ne nan nifa kokurobetie.
And when Moses had immolated it, taking up some of its blood, he touched the tip of Aaron’s right ear, and the thumb of his right hand, and similarly also his foot.
24 Ɔde mogya no bi yɛɛ Aaron mmammarima no nso aso nifa ase ne wɔn nsa nifa kokurobetie ne wɔn nan nifa kokurobetie. Ɔde mogya no nkaeɛ petee afɔrebukyia no ho nyinaa.
He also offered the sons of Aaron. And when, from the blood of the ram which was immolated, he had touched the tip of the right ear of each one, and the thumbs of their right hands, as well as their feet, he poured out the remainder upon the altar all around.
25 Afei, ɔfaa sradeɛ no, ne dua, ne ne mu sradeɛ, ne berɛboɔ kotokuo, ne sawa mmienu no ne ɛho sradeɛ ne nʼabati nifa
Yet truly, the fat, and the rump, and all the fat that covers the intestines, and the mesh of the liver, and the two kidneys with their fat, and the right shoulder, he separated.
26 ɛnna ɔde saa burodo ntrawa a mmɔreka nni mu no baako nso ne burodo ntrawa no baako a wɔde ngo agu so ne burodo ntrawa baako a wɔfaa ne nyinaa firii kɛntɛn a wɔde bɛsii hɔ wɔ Awurade anim no mu guguu yeinom nyinaa so.
Then, taking bread without leaven from the basket of unleavened bread, which was before the Lord, and a cake sprinkled with oil, and a wafer, he placed them upon the fat and the right shoulder,
27 Wɔde yeinom nyinaa hyɛɛ Aaron ne ne mmammarima nsa sɛ wɔnhim no afɔrebukyia no anim sɛ ɔhim afɔrebɔ mma Awurade.
delivering all these to Aaron and his sons. And when they had lifted them up in the sight of the Lord,
28 Mose gyee ne nyinaa firii wɔn nsam hyee no wɔ afɔrebukyia no so de maa Awurade; na afɔrebɔ no sɔɔ Awurade ani.
he received them again from their hands, and he burned them upon the altar of holocaust, because it was an oblation of consecration, as a sweet odor of sacrifice to the Lord.
29 Afei Mose faa ne yan no hinhim no Awurade anim; yei ne Mose kyɛfa wɔ ahoteɛ odwennini no mu sɛdeɛ Awurade ka kyerɛɛ no sɛ ɔnyɛ no.
And he took his portion from the ram of consecration, and he lifted up its breast in the sight of the Lord, just as the Lord had instructed him.
30 Afei ɔfaa ɔsra ngo no ne mogya a ɔde apete afɔrebukyia no so no bi de petee Aaron ne ne mmammarima ntadeɛ mu de tee Aaron ne ne mmammarima ne wɔn ntadeɛ ho maa Awurade dwumadie.
And taking up the ointment, and the blood that was on the altar, he sprinkled it over Aaron and his vestments, and over his sons and their vestments.
31 Mose ka kyerɛɛ Aaron ne ne mmammarima no sɛ, “Monnoa ɛnam no wɔ Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no kwan ano na momfa nni burodo a ɛwɔ kɛntɛn a asɔfohyɛ afɔrebɔdeɛ wɔ mu no sɛdeɛ meka kyerɛɛ mo no.
And when he had sanctified them with their vestments, he instructed them, saying: “Cook the flesh before the entrance of the tabernacle, and eat it there. Likewise, eat the loaves of consecration, which have been placed in the basket, just as the Lord instructed me, saying: ‘Aaron and his sons shall eat them.’
32 Ɛnam ne burodo biara a ɛbɛka no, monhye.
Then whatever will remain of the flesh and the loaves shall be consumed with fire.
33 Bio, ɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ wɔntena Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no ano nnanson, mfa nwie asɔfohyɛ dwumadie no.
Also, you shall not exit from the door of the tabernacle for seven days, until the day on which the time of your consecration shall be completed. For in seven days the consecration is finished,
34 Mose kaa bio sɛ, deɛ ɔyɛɛ no ɛda no nyinaa no, Awurade na ɔhyɛɛ no sɛ ɔnyɛ mfa nyɛ mpata mma wɔn.
even as it has begun at this present time, so that the rite of the sacrifice might be accomplished.
35 Ɔsane hyɛɛ Aaron ne ne mmammarima no sɛ wɔntena Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no ano anadwo ne awia nnanson. Ɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ, ‘Sɛ mofiri hɔ a, mobɛwuwu. Yei ne asɛm a Awurade aka.’”
Day and night you shall remain in the tabernacle, observing the watches of the Lord, otherwise you shall die. For so it has been commanded to me.”
36 Enti, Aaron ne ne mmammarima dii nsɛm a Awurade nam Mose so hyɛɛ wɔn sɛ wɔnyɛ no nyinaa so.
And Aaron and his sons did everything that the Lord spoke by the hand of Moses.
