And the Lord seide to Aaron, Thou, and thi sones, and the hows of thi fadir with thee, schulen bere the wickidnesse of the seyntuarie; and thou and thi sones togidere schulen suffre the synnes of youre preesthod.

2 Fa wo nkurɔfoɔ a wɔwɔ Lewi abusuakuo no mu ma wɔmmoa wo mmammarima wɔ dwumadie kronkron no a wɔyɛ no Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no anim.

But also take thou with thee thi britheren of the lynage of Leuy, and the power of thi fadir, and be thei redi, that thei mynystre to thee. Forsothe thou and thi sones schulen mynystre in the tabernacle of witnessyng;

3 Ɛsɛ sɛ Lewifoɔ no hwɛ yie na wɔansɔ biribiara a ɛyɛ kronkron wɔ afɔrebukyia no so mu. Sɛ wɔyɛ saa a, mɛsɛe wo ne wɔn.

and the dekenes schulen wake at thi comaundementis, and at alle werkis of the tabernacle; so oneli that thei neiye not to the vessels of seyntuarie, and to the autir, lest bothe thei dien, and ye perischen togidere.

4 Obiara a ɔmfiri Lewi abusua mu nni ho kwan sɛ ɔboa wo ɛkwan biara so.

Forsothe be thei with thee, and wake thei in the kepyngis of the tabernacle, and in alle the cerymonyes therof. An alien schal not be meddlid with you.

5 “Kae sɛ asɔfoɔ no nko ara na ɛsɛ sɛ wɔdi dwuma a ɛho te wɔ kronkronbea hɔ ne afɔrebukyia no so. Sɛ wodi saa mmara yi so a, Onyankopɔn abufuo no remma Israelfoɔ no so bio sɛ wɔabu mmara yi so.

Wake ye in the kepyng of the seyntuarie, and in the seruyce of the auter, lest indignacioun rise on the sones of Israel.

6 Meka bio sɛ, Lewifoɔ a wɔyɛ wo nkurɔfoɔ no na wɔmmoa wo wɔ Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no mu dwumadie no. Wɔyɛ akyɛdeɛ firi Awurade hɔ ma wo.

Lo! Y haue youun `to you youre britheren, dekenes, fro the myddis of the sones of Israel, and Y haue youe a fre yifte to the Lord, that thei serue in the seruyces of his tabernacle.

7 Nanso, wo ne wo mmammarima asɔfoɔ no ankasa na mobɛdi dwuma a ɛho te wɔ afɔrebukyia no so ne deɛ ɛwɔ ntwamutam no mu, na asɔfodwuma no deɛ, ɛyɛ mo ara mo dom akyɛdeɛ dwumadie. Onipa foforɔ biara a ɔbɛyɛ nʼadwene sɛ ɔbɛdi dwuma no bi no bɛwu.”

Forsothe thou and thi sones, kepe youre preesthod; and alle thingis that perteynen to the ournyng of the auter, and ben with ynne the veil, schulen be mynystrid bi preestis; if ony straunger neiyeth, he schal be slayn.

8 Awurade sane ka kyerɛɛ Aaron sɛ: “Mede akyɛdeɛ a nkurɔfoɔ de abrɛ Awurade no nyinaa ama asɔfoɔ no; saa akyɛdeɛ yi a wɔhim no Awurade anim nam so de kyɛɛ no wɔ afɔrebukyia no anim no no, daa daa mmara enti, ɛyɛ mo ne mo mmammarima dea.

The Lord spak to Aaron, Lo! Y haue youe to thee the kepyng of my firste fruytis; Y haue youe to thee and to thi sones alle thingis, that ben halewid of the sones of Israel, for preestis office euerlastynge lawful thingis.

9 Aduane afɔrebɔ, bɔne afɔrebɔ ne afɔbuo afɔrebɔ nyinaa yɛ mo dea, agye emu bi a wɔhye no wɔ afɔrebukyia so de kyɛ Awurade no nko ara. Yeinom nyinaa yɛ afɔrebɔdeɛ a ɛyɛ kronkron pa ara.

Therfor thou schalt take these thingis of tho thingis that ben halewid, and ben offrid to the Lord; ech offryng, and sacrifice, and what euer thing is yoldun to me for synne and for trespas, and cometh in to hooli of hooli thingis, schal be thin and thi sones.

10 Ɛsɛ sɛ wɔdi no baabi a ɛyɛ kronkron pa ara. Na mmarima nko ara na ɛsɛ sɛ wɔdie.

Thou schalt ete it in the seyntuarie; malis oneli schulen ete therof, for it is halewid to the Lord.

11 “Akyɛdeɛ afoforɔ a wɔnam him a wɔbɛhim wɔ afɔrebukyia no so de bɛkyɛ me no yɛ wo ne wʼabusuafoɔ, wo mmammarima ne wo mmammaa nyinaa dea. Na wʼabusuafoɔ nyinaa tumi di bi, agye obi a saa ɛberɛ no na ne ho nte.

Forsothe Y haue youe to thee, and to thi sones and douytris, bi euerlastynge riyt, the firste fruytis whiche the sones of Israel a vowen and offren; he that is clene in thin hous, schal ete tho.

12 “Otwa berɛ a ɛdi ɛkan mu akyɛdeɛ a nnipa no de bɛba sɛ afɔrebɔdeɛ a wɔde rebrɛ Awurade no a ɛyɛ ngo pa, bobesa pa, aburoo ne afudeɛ biara no, ne nyinaa yɛ mo dea.

Y yaf to thee al the merowe of oile, and of wyn, and of wheete, what euer thing of the firste fruytis thei schulen offre to the Lord.

13 Sɛ mo abusuafoɔ hwɛ na wɔn ho te a, wɔtumi di yeinom nyinaa bi.

14 “Deɛ wɔde bɛma Awurade biara yɛ mo dea.

15 Israelfoɔ abakan ne wɔn mmoa nyinaa abakan a wɔde brɛ Awurade yɛ mo dea. Nanso mmoa a memmaa mo ɛkwan sɛ wɔnwe wɔn nam no deɛ, monnnye wɔn abakan. Na mmom, ɛsɛ sɛ wɔtua sika kakra de si abakan biara anan.

What euer thing `schal breke out first of the wombe of al fleisch, which fleisch thei offren to the Lord, whether it is of men, ethir of beestis, it schal be of thi riyt; so oneli that thou take prijs for the firste gendrid child of man, and that thou make ech beeste which is vncleene to be bouyt ayen;

16 Sɛ abakan no di bosome a, na ɛsɛ sɛ wɔde ɔgye boɔ a ɛyɛ dwetɛ gram aduonum nsia sɛdeɛ kronkronbea hɔ nkariboɔ a ɛyɛ gram dubaako ne nkyemu anum mu baako no teɛ no ba.

whos ayenbiyng schal be aftir o monethe, for fyue siclis of siluer, bi the weiyte of seyntuarie; a sicle hath xx. halpens.

17 “Nanso anantwie, nnwan ne mpɔnkye mmakan deɛ, ɛnsɛ sɛ wɔgye wɔn. Ɛsɛ sɛ wɔde wɔn bɔ afɔdeɛ ma Awurade. Wɔn mogya na ɛsɛ sɛ wɔde pete afɔrebukyia no so na wɔhye wɔn sradeɛ no sɛ ogya afɔdeɛ. Ɛyɛ adeɛ a Awurade ani sɔ.

Forsothe thou schalt not make the firste gendrid of oxe, and of scheep, and of goet, to be ayen bouyt, for tho ben halewid to the Lord; oneli thou schalt schede the blood of tho on the auter, and thou schalt brenne the ynnere fatnesse in to swettist odour to the Lord.

18 Saa mmoa yi nyinaa ɛnam bɛyɛ mo dea. Ne yan ne ne srɛ nifa a wɔbɛhim no afɔrebukyia no anim de akyerɛ sɛ wɔde ama Awurade no nso, mobɛfa.

Forsothe the fleischis schulen falle in to thin vss, as the brest halewid and the riyt schuldur, schulen be thine.

19 Mede afɔrebɔdeɛ a Israelfoɔ de bɛbrɛ Awurade a wɔbɛhim no no nyinaa ma mo ne mo abusuafoɔ. Mo ne mo abusuafoɔ mfa na monni. Yei yɛ bɔhyɛ a ɛda mo ne Awurade ne mo asefoɔ ntam daa nyinaa.”

Y yaf to the and to thi sones and douytris, bi euerlastynge riyt, alle the firste fruytis of seyntuarie, whiche the sones of Israel offren to the Lord; it is euerlastynge couenant of salt bifor the Lord, to thee, and to thi sones.

20 Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Aaron sɛ, “Mo asɔfoɔ no nso, ɛnsɛ sɛ mopɛ agyapadeɛ ne akatua foforɔ biara. Na me ara na me ho hia mo.

And the Lord seide to Aaron, Ye schulen not welde ony thing in the lond of hem, nether ye schulen haue part among hem; Y am thi part and erytage, in the myddis of the sones of Israel.

21 “Na Lewi abusuakuo deɛ, wɔfiri Israel asase so ho adwumadeɛ ntotosoɔ dudu no mu na ɛbɛtua wɔn ka.

Forsothe Y yaf to the sones of Leuy alle the tithis of Israel in to possessioun, for the seruyce bi whyche thei seruen me in the tabernacle of boond of pees;

22 Ɛfiri ɛnnɛ rekorɔ, Israelfoɔ a wɔnyɛ asɔfoɔ ne Lewifoɔ no nni ho kwan sɛ wɔkɔ kronkron mu kronkron hɔ. Wɔyɛ saa a, wɔbɛbu wɔn fɔ na wɔawuwu.

that the sones of Israel neiye no more to the `tabernacle of boond of pees, nether do dedli synne.

23 Lewifoɔ no nko ara na wɔbɛyɛ adwuma wɔ hɔ. Sɛ wɔanyɛ a, wɔbɛbu wɔn fɔ. Ɛyɛ mmara a ɛda hɔ afebɔɔ sɛ ɛnsɛ sɛ Lewini biara nya agyapadeɛ wɔ Israelman mu.

To the sones aloone of Leuy, seruynge me in the tabernacle, and berynge the `synnes of the puple, it schal be a lawful thing euerlastynge in youre generaciouns.

24 Mmom, ntotosoɔ dudu a ɔmanfoɔ de ba ma wɔhim no afɔrebukyia no anim de ma Awurade no na ɛsɛ sɛ Lewifoɔ no fa. Yei yɛ agyapadeɛ, enti ɛho nhia sɛ wɔpɛ agyapadeɛ foforɔ bi bio.”

Thei schulen welde noon other thing, and thei schulen be apeied with the offryng of tithis, whiche Y departide in to vsis and necessaries of hem.

25 Awurade sane ka kyerɛɛ Mose sɛ,

And the Lord spak to Moises and seide,

26 “Ka kyerɛ Lewifoɔ no sɛ, ntotosoɔ dudu a wɔnya no, wɔmfa nkyɛmu edu mu baako mma Awurade. Ɛbɛyɛ ntotosoɔ dudu mu ntotosoɔ dudu a wɔnam him a wɔbɛhim no afɔrebukyia no anim de ama Awurade no so.

Comaunde thou, and denounse to the dekenes, Whanne ye han take tithis of the sones of Israel, whiche Y yaf to you, offre ye the firste fruytis of tho to the Lord, that is, the tenthe part of the dyme,

27 Na Awurade bɛgye no sɛ mo afɔrebɔdeɛ a ɛdi ɛkan a ɛyɛ aduane ne nsã a mode rema no sɛdeɛ ɛfiri mo ara mo agyapadeɛ mu.

that it be arettid to you in to offryng of the firste fruytis, as wel of corn flooris as of pressis;

28 Saa ntotosoɔ dudu mu ntotosoɔ dudu yi a mobɛnya yi mu na mode bɛma ɔsɔfoɔ Aaron sɛ Awurade kyɛfa.

and of alle thingis of whiche ye taken tithis, offre ye the firste fruytis to the Lord, and yyue ye to Aaron, preest.

29 Biribiara a wɔde bɛma mo no, momfa emu deɛ ɛyɛ pa ara na ɛyɛ kronkron no mma Awurade.

Alle thingis whiche ye schulen offre of tithis, and schulen departe in to the yiftis of the Lord, schulen be the beste, and alle chosun thingis.

30 “Na wɔbɛfa no sɛ deɛ ɛfiri mo ankasa mo ayuporobea ne mo nsakyibea hɔ.

And thou schalt seye to hem, If ye offren to the Lord alle the clere and betere thingis of tithis, it schal be arettid to you, as if ye yauen the firste fruitis of the corn floor and presse.

31 Aaron ne ne mmammarima ne nʼabusuafoɔ bɛtumi adi no wɔ wɔn fie anaa baabiara a wɔpɛ, ɛfiri sɛ, ɛyɛ wɔn adwuma a wɔyɛ no wɔ Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan mu no ho akatua.

And ye schulen ete tho tithis in alle youre placis, as wel ye as youre meynees, for it is the prijs for the seruyce, in whiche ye seruen in the tabernacle of witnessyng.

32 Mo Lewifoɔ no, sɛ mogye Awurade ntotosoɔ dudu no na mode emu nkyɛmu edu a ɛsɔ ani mu baako ma asɔfoɔ no a, monni afɔbuo biara. Nanso, monhwɛ yie na akyɛdeɛ kronkron a Israelfoɔ de aba no, moammu no ade teta bi. Sɛ moyɛ saa a, mobɛwuwu.”

And ye schulen not do synne on this thing, `and resserue noble thingis and fat to you, lest ye defoulen the offryngis of the sones of Israel, and ye dien.
