Leviticus 1
1 Then the Lord called Moses and spoke to him from the tabernacle of the testimony, saying:
Afei, Awurade kasa fii Ahyiae Ntamadan no mu kyerɛɛ Mose se,
2 Speak to the sons of Israel, and you shall say to them: The man among you who will offer to the Lord a sacrifice from the cattle, that is, an offering of victims of oxen or sheep:
“Kyerɛ Israelfo no se, ‘sɛ morebɔ Awurade afɔre a, momfa mo anantwi ne mo nguan no bi na mommɔ saa afɔre no.
3 if his offering will be a holocaust, as well as from the herd, he shall offer an immaculate male at the door of the tabernacle of the testimony, to make himself pleasing to the Lord.
“‘Sɛ mo ɔhyew afɔrebɔde no yɛ nantwi a ofi mo nantwibuw mu a, momfa nantwi a onnii dɛm na ɛmmɔ saa afɔre no sɛnea ɛbɛsɔ Awurade ani. Fa aboa no kɔ Ahyiae Ntamadan no pon ano na ɛhɔ na asɔfo no begye wʼayɛyɛde a wode rebrɛ Awurade no.
4 And he shall place his hand on the head of the sacrifice, and so it shall be acceptable and effective, in its expiation.
Ɛsɛ sɛ onipa a ɔde aboa no reba no de ne nsa gu aboa no ti so sɛ mpata ma afɔrebɔni no. Onyankopɔn bɛpɛ aboa no wu sen sɛ afɔrebɔni a ɔde saa aboa no bɛba no bewu sɛ ne bɔne so akatua.
5 And he shall immolate the calf in the sight of the Lord. And the priests, the sons of Aaron, shall offer its blood, pouring it all around the altar, which is before the door of the tabernacle.
Afɔrebɔni no bekum aboa no wɔ hɔ wɔ Awurade anim. Na Aaron mmabarima asɔfo no asɔw aboa no mogya de akyerɛ Awurade. Na wɔde mogya no apete afɔremuka a esi Ahyiae Ntamadan no kwan no ano no ne ho nyinaa.
6 And having pulled away the skin of the victim, they shall cut up the joints into pieces,
Afei, asɔfo no bɛpa aboa no ho nwoma na wɔabobɔw.
7 and they shall toss fire under the altar, having arranged beforehand a stack of wood.
Na ɔsɔfo Aaron mmabarima no bɛsɔ gya wɔ afɔremuka no so.
8 And they shall lay the parts which are cut up in order upon it: namely, the head, and all the things that adjoin to the liver,
Na wɔde aboa no akwaa bi ne ne ti ne ne srade ka ho agu nnyansin no so.
9 the intestines and feet having been washed with water. And the priest shall burn them on the altar as a holocaust and as a sweet odor to the Lord.
Momfa nsu nhohoro nʼayamde ne ne nan ho na asɔfo no nhyew no wɔ afɔremuka no so. Ɛyɛ ɔhyew afɔre, aduan afɔrebɔ, ehua a ɛsɔ Awurade ani.
10 But if the offering is from the flocks, a holocaust either of sheep or goats, he shall offer a male without blemish.
“‘Sɛ afɔrebɔ no yɛ ɔhyew afɔre na aboa no yɛ oguan anaa abirekyi a, ɛsɛ sɛ ɔyɛ onini a ne ho nni dɛm biara.
11 And he shall immolate it at the side of the altar which looks out toward the north, in the sight of the Lord. Yet truly, the sons of Aaron shall pour its blood upon the altar all around.
Onipa a ɔde no bae no bekum no Awurade anim wɔ afɔremuka no atifi na Aaron mmabarima asɔfo no apete mogya no agu afɔremuka no so ne ɛho nyinaa.
12 And they shall divide the limbs, the head, and everything that adjoins to the liver. And they shall place them on the wood, under which the fire is to be thrown.
Ɔbɛhyehyɛ nam no na asɔfo no de nʼasinasin no ne ti no ne ne srade no agu nnyansin a egu afɔremuka no so no so.
13 Yet truly, the intestines and the feet they shall wash with water. And the priest, having offered everything, shall burn it upon the altar as a holocaust and as a most sweet odor to the Lord.
Wɔde nsu bɛhohoro nʼayamde ne ne nan no ho ansa na asɔfo no ahyew wɔ afɔremuka no so de ama Awurade; efisɛ ɔhyew afɔre sɔ Awurade ani.
14 But if the oblation of a holocaust to the Lord is of birds, either of turtledoves, or young pigeons,
“‘Sɛ obi pɛ sɛ ɔde anomaa bɔ ɔhyew afɔre a, ɔmfa nturukuku anaa mmorɔnomamma.
15 the priest shall offer it at the altar: and twisting back the neck with the head, and also rupturing the place of the wound, he shall make the blood run down over the edge of the altar.
Ɔsɔfo no bɛfa anomaa no de no akɔ afɔremuka no so na watew ne ti ahyew no, na wasɔn ne mogya no agu afɔremuka no nkyɛn.
16 Yet truly, the craw of the throat and the feathers he shall cast near the altar at the eastern section, in the place where the ashes are usually poured out.
Afei, ɔsɔfo no beyi ne mene ase, atutu ne ntakra no na watow agu nsõ no mu wɔ afɔremuka no apuei fam.
17 And he shall break its wing joints, but he shall neither cut, nor divide it with metal, and he shall burn it upon the altar, placing fire under the wood. It is a holocaust and an oblation of a most sweet odor to the Lord.
Afei, ɔbɛtwe ne ntaban mu ama emu ntin no atetew asensɛn hɔ, na ɔsɔfo no ahyew no wɔ afɔremuka no so. Ɛyɛ ɔhyew afɔre, aduan afɔrebɔ, ehua a ɛsɔ Awurade ani.
