Leviticus 16
1 And Jehovah spoke to Moses after the death of the two sons of Aaron, when they came near before Jehovah and died;
Aaron mmammarima baanu a wɔwuwuu wɔ Awurade anim wuo akyi no, Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose sɛ,
2 and Jehovah said to Moses, Speak unto Aaron thy brother, that he come not at all times into the sanctuary inside the veil before the mercy-seat which is upon the ark, that he die not; for I will appear in the cloud upon the mercy-seat.
“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.
3 In this manner shall Aaron come into the sanctuary: with a young bullock for a sin-offering, and a ram for a burnt-offering.
“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.
4 A holy linen vest shall he put on, and linen trousers shall be upon his flesh, and he shall be girded with a linen girdle, and with the linen mitre shall he be attired: these are holy garments; and he shall bathe his flesh in water, and put them on.
Ɛsɛ sɛ ɔdware na ɔhyɛ atadeɛ nahanaha ne ne nhyɛaseɛ na ɔbɔ abɔwomu ne abotire.
5 And of the assembly of the children of Israel shall he take two bucks of the goats for a sin-offering, and one ram for a burnt-offering.
Afei, Israelfoɔ bɛbrɛ no mmirekyie mmienu a wɔde bɛbɔ wɔn bɔne ho afɔdeɛ ne odwennini a wɔde bɛbɔ wɔn ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ.
6 And Aaron shall present the bullock of the sin-offering, which is for himself, and make atonement for himself, and for his house.
“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.
7 And he shall take the two goats, and set them before Jehovah, before the entrance of the tent of meeting.
Afei, ɔde mmirekyie mmienu no bɛba Awurade anim wɔ Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no ano
8 And Aaron shall cast lots upon the two goats: one lot for Jehovah, and the other lot for Azazel.
na wɔabɔ wɔn so ntonto ahunu Awurade deɛ, ne deɛ ɛsɛ sɛ wɔsane de no korɔ.
9 And Aaron shall present the goat upon which the lot fell for Jehovah, and offer it [as] a sin-offering.
Aaron de abirekyie a wɔde no rebɛbɔ Awurade afɔdeɛ no bɛbɔ bɔne ho afɔdeɛ.
10 And the goat upon which the lot fell for Azazel shall be set alive before Jehovah, to make atonement with it, to send it away as Azazel into the wilderness.
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.
11 And Aaron shall present the bullock of the sin-offering, which is for himself, and shall make atonement for himself and for his house, and shall slaughter the bullock of the sin-offering which is for himself.
“Aaron de nantwinini ba no abɔ bɔne ho afɔdeɛ ama ne ho ne ne fiefoɔ awie no,
12 And he shall take the censer full of burning coals of fire from off the altar before Jehovah, and both his hands full of fragrant incense beaten small, and bring it inside the veil.
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.
13 And he shall put the incense upon the fire before Jehovah, that the cloud of the incense may cover the mercy-seat which is upon the testimony, that he die not.
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.
14 And he shall take of the blood of the bullock, and sprinkle with his finger upon the front of the mercy-seat eastward; and before the mercy-seat shall he sprinkle of the blood seven times with his finger.
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.
15 And he shall slaughter the goat of the sin-offering, which is for the people, and bring its blood inside the veil, and do with its blood as he did with the blood of the bullock, and sprinkle it upon the mercy-seat, and before the mercy-seat;
“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.
16 and he shall make atonement for the sanctuary, [to cleanse it] from the uncleanness of the children of Israel, and from their transgressions in all their sins; and so shall he do for the tent of meeting which dwelleth among them in the midst of their uncleanness.
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.
17 And there shall be no man in the tent of meeting when he goeth in to make atonement in the sanctuary until he come out; and he shall make atonement for himself, and for his house, and for the whole congregation of Israel.
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.
18 And he shall go out unto the altar which is before Jehovah, and make atonement for it; and shall take of the blood of the bullock, and of the goat, and put it upon the horns of the altar round about;
“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,
19 and he shall sprinkle upon it of the blood with his finger seven times, and cleanse it, and hallow it from the uncleannesses of the children of Israel.
na ɔde ne nsateaa baako pete mogya no mprɛnson gu afɔrebukyia no so de te ho firi Israelfoɔ bɔne no ho yɛ no kronkron.
20 And when he hath ended making atonement for the sanctuary, and the tent of meeting, and the altar, he shall present the living goat;
“Sɛ ɔwie mpatadeɛ a ɛfa kronkronbea hɔ ne Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no ho nsɛm nyinaa ne afɔrebukyia no ho a, ɔde abirekyie no bɛba anikann
21 and Aaron shall lay both his hands on the head of the living goat, and confess over it all the iniquities of the children of Israel, and all their transgressions in all their sins, and he shall put them on the head of the goat, and shall send him away to the wilderness by the hand of a man standing ready;
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.
22 that the goat may bear upon him all their iniquities to a land apart [from men]; and he shall send away the goat into the wilderness.
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.
23 And Aaron shall go into the tent of meeting, and shall put off the linen garments, which he put on when he went into the sanctuary, and shall leave them there;
“Afei, Aaron bɛkɔ Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan mu hɔ bio akɔworɔ nʼatadeɛ nahanaha a ɔhyɛɛ wɔ ntwamutam no akyi no na wagya no wɔ hɔ.
24 and he shall bathe his flesh with water in a holy place, and put on his garments, and go forth, and offer his burnt-offering, and the burnt-offering of the people, and make atonement for himself, and for the people.
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.
25 And the fat of the sin-offering shall he burn upon the altar.
Ɔbɛhye sradeɛ de abɔ bɔne ho afɔdeɛ wɔ afɔrebukyia no so.
26 And he that letteth go the goat for Azazel shall wash his clothes, and bathe his flesh in water; and afterwards he may come into the camp.
“Akyire no, ɔbarima a ɔde abirekyie no kɔɔ ɛserɛ so no bɛsi ne ntoma na wadware na wasane aba beaeɛ hɔ bio.
27 And the bullock of the sin-offering, and the goat of the sin-offering whose blood was brought in to make atonement in the sanctuary, shall one carry forth outside the camp; and they shall burn with fire their skins, and their flesh, and their dung.
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.
28 And he that burneth them shall wash his clothes, and bathe his flesh in water; and afterwards he may come into the camp.
Akyire yi, onipa a ɔrebɛhye afɔrebɔdeɛ no bɛsi ne ntoma, adware na wasane akɔ beaeɛ hɔ bio.
29 And this shall be an everlasting statute unto you. In the seventh month, on the tenth of the month, ye shall afflict your souls, and do no work at all, the home-born, and the stranger that sojourneth among you;
“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;
30 for on that day shall atonement be made for you, to cleanse you: from all your sins shall ye be clean before Jehovah.
ɛfiri sɛ, ɛda yi na wɔde kae mo mpata ne mo ahodwira wɔ mo bɔne ho wɔ Awurade anim.
31 A sabbath of rest shall it be unto you, and ye shall afflict your souls: [it is] an everlasting statute.
Ɛyɛ homeda a ɛsɛ sɛ mode home enti ɛsɛ sɛ modi ɛda no dinn wɔ ahobrɛaseɛ mu. Ɛyɛ mmara a ɛwɔ hɔ daa.
32 And the priest who hath been anointed, and who hath been consecrated, to exercise the priesthood in his father's stead, shall make atonement; and he shall put on the linen garments, the holy garments.
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
33 And he shall make atonement for the holy sanctuary; and for the tent of meeting, and for the altar shall he make atonement; and for the priests, and for the whole people of the congregation shall he make atonement.
na ɔyɛ mpatadeɛ wɔ kronkronbea hɔ wɔ Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan mu hɔ, afɔrebukyia no so, de ma asɔfoɔ no ne nnipa no.
34 And this shall be an everlasting statute unto you, to make atonement for the children of Israel [to cleanse them] from all their sins once a year. And he did as Jehovah had commanded Moses.
“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.
