Leviticus 1
1 Then called he unto Moses, —and Yahweh spake unto him, out of the tent of meeting, saying:
Azɔ la, Yehowa ƒo nu na Mose tso Mawu ƒe agbadɔ la me hegblɔ be,
2 Speak thou unto the sons of Israel, and thou shalt say unto them When any man, would bring near from among you an oblation, unto Yahweh, from the beasts, from the herd or from the flock, shall ye bring near your oblation.
“Ƒo nu na Israelviwo eye nàgblɔ na wo be, ‘Ne mia dometɔ aɖe atsɔ nunana vɛ na Yehowa la, netsɔ nyi alo alẽ vɛ abe eƒe nunana ene.
3 If an ascending-sacrifice, be his oblation—of the herd, a male without defect, shall he bring near, —unto the entrance of the tent of meeting, shall he bring it, for its acceptance, before Yahweh.
“‘Ne nunana la anye numevɔsa tso lãhawo dome la, ele be wòana lãtsu si ŋuti kpɔtsɔtsɔ mele o. Ele be wòanae le agbadɔ la ƒe mɔnu ale be wòadze Yehowa ŋu.
4 Then shall he lean his hand, upon the head of the ascending-sacrifice, —and it shall be accepted for him to put a propitiatory covering over him;
Ele be wòatsɔ eƒe asi ada ɖe numevɔsa la ƒe ta dzi, eye woaxɔ numevɔsa la ɖe vɔsalã la teƒe be wòalé avu ɖe enu.
5 and he shall slay the young bullock before Yahweh, —and the sons of Aaron, the priests, shall bring near the blood, and shall dash the blood against the altar round about, [even the altar] that is at the entrance of the tent of meeting.
Ekema amea awu nyitsuvi la le afi ma le Yehowa ŋkume. Aron ƒe viŋutsuwo, ame siwo nye nunɔlawo la atsɔ ʋu la ahlẽ ɖe vɔsamlekpui si le agbadɔ la ƒe mɔnu la ƒe axawo katã ŋu.
6 Then shall he flay the ascending-sacrifice, —and cut it up into its pieces.
Ele nɛ be wòako numevɔsalã la eye wòaflii.
7 And the sons of Aaron the priest shall place fire upon the altar, —and arrange wood, upon the fire.
Aron ƒe viŋutsu siwo nye nunɔlawo la ado dzo ɖe vɔsamlekpui la dzi, eye woaɖo nake ɖe dzo la dzi.
8 And the sons of Aaron, the priests, shall arrange the pieces, the head and the fat, —upon the wood, that is on the fire, that is on the altar.
Ekema Aron ƒe viŋutsuwo, nunɔlawo, atsɔ lãkɔwo, eƒe ta kple ami ada ɖe nakeawo dzi le vɔsamlekpui la dzi.
9 But its inwards and its legs, shall they bathe with water, —then shall the priest make, of the whole, a perfume at the altar, an ascending-sacrifice an altar-flame of a satisfying odour unto Yahweh.
Amea aklɔ eƒe dɔmenuwo kple afɔwo, nunɔla la atɔ dzo wo ɖe vɔsamlekpui la dzi, eye woazu numevɔsa kple dzovɔsa si ƒe ʋeʋẽ adze Yehowa ŋu.
10 But, if of the flock, be his oblation, —of the sheep or of the goats, for an ascending-sacrifice, a male without defect, shall he bring near.
“‘Ne vɔsa la nye numevɔsa tso alẽhawo alo gbɔ̃hawo dome la, ele nɛ be wòana atsua si ŋuti kpɔtsɔtsɔ mele o la.
11 And he shall slay it on the side of the altar northward, before Yahweh, —and the sons of Aaron the priests shall dash its blood against the altar round about.
Ame si le vɔ la sam la awui le Yehowa ŋkume le vɔsamlekpui la ƒe anyiehe lɔƒo. Aron ƒe viŋutsuwo, ame siwo nye nunɔlawo la ahlẽ lã la ƒe ʋu ɖe vɔsamlekpui la ŋu akpe ɖo.
12 And he shall cut it up into its pieces, and its head, and its fat, —and the priest shall arrange them upon the wood that is on the fire, that is on the altar,
Ekema amea afli lã la, eye nunɔla la atsɔ lãkɔawo, lã la ƒe ta kple eƒe ami ada ɖe nakeawo dzi le vɔsamlekpui la dzi.
13 But the inwards and the legs, shall he bathe in water, —then shall the priest bring near the whole and make a perfume at the altar, an ascending-sacrifice, it is an altar-flame of a satisfying odour, unto Yahweh.
Ke amea aklɔ dɔmenuawo kple afɔawo, eye nunɔlawo atɔ dzo wo katã le vɔsamlekpui la dzi. Anye numevɔsa kple dzovɔsa si ƒe ʋeʋẽ ado dzidzɔ na Yehowa.
14 But, if, of birds, be the ascending-sacrifice of his oblation unto Yahweh, then shall he bring near of the turtle-doves or of the young pigeons, his oblation.
“‘Ne nunana na Yehowa nye numevɔsa si woawɔ kple xevi la, ele be wòanye akpakpa alo ahɔnɛvi.
15 And the priest shall bring it near unto the altar shall nip off its head, and make a perfume at the altar, —and its blood shall be drained out upon the wall of the altar.
Nunɔla la atsɔ xevi la ayi vɔsamlekpui la gbɔ, atro kɔ le enu, ana eƒe ʋu naɖuɖu ɖe anyi le vɔsamlekpui la ƒe axadzi, eye woame lã la le vɔsamlekpui la dzi.
16 Then shall he take away its crop with its plumage, —and cast it beside the altar, eastward, into the place of fat ashes;
Nunɔla la aɖe eƒe agbonu kple emenuwo, eye wòatsɔ wo aƒu gbe ɖe vɔsamlekpui la ƒe ɣedzeƒe lɔƒo, afi si dzowɔ le la.
17 and he shall cleave it in its wings—he shall not divide it asunder, so shall the priest make a perfume therewith, at the altar, upon the wood that is on the fire, —an ascending-sacrifice, it is, an altar-flame of a satisfying odour, unto Yahweh.
Emegbe la, alé eƒe aʋalawo, eye wòafe xevi la me, gake eƒe aʋalawo maɖe ɖa le xevi la ŋu o. Azɔ la, nunɔla la atɔ dzoe le vɔsamlekpui la dzi, eye wòanye vɔsa si adze Yehowa ŋu. Enye numevɔsa kple dzovɔsa si ƒe ʋeʋẽ adze Yehowa ŋu.
