Leviticus 10

1 Then Aaron’s sons, Nadab and Abihu, took each man his censer and placed therein fire, and put thereon incense, —and brought near before Yahweh strange fire, which he had not commanded them.

Ke Aron ƒe viŋutsu eve, Nadab kple Abihu, ɖe dzo makɔmakɔ ɖe woƒe dzudzɔdosonuwo me, ɖe dzudzɔdonu kɔ ɖe dzo la dzi, eye wodo dzudzɔ na Yehowa. Nu sia mesɔ ɖe se si Yehowa de na wo la dzi o,

2 Then came there forth fire from before Yahweh, and consumed them, —and they died before Yahweh.

eya ta dzo tso Yehowa gbɔ, eye wòtsrɔ̃ wo; ale woku le Yehowa ŋkume.

3 Then said Moses unto Aaron—The very thing, that Yahweh spake, saying—In them that draw near to me, must I be hallowed, And before the faces of all the people, must I get myself honour, —And Aaron, was dumb.

Tete Mose gblɔ na Aron be, “Esiae Yehowa gblɔ esi wògblɔ be, ‘Maɖe ɖokuinye afia ame siwo tena ɖe ŋutinye la kɔkɔe eye woade bubu ŋunye le amewo katã ŋkume.’” Eye Aron zi ɖoɖoe kpoo.

4 Then called Moses unto Mishael, and unto Elzaphan, sons of Uzziel, uncle of Aaron, —and said unto them—Draw near bear away your brethren from before the sanctuary, unto the outside of the camp.

Mose yɔ Misael kple Elzafan, wo tɔɖia Uziel ƒe viŋutsuwo eye wògblɔ na wo be, “Miyi miakɔ mia nɔviwo ƒe ŋutilã fiafiawo tso Agbadɔ la ŋkume yi ɖada ɖe asaɖa la godo.”

5 So they drew near and bare them away, in their tunics, unto the outside of the camp, —as spake Moses.

Woyi ɖakɔ wo; wole woƒe awutewui ʋlayawo me abe ale si Mose gblɔ na wo la ene.

6 Then said Moses unto Aaron and to Eleazar and to Ithamar, his sons—Your heads, ye may not bare and your garments, ye shall not rend so shall ye not die, neither against all the assembly, will he be wroth, —but let, your brethren the whole house of Israel, bewail the consuming fire wherewith Yahweh hath consumed.

Mose gblɔ na Aron kple Via ŋutsu eve, Eleaza kple Itamar be, “Migafa ame kukuawo o, eye migagblẽ miaƒe ɖa ɖi mavumavui abe konyifafa ƒe dzesi ene o; migadze miaƒe awuwo hã o. Ne miewɔ nu siawo la, eƒe dziku abi ɖe Israel dukɔ blibo la ŋu. Ke Israelvi bubuawo ya ate ŋu afa avi na Nadab kple Abihu le dzo dziŋɔ si Yehowa ɖo ɖa la ta.

7 But, from the entrance of the tent of meeting, shall ye not go forth, lest ye die, for, the anointing oil of Yahweh is upon you. And they did according to the word of Moses.

Ke miawo ya la, mele be miadzo le Agbadɔ la nu o. Ne miedzo la, miaku elabena Yehowa ƒe ami si wosi na mi la gale mia dzi.” Eye wowɔ se si Mose de na wo la dzi.

8 Then spake Yahweh unto Aaron, saying:

Yehowa gblɔ na Aron bena,

9 Wine and strong drink, thou mayest not drink, —thou nor thy sons with thee when ye enter into the tent of meeting, so shall ye not die, —an age-abiding statute to your generations;

“Wò kple viwò ŋutsuwo, migano wain alo aha muame aɖeke ne miele Mawu ƒe Agbadɔ me yi ge o. Ne mienoe la, miaku. Esia nye ɖoɖo mavɔ hena dzidzime siwo gbɔna.

10 That ye may make a difference, between the sacred and the common, —and between the unclean and the clean;

Wò dɔdeasiwo anye be mialé avu ɖe amewo nu, miafia vovototo siwo le nu kɔkɔewo kple nu makɔmakɔwo, nu siwo dza kple nu siwo medza o la dome,

11 And may teach the sons of Israel, —all the statutes which Yahweh hath spoken unto them, by the mediation of Moses.

eye miafia Israelviwo se siwo katã Yehowa de na mi to Mose dzi la ameawo.”

12 Then spake Moses unto Aaron and unto Eleazar and unto Ithamar his sons that were left, Take ye the meal-offering that is left of the altar-flames of Yahweh, and eat it unleavened beside the altar, —for, most holy, it is;

Mose gblɔ na Aron kple Via ŋutsu eve siwo susɔ, Eleaza kple Itamar be, “Mitsɔ nuɖuvɔsa si susɔ esi woɖe wɔ asiʋlo ɖeka le eŋu na Yehowa le vɔsamlekpui la dzi; miakpɔ egbɔ be amɔʋãtike mele eme o, eye miaɖui le vɔsamlekpui la gbɔ. Vɔsa sia nye nu kɔkɔe,

13 therefore shall ye eat it in a holy place, for, thine by statute, and thy sons’ by statute, it is, from among the altar-flames of Yahweh, —for, so, am I commanded.

eya ta miaɖui le Kɔkɔeƒe la. Miawo kple mia viwo tɔe wònye tso vɔsa si wome na Yehowa la me, elabena eyae nye se si wode nam.

14 And the wave-breast, and the heave-shoulder, shall ye eat in clean place, thou, and thy sons and thy daughters with thee, —for as thine by statute and thy sons’ by statute, have they been given, from among the peace-offerings of the sons of Israel.

Ke miate ŋu aɖu lã la ƒe akɔ kple ata si wonye le yame le Yehowa ŋkume abe nu si wotsɔ nɛ ƒe dzesi ene la, le teƒe kɔkɔe ɖe sia ɖe. Wò kple viwò ŋutsuwo kple viwò nyɔnuwo ƒe nuɖuɖue. Eyae nye mia tɔ le Israelviwo ƒe akpedavɔsawo me.

15 The heave-shoulder and the wave-breast upon the altar-flames of the fat portions, shall they bring in, to wave as a wave-offering, before Yahweh, —so shall they be thine, and thy sons’ with thee, by an age-abiding statute, As Yahweh hath commanded.

“Ele be ameawo natsɔ ata si woɖe ɖe aga kple akɔ si wona esi wotɔ dzo amiawo la vɛ. Woatsɔ wo ana Yehowa to wo nyenye le yame me. Ekema woazu wò kple viwòwo tɔ, elabena esiae nye Yehowa ƒe ɖoɖo.”

16 Now, as for the sin-bearing goat, Moses diligently sought it but lo! it had been burnt up, —then was he wroth against Eleazar and against Ithamar, the sons of Aaron that were left, saying:

Mose di gbɔ̃tsu si wotsɔ vɛ na nu vɔ̃ ŋuti vɔsa la le afi sia afi. Eva dze sii be wotɔ dzoe xoxo! Nu sia na wòdo dɔmedzoe vevie ɖe Eleaza kple Itamar, Aron ƒe viŋutsu eve siwo susɔ la ŋu.

17 Wherefore did ye not eat the sin-bearer in the holy place? for most, holy, it is, —and thee same, hath he given you that ye may bear the iniquity of the assembly, to put a propitiatory-covering over them before Yahweh.

Ebia wo be, “Nu ka ta mieɖu nu vɔ̃ ŋuti vɔsa la, si nye nu kɔkɔe ƒe nu kɔkɔe la le teƒe kɔkɔe la o, le esime wotsɔe na mi be miatsɔ aɖe ameawo ƒe nu vɔ̃wo kple dzidadawo ɖa, eye mialé avu le woawo kple Yehowa dome?

18 Lo! the blood thereof had not been taken into the holy place, within, —ye should have, indeed eaten, it, in a holy place, as I commanded.

Zi ale si wometsɔ eƒe ʋu yi kɔkɔeƒe la o la, ɖe wòle be miaɖui le afi ma abe ale si meɖo na mi ene hafi.”

19 Then spake Aaron unto Moses—Lo! this very day, when they had brought near their own sin-bearer, and their own ascending-sacrifice, there befell me such things as these, —if, then, I had eaten of the sin-bearer this day, would it have been well-pleasing in the eyes of Yahweh?

Ke Aron xɔ nya ɖe wo nu le Mose gbɔ hegblɔ be, “Wosa woƒe nu vɔ̃ vɔsa kple numevɔ le Yehowa ŋkume; ke nenye ɖe meɖu nu vɔ̃ ŋuti vɔsa la egbe la, ɖe wòadze Yehowa ŋua?”

20 And, when Moses heard that, then was it well-pleasing in his eyes.

Esi Mose se nya siawo la, eƒe dzi dze eme.
