¹⁸"Tell Aaron, im sons, and all Israel people sey: When any of una—whether na for di land dem born am or na foreigner wey dey live for Israel—bring burnt offering give me, to fulfill vow or as gift wey e give with willing mind. ¹⁹Make e bring male wey no get any wahala from cattle, sheep, or goat, so dem go accept am for una. ²⁰No bring anything wey get defect, because dem no go accept am on una behalf. ²¹When anybody bring peace offering give me from herd or flock to fulfill special vow or as freewill offering, e must clean well-well before dem go accept am—no defect must dey inside. ²²No offer me anything wey blind, wey break, wey dem cut, wey get wart, wey get scab, or wey dey run water. No put any of dis ones for altar as food offering give me. ²³You fit bring ox or sheep wey no dey correct for body or wey no grow well as offering wey you give with willing mind, but dem no go accept am for vow. ²⁴No offer me animal wey im testicles bruise, wey dem mash, wey dem tear, or wey dem cut. No do dis one for una own land. ²⁵You no suppose accept dis kind animals from foreigner to offer as your Papa food, since dem no correct and dem get defect—dem no go accept am for una." ^a a v25 Dem dey call di offerings God "food" as manner of speech — our Papa no need anything, but e dey receive di worship wey di gift dey show.
