Numbers 10

1 Then the LORD said to Moses,

Afei, Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose sɛ,

2 “Make two trumpets of hammered silver to be used for calling the congregation and for having the camps set out.

“Fa dwetɛ a wɔaboro yɛ ntotorobɛnto mmienu na wɔahyɛn de afrɛ nnipa no, na watu ntomadan no akɔ.

3 When both are sounded, the whole congregation is to assemble before you at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting.

Sɛ wɔhyɛn ntotorobɛnto mmienu no a, nnipa no bɛhunu sɛ, ɛsɛ sɛ wɔboa wɔn ho ano wɔ Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no ano.

4 But if only one is sounded, then the leaders, the heads of the clans of Israel, are to gather before you.

Na sɛ wɔhyɛn baako pɛ a, na ɛkyerɛ sɛ Israel mmusua no mu mpanimfoɔ na ɛsɛ sɛ wɔba wo nkyɛn.

5 When you sound short blasts, the camps that lie on the east side are to set out.

Sɛ mohyɛn de kyerɛ sɛ monkɔ mo anim a, mmusuakuo a wɔwɔ Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan apueeɛ fam no bɛtu wɔn atenaeɛ hɔ na wɔakɔ.

6 When you sound the short blasts a second time, the camps that lie on the south side are to set out. The blasts are to signal them to set out.

Sɛ mohyɛn deɛ ɛtɔ so mmienu no a, mmusuakuo a wɔwɔ anafoɔ fam no bɛdi so. Monhyɛn no ntiantia mu mfa nkyerɛ sɛ wɔnkɔ.

7 To convene the assembly, you are to sound long blasts, not short ones.

Na sɛ mofrɛ nnipa no ma wɔbɛhyia a, momfa ɛkwan foforɔ so nhyɛne ntotorobɛnto no.

8 The sons of Aaron, the priests, are to sound the trumpets. This shall be a permanent statute for you and the generations to come.

“Aaron mmammarima asɔfoɔ nko ara na wɔbɛma wɔn ɛkwan ama wɔahyɛn ntotorobɛnto no. Yei yɛ mmara a ɛbɛtena hɔ daa afiri awoɔ ntoatoasoɔ so akɔsi awoɔ ntoatoasoɔ so.

9 When you enter into battle in your land against an adversary who attacks you, sound short blasts on the trumpets, and you will be remembered before the LORD your God and saved from your enemies.

Sɛ moduru Bɔhyɛ Asase no so na mo ne mo atamfoɔ ko na mohyɛn ntotorobɛnto no a, Awurade, mo Onyankopɔn bɛtie mo na wagye mo afiri mo atamfoɔ nsam.

10 And on your joyous occasions, your appointed feasts, and the beginning of each month, you are to blow the trumpets over your burnt offerings and fellowship offerings to serve as a reminder for you before your God. I am the LORD your God.”

Anigyeberɛ mu nso, monhyɛn ntotorobɛnto no. Afe mu dapɔnna nso, monhyɛn. Bosome biara ahyɛaseɛ nso, monhyɛ mfa nnye mo ani wɔ ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ ne asomdwoeɛ afɔdeɛ ho. Sɛ moyɛ saa a, ɛbɛkae Onyankopɔn apam a ɔne mo apam no. Na mene Awurade mo Onyankopɔn.”

11 On the twentieth day of the second month of the second year, the cloud was lifted from above the tabernacle of the Testimony,

Bosome a ɛtɔ so mmienu no ɛda a ɛtɔ so aduonu no a ɛyɛ mfeɛ mmienu a Israelfoɔ firii Misraim no, omununkum no pagyaa ne ho firii Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no so,

12 and the Israelites set out from the Wilderness of Sinai, traveling from place to place until the cloud settled in the Wilderness of Paran.

enti Israelfoɔ no firii Sinai ɛserɛ so hɔ dii omununkum no akyi kɔsii sɛ ɛkɔgyinaa Paran ɛserɛ so.

13 They set out this first time according to the LORD’s command through Moses.

Ɛberɛ a ɛsɛ sɛ wɔtu no duruiɛ no, Awurade nam Mose so ka kyerɛɛ wɔn.

14 First, the divisions of the camp of Judah set out under their standard, with Nahshon son of Amminadab in command.

Akwantuo no mu no, mmusua a wɔhyɛ Yuda abusuakuo no ase, a Aminadab babarima Nahson tua ano na ɔtu wɔn frankaa na wɔdi ɛkan.

15 Nethanel son of Zuar was over the division of the tribe of Issachar,

Wɔn a wɔdi so ne Isakar abusuakuo a Suar babarima Netanel na ɔdi wɔn anim.

16 and Eliab son of Helon was over the division of the tribe of Zebulun.

Sebulon abusuakuo na wɔdi hɔ a Helon babarima Eliab na ɔdi wɔn anim.

17 Then the tabernacle was taken down, and the Gershonites and the Merarites set out, transporting it.

Wɔtutuu Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no, na Gerson ne Merari mmusua a wɔfiri Lewifoɔ mu no soaa Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no dii wɔn afa wɔ santen no mu.

18 Then the divisions of the camp of Reuben set out under their standard, with Elizur son of Shedeur in command.

Afei, Ruben abusuakuo tuu wɔn frankaa de dii so a Sedeur babarima Elisur na na ɔdi wɔn anim.

19 Shelumiel son of Zurishaddai was over the division of the tribe of Simeon,

Wɔn a na wɔdi so ne Simeon abusuakuo a Surisadai babarima Selumiel na na ɔdi wɔn anim;

20 and Eliasaph son of Deuel was over the division of the tribe of Gad.

Gad abusuakuo nso, na Deguel babarima Eliasaf na na ɔdi wɔn anim.

21 Then the Kohathites set out, transporting the holy objects; the tabernacle was to be set up before their arrival.

Ɛnna Kohatfoɔ no nso na na wɔdi hɔ a wɔsoso kronkronbea hɔ nneɛma. Wɔduruu hɔ no, na wɔahyehyɛ Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no wɔ beaeɛ foforɔ hɔ dada.

22 Next, the divisions of the camp of Ephraim set out under their standard, with Elishama son of Ammihud in command.

Wɔn a na wɔdi so ne Efraim abusuakuo a na wɔdi wɔn frankaa akyi a Amihud babarima Elisama na ɔdi wɔn anim;

23 Gamaliel son of Pedahzur was over the division of the tribe of Manasseh,

24 and Abidan son of Gideoni was over the division of the tribe of Benjamin.

afei, Benyamin abusuakuo na na wɔdi so a Gideoni babarima Abidan na na ɔdi wɔn anim.

25 Finally, the divisions of the camp of Dan set out under their standard, serving as the rear guard for all units, with Ahiezer son of Ammishaddai in command.

Wɔn a na wɔtwa toɔ koraa no ne abusuakuo a na Dan abusuakuo frankaa di wɔn anim a na wɔn panin ne Amisadai babarima Ahieser no.

26 Pagiel son of Ocran was over the division of the tribe of Asher,

Okran babarima Pagiel na na ɔdi Aser abusuakuo anim.

27 and Ahira son of Enan was over the division of the tribe of Naphtali.

Ɛnna na Enan babarima Ahira nso di Naftali abusuakuo anim.

28 This was the order of march for the Israelite divisions as they set out.

Saa nhyehyɛeɛ yi na mmusuakuo yi faa so tuu wɔn kwan no.

29 Then Moses said to Hobab, the son of Moses’ father-in-law Reuel the Midianite, “We are setting out for the place of which the LORD said: ‘I will give it to you.’ Come with us, and we will treat you well, for the LORD has promised good things to Israel.”

Ɛda bi, Mose ka kyerɛɛ nʼakonta Hobab, Midiani Reuel ba sɛ, “Yei nyinaa akyi no, yɛrekɔ Bɔhyɛ Asase no so. Bra na yɛnkɔ na yɛbɛhwɛ wo so yie; ɛfiri sɛ, Awurade ahyɛ Israelfoɔ bɔ a emu yɛ den!”

30 “I will not go,” Hobab replied. “Instead, I am going back to my own land and my own people.”

Nanso nʼakonta no buaa no sɛ, “Dabi, ɛsɛ sɛ mekɔ mʼasase so ne mʼabusuafoɔ nkyɛn.”

31 “Please do not leave us,” Moses said, “since you know where we should camp in the wilderness, and you can serve as our eyes.

Mose srɛɛ sɛ, “Tena yɛn nkyɛn, ɛfiri sɛ, wo na wonim sɛdeɛ ɛserɛ so asetena teɛ enti wo ho bɛba mfasoɔ ama yɛn.

32 If you come with us, we will share with you whatever good things the LORD gives us.”

Sɛ woba a, nneɛma pa a Awurade de bɛma yɛn no nyinaa, wobɛnya bi.”

33 So they set out on a three-day journey from the mountain of the LORD, with the ark of the covenant of the LORD traveling ahead of them for those three days to seek a resting place for them.

Wɔfiri Awurade Bepɔ so no, wɔnantee nnansa a Awurade Adaka no di wɔn anim sɛ wɔrekɔpɛ baabi a wɔbɛsoeɛ.

34 And the cloud of the LORD was over them by day when they set out from the camp.

Wɔfirii wɔn akwantuo no ase awia a wɔrekɔ no nyinaa na Awurade omununkum no di wɔn anim.

35 Whenever the ark set out, Moses would say, “Rise up, O LORD! May Your enemies be scattered; may those who hate You flee before You.”

Wɔmaa adaka no so kɔɔ wɔn anim kakra no, Mose teaam sɛ, “Ao, Awurade, sɔre! Na hwete wʼatamfoɔ; ma wɔn nyinaa nnwane mfiri wʼanim.”

36 And when it came to rest, he would say: “Return, O LORD, to the countless thousands of Israel.”

Wɔsoɛɛ adaka no, ɔkaa sɛ, “Ao, Awurade, sane bra Israelfoɔ ɔpepe no mu.”
