Exodus 24

1 And he said to Moses, Come up to the Lord, you and Aaron, and Nadab and Abihu and seventy of the chiefs of Israel; and give me worship from a distance.

Afei, Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose sɛ, “Wo ne Aaron, Nadab, Abihu ne Israelfoɔ mpanimfoɔ aduɔson mforo mmra ha. Mo nyinaa, momma me ne mo ntam ntwe na monsom me.

2 And Moses only may come near to the Lord; but the others are not to come near, and the people may not come up with them.

Mose nko ara na ɔbɛbɛn Awurade; na monkae nso sɛ, ɛnsɛ sɛ wɔn a wɔaka no twe bɛn bepɔ no koraa.”

3 Then Moses came and put before the people all the words of the Lord and his laws: and all the people, answering with one voice, said, Whatever the Lord has said we will do.

Mose kaa mmara a Awurade hyɛɛ no no nyinaa kyerɛɛ nnipa no ma wɔn nyinaa bɔ gyee so sɛ, “Yɛbɛdi ne nyinaa so.”

4 Then Moses put down in writing all the words of the Lord, and he got up early in the morning and made an altar at the foot of the mountain, with twelve pillars for the twelve tribes of Israel.

Mose twerɛɛ Awurade mmara no nyinaa guu hɔ. Adeɛ kyee anɔpa no, ɔsii afɔrebukyia wɔ bepɔ no ase. Ɔde adum dumienu twaa ho hyiaeɛ, ɛfiri sɛ, na Israel mmusuakuo no yɛ dumienu.

5 And he sent some of the young men of the children of Israel to make burned offerings and peace-offerings of oxen to the Lord.

Afei, ɔsomaa mmabunu a wɔwɔ wɔn mu no bi sɛ wɔnkɔbɔ ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ ne asomdwoeɛ afɔdeɛ mma Awurade.

6 And Moses took half the blood and put it in basins; draining out half of the blood over the altar.

Mose sɔnee mmoa no mogya no fa de guu nkankyee mu, ɛnna ɔtoo ɛfa a aka no petee afɔrebukyia no so.

7 And he took the book of the agreement, reading it in the hearing of the people: and they said, Everything which the Lord has said we will do, and we will keep his laws.

Ɔkan nwoma a watwerɛ a ɛyɛ Apam Nwoma a Awurade akwankyerɛ ne ne mmara wɔ mu no kyerɛɛ nnipa no. Nnipa no bɔ gyee so bio sɛ, “Yɛhyɛ bɔ sɛ, yɛbɛdi mmara no nyinaa so.”

8 Then Moses took the blood and let it come on the people, and said, This blood is the sign of the agreement which the Lord has made with you in these words.

Afei, Mose de mogya a ɛwɔ nkankyee no mu no petee nnipa no so kaa sɛ, “Saa mogya yi hyɛ apam a mo ne Awurade apam ne mmara a ɔde ama mo no mu den.”

9 Then Moses and Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy of the chiefs of Israel went up:

Afei Mose, Aaron, Nadab, Abihu ne Israelfoɔ mpanimfoɔ aduɔson no foro kɔɔ bepɔ no so.

10 And they saw the God of Israel; and under his feet there was, as it seemed, a jewelled floor, clear as the heavens.

Wɔhunuu Israel Onyankopɔn. Na ne nan ntiasoɔ hyerɛn te sɛ aboɔdemmoɔ a ne hyerɛn te sɛ ɔsoro hyerɛn.

11 And he put not his hand on the chiefs of the children of Israel: they saw God, and took food and drink.

Ɛwom sɛ mpanimfoɔ no hunuu Onyankopɔn deɛ, nanso wansɛe wɔn. Nokorɛm, wɔn nyinaa bɔɔ mu didii wɔ Awurade anim.

12 And the Lord said to Moses, Come up to me on the mountain, and take your place there: and I will give you the stones on which I have put in writing the law and the orders, so that you may give the people knowledge of them.

Na Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose sɛ, “Foro bra me nkyɛn wɔ bepɔ so ha na tena ha kɔsi sɛ mede mmaransɛm a matwerɛ agu ɛboɔ so no bɛma wo, na wonam so akyerɛkyerɛ nnipa no.”

13 Then Moses and Joshua his servant got up; and Moses went up into the mountain of God.

Enti, Mose ne ne ɔboafoɔ Yosua foro kɔɔ Onyankopɔn bepɔ no so.

14 And he said to the chiefs, Keep your places here till we come back to you: Aaron and Hur are with you; if anyone has any cause let him go to them.

Ɔka kyerɛɛ mpanimfoɔ no sɛ, “Montena ha ntwɛn yɛn kɔsi sɛ yɛbɛba. Merekɔ yi, sɛ asɛm bi kyere mo so a, monka nkyerɛ Aaron ne Hur.”

15 And Moses went up into the mountain, and it was covered by the cloud.

Mose foro kɔɔ bepɔ no so hɔ na ɔyeraa wɔ omununkum mu.

16 And the glory of the Lord was resting on Mount Sinai, and the cloud was over it for six days; and on the seventh day he said Moses' name out of the cloud.

Na Awurade animuonyam hyɛɛ Sinai bepɔ no so ma. Na omununkum sii bepɔ no so nnansia. Ne nnanson so no, ɔfrɛɛ Mose firii omununkum no mu.

17 And the glory of the Lord was like a flame on the top of the mountain before the eyes of the children of Israel.

Wɔn a wɔwɔ bepɔ no ase no hunuu anwanwadeɛ no. Na Awurade animuonyam a ɛwɔ bepɔ no so no te sɛ ogya a ɛrederɛ.

18 And Moses went up the mountain, into the cloud, and was there for forty days and forty nights.

Na Mose yeraa wɔ bepɔ no so wɔ omununkum no mu. Ɔdii bepɔ no so adaduanan.
