Exodus 31
1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose sɛ,
2 “Behold, I have called by name Bezalel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, from the tribe of Judah,
“Mayi Besaleel a ɔyɛ Uri babarima na ɔyɛ Hur nana a ɔfiri Yuda abusua mu
3 and I have filled him with the Spirit of God, with wisdom, and understanding, and knowledge in every craft,
de Onyankopɔn Honhom ahyɛ no ma. Mama no nyansa, tumi ne adwene a ɔde bɛsi Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no ayɛ biribiara a ɛwɔ mu.
4 in order to design whatever must be fabricated from gold, and silver, and brass,
Ɔyɛ sika, dwetɛ ne kɔbere ho dwumfoɔ kɛseɛ.
5 from marble, and precious stones, and various woods.
Ɔwɔ agudeɛ adwinneɛ ne nnuasene ho nimdeɛ nso.
6 And I have given to him, as his associate, Oholiab the son of Ahisamach, from the tribe of Dan. And I have placed wisdom in the heart of every artisan, so that they may make everything as I have instructed you:
Mayi Ahisamak ba Oholiab a ɔfiri Dan abusua mu sɛ ɔnyɛ ne ɔboafoɔ. “Ɛno akyi no, mama adwumayɛfoɔ no nyinaa nimdeɛ sononko bi sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a, wɔbɛtumi adi dwuma biara a mɛkyerɛ wɔn sɛ wɔnni no:
7 the tabernacle of the covenant, and the ark of the testimony, and the propitiatory which is over it, and all the vessels of the tabernacle,
“sɛ ɛyɛ Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan, sɛ ɛyɛ Apam Adaka, ne ahummɔborɔbea; sɛ ɛyɛ Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no mu ahyehyɛdeɛ,
8 and the table and its vessels, the most pure lampstand with its vessels, and the altars of incense
sɛ ɛyɛ ɛpono no ne ɛso nneɛma; sɛ ɛyɛ sikakɔkɔɔ kaneadua ne ɛho nneɛma; sɛ ɛyɛ ohwam afɔrebukyia;
9 and of holocaust and all their vessels, the washtub with its base,
sɛ ɛyɛ ɔhyeɛ afɔrebukyia ne ɛho nneɛma; sɛ ɛyɛ kuduo ne ne nnyinasoɔ;
10 the holy vestments for the ministry of Aaron the priest, and for his sons, so that they may execute their office of sacred rites,
sɛ ɛyɛ ɔsɔfoɔ Aaron ntadeɛ kronkron fɛfɛ no ne ne mma ntadeɛ sɛdeɛ wɔbɛtumi adi asɔfoɔ;
11 the oil of unction, and the incense of aromatics in the Sanctuary. All the things that I have instructed you, they shall make.”
anaasɛ ɔsra ngo no ne kronkronbea hɔ aduhwam. “Ɛsɛ sɛ wɔfa ɛkwan a mɛkyerɛ wo no so na wɔyɛ yeinom nyinaa.”
12 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
Afei, Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose sɛ,
13 “Speak to the sons of Israel, and you shall say to them: See that you keep my Sabbath. For it is a sign between me and you among your generations, so that you may know that I am the Lord, who sanctifies you.
“Ka kyerɛ wo nkurɔfoɔ Israelfoɔ no sɛ, ‘Sɛ ɛduru homeda a, wɔnhome, ɛfiri sɛ, saa homeda no na daa ɛkae apam a me ne mo apam no. Ɛboa mo ma mokae sɛ mene Awurade a meyɛ mo kronkron no.
14 Keep my Sabbath, for it is holy to you. Whoever will have polluted it, shall die a death. Whoever will have done any work in it, his soul shall perish from the midst of his people.
“‘Monhome homeda no, ɛfiri sɛ, ɛyɛ ɛda kronkron. Obiara a ɔbɛbu saa mmara yi so no, ɔbɛwu. Na deɛ ɔbɛyɛ adwuma saa ɛda no nso, wɔbɛkum no.
15 For six days you shall do work. On the seventh day, it is the Sabbath, a rest sanctified by the Lord. All who will have done work on this day shall die.
Nnansia na mode bɛyɛ adwuma. Na nnanson so no yɛ homeda a wɔntoto no ase a ɛyɛ kronkron ma Awurade. Obiara a ɔbɛyɛ adwuma homeda no, wɔbɛkum no.
16 Let the sons of Israel keep the Sabbath, and let them celebrate it throughout their generations. It is an everlasting covenant
Momfa nna nsia nyɛ mo nnwuma nyinaa, ɛfiri sɛ, ɛda a ɛtɔ so nson no yɛ homeda kronkron ma Awurade. Saa mmara yi yɛ apam ne ahyɛdeɛ a ɛwɔ hɔ daa ma Israelfoɔ.
17 between me and the sons of Israel, and a perpetual sign. For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, and in the seventh he ceased from work.”
Ɛbɛyɛ daa apam a ɛda me ne Israelfoɔ ntam no ho nsɛnkyerɛnneɛ. Ɛfiri sɛ, nna nsia mu na Awurade de bɔɔ ɔsoro ne asase, ɛnna ɔhomee ɛda a ɛtɔ so nson no.’”
18 And the Lord, having completed speaking in this way on Mount Sinai, gave to Moses two stone tablets of testimony, written with the finger of God.
Onyankopɔn kasa kyerɛɛ Mose wɔ Sinai Bepɔ so wieeɛ no, ɔde aboɔ apono mmienu a ɔde ne nsa atwerɛ Mmaransɛm Edu no wɔ so no maa no.
