Numbers 10

1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

Afei, Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose se,

2 “Make for yourself two trumpets of ductile silver, with which you may be able to call together the multitude when the camp is to be moved.

“Fa dwetɛ a wɔaboro yɛ ntorobɛnto abien, na ɛyɛ a wɔahyɛn de afrɛ nnipa no, na edu ntamadan no tu so nso a, wɔahyɛn.

3 And when you sound the trumpets, all the multitude shall gather to you at the door of the tabernacle of the covenant.

Sɛ wɔhyɛn ntorobɛnto abien no a, nnipa no behu sɛ, ɛsɛ sɛ wɔboa wɔn ho ano wɔ Ahyiae Ntamadan no ano.

4 If you sound it only once, the leaders and the heads of the multitude of Israel shall come to you.

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

5 But if the sound of the trumpets is prolonged, but with interruptions, those who are toward the east side shall move the camp first.

Sɛ mohyɛn de kyerɛ sɛ monkɔ mo anim a, mmusuakuw a wɔwɔ Ahyiae Ntamadan apuei fam no betu afi wɔn atenae hɔ na wɔakɔ.

6 Then, at the second sounding of the trumpet with the same cadence, those who live toward the south shall take up their tents. And the remainder shall act in like manner, when the trumpets shall reverberate for a departure.

Sɛ mohyɛn nea ɛto so abien no a, mmusuakuw a wɔwɔ anafo fam no bedi so. Monhyɛn no ntiantia mu mfa nkyerɛ sɛ wɔnkɔ.

7 But when the people are to be gathered together, the sound of the trumpets shall be simple, and the sounds shall not be separated.

Na sɛ mofrɛ nnipa no ama wɔabehyia a, momfa ɔkwan foforo so nhyɛn ntorobɛnto no.

8 Now it is the sons of Aaron the priest who shall sound the trumpets. And this shall be an everlasting ordinance, in your generations.

“Aaron mmabarima asɔfo nko ara na wɔbɛma wɔn kwan ama wɔahyɛn ntorobɛnto no. Eyi yɛ mmara a ɛbɛtena hɔ daa ama awo ntoatoaso a ɛbɛba no nyinaa.

9 If you go forth to war from your land, against the enemies who set out against you, you shall sound the trumpets repeatedly, and there shall be a remembrance of you before the Lord your God, so that you may be rescued from the hands of your enemies.

Sɛ mudu Bɔhyɛ Asase no so na mo ne mo atamfo a wɔhyɛ mo so no ko a mohyɛn ntorobɛnto no. Na, Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn bɛkae mo na wagye mo afi mo atamfo nsam.

10 If at any time you will have a banquet, and on feast days, and on the first days of the months, you shall sound the trumpets over the holocausts and the peace-offering victims, so that they may be for you as a remembrance by your God. I am the Lord your God.”

Anigyebere mu nso, monhyɛn ntorobɛnto no. Afe mu dapɔnna nso, monhyɛn. Ɔsram biara mfiase nso, monhyɛn mfa nnye mo ani wɔ ɔhyew afɔre ne asomdwoe afɔre ho. Sɛ moyɛ saa a, ɛbɛkae Onyankopɔn apam a ɔne mo wɔ no. Na mene Awurade mo Nyankopɔn.”

11 In the second year, in the second month, on the twentieth day of the month, the cloud was lifted up from the tabernacle of the covenant.

Ɔsram a ɛto so abien no da a ɛto so aduonu no a ɛyɛ mfe abien a Israelfo fii Misraim no, omununkum no pagyaw ne ho fii Ahyiae Ntamadan no so,

12 And the sons of Israel set out by their companies from the desert of Sinai, and the cloud rested in the wilderness of Paran.

enti Israelfo no fii Sinai sare so hɔ dii omununkum no akyi kosii sɛ ekogyinaa Paran sare so.

13 And the first to move their camp, according to the command of the Lord by the hand of Moses,

Bere a ɛsɛ sɛ wotu no duu no, Awurade nam Mose so ka kyerɛɛ wɔn.

14 were the sons of Judah by their companies, whose leader was Nahshon the son of Amminadab.

Akwantu no mu no, mmusua a wɔhyɛ Yuda abusuakuw no ase, a Aminadab babarima Nahson tua ano na otuu wɔn frankaa ma wodii kan.

15 In the tribe of the sons of Issachar, the leader was Nathanael the son of Zuar.

Wɔn a wodii so ne Isakar abusuakuw a Suar babarima Netanel di wɔn anim.

16 In the tribe of Zebulon, the leader was Eliab the son of Helon.

Sebulon abusuakuw na wodii hɔ a Helon babarima Eliab na na odi wɔn anim.

17 And the tabernacle was taken down, because the sons of Gershon and Merari, who carry it, were departing.

Wotutuu Ahyiae Ntamadan no, na Gerson ne Merari mmusua a wofi Lewifo mu no soaa Ahyiae Ntamadan no dii wɔn afa wɔ santen no mu.

18 And the sons of Ruben also set out, by their companies and ranks, whose leader was Elizur the son of Shedeur.

Ruben abusuakuw tuu wɔn frankaa de dii so a Sedeur babarima Elisur di wɔn anim.

19 And in the tribe of Simeon, the leader was Shelumiel the son of Zurishaddai.

Wɔn a na wodi so ne Simeon abusuakuw a Surisadai babarima Selumiel di wɔn anim;

20 And in the tribe of Gad, the leader was Eliasaph the son of Reuel.

Gad abusuakuw nso, na Deguel babarima Eliasaf na odi wɔn anim.

21 Then the Kohathites also set out, carrying the Sanctuary. The tabernacle was carried, all the while, until they arrived at the place for setting it up.

Na Kohatfo no nso na na wodi hɔ a wɔsoso kronkronbea hɔ nneɛma. Na ɛsɛ sɛ wɔhyehyɛ Ahyiae Ntamadan no wɔ beae foforo hɔ ansa na wɔadu hɔ.

22 The sons of Ephraim also moved their camp by their companies, and the leader of their army was Elishama the son of Ammihud.

Wɔn a na wodi so ne Efraim abusuakuw a na wodi wɔn frankaa no akyi a Amihud babarima Elisama na odi wɔn anim;

23 And in the tribe of the sons of Manasseh, the leader was Gamaliel the son of Pedahzur.

Wɔn a na wodi so ne Manase abusuakuw a Pedahsur babarima Gamaliel di wɔn anim;

24 And in the tribe of Benjamin, the leader was Abidan the son of Gideoni.

na Benyamin abusuakuw na na wodi so a Gideoni babarima Abidan di wɔn anim.

25 The last of all the camp to set out were the sons of Dan by their companies, and the leader of their army was Ahiezer the son of Ammishaddai.

Wɔn a na wotwa to koraa no ne Dan abusuakuw a wɔyɛ wɔn nyinaa awɛmfo na Amisadai babarima Ahieser da wɔn ano na frankaa di wɔn anim.

26 And in the tribe of the sons of Asher, the leader was Pagiel the son of Ochran.

Okran babarima Pagiel na na odi Aser abusuakuw anim,

27 And in the tribe of the sons of Naphtali, the leader was Ahira the son of Enan.

na Enan babarima Ahira nso di Naftali abusuakuw anim.

28 These were the camps and departures of the sons of Israel by their companies, when they went forth.

Saa nhyehyɛe yi na Israel mmusuakuw yi faa so tuu wɔn kwan no.

29 And Moses said to Hobab the son of Raguel the Midianite, his kinsman: “We are setting out to the place which the Lord will give to us. Come with us, so that we may do good to you. For the Lord has promised good things to Israel.”

Afei, Mose ka kyerɛɛ nʼase Hobab, Midiani Reuel ba se, “Eyi nyinaa akyi no, yɛrekɔ beae a Awurade kae se, ‘Mede bɛma mo no.’ Bra na yɛnkɔ na yɛbɛhwɛ wo so yiye; efisɛ Awurade ahyɛ Israelfo nnepa ho bɔ.”

30 And he answered him, “I will not go with you, but I will return to my own land, in which I was born.”

Obuae se, “Dabi, merenkɔ; merekɔ mʼasase so ne mʼabusuafo nkyɛn.”

31 And he said: “Do not choose to leave us. For you know in which places in the desert we ought to make camp, and so you shall be our guide.

Nanso Mose kae se, “Mesrɛ wo, nnyaw yɛn. Wo na wunim faako a ɛsɛ sɛ yɛtena wɔ sare no so, na wubetumi ayɛ yɛn kwankyerɛfo.

32 And if you come with us, whatever will be best among the riches which the Lord will deliver to us, we will give to you.”

Sɛ wo ne yɛn kɔ a, nneɛma pa a Awurade de bɛma yɛn no nyinaa, wubenya bi.”

33 Therefore, they set out from the Mountain of the Lord on a journey of three days. And the ark of the covenant of the Lord preceded them, for three days, in order to provide a place for the camp.

Enti wofi Awurade Bepɔw so nantew nnansa. Awurade Apam Adaka no dii wɔn anim hwehwɛɛ baabi a wɔbɛsoɛ maa wɔn.

34 Likewise, the cloud of the Lord was over them, throughout the day, while they proceeded.

Wofii wɔn akwantu no ase awia a wɔrekɔ no nyinaa na Awurade mununkum no di wɔn anim.

35 And when the ark was lifted up, Moses said, “Rise up, O Lord, and let your enemies be scattered, and let those who hate you flee from your face.”

Bere biara a wɔbɛma adaka no so asi mu no, Mose teɛ mu se, “Awurade, sɔre! Ma wʼatamfo nhwete; ma wɔn nyinaa nguan mfi wʼanim.”

36 And when it was set down, he said: “Return, O Lord, to the multitude of the army of Israel.”

Bere biara a wɔbɛsoɛ adaka no, ɔka se, “Awurade, san bra Israelfo mpempem a wontumi nkan wɔn no mu.”
