Exodus 31

1 And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,

Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose sɛ,

2 See, I have called by name Bezaleel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah,

“Mayi Besaleel a ɔyɛ Uri babarima na ɔyɛ Hur nana a ɔfiri Yuda abusua mu

3 and have filled him with the spirit of God, in wisdom, and in understanding, and in knowledge, and in every work,

de Onyankopɔn Honhom ahyɛ no ma. Mama no nyansa, tumi ne adwene a ɔde bɛsi Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no ayɛ biribiara a ɛwɔ mu.

4 to devise artistic work — to work in gold, and in silver, and in copper,

Ɔyɛ sika, dwetɛ ne kɔbere ho dwumfoɔ kɛseɛ.

5 and in cutting of stones, for setting, and for carving of timber — to work in all manner of work.

Ɔwɔ agudeɛ adwinneɛ ne nnuasene ho nimdeɛ nso.

6 And I, behold, I have given with him Aholiab the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan; and in the heart of every one that is wise-hearted have I given wisdom, that they may make all that I have commanded thee —

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 tent of meeting and the ark of the testimony, and the mercy-seat that is thereupon, and all the utensils of the tent,

“sɛ ɛyɛ Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan, sɛ ɛyɛ Apam Adaka, ne ahummɔborɔbea; sɛ ɛyɛ Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no mu ahyehyɛdeɛ,

8 and the table and its utensils, and the pure lamp-stand and all its utensils, and the altar of incense;

sɛ ɛyɛ ɛpono no ne ɛso nneɛma; sɛ ɛyɛ sikakɔkɔɔ kaneadua ne ɛho nneɛma; sɛ ɛyɛ ohwam afɔrebukyia;

9 and the altar of burnt-offering and all its utensils, and the laver and its stand;

sɛ ɛyɛ ɔhyeɛ afɔrebukyia ne ɛho nneɛma; sɛ ɛyɛ kuduo ne ne nnyinasoɔ;

10 and the garments of service, both the holy garments of Aaron the priest, and the garments of his sons, to serve as priests;

sɛ ɛyɛ ɔsɔfoɔ Aaron ntadeɛ kronkron fɛfɛ no ne ne mma ntadeɛ sɛdeɛ wɔbɛtumi adi asɔfoɔ;

11 and the anointing oil, and the incense of fragrant drugs for the sanctuary: according to all that I have commanded thee shall they do.

anaasɛ ɔsra ngo no ne kronkronbea hɔ aduhwam. “Ɛsɛ sɛ wɔfa ɛkwan a mɛkyerɛ wo no so na wɔyɛ yeinom nyinaa.”

12 And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,

Afei, Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose sɛ,

13 And thou, speak thou unto the children of Israel, saying, Surely my sabbaths shall ye keep; for this is a sign between me and you throughout your generations, that ye may know that it is I, Jehovah, who do hallow 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 the sabbath, therefore; for it is holy unto you; every one that profaneth it shall certainly be put to death: yea, whoever doeth work on it, that soul shall be cut off from among his peoples.

“‘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 Six days shall work be done; but on the seventh day is the sabbath of rest, holy to Jehovah: whoever doeth work on the sabbath day shall certainly be put to death.

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 And the children of Israel shall keep the sabbath, to observe the sabbath 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 It shall be a sign between me and the children of Israel for ever; for [in] six days Jehovah made the heavens and the earth, and on the seventh day he rested, and was refreshed.

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 he gave to Moses, when he had ended speaking with him on mount Sinai, the two tables of testimony, tables of stone, 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.
