Exodus 24

1 And he said to Moses: Come up to the Lord, thou, and Aaron, Nadab, and Abiu, and seventy of the ancients of Israel, and you shall adore afar off.

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 alone shall come up to the Lord, but they shall not come nigh; neither shall the people come up with him.

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

3 So Moses came and told the people all the words of the Lord, and all the judgments: and all the people answered with one voice: We will do all the words of the Lord, which he hath spoken.

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

4 And Moses wrote all the words of the Lord: and rising in the morning he built an altar at the foot of the mount, and twelve titles according to 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 young men of the children of Israel, and they offered holocausts, and sacrificed pacific victims of calves to the Lord.

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

6 Then Moses took half of the blood, and put it into bowls: and the rest he poured upon 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 taking the book of the covenant, he read it in the hearing of the people: and they said: All things that the Lord hath spoken we will do, we will be obedient.

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 And he took the blood and sprinkled it upon the people, and he said: This is the blood of the covenant which the Lord hath made with you concerning all 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 Abiu, and seventy of the ancients 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 as it were a work of sapphire stone, and as the heaven, when clear.

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

11 Neither did he lay his hand upon those of the children of Israel, that retired afar off, and they saw God, and they did eat 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 into the mount, and be there: and I will give thee tables of stone, and the law, and the commandments which I have written: that thou mayst teach 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 Moses rose up, and his minister Josue: and Moses going up into the mount of God,

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

14 Said to the ancients: Wait ye here till we return to you. You have Aaron and Hur with you: if any question shall arise, you shall refer it 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 when Moses was gone up, a cloud covered the mount.

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

16 And the glory of the Lord dwelt upon Sinai, covering it with a cloud six days: and the seventh day he called him out of the midst 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 sight of the glory of the Lord was like a burning fire upon the top of the mount, in 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, entering into the midst of the cloud, went up into the mountain: and he was there forty days, and forty nights.

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