Exodus 30

1 Fvrthermore thou shalt make an altar for sweete perfume, of Shittim wood thou shalt make it.

“Fa okuo yɛ afɔrebukyia ketewa bi a wobɛhye aduhwam wɔ so.

2 The length therof a cubite and the breadth thereof a cubite (it shalbe foure square) and the height thereof two cubites: the hornes thereof shalbe of the same,

Ma ɛnyɛ ahinanan a ne fa biara susu nsateakwaa dunwɔtwe, na ne ɔsorokɔ nso nyɛ anammɔn mmiɛnsa a wɔasene mmɛn a ɛfiri dua a wɔde yɛɛ afɔrebukyia no ara mu ama ɛtuatua ho. Ɛnsɛ sɛ ɛyɛ mmɛn a wɔsene firi baabi bɛtuatuaa ho.

3 And thou shalt ouerlay it with fine golde, both the toppe therof and the sides thereof round about, and his hornes: also thou shalt make vnto it a crowne of gold round about.

Fa sikakɔkɔɔ kata ne soro, ne nkyɛn ne mmɛn a ɛwɔ afɔrebukyia no ho no nyinaa. Na fa sikakɔkɔɔ ntotoano twa afɔrebukyia no ho nyinaa hyia.

4 Besides this thou shalt make vnder this crowne two golden rings on either side: euen on euery side shalt thou make them, that they may be as places for the barres to beare it withall.

Fa sikakɔkɔɔ nkawa mmienu bobɔ afɔrebukyia no afanu no nkyɛn mu ase na wɔde nnua a wɔde bɛsoa no awurawura mu.

5 The which barres thou shalt make of Shittim wood, and shalt couer them with golde.

Wɔmfa okuo na ɛnyɛ nnua no, na wɔmfa sikakɔkɔɔ nnura ho nyinaa.

6 After thou shalt set it before the vaile, that is neere the Arke of Testimonie, before the Merciseate that is vpon the Testimonie, where I will appoynt with thee.

Fa afɔrebukyia no si ntwamutam no akyi wɔ mpata beaeɛ hɔ a ɛbɔ faako a Apam Adaka a Mmaransɛm Edu no wɔ hɔ no ho ban. Mɛhyia mo hɔ.

7 And Aaron shall burne thereon sweete incense euery morning: when hee dresseth the lampes thereof, shall he burne it.

“Ɛda biara anɔpa, sɛ Aaron resiesie kanea no a, ɔbɛhye aduhwam wɔ afɔrebukyia no so.

8 Likewise at eue, when Aaron setteth vp the lampes thereof, he shall burne incense: this perfume shalbe perpetually before ye Lord, throughout your generations.

Anwummerɛ biara, sɛ ɔsɔ kanea no a, ɔbɛhye aduhwam wɔ Awurade anim. Yei bɛtoa so firi awoɔ ntoatoasoɔ so akɔsi awo ntoatoasoɔ so.

9 Ye shall offer no strange incense thereon, nor burnt sacrifice, nor offring, neither powre any drinke offring thereon.

Monhye aduhwam a wɔama ho ɛkwan wɔ afɔrebukyia no so. Mommmɔ ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ ne aduane afɔdeɛ wɔ so, na mommfa ahwiesa ngu so.

10 And Aaron shall make reconciliation vpon the hornes of it once in a yere with the blood of the sinne offring in the day of reconciliation: once in the yeere shall hee make reconciliation vpon it throughout your generations: this is most holy vnto the Lord.

Afe biara, ɛsɛ sɛ Aaron dwira afɔrebukyia no ho yɛ no kronkron. Ɔde mogya bɛsrasra mmɛn a ɛtuatua ho no so sɛ mpatadeɛ. Ɛsɛ sɛ afe biara wɔte afɔrebukyia no ho yɛ no kronkron firi awoɔ ntoatoasoɔ so kɔsi awo ntoatoasoɔ so, ɛfiri sɛ, ɛyɛ Awurade afɔrebukyia kronkron.”

11 Afterward the Lord spake vnto Moses, saying,

Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose sɛ,

12 When thou takest the summe of the children of Israel after their nomber, then they shall giue euery man a redemption of his life vnto the Lord, when thou tellest them, that there bee no plague among the when thou countest them.

“Ɛberɛ biara a wobɛkan Israelfoɔ no, obiara a wɔbɛkan no no mfa ne mpatadeɛ mmrɛ Awurade mma ne kra, sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a, ɔyaredɔm biara remma wɔn mu bi so.

13 This shall euery man giue, that goeth into the nomber, halfe a shekel, after the shekel of the Sanctuarie: (a shekel is twentie gerahs) the halfe shekel shalbe an offring to the Lord.

Ɛsɛ sɛ obiara a wɔkan no no ma dwetɛbena fa, a emu duru yɛ gram nsia (sɛdeɛ kronkronbea mu dwetɛbena boɔ teɛ no).

14 All that are nombred from twentie yeere olde and aboue, shall giue an offring to the Lord.

Obiara a wadi mfeɛ aduonu rekorɔ no na ɔbɛbɔ saa afɔdeɛ yi.

15 The rich shall not passe, and the poore shall not diminish from halfe a shekel, when ye shall giue an offring vnto the Lord, for the redemption of your liues.

Ɛnsɛ sɛ adefoɔ ma ma ɛboro sika a wɔatwa ato hɔ no so. Ɛnsɛ sɛ ahiafoɔ nso ma deɛ ɛsua sene saa, ɛfiri sɛ, ɛyɛ Awurade afɔdeɛ a ɔde rete yɛn ho ama yɛn.

16 So thou shalt take the money of the redemption of the children of Israel, and shalt put it vnto the vse of the Tabernacle of the Congregation, that it may be a memoriall vnto the children of Israel before the Lord for the redemption of your liues.

Momfa saa sika yi nsiesie Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no. Sɛ moyɛ saa a, ɛbɛma Awurade ani aba mo, Israelfoɔ so, na ayɛ mpatadeɛ nso ama mo.”

17 Also the Lord spake vnto Moses, saying,

Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose sɛ.

18 Thou shalt also make a lauer of brasse, and his foote of brasse to wash, and shalt put it betweene the Tabernacle of the Congregation and the Altar, and shalt put water therein.

“Fa kɔbere yɛ atam a ne nnyinasoɔ nso yɛ kɔbere. Fa si Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no ne afɔrebukyia no ntam na fa nsuo gu mu.

19 For Aaron and his sonnes shall wash their hands and their feete thereat.

Ɛhɔ na Aaron ne ne mmammarima bɛhohoro wɔn nsa ne wɔn nan ho

20 When they go into the Tabernacle of the Congregation, or when they goe vnto the Altar to minister and to make the perfume of ye burnt offring to the Lord, they shall wash themselues with water, lest they die.

ɛberɛ a wɔrekɔ Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no mu de wɔn ho akɔkyerɛ Awurade, anaasɛ nso wɔrekɔ akɔbɔ afɔdeɛ wɔ afɔrebukyia no so ama Awurade no. Ɛberɛ biara a wɔrekɔdi saa dwuma yi no, ɛsɛ sɛ wɔhohoro wɔn ho; anyɛ saa a, wɔbɛwuwu.

21 So they shall wash their handes and their feete that they die not: and this shall be to them an ordinance for euer, both vnto him and to his seede throughout their generations.

Yei ne mmara a wɔahyɛ ama Aaron ne ne mmammarima firi awo ntoatoasoɔ so kɔsi awo ntoatoasoɔ so no.”

22 Also the Lord spake vnto Moses, saying,

Afei, Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose sɛ,

23 Take thou also vnto thee, principall spices of the most pure myrrhe fiue hundreth shekels, of sweete cinamon halfe so much, that is, two hundreth and fiftie, and of sweete calamus, two hundreth, and fiftie:

“Hwehwɛ nnuhwam papa sɛ kurobo, kilogram nsia, sinamon kilogram mmiɛnsa ne mmɛtire hwamhwam kilogram mmiɛnsa.

24 Also of cassia fiue hundreth, after the shekel of the Sanctuarie, and of oyle oliue an Hin.

Kurobo dodoɔ a mobɛfa no nyɛ sɛ sinamon no dodoɔ na momfa ngo dua mu ngo lita ɛnan.

25 So thou shalt make of it the oyle of holie oyntment, euen a most precious oyntment after the arte of the Apothecarie: this shalbe the oyle of holy oyntment.

Awurade ahyɛ nnuhwamfrafoɔ a wɔaben yie, sɛ wɔmfra saa nnuhwam yi ma ɛnyɛ ngo kronkron a wɔde te onipa ho.

26 And thou shalt anoynt the Tabernacle of the Congregation therewith, and the Arke of the Testimonie:

Awurade kaa sɛ, momfa yei nte Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan ne Apam Adaka,

27 Also the Table, and al the instruments thereof, and the Candlesticke, with all the instruments thereof, and the altar of incense:

ne ɛpono ne ɛho nkyɛnsee ne ɔhyeɛ afɔrebukyia no ho.

28 Also the Altar of burnt offring with al his instruments, and the lauer and his foote.

Saa ara nso na momfa nte afɔrebukyia no ne ɛho nneɛma ne atam ne deɛ ɛsi mu no ho.

29 So thou shalt sanctifie them, and they shalbe most holy: all that shall touch them, shalbe holy.

Monte ho na ɛnyɛ kronkron; biribiara a ɛbɛka saa nneɛma yi ho bɛte.

30 Thou shalt also anoint Aaron and his sonnes, and shalt consecrate them, that they may minister vnto me in the Priests office.

“Momfa nsra Aaron ne ne mmammarima ho sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a wɔn ho bɛte na wɔatumi ayɛ asɔfodwuma ama me.

31 Moreouer thou shalt speake vnto the children of Israel, saying, This shalbe an holy oynting oyle vnto me, throughout your generations.

Na monka nkyerɛ Israelfoɔ sɛ, ‘Yei ne me srango kronkron.

32 None shall anoynt, mans flesh therewith, neither shall ye make any composition like vnto it: for it is holy, and shalbe holy vnto you.

Ɛnsɛ sɛ wɔhwie gu obiara so kwa, na ɛnsɛ sɛ mo ara ankasa nso moyɛ bi, ɛfiri sɛ, ɛyɛ kronkron enti ɛsɛ sɛ mo nso moyɛ no kronkron.

33 Whosoeuer shall make the like oyntment, or whosoeuer shall put any of it vpon a stranger, euen he shalbe cut off from his people.

Obiara a ɔbɛfra aduhwam a ɛte sɛ no anaa ɔbɛhwie bi agu obi a ɔnyɛ ɔsɔfoɔ so no, wɔbɛtwa no asuo.’”

34 And the Lord sayd vnto Moses, Take vnto thee these spices, pure myrrhe and cleare gumme and galbanum, these odours with pure frankincense, of eche like weight:

Awurade hyɛɛ mmara a ɛfa aduhwam no ho maa Mose sɛ, “Fa nnuhwam aneneduro ne nworahwam ne prɛkɛsɛ hwamhwam ne ohwamfufuo gyenegyene na wɔnsusu ne nyinaa mu duru ma ɛnyɛ pɛ,

35 Then thou shalt make of them perfume composed after the arte of the apothecarie, mingled together, pure and holy.

na fa yɛ aduhwam a wɔhyeɛ a aduhwamfrani a waben yɛ no bi, na wɔmfa nkyene mfra mu; na ɛbɛyɛ aduhwam kronkron.

36 And thou shalt beate it to pouder, and shalt put of it before the Arke of the Testimonie in the Tabernacle of ye Cogregatio, where I wil make appointmet with thee: it shalbe vnto you most holy.

Monyam bi ma ɛnyɛ muhumuhu na momfa bi nsi Apam Adaka no anim baabi a mɛhyia mo wɔ Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no mu hɔ no. Saa aduhwam yi ne deɛ ɛyɛ kronkron koraa wɔ ne nyinaa mu.

37 And ye shall not make vnto you any composition like this perfume, which thou shalt make: it shalbe vnto thee holy for the Lord.

Monnyɛ bi mfa, ɛfiri sɛ, wɔakora ama Awurade enti, ɛsɛ sɛ mohunu sɛ ɛyɛ kronkron.

38 Whosoeuer shall make like vnto that to smelll thereto, euen he shalbe cut off from his people.

Obiara a ɔbɛyɛ bi afa no, wɔbɛtwa no asuo.”
