Exodus 31

1 And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying:

Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose sɛ,

2 'See, I have called by name Bezalel 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 I have filled him with the spirit of God, in wisdom, and in understanding, and in knowledge, and in all manner of workmanship,

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 skilful works, to work in gold, and in silver, and in brass,

Ɔyɛ sika, dwetɛ ne kɔbere ho dwumfoɔ kɛseɛ.

5 and in cutting of stones for setting, and in carving of wood, to work in all manner of workmanship.

Ɔwɔ agudeɛ adwinneɛ ne nnuasene ho nimdeɛ nso.

6 And I, behold, I have appointed with him Oholiab, the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan; and in the hearts of all that are wise-hearted I have put 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 ark-cover that is thereupon, and all the furniture 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 vessels, and the pure candlestick with all its vessels, 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 with all its vessels, and the laver and its base;

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

10 and the plaited garments, and the holy garments for Aaron the priest, and the garments of his sons, to minister in the priest's office;

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 sweet spices for the holy place; 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 the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying:

Afei, Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose sɛ,

13 'Speak thou also unto the children of Israel, saying: Verily ye shall keep My sabbaths, for it is a sign between Me and you throughout your generations, that ye may know that I am the LORD who sanctify 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 Ye shall keep the sabbath therefore, for it is holy unto you; every one that profaneth it shall surely be put to death; for whosoever doeth any work therein, that soul shall be cut off from among 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 Six days shall work be done; but on the seventh day is a sabbath of solemn rest, holy to the LORD; whosoever doeth any work in the sabbath day, he shall surely 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 Wherefore the children of Israel shall keep the sabbath, to observe the sabbath throughout their generations, for a perpetual 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 is a sign between Me and the children of Israel for ever; for in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, and on the seventh day He ceased from work and rested.'

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 unto Moses, when He had made an end of speaking with him upon mount Sinai, the two tables of the 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.
