Exodus 31
1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose sɛ,
2 Behold, I have called by name Beseleel the son of Urias the son of Or, of the tribe of Juda.
“Mayi Besaleel a ɔyɛ Uri babarima na ɔyɛ Hur nana a ɔfiri Yuda abusua mu
3 And I have filled him [with] a divine spirit of wisdom, and understanding, and knowledge, to invent 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 and to frame works, to labor in gold, and silver, and brass, and blue, and purple, and spun scarlet,
Ɔyɛ sika, dwetɛ ne kɔbere ho dwumfoɔ kɛseɛ.
5 and works in stone, and for artificers' work in wood, to work at all works.
Ɔwɔ agudeɛ adwinneɛ ne nnuasene ho nimdeɛ nso.
6 And I have appointed him and Eliab the [son] of Achisamach of the tribe of Dan, and to every one understanding in heart I have given understanding; and they shall make all things as many as I have appointed you, —
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 tabernacle of witness, and the ark of the covenant, and the propitiatory that is upon it, and the furniture of the tabernacle,
“sɛ ɛyɛ Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan, sɛ ɛyɛ Apam Adaka, ne ahummɔborɔbea; sɛ ɛyɛ Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no mu ahyehyɛdeɛ,
8 and the altars, and the table and all its furniture,
sɛ ɛyɛ ɛpono no ne ɛso nneɛma; sɛ ɛyɛ sikakɔkɔɔ kaneadua ne ɛho nneɛma; sɛ ɛyɛ ohwam afɔrebukyia;
9 and the pure candlestick and all its furniture, and the laver and its base,
sɛ ɛyɛ ɔhyeɛ afɔrebukyia ne ɛho nneɛma; sɛ ɛyɛ kuduo ne ne nnyinasoɔ;
10 and Aaron's robes of ministry, and the robes of his sons to minister to me 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 compound incense of the sanctuary; according to all that I have commanded you shall they make them.
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 to Moses, saying,
Afei, Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose sɛ,
13 Do you also charge the children of Israel, saying, Take heed and keep my sabbaths; [for] they are a sign with me and among you throughout your generations, that you may know that I am the Lord that sanctifies 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 And you shall keep the sabbaths, because this is holy to the Lord for you; he that profanes it shall surely be put to death: every one who shall do a work on it, that soul shall be destroyed from the midst of 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 you shall do works, but the seventh day is the sabbath, a holy rest to the Lord; every one who shall do a work on the seventh day shall 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 sabbaths, to observe them throughout their generations.
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 perpetual covenant with me and the children of Israel, it is a perpetual sign with me; for in six days the Lord made the heaven and the earth, and on the seventh day he ceased, 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 to Moses when he left off speaking to him in mount Sina the two tables of testimony, tables of stone written [upon] 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.
