< Numbers 9 >
1 And YHWH speaks to Moses, in the wilderness of Sinai, in the second year of their going out of the land of Egypt, in the first month, saying,
Bosome a ɛdi ɛkan no mu afe a ɛtɔ so mmienu no mu a wɔafiri Misraim no na Awurade kaa saa asɛm yi kyerɛɛ Mose ɛberɛ a ɔne Israelfoɔ wɔ Sinai ɛserɛ no so no sɛ,
2 “Also, the sons of Israel prepare the Passover in its appointed time;
“Ɛsɛ sɛ afe biara mu bosome a ɛdi ɛkan no dadu nna ɛnan no, Israelfoɔ di Twam Afahyɛ no.
3 in the fourteenth day of this month between the evenings you prepare it in its appointed time; you prepare it according to all its statutes and according to all its ordinances.”
Ɛsɛ sɛ wɔhyɛ afahyɛ no ase owiatɔberɛ. Ɛsɛ sɛ modi mmara biara a ɛfa saa afahyɛ yi die ho so.”
4 And Moses speaks to the sons of Israel to prepare the Passover,
Enti Mose kaa sɛ, wɔbɛhyɛ Twam Afahyɛ no die ase ɛda a ɛtɔ so dunan no anwummerɛ
5 and they prepare the Passover in the first [month], on the fourteenth day of the month, between the evenings, in the wilderness of Sinai; according to all that YHWH has commanded Moses, so the sons of Israel have done.
wɔ Sinai asase pɔ no so sɛdeɛ Awurade ahyɛ no.
6 And there are men who have been defiled by the body of a man, and they have not been able to prepare the Passover on that day, and they come near before Moses and before Aaron on that day,
Na asɛm a ɛsiiɛ ne sɛ, afei na na nnipa no bi firi ayie aba enti, ɛsiane sɛ wɔde wɔn ho aka owufoɔ enti, na wɔn ho agu fi. Yei enti anadwo no, wɔantumi anwe Twam Afahyɛ dwammaa no bi. Wɔbaa Mose ne Aaron nkyɛn
7 and those men say to him, “We are defiled by the body of a man; why are we withheld so as not to bring the offering of YHWH near in its appointed time, in the midst of the sons of Israel?”
bɛkyerɛkyerɛɛ nsɛm a ɛha wɔn mu kyerɛɛ wɔn. Wobisaa sɛ, “Yɛde yɛn ho aka funu, nanso ɛdeɛn enti na yɛne Israelfoɔ nyinaa rentumi mfa yɛn afɔrebɔdeɛ mmrɛ Awurade sɛdeɛ nhyehyɛeɛ no teɛ no?”
8 And Moses says to them, “Stand, and I hear what YHWH has commanded concerning you.”
Mose kaa sɛ ɔbɛbisa Awurade.
9 And YHWH speaks to Moses, saying,
Ɔbisaa Awurade no, mmuaeɛ a ɔnyaeɛ nie:
10 “Speak to the sons of Israel, saying, Though any man is unclean by a body or in a distant journey (of you or of your generations), he has still prepared a Passover to YHWH;
“Israelni biara a ɔbɛsɔ efunu mu, sɛ ɔyɛ nnɛmma anaa ɔfiri awoɔ ntoatoasoɔ a ɛreba no mu no, sɛ ɛyɛ Twam Afahyɛberɛ a, ne ho agu fi, ɛfiri sɛ, wasɔ efunu mu. Sɛ wɔnam akwantuo mu enti wɔantumi amma a, wɔtumi di Awurade Twam Afahyɛ no bosome akyi;
11 they prepare it in the second month, on the fourteenth day, between the evenings; they eat it with unleavened and bitter things;
bosome a ɛtɔ so mmienu no ɛda a ɛtɔ so dunan no anwummerɛ na ɛsɛ sɛ wɔhyɛ aseɛ. Saa ɛberɛ no na ɛsɛ sɛ wɔwe odwammaa no a burodo a mmɔreka nni mu ka ho a ahahan nwononwono bi ka ho.
12 they do not leave of [it] until morning; and they do not break a bone in it; they prepare it according to all the statute of the Passover.
Ɛnsɛ sɛ wɔgya bi ma adeɛ kye so. Ɛnsɛ sɛ wɔbɔ ne dompe mu. Na ɛsɛ sɛ wɔdi Twam Afahyɛ no mmara no nyinaa so pɛpɛɛpɛ.
13 And the man who is clean, and has not been on a journey, and has ceased to prepare the Passover, indeed, that person has been cut off from his people; because he has not brought the offering of YHWH near in its appointed time, that man bears his sin.
Nanso obiara a ne ho nguu fi anaa obi a ɔntuu kwan no nanso wanni Twam Afahyɛ no wɔ ne berɛ ano no, wɔbɛtwa no asuo afiri Israelfoɔ no mu, ɛfiri sɛ, ɔboa pa sɛ ɔremmɔ afɔdeɛ mma Awurade ɛberɛ a ɛsɛ mu, enti ɛsɛ sɛ ɛho afɔdie ba ne so.
14 And when a sojourner sojourns with you, then he has prepared a Passover to YHWH—according to the statute of the Passover and according to its ordinance, so he does; one statute is for you, indeed, for a sojourner and for a native of the land.”
“Sɛ ɔhɔhoɔ bi fra mo mu na ɔpɛ sɛ ɔdi Twam Afahyɛ no bi de hyɛ Awurade animuonyam a, ɛsɛ sɛ ɔdi mmara korɔ no ara so. Mmara baako na ɛwɔ hɔ ma mo nyinaa.”
15 And in the day of the raising up of the Dwelling Place, the cloud has covered the Dwelling Place, even the Tent of the Testimony; and in the evening there is as an appearance of fire on the Dwelling Place until morning;
Ɛda a wɔmaa Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no so sii hɔ no, omununkum kataa so. Anwummerɛ no ara, omununkum no dane yɛɛ sɛ ogya na ɛyɛɛ saa ara anadwo mu no nyinaa.
16 so it is continually; the cloud covers it, also the appearance of fire by night.
Saa ara na ɛte ɛberɛ biara, na ɛduru anadwo a, omununkum no dane yɛ sɛ ogya.
17 And according to the going up of the cloud from off the tent, then afterward the sons of Israel journey; and in the place where the cloud dwells, there the sons of Israel encamp;
Omununkum no maa ne ho so no, Israelfoɔ no dii akyire kɔsii baabiara a ɛkɔ kɔgyinaeɛ ma wɔbɔɔ hɔ atenaeɛ.
18 by the command of YHWH the sons of Israel journey, and by the command of YHWH they encamp; all the days that the cloud dwells over the Dwelling Place they encamp.
Yei kyerɛ sɛ, sɛ Awurade ka sɛ wɔnkɔ a, wɔkɔ, na sɛ ɔka sɛ wɔnnyina a, wɔgyina. Na sɛ Omununkum no gyina a, wɔn nso gyina kɔsi mmerɛ dodoɔ a ɛgyina hɔ no nyinaa.
19 And in the cloud prolonging itself over the Dwelling Place many days, then the sons of Israel have kept the charge of YHWH, and do not journey.
Sɛ ɛgyina baabi kyɛ a, wɔn nso gyina hɔ kyɛ. Na sɛ ɛgyina hɔ nna kakra bi a, wɔn nso gyina hɔ nna kakra bi saa ara, ɛfiri sɛ, saa na Awurade ahyɛ wɔn sɛ wɔnyɛ.
20 And so when the cloud is over the Dwelling Place [for] a number of days: by the command of YHWH they encamp, and by the command of YHWH they journey.
Ɛtɔ da bi a, omununkum no tena Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no so nna kakraa bi. Sɛ ɛba saa a, nnipa no nso tena nna kakraa bi. Na Awurade nhyɛ mu, wɔtu firii wɔn atenaeɛ.
21 And so when the cloud is from evening until morning, when the cloud has gone up in the morning, then they have journeyed; whether by day or by night, when the cloud has gone up, then they have journeyed.
Ɛtɔ da bi nso a, omununkum no tena anadwo na akɔ adekyeeɛ. Nanso sɛ ɛyɛ awia anaa anadwo na omununkum no ma ne ho so a, nnipa no tu fi atenaeɛ hɔ di akyi.
22 Whether two days, or a month, or days, in the cloud prolonging itself over the Dwelling Place, to dwell over it, the sons of Israel encamp and do not journey; and in its being lifted up they journey.
Sɛ omununkum no ba Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no atifi na ɛdi nnanu, bosome anaa afe a, saa nna no ara so na Israelfoɔ no hwɛ de tena hɔ. Nanso ɛnya tu ara pɛ, na wɔn nso atu.
23 By the command of YHWH they encamp, and by the command of YHWH they journey; they have kept the charge of YHWH, by the command of YHWH in the hand of Moses.
Yei kyerɛ sɛ, wɔn atenaseɛbɔ ne wɔn akwantuo nyinaa gyina Awurade mmara a ɔhyɛ ma wɔn so; na biribiara a Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose sɛ wɔnyɛ no, wɔyɛeɛ.
