< Numbers 9 >
1 And Yahweh spake unto Moses in the desert of Sinai, in the second year by their coming forth out of the land of Egypt in the first month, saying:
Ɔsram a edi kan no mu afe a ɛto so abien no mu a wɔafi Misraim no na Awurade kaa saa asɛm yi kyerɛɛ Mose bere a ɔne Israelfo wɔ Sinai sare no so no se,
2 Let the sons of Israel therefore, keep the passover in its appointed season:
“Ma Israelfo no nni Twam Afahyɛ no wɔ ne bere ano.
3 on the fourteenth day of this month between the two evenings, shall ye keep it, in its appointed season, —according to all the statute thereof and according to all the regulations thereof, shall ye keep it.
Munni no wɔ ne bere ano, na mofa ne mmara akwan ahorow no nyinaa so nni wɔ ɔsram yi da a ɛto so dunan no anwummere.”
4 Then spake Moses unto the sons of Israel that they should keep the passover.
Enti Mose ka kyerɛɛ Israelfo no se wonni Twam Afahyɛ no,
5 So they kept the passover in the first [month], on the fourteenth day of the month between the two evenings, in the desert of Sinai, —according to all that Yahweh commanded Moses, so, did the sons of Israel.
na wɔyɛɛ saa wɔ Sinai Nweatam no so wɔ ɔsram a edi kan no da a ɛto so dunan no anwummere. Na Israelfo no yɛɛ biribiara pɛpɛɛpɛ sɛnea Awurade hyɛɛ Mose no.
6 But so it was that there were, certain men who had become unclean by a dead person, and could not keep the passover on that day, —therefore came they near before Moses and before Aaron on that day.
Nanso na nnipa no bi fi ayi aba a esiane sɛ wɔde wɔn ho aka owufo nti na wɔn ho agu fi. Eyi nti wɔantumi anni Twam Afahyɛ no bi. Enti wɔbaa Mose ne Aaron nkyɛn da no ara
7 Then said those men unto him, We, are unclean by a dead person, —wherefore should we become of less esteem for want of offering the oblation of Yahweh in its appointed season, in the midst of the sons of Israel?
bɛka kyerɛɛ Mose se, “Yɛde yɛn ho aka funu ama yɛn ho agu fi, nanso dɛn nti na yɛne Israelfo nyinaa rentumi mfa yɛn afɔrebɔde mmrɛ Awurade sɛnea nhyehyɛe no te no?”
8 And Moses said unto them, —Stay, and let me hear, what Yahweh shall command concerning you!
Mose buaa wɔn se, “Montwɛn mma mimmisa sɛnea Awurade mmara no ka fa mo ho.”
9 Then spake Yahweh unto Moses, saying:
Na Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose se,
10 Speak unto the sons of Israel, saying, —Though, any man, be unclean by a dead person or be on a journey afar off, whether in the case of yourselves or of your generations, yet shall he keep a passover unto Yahweh.
“Ka kyerɛ Israelfo no se, Obiara a obeso funu mu, sɛ ɔyɛ nnɛmma anaa ofi awo ntoatoaso a ɛreba no mu wɔ Twam Afahyɛ bere a ɛbɛma ne ho agu fi anaa ɔnam akwantu so nti wɔantumi amma no tumi di Awurade Twam Afahyɛ no,
11 In the second month, on the fourteenth day between the two evenings, shall they keep it, —with unleavened cakes and bitter herbs, shall they eat it.
nanso ɔsram a ɛto so abien no da a ɛto so dunan no anwummere na ɛsɛ sɛ wodi. Saa bere no na ɛsɛ sɛ wɔwe oguamma no a brodo a mmɔkaw nni mu ka ho a naban nweenwen ka ho.
12 They shall not leave thereof until morning, and no bone, shall they break therein—according to all the statutes of the passover, shall they keep it.
Ɛnsɛ sɛ wogyaw bi ma ade kye so, anaa wɔbɔ ne dompe mu. Na ɛsɛ sɛ wodi Twam Afahyɛ no mmara no nyinaa so pɛpɛɛpɛ.
13 But as for the man who is, clean, and no a journey, doth not chance to be and yet faileth to keep the passover, that person shall he cut off from among his kinsfolk, —for the oblation of Yahweh, hath he not offered in its appointed season, his own sin, shall, that man, bear.
Nanso obiara a ne ho nguu fi anaa obi a ontuu kwan nanso wanni Twam Afahyɛ no wɔ ne bere ano no, ɛsɛ sɛ wotwa no asu afi Israelfo no mu wɔ afɔre a wamma ammɛbɔ amma Awurade bere a ɛsɛ mu no nti. Wɔbɛsoa wɔn afɔdi ho sodi.
14 When moreover there may sojourn with you a sojourner, who would keep a passover unto Yahweh, according to the statute of the passover, and according to the regulation thereof, so, must he keep [it], —one statute, shall there be for you, both for the sojourner and for the native of the land.
“Ɛsɛ sɛ ɔhɔho a ɔfra mo mu no fa mmara koro no ara so di Awurade Twam Afahyɛ no. Ɛsɛ sɛ ɔhɔho ne okuroni nyinaa di mmara koro no so.”
15 Now, on the day the habitation was reared, the cloud covered the habitation, even the tent of the testimony, —and in the evening, it was over the habitation, like an appearance of fire, until morning,
Da a wɔmaa Ahyiae Ntamadan no so sii hɔ no, omununkum kataa so. Anwummere no ara, omununkum no dan yɛɛ sɛ ogya na ɛyɛɛ saa ara anadwo mu no nyinaa de kosii adekyee.
16 Thus, came it to pass continually, the cloud, covered it, —and an appearance of fire, by night;
Saa ara na ɛte bere biara, na edu anadwo a, mununkum no dan yɛ sɛ ogya.
17 but at the bidding of the upgoings of the cloud from off the tent, then, after that, the sons of Israel set forward, —and in the place where the cloud abode, there the sons of Israel encamped:
Omununkum no maa ne ho so no, Israelfo no dii akyi kosii baabiara a ɛkɔ kogyina ma wɔbɔɔ hɔ atenae.
18 at the bidding of Yahweh, the sons of Israel set forward, and at the bidding of Yahweh, they encamped, —all the days that the cloud abode upon the habitation, they remained encamped.
Eyi kyerɛ sɛ, sɛ Awurade ka se wɔnkɔ a, wɔkɔ, na sɛ ɔka se wonnyina a, wogyina. Na sɛ Omununkum no gyina a, wɔn nso gyina mmere dodow a egyina hɔ no nyinaa.
19 And when the cloud lengthened out its stay upon the habitation, many days, then would the sons of Israel keep the watch of Yahweh, and would not set forward.
Sɛ egyina baabi kyɛ a, wɔn nso gyina hɔ kyɛ. Na sɛ egyina hɔ nna kakraa bi a, wɔn nso gyina hɔ nna kakraa bi saa ara, efisɛ saa na Awurade ahyɛ wɔn sɛ wɔnyɛ.
20 And, so it was, when the cloud would be a few days upon the habitation, at the bidding of Yahweh, they remained encamped, and at the bidding of Yahweh, they set forward.
Ɛtɔ da bi a, omununkum no tena Ahyiae Ntamadan no so nna kakraa bi. Sɛ ɛba saa a, nnipa no nso tena nna kakraa bi. Na Awurade nhyɛ mu, wotu fii wɔn atenae.
21 And, so it was, when the cloud would be from evening until morning, as soon as the cloud went up in the morning, so soon did they set forward: whether by day or by night, as soon as the cloud went up, so soon did they set forward.
Ɛtɔ da bi nso a, omununkum no tena anadwo na akɔ adekyee. Nanso sɛ ɛyɛ awia anaa anadwo na omununkum no ma ne ho so a, nnipa no tu fi atenae hɔ di akyi.
22 Whether for two days or a month or a year, the cloud lengthened out its stay upon the habitation abiding thereupon, the sons of Israel remained encamped and set not forward, —but at the upgoings thereof, they set forward.
Sɛ omununkum no ba Ahyiae Ntamadan no atifi na edi nnaanu, ɔsram anaa afe a, saa nna no ara so na Israelfo no hwɛ de tena hɔ. Nanso enya tu ara pɛ a, na wɔn nso atu.
23 At the bidding of Yahweh, they encamped, and at the bidding of Yahweh, they set forward, —the watch of Yahweh, they kept, at the bidding of Yahweh by the hand of Moses.
Eyi kyerɛ sɛ, wɔn nsrabɔ ne wɔn akwantu nyinaa gyina Awurade mmara a ɔhyɛ ma wɔn no so; na biribiara a Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose sɛ wɔnyɛ no, wɔyɛe.
