< Exodus 19 >
1 In the month third of [the] going out of [the] people of Israel from [the] land of Egypt on the day this they came [the] wilderness of Sinai.
Anadwo a Israelfo no tu fii Misraim no, nʼasram abiɛsa so na wɔde koduu Sinai sare so.
2 And they set out from Rephidim and they came [the] wilderness of Sinai and they encamped in the wilderness and it encamped there Israel before the mountain.
Wotu fii Refidim no, wokoduu Sinai sare so na wɔbɔɔ atenase wɔ Sinai Bepɔw no ase.
3 And Moses he went up to God and he called to him Yahweh from the mountain saying thus you will say to [the] house of Jacob so you may tell to [the] people of Israel.
Mose foro kɔɔ Onyankopɔn nkyɛn na Awurade frɛɛ no fii bepɔw no so kae se, “Ka saa nsɛm yi kyerɛ Yakob asefo Israelman se,
4 You you have seen [that] which I did to Egypt and I carried you on wings of eagles and I brought you to myself.
‘Moahu nea meyɛɛ Misraimfo no ne ɔkwan a mefaa so soaa mo wɔ ɔkɔre ntaban so de mo baa me nkyɛn no.
5 And therefore certainly [if] you will listen to voice my and you will keep covenant my and you will be of me a possession from all the peoples for [belongs] to me all the earth.
Sɛ mubetie me, na moadi mʼahyɛde so a, mobɛyɛ me nguankuw ketewa wɔ asase so aman nyinaa mu, efisɛ asase nyinaa yɛ me dea.
6 And you you will be for me a kingdom of priests and a nation holy these [are] the words which you will speak to [the] people of Israel.
Na mobɛyɛ asɔfo ahemman a ɛyɛ ɔman kronkron ama Onyankopɔn.’ Saa nsɛm yi na ka kyerɛ Israelfo no.”
7 And he went Moses and he summoned [the] elders of the people and he set before them all the words these which he had commanded him Yahweh.
Mose sian fii bepɔw no so bae no, ɔfrɛɛ mpanyimfo a wotuatua nnipa no ano nyinaa na ɔkaa asɛm a Awurade ahyɛ no sɛ ɔnka no kyerɛɛ wɔn.
8 And they answered all the people together and they said all that he has spoken Yahweh we will do and he brought back Moses [the] words of the people to Yahweh.
Wɔtee asɛm no, wɔn nyinaa bɔ gyee so se, “Yɛbɛyɛ biribiara a Awurade aka sɛ yɛnyɛ no nyinaa.” Enti Mose kɔkaa nsɛm a nnipa no aka no kyerɛɛ Awurade.
9 And he said Yahweh to Moses here! I [am] about to come to you in [the] dark cloud of the cloud in order that may hear the people when speak I with you and also in you they will trust for ever and he told Moses [the] words of the people to Yahweh.
Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose se, “Merebɛba wo nkyɛn sɛ omununkum sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ na me ne wo kasa a, nnipa no bɛte me nne na ɛnam so ama wɔagye wo adi daa.”
10 And he said Yahweh to Moses go to the people and you will consecrate them this day and tomorrow and they will wash clothes their.
Na Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose se, “Sian kɔ nnipa no nkyɛn na kɔtew wɔn ho nnɛ ne ɔkyena. Ma wɔnhoro wɔn nneɛma nyinaa,
11 And they will be prepared for the day third for - on the day third he will come down Yahweh to [the] eyes of all the people on [the] mountain of Sinai.
na siesie wo ho ma ɔkyena akyi efisɛ saa da no mesian aba Sinai Bepɔw no so a ɔmanfo nyinaa ani tua me.
12 And you will set a boundary for the people all around saying take heed to yourselves to go up on the mountain and to touch edge its every [one who] touches the mountain certainly he will be put to death.
Twitwa ahye sɛnea nnipa no rentra na ka kyerɛ wɔn se, ‘Monhwɛ yiye. Mommforo nkɔ bepɔw no atifi na monnkɔ nʼahye no nso so; obiara a obebu saa mmara yi so no, obewu.
13 Not it will touch him a hand for certainly he will be stoned to death or certainly he will be shot whether an animal or a human not it will live when sounds the ram's horn they they will go up on the mountain.
Sɛ ɔyɛ onipa anaa aboa a, obiara nso ne mu. Na mmom, wobesiw no abo anaasɛ wɔbɛtotow agyan awowɔ no ama wawu.’ Montwe mo ho mfi bepɔw no ho koraa kosi sɛ torobɛnto bi bɛhyɛn denneennen ansa na moaforo akɔ bepɔw no so.”
14 And he went down Moses from the mountain to the people and he consecrated the people and they washed clothes their.
Mose sian fii bepɔw no so kɔɔ nnipa no nkyɛn kɔtew wɔn ho ma wɔhoroo wɔn nneɛma nyinaa.
15 And he said to the people be prepared to three days may not you draw near to a woman.
Ɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Munsiesie mo ho, na aka nnansa na Onyankopɔn aba, enti obiara nnkɔ ɔbea ho.”
16 And it was on the day third when came the morning and it was thunder claps and lightning and a cloud heavy on the mountain and [the] sound of a ram's horn strong very and it trembled all the people which [was] in the camp.
Nnansa so anɔpa pɛpɛɛpɛ, aprannaa a ano yɛ den bobɔɔ mu, maa anyinam pepae, maa omununkum kabii bi sian fii bepɔw no so. Torobɛnto bi hyɛn twee mu maa nnipa a wɔwɔ hɔ no nyinaa ho popoe.
17 And he led out Moses the people to meet God from the camp and they stood at [the] lower part of the mountain.
Mose dii nnipa no anim fi wɔn atenae hɔ sɛ wɔrekohyia Onyankopɔn. Wɔn nyinaa kɔboaa wɔn ho ano wɔ bepɔw no ase.
18 And [the] mountain of Sinai it was smoking all of it because that he had come down on it Yahweh in fire and it went up smoke its like [the] smoke of furnace and it trembled all the mountain exceedingly.
Wusiw kumɔnn kataa Sinai Bepɔw no so, efisɛ Awurade sian baa so sɛ ogya. Wusiw buaa wim nyinaa te sɛ nea efi fononoo mu, na asasewosow wosoo bepɔw no denneennen.
19 And it was [the] sound of the ram's horn going and strong very Moses he spoke and God he answered him with a voice.
Torobɛnto no hyɛn denneennen pa ara no, Mose kasae na Onyankopɔn nso de nne kɛse buae.
20 And he came down Yahweh on [the] mountain of Sinai to [the] top of the mountain and he summoned Yahweh Moses to [the] top of the mountain and he went up Moses.
Enti Awurade baa Sinai Bepɔw no atifi, na ɔfrɛɛ Mose ma ɔforo kɔɔ ne nkyɛn
21 And he said Yahweh to Moses go down warn the people lest they should break through to Yahweh to see and it will fall of it many.
na Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose se, “San kɔ nnipa no nkyɛn na kɔbɔ wɔn kɔkɔ sɛ wɔnntra ahye no. Wɔnnyɛ wɔn adwene nso sɛ wɔreforo aba soro ha abɛhwɛ Awurade. Wɔn a wɔbɛyɛ saa no bewuwu.
22 And also the priests who draw near to Yahweh they will make themselves holy lest he should break out against them Yahweh.
Asɔfo a wɔwɔ wɔn nnwuma so no mpo nnwira wɔn ho, anyɛ saa a, Awurade bɛsɛe wɔn.”
23 And he said Moses to Yahweh not it is able the people to go up to [the] mountain of Sinai for you you warned us saying set a boundary for the mountain and you will consecrate it.
Mose nso buaa no se, “Nnipa no de, wɔremforo mma bepɔw no atifi, efisɛ wʼankasa bɔɔ wɔn kɔkɔ se, ‘Twitwa ahye fa bepɔw no ho na gyaw hɔ sɛ kronkronbea.’”
24 And he said to him Yahweh go go down and you will come up you and Aaron with you and the priests and the people may not they break through to come up to Yahweh lest he should break out against them.
Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose se, “Sian kɔ fam na kɔfa Aaron bra. Mma asɔfo no ne nnipa no ntra ahye no sɛ wɔreba ha. Wɔyɛ saa a, mɛsɛe wɔn.”
25 And he went down Moses to the people and he spoke to them.
Enti Mose sian kɔɔ nnipa no nkyɛn kɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn.
