Numbers 10
1 Yahweh also told Moses/me,
Afei, Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose sɛ,
2 “[Tell someone to] make two trumpets by hammering each one from [one lump of] silver. Blow the trumpets to summon the people to come together and also to signal that they must move their tents [to a new location].
“Fa dwetɛ a wɔaboro yɛ ntotorobɛnto mmienu na wɔahyɛn de afrɛ nnipa no, na watu ntomadan no akɔ.
3 If both trumpets are blown, it means that everyone must gather together at the entrance of the Sacred Tent.
Sɛ wɔhyɛn ntotorobɛnto mmienu no a, nnipa no bɛhunu sɛ, ɛsɛ sɛ wɔboa wɔn ho ano wɔ Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no ano.
4 If only one trumpet is blown, it means that only the [twelve] leaders of the tribes must gather together.
Na sɛ wɔhyɛn baako pɛ a, na ɛkyerɛ sɛ Israel mmusua no mu mpanimfoɔ na ɛsɛ sɛ wɔba wo nkyɛn.
5 If the trumpets are blown loudly, the tribes that are to the east [of the Sacred Tent] should start to travel.
Sɛ mohyɛn de kyerɛ sɛ monkɔ mo anim a, mmusuakuo a wɔwɔ Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan apueeɛ fam no bɛtu wɔn atenaeɛ hɔ na wɔakɔ.
6 When the trumpets are blown loudly the second time, the tribes that are to the south should start to travel. The loud blasts on the trumpet will signal that they should start to travel.
Sɛ mohyɛn deɛ ɛtɔ so mmienu no a, mmusuakuo a wɔwɔ anafoɔ fam no bɛdi so. Monhyɛn no ntiantia mu mfa nkyerɛ sɛ wɔnkɔ.
7 When you want only to gather the people together, blow the trumpets, but do not blow them as loudly.
Na sɛ mofrɛ nnipa no ma wɔbɛhyia a, momfa ɛkwan foforɔ so nhyɛne ntotorobɛnto no.
8 “The priests who are descended from Aaron are the ones who should blow the trumpets. That is a regulation that will never be changed.
“Aaron mmammarima asɔfoɔ nko ara na wɔbɛma wɔn ɛkwan ama wɔahyɛn ntotorobɛnto no. Yei yɛ mmara a ɛbɛtena hɔ daa afiri awoɔ ntoatoasoɔ so akɔsi awoɔ ntoatoasoɔ so.
9 When you fight against enemies who attack you in your own land, tell the priests to blow the trumpets loudly. I, Yahweh, your God, will hear that, and I will rescue you from your enemies.
Sɛ moduru Bɔhyɛ Asase no so na mo ne mo atamfoɔ ko na mohyɛn ntotorobɛnto no a, Awurade, mo Onyankopɔn bɛtie mo na wagye mo afiri mo atamfoɔ nsam.
10 Also tell the priests to blow the trumpets when the people are happy, and at the festivals [each year], and at the times when they celebrate the new moon each month. Tell them to blow the trumpets when the people bring offerings that will be completely burned, and when they bring offerings to maintain fellowship with me. If they do that, it will help you to remember that I, Yahweh your God, [will help you].”
Anigyeberɛ mu nso, monhyɛn ntotorobɛnto no. Afe mu dapɔnna nso, monhyɛn. Bosome biara ahyɛaseɛ nso, monhyɛ mfa nnye mo ani wɔ ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ ne asomdwoeɛ afɔdeɛ ho. Sɛ moyɛ saa a, ɛbɛkae Onyankopɔn apam a ɔne mo apam no. Na mene Awurade mo Onyankopɔn.”
11 On the twentieth day of May in the second year [after the/we Israelis left Egypt], the cloud rose up from above the Sacred Tent.
Bosome a ɛtɔ so mmienu no ɛda a ɛtɔ so aduonu no a ɛyɛ mfeɛ mmienu a Israelfoɔ firii Misraim no, omununkum no pagyaa ne ho firii Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no so,
12 So we/the Israelis traveled from the Sinai Desert, and we/they continued traveling [north] until the cloud stopped in the Paran Desert.
enti Israelfoɔ no firii Sinai ɛserɛ so hɔ dii omununkum no akyi kɔsii sɛ ɛkɔgyinaa Paran ɛserɛ so.
13 That was the first time we/they moved, obeying the instructions that Yahweh had given to Moses/me to tell them.
Ɛberɛ a ɛsɛ sɛ wɔtu no duruiɛ no, Awurade nam Mose so ka kyerɛɛ wɔn.
14 The group that went first, carrying their flag/banner, was the group from the tribe of Judah. Nahshon, the son of Amminadab, was their leader.
Akwantuo no mu no, mmusua a wɔhyɛ Yuda abusuakuo no ase, a Aminadab babarima Nahson tua ano na ɔtu wɔn frankaa na wɔdi ɛkan.

16 The group from the tribe of Zebulun went next. Eliab, the son of Helon, was their leader.
Sebulon abusuakuo na wɔdi hɔ a Helon babarima Eliab na ɔdi wɔn anim.
17 Then they dismantled the Sacred Tent, and the descendants of Gershon and Merari carried it, and they went next.
Wɔtutuu Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no, na Gerson ne Merari mmusua a wɔfiri Lewifoɔ mu no soaa Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no dii wɔn afa wɔ santen no mu.
18 The group from the tribe of Reuben went next, carrying their flag. Elizur, the son of Shedeur, was their leader.

21 The group descended from Kohath was next. They carried the sacred items from the Sacred Tent. The Sacred Tent itself was set up at the new location before they arrived there.
Ɛnna Kohatfoɔ no nso na na wɔdi hɔ a wɔsoso kronkronbea hɔ nneɛma. Wɔduruu hɔ no, na wɔahyehyɛ Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no wɔ beaeɛ foforɔ hɔ dada.

25 The ones who went last were the group from the tribe of Dan, carrying their flag. Ahiezer, the son of Ammishaddai, was their leader.
Wɔn a na wɔtwa toɔ koraa no ne abusuakuo a na Dan abusuakuo frankaa di wɔn anim a na wɔn panin ne Amisadai babarima Ahieser no.
26 The group from the tribe of Asher went next. Pagiel, the son of Ocran, was their leader.

27 The group from the tribe of Naphtali went last. Ahira, the son of Enan, was their leader.
Ɛnna na Enan babarima Ahira nso di Naftali abusuakuo anim.
28 That was the order in which the groups of Israeli tribes traveled.
Saa nhyehyɛeɛ yi na mmusuakuo yi faa so tuu wɔn kwan no.
29 One day Moses/I said to his/my brother-in-law Hobab, the son of Reuel from the Midian people-group, “We are on the way to the place that Yahweh promised to give to us. Come with us, and we will take good care of you, because Yahweh has promised [to do] good things for us Israeli people.”
Ɛda bi, Mose ka kyerɛɛ nʼakonta Hobab, Midiani Reuel ba sɛ, “Yei nyinaa akyi no, yɛrekɔ Bɔhyɛ Asase no so. Bra na yɛnkɔ na yɛbɛhwɛ wo so yie; ɛfiri sɛ, Awurade ahyɛ Israelfoɔ bɔ a emu yɛ den!”
30 But Hobab replied, “No, I will not go with you. I want to return to my own land and to my own family.”
Nanso nʼakonta no buaa no sɛ, “Dabi, ɛsɛ sɛ mekɔ mʼasase so ne mʼabusuafoɔ nkyɛn.”
31 But Moses/I said, “Please do not leave us. You know the places where we can set up our tents in this desert, and you can guide us.
Mose srɛɛ sɛ, “Tena yɛn nkyɛn, ɛfiri sɛ, wo na wonim sɛdeɛ ɛserɛ so asetena teɛ enti wo ho bɛba mfasoɔ ama yɛn.
32 Come with us. We will share with you all the good things that Yahweh gives to us.”
Sɛ woba a, nneɛma pa a Awurade de bɛma yɛn no nyinaa, wobɛnya bi.”
33 [So Hobab agreed to go with them]. The Israelis left Sinai Mountain, [which they called] Yahweh’s Mountain, and they walked for three days. The [men carrying the] sacred chest went in front of the other people for those three days, and they kept looking for a place to set up their tents.
Wɔfiri Awurade Bepɔ so no, wɔnantee nnansa a Awurade Adaka no di wɔn anim sɛ wɔrekɔpɛ baabi a wɔbɛsoeɛ.
34 The cloud sent by Yahweh was over them every day.
Wɔfirii wɔn akwantuo no ase awia a wɔrekɔ no nyinaa na Awurade omununkum no di wɔn anim.
35 Each morning when the men who were carrying the sacred chest started to walk, Moses/I said, “Yahweh, arise! Scatter your enemies! Cause those who hate you to run away from you!”
Wɔmaa adaka no so kɔɔ wɔn anim kakra no, Mose teaam sɛ, “Ao, Awurade, sɔre! Na hwete wʼatamfoɔ; ma wɔn nyinaa nnwane mfiri wʼanim.”
36 And each time the men [stopped to] set down the sacred chest, Moses/I said, “Yahweh, stay close to the thousands of us Israelis!”
Wɔsoɛɛ adaka no, ɔkaa sɛ, “Ao, Awurade, sane bra Israelfoɔ ɔpepe no mu.”
