Numbers 9
1 Yahweh spoke to Moses in the wilderness of Sinai, in the first month of the second year after they came out from the land of Egypt. He said,
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 “Let the people of Israel keep the Passover at its fixed time of year.
“Ɛsɛ sɛ afe biara mu bosome a ɛdi ɛkan no dadu nna ɛnan no, Israelfoɔ di Twam Afahyɛ no.
3 On the fourteenth day of this month, at evening, you must keep the Passover at its fixed time of year. You must keep it, follow all the regulations, and obey all the decrees that are related to it.”
Ɛsɛ sɛ wɔhyɛ afahyɛ no ase owiatɔberɛ. Ɛsɛ sɛ modi mmara biara a ɛfa saa afahyɛ yi die ho so.”
4 So, Moses told the people of Israel that they should keep the Festival of the Passover.
Enti Mose kaa sɛ, wɔbɛhyɛ Twam Afahyɛ no die ase ɛda a ɛtɔ so dunan no anwummerɛ
5 So they kept the Passover in the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month, at evening, in the wilderness of Sinai. The people of Israel obeyed everything that Yahweh commanded Moses to do.
wɔ Sinai asase pɔ no so sɛdeɛ Awurade ahyɛ no.
6 There were certain men who became unclean by the body of a dead man. They could not keep the Passover on that day. They went before Moses and Aaron on that same 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 Those men said to Moses, “We are unclean because of the dead body of a man. Why do you keep us from offering the sacrifice to Yahweh at the fixed time of year among the people 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 Moses said to them, “Wait for me to hear what Yahweh will instruct about you.”
Mose kaa sɛ ɔbɛbisa Awurade.
9 Yahweh spoke to Moses. He said,
Ɔbisaa Awurade no, mmuaeɛ a ɔnyaeɛ nie:
10 “Speak to the people of Israel. Say, 'If any of you or your descendants are unclean because of a dead body, or are on a long journey, he may still keep the Passover to Yahweh.'
“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 In the second month on the fourteenth day at evening, they will eat the Passover meal. They must eat the Passover lamb with bread that is made without yeast and with bitter herbs.
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 must not leave any of it until the morning, or break any of its bones. They must follow all the regulations for 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 But any person who is clean and is not on a journey, but who fails to keep the Passover, that person must be cut off from his people because he did not offer the sacrifice that Yahweh requires at the fixed time of year. That man must carry 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 If a stranger lives among you and keeps the Passover in Yahweh's honor, he must keep it and do all he commands, keeping the rules of the Passover, and obeying the laws for it. You must have the same law for the foreigner and for all who have been born in 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 On the day that the tabernacle was set up, the cloud covered the tabernacle, the tent of the covenant decrees. At evening the cloud was over the tabernacle. It appeared like fire 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 It continued that way. The cloud covered the tabernacle and appeared like fire at night.
Saa ara na ɛte ɛberɛ biara, na ɛduru anadwo a, omununkum no dane yɛ sɛ ogya.
17 Whenever the cloud was taken up from over the tent, the people of Israel would set out on their journey. Wherever the cloud stopped, the people would camp.
Omununkum no maa ne ho so no, Israelfoɔ no dii akyire kɔsii baabiara a ɛkɔ kɔgyinaeɛ ma wɔbɔɔ hɔ atenaeɛ.
18 At Yahweh's command, the people of Israel would travel, and at his command, they would camp. While the cloud stopped over the tabernacle, they would stay in their camp.
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 When the cloud remained on the tabernacle for many days, then the people of Israel would obey Yahweh's instructions and not travel.
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 Sometimes the cloud remained a few days on the tabernacle. In that case, they would obey Yahweh's command—they would make camp and then travel on again at his command.
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 Sometimes the cloud was present in camp from evening until morning. When the cloud lifted in the morning, they journeyed. If it continued for a day and for a night, only when the cloud lifted would they journey on.
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 the cloud stayed on the tabernacle for two days, a month, or a year, for as long as it stayed there, the people of Israel would stay in their camp and not travel. But whenever the cloud was taken up, they would set out on their 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 They would camp at Yahweh's command, and they would travel at his command. They obeyed Yahweh's command given through 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.
