Numbers 9
1 Yahweh spoke to Moses in the wilderness of Sinai, in the first month of the second year after they had come out of the land of Egypt, 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 “Let the children of Israel keep the Passover in its appointed season.
“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 shall keep it in its appointed season. You shall keep 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 Moses told the children of Israel that they should keep the Passover.
Enti Mose kaa sɛ, wɔbɛhyɛ Twam Afahyɛ no die ase ɛda a ɛtɔ so dunan no anwummerɛ
5 They kept the Passover in the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month at evening, in the wilderness of Sinai. According to all that Yahweh commanded Moses, so the children of Israel did.
wɔ Sinai asase pɔ no so sɛdeɛ Awurade ahyɛ no.
6 There were certain men who were unclean because of the dead body of a man, so that they could not keep the Passover on that day, and they came before Moses and 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 Those men said to him, “We are unclean because of the dead body of a man. Why are we kept back, that we may not offer the offering of Yahweh in its appointed season among the children 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 answered them, “Wait, that I may hear what Yahweh will command concerning you.”
Mose kaa sɛ ɔbɛbisa Awurade.
9 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
Ɔbisaa Awurade no, mmuaeɛ a ɔnyaeɛ nie:
10 “Say to the children of Israel, ‘If any man of you or of your generations is unclean by reason of a dead body, or is on a journey far away, he shall 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 shall keep it; they shall eat it with unleavened bread and 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 shall leave none of it until the morning, nor break a bone of it. According to all the statute of the Passover they shall keep it.
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 the man who is clean, and is not on a journey, and fails to keep the Passover, that soul shall be cut off from his people. Because he didn’t offer the offering of Yahweh in its appointed season, that man shall bear 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 foreigner lives among you and desires to keep the Passover to Yahweh, then he shall do so according to the statute of the Passover, and according to its ordinance. You shall have one statute, both for the foreigner and for him who is 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 raised up, the cloud covered the tabernacle, even the Tent of the Testimony. At evening it was over the tabernacle, as it were the appearance of 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 So it was continually. The cloud covered it, and the appearance of fire by 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, then after that the children of Israel traveled; and in the place where the cloud remained, there the children of Israel encamped.
Omununkum no maa ne ho so no, Israelfoɔ no dii akyire kɔsii baabiara a ɛkɔ kɔgyinaeɛ ma wɔbɔɔ hɔ atenaeɛ.
18 At the commandment of Yahweh, the children of Israel traveled, and at the commandment of Yahweh they encamped. As long as the cloud remained on the tabernacle they remained encamped.
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 stayed on the tabernacle many days, then the children of Israel kept Yahweh’s command, and didn’t 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 was a few days on the tabernacle; then according to the commandment of Yahweh they remained encamped, and according to the commandment of Yahweh they traveled.
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 from evening until morning; and when the cloud was taken up in the morning, they traveled; or by day and by night, when the cloud was taken up, they traveled.
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 it was two days, or a month, or a year that the cloud stayed on the tabernacle, remaining on it, the children of Israel remained encamped, and didn’t travel; but when it was taken up, they traveled.
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 At the commandment of Yahweh they encamped, and at the commandment of Yahweh they traveled. They kept Yahweh’s command, at the commandment of Yahweh by 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.
