Exodus 19
1 In the third month of the going out of the sons of Israel from the land of Egypt, in this day they have come into the wilderness of Sinai,
Anadwo a Israelfo no tu fii Misraim no, nʼasram abiɛsa so na wɔde koduu Sinai sare so.
2 and they journey from Rephidim, and enter the wilderness of Sinai, and encamp in the wilderness; and Israel encampeth there before the mount.
Wotu fii Refidim no, wokoduu Sinai sare so na wɔbɔɔ atenase wɔ Sinai Bepɔw no ase.
3 And Moses hath gone up unto God, and Jehovah calleth unto him out of the mount, saying, 'Thus dost thou say to the house of Jacob, and declare to the sons 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 Ye — ye have seen that which I have done to the Egyptians, and I bear you on eagles' wings, and bring you in unto 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 now, if ye really hearken to My voice, then ye have kept My covenant, and been to Me a peculiar treasure more than all the peoples, for all the earth [is] Mine;
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 ye — ye are to Me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation: these [are] the words which thou dost speak unto the sons of Israel.'
Na mobɛyɛ asɔfo ahemman a ɛyɛ ɔman kronkron ama Onyankopɔn.’ Saa nsɛm yi na ka kyerɛ Israelfo no.”
7 And Moses cometh, and calleth for the elders of the people, and setteth before them all these words which Jehovah hath commanded him;
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 all the people answer together and say, 'All that Jehovah hath spoken we do;' and Moses returneth the words of the people unto Jehovah.
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 Jehovah saith unto Moses, 'Lo, I am coming unto thee in the thickness of the cloud, so that the people hear in My speaking with thee, and also believe in thee to the age;' and Moses declareth the words of the people unto Jehovah.
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 Jehovah saith unto Moses, 'Go unto the people; and thou hast sanctified them to-day and to-morrow, and they have washed their garments,
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 have been prepared for the third day; for on the third day doth Jehovah come down before the eyes of all the people, on mount 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 thou hast made a border [for] the people round about, saying, Take heed to yourselves, going up into the mount, or coming against its extremity; whoever is coming against the mount is certainly 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 a hand cometh not against him, for he is certainly stoned or shot through, whether beast or man it liveth not; in the drawing out of the jubilee cornet they go up into the mount.'
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 Moses cometh down from the mount unto the people, and sanctifieth the people, and they wash their garments;
Mose sian fii bepɔw no so kɔɔ nnipa no nkyɛn kɔtew wɔn ho ma wɔhoroo wɔn nneɛma nyinaa.
15 and he saith unto the people, 'Be ye prepared for the third day, come not nigh unto a woman.'
Ɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Munsiesie mo ho, na aka nnansa na Onyankopɔn aba, enti obiara nnkɔ ɔbea ho.”
16 And it cometh to pass, on the third day, while it is morning, that there are voices, and lightnings, and a heavy cloud, on the mount, and the sound of a trumpet very strong; and all the people who [are] in the camp do tremble.
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 Moses bringeth out the people to meet God from the camp, and they station themselves at the lower part of the mount,
Mose dii nnipa no anim fi wɔn atenae hɔ sɛ wɔrekohyia Onyankopɔn. Wɔn nyinaa kɔboaa wɔn ho ano wɔ bepɔw no ase.
18 and mount Sinai [is] wholly a smoke from the presence of Jehovah, who hath come down on it in fire, and its smoke goeth up as smoke of the furnace, and the whole mount trembleth 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 the sound of the trumpet is going on, and very strong; Moses speaketh, and God doth answer him with a voice.
Torobɛnto no hyɛn denneennen pa ara no, Mose kasae na Onyankopɔn nso de nne kɛse buae.
20 And Jehovah cometh down on mount Sinai, unto the top of the mount, and Jehovah calleth for Moses unto the top of the mount, and Moses goeth up.
Enti Awurade baa Sinai Bepɔw no atifi, na ɔfrɛɛ Mose ma ɔforo kɔɔ ne nkyɛn
21 And Jehovah saith unto Moses, 'Go down, protest to the people, lest they break through unto Jehovah to see, and many of them have fallen;
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 are coming nigh unto Jehovah do sanctify themselves, lest Jehovah break forth on them.'
Asɔfo a wɔwɔ wɔn nnwuma so no mpo nnwira wɔn ho, anyɛ saa a, Awurade bɛsɛe wɔn.”
23 And Moses saith unto Jehovah, 'The people [is] unable to come up unto mount Sinai, for Thou — Thou hast protested to us, saying, Make a border [for] the mount, then thou hast sanctified 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 Jehovah saith unto him, 'Go, descend, then thou hast come up, thou, and Aaron with thee; and the priests and the people do not break through, to come up unto Jehovah, lest He break forth upon 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 Moses goeth down unto the people, and saith unto them: —
Enti Mose sian kɔɔ nnipa no nkyɛn kɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn.
