2 Mose 19
1 Anadwo a Israelfo no tu fii Misraim no, nʼasram abiɛsa so na wɔde koduu Sinai sare so.
In the third moneth, after the children of Israel were gone out of the lande of Egypt, the same day came they into the wildernes of Sinai.
2 Wotu fii Refidim no, wokoduu Sinai sare so na wɔbɔɔ atenase wɔ Sinai Bepɔw no ase.
For they departed from Rephidim, and came to the desart of Sinai, and camped in the wildernesse: euen there Israel camped before the mount.
3 Mose foro kɔɔ Onyankopɔn nkyɛn na Awurade frɛɛ no fii bepɔw no so kae se, “Ka saa nsɛm yi kyerɛ Yakob asefo Israelman se,
But Moses went vp vnto God, for ye Lord had called out of the mount vnto him, saying, Thus shalt thou say to the house of Iaakob, and tell the children of Israel,
4 ‘Moahu nea meyɛɛ Misraimfo no ne ɔkwan a mefaa so soaa mo wɔ ɔkɔre ntaban so de mo baa me nkyɛn no.
Ye haue seene what I did vnto the Egyptians, and how I caryed you vpon eagles wings, and haue brought you vnto me.
5 Sɛ mubetie me, na moadi mʼahyɛde so a, mobɛyɛ me nguankuw ketewa wɔ asase so aman nyinaa mu, efisɛ asase nyinaa yɛ me dea.
Now therefore if ye wil heare my voyce in deede, and keepe my couenant, then ye shalbe my chiefe treasure aboue all people, though all the earth be mine.
6 Na mobɛyɛ asɔfo ahemman a ɛyɛ ɔman kronkron ama Onyankopɔn.’ Saa nsɛm yi na ka kyerɛ Israelfo no.”
Yee shall be vnto mee also a kingdome of Priestes, and an holy nation. These are the words which thou shalt speake vnto the children of Israel.
7 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.
Moses then came and called for the Elders of the people, and proposed vnto them all these things, which the Lord commanded him.
8 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.
And the people answered all together, and sayd, All that the Lord hath commanded, we will doe. And Moses reported the wordes of the people vnto the Lord.
9 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.”
And the Lord sayd vnto Moses, Lo, I come vnto thee in a thicke cloude, that the people may heare, whiles I talke with thee, and that they may also beleeue thee for euer. (for Moses had tolde the wordes of the people vnto the Lord)
10 Na Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose se, “Sian kɔ nnipa no nkyɛn na kɔtew wɔn ho nnɛ ne ɔkyena. Ma wɔnhoro wɔn nneɛma nyinaa,
Moreouer, the Lord sayd vnto Moses, Goe to the people, and sanctifie them to day and to morow, and let them wash their clothes.
11 na siesie wo ho ma ɔkyena akyi efisɛ saa da no mesian aba Sinai Bepɔw no so a ɔmanfo nyinaa ani tua me.
And let them be ready on the third day: for the thirde day the Lord will come downe in the sight of all the people vpon mount Sinai:
12 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.
And thou shalt set markes vnto the people rounde about, saying, Take heede to your selues that ye goe not vp the mount, nor touche the border of it: whosoeuer toucheth the mount, shall surely die.
13 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.”
No hand shall touche it, but he shalbe stoned to death, or striken through with darts: whether it be beast or man, he shall not liue: when the horne bloweth long, they shall come vp into the mountaine.
14 Mose sian fii bepɔw no so kɔɔ nnipa no nkyɛn kɔtew wɔn ho ma wɔhoroo wɔn nneɛma nyinaa.
Then Moses went downe from ye mount vnto the people, and sanctified the people, and they washed their clothes.
15 Ɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Munsiesie mo ho, na aka nnansa na Onyankopɔn aba, enti obiara nnkɔ ɔbea ho.”
And he said vnto the people, Be ready on the third day, and come not at your wiues.
16 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.
And the thirde day, when it was morning, there was thunders and lightnings, and a thicke cloude vpon the mount, and the sounde of the trumpet exceeding loude, so that all the people, that was in the campe, was afrayde.
17 Mose dii nnipa no anim fi wɔn atenae hɔ sɛ wɔrekohyia Onyankopɔn. Wɔn nyinaa kɔboaa wɔn ho ano wɔ bepɔw no ase.
Then Moses brought the people out of the tents to meete with God, and they stoode in the nether part of the mount.
18 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.
And mount Sinai was all on smoke, because the Lord came downe vpon it in fire, and the smoke therof ascended, as the smoke of a fornace, and all the mount trembled exceedingly.
19 Torobɛnto no hyɛn denneennen pa ara no, Mose kasae na Onyankopɔn nso de nne kɛse buae.
And when the sound of the trumpet blew long, and waxed louder and louder, Moses spake, and God answered him by voyce.
20 Enti Awurade baa Sinai Bepɔw no atifi, na ɔfrɛɛ Mose ma ɔforo kɔɔ ne nkyɛn
(For the Lord came downe vpon mount Sinai on the toppe of the mount) and when the Lord called Moses vp into the top of the mount, Moses went vp.
21 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.
Then the Lord said vnto Moses, Go down, charge the people, that they breake not their boundes, to go vp to the Lord to gaze, least many of them perish.
22 Asɔfo a wɔwɔ wɔn nnwuma so no mpo nnwira wɔn ho, anyɛ saa a, Awurade bɛsɛe wɔn.”
And let the Priestes also which come to the Lord be sanctified, least the Lord destroy them.
23 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.’”
And Moses sayde vnto the Lord, The people can not come vp into the mount Sinai: for thou hast charged vs, saying, Set markes on the mountaine, and sanctifie it.
24 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.”
And the Lord sayd vnto him, Go, get thee downe, and come vp, thou, and Aaron with thee: but let not the Priestes and the people breake their boundes to come vp vnto the Lord, least he destroy them.
25 Enti Mose sian kɔɔ nnipa no nkyɛn kɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn.
So Moses went downe vnto the people, and tolde them.
