For six days he made Yahweh the heavens and the earth the sea and all that [is] in them and he rested on the day seventh there-fore he blessed Yahweh [the] day of the sabbath and he set apart as holy it.

And all the people [were] seeing the thunder claps and the lightning and [the] sound of the ram's horn and the mountain smoking and it saw the people and they trembled and they stood from a distance.
19 Wɔka kyerɛɛ Mose se, “Ka asɛm biara a Onyankopɔn aka akyerɛ wo sɛ ka kyerɛ yɛn, na yebetie. Na mma Onyankopɔn ankasa nkasa nkyerɛ yɛn na yɛanwuwu.”
And they said to Moses speak you with us so let us listen and may not he speak with us God lest we should die.
20 Mose nso ka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Munnsuro na Onyankopɔn pɛ sɛ ɔda ne tumi adi kyerɛ mo sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a, efi nnɛ rekɔ no, mubesuro sɛ mobɛyɛ bɔne atia no.”
And he said Moses to the people may not you be afraid for in order to put to [the] test you he has come God and in order that may be fear his on faces your to not you will sin.
21 Nanso, nnipa no tew wɔn ho gyinaa akyirikyiri baabi. Mose de, owuraa sum kabii no mu kɔɔ faako a Onyankopɔn wɔ hɔ no.
And it stood the people from a distance and Moses he drew near to the thick darkness where [was] there God.
22 Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose se, “Ka saa asɛm yi kyerɛ Israelfo no. ‘Mudi ho adanse sɛ, mifi ɔsoro ada me pɛ adi akyerɛ mo.
And he said Yahweh to Moses thus you will say to [the] people of Israel you you have seen that from the heavens I have spoken with you.
23 Monkae sɛ ɛnsɛ sɛ moyɛ anaa mosom ahoni a wɔde sika anaa dwetɛ anaa biribi foforo ayɛ.
Not you must make! with me gods of silver and gods of gold not you must make for yourselves.
24 “‘Dɔte afɔremuka na monyɛ mma me. Ɛso na mommɔ mo afɔre mma me. Mo ɔhyew afɔre ne asomdwoe afɔre a mode nguan ne anantwi bɔ no nyinaa mommɔ mma me. Faako a mɛkyerɛ mo sɛ munsi afɔremuka no na munsi na mɛba hɔ abehyira mo.
An altar of earth you will make for me and you will sacrifice on it burnt offerings your and peace offerings your sheep your and cattle your in every place where I will cause to be remembered name my I will come to you and I will bless you.
25 Mutumi de abo nso si afɔremuka, nanso abo a wontwae na momfa nsi. Sɛ mode afiri bi twa abo no di no adwinni a, enye sɛ wɔde si, efisɛ moagu ho fi.
And if an altar of stones you will make for me not you must build them hewn [stone] for tool your you have wielded on it and you have profaned it.

And not you must go up on steps to altar my that not it will be uncovered nakedness your on it.
