2 Mose 24

1 Afei, Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose se, “Wo ne Aaron, Nadab, Abihu ne Israelfo mpanyimfo aduɔson mforo mmra ha. Mo nyinaa, momma me ne mo ntam ntwe na monsom me.

And unto Moses, he said—Come up unto Yahweh—thou, and Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel, so shall ye bow yourselves down from afar.

2 Mose nko ara na ɔbɛbɛn Awurade; na monkae nso sɛ, ɛnsɛ sɛ wɔn a wɔaka no twiw bɛn bepɔw no koraa.”

And Moses alone shall draw near unto Yahweh, but, they shall not draw near, and, the people, shall not come up with him.

3 Mose kaa mmara a Awurade hyɛɛ no no nyinaa kyerɛɛ nnipa no ma wɔn nyinaa bɔ gyee so se, “Yebedi ne nyinaa so.”

So Moses came, and recounted to the people all the words of Yahweh, and all the regulations, and all the people responded with one voice and said, All the words which Yahweh hath spoken, will we do.

4 Mose kyerɛw Awurade mmara no nyinaa guu hɔ. Ade kyee anɔpa no, osii afɔremuka wɔ bepɔw no ase. Ɔde adum dumien twaa ho hyiae, efisɛ na Israel mmusuakuw no yɛ dumien.

Then wrote Moses all the words of Yahweh, and rose up early in the morning, and builded an altar, under the mountain, and twelve pillars, for the twelve tribes of Israel:

5 Afei, ɔsomaa mmabun a wɔwɔ wɔn mu no bi sɛ wɔnkɔbɔ ɔhyew afɔre ne asomdwoe afɔre mma Awurade.

and he sent young men of the sons of Israel, and they caused to go up, ascending-sacrifices, —and slew peace-offerings to Yahweh, of oxen.

6 Mose sɔn mmoa no mogya no fa de guu nkankyee mu, na ɔtow fa a aka no petee afɔremuka no so.

Then took Moses half of the blood, and put it in basins, and half of the blood, dashed he over the altar:

7 Ɔkenkan nhoma a wakyerɛw a ɛyɛ Apam Nhoma a Awurade akwankyerɛ ne ne mmara wɔ mu no kyerɛɛ nnipa no. Nnipa no bɔ gyee so bio se, “Yɛhyɛ bɔ sɛ, yebedi mmara no nyinaa so.”

then took he the book of the covenant, and read in the ears of the people. And they said, All that Yahweh hath spoken, will we do, and will hearken,

8 Afei, Mose de mogya a ɛwɔ nkankye no mu no petee nnipa no so kae se, “Saa mogya yi hyɛ apam a mo ne Awurade ayɛ ne mmara a ɔde ama mo no mu den.”

Then Moses took the blood, and dashed over the people, and said, Lo! the blood of the covenant which Yahweh hath solemnised with you, over all these words.

9 Mose, Aaron, Nadab, Abihu ne Israelfo mpanyimfo aduɔson no foro kɔɔ bepɔw no so

Then went up Moses and Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel;

10 na wohuu Israel Nyankopɔn. Na nʼanan ntiaso hyerɛn te sɛ hoabo a ne hyerɛn te sɛ wim ahosu.

and they saw the God of Israel, —and under his feet, like a pavement of sapphire, and like the very heavens for brightness; and

11 Ɛwɔ mu sɛ mpanyimfo no huu Onyankopɔn de, nanso wansɛe wɔn. Nokwarem, wɔn nyinaa bɔɔ mu didii wɔ Awurade anim.

against the nobles of the sons of Israel, put he not forth his hand, —so then they had vision of God, and did eat and drink,

12 Na Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose se, “Foro bra me nkyɛn wɔ bepɔw so ha na tena ha, na mede mmaransɛm a makyerɛw agu ɔbo so no bɛma wo, na woafa so akyerɛkyerɛ nnipa no.”

Then said Yahweh unto Moses—Come thou up unto me in the mountain and remain thou there, —for I must give thee tables of stone and the law and the commandment, which I have written to direct them.

13 Enti Mose ne ne boafo Yosua foro kɔɔ Onyankopɔn bepɔw no so.

And Moses rose up, and Joshua his attendant, and Moses went up into the mountain of God;

14 Ɔka kyerɛɛ mpanyimfo no se, “Montena ha ntwɛn yɛn kosi sɛ yɛbɛba. Sɛ asɛm bi kyere obi so a, obetumi akɔ Aaron ne Hur nkyɛn.”

but, unto the elders, he said—Tarry for us here, until we return unto you. And lo! Aaron and Hur, are with you, he that hath a cause, let him draw near unto them.

15 Mose foro kɔɔ bepɔw no so hɔ na ɔyeraa wɔ omununkum mu.

So then Moses wont up into the mountain, —and the cloud covered the mountain.

16 Na Awurade anuonyam hyɛɛ Sinai bepɔw no so ma. Na omununkum sii bepɔw no so nnansia. Ne nnanson so no, ɔfrɛɛ Mose fii omununkum no mu.

And the glory of Yahweh rested upon Mount Sinai, and the cloud covered it six days, —then called he unto Moses on the seventh day, out of the midst of the cloud.

17 Wɔn a wɔwɔ bepɔw no ase no huu anwonwade no. Na Awurade anuonyam a ɛwɔ bepɔw no so no te sɛ ogya a ɛredɛw.

And the appearance of the glory of Yahweh was like a consuming fire on the top of the mountain, —in the sight of the sons of Israel.

18 Na Mose yeraa wɔ bepɔw no so mununkum no mu. Odii bepɔw no so adaduanan.

And Moses entered into the midst of the cloud and ascended into the mountain. And it came to pass that Moses was in the mountain forty days and forty nights.
