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.

Then Yahweh said to Moses, “Come up to me—you, Aaron, Nadab, Abihu, and seventy of Israel's elders, and worship me at a distance.

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

Moses alone may come near to me. The others must not come near, nor may the people 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.”

Moses went and told the people all of Yahweh's words and decrees. All the people answered with one voice and said, “We will do all the words that Yahweh has said.”

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 Moses wrote down all of Yahweh's words. Early in the morning, Moses built an altar at the foot of the mountain and arranged twelve stone pillars, so that the stones would represent the twelve tribes of Israel.

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

He sent some Israelite young men to offer burnt offerings and sacrifice fellowship offerings of oxen to Yahweh.

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

Moses took half of the blood and put it into basins; he sprinkled the other half onto 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.”

He took the book of the Covenant and read it aloud to the people. They said, “We will do all that Yahweh has spoken. We will be obedient.”

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 sprinkled it onto the people. He said, “This is the blood of the covenant that Yahweh has made with you by giving you this promise with all these words.”

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

Then Moses, Aaron, Nadab, Abihu, and seventy of Israel's elders went up the mountain.

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

They saw the God of Israel. Under his feet there was a pavement made of sapphire stone, as clear as the sky itself.

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

God did not lay a hand on the Israelite leaders. They saw God, and they ate and drank.

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.”

Yahweh said to Moses, “Come up to me on the mountain and stay there. I will give you the tablets of stone and the law and commandments that I have written, so that you may teach them.”

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

So Moses set out with his assistant Joshua and went up 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.”

Moses had said to the elders, “Stay here and wait for us until we come to you. Aaron and Hur are with you. If anyone has a dispute, let him go to them.”

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

So Moses went up the mountain, and the cloud covered it.

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.

Yahweh's glory settled on Mount Sinai, and the cloud covered it for six days. On the seventh day he called to Moses from within 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.

The appearance of Yahweh's glory was like a devouring fire on the top of the mountain in the eyes of the Israelites.

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

Moses entered the cloud and went up the mountain. He was up the mountain for forty days and forty nights.
