2 Mose 25

1 Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose se,

And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

2 “Ka kyerɛ Israelfo no se, wɔmmɔ afɔre mma me.

Speak to the children of Israel, that they bring firstfruits to me: of every man that offereth of his own accord, you shall take them.

3 “Saa nneɛma a edidi so yi mu na womfi mmɔ me afɔre no: “sikakɔkɔɔ, dwetɛ, kɔbere,

And these are the things you must take: gold, and silver, and brass,

4 ntama tuntum, koogyan bibiri tam; koogyan tam, sirikyi, abirekyi ho nwi,

Violet and purple, and scarlet twice dyed, and fine linen, and goats’ hair,

And rams’ skins dyed red, and violet skins, and setim wood:

Oil to make lights: spices for ointment, and for sweetsmelling incense:

7 abo a nʼahosu te sɛ apopobibiri, abo a wɔde betuatua asɔfotade ne nkatabo mu.

Onyx stones, and precious stones to adorn the ephod and the rational.

8 “Afei monyɛ kronkronbea mma me, na mɛtena wɔn mu.

And they shall make me a sanctuary, and I will dwell in the midst of them:

9 Monyɛ ntamadan yi ne ne nsiesiemu nyinaa sɛnea mɛkyerɛ mo no pɛpɛɛpɛ.

According to all the likeness of the tabernacle which I will shew thee, and of all the vessels for the service thereof: and thus you shall make it:

10 “Momfa ɔkanto dua nyɛ Apam Adaka a ne ntwemu yɛ anammɔn abiɛsa ne fa, ne trɛw nyɛ anammɔn abien ne fa na ne sorokɔ nso nyɛ anammɔn abien ne fa.

Frame an ark of setim wood, the length whereof shall be of two cubits and a half: the breadth, a cubit and a half: the height, likewise, a cubit and a half.

11 Na momfa sikakɔkɔɔ ankasa nnura ho ne mu nyinaa.

And thou shalt overlay it with the purest gold within and without: and over it thou shalt make a golden crown round about:

12 Momfa sikakɔkɔɔ nkaa anan nhyehyɛ adaka no anan anan no ho, wɔ fam pɛɛ. Ma nkaa no abien nkɔ ɔfa baako na abien a aka no nso nkɔ fa.

And four golden rings, which thou shall put at the four corners of the ark: let two rings be on the one side, and two on the other.

13 Fa ɔkanto sen mmaa, na fa sikakɔkɔɔ duradura ho.

Thou shalt make bars also of setim wood, and shalt overlay them with gold.

14 Fa mmaa no hyehyɛ nkaa no mu na wɔde asoa apam adaka no.

And thou shalt put them in through the rings that are in the sides of the ark, that it may be carried on them.

15 Munnyiyi nnua a wɔde soa adaka no mfi nkaa no mu. Momma ɛnhyehyɛ mu afebɔɔ.

And they shall be always in the rings, neither shall they at any time be drawn out of them.

16 Muwie adaka no a, momfa ɔbo a makyerɛw Mmaransɛm Du no agu so no nto mu.

And thou shalt put in the ark the testimony which I will give thee.

17 “Momfa sikakɔkɔɔ nyɛ adaka no ti a ne ntwemu yɛ basafa abien ne fa na ne trɛw nso yɛ anammɔn abien ne kakra. Ɛha ne baabi a mubenya mo bɔne so ahummɔbɔ afi.

Thou shalt make also a propitiatory of the purest gold: the length thereof shall be two cubits and a half, and the breadth a cubit and a half.

20 Kerubim a wɔyɛ abɔfo no bedi nhwɛanim a wɔasisi wɔn ti ase rehwɛ mpata agua no na wɔatrɛtrɛw wɔn ntaban mu akata so.

Let them cover both sides of the propitiatory, spreading their wings, and covering the oracle, and let them look one towards the other, their faces being turned towards the propitiatory wherewith the ark is to be covered.

21 Momfa ɔbo kyerɛwpon a mede bɛma mo no nto adaka no mu, na momfa ne ti no nkata so.

In which thou shalt put the testimony that I will give thee.

22 Na mehyia mo wɔ hɔ na makasa afi mpata agua wɔ soro hɔ afa abɔfo no ntam. Na adaka no mu na wɔbɛkora mʼapam no ho mmara. Ɛhɔ na mɛda me mmaransɛm a mode bɛma Israelfo no adi akyerɛ mo.

Thence will I give orders, and will speak to thee over the propitiatory, and from the midst of the two cherubims, which shall be upon the ark of the testimony, all things which I will command the children of Israel by thee.

23 “Momfa ɔkanto dua nyɛ ɔpon a ne ntwemu mu yɛ anammɔn abiɛsa, ne trɛw yɛ ɔnammɔn baako ne fa na ne sorokɔ yɛ anammɔn abien ne fa.

Thou shalt make a table also of setim wood, of two cubits in length, and a cubit in breadth, and a cubit and half in height.

24 Momfa sikakɔkɔɔ nnura ho na momfa sikakɔkɔɔ hankare ntwa ho nhyia.

And thou shalt overlay it with the purest gold: and thou shalt make to it a golden ledge round about.

25 Yɛ adaka no ho ntetareho a ne trɛw yɛ nsateaa anan twa ɔpon no ano ho hyia, na fa sikakɔkɔɔ hankare fa ho.

And to the ledge itself a polished crown, four inches high: and over the same another little golden crown.

Thou shalt prepare also four golden rings, and shalt put them in the four corners of the same table over each foot.

27 twɔtwɔw so wɔ soro. Wɔde nnua no bɛhyehyɛ saa nkaa a wɔde bɛma ɔpon no so asoa no mu.

Under the crown shall the golden rings be, that the bars may be put through them, and the table may be carried.

28 Fa ɔkanto yɛ nnua no, na fa sikakɔkɔɔ dura ho.

The bars also themselves thou shalt make of setim wood, and shalt overlay them with gold to bear up the table.

29 Momfa sikakɔkɔɔ nyɛ nsanka, mprɛte, ntere, nhina ne nsatoa.

Thou shalt prepare also dishes, and bowls, censers, and cups, wherein the libations are to be offered of the purest gold.

And thou shalt set upon the table loaves of proposition in my sight always.

31 “Momfa sikakɔkɔɔ a wɔaboro nyɛ kaneadua. Kaneadua no ase, nʼabaa, akanea no nhwiren ne ɛho asiesie no nyinaa nyɛ ade baako.

Thou shalt make also a candlestick of beaten work of the finest gold, the shaft thereof, and the branches, the cups, and the bowls, and the lilies going forth from it.

32 Kaneadua a ɛhyɛ mfimfini no benya nkorata asia a abiɛsa wɔ fa na abiɛsa nso wɔ fa.

Six branches shall come out of the sides, three out of the one side, and three out of the other.

33 Momfa nhwiren abiɛsa nsiesie nkorata biara ho.

Three cups as it were nuts to every branch, and a bowl withal, and a lily; and three cups, likewise of the fashion of nuts in the other branch, and a bowl withal, and a lily. Such shall be the work of the six branches, that are to come out from the shaft:

34 Na kaneadua no, momfa nhwiren a ɛyɛ fɛ nni adwinni mfa nsiesie no.

And in the candlestick itself shall be four cups in the manner of a nut, and at every one, bowls and lilies.

35 Nhwiren no bi bɛwɔ ne dua no ase wɔ nkorata abien biara ase. Afei, nhwiren no bi bɛwɔ nkorata abien a ɛwɔ ase no ase, na bi nso bɛwɔ nkorata abien a ɛwɔ soro no so.

Bowls under two branches in three places, which together make six coming forth out of one shaft.

36 Saa nneɛma a wɔde siesie kaneadua no ne ne nkorabata no nyinaa nyɛ ade baako a wɔde sikakɔkɔɔ ankasa a wɔaboro ayɛ.

And both the bowls and the branches shall be of the same beaten work of the purest gold.

37 “Monyɛ akanea dua ntuatuaho ason wɔ kaneadua no ho wɔ ɔkwan bi so a ne hyerɛn no bɛtow hann agu nʼanim.

Thou shalt make also seven lamps, and shalt set them upon the candlestick, to give light over against.

38 Kanea ntamabamma adabaw no ne ne mpampaa no nso, momfa sikakɔkɔɔ ankasa nyɛ.

The snuffers also and where the snuffings shall be put out, shall be made of the purest gold.

The whole weight of the candlestick with all the furniture thereof shall be a talent of the purest gold.

Look and make it according to the pattern, that was shewn thee in the mount.
