2 Mose 25

1 Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose se,

And YHWH speaks to Moses, saying,

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

“Speak to the sons of Israel, and they take a raised-offering for Me; you take My raised-offering from every man whose heart impels him.

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

And this [is] the raised-offering which you take from them: gold, and silver, and bronze,

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

and blue, and purple, and scarlet, and linen, and goats’ [hair],

5 odwennini nhoma a wɔahyɛ no kɔkɔɔ, mmirekyi nhoma, ɔkanto dua,

and rams’ skins made red, and tachashim skins, and shittim wood,

6 kanea ngo, ɔsra ngo, nnuhuam a wɔhyewee,

oil for the light, spices for the anointing oil, and for the incense of the spices,

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

shoham stones, and stones for setting for an ephod, and for a breastplate.

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

And they have made a sanctuary for Me, and I have dwelt in their midst;

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

according to all that which I am showing you, the pattern of the Dwelling Place, and the pattern of all its vessels, even so you 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.

And they have made an ark of shittim wood; two cubits and a half its length, and a cubit and a half its breadth, and a cubit and a half its height;

11 Na momfa sikakɔkɔɔ ankasa nnura ho ne mu nyinaa.

and you have overlaid it [with] pure gold, you overlay it inside and outside, and you have made a ring of gold on it all around.

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 you have cast four rings of gold for it, and have put [them] on its four feet, even two rings on its one side, and two rings on its second side;

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

and you have made poles of shittim wood, and have overlaid them [with] gold,

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

and have brought the poles into the rings on the sides of the Ark, to carry the Ark by them;

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

the poles are in the rings of the Ark, they are not turned aside from it;

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

and you have put the Testimony which I give to you into the Ark.

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.

And you have made a propitiatory covering of pure gold, two cubits and a half its length, and a cubit and a half its breadth;

18 Momfa sikakɔkɔɔ a wɔaboro nyɛ kerubim abien. Momfa ɔbaako nsi adaka no nkataso atifi na momfa ɔbaako nsi anafo.

and you have made two cherubim of gold; you make them beaten work at the two ends of the propitiatory covering;

19 Fa kerubim no tetare adaka no ti ne nʼanafo na ɛne adaka no nkataso no nyɛ mua.

and make one cherub at the end on this [side] and one cherub at the end on that [side]; at the propitiatory covering you make the cherubim on its two ends.

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

And the cherubim have been spreading out wings on high, covering over the propitiatory covering with their wings, and their faces [are] toward one another—the faces of the cherubim are toward the propitiatory covering.

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

And you have put the propitiatory covering on the Ark above, and you put the Testimony which I give to you into the Ark;

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.

and I have met with you there, and have spoken with you from off the propitiatory covering (from between the two cherubim, which [are] on the Ark of the Testimony) all that which I command you concerning the sons of Israel.

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.

And you have made a table of shittim wood, two cubits its length, and a cubit its breadth, and a cubit and a half its height,

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

and have overlaid it [with] pure gold, and have made a crown of gold for it all around,

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 have made a border of a handbreadth for it all around, and have made a crown of gold for its border all around.

26 Yɛ sikakɔkɔɔ nkaa anan na fa nkaa anan no tuatua nʼanan anan no biara akyi

And you have made four rings of gold for it, and have put the rings on the four corners, which [are] at its four feet;

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

close by the border are the rings for places for poles to carry the table;

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

and you have made the poles of shittim wood, and have overlaid them with gold, and the table has been carried with them;

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

and you have made its dishes, and its bowls, and its covers, and its cups, with which they pour out; you make them of pure gold;

30 Da biara, fa brodo to ɔpon no so wɔ mʼanim.

and you have put Bread of the Presentation on the table before Me continually.

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

And you have made a lampstand of pure gold; the lampstand is made of beaten work; its base, and its branch, its calyxes, its knobs, and its flowers are of the same;

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

and six branches are coming out of its sides, three branches of the lampstand out of the first side, and three branches of the lampstand out of the second side;

33 Momfa nhwiren abiɛsa nsiesie nkorata biara ho.

three calyxes made like almonds in one branch, a knob and a flower, and three calyxes made like almonds in one branch, a knob and a flower—so for the six branches which are coming out from the lampstand.

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

And in the lampstand [are] four calyxes made like almonds, its knobs and its flowers;

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.

and a knob under two branches of the same, and a knob under two branches of the same, and a knob under two branches of the same, for the six branches which are coming out of the lampstand;

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

their knobs and their branches are of the same, all of it one beaten work of pure gold;

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

and you have made its seven lamps, and [one] has caused its lamps to go up, and it has given light over [and] beyond its front.

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

And its snuffers and its snuff dishes [are] of pure gold;

39 Sikakɔkɔɔ kilogram aduasa anan na ɛho behia sɛ mode bɛyɛ kaneadua no ne ɛho nneɛma nyinaa.

he makes it of a talent of pure gold, with all these vessels.

40 Biribiara a mobɛyɛ no nso, monyɛ no pɛpɛɛpɛ sɛnea makyerɛ mo wɔ bepɔw so ha yi no.

Now see and make [them] by their pattern which you are shown on the mountain.”
