2 Mose 26
1 “Fa asaawa a ɛyɛ fɛ a woafura bamma du ne ntama a wɔahyɛ no aduru tuntum, ɔtam bibiri, koogyan a wɔanwen kerubim sɛso agu mu si Ahyiae Ntamadan no.
“[Tell the people to] make the Sacred Tent using ten long strips of fine linen. They must take blue, purple, and red thread (OR, weave the strips from blue, purple, and red thread), and [a skilled craftsman] must embroider these strips with [designs that represent] the winged creatures [that are above the chest].
2 Ɛsɛ sɛ nkataano du no nyinaa kɛse yɛ pɛ. Emu biara tenten yɛ anammɔn aduanan abien na ne trɛw nso yɛ anammɔn asia.
Each strip is to be (14 yards/twelve meters) long and (2 yards/1.8 meters) wide.
3 Mompam saa ntama no anum mmɔ mu mma ɛnyɛ baako. Anum a aka no nso, monyɛ no saa ara.
[Tell them to] sew five strips together to make one set, and sew the other five strips together to make another set.
4 Momfa ntama bibiri bamma aduonum nwurawura ntama no afa abien a ɛsensɛn hɔ no mu.
For each set, [they must] make loops of blue [cloth] and fasten them along the outer edge of the strip, at the end of each set.
5 Ɛsɛ sɛ mobɔ nkɔtɔkoro aduonum ma edi nhwɛanim wɔ ɔfa biara.
[They must] put 50 loops on the edge of the first set, and 50 loops on the edge of the second set.
6 Bɔ sikakɔkɔɔ nkɔtɔkoro aduonum na fa kyekyere nkɔtɔkoro no bɔ mu, sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ na Ahyiae Ntamadan hɔ no bɛyɛ ɔdan baako.
[Tell them to] make 50 gold clasps/fasteners, to fasten both of the sets together. As a result, the inside of the Sacred Tent will be [as though it was] one piece.
7 “Monwen mmirekyi nwi mfa nkuru Ahyiae Ntamadan no so. Ɛsɛ sɛ nkuruso no dodow yɛ dubaako.
Also, [tell them to] make a cover for the Sacred Tent from eleven pieces of cloth made from goats’ hair.
8 Nkurusotam dubaako no nyinaa tenten ne ne trɛw nyɛ pɛpɛɛpɛ. Ne tenten nyɛ anammɔn aduanan anum na ne trɛw nyɛ anammɔn asia.
Each piece of cloth is to be (15 yards/13.5 meters) long and (2 yards/1.8 meters) wide.
9 Ka saa nkataso yi anum bɔ mu na ɛnyɛ ade tɛtrɛɛ baako; na fa asia a aka no bɔ mu na ɛno nso nyɛ ade tɛtrɛɛ baako. Wobebu nkuruso a ɛto so asia no ato so ama asensɛn fam sɛ ɔdan kronkron no nhiniano.
[Tell them to] sew five of these pieces of cloth together to make one set, and sew the other six pieces of cloth together to make another set. [They] must fold the sixth piece [of cloth] in half to make it double over the front of the Sacred Tent.
10 Yɛ nkɔtɔkoro aduonum aduonum a wɔabobɔ hyehyɛ ntama asinasin akuw abien no biara ano.
[Tell them to] make 100 loops [of blue cloth], and to fasten 50 of them to the outer edge of the one set and fasten 50 to the outer edge of the other set.
11 Na yɛ nsusomu aduonum na fa saa nsusomu no hyehyɛ nkɔtɔkoro no mu na ɛnka asɔredan no mmɔ mu na ɛnyɛ mua.
[Tell them to] make fifty bronze clasps/fasteners and put them in the cloth loops to join the two sets together. As a result, the cover for the Sacred Tent will be [as though it was] one piece.
12 Ɔdan no nkurusotam anammɔn baako ne fa bɛsensɛn Ahyiae Ntamadan no akyi,
[Let] the extra part of the cover, the part that extends beyond [the linen cloth], hang over the back of the Sacred Tent.
13 na anammɔn baako ne fa nso asensɛn anim.
The extra half yard/meter of each cover, the part that extends beyond [the linen cloth] on each side, must hang over the two sides of the Sacred Tent, to protect the sides.
14 Momfa nneɛma ahorow abien mmɔ ɔdan no so. Nea edi kan no nyɛ odwennini were a wɔahyɛ no kɔkɔɔ, nea ɛto so abien nyɛ abirekyi were a ɛsɔ.
[Tell them to] make two more covers for the Sacred Tent. One is to be made from rams’ skins that have been (tanned/dyed red), and the top cover is to be made from goatskin leather.”
15 “Fa ɔkanto yɛ ntaaboo na fa twa Ahyiae Ntamadan no ho.
“[Tell them to] make frames from acacia wood, frames that will be set up [from which to hang the Sacred Tent covers].
16 Mpuran biara sorokɔ nyɛ anammɔn dunum na ne trɛw nyɛ anammɔn abien ne kakra.
Each frame is to be (five yards/four meters) long and (27 in./66 cm.) wide.
17 Ɛsɛ sɛ nkɔtɔkoro abien wɔ mpuran biara ase, na mpuran biara yɛ pɛ.
[They] must make two projections at the bottom of each frame. These will be to fasten the frames to the bases underneath them. They must make these projections at the bottom of each frame.
18 Mobɛyɛ Ahyiae Ntamadan no ntaaboo ama emu aduonu akyerɛ nʼanafo.
Make 20 frames for the south side of the Sacred Tent.
19 Wɔde besisi dwetɛ nnyinaso aduanan so; nnyinaso no abien abien nhyehyɛ mpuran biara ase.
[Tell them to] make 40 silver bases to go underneath them. Two bases will go under each frame. The projections [at the bottom] of each frame are [to be made] to fit into the bases.
20 Ahyiae Ntamadan no atifi fam nso, wɔbɛyɛ ntaaboo aduonu atwa ho.
[Similarly], [tell them to] make twenty frames for the north side of the Sacred Tent.
21 Ɛno nso wɔde besisi dwetɛ nnyinaso aduanan so a mpuran baako besi nnyinaso abien so.
[They] must make 40 silver bases for them also, with two bases to be put under each frame.
22 Ahyiae Ntamadan no fa a ɛkyerɛ atɔe fam no bɛyɛ nʼakyi. Ɛno nso wɔde ntaaboo asia na ebetwa ho
For the rear of the Sacred Tent, on the west side, [tell them to] make six frames.
23 a ntaaboo abien sisi twea biara.
Also, [tell them to] make two extra frames, one for each corner of the rear of the Sacred Tent, [to provide extra support].
24 Wɔde nkɔtɔkoro besuso ntaaboo abien no soro ne ne fam.
The two corner frames must be joined from the bottom to the top (OR, joined at both the bottom and the top). At the top of each of the two corner frames there must be a gold ring for holding the crossbar.
25 Wɔka ne nyinaa bɔ mu a, ntaaboo awotwe na wɔde bɛyɛ ɔdan no fa hɔ a wɔde besisi dwetɛ nsisiso dunsia so. Mpuran biara bɛfa nsisiso abien.
In that way, [for the rear of the Sacred Tent] there will be eight frames, and there will be 16 bases, two under each frame.
26 “Fa ɔkanto sen mmeamu nnua bi na fa bea ntaaboo no mu. Mmeamu nnua no anum nkɔ ntaaboo no fa baako
[Tell them to] make 15 crossbars from acacia wood.
27 na anum a aka no nso nkɔ ɔfa baako. Fa mmeamu nnua no anum bobɔ ntaaboo a ɛwɔ ntamadan no akyi, a ani kyerɛ atɔe fam no.
Five of them will be for the frames on the north side of the Sacred Tent, five will be for the south side, and five for the frames at the rear of the Sacred Tent, the west side.
28 Ma mmeamu dua a ɛbea mfimfini no nkɔ ntaaboo no soro kakra mma emfi ti nkɔka ti.
Tell them to fasten the crossbars on the north, south, and west sides of the Sacred Tent to the middle of the frames. The two long ones must extend from one end of the Sacred Tent to the other, and the crossbar on the west side must extend from one side of the Sacred Tent to the other.
29 Fa sikakɔkɔɔ dura ntaaboo no ho na fa sikakɔkɔɔ nkaa suso mmeamu dua no mu na ennyina. Fa sikakɔkɔɔ dura mmeamu dua no nso ho.
[Tell them to] cover the frames with gold, and make gold rings to fasten the crossbars to the frames. The crossbars must [also] be covered with gold.
30 “Fa hyehyɛbea a mekyerɛɛ wo wɔ bepɔw no so hɔ no so pɛpɛɛpɛ si Ahyiae Ntamadan no.
Erect the Sacred Tent in the way that I have shown you [here] on [this] mountain.”
31 “Fa ntama tuntum, koogyan bibiri, koogyan ne asaawatam a ɛyɛ fɛ yɛ ntwamtam a wɔanwen kerubim sɛso agu mu no.
“[Tell them to] make a curtain from fine linen. A skilled craftsman must embroider it with blue, purple, and red yarn/thread, making [designs to represent] the winged creatures [that are above the chest].
32 Fa sɛn ɔkanto nnua fadum anan a wɔde sikakɔkɔɔ adura ho a sikakɔkɔɔ nsusomu anan suso ano no so. Ma ɔfadum anan no mu biara nsi dwetɛ nnyinaso anan no baako so.
[Tell them to] suspend/hang the curtain from four posts made from acacia wood and covered with gold. Set [each] post in a silver base.
33 Fa ntwamtam no sensɛn nsusomu no so na fa twa ɔdan no mu. Fa adaka a ɔbo a wɔakyerɛw Onyankopɔn mmara agu so no da mu no si ntama ntwamu no akyi. Ntama ntwamu no betwa kronkronbea hɔ ne kronkron mu kronkron no ntam.
[They] must suspend/hang the [top of the] curtain by hooks that are fastened to the roof of the Sacred Tent. Behind the curtain, in the [room called the] Very Holy Place, [they] must put the chest containing the [two stone slabs on which I have written my] commandments. That curtain will separate the Holy Place from the Very Holy Place.
34 Afei, fa adaka no mmuaso a wɔde sikakɔkɔɔ ayɛ no bua so na fa si kronkron mu kronkron hɔ.
On top of the chest in the Very Holy Place [they] must put the lid which will be the place where [blood will be sprinkled to] forgive people’s sins.
35 Fa ɔpon no ne kaneadua no twa dan no mu wɔ ntwamtam no akyi. Kaneadua no besi kronkronbea no anafo, na ɔpon no asi nʼatifi.
[In the room that is] outside of the Very Holy Place, [they] must put the table [for the sacred] bread on the north side, and put the lampstand on the south side.
36 “Fa ntama foforo a ɛyɛ ɔtam bibiri ne koogyan asaawatam yɛ Ahyiae Ntamadan no ano nkataanim.
[Tell them to] make a curtain to [cover] the entrance of the Sacred Tent. They must make it from fine linen, and a skilled weaver must embroider it with blue, purple, and red yarn/thread.
37 Fa saa ntwamtam no sɛn ɔkanto mpuran anum a wɔde sikakɔkɔɔ adura ho no nsusomu no so. Wɔde saa mpuran no besisi ayowa ntaease anum no mu.
To hold up this curtain, [they] must make five posts from acacia wood. [They] must cover them with gold, and fasten gold clasps/fasteners to them. Also [they] must make a bronze base for each of these posts.”
