2 Mose 31

1 Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose se,

And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

2 “Mapaw Besaleel a ɔyɛ Uri babarima na ɔyɛ Hur nena a ofi Yuda abusua mu no

Behold, I have called by name Beseleel the son of Urias the son of Or, of the tribe of Juda.

3 de Onyankopɔn Honhom, nyansa, ntease, nimdeɛ ne nnepa ahorow nyinaa ahyɛ no mma

And I have filled him [with] a divine spirit of wisdom, and understanding, and knowledge, to invent in every work,

4 sɛ ɔmfa nyɛ sika, dwetɛ ne kɔbere nnwinne ahorow,

and to frame works, to labor in gold, and silver, and brass, and blue, and purple, and spun scarlet,

5 sɛ ɔmfa nyɛ abo ne dua dwumfo ne adwinni ahorow nyinaa.

and works in stone, and for artificers' work in wood, to work at all works.

6 Bio, mayi Ahisamak ba Oholiab a ofi Dan abusua mu sɛ ɔnyɛ ne boafo. “Ɛno akyi no, mama adwumayɛfo no nyinaa nimdeɛ sononko bi sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a, wobetumi adi dwuma biara a makyerɛ sɛ munni no:

And I have appointed him and Eliab the [son] of Achisamach of the tribe of Dan, and to every one understanding in heart I have given understanding; and they shall make all things as many as I have appointed you, —

7 “Ahyiae Ntamadan, Apam Adaka ne mpata agua ne Ahyiae Ntamadan no mu ahyehyɛde nkae no nyinaa;

the tabernacle of witness, and the ark of the covenant, and the propitiatory that is upon it, and the furniture of the tabernacle,

8 ɔpon no ne so nneɛma, sikakɔkɔɔ kaneadua ne ho nneɛma, ohuam afɔremuka;

and the altars, and the table and all its furniture,

9 ɔhyew afɔremuka ne ho nneɛma, nsankason ne ne nnyinaso;

and the pure candlestick and all its furniture, and the laver and its base,

10 ɔsɔfo Aaron ntade kronkron fɛɛfɛ no ne ne mma ntade bere a wɔsom sɛ asɔfo no;

and Aaron's robes of ministry, and the robes of his sons to minister to me as priests,

11 ne ɔsra ngo ne Kronkronbea hɔ aduhuam no. “Ɛsɛ sɛ wɔfa kwan a mɛkyerɛ wo no so na wɔyɛ eyinom nyinaa.”

and the anointing oil and the compound incense of the sanctuary; according to all that I have commanded you shall they make them.

12 Afei, Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose se,

And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

13 “Ka kyerɛ Israelfo no se, ‘Sɛ edu Homeda a, monhome. Eyi ne nsɛnkyerɛnne a ɛda me ne mo ne awo ntoatoaso a ɛbɛba no ntam, na moahu sɛ mene Awurade a meyɛ mo kronkron no.’

Do you also charge the children of Israel, saying, Take heed and keep my sabbaths; [for] they are a sign with me and among you throughout your generations, that you may know that I am the Lord that sanctifies you.

14 “‘Munni Homeda no, efisɛ ɛyɛ da kronkron. Obiara a obebu saa mmara yi so no, obewu. Na nea ɔbɛyɛ adwuma saa da no nso, wobekum no.

And you shall keep the sabbaths, because this is holy to the Lord for you; he that profanes it shall surely be put to death: every one who shall do a work on it, that soul shall be destroyed from the midst of his people.

15 Nnansia na mode bɛyɛ adwuma. Na nnanson so no yɛ Homeda a wɔntoto no ase a ɛyɛ kronkron ma Awurade. Ɛsɛ sɛ wokum obiara a ɔbɛyɛ adwuma Homeda no.

Six days you shall do works, but the seventh day is the sabbath, a holy rest to the Lord; every one who shall do a work on the seventh day shall be put to death.

16 Ɛsɛ sɛ Israelfo no di Homeda no, wonni mma awo ntoatoaso no nhu sɛ ɛyɛ apam afebɔɔ.

And the children of Israel shall keep the sabbaths, to observe them throughout their generations.

17 Ɛbɛyɛ daa apam a ɛda me ne Israelfo ntam no ho nsɛnkyerɛnne. Efisɛ nnansia mu na Awurade de bɔɔ ɔsoro ne asase, na ɔhomee da a ɛto so ason no.’”

It is a perpetual covenant with me and the children of Israel, it is a perpetual sign with me; for in six days the Lord made the heaven and the earth, and on the seventh day he ceased, and rested.

18 Onyankopɔn kasa kyerɛɛ Mose wɔ Sinai Bepɔw so wiee no, ɔde abo pon abien a ɔde ne nsa akyerɛw Mmaransɛm Du no wɔ so no maa no.

And he gave to Moses when he left off speaking to him in mount Sina the two tables of testimony, tables of stone written [upon] with the finger of God.
