2 Mose 34

1 Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose se, “Yɛ abo kyerɛw apon abien te sɛ nea woyɛɛ kan no na mɛkyerɛw mmara koro no ara sɛnea na ɛwɔ nea wububuu mu no so ara pɛ ama wo.

Then the LORD said to Moses, “Chisel out two stone tablets like the originals, and I will write on them the words that were on the first tablets, which you broke.

2 Siesie wo ho na bra Sinai Bepɔw so anɔpa na fa wo ho bɛkyerɛ me.

Be ready in the morning, and come up on Mount Sinai to present yourself before Me on the mountaintop.

3 Mfa obiara nka wo ho na ɛnsɛ sɛ obiara bɛn bepɔw no ho baabiara. Mma mmoa biara nkɔ adidi mmɛn bepɔw no.”

No one may go up with you; in fact, no one may be seen anywhere on the mountain—not even the flocks or herds may graze in front of the mountain.”

4 Enti Mose twaa kyerɛw apon abien te sɛ kan de no de kɔɔ Sinai Bepɔw so anɔpahema sɛnea Awurade hyɛe no no.

So Moses chiseled out two stone tablets like the originals. He rose early in the morning, and taking the two stone tablets in his hands, he went up Mount Sinai as the LORD had commanded him.

5 Awurade sian baa sɛ omununkum fadum begyinaa Mose ho bɔɔ ne din kronkron Awurade no.

And the LORD descended in a cloud, stood with him there, and proclaimed His name, the LORD.

6 Awurade faa Mose anim frɛɛ no kae se, “Me, Awurade, Onyankopɔn mmɔborɔhunufo ne ɔdomfo a me bo kyɛ fuw na mewɔ ɔdɔ na midi nokware nso;

Then the LORD passed in front of Moses and called out: “The LORD, the LORD God, is compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, abounding in loving devotion and faithfulness,

7 me Awurade, medɔ nnipa mpempem na mede atirimɔden, atuatew ne bɔne kyɛ. Nanso metwe afɔdi aso na metwe Agyanom, mma ne nananom aso kosi awo ntoatoaso abiɛsa ne anan aso.”

maintaining loving devotion to a thousand generations, forgiving iniquity, transgression, and sin. Yet He will by no means leave the guilty unpunished; He will visit the iniquity of the fathers on their children and grandchildren to the third and fourth generations.”

8 Mose kotow Awurade som no.

Moses immediately bowed down to the ground and worshiped.

9 Ɔkae se, “Sɛ ɛyɛ nokware pa ara sɛ woagye me ato mu de a, Awurade, wo ne yɛnkɔ bɔhyɛ asase no so. Saa nnipa yi aso yɛ den de, nanso fa yɛn bɔne kyɛ yɛn na gye yɛn sɛ wo ara wo nnipa.”

“O Lord,” he said, “if I have indeed found favor in Your sight, my Lord, please go with us. Although this is a stiff-necked people, forgive our iniquity and sin, and take us as Your inheritance.”

10 Awurade buae se, “Eye, me ne wo bɛyɛ nhyehyɛe bi. Merebɛyɛ anwonwade bi a bi nsii asase so da, na ɛnam so ama Israelfo nyinaa ahu tumi a Awurade wɔ. Menam wo so na mɛyɛ saa tumide no.

And the LORD said, “Behold, I am making a covenant. Before all your people I will perform wonders that have never been done in any nation in all the world. All the people among whom you live will see the LORD’s work, for it is an awesome thing that I am doing with you.

11 Wo fam de a wobɛyɛ ara ne sɛ, wubetie nsɛm a mɛhyɛ wo no na woayɛ ne nyinaa; na sɛ ɛba saa a, mɛpam Amorifo, Kanaanfo, Hetifo, Perisifo, Hewifo ne Yebusifo no nyinaa afi wʼanim.

Observe what I command you this day. I will drive out before you the Amorites, Canaanites, Hittites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites.

12 Hwɛ wo ho so yiye pa ara na wo ne ɔman a worekɔ mu no mufo ampam, anyɛ saa a, wɔbɛyɛ mfiri wɔ mo mu a ebeyiyi mo.

Be careful not to make a treaty with the inhabitants of the land you are entering, lest they become a snare in your midst.

13 Bubu wɔn abosonsom afɔremuka no. Sɛe wɔn abo adum no na muntutu wɔn abosom no ngu.

Rather, you must tear down their altars, smash their sacred stones, and chop down their Asherah poles.

14 Na monnsom onyame foforo biara nka Awurade ho, na ɔno nko ara ne Onyankopɔn a ɛsɛ sɛ mosom no.

For you must not worship any other god, for the LORD, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God.

15 “Wo ne onipa biara a ɔte asase no so nnyɛ asomdwoe apam biara, efisɛ wonni me nokware, na wɔbɔ afɔre ma wɔn anyame de tia me. Sɛ wo ne wɔn yɛ adwene a, wɔbɛto nsa afrɛ wo ama woakodi wɔn abosom so nnuan.

Do not make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land, for when they prostitute themselves to their gods and sacrifice to them, they will invite you, and you will eat their sacrifices.

16 Afei nso, ɛyɛ saa a, mubegye wɔn mmabea aware ama mo mmabarima no akɔsom wɔn yerenom no anyame bi de atia me.

And when you take some of their daughters as brides for your sons, their daughters will prostitute themselves to their gods and cause your sons to do the same.

17 “Monnyɛ ahoni biara.

You shall make no molten gods for yourselves.

18 “Munni Apiti Afahyɛ no. Munni brodo a mmɔkaw nni mu nnanson sɛnea meka kyerɛɛ mo no. Monyɛ eyi afe biara mu ɔsram Abib (Yudafo ɔsram a edi kan) mu, efisɛ saa ɔsram no mu na mutu fii Misraim.

You are to keep the Feast of Unleavened Bread. For seven days at the appointed time in the month of Abib, you are to eat unleavened bread as I commanded you. For in the month of Abib you came out of Egypt.

19 “Abakan biara yɛ me dea, sɛ ɛyɛ nantwi, oguan anaa abirekyi.

The first offspring of every womb belongs to Me, including all the firstborn males among your livestock, whether cattle or sheep.

20 Afurum ba a ɔyɛ abakan de, wɔmfa no nsesa oguamma. Na sɛ wompɛ sɛ wode no di nsesa de a, bu ne kɔn mu. Mo mmabarima de, munnye wɔn nyinaa. “Obiara mma mʼanim a onkura akyɛde bi.

You must redeem the firstborn of a donkey with a lamb; but if you do not redeem it, you are to break its neck. You must redeem all the firstborn of your sons. No one shall appear before Me empty-handed.

21 “Nnansia pɛ na momfa nyɛ adwuma. Da a ɛto so ason no de, munnni dwuma biara. Ofuntumbere anaa otwabere mpo, momfa nnansia nyɛ adwuma. Da a ɛto so ason no, monhome.

Six days you shall labor, but on the seventh day you shall rest; even in the seasons of plowing and harvesting, you must rest.

22 “Monkae na munni saa afahyɛ abiɛsa a ɛwɔ afe mu no nyinaa. Eyinom ne: Otwabere Afahyɛ (anaasɛ Pentekoste), Atoko a edi kan Afahyɛ ne Asese Afahyɛ.

And you are to celebrate the Feast of Weeks with the firstfruits of the wheat harvest, and the Feast of Ingathering at the turn of the year.

23 Saa afahyɛ abiɛsa yi mu biara du so a, ɛsɛ sɛ Israelfo mmarima ne mmarimaa nyinaa ba Awurade anim.

Three times a year all your males are to appear before the Lord GOD, the God of Israel.

24 Sɛ mokɔ Awurade mo Nyankopɔn anim saa mprɛnsa no nyinaa afe biara mu a, obiara nni hɔ a ɔbɛtoa mo abedi mo asase no so. Mɛpam saa aman no wɔ mo anim na matrɛw mo ahye mu.

For I will drive out the nations before you and enlarge your borders, and no one will covet your land when you go up three times a year to appear before the LORD your God.

25 “Mommfa brodo a mmɔkaw wɔ mu mmɔ me afɔre. Na Twam Afahyɛ nam no nso, mommfa bi nsi hɔ mma ade nkye so.

Do not offer the blood of a sacrifice to Me along with anything leavened, and do not let any of the sacrifice from the Passover Feast remain until morning.

26 “Sɛ mutwa mo nnɔbae a, Momfa mo nnɔbae mu nea ɛsɔ ani koraa no mmra Awurade mo Nyankopɔn fi. “Monnoa abirekyi ba wɔ ne na nufusu mu.”

Bring the best of the firstfruits of your soil to the house of the LORD your God. You must not cook a young goat in its mother’s milk.”

27 Na Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose se, “Kyerɛw saa mmara a mede ama wo yi nyinaa gu hɔ, efisɛ ɛyɛ me ne wo, Israel ntam apam.”

The LORD also said to Moses, “Write down these words, for in accordance with these words I have made a covenant with you and with Israel.”

28 Mose ne Awurade de adaduanan, awia ne anadwo, dii nkitaho wɔ bepɔw no so, na saa bere no, Mose annidi, annom. Saa bere no, Onyankopɔn kyerɛw Mmaransɛm Du no guu ɔbo kyerɛwpon no so.

So Moses was there with the LORD forty days and forty nights without eating bread or drinking water. He wrote on the tablets the words of the covenant—the Ten Commandments.

29 Bere a Mose de kyerɛw apon no fi Onyankopɔn nkyɛn resian bepɔw no, na onnim sɛ nʼanim rehyerɛn.

And when Moses came down from Mount Sinai with the two tablets of the Testimony in his hands, he was unaware that his face had become radiant from speaking with the LORD.

30 Esiane nʼanim hyerɛn a na ɛhyerɛn no nti, Aaron ne Israelfo no huu Mose no, wosuroe sɛ wɔbɛbɛn no.

Aaron and all the Israelites looked at Moses, and behold, his face was radiant. And they were afraid to approach him.

31 Nanso Mose frɛɛ wɔn baa ne nkyɛn maa Aaron ne ɔman no mu ntuanofo ne no bɛkasae.

But Moses called out to them; so Aaron and all the leaders of the congregation returned to him, and Moses spoke to them.

32 Akyiri no, nnipa no nyinaa baa ne nkyɛn ma ɔde mmaransɛm a Awurade de maa no wɔ bepɔw no so hɔ no maa wɔn.

And after this all the Israelites came near, and Moses commanded them to do everything that the LORD had told him on Mount Sinai.

33 Mose ne wɔn kasa wiee no, ɔde nkataanim kataa nʼanim,

When Moses had finished speaking with them, he put a veil over his face.

34 na bere biara a ɔbɛkɔ Ahyiae Ntamadan mu hɔ ne Awurade akɔkasa no, oyi nkataanim no kosi sɛ ɔbɛsan aba bio; ɔba saa a, asɛm biara a Onyankopɔn aka akyerɛ no no, na ɔno nso ka kyerɛ nnipa no

But whenever Moses went in before the LORD to speak with Him, he would remove the veil until he came out. And when he came out, he would tell the Israelites what he had been commanded,

35 a wohu sɛ nʼanim ayɛ hyerɛnn no. Akyiri no, ɔde nkataanim no kata nʼanim bio kosi sɛ ɔbɛkɔ Onyankopɔn nkyɛn na ɔne no akɔkasa.

and the Israelites would see that the face of Moses was radiant. So Moses would put the veil back over his face until he went in to speak with the LORD.
