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.

And after this he said: “Cut out for yourself two tablets of stone similar to the first ones, and I will write upon them the words which were held on the tablets that you broke.

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

Be prepared in the morning, so that you may immediately ascend onto Mount Sinai, and you shall stand with me on the summit of the mountain.

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

Let no one ascend with you, and do not let anyone be seen throughout the entire mountain. Likewise, do not let the oxen or the sheep pasture up against it.”

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

And so he cut out two tablets of stone, like those that were before. And rising up in the night, he ascended onto Mount Sinai, just as the Lord had instructed him, carrying with him the tablets.

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

And when the Lord had descended in a cloud, Moses stood with him, calling upon the name of 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;

And as he was crossing before him, he said: “The Ruler, the Lord God, merciful and lenient, patient and full of compassion and also truthful,

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.”

who preserves mercy a thousand fold, who takes away iniquity, and wickedness, and also sin; and with you no one, in and of himself, is innocent. You render the iniquity of the fathers to the sons, and also to their descendants to the third and fourth generation.”

8 Mose kotow Awurade som no.

And hurrying, Moses bowed down prostrate to the ground; and worshiping,

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.”

he said: “If I have found grace in your sight, O Lord, I beg you to walk with us, (for the people are stiff-necked) and take away our iniquities and our sin, and so possess us.”

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.

The Lord responded: “I will enter into a pact in the sight of all. I will perform signs which have never been seen on earth, nor among any nation, so that this people, in whose midst you are, may discern the terrible work of the Lord that I will do.

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 everything that I command you this day. I myself will drive out before your face the Amorite, and the Canaanite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, and the Hivite, and the Jebusite.

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.

Beware that you do not ever join in friendship with the inhabitants of that land, which may be your ruin.

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

But destroy their altars, break their statues, and cut down their sacred groves.

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

Do not be willing to worship any strange god. The jealous Lord is his name. God is a rival.

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 enter into a pact with the men of those regions, lest, when they will have fornicated with their gods and worshiped their idols, someone might call upon you to eat from what was immolated.

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

Neither shall you take a wife for your son from their daughters, lest, after they themselves have fornicated, they may cause your sons also to fornicate with their gods.

17 “Monnyɛ ahoni biara.

You shall not make for yourselves any molten gods.

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 shall keep the solemnity of unleavened bread. For seven days, you shall eat unleavened bread, just as I instructed you, in the time of the month of what is new. For in the month of springtime you departed from Egypt.

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

All of the male kind, which open the womb, shall be mine: from all the animals, as much of oxen as of sheep, it shall be mine.

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.

The firstborn of a donkey, you shall redeem with a sheep. But if you will not give a price for it, it shall be slain. The firstborn of your sons you shall redeem. You shall not appear empty in my sight.

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.

For six days you shall work. On the seventh day you shall cease to cultivate and to harvest.

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.

You shall observe the Solemnity of Weeks with the first-fruits of the grain from the harvest of your wheat, and a Solemnity when the time of the year returns and everything is stored away.

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 shall appear in the sight of the Almighty, the Lord 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 when I will have taken away the nations before your face, and enlarged your borders, no one shall lie in wait against your land when you will go up to appear in the sight of the Lord your God, three times a year.

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

You shall not immolate the blood of my victim over leaven; and there shall not remain, in the morning, any of the victim of the Solemnity of the Passover.

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.”

The first of the fruits of your land you shall offer in the house of the Lord your God. You shall not boil a young goat in the milk of its mother.”

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.”

And the Lord said to Moses, “Write these words to you, through which I have formed a covenant, both 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.

Therefore, he was in that place with the Lord for forty days and forty nights; he did not eat bread and he did not drink water, and he wrote on the tablets the ten words of the covenant.

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

And when Moses descended from Mount Sinai, he held the two tablets of the testimony, and he did not know that his face was radiant from the sharing of words with the Lord.

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

Then Aaron and the sons of Israel, seeing that the face of Moses was radiant, were afraid to approach close by.

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

And being called by him, they turned back, both Aaron and the leaders of the assembly. And after he had spoken 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.

all the sons of Israel also now came to him. And he instructed them in all the things that he had heard from the Lord on Mount Sinai.

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

And having completed these words, he placed 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 when he entered to the Lord and was speaking with him, he took it off, until he exited. And then he spoke to the sons of Israel all that had been commanded to him.

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 they saw that the face of Moses, when he came out, was radiant, but he covered his face again, whenever he spoke to them.
