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 the LORD said unto Moses, Hew thee two tables of stone like unto the first: and I will write upon [these] tables the words that were in the first tables, which thou brakest.

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

And be ready in the morning, and come up in the morning unto mount Sinai, and present thyself there to me in the top of the mount.

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

And no man shall come up with thee, neither let any man be seen throughout all the mount; neither let the flocks nor herds feed before that mount.

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

And he hewed two tables of stone like unto the first; and Moses rose up early in the morning, and went up unto mount Sinai, as the LORD had commanded him, and took in his hand the two tables of stone.

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

And the LORD descended in the cloud, and stood with him there, and proclaimed 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 the LORD passed by before him, and proclaimed, The LORD, The LORD God, merciful and gracious, longsuffering, and abundant in goodness and truth,

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.”

Keeping mercy for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, and that will by no means clear [the guilty; ] visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, and upon the children’s children, unto the third and to the fourth [generation].

8 Mose kotow Awurade som no.

And Moses made haste, and bowed his head toward the earth, and worshipped.

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.”

And he said, If now I have found grace in thy sight, O Lord, let my Lord, I pray thee, go among us; for it [is] a stiffnecked people; and pardon our iniquity and our sin, and take us for thine 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 he said, Behold, I make a covenant: before all thy people I will do marvels, such as have not been done in all the earth, nor in any nation: and all the people among which thou [art] shall see the work of the LORD: for it [is] a terrible thing that I will do with thee.

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 thou that which I command thee this day: behold, I drive out before thee 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.

Take heed to thyself, lest thou make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land whither thou goest, lest it be for a snare in the midst of thee:

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

But ye shall destroy their altars, break their images, and cut down their groves:

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

For thou shalt worship no 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.

Lest thou make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land, and they go a whoring after their gods, and do sacrifice unto their gods, and [one] call thee, and thou eat of his sacrifice;

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

And thou take of their daughters unto thy sons, and their daughters go a whoring after their gods, and make thy sons go a whoring after their gods.

17 “Monnyɛ ahoni biara.

Thou shalt make thee no 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.

The feast of unleavened bread shalt thou keep. Seven days thou shalt eat unleavened bread, as I commanded thee, in the time of the month Abib: for in the month Abib thou camest out from Egypt.

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

All that openeth the matrix [is] mine; and every firstling among thy cattle, [whether] ox or sheep, [ that is male].

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.

But the firstling of an ass thou shalt redeem with a lamb: and if thou redeem [him] not, then shalt thou break his neck. All the firstborn of thy sons thou shalt redeem. And none shall appear before me empty.

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 thou shalt work, but on the seventh day thou shalt rest: in earing time and in harvest thou shalt 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 thou shalt observe the feast of weeks, of the firstfruits of wheat harvest, and the feast of ingathering at the year’s end.

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

Thrice in the year shall all your men children 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 cast out the nations before thee, and enlarge thy borders: neither shall any man desire thy land, when thou shalt go up to appear before the LORD thy God thrice in the 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.

Thou shalt not offer the blood of my sacrifice with leaven; neither shall the sacrifice of the feast of the passover be left unto the 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.”

The first of the firstfruits of thy land thou shalt bring unto the house of the LORD thy God. Thou shalt not seethe a kid in his 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.”

And the LORD said unto Moses, Write thou these words: for after the tenor of these words I have made a covenant with thee 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.

And he was there with the LORD forty days and forty nights; he did neither eat bread, nor drink water. And he wrote upon the tables 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 it came to pass, when Moses came down from mount Sinai with the two tables of testimony in Moses’ hand, when he came down from the mount, that Moses wist not that the skin of his face shone while he talked with him.

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

And when Aaron and all the children of Israel saw Moses, behold, the skin of his face shone; and they were afraid to come nigh him.

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

And Moses called unto them; and Aaron and all the rulers of the congregation returned unto him: and Moses talked with 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 afterward all the children of Israel came nigh: and he gave them in commandment all that the LORD had spoken with him in mount Sinai.

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

And [till] Moses had done speaking with them, he put a vail on 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 Moses went in before the LORD to speak with him, he took the vail off, until he came out. And he came out, and spake unto the children of Israel [that] which he was 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 children of Israel saw the face of Moses, that the skin of Moses’ face shone: and Moses put the vail upon his face again, until he went in to speak with him.
