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.
Adonai said to Moses [Drawn out], “Chisel two stone tablets like the first: and I will write on the tablets 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 by the morning, and come up in the morning to Mount Sinai [Thorn], and present yourself there to me on the top 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.”
No one shall come up with you or be seen anywhere on the mountain. Do not let the flocks or herds graze in front of that mountain.”
4 Enti Mose twaa kyerɛw apon abien te sɛ kan de no de kɔɔ Sinai Bepɔw so anɔpahema sɛnea Awurade hyɛe no no.
He chiseled two tablets of stone like the first; and Moses [Drawn out] rose up early in the morning, and went up to Mount Sinai [Thorn], as Adonai had enjoined him, and took in his hand two stone tablets.
5 Awurade sian baa sɛ omununkum fadum begyinaa Mose ho bɔɔ ne din kronkron Awurade no.
Adonai descended in the cloud, and stood with him there, and proclaimed Adonai’s name.
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;
Adonai passed by before him, and proclaimed, “Yud-Hey-Vav-Hey! Yahweh a merciful and gracious God, slow to anger, and abundant in chesed ·loving-kindness· 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 chesed ·loving-kindness· for thousands, forgiving depravity (moral evil) and rebellious breach of relationship and habitual sin ·missing the mark·; and that will by no means clear the guilty, visiting the depravity (moral evil) of the fathers on the children, and on the children’s children, on the third and on the fourth generation.”
8 Mose kotow Awurade som no.
Moses [Drawn out] hurried and bowed his head toward the earth, 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.”
He said, “If now I have found chen ·grace· in your sight, Adonai, please let Adonai go among us; although this is a stiff-necked people; pardon our depravity (moral evil) and our habitual sin ·missing the mark·, and take us for 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.
He said, “Behold, I make a covenant ·binding contract between two or more parties·: before all your people I will do marvels, such as have not been worked in all the earth, nor in any nation; and all the people among which you are shall see the work of Adonai; for it is an awesome thing that I do 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 that which I enjoin you today. Behold, I divorce from before you the Amorite [Descendants of Talkers], the Canaanite [Descendant of Humbled], the Hittite [Descendant of Trembling fear], the Perizzite [Descendant of Belonging to village], the Hivite [Wicked], and the Jebusite [Descendants of Thresher].
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, lest you make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land where you are going, lest it be for a snare in the middle of you:
13 Bubu wɔn abosonsom afɔremuka no. Sɛe wɔn abo adum no na muntutu wɔn abosom no ngu.
but you shall break down their altars, and dash in pieces their pillars, and you shall cut 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 shall hawa ·bow low, prostrate· to worship no other deity: for Yahweh [He sustains breathing], whose name is Kana' [Jealous], is El Kana' [God Jealous].
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.
“Don’t make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land, lest they play the prostitute after their deities, and sacrifice to their deities, and one call you and you 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 you take of their daughters to your sons, and their daughters play the prostitute after their deities, and make your sons play the prostitute after their deities.
17 “Monnyɛ ahoni biara.
“You shall make no molten elohim ·deities· 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 shall keep the festival of Matzah ·Unleavened bread·. Seven days you shall eat matzah ·unleavened bread·, as I enjoined you, at the time appointed in the first month Aviv ·Ripening grain (of a new crop), 1·; for in the first month Aviv ·Ripening grain (of a new crop), 1· you came out of Egypt [Abode of slavery].
19 “Abakan biara yɛ me dea, sɛ ɛyɛ nantwi, oguan anaa abirekyi.
“All that opens the womb is mine; and all your livestock that is male, the firstborn of cow and 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 shall redeem the firstborn of a donkey with a lamb. If you will not redeem it, then you shall break its neck. You shall redeem all the firstborn of your sons. No one 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 you shall work, but on the seventh day you shall rest: in plowing time and in harvest you shall 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.
“You shall observe the festival of Shavu'ot ·Weeks· / Pentacost ·Fifty· with the first fruits of wheat harvest, and the festival of in-gathering 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 in the year all your males shall appear before the Lord Yahweh, Elohim Isra'el [He sustains breathing, God of God prevails].
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 nations before you and enlarge your borders; neither shall any man desire your land when you go up to appear before Adonai, your God, three times 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.
“You shall not offer the blood of my sacrifice with leavened bread. The sacrifice of the festival of the Pesac ·Passover· shall not be left to 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.”
“You shall bring the first of the first fruits of your ground to the house of Adonai your God. “You shall not boil a young goat in its mother’s milk fat.”
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.”
Adonai said to Moses [Drawn out], “Write you these words: for in accordance with these words I have made a covenant with you and with Israel [God prevails].”
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.
He was there with Adonai forty days and forty nights; he neither ate bread, nor drank water. He wrote on the tablets the words of the covenant, the Ten Words.
29 Bere a Mose de kyerɛw apon no fi Onyankopɔn nkyɛn resian bepɔw no, na onnim sɛ nʼanim rehyerɛn.
When Moses [Drawn out] came down from Mount Sinai [Thorn] with the two tablets of the testimony in Moses [Drawn out]’ hand, when he came down from the mountain, Moses [Drawn out] didn’t know that the skin of his face shone by reason of his speaking with him.
30 Esiane nʼanim hyerɛn a na ɛhyerɛn no nti, Aaron ne Israelfo no huu Mose no, wosuroe sɛ wɔbɛbɛn no.
When Aaron [Light-bringer] and all the children of Israel [God prevails] saw Moses [Drawn out], behold, the skin of his face shone; and they were afraid to come near him.
31 Nanso Mose frɛɛ wɔn baa ne nkyɛn maa Aaron ne ɔman no mu ntuanofo ne no bɛkasae.
Moses [Drawn out] called to them, and Aaron [Light-bringer] and all the rulers of the congregation teshuvah ·completely returned· to him; and Moses [Drawn out] 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.
Afterward all the children of Israel [God prevails] came near, and he enjoined to them all that Adonai had spoken with him on Mount Sinai [Thorn].
33 Mose ne wɔn kasa wiee no, ɔde nkataanim kataa nʼanim,
When Moses [Drawn out] was done speaking with them, he put a veil 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 [Drawn out] went in before Adonai to speak with him, he removed the veil, until he came out; and he came out, and spoke to the children of Israel [God prevails] that which he was enjoined.
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.
The children of Israel [God prevails] saw Moses [Drawn out]’ face, that the skin of Moses [Drawn out]’ face shone: and Moses [Drawn out] put the veil on his face again, until he went in to speak with him.
