2 Mose 35

1 Afei, Mose frɛɛ Israelmma nyinaa ne wɔn yɛɛ nhyiamu ka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Eyi ne Awurade mmara a ɛsɛ sɛ mudi so.

Therefore, when all the multitude of the sons of Israel had gathered together, he said to them: “These are the things that the Lord has ordered to be done:

2 Monyɛ adwuma nnansia. Na da a ɛto so ason no de, momfa nhome; ɛyɛ da kronkron a ɛsɛ sɛ mode som Awurade. Obiara a ɔbɛyɛ adwuma biara saa da no, ɛsɛ sɛ wokum no.

For six days you shall do work; the seventh day, the Sabbath and the rest of the Lord, will be holy to you; whoever will have done any work in it shall be killed.

3 Da no, ogya mpo, monnsɔ bi ano wɔ mo afi mu.”

You shall not kindle a fire in any of your dwelling places throughout the day of the Sabbath.”

4 Mose ka kyerɛɛ nnipa no nyinaa se, “Nsɛm a Awurade ahyɛ sɛ monyɛ ni:

And Moses said to the entire crowd of the sons of Israel: “This is the word which the Lord has instructed, saying:

5 Obiara a ɔpɛ no mfa saa afɔrebɔde yi mu biara mmrɛ Awurade: “Sikakɔkɔɔ, dwetɛ, kɔbere mfrafrae;

Separate from among you the first-fruits to the Lord. Let all who are willing and have a ready soul offer these to the Lord: gold, and silver, and brass,

6 ntama a wɔde asaawa tuntum, bibiri ne koogyan ayɛ ne abirekyi nwi,

hyacinth, and purple, and twice-dyed scarlet, and fine linen, the hair of goats,

7 odwennini nwoma a wɔahyɛ no aduru kɔkɔɔ ne abirekyi nwoma a wɔahyɛ, ɔkanto dua;

and the skins of rams, dyed red, and violet skins, setim wood,

8 ngo a wɔde begu akanea no mu, ɔhyew nnuhuam a wɔde bɛyɛ ɔsrango ne; ɔhyew aduhuam;

and oil to prepare lights and to produce ointment, and most sweet incense,

9 abo a ɛte sɛ apopobibiri ne abo a wɔde bɛhyehyɛ asɔfotade no ne nʼadɛbo no mu.

onyx stones and gems, to adorn the ephod and the breastplate.

10 “Mo a mowɔ nimdeɛ wɔ biribiyɛ ho no, mo nyinaa mommra na monyɛ nea Awurade aka no nyinaa te sɛ:

And whoever among you is wise, let him come and make what the Lord has commanded:

11 “Ahyiae Ntamadan no so ntama ne ne nkataso, nkɔtɔkoro, mpuran nnua a esisi mu, adum ne nnyinaso;

the tabernacle, certainly, and its roof, and also the covering, the rings, and the panels with the bars, the tent pegs and the bases,

12 Apam Adaka no ne nnua a esisi ho; Mpata agua ntwamtam a ɛkata kronkronbea hɔ,

the ark and its bars, the propitiatory, and the veil that is drawn before it,

13 ɔpon ne nnua a wɔde soa ne ɛho nneɛma nyinaa, Ɔkyerɛ Brodo;

the table with its bars and vessels, and the bread of the presence,

14 akanea nnua ne nʼakanea ne ngo;

the lampstand to hold up the lights, its vessels and lamps, and the oil to the nourish the fire,

15 aduhuam afɔremuka ne nnua a wɔde bɛsoa; ɔsrango ne aduhuam a eyi hua pa, nsɛnanim a wɔde bɛsɛn Ahyiae Ntamadan no pon ano;

the altar of incense and its bars, and the oil of unction, and the incense of aromatics, the tent at the door of the tabernacle,

16 kɔbere Afɔremuka a wɔde bɛbɔ ɔhyew afɔre, kɔbere ntwitae ne nnua a wɔde bɛsoa ho nneɛma, ne nea wɔhoro mu nneɛma ne ne ntaamu,

17 adiwo hɔ no ntwamtam, adum ne ne nnyinaso, ntama a wɔde bɛkata adiwo hɔ kwan ano,

the curtains of the atrium, with the columns and the bases, the hanging at the doors of the vestibule,

18 Ahyiae Ntamadan no adiwo hɔ nnua ne ne ntampehama,

the tent pegs of the tabernacle and the atrium, with their little cords,

19 asɔfotade a ɛyɛ fɛ a ɔsɔfo no bɛhyɛ asɔre wɔ kronkronbea hɔ ne Aaron ntade kronkron a sɛ ne mmabarima no yɛ asɔfodwuma a, wɔbɛhyɛ bi.”

the vestments, which are to be used in the ministry of the Sanctuary, the vestments of Aaron, the high priest, as well as those of his sons, in order to exercise the priesthood to me.”

20 Na Israelmma nyinaa fii Mose anim,

And all the multitude of the sons of Israel, departing from the sight of Moses,

21 na wɔn a Onyankopɔn honhom kaa wɔn koma no de wɔn akyɛde a wɔde besi Ahyiae Ntamadan no ne ɛho nneɛma ne nea wɔde bɛpam atade kronkron no bae.

offered the first-fruits to the Lord with a most ready and devout mind, to accomplish the work of the tabernacle of the testimony. Whatever was needed for worship and for the holy vestments,

22 Mmea ne mmarima a asɛm no kaa wɔn koma no nyinaa bae. Wɔde sikakɔkɔɔ, agude, nsonkaa, nkaa, kɔnmuade ne sika adwinne bebree brɛɛ Awurade.

men along with women provided: arm bands and earrings, rings and bracelets. And every vessel of gold was separated, to be donated to the Lord.

23 Wɔn a wɔwɔ ntama pa, kuntu a ɛyɛ tuntum, bibiri, abirekyi nwoma a wɔahyɛ, odwennini nwoma a wɔahyɛ no kɔkɔɔ anaa aboa nwoma a ɛyɛ fɛ nso de bae.

If anyone had hyacinth, and purple, and twice-dyed scarlet, fine linen and the hair of goats, the skins of rams, dyed red, and violet skins,

24 Afoforo nso de dwetɛ ne kɔbere brɛɛ Awurade sɛ wɔn akyɛde. Ebinom de ɔkanto nnua nso bae.

metal of silver and brass, they offered it to the Lord, along with setim wood for various uses.

25 Mmea no bi a wonim adepam yiye no too asaawa tuntum, bibiri ne koogyan de yɛɛ ntama a ɛyɛ fɛ de brɛɛ Awurade.

But the skillful women also gave whatever they had spun: hyacinth, purple, and vermillion, as well as fine linen,

26 Afoforo nso de anigye nam wɔn dom akyɛde so de abirekyi nwi yɛɛ ntama.

and the hair of goats, donating everything of their own accord.

27 Mpanyimfo a wodi wɔn anim no de abo a ɛte sɛ apopobibiri bae sɛ wɔmfa nyɛ asɔfotade no ne nʼadɛbo.

Yet truly, the leaders offered onyx stones and gems, for the ephod and the breastplate,

28 Wɔde nnuhuam ne ngo a wɔde begu akanea mu ne nea wɔde bɛfra ɔsrango no ne nnuhuam no ama adi mu no nso bae.

and aromatics and oil, to maintain the lights, and to prepare ointment, and also to produce incense with a most sweet odor.

29 Eyi di ho adanse sɛ Israel mmarima ne mmea a na wɔpɛ sɛ wɔboa dwumadi a Awurade nam Mose so de hyɛɛ wɔn nsa no fi wɔn pɛ mu de wɔn akyɛde brɛɛ no.

All the men and women offered donations with a devout mind, so that the works might be done which the Lord had ordered by the hand of Moses. All the sons of Israel dedicated voluntary offerings to the Lord.

30 Mose ka kyerɛɛ Israelfo no se, “Awurade ayi Besaleel, Uri ba a ɔyɛ Hur a ofi Yuda abusua mu nena

And Moses said to the sons of Israel: “Behold, the Lord has called by name Bezalel, the son of Uri, the son of Hur, from the tribe of Judah,

31 no sɛ ɔno Onyankopɔn Honhom ahyɛ no ma. Wama no nyansa, tumi ne adwene a ɔde besi Ahyiae Ntamadan no ayɛ biribiara a ɛwɔ mu.

and he has filled him with the Spirit of God, with wisdom, and understanding, and knowledge, and all teaching,

32 Obetumi adi adwinni afi sikakɔkɔɔ, dwetɛ, ne kɔbere mu.

to design and to fashion, with gold and silver and brass,

33 Obetumi adi abo adwinni na obetumi asen nnua nso; nokware mu, ɔwɔ ɔdom akyɛde bebree.

and with engraving stones, and with the skill of a carpenter. Whatever can be skillfully invented,

34 Na Onyankopɔn ama ɔno ne Oholiab a ɔyɛ Ahisamak a ofi Dan abusuakuw mu babarima ɔdom akyɛde a wɔnam so kyerɛ afoforo ade.

he has given to his heart. It is likewise with Oholiab, the son of Ahisamach from the tribe of Dan.

35 Onyankopɔn ama wɔn baanu akyɛde sononko sɛ adwumfo, duadwumfo, adenwenfo a wotumi nwen nneɛma a ɛyɛ fɛ gu ntama pa a ɛyɛ tuntum, bibiri ne koogyan mu. Wonim saa adwinne yi nyinaa di ma ɛboro so.

He has taught both of them wisdom, in order to do the work of carpentry, tapestry, and embroidery, from hyacinth, and purple, and twice-dyed scarlet, and fine linen, and every textile, and to discover whatever may be new.”
