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.
Moses summoned all the Israelites and told them, “This is what the Lord has ordered you to do:
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.
Six days you can work, but the seventh day is to be a holy Sabbath of rest to the Lord. Anyone who does any work on the Sabbath day must be killed.
3 Da no, ogya mpo, monnsɔ bi ano wɔ mo afi mu.”
Don't even light a fire in any of your homes on the Sabbath day.”
4 Mose ka kyerɛɛ nnipa no nyinaa se, “Nsɛm a Awurade ahyɛ sɛ monyɛ ni:
Moses also told all the Israelites, “This is what the Lord has commanded:
5 Obiara a ɔpɛ no mfa saa afɔrebɔde yi mu biara mmrɛ Awurade: “Sikakɔkɔɔ, dwetɛ, kɔbere mfrafrae;
Collect an offering to the Lord from what you have. Everyone who wants to should bring an offering to the Lord: gold, silver, and bronze;
6 ntama a wɔde asaawa tuntum, bibiri ne koogyan ayɛ ne abirekyi nwi,

9 abo a ɛte sɛ apopobibiri ne abo a wɔde bɛhyehyɛ asɔfotade no ne nʼadɛbo no mu.
and onyx stones and gemstones for making the ephod and breastpiece.
10 “Mo a mowɔ nimdeɛ wɔ biribiyɛ ho no, mo nyinaa mommra na monyɛ nea Awurade aka no nyinaa te sɛ:
All your skilled craftsmen are to come and make everything the Lord has commanded:
11 “Ahyiae Ntamadan no so ntama ne ne nkataso, nkɔtɔkoro, mpuran nnua a esisi mu, adum ne nnyinaso;

and the woven clothes for serving in the holy place: the sacred clothing for Aaron the priest and for his sons to serve as priests.”
20 Na Israelmma nyinaa fii Mose anim,
The Israelites left 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.
and all those who felt moved to do so and who had a willing spirit came and brought an offering to the Lord for the work making the Tent of Meeting, for everything required for its services, and for the sacred clothing.
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.
So everyone who was willing, both men and women, came and presented their gold as a thanks offering to the Lord, including brooches, earrings, rings, and necklaces—all kinds of gold jewelry.
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.
Everyone who had blue, purple, and crimson thread, finely-woven linen, goat hair, tanned ram skins, and fine leather, contributed them.
24 Afoforo nso de dwetɛ ne kɔbere brɛɛ Awurade sɛ wɔn akyɛde. Ebinom de ɔkanto nnua nso bae.
Those who could present an offering of silver or bronze brought it as a gift to the Lord. Everyone who had acacia wood for any part of the work donated it.
25 Mmea no bi a wonim adepam yiye no too asaawa tuntum, bibiri ne koogyan de yɛɛ ntama a ɛyɛ fɛ de brɛɛ Awurade.
Every woman skilled in spinning with her hands brought what she had spun: blue, purple, or crimson thread, or finely-woven linen.
26 Afoforo nso de anigye nam wɔn dom akyɛde so de abirekyi nwi yɛɛ ntama.
All the women who were willing to use their skills spun the goat hair.
27 Mpanyimfo a wodi wɔn anim no de abo a ɛte sɛ apopobibiri bae sɛ wɔmfa nyɛ asɔfotade no ne nʼadɛbo.
The leaders brought onyx stones and gemstones to make the ephod and breastpiece,
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.
as well as spices and olive oil for lighting, for the anointing oil, and for the aromatic incense.
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 Israelite men and women who were willing brought a freewill offering to the Lord for all the work in making what the Lord through Moses had ordered them to do.
30 Mose ka kyerɛɛ Israelfo no se, “Awurade ayi Besaleel, Uri ba a ɔyɛ Hur a ofi Yuda abusua mu nena
Then Moses told the Israelites, “The Lord chosen by name Bezalel, son of Uri, 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.
He has filled him with the Spirit of God giving him ability, creativity, and expertise in all kinds of craftsmanship.
32 Obetumi adi adwinni afi sikakɔkɔɔ, dwetɛ, ne kɔbere mu.
He can produce designs in gold, silver, and bronze,
33 Obetumi adi abo adwinni na obetumi asen nnua nso; nokware mu, ɔwɔ ɔdom akyɛde bebree.
he can cut gemstones to place in settings, and he can carve wood. He is a master of every craft.
34 Na Onyankopɔn ama ɔno ne Oholiab a ɔyɛ Ahisamak a ofi Dan abusuakuw mu babarima ɔdom akyɛde a wɔnam so kyerɛ afoforo ade.
The Lord has also given him and Oholiab son of Ahisamach, from the tribe of Dan, the ability to teach others.
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 equipped them with skill to do all kinds of work as engravers, designers, embroiderers in blue, purple, and crimson thread, and finely-woven linen, and as weavers—in fact as skilled designers in all kinds of different crafts.
