2 Mose 40
1 Afei Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose se,
Then the LORD said to Moses,
2 “Ɔsram a edi kan no da a edi kan no na si Ahyiae Ntamadan no.
“On the first day of the first month you are to set up the tabernacle, the Tent of Meeting.
3 Wusi wie a, fa Apam Adaka a Mmaransɛm Du no wɔ mu no si mu. Na fa ntwamtam no twa Apam Adaka no anim ma ɛnhyɛ kronkron mu kronkron hɔ.
Put the ark of the Testimony in it and screen off the ark with the veil.
4 Afei, fa ɔpon no besi hɔ na fa ɛho nneɛma nyinaa gu so na fa kaneadua no bra na sɔ kanea no.
Then bring in the table and set out its arrangement; bring in the lampstand as well, and set up its lamps.
5 Fa sikakɔkɔɔ afɔremuka a wɔbɛhyew aduhuam wɔ so no besi Apam Adaka no anim na fa ɔpon no nkataanim sɛn Ahyiae Ntamadan no ano.
Place the gold altar of incense in front of the ark of the Testimony, and hang the curtain at the entrance to the tabernacle.
6 “Fa ɔhyew afɔremuka no si Ahyiae Ntamadan no kwan ano.
Place the altar of burnt offering in front of the entrance to the tabernacle, the Tent of Meeting.
7 Fa hweaseammɔ no si Ahyiae Ntamadan no ne afɔremuka no ntam na hyɛ no nsu ma.
And place the basin between the Tent of Meeting and the altar, and put water in it.
8 Siesie adiwo twa Ahyiae Ntamadan no ho hyia na fa nsɛnanim no sɛn ne kwan no ano.
Set up the surrounding courtyard and hang the curtain for the entrance to the courtyard.
9 “Fa ɔsrango no na pete gu Ahyiae Ntamadan no so baabiara ne biribiara a ɛwɔ mu ne nneɛma a ɛwɔ hɔ nyinaa ne nkongua so, na fa tew ho.
Take the anointing oil and anoint the tabernacle and everything in it; consecrate it along with all its furnishings, and it shall be holy.
10 Ɔhyew afɔremuka no ne ɛho nneɛma nyinaa nso, pete ɔsra ngo no bi gu so na tew ho na ɛnyɛ kronkron.
Anoint the altar of burnt offering and all its utensils; consecrate the altar, and it shall be most holy.
11 Sra hweaseammɔ no ne ne ntaease no ngo na fa tew ho.
Anoint the basin and its stand and consecrate them.
12 “Fa Aaron ne ne mmabarima no bra Ahyiae Ntamadan no kwan ano na fa nsu hohoro wɔn ho.
Then bring Aaron and his sons to the entrance to the Tent of Meeting and wash them with water.
13 Na fa atade kronkron no hyɛ Aaron, na sra no ngo na ne ho ntew na ɔmmɛyɛ me sɔfo.
And you are to clothe Aaron with the holy garments, anoint him, and consecrate him, so that he may serve Me as a priest.
14 Fa ne mmabarima no bra na fa wɔn ntade hyehyɛ wɔn.
Bring his sons forward and clothe them with tunics.
15 Sra wɔn ngo sɛnea woyɛɛ wɔn agya no, sɛnea wɔbɛsom me sɛ asɔfo. Wɔn ngosra no bɛyɛ asɔfodi wɔ wɔn awo ntoatoaso nyinaa mu.”
Anoint them just as you anointed their father, so that they may also serve Me as priests. Their anointing will qualify them for a permanent priesthood throughout their generations.”
16 Mose yɛɛ biribiara sɛnea Awurade hyɛɛ no no.
Moses did everything just as the LORD had commanded him.
17 Afe a ɛto so abien no mu ɔsram a edi kan no da a edi kan no, wɔkekaa Ahyiae Ntamadan no sisii anim.
So the tabernacle was set up on the first day of the first month of the second year.
18 Mose sii Ahyiae Ntamadan no; ɔde nsisiso no sisii wɔn afa, de nnyinaso no hyehyɛɛ mu de mmeamu nnua beabea mu de mpuran sisii wɔn afa.
When Moses set up the tabernacle, he laid its bases, positioned its frames, inserted its crossbars, and set up its posts.
19 Afei, ɔde nkuruso no kuruu mpuran no so de ne nguguso guguu so san de nguguso a edi akyi kuruu so sɛnea Awurade hyɛɛ no no.
Then he spread the tent over the tabernacle and put the covering over the tent, just as the LORD had commanded him.
20 Ɔde abo a wɔakyerɛw Mmaransɛm Du no wɔ so no guu Apam Adaka no mu de nnua a wɔde bɛsoa no susoo mu. Ɔde ne nkataso a wɔde sikakɔkɔɔ ayɛ a ɛyɛ mpata nkataso no kataa so.
Moses took the Testimony and placed it in the ark, attaching the poles to the ark; and he set the mercy seat atop the ark.
21 Afei, ɔde Apam Adaka no besii Ahyiae Ntamadan no mu de ntwamtam no twaa mu, sɛnea Awurade hyɛɛ no no.
Then he brought the ark into the tabernacle, put up the veil for the screen, and shielded off the ark of the Testimony, just as the LORD had commanded him.
22 Afei, ɔde ɔpon no sii atifi fam wɔ ɔdan no mu wɔ ntwamtam no akyi,
Moses placed the table in the Tent of Meeting on the north side of the tabernacle, outside the veil.
23 de Ɔkyerɛ Brodo no too so wɔ Awurade anim sɛnea Awurade hyɛe no.
He arranged the bread on it before the LORD, just as the LORD had commanded him.
24 Ɔde kaneadua no sii ɔpon no nkyɛn wɔ Ahyiae Ntamadan no anafo fam.
He also placed the lampstand in the Tent of Meeting opposite the table on the south side of the tabernacle
25 Afei, ɔsɔɔ kanea no wɔ Awurade anim sɛnea Awurade hyɛɛ no no.
and set up the lamps before the LORD, just as the LORD had commanded him.
26 Mose de sikakɔkɔɔ afɔremuka sii ntwamtam no ho pɛɛ wɔ Ahyiae Ntamadan no mu
Moses placed the gold altar in the Tent of Meeting, in front of the veil,
27 na ɔhyew nnuhuam wɔ so sɛnea Awurade hyɛe no.
and he burned fragrant incense on it, just as the LORD had commanded him.
28 Ɔde Ahyiae Ntamadan no ano nkataano sɛn ano.
Then he put up the curtain at the entrance to the tabernacle.
29 Ɔde afɔremuka a esi akyi a wɔbɔ ɔhyew afɔre wɔ so no si bɛn ɔkwan no ano, na ɔbɔɔ so ɔhyew afɔre ne aduan afɔre sɛnea Awurade hyɛe no.
He placed the altar of burnt offering near the entrance to the tabernacle, the Tent of Meeting, and offered on it the burnt offering and the grain offering, just as the LORD had commanded him.
30 Ɔde hweaseammɔ sii Ahyiae Ntamadan no ne afɔremuka no ntam na wɔhyɛɛ no nsu ma, sɛnea asɔfo no benya bi ahohoro wɔn ho,
He placed the basin between the Tent of Meeting and the altar and put water in it for washing;
31 na Mose ne Aaron ne Aaron mmabarima hohoroo wɔn nsa ho ne wɔn anan ase wɔ hɔ.
and from it Moses, Aaron, and his sons washed their hands and feet.
32 Bere biara a wɔbɛfa afɔremuka no ho akɔ Ahyiae Ntamadan no mu no, wogyina hohoroo wɔn ho sɛnea Awurade hyɛɛ Mose no.
They washed whenever they entered the Tent of Meeting or approached the altar, just as the LORD had commanded Moses.
33 Na Mose sii biribi twaa Ahyiae Ntamadan no ne afɔremuka no ho hyiae na wɔde nsɛnanotam sɛn ano. Ɛnna Mose wiee nʼadwuma.
And Moses set up the courtyard around the tabernacle and the altar, and he hung the curtain for the entrance to the courtyard. So Moses finished the work.
34 Omununkum no bɛkataa Ahyiae Ntamadan no so maa Awurade anuonyam hyɛɛ no ma.
Then the cloud covered the Tent of Meeting, and the glory of the LORD filled the tabernacle.
35 Esiane sɛ na omununkum no asi wɔ hɔ no nti, Mose antumi ankɔ mu na Awurade anuonyam hyɛɛ Ahyiae Ntamadan no ma.
Moses was unable to enter the Tent of Meeting because the cloud had settled on it, and the glory of the LORD filled the tabernacle.
36 Bere biara a omununkum no bɛma ne ho so no, na Israelfo no nso di akyi.
Whenever the cloud was lifted from above the tabernacle, the Israelites would set out through all the stages of their journey.
37 Na sɛ egyina a, na wɔn nso agyina akosi sɛ ɛbɛma ne ho so bio.
If the cloud was not lifted, they would not set out until the day it was taken up.
38 Awia de, omununkum no gyina Ahyiae Ntamadan no so na sɛ edu anadwo a, na ogya asɔ wɔ omununkum no mu sɛnea Israelfo no nyinaa behu. Eyi toaa so saa ara wɔ wɔn akwantu no nyinaa mu.
For the cloud of the LORD was over the tabernacle by day, and fire was in the cloud by night, in the sight of all the house of Israel through all their journeys.
