2 Mose 40
1 Afei Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose se,
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
2 “Ɔsram a edi kan no da a edi kan no na si Ahyiae Ntamadan no.
The first month, the first day of the month, thou shalt set up the tabernacle of the testimony,
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.
And shalt put the ark in it, and shalt let down the veil before it:
4 Afei, fa ɔpon no besi hɔ na fa ɛho nneɛma nyinaa gu so na fa kaneadua no bra na sɔ kanea no.
And thou shalt bring in the table, and set upon it the things that are commanded according to the rite. The candlestick shall stand with 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.
And the altar of gold whereon the incense is burnt, before the ark of the testimony. Thou shalt put the hanging in the entry of the tabernacle,
6 “Fa ɔhyew afɔremuka no si Ahyiae Ntamadan no kwan ano.
And before it the altar of holocaust:
7 Fa hweaseammɔ no si Ahyiae Ntamadan no ne afɔremuka no ntam na hyɛ no nsu ma.
The laver between the altar and the tabernacle, and thou shalt fill it with water.
8 Siesie adiwo twa Ahyiae Ntamadan no ho hyia na fa nsɛnanim no sɛn ne kwan no ano.
And thou shalt encompass the court with hangings, and the entry thereof.
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.
And thou shalt take the oil of unction and anoint the tabernacle with its vessels, that they may be sanctified:
10 Ɔhyew afɔremuka no ne ɛho nneɛma nyinaa nso, pete ɔsra ngo no bi gu so na tew ho na ɛnyɛ kronkron.
The altar of holocaust and all its vessels:
11 Sra hweaseammɔ no ne ne ntaease no ngo na fa tew ho.
The laver with its foot: thou shalt consecrate all with the oil of unction, that they may be most holy.
12 “Fa Aaron ne ne mmabarima no bra Ahyiae Ntamadan no kwan ano na fa nsu hohoro wɔn ho.
And thou shalt bring Aaron and his sons to the door of the tabernacle of the testimony, and having washed them with water,
13 Na fa atade kronkron no hyɛ Aaron, na sra no ngo na ne ho ntew na ɔmmɛyɛ me sɔfo.
14 Fa ne mmabarima no bra na fa wɔn ntade hyehyɛ wɔn.
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.”
Thou shalt put on them the holy vestments, that they may minister to me, and that the unction of them may prosper to an everlasting priesthood.
16 Mose yɛɛ biribiara sɛnea Awurade hyɛɛ no no.
And Moses did all that the Lord had commanded.
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 in the first month of the second year, the first day of the month, the tabernacle was set up.
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.
And Moses reared it up, and placed the boards and the sockets and the bars, and set up the pillars,
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.
And spread the roof over the tabernacle, putting over it a cover, as the Lord had commanded.
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.
And he put the testimony in the ark, thrusting bars underneath, and the oracle above.
21 Afei, ɔde Apam Adaka no besii Ahyiae Ntamadan no mu de ntwamtam no twaa mu, sɛnea Awurade hyɛɛ no no.
And when he had brought the ark into the tabernacle, he drew the veil before it to fulfill the commandment of the Lord.
22 Afei, ɔde ɔpon no sii atifi fam wɔ ɔdan no mu wɔ ntwamtam no akyi,
And he set the table in the tabernacle of the testimony at the north side without the veil,
23 de Ɔkyerɛ Brodo no too so wɔ Awurade anim sɛnea Awurade hyɛe no.
Setting there in order the loaves of proposition, as the Lord had commanded Moses.
24 Ɔde kaneadua no sii ɔpon no nkyɛn wɔ Ahyiae Ntamadan no anafo fam.
He set the candlestick also in the tabernacle of the testimony over against the table on the south side,
25 Afei, ɔsɔɔ kanea no wɔ Awurade anim sɛnea Awurade hyɛɛ no no.
Placing the lamps in order, according to the precept of the Lord.
26 Mose de sikakɔkɔɔ afɔremuka sii ntwamtam no ho pɛɛ wɔ Ahyiae Ntamadan no mu
He set also the altar of gold under the roof of the testimony over against the veil,
27 na ɔhyew nnuhuam wɔ so sɛnea Awurade hyɛe no.
And burnt upon it the incense of spices, as the Lord had commanded Moses.
28 Ɔde Ahyiae Ntamadan no ano nkataano sɛn ano.
And he put also the hanging in the entry of the tabernacle of the testimony,
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.
And the altar of holocaust of the entry of the testimony, offering the holocaust, and the sacrifices upon it, as the Lord had commanded.
30 Ɔde hweaseammɔ sii Ahyiae Ntamadan no ne afɔremuka no ntam na wɔhyɛɛ no nsu ma, sɛnea asɔfo no benya bi ahohoro wɔn ho,
And he set the laver between the tabernacle of the testimony and the altar, filling it with water.
31 na Mose ne Aaron ne Aaron mmabarima hohoroo wɔn nsa ho ne wɔn anan ase wɔ hɔ.
And Moses and 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.
When they went into the tabernacle of the covenant, and went to the altar, 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.
He set up also the court round about the tabernacle and the altar, drawing the hanging in the entry thereof. After all things were perfected,
34 Omununkum no bɛkataa Ahyiae Ntamadan no so maa Awurade anuonyam hyɛɛ no ma.
The cloud covered the tabernacle of the testimony, and the glory of the Lord filled it.
35 Esiane sɛ na omununkum no asi wɔ hɔ no nti, Mose antumi ankɔ mu na Awurade anuonyam hyɛɛ Ahyiae Ntamadan no ma.
Neither could Moses go into the tabernacle of the covenant, the cloud covering all things and the majesty of the Lord shining, for the cloud had covered all.
36 Bere biara a omununkum no bɛma ne ho so no, na Israelfo no nso di akyi.
If at any time the cloud removed from the tabernacle, the children of Israel went forward by their troops:
37 Na sɛ egyina a, na wɔn nso agyina akosi sɛ ɛbɛma ne ho so bio.
If it hung over, they remained in the same place.
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 hung over the tabernacle by day, and a fire by night, in the sight of all the children of Israel throughout all their mansions.
