The Lord told Moses,
2 “Ɔsram a edi kan no da a edi kan no na si Ahyiae Ntamadan no.
“Put up the Tabernacle, the Tent of Meeting, on the first day of the first month of the year.
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.
Place the Ark of the Testimony inside it. Make sure the Ark is behind 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.
Bring in the table and put on it what's necessary. Bring in the lampstand too, 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 put up the screen at the entrance to the Tabernacle.
6 “Fa ɔhyew afɔremuka no si Ahyiae Ntamadan no kwan ano.
Set up the altar of burnt offering opposite 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.
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 courtyard that's around it, and put up the curtain for the courtyard entrance.
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.
Use the anointing oil to anoint the Tabernacle and everything in it. Dedicate it and all its furniture to make it 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. Dedicate the altar and it will be especially holy.

Anoint and dedicate the basin with its stand.
12 “Fa Aaron ne ne mmabarima no bra Ahyiae Ntamadan no kwan ano na fa nsu hohoro wɔn ho.
Take Aaron and his sons to the entrance of the Tent of Meeting and wash them there with water.
13 Na fa atade kronkron no hyɛ Aaron, na sra no ngo na ne ho ntew na ɔmmɛyɛ me sɔfo.
Then you are to put on Aaron the holy clothes, anoint him, and dedicate him, so that he may serve me as a priest.
14 Fa ne mmabarima no bra na fa wɔn ntade hyehyɛ wɔn.
Have his sons come forward and dress 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 in the same way as you anointed their father, so that they can also serve me as priests. Their anointing makes their line priests forever, for generations to come.”
16 Mose yɛɛ biribiara sɛnea Awurade hyɛɛ no no.
Moses carried out all the Lord's instructions.
17 Afe a ɛto so abien no mu ɔsram a edi kan no da a edi kan no, wɔkekaa Ahyiae Ntamadan no sisii anim.
The Tabernacle was put 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 put up the Tabernacle, he placed its stands, attached its frames, connected its crossbars, and erected 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 placed the covering over the tent, as the Lord had ordered him to do.
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 put it in the Ark. He attached the poles to the Ark, and he placed the atonement cover on the top of 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 carried the Ark into the Tabernacle. He put up the veil, and made sure the Ark of the Testimony was behind it, as the Lord had ordered him to do.
22 Afei, ɔde ɔpon no sii atifi fam wɔ ɔdan no mu wɔ ntwamtam no akyi,
Moses placed the table inside 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 laid out the bread on it in the presence of the Lord, as the Lord had ordered him to do.
24 Ɔde kaneadua no sii ɔpon no nkyɛn wɔ Ahyiae Ntamadan no anafo fam.
He 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 put up the lamps in the presence of the Lord, as the Lord had ordered him to do.
26 Mose de sikakɔkɔɔ afɔremuka sii ntwamtam no ho pɛɛ wɔ Ahyiae Ntamadan no mu
Moses set up 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 aromatic incense on it, as the Lord had ordered him to do.
28 Ɔde Ahyiae Ntamadan no ano nkataano sɛn ano.
Then he put up the screen 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 set up the altar of burnt offering near the entrance to the Tabernacle, the Tent of Meeting, and presented the burnt offering and the grain offering, as the Lord had ordered him to do.
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.
Moses, Aaron, and his sons used it to wash 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 went into the Tent of Meeting or approached the altar, as the Lord had ordered Moses to do.
33 Na Mose sii biribi twaa Ahyiae Ntamadan no ne afɔremuka no ho hyiae na wɔde nsɛnanotam sɛn ano. Ɛnna Mose wiee nʼadwuma.
Moses set up the courtyard around the Tabernacle and the altar, and he put up the curtain for the courtyard entrance. This marked the end of the work done by Moses.
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 could not enter the Tent of Meeting because the cloud remained 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 rose from the Tabernacle, the Israelites would set off again on their journey.
37 Na sɛ egyina a, na wɔn nso agyina akosi sɛ ɛbɛma ne ho so bio.
If the cloud did not rise, they wouldn't set out until it did.
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.
The cloud of the Lord stayed over the Tabernacle by day, and fire burned inside the cloud by night, so that it could be seen by every Israelite wherever they traveled.
