2 Mose 40
1 Afei Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose se,
Then Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
2 “Ɔsram a edi kan no da a edi kan no na si Ahyiae Ntamadan no.
“On the first day of the first month of the new year you must 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.
You must place the ark of the testimony in it, and you must shield the ark with the curtain.
4 Afei, fa ɔpon no besi hɔ na fa ɛho nneɛma nyinaa gu so na fa kaneadua no bra na sɔ kanea no.
You must bring in the table and set in order the things that belong on it. Then you must bring in the lampstand and set up the 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.
You must put the golden incense altar before the ark of the testimony, and you must put the curtain at the entrance to the tabernacle.
6 “Fa ɔhyew afɔremuka no si Ahyiae Ntamadan no kwan ano.
You must put the altar for burnt offerings 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.
You must put the large basin between the tent of meeting and the altar and you must put water in it.
8 Siesie adiwo twa Ahyiae Ntamadan no ho hyia na fa nsɛnanim no sɛn ne kwan no ano.
You must set up the courtyard around it, and you must hang up the curtain at 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.
You must take the anointing oil and anoint the tabernacle and everything that is in it. You must set it apart and all its furnishings to me; then it will be holy.
10 Ɔhyew afɔremuka no ne ɛho nneɛma nyinaa nso, pete ɔsra ngo no bi gu so na tew ho na ɛnyɛ kronkron.
You must anoint the altar for burnt offerings and all its utensils. You must set apart the altar to me and it will become very holy to me.
11 Sra hweaseammɔ no ne ne ntaease no ngo na fa tew ho.
You must anoint the bronze basin and its base and set it apart to me.
12 “Fa Aaron ne ne mmabarima no bra Ahyiae Ntamadan no kwan ano na fa nsu hohoro wɔn ho.
You are to bring Aaron and his sons to the entrance of the tent of meeting and you must wash them with water.
13 Na fa atade kronkron no hyɛ Aaron, na sra no ngo na ne ho ntew na ɔmmɛyɛ me sɔfo.
You are to clothe Aaron with the garments that are set apart to me, anoint him and set him apart so that he may serve as my priest.
14 Fa ne mmabarima no bra na fa wɔn ntade hyehyɛ wɔn.
You are to bring his sons and clothe them with coats.
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.”
You must anoint them as you anointed their father so that they may serve me as priests. Their anointing will make for them a permanent priesthood throughout their people's generations.”
16 Mose yɛɛ biribiara sɛnea Awurade hyɛɛ no no.
This is what Moses did; he followed all that Yahweh had commanded him. He did all these things.
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 in 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.
Moses set up the tabernacle, put its bases in place, set up its frames, attached its bars, and set up its pillars and 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.
He spread the covering over the tabernacle and put tent over it, as Yahweh 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.
He took the covenant decrees and put them into the ark. He also placed the poles on the ark and put the atonement lid on it.
21 Afei, ɔde Apam Adaka no besii Ahyiae Ntamadan no mu de ntwamtam no twaa mu, sɛnea Awurade hyɛɛ no no.
He brought the ark into the tabernacle. He set up the curtain for it to shield the ark of the testimony, as Yahweh had commanded him.
22 Afei, ɔde ɔpon no sii atifi fam wɔ ɔdan no mu wɔ ntwamtam no akyi,
He put the table into the tent of meeting, on the north side of the tabernacle, outside the curtain.
23 de Ɔkyerɛ Brodo no too so wɔ Awurade anim sɛnea Awurade hyɛe no.
He placed the bread in order on the table before Yahweh, as Yahweh had commanded him.
24 Ɔde kaneadua no sii ɔpon no nkyɛn wɔ Ahyiae Ntamadan no anafo fam.
He put the lampstand into the tent of meeting, across from the table, on the south side of the tabernacle.
25 Afei, ɔsɔɔ kanea no wɔ Awurade anim sɛnea Awurade hyɛɛ no no.
He lit the lamps before Yahweh, as Yahweh had commanded him.
26 Mose de sikakɔkɔɔ afɔremuka sii ntwamtam no ho pɛɛ wɔ Ahyiae Ntamadan no mu
He put the golden incense altar into the tent of meeting in front of the curtain.
27 na ɔhyew nnuhuam wɔ so sɛnea Awurade hyɛe no.
He burned fragrant incense on it, as Yahweh had commanded him.
28 Ɔde Ahyiae Ntamadan no ano nkataano sɛn ano.
He hung the curtain at the tabernacle entrance.
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 put the altar for the burnt offering at the entrance to the tabernacle, the tent of meeting. He offered on it the burnt offering and the grain offering, as Yahweh 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 he 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 washed their hands and their feet from the basin
32 Bere biara a wɔbɛfa afɔremuka no ho akɔ Ahyiae Ntamadan no mu no, wogyina hohoroo wɔn ho sɛnea Awurade hyɛɛ Mose no.
whenever they would go into the tent of meeting and whenever they would go up to the altar. They washed themselves, as Yahweh 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.
Moses set up the courtyard around the tabernacle and the altar. He set up the curtain at the courtyard entrance. In this way, 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 Yahweh's glory 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 not able to enter the tent of meeting because the cloud had settled on it, and because Yahweh's glory filled the tabernacle.
36 Bere biara a omununkum no bɛma ne ho so no, na Israelfo no nso di akyi.
Whenever the cloud was taken up from over the tabernacle, the people of Israel would set out on their journey.
37 Na sɛ egyina a, na wɔn nso agyina akosi sɛ ɛbɛma ne ho so bio.
But if the cloud did not rise up from the tabernacle, then the people would not travel. They would stay until the day that it was lifted 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 Yahweh's cloud was over the tabernacle by day, and his fire was over it by night, in plain view of all the people of Israel throughout their journey.
