4 Mose 10

1 Afei, Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose se,

And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying:

2 “Fa dwetɛ a wɔaboro yɛ ntorobɛnto abien, na ɛyɛ a wɔahyɛn de afrɛ nnipa no, na edu ntamadan no tu so nso a, wɔahyɛn.

'Make thee two trumpets of silver; of beaten work shalt thou make them; and they shall be unto thee for the calling of the congregation, and for causing the camps to set forward.

3 Sɛ wɔhyɛn ntorobɛnto abien no a, nnipa no behu sɛ, ɛsɛ sɛ wɔboa wɔn ho ano wɔ Ahyiae Ntamadan no ano.

And when they shall blow with them, all the congregation shall gather themselves unto thee at the door of the tent of meeting.

4 Na sɛ wɔhyɛn baako pɛ a, na ɛkyerɛ sɛ Israel mmusua no mu mpanyimfo na ɛsɛ sɛ wɔba wo nkyɛn.

And if they blow but with one, then the princes, the heads of the thousands of Israel, shall gather themselves unto thee.

5 Sɛ mohyɛn de kyerɛ sɛ monkɔ mo anim a, mmusuakuw a wɔwɔ Ahyiae Ntamadan apuei fam no betu afi wɔn atenae hɔ na wɔakɔ.

And when ye blow an alarm, the camps that lie on the east side shall take their journey.

6 Sɛ mohyɛn nea ɛto so abien no a, mmusuakuw a wɔwɔ anafo fam no bedi so. Monhyɛn no ntiantia mu mfa nkyerɛ sɛ wɔnkɔ.

And when ye blow an alarm the second time, the camps that lie on the south side shall set forward; they shall blow an alarm for their journeys.

7 Na sɛ mofrɛ nnipa no ama wɔabehyia a, momfa ɔkwan foforo so nhyɛn ntorobɛnto no.

But when the assembly is to be gathered together, ye shall blow, but ye shall not sound an alarm.

8 “Aaron mmabarima asɔfo nko ara na wɔbɛma wɔn kwan ama wɔahyɛn ntorobɛnto no. Eyi yɛ mmara a ɛbɛtena hɔ daa ama awo ntoatoaso a ɛbɛba no nyinaa.

And the sons of Aaron, the priests, shall blow with the trumpets; and they shall be to you for a statute for ever throughout your generations.

9 Sɛ mudu Bɔhyɛ Asase no so na mo ne mo atamfo a wɔhyɛ mo so no ko a mohyɛn ntorobɛnto no. Na, Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn bɛkae mo na wagye mo afi mo atamfo nsam.

And when ye go to war in your land against the adversary that oppresseth you, then ye shall sound an alarm with the trumpets; and ye shall be remembered before the LORD your God, and ye shall be saved from your enemies.

10 Anigyebere mu nso, monhyɛn ntorobɛnto no. Afe mu dapɔnna nso, monhyɛn. Ɔsram biara mfiase nso, monhyɛn mfa nnye mo ani wɔ ɔhyew afɔre ne asomdwoe afɔre ho. Sɛ moyɛ saa a, ɛbɛkae Onyankopɔn apam a ɔne mo wɔ no. Na mene Awurade mo Nyankopɔn.”

Also in the day of your gladness, and in your appointed seasons, and in your new moons, ye shall blow with the trumpets over your burnt-offerings, and over the sacrifices of your peace-offerings; and they shall be to you for a memorial before your God: I am the LORD your God.'

11 Ɔsram a ɛto so abien no da a ɛto so aduonu no a ɛyɛ mfe abien a Israelfo fii Misraim no, omununkum no pagyaw ne ho fii Ahyiae Ntamadan no so,

And it came to pass in the second year, in the second month, on the twentieth day of the month, that the cloud was taken up from over the tabernacle of the testimony.

12 enti Israelfo no fii Sinai sare so hɔ dii omununkum no akyi kosii sɛ ekogyinaa Paran sare so.

And the children of Israel set forward by their stages out of the wilderness of Sinai; and the cloud abode in the wilderness of Paran. —

13 Bere a ɛsɛ sɛ wotu no duu no, Awurade nam Mose so ka kyerɛɛ wɔn.

And they took their first journey, according to the commandment of the LORD by the hand of Moses.

Thus were the journeyings of the children of Israel according to their hosts. — And they set forward.

29 Afei, Mose ka kyerɛɛ nʼase Hobab, Midiani Reuel ba se, “Eyi nyinaa akyi no, yɛrekɔ beae a Awurade kae se, ‘Mede bɛma mo no.’ Bra na yɛnkɔ na yɛbɛhwɛ wo so yiye; efisɛ Awurade ahyɛ Israelfo nnepa ho bɔ.”

And Moses said unto Hobab, the son of Reuel the Midianite, Moses' father-in-law: 'We are journeying unto the place of which the LORD said: I will give it you; come thou with us, and we will do thee good; for the LORD hath spoken good concerning Israel.'

30 Obuae se, “Dabi, merenkɔ; merekɔ mʼasase so ne mʼabusuafo nkyɛn.”

And he said unto him: 'I will not go; but I will depart to mine own land, and to my kindred.'

31 Nanso Mose kae se, “Mesrɛ wo, nnyaw yɛn. Wo na wunim faako a ɛsɛ sɛ yɛtena wɔ sare no so, na wubetumi ayɛ yɛn kwankyerɛfo.

And he said: 'Leave us not, I pray thee; forasmuch as thou knowest how we are to encamp in the wilderness, and thou shalt be to us instead of eyes.

32 Sɛ wo ne yɛn kɔ a, nneɛma pa a Awurade de bɛma yɛn no nyinaa, wubenya bi.”

And it shall be, if thou go with us, yea, it shall be, that what good soever the LORD shall do unto us, the same will we do unto thee.'

33 Enti wofi Awurade Bepɔw so nantew nnansa. Awurade Apam Adaka no dii wɔn anim hwehwɛɛ baabi a wɔbɛsoɛ maa wɔn.

And they set forward from the mount of the LORD three days' journey; and the ark of the covenant of the LORD went before them three days' journey, to seek out a resting-place for them.

34 Wofii wɔn akwantu no ase awia a wɔrekɔ no nyinaa na Awurade mununkum no di wɔn anim.

And the cloud of the LORD was over them by day, when they set forward from the camp.

35 Bere biara a wɔbɛma adaka no so asi mu no, Mose teɛ mu se, “Awurade, sɔre! Ma wʼatamfo nhwete; ma wɔn nyinaa nguan mfi wʼanim.”

And it came to pass, when the ark set forward, that Moses said: 'Rise up, O LORD, and let Thine enemies be scattered; and let them that hate Thee flee before Thee.'

36 Bere biara a wɔbɛsoɛ adaka no, ɔka se, “Awurade, san bra Israelfo mpempem a wontumi nkan wɔn no mu.”

And when it rested, he said: 'Return, O LORD, unto the ten thousands of the families of Israel.'
