4 Mose 10

1 Afei, Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose se,

And the LORD spake 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 a whole piece shalt thou make them: that thou mayest use them for the calling of the assembly, and for the journeying of the camps.

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 assembly shall assemble themselves to thee at the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.

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 [trumpet], then the princes, [which are] 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.

When ye blow an alarm, then the camps that lie on the east parts shall go forward.

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.

When ye blow an alarm the second time, then the camps that lie on the south side shall take their journey: 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 congregation 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 an ordinance 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 if ye go to war in your land against the enemy that oppresseth you, then ye shall blow 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 solemn days, and in the beginnings of your months, ye shall blow with the trumpets over your burnt offerings, and over the sacrifices of your peace offerings; that they may 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 on the twentieth [day] of the second month, in the second year, that the cloud was taken up from off 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 took their journeys out of the wilderness of Sinai; and the cloud rested in the wilderness of Paran.

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

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

14 Akwantu no mu no, mmusua a wɔhyɛ Yuda abusuakuw no ase, a Aminadab babarima Nahson tua ano na otuu wɔn frankaa ma wodii kan.

In the first [place] went the standard of the camp of the children of Judah according to their armies: and over his host [was] Nahshon the son of Amminadab.

And the standard of the camp of the children of Dan set forward, [which was] the rereward of all the camps throughout their hosts: and over his host [was] Ahiezer the son of Ammishaddai.

28 Saa nhyehyɛe yi na Israel mmusuakuw yi faa so tuu wɔn kwan no.

Thus [ were] the journeyings of the children of Israel according to their armies, when 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 Raguel 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 mayest 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 goodness 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 departed from the mount of the LORD three days’ journey: and the ark of the covenant of the LORD went before them in the three days’ journey, to search 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] upon them by day, when they went out of 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, 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 many thousands of Israel.
