4 Mose 9
1 Ɔsram a edi kan no mu afe a ɛto so abien no mu a wɔafi Misraim no na Awurade kaa saa asɛm yi kyerɛɛ Mose bere a ɔne Israelfo wɔ Sinai sare no so no se,
The Lord spoke to Moses in the desert of Sinai, in the second year after they departed from the land of Egypt, in the first month, saying:
2 “Ma Israelfo no nni Twam Afahyɛ no wɔ ne bere ano.
“Let the sons of Israel observe the Passover at its proper time,
3 Munni no wɔ ne bere ano, na mofa ne mmara akwan ahorow no nyinaa so nni wɔ ɔsram yi da a ɛto so dunan no anwummere.”
on the fourteenth day of this month, in the evening, according to all of its ceremonies and justifications.”
4 Enti Mose ka kyerɛɛ Israelfo no se wonni Twam Afahyɛ no,
And Moses instructed the sons of Israel, so that they would observe the Passover.
5 na wɔyɛɛ saa wɔ Sinai Nweatam no so wɔ ɔsram a edi kan no da a ɛto so dunan no anwummere. Na Israelfo no yɛɛ biribiara pɛpɛɛpɛ sɛnea Awurade hyɛɛ Mose no.
And they observed it at its proper time: on the fourteenth day of the month, in the evening, at mount Sinai. The sons of Israel acted according to all the things that the Lord had commanded Moses.
6 Nanso na nnipa no bi fi ayi aba a esiane sɛ wɔde wɔn ho aka owufo nti na wɔn ho agu fi. Eyi nti wɔantumi anni Twam Afahyɛ no bi. Enti wɔbaa Mose ne Aaron nkyɛn da no ara
But behold, certain ones, who were not able to observe the Passover on that day, being unclean because of the life of a man, approaching Moses and Aaron,
7 bɛka kyerɛɛ Mose se, “Yɛde yɛn ho aka funu ama yɛn ho agu fi, nanso dɛn nti na yɛne Israelfo nyinaa rentumi mfa yɛn afɔrebɔde mmrɛ Awurade sɛnea nhyehyɛe no te no?”
said to them: “We are unclean because of the life of a man. Why have we been cheated, in that we are not permitted to offer, at its proper time, the oblation to the Lord among the sons of Israel?”
8 Mose buaa wɔn se, “Montwɛn mma mimmisa sɛnea Awurade mmara no ka fa mo ho.”
And Moses responded to them: “Remain, so that I may consult the Lord, as to what he will rule about you.”
9 Na Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose se,
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
10 “Ka kyerɛ Israelfo no se, Obiara a obeso funu mu, sɛ ɔyɛ nnɛmma anaa ofi awo ntoatoaso a ɛreba no mu wɔ Twam Afahyɛ bere a ɛbɛma ne ho agu fi anaa ɔnam akwantu so nti wɔantumi amma no tumi di Awurade Twam Afahyɛ no,
“Say to the sons of Israel: The man who becomes unclean because of a life, or if he is on a distant journey within your nation, let him observe the Passover to the Lord.
11 nanso ɔsram a ɛto so abien no da a ɛto so dunan no anwummere na ɛsɛ sɛ wodi. Saa bere no na ɛsɛ sɛ wɔwe oguamma no a brodo a mmɔkaw nni mu ka ho a naban nweenwen ka ho.
In the second month, on the fourteenth day of the month, in the evening, they shall eat it with unleavened bread and wild lettuce.
12 Ɛnsɛ sɛ wogyaw bi ma ade kye so, anaa wɔbɔ ne dompe mu. Na ɛsɛ sɛ wodi Twam Afahyɛ no mmara no nyinaa so pɛpɛɛpɛ.
They shall not leave behind any of it until morning, and they shall not break a bone of it; they shall observe all the rituals of the Passover.
13 Nanso obiara a ne ho nguu fi anaa obi a ontuu kwan nanso wanni Twam Afahyɛ no wɔ ne bere ano no, ɛsɛ sɛ wotwa no asu afi Israelfo no mu wɔ afɔre a wamma ammɛbɔ amma Awurade bere a ɛsɛ mu no nti. Wɔbɛsoa wɔn afɔdi ho sodi.
But if any man was both clean, and not on a journey, and yet he did not observe the Passover, that soul shall be exterminated from among his people, because he did not offer the sacrifice to the Lord in its time. He shall bear his sin.
14 “Ɛsɛ sɛ ɔhɔho a ɔfra mo mu no fa mmara koro no ara so di Awurade Twam Afahyɛ no. Ɛsɛ sɛ ɔhɔho ne okuroni nyinaa di mmara koro no so.”
Likewise, the sojourner and the newcomer, if they are among you, shall observe the Passover to the Lord according to its ceremonies and justifications. The same precept shall be with you, as much for the newcomer as for the native.”
15 Da a wɔmaa Ahyiae Ntamadan no so sii hɔ no, omununkum kataa so. Anwummere no ara, omununkum no dan yɛɛ sɛ ogya na ɛyɛɛ saa ara anadwo mu no nyinaa de kosii adekyee.
And so, on the day when the tabernacle was raised, a cloud covered it. But over the tabernacle, from evening until morning, there was, as it seemed, the appearance of fire.
16 Saa ara na ɛte bere biara, na edu anadwo a, mununkum no dan yɛ sɛ ogya.
This was so continually: throughout the day a cloud covered it, and throughout the night, the appearance of fire.
17 Omununkum no maa ne ho so no, Israelfo no dii akyi kosii baabiara a ɛkɔ kogyina ma wɔbɔɔ hɔ atenae.
And when the cloud that was protecting the tabernacle had been taken up, then the sons of Israel advanced forward, and in the place where the cloud had remained standing, there they made camp.
18 Eyi kyerɛ sɛ, sɛ Awurade ka se wɔnkɔ a, wɔkɔ, na sɛ ɔka se wonnyina a, wogyina. Na sɛ Omununkum no gyina a, wɔn nso gyina mmere dodow a egyina hɔ no nyinaa.
Upon the order of the Lord they advanced, and upon his order they fixed the tabernacle. All the days during which the cloud was standing over the tabernacle, they remained in the same place.
19 Sɛ egyina baabi kyɛ a, wɔn nso gyina hɔ kyɛ. Na sɛ egyina hɔ nna kakraa bi a, wɔn nso gyina hɔ nna kakraa bi saa ara, efisɛ saa na Awurade ahyɛ wɔn sɛ wɔnyɛ.
And if it happened that it remained for a long time over it, the sons of Israel kept the night watches of the Lord, and they did not advance,
20 Ɛtɔ da bi a, omununkum no tena Ahyiae Ntamadan no so nna kakraa bi. Sɛ ɛba saa a, nnipa no nso tena nna kakraa bi. Na Awurade nhyɛ mu, wotu fii wɔn atenae.
during as many days as the cloud remained over the tabernacle. At the command of the Lord they raised their tents, and at his command they took them down.
21 Ɛtɔ da bi nso a, omununkum no tena anadwo na akɔ adekyee. Nanso sɛ ɛyɛ awia anaa anadwo na omununkum no ma ne ho so a, nnipa no tu fi atenae hɔ di akyi.
If the cloud remained from evening until morning, and immediately, at first light, it left the tabernacle, they set out. And if it withdrew after a day and a night, they dismantled their tents.
22 Sɛ omununkum no ba Ahyiae Ntamadan no atifi na edi nnaanu, ɔsram anaa afe a, saa nna no ara so na Israelfo no hwɛ de tena hɔ. Nanso enya tu ara pɛ a, na wɔn nso atu.
Yet truly, whether it remained over the tabernacle for two days, or one month, or a longer time, the sons of Israel remained in the same place, and they did not set out. Then, as soon as it withdrew, they moved the camp.
23 Eyi kyerɛ sɛ, wɔn nsrabɔ ne wɔn akwantu nyinaa gyina Awurade mmara a ɔhyɛ ma wɔn no so; na biribiara a Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose sɛ wɔnyɛ no, wɔyɛe.
By the word of the Lord they fixed their tents, and by his word they advanced. And they kept the night watches of the Lord, according to his command by the hand of Moses.
