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, the second year after they were come out of the land of Egypt, in the first month, saying:

2 “Ma Israelfo no nni Twam Afahyɛ no wɔ ne bere ano.

Let the children of Israel make the phase in its due 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.”

The fourteenth day of this month in the evening, according to all the ceremonies and justifications thereof.

4 Enti Mose ka kyerɛɛ Israelfo no se wonni Twam Afahyɛ no,

And Moses commanded the children of Israel that they should make the phase.

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 made it in its proper time: the fourteenth day of the month at evening, in mount Sinai. The children of Israel did according to all 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 some who were unclean by occasion of the soul of a man, who could not make the phase on that day, coming to 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 by occasion of the soul of a man. Why are we kept back that we may not offer in its season the offering to the Lord among the children of Israel?

8 Mose buaa wɔn se, “Montwɛn mma mimmisa sɛnea Awurade mmara no ka fa mo ho.”

And Moses answered them: Stay that I may consult the Lord what he will ordain concerning 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 children of Israel: The man that shall be unclean by occasion of one that is dead, or shall be in a journey afar off in your nation, let him make the phase 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 any thing thereof until morning, a nor break a bone thereof, they shall observe all the ceremonies of the phase.

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 is clean, and was not on a journey, and did not make the phase, that soul shall be cut off from among his people, because he offered not sacrifice to the Lord in due season: 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.”

The sojourner also and the stranger if they be among you, shall make the phase to the Lord according to the ceremonies and justifications thereof. The same ordinance shall be with you both for the stranger, and for him that was born in the land.

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.

Now on the day that the tabernacle was reared up, a cloud covered it. But from the evening there was over the tabernacle, as it were, the appearance of fire until the morning.

16 Saa ara na ɛte bere biara, na edu anadwo a, mununkum no dan yɛ sɛ ogya.

So it was always: by day the cloud covered it, and by night as it were 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 covered the tabernacle was taken up, then the children of Israel marched forward: and in the place where the cloud stood still, there they camped.

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.

At the commandment of the Lord they marched, and at his commandment they pitched the tabernacle. All the days that the cloud abode 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 was so that it continued over it a long time, the children of Israel kept the watches of the Lord, and marched not,

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.

For as many days soever as the cloud stayed over the tabernacle. At the commandment of the Lord they pitched their tents, and at his commandment 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 tarried from evening until morning, and immediately at break of day left the tabernacle, they marched forward: and if it departed after a day and a night, they took down 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.

But if it remained over the tabernacle for two days or a month or a longer time, the children of Israel remained in the same place, and marched not: but immediately as soon as it departed, they removed 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 pitched their tents, and by his word they marched: and kept the watches of the Lord according to his commandment by the hand of Moses.
