2 Mose 24
1 Afei, Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose sɛ, “Wo ne Aaron, Nadab, Abihu ne Israelfoɔ mpanimfoɔ aduɔson mforo mmra ha. Mo nyinaa, momma me ne mo ntam ntwe na monsom me.
And to Moses he said, Go up to the Lord, thou and Aaron and Nadab and Abiud, and seventy of the elders of Israel: and they shall worship the Lord from a distance.
2 Mose nko ara na ɔbɛbɛn Awurade; na monkae nso sɛ, ɛnsɛ sɛ wɔn a wɔaka no twe bɛn bepɔ no koraa.”
And Moses alone shall draw nigh to God; and they shall not draw nigh, and the people shall not come up with them.
3 Mose kaa mmara a Awurade hyɛɛ no no nyinaa kyerɛɛ nnipa no ma wɔn nyinaa bɔ gyee so sɛ, “Yɛbɛdi ne nyinaa so.”
And Moses went in and related to the people all the words of God and the ordinances; and all the people answered with one voice, saying, All the words which the Lord has spoken, we will do and be obedient.
4 Mose twerɛɛ Awurade mmara no nyinaa guu hɔ. Adeɛ kyee anɔpa no, ɔsii afɔrebukyia wɔ bepɔ no ase. Ɔde adum dumienu twaa ho hyiaeɛ, ɛfiri sɛ, na Israel mmusuakuo no yɛ dumienu.
And Moses wrote all the words of the Lord; and Moses rose up early in the morning, and built an altar under the mountain, and [set up] twelve stones for the twelve tribes of Israel.
5 Afei, ɔsomaa mmabunu a wɔwɔ wɔn mu no bi sɛ wɔnkɔbɔ ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ ne asomdwoeɛ afɔdeɛ mma Awurade.
And he sent forth the young men of the children of Israel, and they offered whole burnt-offerings, and they sacrificed young calves as a peace-offering to God.
6 Mose sɔnee mmoa no mogya no fa de guu nkankyee mu, ɛnna ɔtoo ɛfa a aka no petee afɔrebukyia no so.
And Moses took half the blood and poured it into bowls, and half the blood he poured out upon the altar.
7 Ɔkan nwoma a watwerɛ a ɛyɛ Apam Nwoma a Awurade akwankyerɛ ne ne mmara wɔ mu no kyerɛɛ nnipa no. Nnipa no bɔ gyee so bio sɛ, “Yɛhyɛ bɔ sɛ, yɛbɛdi mmara no nyinaa so.”
And he took the book of the covenant and read it in the ears of the people, and they said, All things whatsoever the Lord has spoken we will do and hearken therein.
8 Afei, Mose de mogya a ɛwɔ nkankyee no mu no petee nnipa no so kaa sɛ, “Saa mogya yi hyɛ apam a mo ne Awurade apam ne mmara a ɔde ama mo no mu den.”
And Moses took the blood and sprinkled it upon the people, and said, Behold the blood of the covenant, which the Lord has made with you concerning all these words.
9 Afei Mose, Aaron, Nadab, Abihu ne Israelfoɔ mpanimfoɔ aduɔson no foro kɔɔ bepɔ no so.
And Moses went up, and Aaron, and Nadab and Abiud, and seventy of the elders of Israel.
10 Wɔhunuu Israel Onyankopɔn. Na ne nan ntiasoɔ hyerɛn te sɛ aboɔdemmoɔ a ne hyerɛn te sɛ ɔsoro hyerɛn.
And they saw the place where the God of Israel stood; and under his feet was as it were a work of sapphire slabs, and as it were the appearance of the firmament of heaven in its purity.
11 Ɛwom sɛ mpanimfoɔ no hunuu Onyankopɔn deɛ, nanso wansɛe wɔn. Nokorɛm, wɔn nyinaa bɔɔ mu didii wɔ Awurade anim.
And of the chosen ones of Israel there was not even one missing, and they appeared in the place of God, and did eat and drink.
12 Na Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose sɛ, “Foro bra me nkyɛn wɔ bepɔ so ha na tena ha kɔsi sɛ mede mmaransɛm a matwerɛ agu ɛboɔ so no bɛma wo, na wonam so akyerɛkyerɛ nnipa no.”
And the Lord said to Moses, Come up to me into the mountain, and be there; and I will give thee the tables of stone, the law and the commandments, which I have written to give them laws.
13 Enti, Mose ne ne ɔboafoɔ Yosua foro kɔɔ Onyankopɔn bepɔ no so.
And Moses rose up and Joshua his attendant, and they went up into the mount of God.
14 Ɔka kyerɛɛ mpanimfoɔ no sɛ, “Montena ha ntwɛn yɛn kɔsi sɛ yɛbɛba. Merekɔ yi, sɛ asɛm bi kyere mo so a, monka nkyerɛ Aaron ne Hur.”
And to the elders they said, Rest there till we return to you; and behold, Aaron and Or are with you: if any man have a cause to be tried, let them go to them.
15 Mose foro kɔɔ bepɔ no so hɔ na ɔyeraa wɔ omununkum mu.
And Moses and Joshua went up to the mountain, and the cloud covered the mountain.
16 Na Awurade animuonyam hyɛɛ Sinai bepɔ no so ma. Na omununkum sii bepɔ no so nnansia. Ne nnanson so no, ɔfrɛɛ Mose firii omununkum no mu.
And the glory of God came down upon the mount Sina, and the cloud covered it six days; and the Lord called Moses on the seventh day out of the midst of the cloud.
17 Wɔn a wɔwɔ bepɔ no ase no hunuu anwanwadeɛ no. Na Awurade animuonyam a ɛwɔ bepɔ no so no te sɛ ogya a ɛrederɛ.
And the appearance of the glory of the Lord was as burning fire on the top of the mountain, before the children of Israel.
18 Na Mose yeraa wɔ bepɔ no so wɔ omununkum no mu. Ɔdii bepɔ no so adaduanan.
And Moses went into the midst of the cloud, and went up to the mountain, and was there in the mountain forty days and forty nights.
