2 Mose 25
1 Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose sɛ,
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
2 “Ka kyerɛ Israelfoɔ no sɛ, wɔmmɔ afɔdeɛ mma me.
“Speak to the sons of Israel, so that they may take the first-fruits to me. You shall accept these from every man who offers of his own accord.
3 “Saa nneɛma a ɛdidi so yi mu na wɔmfiri mmɔ me afɔdeɛ no: “sikakɔkɔɔ, dwetɛ, kɔbere,
Now these are the things that you must accept: Gold, and silver, and brass,
4 ntoma tuntum, koogyan bibire tam; koogyan tam, serekye, abirekyie ho nwi,
hyacinth and purple, and twice-dyed scarlet, and fine linen, the hair of goats,
5 odwennini nhoma a wɔahyɛ no kɔkɔɔ, mmirekyie nwoma a wɔahyɛ, okuo dua,
and the skins of rams, dyed red, and skins of violet, and setim wood,
6 kanea ngo, ɔsra ngo, nnuhwam a wɔhyeɛ,
oil to prepare lights, aromatics as ointments and sweet-smelling incense,
7 apopobibirieboɔ, aboɔdemmoɔ a wɔde bɛtuatua asɔfotadeɛ ne adaaboɔ no mu.
onyx stones and gems to adorn the ephod as well as the breastplate.
8 “Mepɛ sɛ Israelfoɔ si asɔredan kronkron ma me, sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a, mɛtumi atena wɔn mu.
And they shall make a sanctuary for me, and I will live in their midst.
9 Me fie no bɛyɛ ntomadan. Mɛkyerɛ mo ɛkwan a mepɛ sɛ mosi saa dan no ne sɛdeɛ mobɛsiesie mu na moagyina so asi.
According to exact likeness of the tabernacle, and all of the vessels for its rituals, that I will reveal to you, so shall you make it.
10 “Momfa okuo dua nyɛ Apam Adaka a ne ntentenemu yɛ basafa baako ne fa, ne tɛtrɛtɛ nyɛ anammɔn mmienu ne kakra na ne korɔn nso nyɛ anammɔn mmienu ne kakra.
Join together an ark of setim wood, whose length shall hold two and one half cubits; the width, one and one half cubits; the height, likewise, one and one half cubits.
11 Na momfa sikakɔkɔɔ mapa nnura ɛho ne emu nyinaa.
And you shall overlay it with the finest gold, inside and out. And over it, you shall fashion a gold crown all around,
12 Momfa sikakɔkɔɔ nkawa ɛnan nhyehyɛ adaka no nan ɛnan no ho, wɔ fam pɛɛ. Ma nkawa no mmienu nkɔ ɛfa baako na mmienu a aka no nso nkɔ ɛfa.
and four gold rings, which you shall set into the four corners of the ark. Let two rings be on one side and two on the other.
13 Fa okuo sene mpoma, na fa sikakɔkɔɔ duradura ho,
Likewise, you shall make bars of setim wood and cover them with gold.
14 na fa hyehyɛ nkawa no mu na wɔde apam adaka no asoa.
And you shall put them through the rings that are in the sides of the ark, so that it may be carried on them.
15 Monnyiyi nnua a wɔde soa adaka no mfiri nkawa no mu. Momma ɛnhyehyɛ mu afebɔɔ.
These must always be in the rings, neither shall they ever be drawn out of them.
16 Mowie adaka no a, momfa ɛboɔ a matwerɛ Mmaransɛm Edu no agu so no nto mu.
And you shall place the testimony, which I will give to you, in the ark.
17 “Momfa sikakɔkɔɔ nyɛ adaka no mmuasoɔ a wɔfrɛ no Mpata Dwa. Ne ntentenemu yɛ anammɔn mmiɛnsa ne fa, ɛnna ne tɛtrɛtɛ nso yɛ anammɔn mmienu ne fa. Ɛha ne beaeɛ a mobɛnya mo bɔne so ahummɔborɔ.
You shall also make a propitiatory of the finest gold. Its length shall hold two and one half cubits, and the width, one and one half cubits.
18 Momfa sikakɔkɔɔ a wɔaboro nyɛ Kerubim mmienu. Momfa ɔbaako nsi adaka no nkatasoɔ atifi na momfa ɔbaako nsi anafoɔ.
Likewise, you shall make two Cherubim of formed gold, on both sides of the oracle.
19 Fa Kerubim no tetare adaka no ti ne nʼanafoɔ na ɛne adaka no nkatasoɔ no nyɛ mua.
Let one Cherub be on the one side, and the other be on the other.
20 Kerubim a wɔyɛ abɔfoɔ no bɛdi nhwɛanimu a wɔasisi wɔn ti ase rehwɛ mpatadwa no na wɔatrɛtrɛ wɔn ntaban mu akata so.
And let them cover both sides of the propitiatory, spreading their wings and covering the oracle, and let them look out toward one another, their faces being turned toward the propitiatory, with which the ark is to be covered,
21 Momfa ɛboɔ twerɛpono a mede bɛma mo no nto adaka no mu, na momfa ne ti no nkata so.
in which you will place the testimony that I will give to you.
22 Na mɛhyia mo wɔ hɔ na makasa afiri mpata beaeɛ wɔ soro hɔ afa abɔfoɔ no ntam. Na adaka no mu na wɔbɛkora mʼapam no ho mmara. Ɛhɔ na mɛda me mmaransɛm a mode bɛma Israelfoɔ no adi akyerɛ mo.
From there, I will warn you and speak to you, above the propitiatory and from the middle of the two Cherubim, which will be over the ark of the testimony, about everything that I will command of the sons of Israel through you.
23 “Momfa okuo dua nyɛ ɛpono a ne ntentenemu yɛ anammɔn mmiɛnsa, ne tɛtrɛtɛ yɛ anammɔn baako ne fa na ne ɔsorokɔ yɛ anammɔn mmienu ne fa.
You shall also make a table of setim wood, having two cubits of length, and one cubit in width, and one cubit and one half cubits in height.
24 Momfa sikakɔkɔɔ nnura ho na momfa sikakɔkɔɔ hankra ntwa ho nhyia.
And you shall overlay it with the purest gold. And you shall make it with a gold lip all around,
25 Yɛ adaka no ho mfomfamho a ne tɛtrɛtɛ yɛ nsateakwaa ɛnan twa ɛpono no ntɛntɛnoa ho hyia, na fa sikakɔkɔɔ hankra fa ho.
and for the lip itself an engraved crown, four fingers high, and above it another little gold crown.
26 Yɛ sikakɔkɔɔ nkawa ɛnan na fa nkawa ɛnan no tuatua ne nan ɛnan no biara akyi
Likewise, you shall prepare four gold rings and set them in the four corners of the same table, over each foot.
27 twɛtwɛwaso wɔ soro. Wɔde nnua no bɛhyehyɛ saa nkawa no mu na wɔde apagya ɛpono no asoa.
Under the crown, there shall be gold rings, so that the bars may be put through them and the table may be carried.
28 Fa okuo yɛ nnua no, na fa sikakɔkɔɔ dura ho.
Likewise, the bars themselves you shall make of setim wood, and surround them with gold, to lift up the table.
29 Momfa sikakɔkɔɔ amapa nyɛ nwowaa, ntere, nhina ne nsatoa.
You shall also prepare small cups, as well as bowls, censers, and measuring cups, with which the libations shall be offered, out of the purest gold.
30 Ɛda biara, fa burodo to ɛpono no so wɔ mʼanim.
And you shall place upon the table the bread of the presence, in my sight always.
31 “Momfa sikakɔkɔɔ a wɔaboro nyɛ kaneadua. Kaneadua no ase, nʼabaa, nkanea no nhwiren ne ɛho nsiesie no nyinaa nyɛ adeɛ baako.
You shall also make a lampstand, formed from the finest gold, along with its stem and arms, its bowl and little spheres, as well as the lilies proceeding from it.
32 Kaneadua a ɛhyɛ mfimfini no bɛnya nkorabata nsia a mmiɛnsa wɔ ɛfa na mmiɛnsa nso wɔ ɛfa.
Six branches shall go out from the sides: three out of one side and three out of the other.
33 Momfa nhwiren mmiɛnsa nsiesie nkorabata biara ho.
Three bowls, the size of nuts, shall be on each branch, and a little sphere with it, and a lily. And three similar bowls, in the likeness of nuts, shall be on the other branch, and a little sphere with it, and a lily. This shall be the form of the six branches, which are to proceed from the stem.
34 Na kaneadua no, momfa nhwiren a ɛyɛ fɛ nni adwini mfa nsiesie no.
Then, in the lampstand itself, there shall be four bowls, the size of nuts, and each with little spheres and lilies.
35 Nhwiren no bi bɛwɔ ne dua no ase wɔ nkorabata mmienu biara ase. Afei, nhwiren no bi bɛwɔ nkorabata mmienu a ɛwɔ aseɛ no ase, ɛnna ebi nso bɛwɔ nkorabata mmienu a ɛwɔ ɔsoro no so.
Little spheres under two branches in three places, which together make six, shall proceed from one of the stems.
36 Saa nneɛma a wɔde siesie kaneadua no ne ne nkorabata no nyinaa nyɛ adeɛ fua a wɔde sikakɔkɔɔ amapa a wɔaboro ayɛ.
Thus both the little spheres and the branches shall be made out of the same thing: entirely formed from the purest gold.
37 “Monyɛ nkanea dua ntuatuaho nson wɔ kaneadua no ho wɔ ɛkwan bi so a ne hyerɛn no bɛto ne hann agu nʼanim.
You shall also make seven lamps, and you shall place them upon the lampstand, so that they may give light in every direction.
38 Kanea ntomaban akapɛ no ne ne mpampaa no nso, momfa sikakɔkɔɔ amapa nyɛ.
Likewise, the candle snuffers, and the place where the candles will be extinguished, shall be made from the purest gold.
39 Sikakɔkɔɔ kilogram aduasa ɛnan na ɛho bɛhia sɛ mode yɛ kaneadua no ne ɛho nneɛma nyinaa.
The entire weight of the candlestick, with all its parts, shall hold one talent of the purest gold.
40 Biribiara a mobɛyɛ no nso, monyɛ no pɛpɛɛpɛ sɛdeɛ merekyerɛ mo wɔ bepɔ so ha yi no.
Observe, and then make it according to the example that was shown to you on the mountain.”
