2 Mose 26
1 “Fa asaawa a ɛyɛ fɛ a wɔafira yɛ nsɛnanotam edu a emu bi yɛ tuntum, bibire ne koogyan a wɔanwono Kerubim agu mu, na fa si Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no.
“[Tell the people to] make the Sacred Tent using ten long strips of fine linen. They must take blue, purple, and red thread (OR, weave the strips from blue, purple, and red thread), and [a skilled craftsman] must embroider these strips with [designs that represent] the winged creatures [that are above the chest].
2 Ɛsɛ sɛ nsɛnanotam edu no nyinaa kɛseɛ yɛ pɛ. Emu biara tenten yɛ anammɔn aduanan mmienu na ne tɛtrɛtɛ nso yɛ anammɔn nsia.
Each strip is to be (14 yards/twelve meters) long and (2 yards/1.8 meters) wide.
3 Mompam saa ntoma no enum mmɔ mu ma ɛnyɛ baako. Enum a aka no nso, monyɛ no saa ara.
[Tell them to] sew five strips together to make one set, and sew the other five strips together to make another set.
4 Momfa ntoma bibire bamma aduonum nwurawura ntoma no afa mmienu a ɛsensɛn hɔ no mu.
For each set, [they must] make loops of blue [cloth] and fasten them along the outer edge of the strip, at the end of each set.
5 Ɛsɛ sɛ ɛfa biara, mobɔ nkantankorowa aduonum ma ɛdi nhwɛanimu.
[They must] put 50 loops on the edge of the first set, and 50 loops on the edge of the second set.
6 Bɔ sikakɔkɔɔ nkɔtɔkorɔ aduonum na fa sosɔ nkantankorowa no mu, sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a nsɛnanotam ahodoɔ mmienu no bɛyɛ nsɛnanotam baako.
[Tell them to] make 50 gold clasps/fasteners, to fasten both of the sets together. As a result, the inside of the Sacred Tent will be [as though it was] one piece.
7 “Nsɛnanotam no akyi no, momfa ntoma nkatasoɔ dubaako a wɔde mmirekyie nwi ayɛ mfa mmɔ Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no so.
Also, [tell them to] make a cover for the Sacred Tent from eleven pieces of cloth made from goats’ hair.
8 Ntoma nkatasoɔ dubaako no nyinaa tenten ne ne tɛtrɛtɛ nyɛ pɛpɛɛpɛ. Ne tenten nyɛ anammɔn aduanan enum na ne tɛtrɛtɛ nyɛ anammɔn nsia.
Each piece of cloth is to be (15 yards/13.5 meters) long and (2 yards/1.8 meters) wide.
9 Ka saa nkatasoɔ enum yi sisi anim ma ɛnyɛ adeɛ tɛtrɛtɛ baako; na fa nsia a aka no bɔ mu na ɛno nso nyɛ adeɛ tɛtrɛtɛ baako. Wɔbɛbu nkatasoɔ ɛtɔ so nsia no ato so ama asensɛn fam sɛ ɛdan kronkron no nkatano.
[Tell them to] sew five of these pieces of cloth together to make one set, and sew the other six pieces of cloth together to make another set. [They] must fold the sixth piece [of cloth] in half to make it double over the front of the Sacred Tent.
10 Fa yaawa nkantankorowa aduonum a wɔabɔ no hyehyɛ ntoma asinasini mmienu no ano.
[Tell them to] make 100 loops [of blue cloth], and to fasten 50 of them to the outer edge of the one set and fasten 50 to the outer edge of the other set.
11 Na yɛ nsosɔmu aduonum na fa saa nsosɔmu no hyehyɛ nkantankorowa no mu na ɛnka asɔredan no mmɔ mu na ɛnyɛ mua.
[Tell them to] make fifty bronze clasps/fasteners and put them in the cloth loops to join the two sets together. As a result, the cover for the Sacred Tent will be [as though it was] one piece.
12 Ɛdan no mmɔsotam anammɔn baako ne fa bɛsensɛn Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no akyi,
[Let] the extra part of the cover, the part that extends beyond [the linen cloth], hang over the back of the Sacred Tent.
13 na anammɔn baako ne fa nso asensɛn animu.
The extra half yard/meter of each cover, the part that extends beyond [the linen cloth] on each side, must hang over the two sides of the Sacred Tent, to protect the sides.
14 Momfa nneɛma ahodoɔ mmienu mmɔ ɛdan no so. Deɛ ɛdi ɛkan no nyɛ odwennini wedeɛ a wɔahyɛ no kɔkɔɔ, deɛ ɛtɔ so mmienu nyɛ abirekyie wedeɛ a ɛsɔ.
[Tell them to] make two more covers for the Sacred Tent. One is to be made from rams’ skins that have been (tanned/dyed red), and the top cover is to be made from goatskin leather.”
15 “Fa okuo yɛ ntaaboo na fatwa Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no ho.
“[Tell them to] make frames from acacia wood, frames that will be set up [from which to hang the Sacred Tent covers].
16 Taaboo biara ɔsorokɔ nyɛ anammɔn dunum na ne tɛtrɛtɛ nyɛ anammɔn mmienu ne kakra.
Each frame is to be (five yards/four meters) long and (27 in./66 cm.) wide.
17 Ɛsɛ sɛ nkɔtɔkorɔ mmienu wɔ taaboo biara ase, na taaboo biara yɛ pɛ.
[They] must make two projections at the bottom of each frame. These will be to fasten the frames to the bases underneath them. They must make these projections at the bottom of each frame.
18 Mobɛyɛ Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no ntaaboo ama emu aduonu akyerɛ nʼanafoɔ.
Make 20 frames for the south side of the Sacred Tent.
19 Wɔde bɛsisi dwetɛ nsisisoɔ aduanan so; nsisisoɔ no mmienu mmienu nhyehyɛ taaboo biara ase.
[Tell them to] make 40 silver bases to go underneath them. Two bases will go under each frame. The projections [at the bottom] of each frame are [to be made] to fit into the bases.
20 Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no atifi fam nso, wɔbɛyɛ ntaaboo aduonu atwa ho.
[Similarly], [tell them to] make twenty frames for the north side of the Sacred Tent.
21 Ɛno nso wɔde bɛsisi dwetɛ nsisisoɔ aduanan so a taaboo baako bɛsi nsisisoɔ mmienu so.
[They] must make 40 silver bases for them also, with two bases to be put under each frame.
22 Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no fa a ɛkyerɛ atɔeɛ fam no bɛyɛ nʼakyi. Ɛno nso, wɔde ntaaboo nsia na wɔde bɛtwa ho
For the rear of the Sacred Tent, on the west side, [tell them to] make six frames.
23 a ntaaboo mmienu sisi ntwea biara.
Also, [tell them to] make two extra frames, one for each corner of the rear of the Sacred Tent, [to provide extra support].
24 Wɔde nkɔtɔkorɔ bɛsosɔ ntaaboo mmienu no soro ne ne fam.
The two corner frames must be joined from the bottom to the top (OR, joined at both the bottom and the top). At the top of each of the two corner frames there must be a gold ring for holding the crossbar.
25 Wɔka ne nyinaa bom a, ntaaboo wɔtwe na wɔde bɛyɛ ɛdan no fa hɔ a wɔde bɛsisi dwetɛ nsisisoɔ dunsia so. Taaboo biara bɛfa nsisisoɔ mmienu.
In that way, [for the rear of the Sacred Tent] there will be eight frames, and there will be 16 bases, two under each frame.
26 “Fa okuo sene mmeamu nnua bi na fa beabea ntaaboo no mu. Mmeamu nnua no enum nkɔ ɛdan no fa baako,
[Tell them to] make 15 crossbars from acacia wood.
27 na enum a aka no nso nkɔ ɛfa baako. Fa mmeamu nnua no enum bɔ ntaaboo a ɛwɔ ntomadan no akyi, a ani kyerɛ atɔeɛ fam no.
Five of them will be for the frames on the north side of the Sacred Tent, five will be for the south side, and five for the frames at the rear of the Sacred Tent, the west side.
28 Bɔ mmeamu dua baako fa bea ntaaboo no mfimfini na ɛmfiri tire nkɔka tire.
Tell them to fasten the crossbars on the north, south, and west sides of the Sacred Tent to the middle of the frames. The two long ones must extend from one end of the Sacred Tent to the other, and the crossbar on the west side must extend from one side of the Sacred Tent to the other.
29 Fa sikakɔkɔɔ dura ntaaboo no ho na fa sikakɔkɔɔ nkawa sosɔ mmeamu dua no mu na ɛnnyina. Fa sikakɔkɔɔ dura mmeamu dua no nso ho.
[Tell them to] cover the frames with gold, and make gold rings to fasten the crossbars to the frames. The crossbars must [also] be covered with gold.
30 “Fa hyehyɛbea a mekyerɛɛ wo wɔ bepɔ no so hɔ no so pɛpɛɛpɛ si Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no.
Erect the Sacred Tent in the way that I have shown you [here] on [this] mountain.”
31 “Fa ntoma tuntum, koogyan bibire, koogyan ne asaawatam a ɛyɛ fɛ yɛ ntwamutam a wɔanwono Kerubim sɛso agu mu no.
“[Tell them to] make a curtain from fine linen. A skilled craftsman must embroider it with blue, purple, and red yarn/thread, making [designs to represent] the winged creatures [that are above the chest].
32 Fa sɛn okuo nnua fadum nan a wɔde sikakɔkɔɔ adura ho a sikakɔkɔɔ nsosɔmu nan sosɔ ano no so. Ma fadum ɛnan no mu biara nsi dwetɛ ntaaboo ɛnan no baako so.
[Tell them to] suspend/hang the curtain from four posts made from acacia wood and covered with gold. Set [each] post in a silver base.
33 Fa ntwamutam no sensɛn nsosɔmu no so na fa tware ɛdan no mu. Fa adaka a ɛboɔ a wɔatwerɛ Onyankopɔn mmara agu so no da mu no si ntoma ntwamu no akyiri. Ntoma ntwamu no bɛtwa kronkronbea hɔ ne kronkron mu kronkron no ntam.
[They] must suspend/hang the [top of the] curtain by hooks that are fastened to the roof of the Sacred Tent. Behind the curtain, in the [room called the] Very Holy Place, [they] must put the chest containing the [two stone slabs on which I have written my] commandments. That curtain will separate the Holy Place from the Very Holy Place.
34 Afei, fa adaka no mmuasoɔ a wɔde sikakɔkɔɔ ayɛ no bua so na fa si kronkron mu kronkron hɔ.
On top of the chest in the Very Holy Place [they] must put the lid which will be the place where [blood will be sprinkled to] forgive people’s sins.
35 Fa ɛpono no ne kaneadua no tware dan no mu wɔ ntwamutam no akyi. Kaneadua no bɛsi kronkronbea no anafoɔ, ɛnna ɛpono no asi nʼatifi.
[In the room that is] outside of the Very Holy Place, [they] must put the table [for the sacred] bread on the north side, and put the lampstand on the south side.
36 “Fa ntoma foforɔ a ɛyɛ koogyan bibire ne koogyan asaawatam yɛ Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no ano nkatano.
[Tell them to] make a curtain to [cover] the entrance of the Sacred Tent. They must make it from fine linen, and a skilled weaver must embroider it with blue, purple, and red yarn/thread.
37 Fa saa ntwamutam no sɛn okuo mpunan enum a wɔde sikakɔkɔɔ adura ho no nsosɔmu no so. Wɔde saa mpunan no bɛsisi yaawa ntaeaseɛ enum no mu.
To hold up this curtain, [they] must make five posts from acacia wood. [They] must cover them with gold, and fasten gold clasps/fasteners to them. Also [they] must make a bronze base for each of these posts.”
