2 Mose 34

1 Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose sɛ, “Yɛ aboɔ twerɛ apono mmienu te sɛ deɛ woyɛɛ kane no na mɛtwerɛ mmara korɔ no ara sɛdeɛ na ɛwɔ deɛ wobubuu mu no so ara pɛ ama wo.

And after this he said: Hew thee two tables of stone like unto the former, and I will write upon them the words which were in the tables, which thou brokest.

2 Siesie wo ho na bra Sinai Bepɔ so anɔpa na fa wo ho bɛkyerɛ me.

Be ready in the morning, that thou mayst forthwith go up into mount Sinai, and thou shalt stand with me upon the top of the mount.

3 Mfa obiara nka wo ho na ɛnsɛ sɛ obiara bɛn bepɔ no ho baabiara. Mma mmoa biara nkɔ adidi mmɛn bepɔ no.”

Let no man go up with thee: and let not any man be seen throughout all the mount: neither let the oxen nor the sheep feed over against it.

4 Enti, Mose twaa twerɛ apono mmienu te sɛ kane deɛ no de kɔɔ Sinai Bepɔ so anɔpahema sɛdeɛ Awurade hyɛeɛ no.

Then he cut out two tables of stone, such as had been before: and rising very early he went up into the mount Sinai, as the Lord had commanded him, carrying with him the tables.

5 Awurade siane baa sɛ omununkum fadum bɛgyinaa Mose ho bɔɔ ne din kronkron Awurade no.

And when the Lord was come down in a cloud, Moses stood with him, calling upon the name of the Lord.

6 Awurade faa nʼanim frɛɛ no kaa sɛ, “Me, Awurade, Onyankopɔn mmɔborɔhunufoɔ ne ɔdomfoɔ a me bo kyɛre fu na mewɔ ɔdɔ na medi nokorɛ nso;

And when he passed before him, he said: O the Lord, the Lord God, merciful and gracious, patient and of much compassion, and true,

7 me Awurade, me dɔ nnipa mpempem na mede atirimuɔden, atuateɛ ne bɔne kyɛ. Metwe afɔdie aso na metwe Agyanom, mma ne mmanananom kɔsi awoɔ ntoatoasoɔ mmiɛnsa ne ɛnan aso.”

Who keepest mercy unto thousands: who takest away iniquity, and wickedness, and sin, and no man of himself is innocent before thee. Who renderest the iniquity of the fathers to the children, and to the grandchildren, unto the third and fourth generation.

8 Mose kotoo Awurade somm no.

And Moses making haste, bowed down prostrate unto the earth, and adoring,

9 Ɔkaa sɛ, “Sɛ ɛyɛ nokorɛ pa ara sɛ woagye me atom deɛ a, Ao Awurade, wo ne yɛnkɔ bɔhyɛ asase no so. Saa nnipa yi yɛ asoɔden deɛ, nanso fa yɛn bɔne kyɛ yɛn na gye yɛn sɛ wo ara wo nnipa.”

Said: If I have found grace in thy sight: O Lord, I beseech thee, that thou wilt go with us, (for it is a stiffnecked people, ) and take away our iniquities and sin, and possess us.

10 Awurade buaa sɛ, “Ɛyɛ, me ne wo bɛyɛ nhyehyɛeɛ bi. Merebɛyɛ anwanwadeɛ bi a ebi nsii asase so da, na ɛnam so ama Israelfoɔ nyinaa ahunu tumi a Awurade wɔ. Menam wo so na mɛyɛ saa tumideɛ no.

The Lord answered: I will make a covenant in the sight of all. I will do signs such as were never seen upon the earth, nor in any nation: that this people, in the midst of whom thou art, may see the terrible work of the Lord which I will do.

11 Wo fam deɛ a wobɛyɛ ara ne sɛ, wobɛtie nsɛm a mɛhyɛ wo no na woayɛ ne nyinaa; na sɛ ɛba saa a, mɛpam Amorifoɔ, Kanaanfoɔ, Hetifoɔ, Perisifoɔ, Hewifoɔ ne Yebusifoɔ no nyinaa afiri wʼanim.

Observe all things which this day I command thee: I myself will drive out before thy face the Amorrhite, and the Chanaanite, and the Hethite, and the Pherezite, and the Hevite, and the Jebusite.

12 Hwɛ wo ho so yie pa ara na wo ne ɔman a worekɔ mu no mufoɔ ampam, ɛfiri sɛ, sɛ woyɛ saa a, ɛbɛma wo nso woayɛ nnebɔne a wɔyɛ no bi.

Beware thou never join in friendship with the inhabitants of that land, which may be thy ruin:

13 Bubu wɔn abosonsom afɔrebukyia no. Sɛe wɔn aboɔ adum no na montutu wɔn abosom no ngu.

But destroy their altars, break their statues, and cut down their groves:

14 Na monnsom onyame foforɔ biara nka Awurade ho, na ɔno nko ara ne Onyankopɔn a ɛsɛ sɛ mosom no.

Adore not any strange god. The Lord his name is Jealous, he is a jealous God.

15 “Wone onipa biara a ɔte asase no so nnyɛ asomdwoeɛ apam biara, ɛfiri sɛ, wɔnni me nokorɛ, na wɔbɔ afɔdeɛ ma wɔn anyame de tia me. Sɛ wo ne wɔn fa yɔnko a, wɔbɛto nsa afrɛ wo sɛ ma yɛnkɔsom yɛn anyame na anhwɛ yie a, wobɛkɔ.

Make no covenant with the men of those countries lest, when they have committed fornication with their gods, and have adored their idols, some one call thee to eat of the things sacrificed.

16 Afei, ɛyɛ saa a, mobɛgye wɔn mmammaa aware ama mo mmammarima no akɔsom wɔn yerenom no anyame bi de atia me.

Neither shalt thou take of their daughters a wife for thy son, lest after they themselves have committed fornication, they make thy sons also to commit fornication with their gods.

17 “Monnsom ahoni biara.

Thou shalt not make to thyself any molten gods.

18 “Bɔ mmɔden sɛ wɔbɛdi Apiti Afahyɛ no nnanson sɛdeɛ meka kyerɛɛ wo no. Di no afe biara mu ɔbosome Abib (Yudafoɔ bosome a ɛdi ɛkan) mu. Saa bosome no mu na motu firii Misraim.

Thou shalt keep the feast of the unleavened bread. Seven days shalt thou eat unleavened bread, as I commanded thee in the time of the month of the new corn: for in the month of the springtime thou camest out from Egypt.

19 “Abakan biara yɛ me dea, sɛ ɛyɛ nantwie, odwan anaa abirekyie.

All of the male kind, that openeth the womb, shall be mine. Of all beasts, both of oxen and of sheep, it shall be mine.

20 Afunumu ba a ɔyɛ abakan deɛ, wɔmfa no nsesa odwammaa. Na sɛ wompɛ sɛ wode no di nsesa deɛ a, bu ne kɔn mu. Mo mmammarima deɛ, monsesa wɔn nyinaa. “Obiara mma mʼanim a ɔnkura akyɛdeɛ bi.

The firstling of an ass thou shalt redeem with a sheep: but if thou wilt not give a price for it, it shall be slain. The firstborn of thy sons thou shalt redeem: neither shalt thou appear before me empty.

21 “Nnansia pɛ na momfa nyɛ adwuma. Ɛda a ɛtɔ so nson no deɛ, monnni dwuma biara. Ofuntumberɛ anaa otwaberɛ mpo, momfa nna nsia nyɛ adwuma. Ɛda a ɛtɔ so nson no, monhome.

Six days shalt thou work, the seventh day thou shalt cease to plough, and to reap.

22 “Monkae na monni saa afahyɛ mmiɛnsa a ɛwɔ afe mu no nyinaa. Yeinom ne: Otwaberɛ Afahyɛ (anaasɛ Pentekoste), Atokoɔ a ɛdi ɛkan Afahyɛ ne Otwa Afahyɛ.

Thou shalt keep the feast of weeks with the firstfruits of the corn of thy wheat harvest, and the feast when the time of the year returneth that all things are laid in.

23 Saa afahyɛ mmiɛnsa yi mu biara duru so a, ɛsɛ sɛ Israelfoɔ mmarima ne mmarimaa nyinaa ba Awurade wo Onyankopɔn anim.

Three times in a year all thy males shall appear in the sight of the Almighty Lord the God of Israel.

24 Sɛ mokɔ Awurade, mo Onyankopɔn, anim saa mprɛnsa no nyinaa afe biara mu a, obiara nni hɔ a ɔbɛtoa mo abɛdi mo asase no so. Mɛpam saa aman no wɔ mo anim na matrɛ mo ahyeɛ mu.

For when I shall have taken away the nations from thy face, and shall have enlarged thy borders, no man shall lie in wait against thy land when thou shalt go up, and appear in the sight of the Lord thy God thrice in a year.

25 “Mommfa burodo a mmɔreka wɔ mu mmɔ me afɔdeɛ. Na Twam Afahyɛ ɛnam no nso, mommfa bi nsi hɔ mma adeɛ nkye so.

Thou shalt not offer the blood of my sacrifice upon leaven: neither shall there remain in the morning any thing of the victim of the solemnity of the Lord.

26 “Sɛ motwa mo mfudeɛ a, momfa otwakane mu nyiyimu a ɛsɔ ani mmrɛ me; wɔde bɛma Awurade mo Onyankopɔn. “Nnoa abirekyie ba wɔ ne maame nufosuo mu.”

The first of the fruits of thy ground thou shalt offer in the house of the Lord thy God. Thou shalt not boil a kid in the milk of his dam.

27 Na Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose sɛ, “Twerɛ saa mmara a mede ama wo yi nyinaa gu hɔ, ɛfiri sɛ, ɛgyina hɔ ma me ne wo ne Israel apam.”

And the Lord said to Moses: Write these words by which I have made a covenant both with thee and with Israel.

28 Mose ne Awurade de adaduanan, awia ne anadwo, dii nkutaho wɔ bepɔ no so, na saa ɛberɛ no, Mose annidi annom. Saa ɛberɛ no, Onyankopɔn twerɛɛ Mmaransɛm Edu no guu ɛboɔ twerɛpono so.

And he was there with the Lord forty days and forty nights: he neither ate bread nor drank water, and he wrote upon the tables the ten words of the covenant.

29 Ɛberɛ a Mose de twerɛ apono no fi Onyankopɔn nkyɛn resiane bepɔ no, na ɔnnim sɛ nʼanim rehyerɛn.

And when Moses came down from the mount Sinai, he held the two tables of the testimony, and he knew not that his face was horned from the conversation of the Lord.

30 Esiane nʼanim hyerɛn a na ɛhyerɛn no enti, Aaron ne Israelfoɔ no hunuu Mose no, wɔsuroeɛ sɛ wɔbɛbɛn no.

And Aaron and the children of Israel seeing the face of Moses horned, were afraid to come near.

31 Nanso, Mose frɛɛ wɔn baa ne nkyɛn maa Aaron ne ɔman no mu ntuanofoɔ ne no bɛkasaeɛ.

And being called by him, they returned, both Aaron and the rulers of the congregation. And after that he spoke to them.

32 Akyire no, nnipa no nyinaa baa ne nkyɛn maa ɔde mmaransɛm a Awurade de maa no wɔ bepɔ no so hɔ no maa wɔn.

And all the children of Israel came to him: and he gave them in commandment all that he had heard of the Lord in mount Sinai.

33 Mose ne wɔn kasa wieeɛ no, ɔde nkatanimu kataa nʼanim,

And having done speaking, he put a veil upon his face.

34 na ɛberɛ biara a ɔbɛkɔ Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan mu hɔ ne Awurade akɔkasa no, ɔyi nkatanimu no kɔsi sɛ ɔbɛsane aba bio; ɔba saa a, asɛm biara a Onyankopɔn aka akyerɛ no no, na ɔno nso aka akyerɛ nnipa no

But when he went in to the Lord, and spoke with him, he took it away until he came forth, and then he spoke to the children of Israel all things that had been commanded him.

35 a wɔhunu sɛ nʼanim ayɛ hyerɛn. Akyire no, ɔde nkatanimu no kata nʼanim bio kɔsi sɛ ɔbɛkɔ Onyankopɔn nkyɛn na ɔne no akɔkasa.

And they saw that the face of Moses when he came out was horned, but he covered his face again, if at any time he spoke to them.
