2 Mose 37
1 Afei, Besaleel yɛɛ Apam Adaka no. Ɔde okuo na ɛyɛeɛ. Na ne tenten yɛ anammɔn mmiɛnsa ne fa, ne tɛtrɛtɛ nso yɛ anammɔn mmienu ne fa ɛnna ne ɔsorokɔ nso yɛ anammɔn mmienu ne fa.
Then Bezalel made the [sacred] chest from acacia wood. It was (45 in./110 cm.) long, (27 in./66 cm.) wide, and (27 in./66 cm.) high.
2 Na wɔde sikakɔkɔɔ duraa ɛho ne emu nyinaa ɛnna wɔde sikakɔkɔɔ hankra twaa ho hyiaeɛ.
He covered it with pure gold inside and outside the chest, and he made a gold border around the top of it.
3 Na wɔde sikakɔkɔɔ nkawa ahyehyɛ ne nan ɛnan no ho, a nkawa mmienu wɔ ɛfa baako na mmienu a aka no nso wɔ ɛfa baako.
He made/cast four rings from gold [and fastened them] to the legs of the chest. He put two rings on each side of the chest.
4 Ɔsenee okuo nnua bi de sikakɔkɔɔ duraa ho.
He made [two] poles from acacia wood, and covered them with gold.
5 Ɛnna wɔde nnua no hyehyɛɛ adaka no nkyɛn nkawa no mu, na wɔde asoa.
He put the poles into the rings on the sides of the chest, in order that the chest could be carried [by means of the poles].
6 Afei, ɔde sikakɔkɔɔ mapa yɛɛ ne mmuasoɔ a wɔfrɛ no Mpata Dwa. Na ne ntentenemu yɛ anammɔn mmiɛnsa ne fa, ɛnna ne tɛtrɛtɛ nso yɛ anammɔn mmienu ne fa.
He made a lid for the chest. That was [the place where Yahweh would] forgive people’s sins. It [also] was (45 in./110 cm.) long and (27 in./66 cm.) wide.
7 Ɔboroo sikakɔkɔɔ ma ɛyɛɛ trawa de yɛɛ Kerubim mmienu ɛnna ɔde tetaree adaka no mmuasoɔ etire ne etire.
He made two winged creatures from hammered gold.
8 Wɔde Kerubim no tetare adaka no ti ne nʼanafoɔ, na ɛne adaka no nkatasoɔ no yɛɛ mua.
One of these was put at each end of the chest. The gold [with which they were made] was joined to the gold from which the lid [was made].
9 Na Kerubim no di nhwɛanimu a wɔasisi wɔn ti ase rehwɛ Mpata Dwa no na wɔatrɛtrɛ wɔn ntaban mu akata so.
[He placed] the winged creatures facing each other so that their wings touched each other and spread out over the lid.
10 Afei, ɔde okuo yɛɛ ɛpono a ne tenten yɛ anammɔn mmiɛnsa; ne tɛtrɛtɛ yɛ anammɔn baako ne fa ɛnna ne ɔsorokɔ yɛ anammɔn mmienu ne fa.
Bezalel made a table from acacia wood. It was (36 in./88 cm.) long, (18 in./44 cm.) wide, and (27 in./66 cm.) high.
11 Na wɔde sikakɔkɔɔ adura ho, ɛnna wɔayɛ ɛho sika hankra ahyia.
He covered it with pure gold, and he put a gold border around it.
12 Wɔyɛɛ adaka no ho mfomfamho a ne tɛtrɛtɛ yɛ nsateakwaa ɛnan twaa ɛpono no ntɛntɛnoa ho hyiaeɛ, na wɔde sikakɔkɔɔ hankra faa ho.
He made a rim all around it, (3 in./7 cm.) wide. He put a gold border around the rim.
13 Afei, ɔyɛɛ sikakɔkɔɔ nkawa ɛnan na ɔde hyehyɛɛ ɛpono no nan ɛnan no nyinaa ase.
He made/cast four rings from gold and fastened the rings to the four corners of the table, one ring close to each leg [of the table].
14 Ɔde nnua no hyehyɛɛ saa nkawa no mu a wɔde bɛpagya ɛpono no asoa.
The rings were fastened to the table near the rim.
15 Ɔde okuo nnua a ɔde sikakɔkɔɔ agu ho yɛɛ nnua a wɔde bɛsoa.
He made two poles from acacia wood and covered them with gold. These poles for carrying the table were then inserted into the rings.
16 Ɔde sikakɔkɔɔ amapa yɛɛ nwowaa, nsukuruwa ne nkoraa. Saa nneɛma yi na wɔde bɛdi ahwiesa afɔrebɔ ho dwuma.
He also made from pure gold all the things to be put on the table. He made the plates, the cups, and the jars and bowls to be used [when the priests] poured out wine [as an offering to Yahweh].
17 Bio, ɔde sikakɔkɔɔ a wɔaboro yɛɛ kaneadua. Ne nnyinasoɔ, nʼabaa, deɛ wɔde nkanea no hyehyɛ mu ne nhwiren a wɔde siesiee no nyinaa bom yɛ adeɛ fua.
[He] made the lampstand from pure gold. Its base and its shaft were hammered from [one large lump of] gold. [The branches of the lampstand], the cups for holding the oil, the flower buds and the petals [that decorated the branches of the lamp, the base, and the shaft were all hammered from] one [big] lump of gold.
18 Kaneadua no wɔ nkorabata nsia a mmiɛnsa wɔ ɛfa na mmiɛnsa nso wɔ ɛfa.
There were six branches on the lampstand, three on each side [of the shaft].
19 Wɔde nhwiren mmiɛnsa siesiee nkorabata biara ho.
Each of the branches had on it three [gold decorations that looked like] almond blossoms. These decorations also had flower buds and [flower] petals.
20 Na saa ara nso na kaneadua no, wɔadi nhwiren a ɛyɛ fɛ bi adwini de asiesie no.
On the [shaft of the] lampstand there were four [gold decorations that also looked like] almond blossoms, each one with flower buds and [flower] petals.
21 Nhwiren no bi wɔ ne dua no ase wɔ nkorabata mmienu biara ase. Afei, nhwiren no bi wɔ nkorabata mmienu a ɛwɔ aseɛ no ase, ɛnna ebi nso wɔ nkorabata mmienu a ɛwɔ ɔsoro no so. Ne nyinaa yɛ nsia.
On each side, beneath and extending from each of the branches, there was one [flower] bud.
22 Deɛ wɔde siesiee kaneadua no ne ne nkorabata no nyinaa yɛ adeɛ fua a sikakɔkɔɔ amapa a wɔaboro na wɔde yɛeɛ.
All these [flower] buds and branches, along with the shaft, were hammered from one large lump of pure gold.
23 Afei, ɔyɛɛ nkanea nson, adaban akapɛ, ne apaawa. Ne nyinaa wɔde sikakɔkɔɔ amapa na ɛyɛeɛ.
Bezalel also made seven small cups [for holding oil. He put one cup on top of the shaft and he put the others on top of the branches]. He made from pure gold the tongs [for removing the burned wicks] and the trays [in which to put the burned wicks].
24 Na kaneadua no ne ɛho nneɛma mu duru yɛ kilogram aduasa ɛnan a ne nyinaa yɛ sikakɔkɔɔ.
He used (75 pounds/35 kg.) of pure gold to make the lampstand and all the things that were used to take care of it.
25 Wɔde okuo na ɛyɛɛ aduhwam afɔrebukyia no. Wɔyɛɛ no ahinanan a ne fa biara susu nsateakwaa dunwɔtwe. Na ne ɔsorokɔ yɛ anammɔn mmiɛnsa a mmɛn a ɛtuatua ne ntweaso ntweaso no nso nyinaa ka bom ma ɛyɛ adeɛ fua.
From acacia wood, Bezalel made the altar [for burning] incense. It was square, (18 in./45 cm.) on each side. It was (3 ft./90 cm.) high. He made [a projection that looked like] a horn on each of the top corners. The projections were carved from the same block of wood that the altar was made of.
26 Ɔde sikakɔkɔɔ kataa ne soro, ne nkyɛn ne mmɛn a ɛwɔ afɔrebukyia no ho no nyinaa. Na ɔde sikakɔkɔɔ ntotoano twaa afɔrebukyia no ho nyinaa hyiaeɛ.
He covered the top and the four sides, including the projections, with pure gold. He put a gold border around the altar, [near the top].
27 Na ɔyɛɛ sikakɔkɔɔ nkawa mmienu de bobɔɔ afɔrebukyia no afanu nkyɛn mu wɔ aseɛ hɔ a wɔde nnua a wɔde bɛsoa no bɛwurawura mu.
He made two gold rings for carrying the altar. Then he attached them to the altar below the border, one on each side of the altar. The poles by means of which the altar was to be carried were to be inserted into those rings.
28 Nnua a na wɔde soa no yɛ okuo nnua a wɔde sikakɔkɔɔ adura ho.
He made those [two] poles from acacia wood and covered them with gold.
29 Ɔfaa nnuhwamyɛfoɔ mu abenfoɔ ɛkwan so yɛɛ srango kronkron a wɔde sra asɔfoɔ ne ɔhyeɛ nnuhwam nso.
He also made the sacred oil for anointing and the pure sweet-smelling incense. He mixed the incense together as a skilled perfumer would.
