2 Mose 40
1 Afei Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose sɛ,
The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
2 “Bosome a ɛdi ɛkan no ɛda a ɛdi ɛkan no na si Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no.
“On the first day of the first month you shall raise up the tabernacle of the Tent of Meeting.
3 Wosi wie a, fa Apam Adaka a Mmaransɛm Edu no wɔ mu no si mu. Na fa ntwamutam no tware Apam Adaka no anim ma ɛnhyɛ kronkron mu kronkron hɔ.
You shall put the ark of the covenant in it, and you shall screen the ark with the veil.
4 Afei, fa ɛpono no bɛsi hɔ na fa ɛho nneɛma nyinaa gu so na fa kaneadua no bra na sɔ kanea no.
You shall bring in the table, and set in order the things that are on it. You shall bring in the lamp stand, and light its lamps.
5 Fa sikakɔkɔɔ afɔrebukyia a wɔbɛhye aduhwam wɔ so no bɛsi Apam Adaka no anim. Fa ɛpono no nkatanimu sɛn Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no ano.
You shall set the golden altar for incense before the ark of the covenant, and put the screen of the door to the tabernacle.
6 “Fa ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ afɔrebukyia no si Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no ɛkwan ano.
“You shall set the altar of burnt offering before the door of the tabernacle of the Tent of Meeting.
7 Fa atam no si Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no ne afɔrebukyia no ntam na hyɛ no nsuo ma.
You shall set the basin between the Tent of Meeting and the altar, and shall put water therein.
8 Afei, siesie adihɔ bi twa Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no ho hyia na fa nsɛnanimu no sɛn ne kwan no ano.
You shall set up the court around it, and hang up the screen of the gate of the court.
9 “Fa srango no na pete gu Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no so baabiara ne biribiara a ɛwɔ mu ne nneɛma a ɛwɔ hɔ nyinaa ne nkonnwa so, na fa te ho.
“You shall take the anointing oil, and anoint the tabernacle and all that is in it, and shall make it holy, and all its furniture, and it will be holy.
10 Ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ afɔrebukyia no ne ɛho nneɛma nyinaa nso, pete ɔsra ngo no bi gu so na te ho na ɛnyɛ kronkron.
You shall anoint the altar of burnt offering, with all its vessels, and sanctify the altar, and the altar will be most holy.
11 Afei, fa ngo no bi sra atam no ne ne ntaamu no so fa te ho.
You shall anoint the basin and its base, and sanctify it.
12 “Afei, fa Aaron ne ne mmammarima no bra Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no ɛkwan ano na fa nsuo hohoro wɔn ho
“You shall bring Aaron and his sons to the door of the Tent of Meeting, and shall wash them with water.
13 na fa atadeɛ kronkron no hyɛ Aaron, na sra no ngo na ne ho nte na ɔmmɛyɛ me ɔsɔfoɔ.
You shall put on Aaron the holy garments; and you shall anoint him, and sanctify him, that he may minister to me in the priest’s office.
14 Afei, fa ne mmammarima no bra na fa wɔn ntadeɛ hyehyɛ wɔn
You shall bring his sons, and put tunics on them.
15 na pete ngo gu wɔn so sɛdeɛ woyɛɛ wɔn agya no, sɛdeɛ wɔbɛsom me sɛ asɔfoɔ. Wɔn ngosra no bɛtena hɔ daa firi awo ntoatoasoɔ so akɔsi awo ntoatoasoɔ so. Na daa wɔn asefoɔ bɛyɛ asɔfoɔ.”
You shall anoint them, as you anointed their father, that they may minister to me in the priest’s office. Their anointing shall be to them for an everlasting priesthood throughout their generations.”
16 Enti, Mose kɔ kɔyɛɛ sɛdeɛ Awurade akyerɛ no no.
Moses did so. According to all that the LORD commanded him, so he did.
17 Afe a ɛtɔ so mmienu no mu bosome a ɛdi ɛkan no ɛda a ɛdi ɛkan no, wɔkekaa Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no sisii animu.
In the first month in the second year, on the first day of the month, the tabernacle was raised up.
18 Mose sii Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no; ɔde nsisisoɔ no sisii wɔn afa, de nnyinasoɔ no hyehyɛɛ mu de mmeamu nnua beabeaa mu de mpunan sisii wɔn afa.
Moses raised up the tabernacle, and laid its sockets, and set up its boards, and put in its bars, and raised up its pillars.
19 Afei, ɔde nkurusoɔ no kuruu mponnwa no so de ne ngugusoɔ guguu so sane de ngugusoɔ a ɛdi akyire kuruu so sɛdeɛ Awurade se ɔnyɛ no.
He spread the covering over the tent, and put the roof of the tabernacle above on it, as the LORD commanded Moses.
20 Ɔde aboɔ a wɔatwerɛ Mmaransɛm Edu no wɔ so no guu Apam Adaka no mu de nnua a wɔdebɛsoa no sosɔɔ mu. Ɔde ne nkatasoɔ a wɔde sikakɔkɔɔ ayɛ a ɛyɛ mpata nkatasoɔ no kataa so.
He took and put the covenant into the ark, and set the poles on the ark, and put the mercy seat above on the ark.
21 Afei, ɔde Apam Adaka no bɛsii Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no mu de ntwamutam no twaa mu, sɛdeɛ Awurade hyɛeɛ no.
He brought the ark into the tabernacle, and set up the veil of the screen, and screened the ark of the covenant, as the LORD commanded Moses.
22 Afei, ɔde ɛpono no sii Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no atifi fam wɔ ntwamutam no akyi,
He put the table in the Tent of Meeting, on the north side of the tabernacle, outside of the veil.
23 de Ɔkyerɛ Burodo no too so wɔ Awurade anim sɛdeɛ Awurade hyɛeɛ no.
He set the bread in order on it before the LORD, as the LORD commanded Moses.
24 Ɔde kaneadua no sii ɛpono no nkyɛn wɔ Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no anafoɔ fam.
He put the lamp stand in the Tent of Meeting, opposite the table, on the south side of the tabernacle.
25 Afei, ɔsɔɔ kanea no wɔ Awurade anim sɛdeɛ Awurade kyerɛɛ no no pɛpɛɛpɛ,
He lit the lamps before the LORD, as the LORD commanded Moses.
26 ɛnna ɔde sikakɔkɔɔ afɔrebukyia sii ntwamutam no ho pɛɛ wɔ Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no mu.
He put the golden altar in the Tent of Meeting before the veil;
27 Afei, wɔde ohwam hyee nnuhwam sɛdeɛ Awurade hyɛeɛ no.
and he burned incense of sweet spices on it, as the LORD commanded Moses.
28 Ɔde Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no ano nsɛnanotam sɛnee ano.
He put up the screen of the door to the tabernacle.
29 Ɔde afɔrebukyia a wɔbɔ ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ wɔ so no si bɛn Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan ɛkwan no ano, ɛnna ɔbɔɔ so ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ ne aduane afɔdeɛ sɛdeɛ Awurade hyɛeɛ no.
He set the altar of burnt offering at the door of the tabernacle of the Tent of Meeting, and offered on it the burnt offering and the meal offering, as the LORD commanded Moses.
30 Yei akyi, ɔde atam a wɔsi mu nneɛma no sii Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no ne afɔrebukyia no ntam na wɔhyɛɛ no nsuo ma sɛdeɛ asɔfoɔ no bɛnya bi ahohoro wɔn ho.
He set the basin between the Tent of Meeting and the altar, and put water therein, with which to wash.
31 Mose ne Aaron ne Aaron mmammarima hohoroo wɔn nsa ho ne wɔn nan ase wɔ hɔ.
Moses, Aaron, and his sons washed their hands and their feet there.
32 Ɛberɛ biara a wɔbɛfa afɔrebukyia no ho akɔ Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no mu no, wɔgyina hohoroo wɔn ho sɛdeɛ Awurade kyerɛɛ Mose no.
When they went into the Tent of Meeting, and when they came near to the altar, they washed, as the LORD commanded Moses.
33 Ɔsii biribi twaa Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no ne afɔrebukyia no ho hyiaeɛ na wɔde nsɛnanotam sɛnee ano. Enti Mose yɛɛ yei de wiee nʼadwumayɛ.
He raised up the court around the tabernacle and the altar, and set up the screen of the gate of the court. So Moses finished the work.
34 Omununkum no bɛkataa Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no so maa Awurade animuonyam hyɛɛ no ma.
Then the cloud covered the Tent of Meeting, and the LORD’s glory filled the tabernacle.
35 Esiane sɛ na omununkum no asi wɔ hɔ no enti, Mose antumi ankɔ mu na Awurade animuonyam hyɛɛ Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no ma.
Moses was not able to enter into the Tent of Meeting, because the cloud stayed on it, and the LORD’s glory filled the tabernacle.
36 Ɛberɛ biara a omununkum no bɛpagya ne ho atu atene no, na Israelfoɔ no nso di akyire.
When the cloud was taken up from over the tabernacle, the children of Israel went onward, throughout all their journeys;
37 Na sɛ ɛgyina a, na wɔn nso agyina kɔsi sɛ ɛbɛtu atene bio.
but if the cloud was not taken up, then they did not travel until the day that it was taken up.
38 Awiaberɛ mu deɛ, Awurade omununkum no gyina Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no so na sɛ ɛduru anadwo a, na ogya asɔ wɔ omununkum no mu sɛdeɛ Israelfoɔ no nyinaa bɛhunu. Yei toaa so saa ara wɔ wɔn akwantuo no nyinaa mu.
For the cloud of the LORD was on the tabernacle by day, and there was fire in the cloud by night, in the sight of all the house of Israel, throughout all their journeys.
