2 Mose 40
1 Afei Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose sɛ,
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
2 “Bosome a ɛdi ɛkan no ɛda a ɛdi ɛkan no na si Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no.
“In the first month, on the first day of the month, you shall raise the tabernacle of the testimony,
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.
and you shall place the ark in it, and you shall release the veil before it.
4 Afei, fa ɛpono no bɛsi hɔ na fa ɛho nneɛma nyinaa gu so na fa kaneadua no bra na sɔ kanea no.
And having brought in the table, you shall place the things which were solemnly commanded upon it. The lampstand shall stand with 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.
and the altar of gold, in which the incense is burned, shall stand before the ark of the testimony. You shall place the tent at the entrance of the tabernacle,
6 “Fa ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ afɔrebukyia no si Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no ɛkwan ano.
and before it, the altar of holocaust.
7 Fa atam no si Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no ne afɔrebukyia no ntam na hyɛ no nsuo ma.
The washtub shall stand between the altar and the tabernacle, and you shall fill it with water.
8 Afei, siesie adihɔ bi twa Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no ho hyia na fa nsɛnanimu no sɛn ne kwan no ano.
And you shall encompass the atrium and its entrance with hangings.
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.
And, having taken up the oil of unction, you shall anoint the tabernacle along with its articles, so that they may be sanctified.
10 Ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ afɔrebukyia no ne ɛho nneɛma nyinaa nso, pete ɔsra ngo no bi gu so na te ho na ɛnyɛ kronkron.
The altar of holocaust and all its vessels,
11 Afei, fa ngo no bi sra atam no ne ne ntaamu no so fa te ho.
the washtub with its base, and all things, you shall consecrate with the oil of unction, so that they may be the Holy of holies.
12 “Afei, fa Aaron ne ne mmammarima no bra Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no ɛkwan ano na fa nsuo hohoro wɔn ho
And you shall bring forward Aaron and his sons to the entrance of the tabernacle of the testimony, and, having washed them with water,
13 na fa atadeɛ kronkron no hyɛ Aaron, na sra no ngo na ne ho nte na ɔmmɛyɛ me ɔsɔfoɔ.
14 Afei, fa ne mmammarima no bra na fa wɔn ntadeɛ hyehyɛ wɔn
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 clothe them in the holy vestments, so that they may minister to me, and so that their unction may accomplish an everlasting priesthood.”
16 Enti, Mose kɔ kɔyɛɛ sɛdeɛ Awurade akyerɛ no no.
And Moses did all that the Lord had instructed.
17 Afe a ɛtɔ so mmienu no mu bosome a ɛdi ɛkan no ɛda a ɛdi ɛkan no, wɔkekaa Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no sisii animu.
Therefore, in the first month of the second year, on the first day of the month, the tabernacle was put in place.
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.
And Moses raised it up, and he positioned the panels as well as the bases and the bars, and he set up the columns,
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.
and he stretched out the roof over the tabernacle, imposing a cover above it, just as the Lord had decreed.
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.
And he placed the testimony in the ark, applying the bars beneath, and the oracle above.
21 Afei, ɔde Apam Adaka no bɛsii Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no mu de ntwamutam no twaa mu, sɛdeɛ Awurade hyɛeɛ no.
And when he had brought the ark into the tabernacle, he drew the veil before it, in order to fulfill the commandment of the Lord.
22 Afei, ɔde ɛpono no sii Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no atifi fam wɔ ntwamutam no akyi,
And he placed the table in the tabernacle of the testimony, at the north side, beyond the veil,
23 de Ɔkyerɛ Burodo no too so wɔ Awurade anim sɛdeɛ Awurade hyɛeɛ no.
arranging before it the bread of the presence, just as the Lord had instructed Moses.
24 Ɔde kaneadua no sii ɛpono no nkyɛn wɔ Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no anafoɔ fam.
And he placed the lampstand in the tabernacle of the testimony, away from the table, on the south side,
25 Afei, ɔsɔɔ kanea no wɔ Awurade anim sɛdeɛ Awurade kyerɛɛ no no pɛpɛɛpɛ,
setting the lamps in order, according to the precept of the Lord.
26 ɛnna ɔde sikakɔkɔɔ afɔrebukyia sii ntwamutam no ho pɛɛ wɔ Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no mu.
He also positioned the altar of gold under the roof of the testimony, opposite the veil,
27 Afei, wɔde ohwam hyee nnuhwam sɛdeɛ Awurade hyɛeɛ no.
and he heaped upon it the incense of aromatics, just as the Lord had commanded Moses.
28 Ɔde Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no ano nsɛnanotam sɛnee ano.
And he positioned the tent at the entrance of the tabernacle of the testimony,
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.
and the altar of holocaust in the vestibule of the testimony, offering the holocaust and the sacrifices upon it, just as the Lord had decreed.
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.
Likewise, he stationed the washtub between the tabernacle of the testimony and the altar, filling it with water.
31 Mose ne Aaron ne Aaron mmammarima hohoroo wɔn nsa ho ne wɔn nan ase wɔ hɔ.
And Moses and Aaron, along with his sons, washed their hands and feet,
32 Ɛberɛ biara a wɔbɛfa afɔrebukyia no ho akɔ Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no mu no, wɔgyina hohoroo wɔn ho sɛdeɛ Awurade kyerɛɛ Mose no.
whenever they would enter the covering of the covenant, and when they approached to the altar, just as the Lord had instructed 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.
And he raised up the atrium around the tabernacle and the altar, drawing the hanging at its entrance. After all these things were perfected,
34 Omununkum no bɛkataa Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no so maa Awurade animuonyam hyɛɛ no ma.
the cloud covered the tabernacle of the testimony, and the glory of the Lord filled it.
35 Esiane sɛ na omununkum no asi wɔ hɔ no enti, Mose antumi ankɔ mu na Awurade animuonyam hyɛɛ Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no ma.
Neither could Moses enter the covering of the covenant: the cloud was covering all things, and the majesty of the Lord was flashing. For the cloud had covered everything.
36 Ɛberɛ biara a omununkum no bɛpagya ne ho atu atene no, na Israelfoɔ no nso di akyire.
Whenever the cloud departed from the tabernacle, the sons of Israel set out by their companies.
37 Na sɛ ɛgyina a, na wɔn nso agyina kɔsi sɛ ɛbɛtu atene bio.
But if it remained hanging over it, they remained in the same place.
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.
Certainly, the cloud of the Lord lay over the tabernacle by day, and the fire by night, being seen by all the people of Israel throughout all their resting places.
