4 Mose 10

1 Afei, Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose sɛ,

And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:

2 “Fa dwetɛ a wɔaboro yɛ ntotorobɛnto mmienu na wɔahyɛn de afrɛ nnipa no, na watu ntomadan no akɔ.

“Make for yourself two trumpets of ductile silver, with which you may be able to call together the multitude when the camp is to be moved.

3 Sɛ wɔhyɛn ntotorobɛnto mmienu no a, nnipa no bɛhunu sɛ, ɛsɛ sɛ wɔboa wɔn ho ano wɔ Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no ano.

And when you sound the trumpets, all the multitude shall gather to you at the door of the tabernacle of the covenant.

4 Na sɛ wɔhyɛn baako pɛ a, na ɛkyerɛ sɛ Israel mmusua no mu mpanimfoɔ na ɛsɛ sɛ wɔba wo nkyɛn.

If you sound it only once, the leaders and the heads of the multitude of Israel shall come to you.

5 Sɛ mohyɛn de kyerɛ sɛ monkɔ mo anim a, mmusuakuo a wɔwɔ Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan apueeɛ fam no bɛtu wɔn atenaeɛ hɔ na wɔakɔ.

But if the sound of the trumpets is prolonged, but with interruptions, those who are toward the east side shall move the camp first.

6 Sɛ mohyɛn deɛ ɛtɔ so mmienu no a, mmusuakuo a wɔwɔ anafoɔ fam no bɛdi so. Monhyɛn no ntiantia mu mfa nkyerɛ sɛ wɔnkɔ.

Then, at the second sounding of the trumpet with the same cadence, those who live toward the south shall take up their tents. And the remainder shall act in like manner, when the trumpets shall reverberate for a departure.

7 Na sɛ mofrɛ nnipa no ma wɔbɛhyia a, momfa ɛkwan foforɔ so nhyɛne ntotorobɛnto no.

But when the people are to be gathered together, the sound of the trumpets shall be simple, and the sounds shall not be separated.

8 “Aaron mmammarima asɔfoɔ nko ara na wɔbɛma wɔn ɛkwan ama wɔahyɛn ntotorobɛnto no. Yei yɛ mmara a ɛbɛtena hɔ daa afiri awoɔ ntoatoasoɔ so akɔsi awoɔ ntoatoasoɔ so.

Now it is the sons of Aaron the priest who shall sound the trumpets. And this shall be an everlasting ordinance, in your generations.

9 Sɛ moduru Bɔhyɛ Asase no so na mo ne mo atamfoɔ ko na mohyɛn ntotorobɛnto no a, Awurade, mo Onyankopɔn bɛtie mo na wagye mo afiri mo atamfoɔ nsam.

If you go forth to war from your land, against the enemies who set out against you, you shall sound the trumpets repeatedly, and there shall be a remembrance of you before the Lord your God, so that you may be rescued from the hands of your enemies.

10 Anigyeberɛ mu nso, monhyɛn ntotorobɛnto no. Afe mu dapɔnna nso, monhyɛn. Bosome biara ahyɛaseɛ nso, monhyɛ mfa nnye mo ani wɔ ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ ne asomdwoeɛ afɔdeɛ ho. Sɛ moyɛ saa a, ɛbɛkae Onyankopɔn apam a ɔne mo apam no. Na mene Awurade mo Onyankopɔn.”

If at any time you will have a banquet, and on feast days, and on the first days of the months, you shall sound the trumpets over the holocausts and the peace-offering victims, so that they may be for you as a remembrance by your God. I am the Lord your God.”

11 Bosome a ɛtɔ so mmienu no ɛda a ɛtɔ so aduonu no a ɛyɛ mfeɛ mmienu a Israelfoɔ firii Misraim no, omununkum no pagyaa ne ho firii Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no so,

In the second year, in the second month, on the twentieth day of the month, the cloud was lifted up from the tabernacle of the covenant.

12 enti Israelfoɔ no firii Sinai ɛserɛ so hɔ dii omununkum no akyi kɔsii sɛ ɛkɔgyinaa Paran ɛserɛ so.

And the sons of Israel set out by their companies from the desert of Sinai, and the cloud rested in the wilderness of Paran.

13 Ɛberɛ a ɛsɛ sɛ wɔtu no duruiɛ no, Awurade nam Mose so ka kyerɛɛ wɔn.

And the first to move their camp, according to the command of the Lord by the hand of Moses,

17 Wɔtutuu Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no, na Gerson ne Merari mmusua a wɔfiri Lewifoɔ mu no soaa Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no dii wɔn afa wɔ santen no mu.

And the tabernacle was taken down, because the sons of Gershon and Merari, who carry it, were departing.

18 Afei, Ruben abusuakuo tuu wɔn frankaa de dii so a Sedeur babarima Elisur na na ɔdi wɔn anim.

And the sons of Ruben also set out, by their companies and ranks, whose leader was Elizur the son of Shedeur.

Then the Kohathites also set out, carrying the Sanctuary. The tabernacle was carried, all the while, until they arrived at the place for setting it up.

28 Saa nhyehyɛeɛ yi na mmusuakuo yi faa so tuu wɔn kwan no.

These were the camps and departures of the sons of Israel by their companies, when they went forth.

29 Ɛda bi, Mose ka kyerɛɛ nʼakonta Hobab, Midiani Reuel ba sɛ, “Yei nyinaa akyi no, yɛrekɔ Bɔhyɛ Asase no so. Bra na yɛnkɔ na yɛbɛhwɛ wo so yie; ɛfiri sɛ, Awurade ahyɛ Israelfoɔ bɔ a emu yɛ den!”

And Moses said to Hobab the son of Raguel the Midianite, his kinsman: “We are setting out to the place which the Lord will give to us. Come with us, so that we may do good to you. For the Lord has promised good things to Israel.”

30 Nanso nʼakonta no buaa no sɛ, “Dabi, ɛsɛ sɛ mekɔ mʼasase so ne mʼabusuafoɔ nkyɛn.”

And he answered him, “I will not go with you, but I will return to my own land, in which I was born.”

31 Mose srɛɛ sɛ, “Tena yɛn nkyɛn, ɛfiri sɛ, wo na wonim sɛdeɛ ɛserɛ so asetena teɛ enti wo ho bɛba mfasoɔ ama yɛn.

And he said: “Do not choose to leave us. For you know in which places in the desert we ought to make camp, and so you shall be our guide.

32 Sɛ woba a, nneɛma pa a Awurade de bɛma yɛn no nyinaa, wobɛnya bi.”

And if you come with us, whatever will be best among the riches which the Lord will deliver to us, we will give to you.”

33 Wɔfiri Awurade Bepɔ so no, wɔnantee nnansa a Awurade Adaka no di wɔn anim sɛ wɔrekɔpɛ baabi a wɔbɛsoeɛ.

Therefore, they set out from the Mountain of the Lord on a journey of three days. And the ark of the covenant of the Lord preceded them, for three days, in order to provide a place for the camp.

34 Wɔfirii wɔn akwantuo no ase awia a wɔrekɔ no nyinaa na Awurade omununkum no di wɔn anim.

Likewise, the cloud of the Lord was over them, throughout the day, while they proceeded.

35 Wɔmaa adaka no so kɔɔ wɔn anim kakra no, Mose teaam sɛ, “Ao, Awurade, sɔre! Na hwete wʼatamfoɔ; ma wɔn nyinaa nnwane mfiri wʼanim.”

And when the ark was lifted up, Moses said, “Rise up, O Lord, and let your enemies be scattered, and let those who hate you flee from your face.”

36 Wɔsoɛɛ adaka no, ɔkaa sɛ, “Ao, Awurade, sane bra Israelfoɔ ɔpepe no mu.”

And when it was set down, he said: “Return, O Lord, to the multitude of the army of Israel.”
