4 Mose 10
1 Afei, Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose sɛ,
The Lord told Moses,
2 “Fa dwetɛ a wɔaboro yɛ ntotorobɛnto mmienu na wɔahyɛn de afrɛ nnipa no, na watu ntomadan no akɔ.
“Make two trumpets out of hammered silver. They are to be used for summoning the Israelites and to have the camp move out.
3 Sɛ wɔhyɛn ntotorobɛnto mmienu no a, nnipa no bɛhunu sɛ, ɛsɛ sɛ wɔboa wɔn ho ano wɔ Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no ano.
When both trumpets are blown, all the Israelites are to gather before you at the entrance to the Tent of Meeting.
4 Na sɛ wɔhyɛn baako pɛ a, na ɛkyerɛ sɛ Israel mmusua no mu mpanimfoɔ na ɛsɛ sɛ wɔba wo nkyɛn.
But if only one is blown, then only the tribal leaders are to gather before 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.
When you blow the trumpet loudly, which is the alarm signal to move out, the camps on the east side are to march out 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.
When you blow the trumpet loudly the second time, the camps on the south side are to march out. That's their signal to start moving.
7 Na sɛ mofrɛ nnipa no ma wɔbɛhyia a, momfa ɛkwan foforɔ so nhyɛne ntotorobɛnto no.
To summon the people, blow the trumpets normally, not the loud alarm signal.
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.
Aaron's descendants are to blow the trumpets. This regulation is for all time and for all future 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.
When you're in your own land and have to go into battle against an enemy who has attacked you, blow the alarm signal and the Lord your God won't forget you—he will save you from 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.”
Blow the trumpets when you celebrate too, at your regular feasts and at the beginning of each month. This is when you give your burnt offerings and fellowship offerings which act as a reminder for you before 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,
The cloud rose up from the Tabernacle of the Testimony on the twentieth day of the second month of the second year.
12 enti Israelfoɔ no firii Sinai ɛserɛ so hɔ dii omununkum no akyi kɔsii sɛ ɛkɔgyinaa Paran ɛserɛ so.
The Israelites left the Desert of Sinai and moved from place to place until the cloud stopped in the Desert of Paran.
13 Ɛberɛ a ɛsɛ sɛ wɔtu no duruiɛ no, Awurade nam Mose so ka kyerɛɛ wɔn.
This was the first time they moved out following the Lord's command through Moses.
14 Akwantuo no mu no, mmusua a wɔhyɛ Yuda abusuakuo no ase, a Aminadab babarima Nahson tua ano na ɔtu wɔn frankaa na wɔdi ɛkan.
The tribal divisions of Judah went first, marching out under their flag, with Nahshon, son of Amminadab, in charge.

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.
Then the Tabernacle was dismantled, and the Gershonites and the Merarites set off, carrying it.
18 Afei, Ruben abusuakuo tuu wɔn frankaa de dii so a Sedeur babarima Elisur na na ɔdi wɔn anim.

Then the Kohathites set off, carrying the holy objects. The Tabernacle would be put up before they arrived.

Lastly came the divisions of Dan who marched out under their flag, defending the rear of all the tribal groups, with Ahiezer, son of Ammishaddai, in charge.
26 Okran babarima Pagiel na na ɔdi Aser abusuakuo anim.

and Ahira, son of Enan, was in charge of the tribal division of Naphtali.
28 Saa nhyehyɛeɛ yi na mmusuakuo yi faa so tuu wɔn kwan no.
This was the order in which the Israelite tribal divisions moved out.
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!”
Moses explained to Hobab, the son of Moses' father-in-law Reuel the Midianite, “We're leaving for the place of which the Lord promised, ‘I'm going to give it to you.’ Come with us, and we'll be good to you, because the Lord has promised good things to Israel.”
30 Nanso nʼakonta no buaa no sɛ, “Dabi, ɛsɛ sɛ mekɔ mʼasase so ne mʼabusuafoɔ nkyɛn.”
“No, I won't go—I'll return to my own country and my own people,” Hobab replied.
31 Mose srɛɛ sɛ, “Tena yɛn nkyɛn, ɛfiri sɛ, wo na wonim sɛdeɛ ɛserɛ so asetena teɛ enti wo ho bɛba mfasoɔ ama yɛn.
“Please don't abandon us now,” Moses said, “because you're the one who knows where we should camp in the desert and you can guide us.
32 Sɛ woba a, nneɛma pa a Awurade de bɛma yɛn no nyinaa, wobɛnya bi.”
If you come with us, whatever good things the Lord blesses us with we'll share with you.”
33 Wɔfiri Awurade Bepɔ so no, wɔnantee nnansa a Awurade Adaka no di wɔn anim sɛ wɔrekɔpɛ baabi a wɔbɛsoeɛ.
They left the mountain of the Lord to go on a three-day journey The Ark of the Lord's Agreement led the way for them during these three days to find a place for them to camp.
34 Wɔfirii wɔn akwantuo no ase awia a wɔrekɔ no nyinaa na Awurade omununkum no di wɔn anim.
The cloud of the Lord was above them during day as they moved on from the camp.
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.”
Whenever the Ark was carried out, Moses would call out, “Stand up, Lord, and may your enemies be scattered, and may those who hate you run away from you.”
36 Wɔsoɛɛ adaka no, ɔkaa sɛ, “Ao, Awurade, sane bra Israelfoɔ ɔpepe no mu.”
Whenever it was set down, he would call out, “Return, Lord, to the thousands and thousands of the people of Israel.”
