4 Mose 10

1 Afei, Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose sɛ,

And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

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

Make thee two trumpets of silver; of beaten work shalt thou make them: and thou shalt use them for the calling of the congregation, and for the journeying of the camps.

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

And when they shall blow with them, all the congregation shall gather themselves unto thee at the door of 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.

And if they blow but with one, then the princes, the heads of the thousands of Israel, shall gather themselves unto thee.

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

And when ye blow an alarm, the camps that lie on the east side shall take their journey.

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.

And when ye blow an alarm the second time, the camps that lie on the south side shall take their journey: they shall blow an alarm for their journeys.

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

But when the assembly is to be gathered together, ye shall blow, but ye shall not sound an alarm.

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.

And the sons of Aaron, the priests, shall blow with the trumpets; and they shall be to you for a statute for ever throughout 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.

And when ye go to war in your land against the adversary that oppresseth you, then ye shall sound an alarm with the trumpets; and ye shall be remembered before the LORD your God, and ye shall be saved 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.”

Also in the day of your gladness, and in your set feasts, and in the beginnings of your months, ye shall blow with the trumpets over your burnt offerings, and over the sacrifices of your peace offerings; and they shall be to you for a memorial 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,

And it came to pass in the second year, in the second month, on the twentieth day of the month, that the cloud was taken up from over the tabernacle of the testimony.

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

And the children of Israel set forward according to their journeys out of the wilderness of Sinai; and the cloud abode in the wilderness of Paran.

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

And they first took their journey according to the commandment of the LORD by the hand of 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.

Thus were the journeyings of the children of Israel according to their hosts; and they set forward.

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 unto Hobab, the son of Reuel the Midianite, Moses’ father in law, We are journeying unto the place of which the LORD said, I will give it you: come thou with us, and we will do thee good: for the LORD hath spoken good concerning Israel.

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

And he said unto him, I will not go; but I will depart to mine own land, and to my kindred.

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, Leave us not, I pray thee; forasmuch as thou knowest how we are to encamp in the wilderness, and thou shalt be to us instead of eyes.

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

And it shall be, if thou go with us, yea, it shall be, that what good soever the LORD shall do unto us, the same will we do unto thee.

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

And they set forward from the mount of the LORD three days’ journey; and the ark of the covenant of the LORD went before them three days’ journey, to seek out a resting place for them.

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

And the cloud of the LORD was over them by day, when they set forward 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.”

And it came to pass, when the ark set forward, that Moses said, Rise up, O LORD, and let thine enemies be scattered; and let them that hate thee flee before thee.

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

And when it rested, he said, Return, O LORD, unto the ten thousands of the thousands of Israel.
