4 Mose 10

1 Afei, Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose sɛ,

And Yahweh 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 they shall be unto thee for calling the assembly, and for setting forward the camps.

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

As soon as they blow therewith, so soon shall all the assembly assemble themselves unto thee, unto the entrance 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, only once, they blow, then shall the princes, the heads of the thousands of Israel, 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.

But when ye blow an alarm, then shall set forward the camps that are encamped eastwards;

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 a second alarm, then shall set forward the camps that are encamped southwards, —an alarm, shall they blow for setting them forward,

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

But in calling together the convocation, ye shall blow but 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 it shall be unto you for a statute age-abiding, unto 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 into war in your land against the assailant that assaileth you, then shall ye blow an alarm with the trumpets, —and bring yourselves to mind before Yahweh your God, and 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.”

And in your day of rejoicing and in your appointed seasons and in the beginnings of your months, then shall ye blow with the trumpets, over your ascending-sacrifices, and over your peace-offerings, —so shall they be unto you for a memorial before your God. I—Yahweh, am 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 so it came to pass in the second year, in the second month on the twentieth of the month, that the cloud lifted itself up, from off the habitation of the testimony;

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 forward by their removals from the desert of Sinai, and then the cloud abode in the desert of Paran.

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

Thus then did they set forward for the first time, —at the bidding of Yahweh, 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.

So the standard of the camp of the sons of Judah set forward first, by their hosts, and over his own host, was Nahshon, son of Amminadab;

15 Wɔn a wɔdi so ne Isakar abusuakuo a Suar babarima Netanel na ɔdi wɔn anim.

and, over the host of the tribe of the sons of Issachar, Nethanel, son of Zuar;

16 Sebulon abusuakuo na wɔdi hɔ a Helon babarima Eliab na ɔdi wɔn anim.

and, over the host of the tribe of the sons of Zebulun, Eliab, son of Helon.

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 was taken down the habitation, —and the sons of Gershon and the sons of Merari set forward bearing the habitation.

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

Then set forward the standard of the camp of Reuben, by their hosts, —and over his own host, Elizur, son of Shedeur;

19 Wɔn a na wɔdi so ne Simeon abusuakuo a Surisadai babarima Selumiel na na ɔdi wɔn anim;

and, over the host of the tribe of the sons of Simeon, Shelumiel, son of Zurishaddai;

20 Gad abusuakuo nso, na Deguel babarima Eliasaf na na ɔdi wɔn anim.

and, over the host of the tribe of the sons of Gad, Eliasaph, son of Deuel.

21 Ɛnna Kohatfoɔ no nso na na wɔdi hɔ a wɔsoso kronkronbea hɔ nneɛma. Wɔduruu hɔ no, na wɔahyehyɛ Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no wɔ beaeɛ foforɔ hɔ dada.

Then set forward the Kohathites, bearing the sanctuary, —and so the habitation was reared by the time they came in.

22 Wɔn a na wɔdi so ne Efraim abusuakuo a na wɔdi wɔn frankaa akyi a Amihud babarima Elisama na ɔdi wɔn anim;

Then set forward the standard of the camp of the sons of Ephraim by their hosts, —and over his own host, was Elishama son of Ammihud;

23 ɛnna wɔn a na wɔdi so ne Manase abusuakuo a Pedahsur babarima Gamaliel na na ɔdi wɔn anim;

and, over the host of the tribe of the sons of Manasseh, Gamaliel, son of Pedahzur;

24 afei, Benyamin abusuakuo na na wɔdi so a Gideoni babarima Abidan na na ɔdi wɔn anim.

and, over the host of the tribe of the sons of Benjamin, Abidan, son of Gideoni.

25 Wɔn a na wɔtwa toɔ koraa no ne abusuakuo a na Dan abusuakuo frankaa di wɔn anim a na wɔn panin ne Amisadai babarima Ahieser no.

Then set forward the standard of the camp of the sons of Dan, bringing up the rear of all the camps, by their hosts, —and over his own host, Ahiezur, son of Ammishaddai;

26 Okran babarima Pagiel na na ɔdi Aser abusuakuo anim.

and, over the host of the tribe of the sons of Asher, Pagiel, son of Ochran;

27 Ɛnna na Enan babarima Ahira nso di Naftali abusuakuo anim.

and, over the host of the tribe of the sons of Naphtali, Ahira, son of Enan.

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

These, were the settings-forward of the sons of Israel by their hosts, —thus did 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!”

Then said Moses to Hobab, son of Raguel the Midianite, father-in-law of Moses: Setting forward, are we unto the place of which Yahweh hath said, The same, will I give unto you, —Oh come with us and we will do thee good, for, Yahweh, 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 unto my own land, and unto my own kindred, will I go.

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

Then said he: I beseech thee, do not forsake us, —for, on this account, hast thou come to know of our encamping in the desert, so shalt thou be unto us as eyes;

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

and it shall be if thou wilt go with us, —yea it shall be that with the very good wherewith Yahweh shall do us good, will we do good unto thee.

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

So then they went forward, from the mountain of Yahweh, a journey of three days, —and the ark of the covenant of Yahweh, was going before them a journey of three days, to search out for them a resting-place,

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

And the cloud of Yahweh, was over them by day, —when they set forward out of 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: Arise, O Yahweh! and scattered be thy foes, Let them that hate thee flee before thee;

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

But when it rested, he said, —Return, O Yahweh! unto the myriads of the thousands of Israel.
