4 Mose 10
1 Afei, Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose sɛ,
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 two trumpets of silver. You shall make them of beaten work. You shall 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.
When they blow them, all the congregation shall gather themselves to you 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.
If they blow just one, then the princes, the heads of the thousands of Israel, shall gather themselves 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.
When you blow an alarm, the camps that lie on the east side shall go forward.

When you blow an alarm the second time, the camps that lie on the south side shall go forward. 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, you shall blow, but you 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.
“The sons of Aaron, the priests, shall blow the trumpets. This shall be to you for a statute forever 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.
When you go to war in your land against the adversary who oppresses you, then you shall sound an alarm with the trumpets. Then you will be remembered before the LORD your God, and you will 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, you shall blow 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,
