4 Mose 9
1 Bosome a ɛdi ɛkan no mu afe a ɛtɔ so mmienu no mu a wɔafiri Misraim no na Awurade kaa saa asɛm yi kyerɛɛ Mose ɛberɛ a ɔne Israelfoɔ wɔ Sinai ɛserɛ no so no sɛ,
And Yahweh spake unto Moses in the desert of Sinai, in the second year by their coming forth out of the land of Egypt in the first month, saying:
2 “Ɛsɛ sɛ afe biara mu bosome a ɛdi ɛkan no dadu nna ɛnan no, Israelfoɔ di Twam Afahyɛ no.
Let the sons of Israel therefore, keep the passover in its appointed season:
3 Ɛsɛ sɛ wɔhyɛ afahyɛ no ase owiatɔberɛ. Ɛsɛ sɛ modi mmara biara a ɛfa saa afahyɛ yi die ho so.”
on the fourteenth day of this month between the two evenings, shall ye keep it, in its appointed season, —according to all the statute thereof and according to all the regulations thereof, shall ye keep it.
4 Enti Mose kaa sɛ, wɔbɛhyɛ Twam Afahyɛ no die ase ɛda a ɛtɔ so dunan no anwummerɛ
Then spake Moses unto the sons of Israel that they should keep the passover.
5 wɔ Sinai asase pɔ no so sɛdeɛ Awurade ahyɛ no.
So they kept the passover in the first [month], on the fourteenth day of the month between the two evenings, in the desert of Sinai, —according to all that Yahweh commanded Moses, so, did the sons of Israel.
6 Na asɛm a ɛsiiɛ ne sɛ, afei na na nnipa no bi firi ayie aba enti, ɛsiane sɛ wɔde wɔn ho aka owufoɔ enti, na wɔn ho agu fi. Yei enti anadwo no, wɔantumi anwe Twam Afahyɛ dwammaa no bi. Wɔbaa Mose ne Aaron nkyɛn
But so it was that there were, certain men who had become unclean by a dead person, and could not keep the passover on that day, —therefore came they near before Moses and before Aaron on that day.
7 bɛkyerɛkyerɛɛ nsɛm a ɛha wɔn mu kyerɛɛ wɔn. Wobisaa sɛ, “Yɛde yɛn ho aka funu, nanso ɛdeɛn enti na yɛne Israelfoɔ nyinaa rentumi mfa yɛn afɔrebɔdeɛ mmrɛ Awurade sɛdeɛ nhyehyɛeɛ no teɛ no?”
Then said those men unto him, We, are unclean by a dead person, —wherefore should we become of less esteem for want of offering the oblation of Yahweh in its appointed season, in the midst of the sons of Israel?
8 Mose kaa sɛ ɔbɛbisa Awurade.
And Moses said unto them, —Stay, and let me hear, what Yahweh shall command concerning you!
9 Ɔbisaa Awurade no, mmuaeɛ a ɔnyaeɛ nie:
Then spake Yahweh unto Moses, saying:
10 “Israelni biara a ɔbɛsɔ efunu mu, sɛ ɔyɛ nnɛmma anaa ɔfiri awoɔ ntoatoasoɔ a ɛreba no mu no, sɛ ɛyɛ Twam Afahyɛberɛ a, ne ho agu fi, ɛfiri sɛ, wasɔ efunu mu. Sɛ wɔnam akwantuo mu enti wɔantumi amma a, wɔtumi di Awurade Twam Afahyɛ no bosome akyi;
Speak unto the sons of Israel, saying, —Though, any man, be unclean by a dead person or be on a journey afar off, whether in the case of yourselves or of your generations, yet shall he keep a passover unto Yahweh.
11 bosome a ɛtɔ so mmienu no ɛda a ɛtɔ so dunan no anwummerɛ na ɛsɛ sɛ wɔhyɛ aseɛ. Saa ɛberɛ no na ɛsɛ sɛ wɔwe odwammaa no a burodo a mmɔreka nni mu ka ho a ahahan nwononwono bi ka ho.
In the second month, on the fourteenth day between the two evenings, shall they keep it, —with unleavened cakes and bitter herbs, shall they eat it.
12 Ɛnsɛ sɛ wɔgya bi ma adeɛ kye so. Ɛnsɛ sɛ wɔbɔ ne dompe mu. Na ɛsɛ sɛ wɔdi Twam Afahyɛ no mmara no nyinaa so pɛpɛɛpɛ.
They shall not leave thereof until morning, and no bone, shall they break therein—according to all the statutes of the passover, shall they keep it.
13 Nanso obiara a ne ho nguu fi anaa obi a ɔntuu kwan no nanso wanni Twam Afahyɛ no wɔ ne berɛ ano no, wɔbɛtwa no asuo afiri Israelfoɔ no mu, ɛfiri sɛ, ɔboa pa sɛ ɔremmɔ afɔdeɛ mma Awurade ɛberɛ a ɛsɛ mu, enti ɛsɛ sɛ ɛho afɔdie ba ne so.
But as for the man who is, clean, and no a journey, doth not chance to be and yet faileth to keep the passover, that person shall he cut off from among his kinsfolk, —for the oblation of Yahweh, hath he not offered in its appointed season, his own sin, shall, that man, bear.
14 “Sɛ ɔhɔhoɔ bi fra mo mu na ɔpɛ sɛ ɔdi Twam Afahyɛ no bi de hyɛ Awurade animuonyam a, ɛsɛ sɛ ɔdi mmara korɔ no ara so. Mmara baako na ɛwɔ hɔ ma mo nyinaa.”
When moreover there may sojourn with you a sojourner, who would keep a passover unto Yahweh, according to the statute of the passover, and according to the regulation thereof, so, must he keep [it], —one statute, shall there be for you, both for the sojourner and for the native of the land.
15 Ɛda a wɔmaa Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no so sii hɔ no, omununkum kataa so. Anwummerɛ no ara, omununkum no dane yɛɛ sɛ ogya na ɛyɛɛ saa ara anadwo mu no nyinaa.
Now, on the day the habitation was reared, the cloud covered the habitation, even the tent of the testimony, —and in the evening, it was over the habitation, like an appearance of fire, until morning,
16 Saa ara na ɛte ɛberɛ biara, na ɛduru anadwo a, omununkum no dane yɛ sɛ ogya.
Thus, came it to pass continually, the cloud, covered it, —and an appearance of fire, by night;
17 Omununkum no maa ne ho so no, Israelfoɔ no dii akyire kɔsii baabiara a ɛkɔ kɔgyinaeɛ ma wɔbɔɔ hɔ atenaeɛ.
but at the bidding of the upgoings of the cloud from off the tent, then, after that, the sons of Israel set forward, —and in the place where the cloud abode, there the sons of Israel encamped:
18 Yei kyerɛ sɛ, sɛ Awurade ka sɛ wɔnkɔ a, wɔkɔ, na sɛ ɔka sɛ wɔnnyina a, wɔgyina. Na sɛ Omununkum no gyina a, wɔn nso gyina kɔsi mmerɛ dodoɔ a ɛgyina hɔ no nyinaa.
at the bidding of Yahweh, the sons of Israel set forward, and at the bidding of Yahweh, they encamped, —all the days that the cloud abode upon the habitation, they remained encamped.
19 Sɛ ɛgyina baabi kyɛ a, wɔn nso gyina hɔ kyɛ. Na sɛ ɛgyina hɔ nna kakra bi a, wɔn nso gyina hɔ nna kakra bi saa ara, ɛfiri sɛ, saa na Awurade ahyɛ wɔn sɛ wɔnyɛ.
And when the cloud lengthened out its stay upon the habitation, many days, then would the sons of Israel keep the watch of Yahweh, and would not set forward.
20 Ɛtɔ da bi a, omununkum no tena Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no so nna kakraa bi. Sɛ ɛba saa a, nnipa no nso tena nna kakraa bi. Na Awurade nhyɛ mu, wɔtu firii wɔn atenaeɛ.
And, so it was, when the cloud would be a few days upon the habitation, at the bidding of Yahweh, they remained encamped, and at the bidding of Yahweh, they set forward.
21 Ɛtɔ da bi nso a, omununkum no tena anadwo na akɔ adekyeeɛ. Nanso sɛ ɛyɛ awia anaa anadwo na omununkum no ma ne ho so a, nnipa no tu fi atenaeɛ hɔ di akyi.
And, so it was, when the cloud would be from evening until morning, as soon as the cloud went up in the morning, so soon did they set forward: whether by day or by night, as soon as the cloud went up, so soon did they set forward.
22 Sɛ omununkum no ba Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no atifi na ɛdi nnanu, bosome anaa afe a, saa nna no ara so na Israelfoɔ no hwɛ de tena hɔ. Nanso ɛnya tu ara pɛ, na wɔn nso atu.
Whether for two days or a month or a year, the cloud lengthened out its stay upon the habitation abiding thereupon, the sons of Israel remained encamped and set not forward, —but at the upgoings thereof, they set forward.
23 Yei kyerɛ sɛ, wɔn atenaseɛbɔ ne wɔn akwantuo nyinaa gyina Awurade mmara a ɔhyɛ ma wɔn so; na biribiara a Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose sɛ wɔnyɛ no, wɔyɛeɛ.
At the bidding of Yahweh, they encamped, and at the bidding of Yahweh, they set forward, —the watch of Yahweh, they kept, at the bidding of Yahweh by the hand of Moses.
