Exodus 24

1 He said to Moses, “Come up to Yahweh, you, and Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel; and worship from a distance.

Afei, Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose se, “Wo ne Aaron, Nadab, Abihu ne Israelfo mpanyimfo aduɔson mforo mmra ha. Mo nyinaa, momma me ne mo ntam ntwe na monsom me.

2 Moses alone shall come near to Yahweh, but they shall not come near. The people shall not go up with him.”

Mose nko ara na ɔbɛbɛn Awurade; na monkae nso sɛ, ɛnsɛ sɛ wɔn a wɔaka no twiw bɛn bepɔw no koraa.”

3 Moses came and told the people all Yahweh’s words, and all the ordinances; and all the people answered with one voice, and said, “All the words which Yahweh has spoken will we do.”

Mose kaa mmara a Awurade hyɛɛ no no nyinaa kyerɛɛ nnipa no ma wɔn nyinaa bɔ gyee so se, “Yebedi ne nyinaa so.”

4 Moses wrote all Yahweh’s words, then rose up early in the morning and built an altar at the base of the mountain, with twelve pillars for the twelve tribes of Israel.

Mose kyerɛw Awurade mmara no nyinaa guu hɔ. Ade kyee anɔpa no, osii afɔremuka wɔ bepɔw no ase. Ɔde adum dumien twaa ho hyiae, efisɛ na Israel mmusuakuw no yɛ dumien.

5 He sent young men of the children of Israel, who offered burnt offerings and sacrificed peace offerings of cattle to Yahweh.

Afei, ɔsomaa mmabun a wɔwɔ wɔn mu no bi sɛ wɔnkɔbɔ ɔhyew afɔre ne asomdwoe afɔre mma Awurade.

6 Moses took half of the blood and put it in basins, and half of the blood he sprinkled on the altar.

Mose sɔn mmoa no mogya no fa de guu nkankyee mu, na ɔtow fa a aka no petee afɔremuka no so.

7 He took the book of the covenant and read it in the hearing of the people, and they said, “We will do all that Yahweh has said, and be obedient.”

Ɔkenkan nhoma a wakyerɛw a ɛyɛ Apam Nhoma a Awurade akwankyerɛ ne ne mmara wɔ mu no kyerɛɛ nnipa no. Nnipa no bɔ gyee so bio se, “Yɛhyɛ bɔ sɛ, yebedi mmara no nyinaa so.”

8 Moses took the blood, and sprinkled it on the people, and said, “Look, this is the blood of the covenant, which Yahweh has made with you concerning all these words.”

Afei, Mose de mogya a ɛwɔ nkankye no mu no petee nnipa no so kae se, “Saa mogya yi hyɛ apam a mo ne Awurade ayɛ ne mmara a ɔde ama mo no mu den.”

9 Then Moses, Aaron, Nadab, Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel went up.

Mose, Aaron, Nadab, Abihu ne Israelfo mpanyimfo aduɔson no foro kɔɔ bepɔw no so

10 They saw the God of Israel. Under his feet was like a paved work of sapphire stone, like the skies for clearness.

na wohuu Israel Nyankopɔn. Na nʼanan ntiaso hyerɛn te sɛ hoabo a ne hyerɛn te sɛ wim ahosu.

11 He didn’t lay his hand on the nobles of the children of Israel. They saw God, and ate and drank.

Ɛwɔ mu sɛ mpanyimfo no huu Onyankopɔn de, nanso wansɛe wɔn. Nokwarem, wɔn nyinaa bɔɔ mu didii wɔ Awurade anim.

12 Yahweh said to Moses, “Come up to me on the mountain, and stay here, and I will give you the stone tablets with the law and the commands that I have written, that you may teach them.”

Na Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose se, “Foro bra me nkyɛn wɔ bepɔw so ha na tena ha, na mede mmaransɛm a makyerɛw agu ɔbo so no bɛma wo, na woafa so akyerɛkyerɛ nnipa no.”

13 Moses rose up with Joshua, his servant, and Moses went up onto God’s Mountain.

Enti Mose ne ne boafo Yosua foro kɔɔ Onyankopɔn bepɔw no so.

14 He said to the elders, “Wait here for us, until we come again to you. Behold, Aaron and Hur are with you. Whoever is involved in a dispute can go to them.”

Ɔka kyerɛɛ mpanyimfo no se, “Montena ha ntwɛn yɛn kosi sɛ yɛbɛba. Sɛ asɛm bi kyere obi so a, obetumi akɔ Aaron ne Hur nkyɛn.”

15 Moses went up on the mountain, and the cloud covered the mountain.

Mose foro kɔɔ bepɔw no so hɔ na ɔyeraa wɔ omununkum mu.

16 Yahweh’s glory settled on Mount Sinai, and the cloud covered it six days. The seventh day he called to Moses out of the middle of the cloud.

Na Awurade anuonyam hyɛɛ Sinai bepɔw no so ma. Na omununkum sii bepɔw no so nnansia. Ne nnanson so no, ɔfrɛɛ Mose fii omununkum no mu.

17 The appearance of Yahweh’s glory was like devouring fire on the top of the mountain in the eyes of the children of Israel.

Wɔn a wɔwɔ bepɔw no ase no huu anwonwade no. Na Awurade anuonyam a ɛwɔ bepɔw no so no te sɛ ogya a ɛredɛw.

18 Moses entered into the middle of the cloud, and went up on the mountain; and Moses was on the mountain forty days and forty nights.

Na Mose yeraa wɔ bepɔw no so mununkum no mu. Odii bepɔw no so adaduanan.
