2 Mose 34

1 Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose sɛ, “Yɛ aboɔ twerɛ apono mmienu te sɛ deɛ woyɛɛ kane no na mɛtwerɛ mmara korɔ no ara sɛdeɛ na ɛwɔ deɛ wobubuu mu no so ara pɛ ama wo.

And Jehovah said to Moses, Hew for thyself two tables of stone like the first; and I will write upon the tables the words that were upon the first tables, which thou hast broken.

2 Siesie wo ho na bra Sinai Bepɔ so anɔpa na fa wo ho bɛkyerɛ me.

And be ready for the morning, and go up in the morning to mount Sinai, and stand there before me on the top of the mountain.

3 Mfa obiara nka wo ho na ɛnsɛ sɛ obiara bɛn bepɔ no ho baabiara. Mma mmoa biara nkɔ adidi mmɛn bepɔ no.”

And let no man go up with thee, neither shall any man be seen on all the mountain; neither shall sheep and oxen feed in front of that mountain.

4 Enti, Mose twaa twerɛ apono mmienu te sɛ kane deɛ no de kɔɔ Sinai Bepɔ so anɔpahema sɛdeɛ Awurade hyɛeɛ no.

And he hewed two tables of stone like the first; and Moses rose up early in the morning and went up to mount Sinai, as Jehovah had commanded him, and took in his hand the two tables of stone.

5 Awurade siane baa sɛ omununkum fadum bɛgyinaa Mose ho bɔɔ ne din kronkron Awurade no.

And Jehovah came down in the cloud, and stood beside him there, and proclaimed the name of Jehovah.

6 Awurade faa nʼanim frɛɛ no kaa sɛ, “Me, Awurade, Onyankopɔn mmɔborɔhunufoɔ ne ɔdomfoɔ a me bo kyɛre fu na mewɔ ɔdɔ na medi nokorɛ nso;

And Jehovah passed by before his face, and proclaimed, Jehovah, Jehovah God merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abundant in goodness and truth,

7 me Awurade, me dɔ nnipa mpempem na mede atirimuɔden, atuateɛ ne bɔne kyɛ. Metwe afɔdie aso na metwe Agyanom, mma ne mmanananom kɔsi awoɔ ntoatoasoɔ mmiɛnsa ne ɛnan aso.”

keeping mercy unto thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, but by no means clearing [the guilty]; visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, and upon the children's children, upon the third and upon the fourth [generation].

8 Mose kotoo Awurade somm no.

And Moses made haste, and bowed his head to the earth and worshipped,

9 Ɔkaa sɛ, “Sɛ ɛyɛ nokorɛ pa ara sɛ woagye me atom deɛ a, Ao Awurade, wo ne yɛnkɔ bɔhyɛ asase no so. Saa nnipa yi yɛ asoɔden deɛ, nanso fa yɛn bɔne kyɛ yɛn na gye yɛn sɛ wo ara wo nnipa.”

and said, If indeed I have found grace in thine eyes, Lord, let the Lord, I pray thee, go in our midst; for it is a stiff-necked people; and pardon our iniquity and our sin, and take us for an inheritance!

10 Awurade buaa sɛ, “Ɛyɛ, me ne wo bɛyɛ nhyehyɛeɛ bi. Merebɛyɛ anwanwadeɛ bi a ebi nsii asase so da, na ɛnam so ama Israelfoɔ nyinaa ahunu tumi a Awurade wɔ. Menam wo so na mɛyɛ saa tumideɛ no.

And he said, Behold, I make a covenant: before all thy people I will do marvels that have not been done in all the earth, nor in any nation; and all the people in the midst of which thou [art] shall see the work of Jehovah; for a terrible thing it shall be that I will do with thee.

11 Wo fam deɛ a wobɛyɛ ara ne sɛ, wobɛtie nsɛm a mɛhyɛ wo no na woayɛ ne nyinaa; na sɛ ɛba saa a, mɛpam Amorifoɔ, Kanaanfoɔ, Hetifoɔ, Perisifoɔ, Hewifoɔ ne Yebusifoɔ no nyinaa afiri wʼanim.

Observe what I command thee this day: behold, I will drive out before thee the Amorite, and the Canaanite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, and the Hivite, and the Jebusite.

12 Hwɛ wo ho so yie pa ara na wo ne ɔman a worekɔ mu no mufoɔ ampam, ɛfiri sɛ, sɛ woyɛ saa a, ɛbɛma wo nso woayɛ nnebɔne a wɔyɛ no bi.

Take heed to thyself, that thou make no covenant with the inhabitants of the land to which thou shalt come, lest it be a snare in the midst of thee;

13 Bubu wɔn abosonsom afɔrebukyia no. Sɛe wɔn aboɔ adum no na montutu wɔn abosom no ngu.

but ye shall demolish their altars, shatter their statues, and hew down their Asherahs.

14 Na monnsom onyame foforɔ biara nka Awurade ho, na ɔno nko ara ne Onyankopɔn a ɛsɛ sɛ mosom no.

For thou shalt worship no other God; for Jehovah — Jealous is his name — is a jealous God;

15 “Wone onipa biara a ɔte asase no so nnyɛ asomdwoeɛ apam biara, ɛfiri sɛ, wɔnni me nokorɛ, na wɔbɔ afɔdeɛ ma wɔn anyame de tia me. Sɛ wo ne wɔn fa yɔnko a, wɔbɛto nsa afrɛ wo sɛ ma yɛnkɔsom yɛn anyame na anhwɛ yie a, wobɛkɔ.

lest thou make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land, and then, when they go a whoring after their gods, and sacrifice unto their gods, thou be invited, and eat of their sacrifice,

16 Afei, ɛyɛ saa a, mobɛgye wɔn mmammaa aware ama mo mmammarima no akɔsom wɔn yerenom no anyame bi de atia me.

and thou take of their daughters unto thy sons, and their daughters go a whoring after their gods, and make thy sons go a whoring after their gods.

17 “Monnsom ahoni biara.

— Thou shalt make thyself no molten gods.

18 “Bɔ mmɔden sɛ wɔbɛdi Apiti Afahyɛ no nnanson sɛdeɛ meka kyerɛɛ wo no. Di no afe biara mu ɔbosome Abib (Yudafoɔ bosome a ɛdi ɛkan) mu. Saa bosome no mu na motu firii Misraim.

— The feast of the unleavened bread shalt thou keep: seven days shalt thou eat unleavened bread, as I have commanded thee, at the appointed time of the month Abib; for in the month Abib thou camest out from Egypt.

19 “Abakan biara yɛ me dea, sɛ ɛyɛ nantwie, odwan anaa abirekyie.

— All that openeth the womb [is] mine; and all the cattle that is born a male, the firstling of ox and sheep.

20 Afunumu ba a ɔyɛ abakan deɛ, wɔmfa no nsesa odwammaa. Na sɛ wompɛ sɛ wode no di nsesa deɛ a, bu ne kɔn mu. Mo mmammarima deɛ, monsesa wɔn nyinaa. “Obiara mma mʼanim a ɔnkura akyɛdeɛ bi.

But the firstling of an ass thou shalt ransom with a lamb; and if thou ransom [it] not, then shalt thou break its neck. All the first-born of thy sons thou shalt ransom; and none shall appear before me empty.

21 “Nnansia pɛ na momfa nyɛ adwuma. Ɛda a ɛtɔ so nson no deɛ, monnni dwuma biara. Ofuntumberɛ anaa otwaberɛ mpo, momfa nna nsia nyɛ adwuma. Ɛda a ɛtɔ so nson no, monhome.

— Six days shalt thou work, but on the seventh day thou shalt rest; in ploughing time and in harvest thou shalt rest.

22 “Monkae na monni saa afahyɛ mmiɛnsa a ɛwɔ afe mu no nyinaa. Yeinom ne: Otwaberɛ Afahyɛ (anaasɛ Pentekoste), Atokoɔ a ɛdi ɛkan Afahyɛ ne Otwa Afahyɛ.

— And thou shalt observe the feast of weeks, of the first-fruits of wheat-harvest, and the feast of ingathering at the turn of the year.

23 Saa afahyɛ mmiɛnsa yi mu biara duru so a, ɛsɛ sɛ Israelfoɔ mmarima ne mmarimaa nyinaa ba Awurade wo Onyankopɔn anim.

Thrice in the year shall all thy males appear before the Lord Jehovah, the God of Israel.

24 Sɛ mokɔ Awurade, mo Onyankopɔn, anim saa mprɛnsa no nyinaa afe biara mu a, obiara nni hɔ a ɔbɛtoa mo abɛdi mo asase no so. Mɛpam saa aman no wɔ mo anim na matrɛ mo ahyeɛ mu.

For I will dispossess the nations before thee, and enlarge thy border, and no man shall desire thy land, when thou goest up to appear before the face of Jehovah thy God thrice in the year.

25 “Mommfa burodo a mmɔreka wɔ mu mmɔ me afɔdeɛ. Na Twam Afahyɛ ɛnam no nso, mommfa bi nsi hɔ mma adeɛ nkye so.

— Thou shalt not offer the blood of my sacrifice with leaven; neither shall the sacrifice of the feast of the passover be left over night until the morning.

26 “Sɛ motwa mo mfudeɛ a, momfa otwakane mu nyiyimu a ɛsɔ ani mmrɛ me; wɔde bɛma Awurade mo Onyankopɔn. “Nnoa abirekyie ba wɔ ne maame nufosuo mu.”

— The first of the first-fruits of thy land shalt thou bring into the house of Jehovah thy God. Thou shalt not boil a kid in its mother's milk.

27 Na Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose sɛ, “Twerɛ saa mmara a mede ama wo yi nyinaa gu hɔ, ɛfiri sɛ, ɛgyina hɔ ma me ne wo ne Israel apam.”

And Jehovah said to Moses, Write thee these words; for after the tenor of these words have I made a covenant with thee and with Israel.

28 Mose ne Awurade de adaduanan, awia ne anadwo, dii nkutaho wɔ bepɔ no so, na saa ɛberɛ no, Mose annidi annom. Saa ɛberɛ no, Onyankopɔn twerɛɛ Mmaransɛm Edu no guu ɛboɔ twerɛpono so.

— And he was there with Jehovah forty days and forty nights; he ate no bread, and drank no water. — And he wrote on the tables the words of the covenant, the ten words.

29 Ɛberɛ a Mose de twerɛ apono no fi Onyankopɔn nkyɛn resiane bepɔ no, na ɔnnim sɛ nʼanim rehyerɛn.

And it came to pass, when Moses came down from mount Sinai — and the two tables of testimony were in Moses' hand, when he came down from the mountain — that Moses knew not that the skin of his face shone through his talking with him.

30 Esiane nʼanim hyerɛn a na ɛhyerɛn no enti, Aaron ne Israelfoɔ no hunuu Mose no, wɔsuroeɛ sɛ wɔbɛbɛn no.

And Aaron and all the children of Israel saw Moses, and behold, the skin of his face shone; and they were afraid to come near him.

31 Nanso, Mose frɛɛ wɔn baa ne nkyɛn maa Aaron ne ɔman no mu ntuanofoɔ ne no bɛkasaeɛ.

And Moses called to them; and they turned to him, — Aaron and all the principal men of the assembly; and Moses talked with them.

32 Akyire no, nnipa no nyinaa baa ne nkyɛn maa ɔde mmaransɛm a Awurade de maa no wɔ bepɔ no so hɔ no maa wɔn.

And afterwards, all the children of Israel came near; and he gave them in commandment all that Jehovah had spoken with him on mount Sinai.

33 Mose ne wɔn kasa wieeɛ no, ɔde nkatanimu kataa nʼanim,

And Moses ended speaking with them; and he had put on his face a veil.

34 na ɛberɛ biara a ɔbɛkɔ Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan mu hɔ ne Awurade akɔkasa no, ɔyi nkatanimu no kɔsi sɛ ɔbɛsane aba bio; ɔba saa a, asɛm biara a Onyankopɔn aka akyerɛ no no, na ɔno nso aka akyerɛ nnipa no

And when Moses went in before Jehovah to speak with him, he took the veil off, until he came out; and he came out, and spoke to the children of Israel what he was commanded.

35 a wɔhunu sɛ nʼanim ayɛ hyerɛn. Akyire no, ɔde nkatanimu no kata nʼanim bio kɔsi sɛ ɔbɛkɔ Onyankopɔn nkyɛn na ɔne no akɔkasa.

And the children of Israel saw the face of Moses, that the skin of Moses' face shone; and Moses put the veil on his face again, until he went in to speak with him.
