Exodus 30
1 And thou shalt make an altar, for burning incense, of acacia wood, shalt thou make it:
“Fa okuo yɛ afɔrebukyia ketewa bi a wobɛhye aduhwam wɔ so.
2 a cubit, the length thereof, and a cubit the breadth thereof four square, shall it be, —and two cubits, the height thereof, of the same, [shall be] the horns thereof,
Ma ɛnyɛ ahinanan a ne fa biara susu nsateakwaa dunwɔtwe, na ne ɔsorokɔ nso nyɛ anammɔn mmiɛnsa a wɔasene mmɛn a ɛfiri dua a wɔde yɛɛ afɔrebukyia no ara mu ama ɛtuatua ho. Ɛnsɛ sɛ ɛyɛ mmɛn a wɔsene firi baabi bɛtuatuaa ho.
3 And thou shalt overlay it with pure gold the top thereof, and the sides thereof round about, and the horns thereof, -and thou shalt make to it a border of gold round about.
Fa sikakɔkɔɔ kata ne soro, ne nkyɛn ne mmɛn a ɛwɔ afɔrebukyia no ho no nyinaa. Na fa sikakɔkɔɔ ntotoano twa afɔrebukyia no ho nyinaa hyia.
4 And, two rings of gold, shalt thou make to it, under the border thereof upon the two corners thereof, shalt thou make them on the two sides thereof, —so shall they become receptacles for the staves, to lift it therewith.
Fa sikakɔkɔɔ nkawa mmienu bobɔ afɔrebukyia no afanu no nkyɛn mu ase na wɔde nnua a wɔde bɛsoa no awurawura mu.
5 And thou shalt make the staves of acacia wood, —and overlay them with gold.
Wɔmfa okuo na ɛnyɛ nnua no, na wɔmfa sikakɔkɔɔ nnura ho nyinaa.
6 And thou shalt place it before the veil, which is by the ark of the testimony, —before the propitiatory which is upon the testimony, where I will meet thee.
Fa afɔrebukyia no si ntwamutam no akyi wɔ mpata beaeɛ hɔ a ɛbɔ faako a Apam Adaka a Mmaransɛm Edu no wɔ hɔ no ho ban. Mɛhyia mo hɔ.
7 And Aaron shall burn thereon fragrant incense, —morning by morning, when he trimmeth the lamps, shall he burn it;
“Ɛda biara anɔpa, sɛ Aaron resiesie kanea no a, ɔbɛhye aduhwam wɔ afɔrebukyia no so.
8 and, when Aaron lighteth the lamps, between the evenings, shall he burn it, —a continual incense before Yahweh, to your generations.
Anwummerɛ biara, sɛ ɔsɔ kanea no a, ɔbɛhye aduhwam wɔ Awurade anim. Yei bɛtoa so firi awoɔ ntoatoasoɔ so akɔsi awo ntoatoasoɔ so.
9 Ye shall not cause to ascend thereupon strange incense, nor an ascending-sacrifice, nor a meal-offering, —and a drink offering, shall ye not pour out thereupon.
Monhye aduhwam a wɔama ho ɛkwan wɔ afɔrebukyia no so. Mommmɔ ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ ne aduane afɔdeɛ wɔ so, na mommfa ahwiesa ngu so.
10 But Aaron shall put a propitiatory-covering upon the horns thereof, once in the year: of the blood of the sin-bearer for propitiatory-coverings, once in the year, shall he put a propitiatory-covering thereupon to your generations, most holy, it is to Yahweh.
Afe biara, ɛsɛ sɛ Aaron dwira afɔrebukyia no ho yɛ no kronkron. Ɔde mogya bɛsrasra mmɛn a ɛtuatua ho no so sɛ mpatadeɛ. Ɛsɛ sɛ afe biara wɔte afɔrebukyia no ho yɛ no kronkron firi awoɔ ntoatoasoɔ so kɔsi awo ntoatoasoɔ so, ɛfiri sɛ, ɛyɛ Awurade afɔrebukyia kronkron.”
11 Then spake Yahweh unto Moses, saying—
Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose sɛ,
12 When thou takest the sum of the sons of Israel, by their numberings, then shall they give every man a propitiatory-covering for his soul to Yahweh, when they are numbered, —that there may be among them no plague when they are numbered.
“Ɛberɛ biara a wobɛkan Israelfoɔ no, obiara a wɔbɛkan no no mfa ne mpatadeɛ mmrɛ Awurade mma ne kra, sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a, ɔyaredɔm biara remma wɔn mu bi so.
13 This, shall they give—every one that passeth over to them that have been numbered—a half-shekel by the shekel of the sanctuary, —the shekel is twenty gerahs—the half-shekel, shall be a heave-offering to Yahweh.
Ɛsɛ sɛ obiara a wɔkan no no ma dwetɛbena fa, a emu duru yɛ gram nsia (sɛdeɛ kronkronbea mu dwetɛbena boɔ teɛ no).
14 All who pass over to the numbered, from twenty years old and upwards, shall give the heave-offering of Yahweh.
Obiara a wadi mfeɛ aduonu rekorɔ no na ɔbɛbɔ saa afɔdeɛ yi.
15 The rich, shall not give more, and the poor, shall not give less, than the half-shekel, —when they give the heave-offering of Yahweh, to put a propitiatory-covering over your souls.
Ɛnsɛ sɛ adefoɔ ma ma ɛboro sika a wɔatwa ato hɔ no so. Ɛnsɛ sɛ ahiafoɔ nso ma deɛ ɛsua sene saa, ɛfiri sɛ, ɛyɛ Awurade afɔdeɛ a ɔde rete yɛn ho ama yɛn.
16 So then thou shalt take the silver for the propitiatory-coverings from the sons of Israel, and shalt expend it upon the service of the tent of meeting, —thus shall it be for the sons of Israel as a memorial before Yahweh, to put a propitiatory-covering over your souls.
Momfa saa sika yi nsiesie Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no. Sɛ moyɛ saa a, ɛbɛma Awurade ani aba mo, Israelfoɔ so, na ayɛ mpatadeɛ nso ama mo.”
17 Then spake Yahweh unto Moses, saying—
Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose sɛ.
18 And thou shalt make a laver of bronze, and its stand of bronze for bathing, —and thou shalt place it between the tent of meeting and the altar, and shalt put therein water.
“Fa kɔbere yɛ atam a ne nnyinasoɔ nso yɛ kɔbere. Fa si Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no ne afɔrebukyia no ntam na fa nsuo gu mu.
19 So shall Aaron and his sons bathe thereat, —their hands, and their feet.
Ɛhɔ na Aaron ne ne mmammarima bɛhohoro wɔn nsa ne wɔn nan ho
20 When they enter the tent of meeting, they shall bathe with water so shall they not die, —or when they approach unto the altar to minister, to burn as incense an altar-flame to Yahweh:
ɛberɛ a wɔrekɔ Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no mu de wɔn ho akɔkyerɛ Awurade, anaasɛ nso wɔrekɔ akɔbɔ afɔdeɛ wɔ afɔrebukyia no so ama Awurade no. Ɛberɛ biara a wɔrekɔdi saa dwuma yi no, ɛsɛ sɛ wɔhohoro wɔn ho; anyɛ saa a, wɔbɛwuwu.
21 so then they shall bathe their hands and their feet and shall not die, —and it shall be to them an age-abiding statute, to him and to his seed to their generations.
Yei ne mmara a wɔahyɛ ama Aaron ne ne mmammarima firi awo ntoatoasoɔ so kɔsi awo ntoatoasoɔ so no.”
22 Then spake Yahweh unto Moses, saying—
Afei, Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose sɛ,
23 Thou, therefore, take to thee—principal spices, —self-flowing myrrh, five hundred, and fragrant cinnamon, half as much, two hundred and fifty, and, fragrant cane, two hundred and fifty;
“Hwehwɛ nnuhwam papa sɛ kurobo, kilogram nsia, sinamon kilogram mmiɛnsa ne mmɛtire hwamhwam kilogram mmiɛnsa.
24 and, cassia, five hundred, by the shekel of the sanctuary, —and, oil olive, a hin.
Kurobo dodoɔ a mobɛfa no nyɛ sɛ sinamon no dodoɔ na momfa ngo dua mu ngo lita ɛnan.
25 And thou shalt make it an oil for holy anointing, a compounded perfume the work of a perfumer, —an oil for holy anointing, shall it be.
Awurade ahyɛ nnuhwamfrafoɔ a wɔaben yie, sɛ wɔmfra saa nnuhwam yi ma ɛnyɛ ngo kronkron a wɔde te onipa ho.
26 And thou shalt anoint therewith the tent of meeting, —and the ark of the testimony;
Awurade kaa sɛ, momfa yei nte Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan ne Apam Adaka,
27 and the table and all its utensils, and the lampstand, and its utensils, —and the incense altar,
ne ɛpono ne ɛho nkyɛnsee ne ɔhyeɛ afɔrebukyia no ho.
28 and the altar for the ascending-sacrifice, and all its utensils, -and the laver, and its stand.
Saa ara nso na momfa nte afɔrebukyia no ne ɛho nneɛma ne atam ne deɛ ɛsi mu no ho.
29 So shalt thou hallow them, and they shall be most holy, —whosoever toucheth them, shall be holy.
Monte ho na ɛnyɛ kronkron; biribiara a ɛbɛka saa nneɛma yi ho bɛte.
30 Aaron also, and his sons, shalt thou anoint, —so shalt thou hallow them to minister as priests unto me.
“Momfa nsra Aaron ne ne mmammarima ho sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a wɔn ho bɛte na wɔatumi ayɛ asɔfodwuma ama me.
31 And unto the sons of Israel, shalt thou speak, saying, An oil for holy anointing, shall this be to me, to your generations.
Na monka nkyerɛ Israelfoɔ sɛ, ‘Yei ne me srango kronkron.
32 Upon the flesh of a common man, shall it not be poured, and according to the proportions thereof, shall ye not make any like it, —holy, it is, holy, shall it be to you.
Ɛnsɛ sɛ wɔhwie gu obiara so kwa, na ɛnsɛ sɛ mo ara ankasa nso moyɛ bi, ɛfiri sɛ, ɛyɛ kronkron enti ɛsɛ sɛ mo nso moyɛ no kronkron.
33 Whosoever compoundeth any like it, and whosoever bestoweth thereof upon a stranger, shall be cut off from among his people.
Obiara a ɔbɛfra aduhwam a ɛte sɛ no anaa ɔbɛhwie bi agu obi a ɔnyɛ ɔsɔfoɔ so no, wɔbɛtwa no asuo.’”
34 Then said Yahweh unto Moses—Take to thee aromatic spices stacte and onycha, and galbanum, —aromatic spices, and pure frankincense, —weight for weight, shall it be.
Awurade hyɛɛ mmara a ɛfa aduhwam no ho maa Mose sɛ, “Fa nnuhwam aneneduro ne nworahwam ne prɛkɛsɛ hwamhwam ne ohwamfufuo gyenegyene na wɔnsusu ne nyinaa mu duru ma ɛnyɛ pɛ,
35 And thou shalt make of it an incense, a perfume the work of a perfumer, —salted, pure, holy.
na fa yɛ aduhwam a wɔhyeɛ a aduhwamfrani a waben yɛ no bi, na wɔmfa nkyene mfra mu; na ɛbɛyɛ aduhwam kronkron.
36 And thou shalt beat some of it to powder, and place thereof before the testimony, in the tent of meeting, where I am to meet with thee, —most holy, shall it be to you.
Monyam bi ma ɛnyɛ muhumuhu na momfa bi nsi Apam Adaka no anim baabi a mɛhyia mo wɔ Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no mu hɔ no. Saa aduhwam yi ne deɛ ɛyɛ kronkron koraa wɔ ne nyinaa mu.
37 And the incense which thou shalt make, according to the proportions thereof, ye shall not make for yourselves, —holy, shall it be to thee, to Yahweh.
Monnyɛ bi mfa, ɛfiri sɛ, wɔakora ama Awurade enti, ɛsɛ sɛ mohunu sɛ ɛyɛ kronkron.
38 Whosoever shall make like it, to smell of it shall be cut off from among his people.
Obiara a ɔbɛyɛ bi afa no, wɔbɛtwa no asuo.”
