Exodus 30
1 'And thou hast made an altar [for] making perfume; [of] shittim wood thou dost make it;
“Fa okuo yɛ afɔrebukyia ketewa bi a wobɛhye aduhwam wɔ so.
2 a cubit its length, and a cubit its breadth, (it is square), and two cubits its height; its horns [are] of the same.
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 hast overlaid it with pure gold, its top, and its sides round about, and its horns; and thou hast made to it a crown 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 thou dost make to it under its crown; on its two ribs thou dost make [them], on its two sides, and they have become places for staves, to bear it with them.
Fa sikakɔkɔɔ nkawa mmienu bobɔ afɔrebukyia no afanu no nkyɛn mu ase na wɔde nnua a wɔde bɛsoa no awurawura mu.
5 'And thou hast made the staves of shittim wood, and hast overlaid them with gold;
Wɔmfa okuo na ɛnyɛ nnua no, na wɔmfa sikakɔkɔɔ nnura ho nyinaa.
6 and thou hast put it before the vail, which [is] by the ark of the testimony, before the mercy-seat which [is] over the testimony, whither I am met with 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 hath made perfume on it, perfume of spices, morning by morning; in his making the lamps right he doth perfume it,
“Ɛda biara anɔpa, sɛ Aaron resiesie kanea no a, ɔbɛhye aduhwam wɔ afɔrebukyia no so.
8 and in Aaron's causing the lamps to go up between the evenings, he doth perfume it; a continual perfume before Jehovah 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 do not cause strange perfume to go up upon it, and burnt-offering, and present, and libation ye do not pour out on it;
Monhye aduhwam a wɔama ho ɛkwan wɔ afɔrebukyia no so. Mommmɔ ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ ne aduane afɔdeɛ wɔ so, na mommfa ahwiesa ngu so.
10 and Aaron hath made atonement on its horns, once in a year, by the blood of the sin-offering of atonements; once in a year doth he make atonement for it, to your generations; it [is] most holy to Jehovah.'
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 And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,
Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose sɛ,
12 'When thou takest up the sum of the sons of Israel for their numbers, then they have given each an atonement [for] his soul to Jehovah in their being numbered, and there is no plague among them in their being 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 they do give, every one passing over unto those numbered, half a shekel, by the shekel of the sanctuary (the shekel [is] twenty gerahs); half a shekel [is] the heave-offering to Jehovah;
Ɛsɛ sɛ obiara a wɔkan no no ma dwetɛbena fa, a emu duru yɛ gram nsia (sɛdeɛ kronkronbea mu dwetɛbena boɔ teɛ no).
14 every one passing over unto those numbered, from a son of twenty years and upwards, doth give the heave-offering of Jehovah;
Obiara a wadi mfeɛ aduonu rekorɔ no na ɔbɛbɔ saa afɔdeɛ yi.
15 the rich doth not multiply, and the poor doth not diminish from the half-shekel, to give the heave-offering of Jehovah, to make atonement for 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 'And thou hast taken the atonement-money from the sons of Israel, and hast given it for the service of the tent of meeting; and it hath been to the sons of Israel for a memorial before Jehovah, to make atonement for 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 And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,
Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose sɛ.
18 'And thou hast made a laver of brass (and its base of brass), for washing; and thou hast put it between the tent of meeting and the altar, and hast put water there;
“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 and Aaron and his sons have washed at it their hands and their feet,
Ɛhɔ na Aaron ne ne mmammarima bɛhohoro wɔn nsa ne wɔn nan ho
20 in their going in unto the tent of meeting they wash [with] water, and die not; or in their drawing nigh unto the altar to minister, to perfume a fire-offering to Jehovah,
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 then they have washed their hands and their feet, and they die not, and it hath been to them a statute age-during, 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 And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,
Afei, Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose sɛ,
23 'And thou, take to thyself principal spices, wild honey five hundred [shekels]; and spice-cinnamon, the half of that, two hundred and fifty; and spice-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 olive oil a hin;
Kurobo dodoɔ a mobɛfa no nyɛ sɛ sinamon no dodoɔ na momfa ngo dua mu ngo lita ɛnan.
25 and thou hast made it a holy anointing oil, a compound mixture, work of a compounder; it is a holy anointing oil.
Awurade ahyɛ nnuhwamfrafoɔ a wɔaben yie, sɛ wɔmfra saa nnuhwam yi ma ɛnyɛ ngo kronkron a wɔde te onipa ho.
26 'And thou hast anointed with it 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 vessels, and the candlestick and its vessels, and the altar of perfume,
ne ɛpono ne ɛho nkyɛnsee ne ɔhyeɛ afɔrebukyia no ho.
28 and the altar of burnt-offering and all its vessels, and the laver and its base;
Saa ara nso na momfa nte afɔrebukyia no ne ɛho nneɛma ne atam ne deɛ ɛsi mu no ho.
29 and thou hast sanctified them, and they have been most holy; all that is coming against them is holy;
Monte ho na ɛnyɛ kronkron; biribiara a ɛbɛka saa nneɛma yi ho bɛte.
30 and Aaron and his sons thou dost anoint, and hast sanctified them for being priests to 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 thou dost speak, saying, A holy anointing oil is this to Me, to your generations;
Na monka nkyerɛ Israelfoɔ sɛ, ‘Yei ne me srango kronkron.
32 on flesh of man it is not poured, and with its proper proportion ye make none like it; it [is] holy; it is holy 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 a man who compoundeth [any] like it, or who putteth of it on a stranger — hath even been cut off from his people.'
Obiara a ɔbɛfra aduhwam a ɛte sɛ no anaa ɔbɛhwie bi agu obi a ɔnyɛ ɔsɔfoɔ so no, wɔbɛtwa no asuo.’”
34 And Jehovah saith unto Moses, 'Take to thee spices, stacte, and onycha, and galbanum, spices and pure frankincense; they are part for part;
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 hast made it a perfume, a compound, work of a compounder, 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 hast beaten [some] of it small, and hast put of it before the testimony, in the tent of meeting, whither I am met with thee; most holy it is 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 'As to the perfume which thou makest, with its proper proportion ye do not make to yourselves, holy it is to thee to Jehovah;
Monnyɛ bi mfa, ɛfiri sɛ, wɔakora ama Awurade enti, ɛsɛ sɛ mohunu sɛ ɛyɛ kronkron.
38 a man who maketh [any] like it — to be refreshed by it — hath even been cut off from his people.'
Obiara a ɔbɛyɛ bi afa no, wɔbɛtwa no asuo.”
