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.
Yahweh said to Moses, “Chisel two stone tablets like the first. I will write on the tablets the words that were on the first tablets, which you broke.
2 Siesie wo ho na bra Sinai Bepɔ so anɔpa na fa wo ho bɛkyerɛ me.
Be ready by the morning, and come up in the morning to Mount Sinai, and present yourself there to 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.”
No one shall come up with you or be seen anywhere on the mountain. Do not let the flocks or herds graze 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.
He chiseled two tablets of stone like the first; then Moses rose up early in the morning, and went up to Mount Sinai, as Yahweh had commanded him, and took in his hand two stone tablets.
5 Awurade siane baa sɛ omununkum fadum bɛgyinaa Mose ho bɔɔ ne din kronkron Awurade no.
Yahweh descended in the cloud, and stood with him there, and proclaimed Yahweh’s name.
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;
Yahweh passed by before him, and proclaimed, “Yahweh! Yahweh, a merciful and gracious God, slow to anger, and abundant in loving kindness 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 loving kindness for thousands, forgiving iniquity and disobedience and sin; and who will by no means clear the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children, and on the children’s children, on the third and on the fourth generation.”
8 Mose kotoo Awurade somm no.
Moses hurried and bowed his head toward the earth, and worshiped.
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.”
He said, “If now I have found favor in your sight, Lord, please let the Lord go among us, even though this is a stiff-necked people; pardon our iniquity and our sin, and take us for your 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.
He said, “Behold, I make a covenant: before all your people I will do marvels, such as have not been worked in all the earth, nor in any nation; and all the people among whom you are shall see the work of Yahweh; for it is an awesome thing that I do with you.
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 that which I command you today. Behold, I will drive out before you the Amorite, the Canaanite, the Hittite, the Perizzite, 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.
Be careful, lest you make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land where you are going, lest it be for a snare among you;
13 Bubu wɔn abosonsom afɔrebukyia no. Sɛe wɔn aboɔ adum no na montutu wɔn abosom no ngu.
but you shall break down their altars, and dash in pieces their pillars, and you shall cut down their Asherah poles;
14 Na monnsom onyame foforɔ biara nka Awurade ho, na ɔno nko ara ne Onyankopɔn a ɛsɛ sɛ mosom no.
for you shall worship no other god; for Yahweh, whose name is Jealous, 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.
“Don’t make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land, lest they play the prostitute after their gods, and sacrifice to their gods, and one call you and you eat of his sacrifice;
16 Afei, ɛyɛ saa a, mobɛgye wɔn mmammaa aware ama mo mmammarima no akɔsom wɔn yerenom no anyame bi de atia me.
and you take of their daughters to your sons, and their daughters play the prostitute after their gods, and make your sons play the prostitute after their gods.
17 “Monnsom ahoni biara.
“You shall make no cast idols for yourselves.
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.
“You shall keep the feast of unleavened bread. Seven days you shall eat unleavened bread, as I commanded you, at the time appointed in the month Abib; for in the month Abib you came out of Egypt.
19 “Abakan biara yɛ me dea, sɛ ɛyɛ nantwie, odwan anaa abirekyie.
“All that opens the womb is mine; and all your livestock that is male, the firstborn of cow 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.
You shall redeem the firstborn of a donkey with a lamb. If you will not redeem it, then you shall break its neck. You shall redeem all the firstborn of your sons. No one 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 you shall work, but on the seventh day you shall rest: in plowing time and in harvest you shall 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.
“You shall observe the feast of weeks with the first fruits of wheat harvest, and the feast of harvest at the year’s end.
23 Saa afahyɛ mmiɛnsa yi mu biara duru so a, ɛsɛ sɛ Israelfoɔ mmarima ne mmarimaa nyinaa ba Awurade wo Onyankopɔn anim.
Three times in the year all your males shall appear before the Lord Yahweh, 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 drive out nations before you and enlarge your borders; neither shall any man desire your land when you go up to appear before Yahweh, your God, three times 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.
“You shall not offer the blood of my sacrifice with leavened bread. The sacrifice of the feast of the Passover shall not be left to 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.”
“You shall bring the first of the first fruits of your ground to the house of Yahweh your God. “You shall not boil a young goat 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.”
Yahweh said to Moses, “Write these words; for in accordance with these words I have made a covenant with you 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.
He was there with Yahweh forty days and forty nights; he neither ate bread, nor drank water. He wrote on the tablets the words of the covenant, the ten commandments.
29 Ɛberɛ a Mose de twerɛ apono no fi Onyankopɔn nkyɛn resiane bepɔ no, na ɔnnim sɛ nʼanim rehyerɛn.
When Moses came down from Mount Sinai with the two tablets of the covenant in Moses’ hand, when he came down from the mountain, Moses didn’t know that the skin of his face shone by reason of his speaking with him.
30 Esiane nʼanim hyerɛn a na ɛhyerɛn no enti, Aaron ne Israelfoɔ no hunuu Mose no, wɔsuroeɛ sɛ wɔbɛbɛn no.
When Aaron and all the children of Israel saw Moses, 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.
Moses called to them, and Aaron and all the rulers of the congregation returned to him; and Moses spoke to 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.
Afterward all the children of Israel came near, and he gave them all the commandments that Yahweh had spoken with him on Mount Sinai.
33 Mose ne wɔn kasa wieeɛ no, ɔde nkatanimu kataa nʼanim,
When Moses was done speaking with them, he put a veil on his face.
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
But when Moses went in before Yahweh to speak with him, he took the veil off, until he came out; and he came out, and spoke to the children of Israel that which 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.
The children of Israel saw Moses’ face, that the skin of Moses’ face shone; so Moses put the veil on his face again, until he went in to speak with him.
