Exodus 27

“Build an altar of acacia wood, three cubits^[a] high; it is to be square, five cubits long and five cubits wide.^[b]

Ade kyee no, asɔfo mpanyin ne Yudafo mpanyin kɔɔ agyina hwehwɛɛ ɔkwan a wɔbɛfa so ama Roma aban abu Yesu kumfɔ.

Make a horn at each of the four corners, so that the horns and the altar are of one piece, and overlay the altar with bronze.

Afei wɔde nkɔnsɔnkɔnsɔn guu Yesu, de no baa Pilato a ɔyɛ Roma amrado no anim.

Yuda ahonu

Make all its utensils of bronze—its pots to remove the ashes, and its shovels, sprinkling bowls, meat forks and firepans.

Saa bere no ara mu, Yuda a oyii Yesu mae no hui sɛ wɔabu Yesu kumfɔ no, onuu ne ho yiye. Enti ɔsan de sika a ogye fii asɔfo mpanyin ne Yudafo mpanyin no nkyɛn no brɛɛ wɔn kae se,

Make a grating for it, a bronze network, and make a bronze ring at each of the four corners of the network.

“Mayɛ bɔne, efisɛ, mayi onipa a ɔnyɛɛ bɔne biara ama.” Wɔn nso kae se, “Ɛmfa yɛn ho. Wo ara w’asɛm.”

Put it under the ledge of the altar so that it is halfway up the altar.

Ɔtow sika no guu asɔredan no mu fii hɔ kɔhyɛɛ hama.

Make poles of acacia wood for the altar and overlay them with bronze.

Asɔfo mpanyin no sesaw sika no kae se, “Yɛrentumi mfa saa sika yi mfra yɛn tow a yɛagye mu. Efisɛ, yɛn mmara mma ho kwan sɛ yebegye sika a wɔde abɔ awudi ho paa.”

The poles are to be inserted into the rings so they will be on two sides of the altar when it is carried.

Wodwinnwen ho sii no gyinae sɛ wɔde sika no bɛtɔ asase bi a wotu hɔ dɔte de nwene nkuku, na wɔde ɛhɔ ayɛ amusiei ama ahɔho a wobewu wɔ Yerusalem no.

Make the altar hollow, out of boards. It is to be made just as you were shown on the mountain.

The Courtyard

Enti na wɔda so frɛ saa asase no se, “Mogya asase” de besi nnɛ no.

“Make a courtyard for the tabernacle. The south side shall be a hundred cubits^[c] long and is to have curtains of finely twisted linen,

Eyi maa nea odiyifo Yeremia kae se, “Wogyee nnwetɛbona aduasa, bo a Israelfo sesee sɛ odi

with twenty posts and twenty bronze bases and with silver hooks and bands on the posts.

ɛnna wofi mu tɔɔ asase fii anwemfo nkyɛn sɛnea Awurade hyɛɛ me” no baa mu.

Yesu gyina Pilato anim

The north side shall also be a hundred cubits long and is to have curtains, with twenty posts and twenty bronze bases and with silver hooks and bands on the posts.

Afei wɔde Yesu begyinaa Pilato a ɔyɛ Roma Amrado no anim. Obisaa Yesu se, “Wone Yudafo Agyenkwa no anaa?”

Yesu buae se, “Yiw.”

“The west end of the courtyard shall be fifty cubits^[d] wide and have curtains, with ten posts and ten bases.

Nanso, bere a asɔfo mpanyin ne Yudafo mpanyin reka nsɛm gu Yesu so no, wankasa.

On the east end, toward the sunrise, the courtyard shall also be fifty cubits wide.

Pilato bisaa no se, “Wonte nea wɔreka no anaa?”

Curtains fifteen cubits^[e] long are to be on one side of the entrance, with three posts and three bases,

Nanso, Yesu anka hwee ma ɛyɛɛ amrado no nwonwa.

Wobu Yesu kumfɔ

and curtains fifteen cubits long are to be on the other side, with three posts and three bases.

Na ɛyɛ amrado no amanne sɛ afe biara, Twam Afahyɛ no mu, ogyaa odeduani baako a ɔman no pɛ sɛ wogyaa no.

“For the entrance to the courtyard, provide a curtain twenty cubits^[f] long, of blue, purple and scarlet yarn and finely twisted linen—the work of an embroiderer—with four posts and four bases.

Saa afe no mu, na onipa debɔneyɛfo bi a wɔfrɛ no Baraba nso da afiase.

All the posts around the courtyard are to have silver bands and hooks, and bronze bases.

Anɔpa no a nnipadɔm no hyiaa wɔ Pilato ahemfi anim hɔ no, Pilato bisaa wɔn se, “Hena na mopɛ sɛ migyaa no ma mo? Baraba, anaa Yesu, mo Agyenkwa no?”

The courtyard shall be a hundred cubits long and fifty cubits wide,^[g] with curtains of finely twisted linen five cubits^[h] high, and with bronze bases.

Na onim pefee sɛ Yudafo mpanyin no de ɔtan na akyere Yesu, efisɛ, na w’agye din.

All the other articles used in the service of the tabernacle, whatever their function, including all the tent pegs for it and those for the courtyard, are to be of bronze.

Oil for the Lampstand

Pilato gu so redi Yesu asɛm no, ne yere soma ma wɔbɛka kyerɛɛ no se, “Gyaa onipa trenee no na ɔnkɔ ne baabi, efisɛ, anadwo yi mesoo ne ho dae a ɛyɛ hu yiye maa me ho yeraw me.”

“Command the Israelites to bring you clear oil of pressed olives for the light so that the lamps may be kept burning.

Nanso asɔfo mpanyin ne Yudafo mpanyin kasa kyerɛɛ dɔm no se, wommisa na wonnyaa Baraba mma wɔn na wonkum Yesu.

In the tent of meeting, outside the curtain that shields the ark of the covenant law, Aaron and his sons are to keep the lamps burning before the Lord from evening till morning. This is to be a lasting ordinance among the Israelites for the generations to come.

Enti, bere a amrado no san bisaa wɔn bio se, “Nnipa baanu yi mu hena na mopɛ sɛ migyaa no ma mo?” no, dɔm no bɔ gyee so se, “Baraba!”

Pilato bisaa wɔn bio se, “Sɛ saa de a, ɛnne dɛn na menyɛ Yesu, mo Agyenkwa no?” Wɔn nyinaa bɔ gyee so bio se, “Bɔ no asennuam!”

Pilato bisaa wɔn se, “Adɛn nti? Bɔne bɛn na wayɛ?” Nanso, wɔkɔɔ so bɔ gyeee so ara se, “Bɔ no asennuam! Bɔ no asennuam!”

Afei Pilato hui sɛ ɔyɛ asɛm no ho hwee a ɛnyɛ ye na basabasayɛ reba no, ɔma wɔsaw nsu guu ade mu brɛɛ no, ma ɔhohoroo ne nsa wɔ dɔm no anim kae se, “Minni saa onipa trenee yi mogya ho fɔ. Nea ɛbɛba biara no yɛ mo asɛm!”

Nnipadɔm no san bɔ gyee so bio se, “Ne mogya mmegu yɛn ne yɛn mma tiri so.”

Afei, Pilato yii Baraba fii afiase hɔ de no maa wɔn. Ɔbɔɔ Yesu mmaa wiei no, ɔde no maa Roma asraafo no sɛ wɔmfa no nkɔ nkɔbɔ no asennuam.

Yesu ho fɛwdi

Asraafo no de Yesu kɔɔ amrado aban mu hɔ ɛnna wɔfrɛɛ asraafodɔm baa hɔ.

Woyii Yesu atade a na ɛhyɛ no no de batakari kɔkɔɔ bi hyɛɛ no,

Bere a wɔde no rekɔ faako a wɔbɔ asennuam hɔ no, wohyiaa ɔbarima bi a wɔfrɛɛ no Simon a ofi Kirene a ɛwɔ Abibirim. Wɔhyɛɛ no ma ɔsoaa Yesu asennua no bi.

Wɔbɔ Yesu asɛnnuam

Wɔde Yesu kɔɔ baabi a wɔfrɛ hɔ se Golgota a n’asekyerɛ ne “Nitiri So.”

Ɛhɔ na asraafo no maa no nsa nwenenwene bi sɛ ɔnnom. Yesu kaa n’ano no, wannom.

Afei wɔbɔɔ no asɛnnuam. Ɛno akyi, wɔbɔɔ n’atade no so ntonto kyekyɛ fae.

Afei, wɔn nyinaa tenatenaa ase, wɛn no.

Wɔkyerɛw nsɛm a wɔka guu ne so no bi fam n’atifi se, “Yesu, Yudafo Hene no ni.”

Da no ara anɔpa, wɔbɔɔ awudifo baanu bi asɛnnuam kaa Yesu ho. Na ɔbaako sɛn ne nifa so ɛnna ɔbaako nso sɛn ne benkum so.

Wodi Yesu a ɔsɛn hɔ no ho fɛw

Nnipa a wotwaam faa faako a wɔbɔɔ Yesu asɛnnuam hɔ no nyinaa wosow wɔn ti, dii Yesu ho fɛw se,

“Ɛnyɛ wo na wuse wubetumi abubu asɔredan na wode nnansa asi no? Sɛ wo na wuse woyɛ Onyankopɔn Ba ampa ara a, ɛnne sian fi asɛnnua no so si fam na yɛnhwɛ ɛ!”

Saa ara nso na asɔfo mpanyin ne Yudafo mpanyin bɛdii ne ho fɛw se,

“Ogye afoforo, nanso ontumi nnye ne ho! Sɛ wone Israelfo hene no ampa ara a, sian fi asɛnnua no so si fam na yennye wo nni.

Ɔde ne ho too Onyankopɔn so. Afei, ma Onyankopɔn nnye no! Wanka nso se, ‘Meyɛ Onyankopɔn Ba?’ “

Awudifo bi a wɔbɔɔ wɔne no asennuam no nso fitii ase dii ne ho fɛw.

Yesu wu

Bere a wɔbɔɔ Yesu asɛnnuam no, sum duruu asase so mmaa nyinaa fi owigyinae kɔpem nnɔn abiɛsa.

Ɛbɛyɛ nnɔn abiɛsa bere mu no, Yesu teɛɛm dennen se, “Eli, Eli, lama sabaktani?” Ase kyerɛ sɛ, “Me Nyankopɔn, me Nyankopɔn, adɛn nti na woagyaw me?”

Nanso, nnipa no nkae no kae se, “Gyaa no na yɛnhwɛ sɛ Elia bɛba abegye no anaa.”

Afei, Yesu teɛɛm dennen bio, gyaa ne honhom mu wui.
