Numbers 3
1 Now these are the generations of Aaron and Moses in the day that Jehovah spoke with Moses in mount Sinai:
Eyi ne nea ɛfa Aaron ne Mose mmusua ho bere a Awurade kasa kyerɛɛ Mose wɔ Sinai Bepɔw so no.
2 And these are the names of the sons of Aaron: Nadab the firstborn, and Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.
Aaron mmabarima din na edidi so yi: Nadab, nʼabakan, Abihu, Eleasar ne Itamar.
3 These are the names of the sons of Aaron, the priests who were anointed, whom he consecrated to minister in the priest's office.
Eyinom ne Aaron mma a wɔasra wɔn ngo na wɔayi wɔn asi hɔ sɛ asɔfo.
4 And Nadab and Abihu died before Jehovah when they offered strange fire before Jehovah in the wilderness of Sinai, and they had no sons. And Eleazar and Ithamar ministered in the priest's office in the presence of Aaron their father.
Nadab ne Abihu de, wowuwuu wɔ Awurade anim bere a wɔhyew afɔrebɔde wɔ ogya a ɛmfata so wɔ Sinai sare so no. Na wonni mma nti, Eleasar ne Itamar nko ara na wɔsom sɛ asɔfo, bere a wɔn agya Aaron te ase no.
5 And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose se:
6 Bring the tribe of Levi near, and set them before Aaron the priest, that they may minister to him.
“Frɛ Lewifo no, na fa wɔn ma ɔsɔfo Aaron sɛ nʼaboafo.
7 And they shall keep his charge, and the charge of the whole congregation before the tent of meeting, to do the service of the tabernacle.
Wɔbɛyɛ adwuma wɔ Ahyiae Ntamadan no mu ama ɔsɔfo Aaron ne nnipa no nyinaa.
8 And they shall keep all the furniture of the tent of meeting, and the charge of the sons of Israel, to do the service of the tabernacle.
Afei, wɔbɛhwɛ nneɛma a wɔde siesie Ahyiae Ntamadan mu no so de asi Israelfo no anan mu ayɛ asodi a wɔyɛ wɔ Ahyiae Ntamadan no mu.
9 And thou shall give the Levites to Aaron and to his sons. They are wholly given to him on the behalf of the sons of Israel.
Fa Lewifo no ma Aaron ne ne mmabarima; wɔn ne Israelfo a wɔde wɔn bɛma no korakora.
10 And thou shall appoint Aaron and his sons, and they shall keep their priesthood. And the stranger who comes near shall be put to death.
Ma Aaron ne ne mmabarima no nsom sɛ asɔfo; onipa foforo biara a ɔbɛbɛn kronkronbea hɔ no, ɛsɛ sɛ wokum no.”
11 And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose se,
12 And I, behold, I have taken the Levites from among the sons of Israel instead of all the firstborn who opens the womb among the sons of Israel. And the Levites shall be mine,
“Mayi Lewifo no afi Israelfo no mu de wɔn asi Israel babea biara abakan a ɔyɛ ɔbarima anan mu. Lewifo no yɛ me de,
13 for all the firstborn are mine. On the day that I smote all the firstborn in the land of Egypt I hallowed to me all the firstborn in Israel, both man and beast. They shall be mine. I am Jehovah.
efisɛ abakan biara wɔ me. Bere a mikunkum mmakan wɔ Misraim no, migyaw Israel mmakan, sɛ wɔyɛ nnipa anaa mmoa. Wɔyɛ me dea. Mene Awurade.”
14 And Jehovah spoke to Moses in the wilderness of Sinai, saying,
Afei, Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose wɔ Sinai sare so se,
15 Number the sons of Levi by their fathers' houses, by their families. Thou shall number them, every male from a month old and upward.
“Kan Lewifo no wɔ wɔn mmusua ne afi mu. Kan ɔbarima biara fi nea wadi ɔsram baako so.”
16 And Moses numbered them according to the word of Jehovah, as he was commanded.
Enti Mose kan wɔn sɛnea Awurade hyɛɛ no no.
17 And these were the sons of Levi by their names: Gershon, and Kohath, and Merari.

26 and the hangings of the court, and the screen for the door of the court, which is by the tabernacle, and by the altar round about, and the cords of it for all the service thereof.
Afei, na wɔhwɛ adiwo nkataano a etwa Ahyiae Ntamadan no ho ne afɔremuka ne adiwo nkataano nhoma ne ɛhɔ nneɛma a wɔde di dwuma ahorow no nyinaa so.

Na Kehat mmusua no mu mmarima a wɔadi ɔsram ne nea ɛboro saa no dodow yɛ mpem awotwe ne ahansia. Wɔn na na wɔhwɛ kronkronbea no so.
29 The families of the sons of Kohath shall encamp on the side of the tabernacle southward.
Wɔmaa wɔn atenae wɔ Ahyiae Ntamadan no anafo fam.
30 And the ruler of the fathers' house of the families of the Kohathites shall be Elizaphan the son of Uzziel.
Na Kohatfo ntuanoni no ne Usiel babarima Elisafan.
31 And their charge shall be the ark, and the table, and the lampstand, and the altars, and the vessels of the sanctuary with which they minister, and the screen, and all the service thereof.
Saa mmusua anan yi na na wɔhwɛ apam adaka, ɔpon, kaneadua, afɔremuka ahorow, ne nea ɛkeka ho a na wɔde di dwuma wɔ kronkronbea hɔ, mfimfini ntwamtam ne nneɛma a wɔde di dwuma ahorow wɔ hɔ nyinaa no so.
32 And Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest shall be ruler of the rulers of the Levites, with the oversight of those who keep the charge of the sanctuary.

36 And the appointed charge of the sons of Merari shall be the boards of the tabernacle, and the bars of it, and the pillars of it, and the sockets of it, and all the instruments of it, and all the service thereof,

38 And those who encamp before the tabernacle eastward, before the tent of meeting toward the sunrise, shall be Moses, and Aaron and his sons, keeping the charge of the sanctuary for the charge of the sons of Israel. And the stranger that comes near shall be put to death.
Ahyiae Ntamadan no apuei fam, nea owia pue fi no, wogyaw maa Mose ne Aaron ne ne mmabarima sɛ wonsisi wɔn ntamadan wɔ hɔ. Saa nnipa yi na na wosi Israelfo no anan mu di Ahyiae Ntamadan no ho dwuma nyinaa. Obi foforo biara a ɔbɛbɛn kronkronbea hɔ no, ɛsɛ sɛ wokum no.
39 All who were numbered of the Levites, whom Moses and Aaron numbered at the commandment of Jehovah, by their families, all the males from a month old and upward, were twenty-two thousand.
Lewifo a Awurade hyɛɛ Mose ne Aaron sɛ wɔnkan wɔn sɛnea wɔn mmusua te a ɔbarima biara a wɔadi ɔsram ne nea ɛboro saa ka ho no dodow yɛ mpem aduonu abien.
40 And Jehovah said to Moses, Number all the firstborn males of the sons of Israel from a month old and upward, and take the number of their names.
Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose se, “Kan Israelfo mmakan a wɔyɛ mmarima na wɔadi ɔsram ne nea ɛboro saa no, na kyerɛw wɔn din.
41 And thou shall take the Levites for me (I am Jehovah) instead of all the firstborn among the sons of Israel, and the cattle of the Levites instead of all the firstlings among the cattle of the sons of Israel.
Lewifo no bɛyɛ me de. Ma wonsi Israelfo mmakan nyinaa anan mu, na Lewifo nyɛmmoa mmakan nsi Israelfo nyɛmmoa mmakan anan mu. Mene Awurade.”
42 And Moses numbered, as Jehovah commanded him, all the firstborn among the sons of Israel.
Enti Mose kan Israelfo mmakan nyinaa sɛnea Awurade hyɛɛ no no.
43 And all the firstborn males according to the number of names, from a month old and upward, of those who were numbered of them, were twenty-two thousand two hundred and seventy-three.
Mmakan mmarima a wɔadi ɔsram ne nea ɛboro saa no a ɔkyerɛw wɔn din no ano si mpem aduonu abien ahannu ne aduɔson abiɛsa.
44 And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
Afei, Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose se,
45 Take the Levites instead of all the firstborn among the sons of Israel, and the cattle of the Levites instead of their cattle. And the Levites shall be mine. I am Jehovah.
“Ma Lewifo nsi Israelfo mmakan anan mu. Na Lewifo nyɛmmoa mmakan nso nsi Israelfo nyɛmmoa mmakan anan mu. Lewifo yɛ me dea. Mene Awurade.
46 And for the redemption of the two hundred and seventy-three of the firstborn of the sons of Israel, who are over and above the number of the Levites,
Ansa na mubegye Israelfo mmakan ahannu aduɔson abiɛsa no a wɔboro Lewifo no dodow so no,
47 thou shall take five shekels apiece by the poll. According to the shekel of the sanctuary thou shall take them (the shekel is twenty gerahs),
momma wontua ti ade, sɛnea hyiadan mu nnwetɛbona te, a emu duru yɛ gram aduonum nson.
48 and thou shall give the money, with which the odd number of them is redeemed, to Aaron and to his sons.
Fa ti ade sika no ma Aaron ne ne mma.”
49 And Moses took the redemption-money from those who were over and above those who were redeemed by the Levites.
Enti Mose gyigyee Israelfo ahannu aduɔson abiɛsa a na wɔboro Lewifo no dodow so no ti ade.
50 He took the money from the firstborn of the sons of Israel, a thousand three hundred and sixty-five shekels, according to the shekel of the sanctuary.
Sika a wogyigyee no nyinaa ano sii dwetɛ kilogram dunum ne fa.
51 And Moses gave the redemption-money to Aaron and to his sons, according to the word of Jehovah, as Jehovah commanded Moses.
Na Mose de maa Aaron ne ne mmabarima sɛnea Awurade hyɛɛ no no.
