Numbers 4
1 And Jehovah spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,
Afei Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose ne Aaron sɛ:
2 Take the sum of the sons of Kohath from among the sons of Levi, by their families, by their fathers' houses,
“Kan Kohatfoɔ no dodoɔ a wɔwɔ Lewifoɔ no abusua mu.
3 from thirty years old and upward even until fifty years old, all who enter upon the service, to do the work in the tent of meeting.
Saa nnipakan yi bɛyɛ mmarima nko ara a wɔadi firi mfeɛ aduasa kɔsi aduonum a wɔbɛtumi ayɛ adwuma wɔ Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan mu.
4 This is the service of the sons of Kohath in the tent of meeting, about the most holy things:
“Kohat mma no dwumadie ne sɛ wɔbɛhwɛ akronkronneɛ no so wɔ Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no mu.
5 When the camp sets forward, Aaron shall go in, and his sons, and they shall take down the veil of the screen, and cover the ark of the testimony with it.
Sɛ wɔretu afiri atenaeɛ hɔ a, Aaron ne ne mma mmarima na wɔbɛdi ɛkan akɔ Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no mu akɔfa nkatanimu no de akata adaka no ho.
6 And shall put on it a covering of certain skin, and shall spread over it a cloth all of blue, and shall put in the staves of it.
Afei, wɔde abirekyie nwoma bɛkata nkatanimu no ho na wɔde ntoma tuntum akata abirekyie nhoma no ho na wɔde nnua a wɔde soa adaka no ahyehyɛ ne nkawa no mu.
7 And upon the table of showbread they shall spread a cloth of blue, and put on it the dishes, and the spoons, and the bowls and the cups with which to pour out. And the continual bread shall be on it.
“Afei, wɔmfa ntoma tuntum nsɛ ɛpono a Hyiadan mu Burodo no da so no so, na wɔmfa nyowaa, ntere, dwaresɛn akɛseɛ, nkuruwa ne Burodo no ngu ntoma no so.
8 And they shall spread upon them a cloth of scarlet, and cover the same with a covering of certain skin, and shall put in the staves of it.
Wɔde ntoma kɔkɔɔ bɛkata so na wɔasane de abirekyie nhoma akata ntoma kɔkɔɔ no so. Na afei, wɔde nnua a wɔde bɛsoa no ahyehyɛ ɛpono no mu.
9 And they shall take a cloth of blue, and cover the lampstand of the light, and its lamps, and its snuffers, and its snuff dishes, and all the oil vessels of it, with which they minister to it.
“Afei, ɛsɛ sɛ wɔde ntoma tuntum kata kaneadua no, nkanea no, adaawa no, nkukuo apaawa no ne ngo toa no ho.
10 And they shall put it and all the vessels of it within a covering of certain skin, and shall put it upon the frame.
Saa nneɛma yi nyinaa nso, wɔde abirekyie nhoma bɛkata ho na wɔde nkyekyereeɛ yi nyinaa abɛgu ɛpono so.
11 And upon the golden altar they shall spread a cloth of blue, and cover it with a covering of certain skin, and shall put in the staves of it.
“Ɛsɛ sɛ wɔde ntoma tuntum kata sikakɔkɔɔ afɔrebukyia no so na wɔsane de abirekyie nhoma kata so bio na wɔde nnua a wɔde soa no hyehyɛ afɔrebukyia no mu.
12 And they shall take all the vessels of ministry, with which they minister in the sanctuary, and put them in a cloth of blue, and cover them with a covering of certain skin, and shall put them on the frame.
“Hyiadan no mu som no ho nneɛma a aka no nyinaa, ɛsɛ sɛ wɔde ntoma bibire kyekyere ho a wɔde abirekyie nhoma asane akyekyere ho na wɔde to mpata a wɔde soa no so.
13 And they shall take away the ashes from the altar, and spread a purple cloth on it.
“Ɛsɛ sɛ wɔtu nsõ no nyinaa firi afɔrebukyia no mu guo, na wɔde ntoma kɔkɔɔ bibire kyekyere ho.
14 And they shall put upon it all the vessels of it, with which they minister about it: the firepans, the flesh-hooks, and the shovels, and the basins, all the vessels of the altar. And they shall spread upon it a covering of certain skin, and put in the staves of it.
Ɛsɛ sɛ wɔde afɔrebukyia no ho ɔsom nneɛma nyinaa gu ntoma no so. Saa nneɛma no ne nkyɛnsee a wɔnoa mu, nsosɔmu, sofi, kyɛnsee kɛseɛ ne nneɛma a wɔkora mu nneɛma gu ntoma no so na wɔde abirekyie nhoma kata ne nyinaa so. Na afei, wɔde nnua a wɔde soa no gu faako a ɛsɛ sɛ wɔde guo.
15 And when Aaron and his sons have made an end of covering the sanctuary, and all the furniture of the sanctuary, as the camp is set forward, after that, the sons of Kohath shall come to bear it, but they shall not touch the sanctuary, lest they die. These things are the burden of the sons of Kohath in the tent of meeting.
“Sɛ Aaron ne ne mma mmarima no wie kronkronbea hɔ nneɛma no anoboa a, Kohat ne nʼabusuafoɔ bɛba abɛsoa akɔ baabiara a wɔretu nneɛma akɔ. Nanso wɔnni ho kwan sɛ wɔde wɔn nsa ka nneɛma a ɛho te no bi. Wɔyɛ saa a, wɔbɛwuwu. Kohat mma na ɛsɛ sɛ wɔsoa nneɛma a ɛwɔ Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no mu.
16 And the charge of Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest shall be the oil for the light, and the sweet incense, and the continual meal offering, and the anointing oil, the charge of all the tabernacle, and of all that is in it: the sanctuary, and the furniture of it.
“Aaron babarima Eleasa na ɔbɛhwɛ ngo a wɔde bɛsɔ kanea, nnuhwam, daa aduane a wɔde bɔ afɔdeɛ, ɔsra ngo ne Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no nyinaa so. Biribibiara a ɛwɔ Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no mu no nso, ɔbɛhwɛ so.”
17 And Jehovah spoke to Moses and to Aaron, saying,
Afei, Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose ne Aaron sɛ,
18 Cut ye not off the tribe of the families of the Kohathites from among the Levites,
“Monntwa Kohatfoɔ abusuakuo no mfiri Lewifoɔ mu.
19 but thus do to them, that they may live, and not die, when they approach to the most holy things. Aaron and his sons shall go in, and appoint for them each one to his service and to his burden,
Sɛ wɔresoa nneɛma a ɛho te no a, deɛ ɛsɛ sɛ wɔyɛ a wɔrenwuwu nie: Ɛsɛ sɛ Aaron ne ne mma mmarima no ne wɔn kɔ hɔ kɔkyerɛ wɔn adeɛ a ɛsɛ sɛ wɔn mu biara soa.
20 but they shall not go in to see the sanctuary even for a moment, lest they die.
Sɛ wɔanyɛ saa a, ɛnsɛ sɛ wɔkɔ kronkronbea hɔ koraa. Sɛ wɔyɛ saa a, wɔbɛhunu nneɛma a ɛho te no na ɛrenkyɛre koraa wɔawuwu.”
21 And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose sɛ,
22 Take the sum of the sons of Gershon also, by their fathers' houses, by their families,
“Kan Gerson asefoɔ a wɔfra Lewifoɔ abusua mu no,
23 from thirty years old and upward until fifty years old thou shall number them, all who enter in to wait upon the service, to do the work in the tent of meeting.
firi mmarima a wɔadi mfeɛ aduasa kɔsi aduonum a wɔbɛtumi ayɛ adwuma kronkron wɔ Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan mu hɔ so.
24 This is the service of the families of the Gershonites, in serving and in bearing burdens:
“Gerson mmusua no dwuma a wɔbɛdie nie:
25 They shall bear the curtains of the tabernacle, and the tent of meeting, its covering, and the covering of certain skin that is above upon it, and the screen for the door of the tent of meeting,
Wɔbɛsoa ntoma a ɛtwa Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan mu hɔ, Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no ankasa ne deɛ ɛkata ho, abirekyie nhoma nkurusoɔ ne ntoma a ɛsɛn Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no ano no.
26 and the hangings of the court, and the screen for the door of the gate of the court, which is by the tabernacle and by the altar round about, and their cords, and all the instruments of their service, and whatever shall be done with them; therein they shall serve.
Afei, wɔbɛsoa nkataho a ɛkata adihɔ hɔ ɔfasuo no ho no. Wɔbɛsoa ntoma a ɛtwa adihɔ hɔ ɛkwan no ano ne afɔrebukyia ne Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no ntam no. Wɔbɛsoa afɔrebukyia no, ntampehoma ne deɛ ɛkeka ho nyinaa. Wɔn na ɛsɛ sɛ wɔhwɛ, twe yeinom nyinaa.
27 At the commandment of Aaron and his sons shall be all the service of the sons of the Gershonites, in all their burden, and in all their service. And ye shall appoint to those in charge all their burden.
Aaron anaa ne mmammarima no bi tumi ma Gerson asefoɔ no bi dwuma di.
28 This is the service of the families of the sons of the Gershonites in the tent of meeting. And their charge shall be under the hand of Ithamar the son of Aaron the priest.
Nanso Gersonfoɔ no bɛhyɛ Aaron Itamar ase.
29 As for the sons of Merari, thou shall number them by their families, by their fathers' houses.
“Afei, kan Merari asefoɔ a wɔfra Lewifoɔ abusua mu no
30 From thirty years old and upward even to fifty years old thou shall number them, each man who enters upon the service, to do the work of the tent of meeting.
ɛfiri mmarima a wɔadi mfeɛ aduasa kɔsi aduonum so a wɔbɛtumi ayɛ adwuma wɔ Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan mu hɔ.
31 And this is the charge of their burden, according to all their service in the tent of meeting: the boards of the tabernacle, and the bars of it, and the pillars of it, and the sockets of it,
Sɛ wɔpagya Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no a, wɔn na ɛsɛ sɛ wɔsoa ne nnyinasoɔ, nnua a ɛsisi mu, ne nsisisoɔ
32 and the pillars of the court round about, and their sockets, and their pegs, and their cords, with all their instruments, and with all their service. And ye shall appoint the instruments of the charge of their burden by name.
mpunan a wɔde yɛɛ adihɔ hɔ afasuo no ne ne nsisisoɔ, mpɛɛwa, ntampehoma ne biribiara a wɔde di ho dwuma. Fa dwumadie ahodoɔ no hyɛ nnipa a wobɛbobɔ wɔn edin nsa.
33 This is the service of the families of the sons of Merari, according to all their service, in the tent of meeting, under the hand of Ithamar the son of Aaron the priest.
Merari asefoɔ no, Aaron babarima Itamar na ɔbɛhwɛ wɔn so.”
34 And Moses and Aaron and the rulers of the congregation numbered the sons of the Kohathites by their families, and by their fathers' houses,
Enti Mose ne Aaron ne mpanimfoɔ no bi kɔkan Kohatfoɔ
35 from thirty years old and upward even to fifty years old, each man who entered upon the service, for work in the tent of meeting.
a mmarima a wɔadi mfeɛ aduasa kɔsi aduonum nyinaa a wɔbɛtumi ayɛ Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan mu adwuma ka ho,
36 And those who were numbered of them by their families were two thousand seven hundred and fifty.
na wɔhunuu sɛ wɔn nyinaa dodoɔ yɛ mpem mmienu ne ahanson aduonum.
37 These are those who were numbered of the families of the Kohathites, all who served in the tent of meeting, whom Moses and Aaron numbered according to the commandment of Jehovah by Moses.
Wɔyɛɛ yeinom nyinaa de dii Awurade ahyɛdeɛ a ɔhyɛɛ Mose no so.

Wɔn nyinaa dodoɔ yɛɛ mpem mmienu ahansia ne aduasa.
41 These are those who were numbered of the families of the sons of Gershon, all who served in the tent of meeting, whom Moses and Aaron numbered according to the commandment of Jehovah.
Enti na Gersonfoɔ a wɔfata sɛ wɔsom wɔ Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no mu no nyinaa dodoɔ ne no. Mose ne Aaron na wɔkan wɔn sɛdeɛ Awurade hyɛɛ wɔn no.
42 And those who were numbered of the families of the sons of Merari, by their families, by their fathers' houses,
Merarifoɔ no nso, wɔkan wɔn mmusua ne wɔn mmusuakuo.
43 from thirty years old and upward even to fifty years old, each man who entered upon the service, for work in the tent of meeting,
Wɔkan wɔn mmarima a wɔadi mfeɛ aduasa kɔsi aduonum a wɔfata sɛ wɔyɛ adwuma wɔ Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no mu.

46 All those who were numbered of the Levites, whom Moses and Aaron and the rulers of Israel numbered, by their families, and by their fathers' houses,
Enti Mose ne Aaron ne Israel mpanimfoɔ nam Lewifoɔ no mmusua ne wɔn afie so kan wɔn nyinaa.
47 from thirty years old and upward even to fifty years old, each man who entered in to do the work of service, and the work of bearing burdens in the tent of meeting,
Mmarima a na wɔadi firi mfeɛ aduasa kɔsi mfeɛ aduonum no nyinaa a na wɔfata sɛ wɔyɛ adwuma wɔ Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no mu hɔ no ne wɔn a wɔbɛsoa akɔ no
48 even those who were numbered of them, were eight thousand and five hundred and eighty.
dodoɔ yɛ mpem aha nwɔtwe ahanum ne aduɔwɔtwe.
49 According to the commandment of Jehovah they were numbered by Moses, each man according to his service, and according to his burden. Thus they were numbered by him, as Jehovah commanded Moses.
Awurade hyɛ a ɔhyɛɛ Mose no enti na wɔnam so kanee nnipa no.
