1 Chronicles 26
1 These were the divisions of the gatekeepers: From the Korahites: Meshelemiah son of Kore, one of the sons of Asaph.
Yeinom ne apono ano ahwɛfoɔ no akuakuo: Korafoɔ mu no: yɛwɔ Kore babarima Meselemia a ɔfiri Asaf abusua mu.
2 Meshelemiah had sons: Zechariah the firstborn, Jediael the second, Zebadiah the third, Jathniel the fourth,
Meselemia mmammarima yɛ: Sakaria a ɔyɛ abakan, Yediael a ɔtɔ so mmienu, Sebadia a ɔtɔ so mmiɛnsa, Yatniel a ɔtɔ so ɛnan.
3 Elam the fifth, Jehohanan the sixth, and Eliehoenai the seventh.
Elam a ɔtɔ so enum, Yehohanan a ɔtɔ so nsia, ne Eliehoenai a ɔtɔ so nson.
4 And Obed-edom also had sons: Shemaiah the firstborn, Jehozabad the second, Joah the third, Sachar the fourth, Nethanel the fifth,
Na Obed-Edom mmammarima nso a wɔyɛ apono ano ahwɛfoɔ yɛ: Semaia a ɔyɛ abakan, Yehosabad a ɔtɔ so mmienu, Yoa a ɔtɔ so mmiɛnsa, Sakar a ɔtɔ so ɛnan, Netanel a ɔtɔ so enum,
5 Ammiel the sixth, Issachar the seventh, and Peullethai the eighth. For God had blessed Obed-edom.
Amiel a ɔtɔ so nsia, Isakar a ɔtɔ so nson, ne Peuletai a ɔtɔ so nwɔtwe. Onyankopɔn hyiraa Obed-Edom bebree.
6 Also to his son Shemaiah were born sons who ruled over their families because they were strong, capable men.
Na Obed-Edom babarima Semaia wɔ mmammarima a wɔtumi adeɛ yɛ yie enti, wɔnyaa dibea a ɛkura tumi wɔ abusua no mu.
7 Shemaiah’s sons were Othni, Rephael, Obed, and Elzabad; his brothers were Elihu and Semachiah, also capable men.
Na wɔn edin ne: Otni, Refael, Obed ne Elsabad; na wɔn abusuafoɔ Elihu ne Semakia nso yɛ mmɔdemmɔfoɔ.
8 All these were descendants of Obed-edom; they and their sons and brothers were capable men with strength to do the work—62 in all from Obed-edom.
Obed-Edom asefoɔ yi nyinaa a wɔn mmammarima ne wɔn nananom a na wɔn nyinaa dodoɔ yɛ aduosia mmienu no yɛ nnipa a, na wɔbɔ wɔn ho mmɔden yie na wɔfata wɔn nnwuma.
9 Meshelemiah also had sons and brothers who were capable men—18 in all.
Saa ara nso na na Meselemia mmammarima dunwɔtwe no ne wɔn abusuafoɔ nso bɔ wɔn ho mmɔden yie.
10 Hosah the Merarite also had sons: Shimri the first (although he was not the firstborn, his father had appointed him as the first),
Hosa a ɔfiri Merari abusua mu yii Simri a na ɔnyɛ abakan no sɛ ntuanoni, wɔ ne mmammarima mu.
11 Hilkiah the second, Tebaliah the third, and Zechariah the fourth. The sons and brothers of Hosah numbered 13 in all.
Na ne mmammarima no bi ne: Hilkia a ɔtɔ so mmienu, Tebalia a ɔtɔ so mmiɛnsa ne Sakaria tɔ so ɛnan. Na Hosa mmammarima ne nʼabusuafoɔ a wɔsom sɛ apono ano ahwɛfoɔ no nyinaa dodoɔ yɛ dumiɛnsa.
12 These divisions of the gatekeepers, through their chief men, had duties for ministering in the house of the LORD, just as their brothers did.
Saa apono ano ahwɛfoɔ akuo yi nam wɔn mmusua ntuanofoɔ so somm wɔ Awurade fie, sɛdeɛ wɔn abusuafoɔ yɛeɛ no.
13 They cast lots for each gate, according to their families, young and old alike.
Wɔnam ntontobɔ kronkron so, de ɔwɛn adwuma wɔ apono ahodoɔ ano hyɛɛ mmusua no nsa a wɔnhwɛ mfirinhyia a obi adi, anaa nteteeɛ a wanya soɔ.
14 The lot for the East Gate fell to Shelemiah. Then lots were cast for his son Zechariah, a wise counselor, and the lot for the North Gate fell to him.
Wɔde apueeɛ ɛpono ho dwumadie no hyɛɛ Selemia ne ne ekuo nsa. Atifi ɛpono ho dwumadie nso, wɔde hyɛɛ ne babarima onyansafoɔ Sakaria nsa.
15 The lot for the South Gate fell to Obed-edom, and the lot for the storehouses to his sons.
Anafoɔ ɛpono no, wɔde hyɛɛ Obed-Edom nsa, na wɔmaa ne mmammarima no hwɛɛ adekoradan no so.
16 The lots for the West Gate and the Shallecheth Gate on the ascending highway fell to Shuppim and Hosah. There were guards stationed at every watch.
Wɔmaa Supim ne Hosa hwɛɛ atɔeɛ ɛpono no ne ɛkwan a ɛkɔ asɔredan no mu no so. Wɔkyekyɛɛ ɔwɛn nnwuma no pɛpɛɛpɛ maa wɔn.
17 Each day there were six Levites on the east, four on the north, four on the south, and two pairs at the storehouse.
Ɛda biara, na wɔma Lewifoɔ baasia kɔ apueeɛ ɛpono no ho, baanan kɔ atifi ɛpono no ho, baanan nso akɔ anafoɔ ɛpono no ho, na baanu baanu akokɔ adekoradan ahodoɔ no biara ho.
18 As for the court on the west, there were four at the highway and two at the court.
Ɛda biara, na wɔma baasia kɔ atɔeɛ ɛpono no ho. Baanan kɔ ɛkwan a ɛkɔ asɔredan no mu no so, na baanu nso akɔ adihɔ hɔ.
19 These were the divisions of the gatekeepers who were descendants of Korah and Merari.
Yeinom ne apono ano ahwɛfoɔ a wɔfiri Kora ne Merari mmusua mu no nkyekyɛmu.
20 Now their fellow Levites were in charge of the treasuries of the house of God and the treasuries of the dedicated things.
Lewifoɔ a wɔaka a na Ahiya da wɔn ano no na na wɔhwɛ Onyankopɔn fie sikakorabea ne adekoradan so.
21 From the descendants of Ladan, who were Gershonites through Ladan and heads of the families of Ladan the Gershonite, were Jehieli,
Libni fie a na ɛwɔ Gerson abusua mu no, na Yehieli na na ɔtua wɔn ano.
22 the sons of Jehieli, Zetham, and his brother Joel. They were in charge of the treasuries of the house of the LORD.
Yehieli mmammarima Setam ne ne nuabarima Yoɛl na na wɔhwɛ Awurade fie sikakorabea so.
23 From the Amramites, the Izharites, the Hebronites, and the Uzzielites:
Yeinom ne ntuanofoɔ a wɔyɛ Amram, Yishar, Hebron ne Usiel asefoɔ.
24 Shebuel, a descendant of Gershom son of Moses, was the officer in charge of the treasuries.
Amram abusua mu, Sebuel yɛ Mose babarima Gersom aseni. Ɔno na na ɔyɛ ɔpanin a ɔhwɛ sikakorabea no so.
25 His relatives through Eliezer included Rehabiah his son, Jeshaiah his son, Joram his son, Zichri his son, and Shelomith his son.
Wɔn a wɔnam Elieser so yɛ nʼabusuafoɔ ne Rehabia, Yesaia, Yoram, Sikri ne Selomot.
26 This Shelomith and his brothers were in charge of all the treasuries for the things dedicated by King David, by the heads of families who were the commanders of thousands and of hundreds, and by the army commanders.
Selomot ne nʼabusuafoɔ na na wɔhwɛ sikakorabea a na wɔkora agyapadeɛ a wɔde ama Awurade no so. Agyapadeɛ no bi ne deɛ Dawid ne mmusua ntuanofoɔ ne asahene ne asraafoɔ mpanimfoɔ de maa Awurade no.
27 They had dedicated some of the plunder from their battles to the repair of the house of the LORD.
Na saa mmarima yi de wɔn asadeɛ a wɔnyaa no akodie mu no bi baeɛ sɛ wɔmfa nsiesie Awurade fie.
28 Everything that had been dedicated by Samuel the seer, Saul son of Kish, Abner son of Ner, and Joab son of Zeruiah, along with everything else that was dedicated, was under the care of Shelomith and his brothers.
Afei, na Selomot ne nʼabusuafoɔ na wɔhwɛ nneɛma a Samuel a ɔyɛ nkɔmhyɛni, Kis babarima Saulo, Ner babarima Abner ne Seruia babarima Yoab de maa Awurade no so. Nneɛma nkaeɛ a wɔde maa Awurade no nyinaa, na ɛhyɛ wɔn nsa.
29 From the Izrahites, Chenaniah and his sons had the outside duties as officers and judges over Israel.
Yishar abusua mu na Kenania firi. Ɔne ne mmammarima na wɔyii wɔn sɛ ɔman sohwɛfoɔ ne atemmufoɔ wɔ Israelman mu nyinaa.
30 From the Hebronites, Hashabiah and his relatives, 1,700 capable men, had charge of the affairs of Israel west of the Jordan for all the work of the LORD and for the service of the king.
Hebron abusua mu na Hasabia firi. Ɔne nʼabusuafoɔ a wɔyɛ mmɔdemmɔfoɔ a wɔn dodoɔ yɛ apem ahanson na wɔma wɔhwɛɛ Israel nsase a ɛdeda Asubɔnten Yordan atɔeɛ fam no so. Nsɛm a ɛfa Awurade ho, ne ɔhene a ɔwɔ mpasua no so som ho nyinaa yɛ wɔn asɛdeɛ.
31 As for the Hebronites, Jerijah was the chief of the Hebronites, according to the genealogies of his ancestors. In the fortieth year of David’s reign the records were searched, and strong, capable men were found among the Hebronites at Jazer in Gilead.
Bio, Hebron abusua mu na Yeria firi. Sɛdeɛ awoɔ ntoatoasoɔ nkrataa kyerɛ no, ɔno na na ɔyɛ Hebronfoɔ no ntuanoni. (Dawid dii ɔhene no, ne mfeɛ aduanan so, wɔhwehwɛɛ nkrataa mu na wɔhunuu mmarima a wɔbɔ wɔn ho mmɔden wɔ Hebron abusua no mu din wɔ kuro Yaser a ɛwɔ Gilead mu.
32 Among Jerijah’s relatives there were 2,700 capable men who were heads of families. King David appointed them over the Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh for every matter pertaining to God and to the affairs of the king.
Na mmarima a wɔbɔ wɔn ho mmɔden mpem mmienu ne ahanson na na wɔwɔ Yeria abusua mu. Ɔhene Dawid ma wɔkɔɔ Asubɔnten Yordan apueeɛ fam, ma wɔkɔhwɛɛ Ruben ne Gad mmusuakuo ne Manase abusuakuo fa no so. Nsɛm a ɛfa Onyankopɔn ho, ne ɔhene som ho nyinaa yɛ wɔn asɛdeɛ.)
