< Nehemiah 11 >
1 Now the leaders of the people settled in Jerusalem, and the rest of the people cast lots to bring one out of ten to live in the holy city of Jerusalem, while the remaining nine were to dwell in their own towns.
Afei, ɔmanfo no ntuanofo kɔtenaa Yerusalem, kuropɔn kronkron no mu. Wɔbɔɔ ntonto kronkron wɔ nnipa no a na wɔtete Yuda ne Benyamin nkurow bi no so, yii mu nkyɛmu du mu baako ma wɔn nso kɔtenaa hɔ. Na nkae no de, wɔtenaa nea wɔte hɔ ara.
2 And the people blessed all the men who volunteered to live in Jerusalem.
Na ɔmanfo no kamfoo obiara a ofi ne pɛ mu san kɔtenaa Yerusalem no.
3 These are the heads of the provinces who settled in Jerusalem. (In the villages of Judah, however, each lived on his own property in their towns—the Israelites, priests, Levites, temple servants, and descendants of Solomon’s servants—
Amantam mu mpanyimfo a wɔbaa Yerusalem no din na wɔakyerɛw wɔ ha yi. Ɔmanfo no mu fa kɛse a wɔyɛ asɔfo, Lewifo, Asɔredan mu asomfo ne Salomo asomfo asefo no kɔɔ so tenaa wɔn ankasa afi mu wɔ Yuda nkurow ahorow so,

18 The Levites in the holy city totaled 284.
Na Lewifo a wɔwɔ kuropɔn kronkron no mu no nyinaa dodow si ahannu aduɔwɔtwe anan.
19 And the gatekeepers: Akkub, Talmon, and their associates, who kept watch at the gates—172 men.

20 The rest of the Israelites, with the priests and Levites, were in all the villages of Judah, each on his own inheritance.
Asɔfo a wɔaka no, Lewifo ne Israelfo nkae no tenatenaa Yudaman mu baabiara a wɔn agyapade wɔ.
21 The temple servants lived on the hill of Ophel, with Ziha and Gishpa over them.
Nanso Asɔredan mu asomfo no a na Siha ne Gispa da wɔn ano no de, wɔn nyinaa kɔtenaa Ofel koko so.
22 Now the overseer of the Levites in Jerusalem was Uzzi son of Bani, the son of Hashabiah, the son of Mattaniah, the son of Mica. He was one of Asaph’s descendants, who were the singers in charge of the service of the house of God.
Na ɔpanyin pa ara a otua Lewifo a wɔwɔ Yerusalem ano no ne Bani babarima Usi, Hasabia babarima, Matania babarima, Mika babarima a ɔyɛ Asaf aseni, na nʼabusuafo som sɛ nnwontofo wɔ Onyankopɔn asɔredan mu no.
23 For there was a command from the king concerning the singers, an ordinance regulating their daily activities.
Na wɔhyɛ ɔhene mmara a ɛkyerɛ nea ɛsɛ sɛ wɔyɛ da biara no ase.
24 Pethahiah son of Meshezabel, a descendant of Zerah son of Judah, was the king’s agent in every matter concerning the people.
Mesesabel babarima Petahia a ɔyɛ Yuda babarima Serah aseni no yɛ ɔhene ananmusini wɔ ɔman no amammui mu.
25 As for the villages with their fields, some of the people of Judah lived in Kiriath-arba, Dibon, Jekabzeel, and their villages;
Yudafo no bi tenaa Kiriat-Arba ne ne nkuraa, Dibon ne ne nkuraa ne Yekabseel ne ne nkuraa.
26 in Jeshua, Moladah, and Beth-pelet;
Wɔtenatenaa Yesua, Molada, Bet-Pelet,
