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, saa ɛberɛ yi, na ɔmanfoɔ no ntuanofoɔ tete Yerusalem, kuropɔn kronkron no mu. Wɔbɔɔ ntonto kronkron wɔ nnipa no a na wɔtete Yuda ne Benyamin nkuro bi no so, yii mu nkyɛmu edu mu baako, ma wɔn nso kɔtenaa hɔ. Na nkaeɛ no deɛ, wɔtenaa deɛ wɔte hɔ ara.
2 And the people blessed all the men who volunteered to live in Jerusalem.
Na ɔmanfoɔ no kamfoo obiara a ɔfiri ne pɛ mu sane 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 mpanimfoɔ a wɔbaa Yerusalem no din na wɔatwerɛ wɔ ha yi. Ɔmanfoɔ no mu fa kɛseɛ a wɔyɛ asɔfoɔ, Lewifoɔ, Asɔredan mu asomfoɔ ne Salomo asomfoɔ asefoɔ no kɔɔ so tenaa wɔn ankasa afie mu wɔ Yuda nkuro ahodoɔ so,

18 The Levites in the holy city totaled 284.
Ne nyinaa mu, na Lewifoɔ ahanu aduɔwɔtwe ɛnan na na wɔwɔ kuropɔn kronkron no mu.
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.
Asɔfoɔ a aka no, Lewifoɔ ne Israelfoɔ nkaeɛ no tenatenaa Yudaman mu baabiara a wɔn agyapadeɛ wɔ.
21 The temple servants lived on the hill of Ophel, with Ziha and Gishpa over them.
Nanso, Asɔredan mu asomfoɔ no a na wɔn ntuanofoɔ yɛ Siha ne Gispa no deɛ, wɔn nyinaa kɔtenaa Ofel kokoɔ 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 ɔpanin pa ara a ɔtua Lewifoɔ a wɔwɔ Yerusalem ano no ne Bani babarima Usi, Hasabia babarima, Matania babarima, Mika babarima a ɔyɛ Asaf aseni, a na nʼabusuafoɔ somm sɛ nnwomtofoɔ 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 deɛ 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 amammuo mu.
25 As for the villages with their fields, some of the people of Judah lived in Kiriath-arba, Dibon, Jekabzeel, and their villages;
Yudafoɔ no bi tenaa Kiriat-Arba ne ne nkuraaseɛ, Dibon ne ne nkuraaseɛ ne Yekabseel ne ne nkuraaseɛ.
26 in Jeshua, Moladah, and Beth-pelet;
Wɔtenatenaa Yesua, Molada, Bet-Pelet,
