Numbers 1
1 On the first day of the second month of the second year after the Israelites had come out of the land of Egypt, the LORD spoke to Moses in the Tent of Meeting in the Wilderness of Sinai. He said:
Awurade kasa kyerɛɛ Mose wɔ Ahyiae Ntamadan a ɛwɔ Sinai nweatam so. Eyi sii wɔ mfe abien a Israelfo fii Misraim no akyi, ɔsram a ɛto so abien no da a edi kan. Ɔkae se:
2 “Take a census of the whole congregation of Israel by their clans and families, listing every man by name, one by one.
“Gyina Israelfo no mmusuakuw ne wɔn mmusua so kan wɔn nyinaa. Kyerɛw ɔbarima biara din.
3 You and Aaron are to number those who are twenty years of age or older by their divisions—everyone who can serve in Israel’s army.
Wo ne Aaron na mobɛkan mmarima a wɔadi mfe aduonu no ne nea ɛboro saa a wotumi kɔ ɔsa.
4 And one man from each tribe, the head of each family, must be there with you.
Ɔbarima a ofi abusuakuw biara mu a ɔyɛ ntuanoni na ɛsɛ sɛ ɔboa mo.
5 These are the names of the men who are to assist you: From the tribe of Reuben, Elizur son of Shedeur;
“Mmarima a wɔbɛboa mo no din ni: “Ruben abusuakuw no ntuanoni ne Sedeur babarima Elisur;
6 from Simeon, Shelumiel son of Zurishaddai;
Simeon abusuakuw no ntuanoni ne Surisadai babarima Selumiel;
7 from Judah, Nahshon son of Amminadab;
Yuda abusuakuw no ntuanoni ne Aminadab babarima Nahson;
8 from Issachar, Nethanel son of Zuar;
Isakar abusuakuw no ntuanoni ne Suar babarima Netanel;
9 from Zebulun, Eliab son of Helon;
Sebulon abusuakuw no ntuanoni ne Helon babarima Eliab;
10 from the sons of Joseph: from Ephraim, Elishama son of Ammihud, and from Manasseh, Gamaliel son of Pedahzur;
Yosef mmabarima no: Efraim abusuakuw no ntuanoni ne Amihud babarima Elisama; Manase abusuakuw no ntuanoni ne Pedahsur babarima Gamaliel;
11 from Benjamin, Abidan son of Gideoni;
Benyamin abusuakuw ntuanoni ne Gideoni babarima Abidan;
12 from Dan, Ahiezer son of Ammishaddai;
Dan abusuakuw ntuanoni ne Amisadai babarima Ahieser;
13 from Asher, Pagiel son of Ocran;
Aser abusuakuw ntuanoni ne Okran babarima Pagiel;
14 from Gad, Eliasaph son of Deuel;
Gad abusuakuw ntuanoni ne Deguel babarima Eliasaf;
15 and from Naphtali, Ahira son of Enan.”
Naftali abusuakuw ntuanoni ne Enan babarima Ahira.”
16 These men were appointed from the congregation; they were the leaders of the tribes of their fathers, the heads of the clans of Israel.
Eyinom ne mmarima a woyii wɔn fii nnipa no mu, a wɔyɛ wɔn agyanom mmusua no ntuanofo.
17 So Moses and Aaron took these men who had been designated by name,
Mose ne Aaron faa saa nnipa a wɔabobɔ wɔn din yi,
18 and on the first day of the second month they assembled the whole congregation and recorded their ancestry by clans and families, counting one by one the names of those twenty years of age or older,
na da a edi kan wɔ ɔsram a ɛto so abien no mu no, wɔfrɛɛ ɔmanfo no nyinaa. Nnipa no nam wɔn mmusuakuw ne wɔn mmusua so kyerɛɛ wɔn anato na wɔkyerɛw mmarima a wɔadi mfe aduonu ne nea ɛboro saa no din mmaako mmaako,
19 just as the LORD had commanded Moses. So Moses numbered them in the Wilderness of Sinai:
sɛnea Awurade hyɛɛ Mose no. Enti ɔkan wɔn wɔ Sinai sare so.

46 And all those counted totaled 603,550.
Na wɔn nyinaa dodow yɛ mpem ahansia ne abiɛsa ne ahannum aduonum.
47 The Levites, however, were not numbered along with them by the tribe of their fathers.
Mmusua a wɔwɔ Lewi abusuakuw no de, wɔankan wɔn anka wɔn a aka no ho.
48 For the LORD had said to Moses:
Na Awurade aka akyerɛ Mose se,
49 “Do not number the tribe of Levi in the census with the other Israelites.
“Nkan Lewifo abusuakuw no, na mfa wɔn nka Israelfo a wɔaka no ho.
50 Instead, you are to appoint the Levites over the tabernacle of the Testimony, all its furnishings, and everything in it. They shall carry the tabernacle and all its articles, care for it, and camp around it.
Fa Ahyiae Ntamadan no ho dwumadi hyɛ Lewifo no nsa. Wɔnhwɛ nneɛma a wɔde asiesie mu ne nea ɛkeka ho nyinaa so. Wɔn na wɔbɛsoa Ahyiae Ntamadan no ne mu nneɛma, wɔbɛhwɛ so na wɔatenatena ho.
51 Whenever the tabernacle is to move, the Levites are to take it down, and whenever it is to be pitched, the Levites are to set it up. Any outsider who goes near it must be put to death.
Bere biara a ɛsɛ sɛ wotu Ahyiae Ntamadan no, Lewifo no na ɛsɛ sɛ wotutu, na baabiara a wɔde besi no, wɔn na wɔbɛyɛ. Onipa foforo biara a ɔbɛbɛn ho no, wobekum no.
52 The Israelites are to camp by their divisions, each man in his own camp and under his own standard.
Israel abusuakuw biara benya ne tenabea ne ne frankaa.
53 But the Levites are to camp around the tabernacle of the Testimony and watch over it, so that no wrath will fall on the congregation of Israel. So the Levites are responsible for the tabernacle of the Testimony.”
Lewifo no besisi wɔn ntamadan atwa Ahyiae Ntamadan no ho ahyia, sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a Onyankopɔn abufuwhyew remma Israelfo no so. Lewifo no na wɔbɛhwɛ Ahyiae Ntamadan no so.”
54 Thus the Israelites did everything just as the LORD had commanded Moses.
Israelfo no yɛɛ eyinom nyinaa sɛnea Awurade hyɛɛ Mose no.
