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 Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan a ɛwɔ Sinai anweatam so. Yei siiɛ wɔ mfeɛ mmienu a Israelfoɔ firii Misraim no akyi, ɔbosome a ɛtɔ so mmienu no no ɛda a ɛdi ɛkan. Ɔkaa sɛ:
2 “Take a census of the whole congregation of Israel by their clans and families, listing every man by name, one by one.
“Gyina Israelfoɔ no mmusuakuo ne wɔn mmusua so kan wɔn nyinaa. Twerɛ 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 mfeɛ aduonu no ne deɛ ɛboro saa a wɔtumi kɔ ɔsa.
4 And one man from each tribe, the head of each family, must be there with you.
Ɔbarima a ɔfiri abusuakuo biara mu a ɔyɛ ntuanoni na ɔbɛboa 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 edin nie: “Ruben abusuakuo no ntuanoni yɛ Sedeur babarima Elisur;
6 from Simeon, Shelumiel son of Zurishaddai;
Simeon abusuakuo no ntuanoni yɛ Surisadai babarima Selumiel;
7 from Judah, Nahshon son of Amminadab;
Yuda abusuakuo no ntuanoni yɛ Aminadab babarima Nahson;
8 from Issachar, Nethanel son of Zuar;
Isakar abusuakuo no ntuanoni yɛ Suar babarima Netanel;
9 from Zebulun, Eliab son of Helon;
Sebulon abusuakuo no ntuanoni yɛ Helon babarima Eliab;
10 from the sons of Joseph: from Ephraim, Elishama son of Ammihud, and from Manasseh, Gamaliel son of Pedahzur;
Yosef mmammarima no: Efraim abusuakuo no ntuanoni yɛ Amihud babarima Elisama; Manase abusuakuo no ntuanoni yɛ Pedahsur babarima Gamaliel;
11 from Benjamin, Abidan son of Gideoni;
Benyamin abusuakuo ntuanoni yɛ Gideoni babarima Abidan;
12 from Dan, Ahiezer son of Ammishaddai;
Dan abusuakuo ntuanoni yɛ Amisadai babarima Ahieser;
13 from Asher, Pagiel son of Ocran;
Aser abusuakuo ntuanoni yɛ Okran babarima Pagiel;
14 from Gad, Eliasaph son of Deuel;
Gad abusuakuo ntuanoni yɛ Deguel babarima Eliasaf;
15 and from Naphtali, Ahira son of Enan.”
Naftali abusuakuo ntuanoni yɛ 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.
Yeinom ne mmarima a wɔyii wɔn firii nnipa no mu, a wɔyɛ ntuanofoɔ ma wɔn agyanom mmusua no.
17 So Moses and Aaron took these men who had been designated by name,
Mose ne Aaron faa saa nnipa yi a wɔabobɔ wɔn edin 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 ɛda a ɛdi ɛkan wɔ ɔbosome a ɛtɔ so mmienu no mu no, wɔfrɛɛ ɔmanfoɔ no nyinaa. Nnipa no nam wɔn mmusuakuo ne wɔn mmusua so kyerɛɛ wɔn mmusuadua na wɔtwerɛɛ mmarima a wɔadi mfeɛ aduonu ne deɛ ɛboro saa no edin mmaako mmaako
19 just as the LORD had commanded Moses. So Moses numbered them in the Wilderness of Sinai:

Yeinom ne mmarima a Mose ne Aaron ne Israel mmusuakuo dumienu no ntuanofoɔ kan wɔn.
45 So all the Israelites twenty years of age or older who could serve in Israel’s army were counted according to their families.
Israelfoɔ a na wɔadi mfeɛ aduonu anaa deɛ ɛboro saa no a wɔbɛtumi adɔm Israel akodɔm no nso, wɔgyinaa wɔn mmusua so kan wɔn.
46 And all those counted totaled 603,550.
Na wɔn nyinaa dodoɔ yɛ mpem ahansia ne mmiɛnsa ne ahanum aduonum.
47 The Levites, however, were not numbered along with them by the tribe of their fathers.
Mmusua a wɔwɔ Lewi abusuakuo no deɛ, wɔankan wɔn anka wɔn a aka no ho.
48 For the LORD had said to Moses:
Na Awurade aka akyerɛ Mose sɛ,
49 “Do not number the tribe of Levi in the census with the other Israelites.
“Nkan Lewifoɔ abusuakuo no, na mfa wɔn nka Israelfoɔ 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 Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no ho dwumadie hyɛ Lewifoɔ no nsa. Wɔnhwɛ nneɛma a wɔde asiesie mu ne deɛ ɛkeka ho nyinaa so. Wɔn na wɔbɛsoa Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no ne emu 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.
Ɛberɛ biara a ɛsɛ sɛ wɔtu Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no, Lewifoɔ no na ɛsɛ sɛ wɔtutu, na baabiara a wɔde bɛsi no, wɔn na wɔbɛyɛ. Onipa foforɔ biara a ɔbɛbɛn ho no, wɔbɛkum no.
52 The Israelites are to camp by their divisions, each man in his own camp and under his own standard.
Israel abusuakuo biara bɛnya nʼatenaeɛ 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.”
Lewifoɔ no bɛsisi wɔn ntomadan atwa Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no ho ahyia, sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a Onyankopɔn abufuhyeɛ remma Israelfoɔ no so. Lewifoɔ no na wɔbɛhwɛ Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no so.”
54 Thus the Israelites did everything just as the LORD had commanded Moses.
Israelfoɔ no yɛɛ yeinom nyinaa sɛdeɛ Awurade hyɛɛ Mose no.
