1 Now the number of the children of Israel, that is, the heads of families, and the captains of thousands and of hundreds, and the men in authority who were servants of the king in anything to do with the divisions which came in and went out month by month through all the months of the year, in every division were twenty-four thousand.

4 And over the division for the second month was Eleazar, the son of Dodai the Ahohite, the ruler; and in his division were twenty-four thousand.

16 And over the tribes of Israel: the ruler of the Reubenites was Eliezer, the son of Zichri; of the Simeonites, Shephatiah, the son of Maacah;

Mmusuakuo no ne wɔn ntuanofoɔ nie: Ruben abusuakuo: Sikri babarima Elieser; Simeon abusuakuo: Maaka babarima Sefatia;

23 But David did not take the number of those who were under twenty years old, for the Lord had said that he would make Israel like the stars of heaven in number.

Ɛberɛ a Dawid ma wɔkanee nnipa no, wɔankan wɔn a wɔnnii mfeɛ aduonu, ɛfiri sɛ, na Awurade ahyɛ bɔ sɛ ɔbɛma Israelfoɔ no adɔɔso sɛ ɔsoro nsoromma.

24 The numbering was started by Joab, the son of Zeruiah, but he did not go on to the end; and because of it, wrath came on Israel and the number was not recorded in the history of King David.

Yoab na ɔhyɛɛ nnipakan no ase, nanso wanwie, ɛfiri sɛ, Onyankopɔn bo fuu Israel. Wɔantwerɛ nnipa no nyinaa dodoɔ angu Ɔhene Dawid nkrataa mu.

25 And Azmaveth, the son of Adiel, was controller of the king's property; Jonathan, the son of Uzziah, had control of all store-houses in country places and in the towns and little towns and strong places;

Adiel babarima Asmawet na na ɔhwɛ ahemfie sikakorabea so. Usia babarima Yonatan no na na ɔhwɛ ɔmantam no sikakorabea a ɛwowɔ nkuro, nkuraaseɛ ne aban a ɛwɔ Israel nyinaa so.

26 Ezri, the son of Chelub, had authority over the field-workers and farmers;

27 Shimei the Ramathite was responsible for the vine-gardens; Zabdi the Shiphmite was responsible for the produce of the vine-gardens and for all the stores of wine;

28 Baal-hanan the Gederite was responsible for the olive-trees and the sycamore-trees in the lowlands; and Joash for the stores of oil;

29 And Shitrai the Sharonite was responsible for the herds in the grass-lands of Sharon, and Shaphat, the son of Adlai, for those in the valleys;

32 Now Jonathan, David's father's brother, expert in discussion, and a man of good sense, was a scribe; and Jehiel the son of Hachmoni, had the care of the king's sons;

Yonatan a na ɔyɛ Dawid wɔfa no yɛɛ ɔfotufoɔ nyansafoɔ maa ɔhene. Na ɔyɛ ɔtwerɛfoɔ a ɔwɔ nhunumu. Na Hakmoni babarima Yehiel na na ɔkyerɛ ɔhene mmammarima adeɛ.

33 And Ahithophel was the king's expert in discussion and Hushai the Archite was the king's friend.

Ahitofel na na ɔyɛ ɔhene ɔfotufoɔ. Na Husai a ɔfiri Arki yɛ ɔhene adamfo.

34 After Ahithophel was Jehoiada, the son of Benaiah, and Abiathar; and the captain of the king's army was Joab.

Benaia babarima Yehoiada na ɔdii Ahitofel adeɛ na Abiatar bɛtoaa adedie no so. Yoab na na ɔyɛ Israel akodɔm so sahene.
