< 1 Chronicles 26 >
1 Now the divisions of the porters were, from the Korahites: Meshelemiah, the son of Kore, of the sons of Asaph.
Eyinom ne apon ano ahwɛfo no akuwakuw: Korafo mu no, yɛwɔ Kore babarima Meselemia a ofi Asaf abusua mu.
2 The sons of Meshelemiah: Zechariah the firstborn, Jediael the second, Zebadiah the third, Jathniel the fourth,
Meselemia mmabarima yɛ: Sakaria a ɔyɛ abakan, Yediael a ɔto so abien, Sebadia a ɔto so abiɛsa, Yatniel a ɔto so anan.
3 Elam the fifth, Jehohanan the sixth, Eliehoenai the seventh.
Elam a ɔto so anum, Yehohanan a ɔto so asia, Eliehoenai a ɔto so ason.
4 Then the sons of Obededom: Shemaiah the firstborn, Jehozabad the second, Joah the third, Sachar the fourth, Nethanel the fifth,
Na Obed-Edom mmabarima nso a wɔyɛ apon ano ahwɛfo yɛ: Semaia a ɔyɛ abakan, Yehosabad a ɔto so abien, Yoa a ɔto so abiɛsa, Sakar a ɔto so anan, Netanel a ɔto so anum,
5 Ammiel the sixth, Issachar the seventh, Peullethai the eighth. For the Lord had blessed him.
Amiel a ɔto so asia, Isakar a ɔto so ason, ne Peuletai a ɔto so awotwe. Onyankopɔn hyiraa Obed-Edom bebree.
6 Now to his son Shemaiah, there were born sons, rulers of their families. For they were very strong men.
Na Obed-Edom babarima Semaia wɔ mmabarima a wotumi ade yɛ yiye nti, wonyaa dibea a ekura tumi wɔ abusua no mu.
7 Then the sons of Shemaiah were Othni, and Rephael, and Obed, Elzabad and his brothers, very strong men, as well as Elihu and Semachiah.
Na wɔn din ne: Otni, Refael, Obed ne Elsabad; na wɔn abusuafo Elihu ne Semaia nso yɛ mmɔdemmɔfo.
8 All these were from the sons of Obededom: they and their sons and brothers, very fit for the ministry, sixty-two from Obededom.
Obed-Edom asefo yi nyinaa a wɔn mmabarima ne wɔn nenanom a na wɔn nyinaa dodow yɛ aduosia abien no yɛ nnipa a na wɔbɔ wɔn ho mmɔden yiye na wɔn nnwuma fata wɔn.
9 Then there were the sons of Meshelemiah and their brothers, very robust men, eighteen.
Saa ara nso na na Meselemia mmabarima dunwɔtwe no ne wɔn abusuafo nso bɔ wɔn ho mmɔden yiye.
10 Now, from Hosah, that is, from the sons of Merari: Shimri the leader, for he had not had a firstborn son, and so, because of this, his father had appointed him as the leader,
Hosa a ofi Merari abusua mu mma ne: Simri na odi kan (na ɔnyɛ abakan de, nanso nʼagya paw no sɛ ntuanoni wɔ ne mmabarima mu).
11 Hilkiah the second, Tebaliah the third, Zechariah the fourth. All these, the sons and brothers of Hosah, were thirteen.
Na ne mmabarima no bi ne: Hilkia a na ɔto so abien. Tebalia na ɔto so abiɛsa na Sakaria to so anan. Na Hosa mmabarima ne nʼabusuafo a wɔsom sɛ apon ano ahwɛfo no nyinaa dodow yɛ dumiɛnsa.
12 These were distributed as porters, so that the leaders of the posts, as well as their brothers, were ministering continually in the house of the Lord.
Saa apon ano hwɛfo akuw yi nam wɔn mmusua ntuanofo so som wɔ Awurade fi, sɛnea wɔn abusuafo yɛe no.
13 Then they cast lots equally, for both the small and the great, by their families, concerning each one of the gates.
Wɔnam ntontobɔ kronkron so, de ɔwɛn adwuma wɔ apon ahorow ano hyɛɛ mmusua no nsa a wɔnhwɛ mfirihyia a obi adi, anaa ntetewee a wanya so.
14 And the lot of the east fell out to Shelemiah. But to his son Zechariah, a very prudent and learned man, the northern section was obtained by lot.
Wɔde apuei pon ho dwumadi no hyɛɛ Meslemia ne ne kuw nsa. Atifi pon ho dwumadi nso, wɔde hyɛɛ ne babarima onyansafo Sakaria nsa.
15 Truly, Obededom and his sons obtained that to the south, in the part of the house where the council of elders was.
Anafo pon no, wɔde hyɛɛ Obed-Edom nsa, na wɔmaa ne mmabarima no hwɛɛ adekoradan no so.
16 Shuppim and Hosah obtained that toward the west, beside the gate that leads to the way of the ascent, one post facing the other.
Wɔmaa Supim ne Hosa hwɛɛ atɔe pon no ne ɔkwan a ɛkɔ asɔredan no mu no so. Wɔkyekyɛɛ ɔwɛn nnwuma no pɛpɛɛpɛ maa wɔn.
17 Truly, toward the east there were six Levites, and toward the north there were four per day, and then toward the south similarly there were four each day. And where the council was, there were two and two.
Da biara, na wɔma Lewifo baasia kɔ apuei pon no ho, na wɔma baanan kɔ atifi pon no ho, na baanan nso akɔ anafo pon no ho, na baanu baanu akokɔ adekoradan ahorow no mu biara ho.
18 Also, in the cells of the porters toward the west, there were four along the way, and two at every cell.
Da biara, na wɔma baasia kɔ atɔe pon no ho. Baanan kɔ ɔkwan a ɛkɔ asɔredan no mu no so, na baanu nso akɔ adiwo hɔ.
19 These are the divisions of the porters of the sons of Kohath and of Merari.
Eyinom ne apon ano ahwɛfo a wofi Kora ne Merari mmusua mu no nkyekyɛmu.
20 Now Ahijah was over the treasuries of the house of God, and the holy vessels.
Lewifo a wɔaka a na Ahiya da wɔn ano no na na wɔhwɛ Onyankopɔn fi sikakorabea ne adekoradan so.
21 The sons of Ladan, sons of Gershon: from Ladan, leaders of the families of Ladan and of Gershon: Jehieli.
Libni fi a na ɛwɔ Gerson abusua mu no, na Yehieli na na otua wɔn ano.
22 The sons of Jehieli: Zetham and Joel; his brothers were over the treasuries of the house of the Lord,
Yehieli mmabarima Setam ne ne nuabarima Yoel na na wɔhwɛ Awurade fi sikakorabea so.
23 with the Amramites, and Izharites, and Hebronites, and Uzzielites.
Eyinom ne ntuanofo a wɔyɛ Amram, Yishar, Hebron ne Usiel asefo.
24 Now, Shebuel, the son of Gershom, the son of Moses, was in the first place over the treasuries,
Amram abusua mu, Sebuel yɛ Mose babarima Gersom aseni. Ɔno na na ɔyɛ ɔpanyin a ɔhwɛ sikakorabea no so.
25 along with his brothers, Eliezer, and his son Rehabiah, and his son Jeshaiah, and his son Joram, and also his son Zichri, and his son Shelomoth.
Wɔn a wɔnam Elieser so yɛ nʼabusuafo ne Rehabia, Yesaia, Yoram, Sikri ne Selomot.
26 The same Shelomoth and his brothers were over the treasuries of the holy things, which king David sanctified, with the leaders of the families, and the tribunes, and the centurions, and the commanders of the army.
Selomot ne nʼabusuafo na na wɔhwɛ sikakorabea a na wɔkora agyapade a wɔde ama Awurade no so. Agyapade no bi ne nea Dawid ne mmusua ntuanofo ne asahene ne asraafo mpanyimfo de maa Awurade no.
27 These things were from the wars and from the best spoils of the battles, which they had consecrated for the repair and the furnishing of the temple of the Lord.
Na saa mmarima yi de wɔn asade a wonyaa wɔ akodi mu no bi bae sɛ wɔmfa nsiesie Awurade fi.
28 Now all these things were sanctified by Samuel, the seer, and by Saul, the son of Kish, and by Abner, the son of Ner, and by Joab, the son of Zeruiah. All those who had sanctified these were under the hand of Shelomoth and his brothers.
Afei, na Selomot ne nʼabusuafo na wɔhwɛ nneɛma a Samuel a ɔyɛ odiyifo, Kis babarima Saulo, Ner babarima Abner ne Seruia babarima Yoab de maa Awurade no so. Nneɛma nkae a wɔde maa Awurade no nyinaa, na ɛhyɛ wɔn nsa.
29 Yet truly, Chenaniah and his sons were over the Izharites, for the exterior works concerning Israel, in order to teach and to judge them.
Yishar abusua mu na Kenania fi. Ɔne ne mmabarima na woyii wɔn sɛ ɔman sohwɛfo ne atemmufo wɔ Israelman mu nyinaa.
30 Now from the Hebronites, Hashabiah and his brothers, one thousand seven hundred very strong men, were in charge of Israel across the Jordan toward the west, in all the works of the Lord, and in the ministry of the king.
Hebron abusua mu na Hasabia fi. Ɔne nʼabusuafo a wɔyɛ mmɔdemmɔfo a wɔn dodow yɛ apem ahanson na wɔma wɔhwɛɛ Israel nsase a ɛdeda Asubɔnten Yordan atɔe fam no so. Nsɛm a ɛfa Awurade ho, ne ɔhene a ɔwɔ mpasua no so som ho nyinaa yɛ wɔn asɛde.
31 And the leader of the Hebronites was Jerijah, according to their families and kindred. In the fortieth year of the reign of David, they were numbered, and there were found very strong men in Jazer Gilead.
Bio, Hebron abusua mu na Yeria fi. Sɛnea awo ntoatoaso nkrataa kyerɛ no, ɔno na na ɔyɛ Hebronfo no ntuanoni. (Dawid dii hene no, ne mfe aduanan so, wɔhwehwɛɛ nkrataa mu na wohuu mmarima a wɔbɔ wɔn ho mmɔden wɔ Hebron abusua no mu din wɔ kurow Yaser a ɛwɔ Gilead mu.
32 And his brothers of a mature age were two thousand seven hundred leaders of families. Then king David placed them in charge of the Reubenites, and the Gadites, and the one half tribe of Manasseh, in all of the ministries of God and of the king.
Na mmarima a wɔbɔ wɔn ho mmɔden mpem abien ne ahanson na na wɔwɔ Yeria abusua mu. Ɔhene Dawid ma wɔkɔɔ Asubɔnten Yordan apuei fam, maa wɔkɔhwɛɛ Ruben ne Gad mmusuakuw ne Manase abusuakuw fa no so. Nsɛm a ɛfa Onyankopɔn ho, ne ɔhene som ho nyinaa yɛ wɔn asɛde.)
