Numbers 3
1 These are the generations of Aaron and Moses, in the day when the Lord spoke to Moses on mount Sinai.
Eyi ne nea ɛfa Aaron ne Mose mmusua ho bere a Awurade kasa kyerɛɛ Mose wɔ Sinai Bepɔw so no.
2 And these are the names of the sons of Aaron: his firstborn Nadab, then Abihu, and Eleazar, and Ithamar.
Aaron mmabarima din na edidi so yi: Nadab, nʼabakan, Abihu, Eleasar ne Itamar.
3 These are the names of the sons of Aaron, the priests who were anointed and whose hands were filled and consecrated in order to exercise the priesthood.
Eyinom ne Aaron mma a wɔasra wɔn ngo na wɔayi wɔn asi hɔ sɛ asɔfo.
4 For Nadab and Abihu died without children, when they offered, in the sight of the Lord, a strange fire, in the desert of Sinai. And so, Eleazar and Ithamar exercised the priesthood in the sight of Aaron, their father.
Nadab ne Abihu de, wowuwuu wɔ Awurade anim bere a wɔhyew afɔrebɔde wɔ ogya a ɛmfata so wɔ Sinai sare so no. Na wonni mma nti, Eleasar ne Itamar nko ara na wɔsom sɛ asɔfo, bere a wɔn agya Aaron te ase no.
5 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose se:
6 “Bring forward the tribe of Levi, and cause them to stand in the sight of Aaron the priest, in order to minister to him. And let them keep watch outside,
“Frɛ Lewifo no, na fa wɔn ma ɔsɔfo Aaron sɛ nʼaboafo.
7 and let them observe whatever pertains to the ritual for the multitude, in front of the tabernacle of the testimony,
Wɔbɛyɛ adwuma wɔ Ahyiae Ntamadan no mu ama ɔsɔfo Aaron ne nnipa no nyinaa.
8 and let them take care of the vessels of the tabernacle, serving in its ministry.
Afei, wɔbɛhwɛ nneɛma a wɔde siesie Ahyiae Ntamadan mu no so de asi Israelfo no anan mu ayɛ asodi a wɔyɛ wɔ Ahyiae Ntamadan no mu.
9 And you shall give the Levites as a gift to Aaron and his sons; for they have been delivered to them by the sons of Israel.
Fa Lewifo no ma Aaron ne ne mmabarima; wɔn ne Israelfo a wɔde wɔn bɛma no korakora.
10 But you shall appoint Aaron and his sons over the service of the priesthood. The outsider who approaches to minister shall be put to death.”
Ma Aaron ne ne mmabarima no nsom sɛ asɔfo; onipa foforo biara a ɔbɛbɛn kronkronbea hɔ no, ɛsɛ sɛ wokum no.”
11 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose se,
12 “I have taken the Levites from the sons of Israel. For the Levites, and all the firstborn who open the womb among the sons of Israel, shall be mine.
“Mayi Lewifo no afi Israelfo no mu de wɔn asi Israel babea biara abakan a ɔyɛ ɔbarima anan mu. Lewifo no yɛ me de,
13 For every firstborn is mine. From the time that I struck the firstborn in the land of Egypt, I have sanctified for myself whatever is born first in Israel. From man, even to beast, they are mine. I am the Lord.”
efisɛ abakan biara wɔ me. Bere a mikunkum mmakan wɔ Misraim no, migyaw Israel mmakan, sɛ wɔyɛ nnipa anaa mmoa. Wɔyɛ me dea. Mene Awurade.”
14 And the Lord spoke to Moses in the desert of Sinai, saying:
Afei, Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose wɔ Sinai sare so se,
15 “Number the sons of Levi by the houses of their fathers and their families, every male from one month and above.”
“Kan Lewifo no wɔ wɔn mmusua ne afi mu. Kan ɔbarima biara fi nea wadi ɔsram baako so.”
16 Moses numbered them, just as the Lord had instructed,
Enti Mose kan wɔn sɛnea Awurade hyɛɛ no no.
17 and there were found the sons of Levi by their names: Gershon and Kohath and Merari.
Eyinom ne Lewi mmabarima: Gerson, Kohat ne Merari.
18 The sons of Gershon: Libni and Shimei.
Gerson asefo ni: Libni ne Simei.
19 The sons of Kohath: Amram, and Izhar, Hebron and Uzziel.
Kohat asefo: Amram, Ishar, Hebron ne Usiel.
20 The sons of Merari: Mahli and Mushi.
Merari asefo: Mahli ne Musi. Eyinom ne Lewifo, sɛnea wɔn mmusua ne wɔn afi te.
21 From Gershon were two families: the Libnites, and the Shimeites.
Gerson asefo no na wɔyɛ mmusua a wofi Libni ne Simei ase.
22 The people of these were numbered, of the male sex, from one month and above: seven thousand five hundred.
Na Gersonfo mmarima a wɔadi ɔsram ne nea ɛboro saa a wofi Gerson mmusua mu no dodow yɛ mpem ahanson ne ahannum.
23 These shall encamp behind the tabernacle, toward the west,
Wɔn atenae wɔ Ahyiae Ntamadan no akyi wɔ atɔe fam.
24 under the leader Eliasaph the son of Lael.
Na Gersonfo no ntuanoni ne Lael babarima Eliasaf.
25 And they shall keep watch over the tabernacle of the covenant:
Saa mmusua abien yi na na wɔhwɛ Ahyiae Ntamadan no ne ne nkataho no ne ɔkwan nkataano no so.
26 the tabernacle itself, and its covering; the tent that is drawn before the doors of the covering of the covenant; and the curtains of the atrium; likewise, the tent that is suspended at the entrance of the atrium of the tabernacle; and whatever pertains to the ritual of the altar; the cords of the tabernacle and all its implements.
Afei, na wɔhwɛ adiwo nkataano a etwa Ahyiae Ntamadan no ho ne afɔremuka ne adiwo nkataano nhoma ne ɛhɔ nneɛma a wɔde di dwuma ahorow no nyinaa so.
27 The kinship of Kohath includes the peoples of the Amramites and Izharites and Hebronites and Uzzielites. These are the families of the Kohathites, having been counted by their names,
Kohat asefo yɛ mmusua a wofi Amram, Ishar, Hebron ne Usiel ase.
28 all those of the male gender, from one month and above: eight thousand six hundred. They shall keep watch over the Sanctuary,
Na Kehat mmusua no mu mmarima a wɔadi ɔsram ne nea ɛboro saa no dodow yɛ mpem awotwe ne ahansia. Wɔn na na wɔhwɛ kronkronbea no so.
29 and they shall encamp toward the south side.
Wɔmaa wɔn atenae wɔ Ahyiae Ntamadan no anafo fam.
30 And their leader shall be Elisaphan the son of Uzziel.
Na Kohatfo ntuanoni no ne Usiel babarima Elisafan.
31 And they shall take care of the ark, and the table and the lampstand, the altars and the vessels of the Sanctuary, by which they minister, and the veil, and all the articles of this kind.
Saa mmusua anan yi na na wɔhwɛ apam adaka, ɔpon, kaneadua, afɔremuka ahorow, ne nea ɛkeka ho a na wɔde di dwuma wɔ kronkronbea hɔ, mfimfini ntwamtam ne nneɛma a wɔde di dwuma ahorow wɔ hɔ nyinaa no so.
32 But the leader of the leaders of the Levites, Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest, shall be over those who watch over the care of the Sanctuary.
Aaron babarima ɔsɔfo Eleasar no na na ɔyɛ ɔpanyin wɔ Lewifo no nyinaa so. Ɔyɛɛ no panyin wɔ asɔfo a wɔhwɛ kronkronbea no so.
33 And truly, from Merari are the peoples of the Mahlites and Mushites, having been counted by their names,
Na Merari asefo no yɛ mmusua a wofi Mahli ne Musi ase.
34 all those of the male gender, from one month and above: six thousand two hundred.
Merarifo mmusua no mu na mmarima a wɔadi ɔsram ne nea ɛboro saa no dodow yɛ mpem asia ne ahannu.
35 Their leader is Suriel the son of Abihaiel. They shall make camp on the north side.
Merari abusua no ntuanoni ne Abihail babarima Suriel, na wɔtenaa Ahyiae Ntamadan no atifi fam.
36 Under their care shall be the panels of the tabernacle, and the bars, and the columns with their bases, and all the things which pertain to service of this kind,
Dwumadi a wɔde hyɛɛ saa mmusuakuw abien yi nsa ne sɛ, wɔbɛhwɛ Ahyiae Ntamadan no nnyinaso so. Afei, wɔbɛhwɛ mmeamu nnua, mpuran, nsisiso ne ɛho nneɛma a wɔde di dwuma no nyinaa,
37 and the columns of the surrounding atrium with their bases, and the tent pegs with their cords.
ne mpuran a ɛwɔ adiwo hɔ nyinaa ne ne nsisiso, nnyinaso, ne ntampehama nyinaa, wɔbɛhwɛ so.
38 Moses and Aaron, with their sons, shall make camp before the tabernacle of the covenant, that is, on the east side, holding the custody of the Sanctuary in the midst of the sons of Israel. Whatever foreigner approaches it shall die.
Ahyiae Ntamadan no apuei fam, nea owia pue fi no, wogyaw maa Mose ne Aaron ne ne mmabarima sɛ wonsisi wɔn ntamadan wɔ hɔ. Saa nnipa yi na na wosi Israelfo no anan mu di Ahyiae Ntamadan no ho dwuma nyinaa. Obi foforo biara a ɔbɛbɛn kronkronbea hɔ no, ɛsɛ sɛ wokum no.
39 All the Levites, whom Moses and Aaron numbered by their families according to the precept of the Lord, of the male gender, from one month and above, were twenty-two thousand.
Lewifo a Awurade hyɛɛ Mose ne Aaron sɛ wɔnkan wɔn sɛnea wɔn mmusua te a ɔbarima biara a wɔadi ɔsram ne nea ɛboro saa ka ho no dodow yɛ mpem aduonu abien.
40 And the Lord said to Moses: “Number the firstborn of the male sex from the sons of Israel, from one month and above, and you shall take their total.
Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose se, “Kan Israelfo mmakan a wɔyɛ mmarima na wɔadi ɔsram ne nea ɛboro saa no, na kyerɛw wɔn din.
41 And you shall bring the Levites to me, in place of all the firstborn of the sons of Israel, and you shall bring their cattle to me, in place of all the firstborn of the cattle of the sons of Israel. I am the Lord.”
Lewifo no bɛyɛ me de. Ma wonsi Israelfo mmakan nyinaa anan mu, na Lewifo nyɛmmoa mmakan nsi Israelfo nyɛmmoa mmakan anan mu. Mene Awurade.”
42 Moses took a census, just as the Lord had instructed, of the firstborn of the sons of Israel.
Enti Mose kan Israelfo mmakan nyinaa sɛnea Awurade hyɛɛ no no.
43 And the males by their names, from one month and above, were twenty-two thousand two hundred seventy-three.
Mmakan mmarima a wɔadi ɔsram ne nea ɛboro saa no a ɔkyerɛw wɔn din no ano si mpem aduonu abien ahannu ne aduɔson abiɛsa.
44 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
Afei, Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose se,
45 “Take the Levites, in place of the firstborn of the sons of Israel, and the cattle of the Levites, in place of their cattle, and so the Levites shall be mine. I am the Lord.
“Ma Lewifo nsi Israelfo mmakan anan mu. Na Lewifo nyɛmmoa mmakan nso nsi Israelfo nyɛmmoa mmakan anan mu. Lewifo yɛ me dea. Mene Awurade.
46 But for the price of the two hundred and seventy-three, which exceed the number of the Levites compared to the number of firstborn of the sons of Israel,
Ansa na mubegye Israelfo mmakan ahannu aduɔson abiɛsa no a wɔboro Lewifo no dodow so no,
47 you shall take five shekels for each head, by the measure of the Sanctuary. A shekel has twenty obols.
momma wontua ti ade, sɛnea hyiadan mu nnwetɛbona te, a emu duru yɛ gram aduonum nson.
48 And you shall give the money to Aaron and his sons as the price of those that are in excess.”
Fa ti ade sika no ma Aaron ne ne mma.”
49 Therefore, Moses took the money for those that were in excess, and whom they had redeemed from the Levites
Enti Mose gyigyee Israelfo ahannu aduɔson abiɛsa a na wɔboro Lewifo no dodow so no ti ade.
50 in place of the firstborn of the sons of Israel: one thousand three hundred sixty-five shekels, according to the weight of the Sanctuary.
Sika a wogyigyee no nyinaa ano sii dwetɛ kilogram dunum ne fa.
51 And he gave it to Aaron and his sons, according to the word by which the Lord had instructed him.
Na Mose de maa Aaron ne ne mmabarima sɛnea Awurade hyɛɛ no no.
