Numbers 4
1 And the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying:
Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose ne Aaron se:
2 “Take a total of the sons of Kohath from the midst of the Levites, by their houses and families,
“Kan Kohatfo no dodow a wɔwɔ Lewifo no abusua mu.
3 from thirty years and above, even to the fiftieth year, of all who enter so as to stand and minister in the tabernacle of the covenant.
Saa nnipakan yi bɛyɛ mmarima nko ara a wɔadi fi mfe aduasa kosi aduonum a wobetumi ayɛ adwuma wɔ Ahyiae Ntamadan mu.
4 This is the service of the sons of Kohath: the tabernacle of the covenant and the Holy of holies.
“Kohat mma no dwumadi ne sɛ wɔbɛhwɛ akronkronne no so wɔ Ahyiae Ntamadan no mu.
5 Aaron and his sons shall enter, when the camp is going to move, and they shall take down the veil, which hangs before the entrance, and they shall wrap the ark of the testimony in it,
Sɛ wɔretu afi atenae hɔ a, Aaron ne ne mma mmarima na wobedi kan akɔ Ahyiae Ntamadan no mu akɔfa nkataanim no de akata adaka no ho.
6 and they shall cover it further with a veil of violet skins, and they shall extend over it a cloth made entirely of hyacinth, and they shall draw in the bars.
Afei, wɔde abirekyi nhoma bɛkata nkataanim no ho na wɔde ntama tuntum akata abirekyi nhoma no ho na wɔde nnua a wɔde soa adaka no ahyehyɛ ne nkaa no mu.
7 Likewise, they shall wrap the table of the presence in a cloth of hyacinth, and they shall place with it the censers and little mortars, the cups and bowls for pouring out libations; the bread shall be always on it.
“Afei, wɔmfa ntama tuntum nsɛw ɔpon a Daa Daa Brodo no da so no so; na wɔmfa mprɛte, nsanka, ne adidi nkankyee ne ɔnom afɔre nkuruwa no; brodo no ngu ntama no so ara.
8 And they shall extend over it a cloth of scarlet, which they shall further cover with a veil of violet skins, and they shall draw in the bars.
Wɔde ntama kɔkɔɔ bɛkata so na wɔasan de abirekyi nhoma akata ntama kɔkɔɔ no so. Na afei, wɔde nnua a wɔde bɛsoa no ahyehyɛ ɔpon no mu.
9 They shall take also a cloth of hyacinth, with which they shall cover the lampstand with the lamps, and its tongs, and the candle snuffers, and all the vessels of oil, which are necessary for the preparation of the lamps.
“Ɛsɛ sɛ wɔde ntama tuntum kata kaneadua no, akanea no, adabaw no, nkuku apampaa no ne ngo tumpan no ho.
10 And over all this they shall place a covering of violet skins, and they shall draw in the bars.
Saa nneɛma yi nyinaa nso wɔde abirekyi nhoma a ɛyɛ den bɛkata ho na wɔde nea wɔakyekyere no nyinaa abegu ɔpon no so.
11 And certainly they shall wrap the golden altar in a hyacinth garment, and they shall extend over it a covering of violet skins, and they shall draw in the bars.
“Ɛsɛ sɛ wɔde ntama tuntum kata sikakɔkɔɔ afɔremuka no so na wɔsan de abirekyi nhoma kata so bio na wɔde nnua a wɔde soa no hyehyɛ afɔremuka no mu.
12 All the vessels with which they minister in the Sanctuary they shall wrap in a cloth of hyacinth, and they shall extend over it a covering of violet skins, and they shall draw in the bars.
“Hyiadan no mu som no ho nneɛma a aka no nyinaa, ɛsɛ sɛ wɔde ntama bibiri kyekyere ho a wɔde abirekyi nhoma asan akyekyere ho na wɔde ato mpata a wɔde soa no so.
13 Moreover, they shall cleanse the altar of ashes, and they shall wrap it in a purple garment,
“Ɛsɛ sɛ wotu nsõ no nyinaa fi afɔremuka no mu gu, na wɔde ntama kɔkɔɔ kyekyere ho.
14 and they shall place it with all the vessels which they use in its ministry, that is, receptacles for fire, small hooks as well as forks, larger hooks and shovels. They shall cover all the vessels of the altar together with a veil of violet skins, and they shall draw in the bars.
Ɛsɛ sɛ wɔde afɔremuka no ho ɔsom nneɛma nyinaa gu ntama no so. Saa nneɛma no ne nkankyee a wɔnoa mu, adinam, sofi, ne nkankyee a wɔde nsu a wɔde pete gu mu. Ɛsɛ sɛ wɔde abirekyi nhoma kata ne nyinaa so na wɔde nnua a wɔde soa no gu faako a ɛsɛ sɛ wɔde gu.
15 And when Aaron and his sons have wrapped the Sanctuary and its vessels at the dismantling of the camp, then the sons of Kohath shall enter, so as to carry what has been wrapped. And they shall not touch the vessels of the Sanctuary, lest they die. These are the burdens of the sons of Kohath concerning the tabernacle of the covenant.
“Sɛ Aaron ne ne mma mmarima no wie kronkronbea hɔ nneɛma no anoboa a, Kohat ne nʼabusuafo bɛba abɛsoa akɔ baabiara a wɔretu nneɛma akɔ. Nanso wonni ho kwan sɛ wɔde wɔn nsa ka nneɛma a ɛho tew no bi. Wɔyɛ saa a, wobewuwu. Ɛsɛ sɛ Kohat mmabarima no soa nneɛma a ɛwɔ Ahyiae Ntamadan no mu no.
16 Over them shall be Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, to whom belongs the care of the oil to prepare the lamps, and the incense compound, and the sacrifice, which is offered continually, and the oil of unction, and whatever pertains to the service of the tabernacle, and all the vessels that are in the Sanctuary.”
“Aaron babarima Eleasar a ɔyɛ ɔsɔfo no na ɔbɛhwɛ ngo a wɔde bɛsɔ kanea, nnuhuam, daa aduan a wɔde bɔ afɔre, ɔsra ngo ne Ahyiae Ntamadan no nyinaa so. Biribiara a ɛwɔ Ahyiae Ntamadan no mu no nso, ɔbɛhwɛ so.”
17 And the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying:
Afei, Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose ne Aaron se,
18 “Do not be willing to lose the people of Kohath from the midst of the Levites.
“Monhwɛ sɛ wɔrentwa Kohatfo abusuakuw no mfi Lewifo mu.
19 But do this for them, so that they may live, and so that they may not die by touching the Holies of holies. Aaron and his sons shall enter, and they shall assign the work of each one, and they shall determine what each one ought to carry.
Sɛ wɔresoa nneɛma a ɛho tew no a, nea ɛsɛ sɛ wɔyɛ a wɔrenwuwu ni: Ɛsɛ sɛ Aaron ne ne mma mmarima no ne wɔn kɔ hɔ kɔkyerɛ wɔn ade a ɛsɛ sɛ wɔn mu biara soa.
20 Let no others, out of curiosity, see the things that are in the Sanctuary before they are wrapped, otherwise they shall die.”
Ɛnsɛ sɛ Kohatfo no kɔ hɔ kɔhwɛ akronkronne no koraa, na wɔanwuwu.”
21 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose se,
22 “Now also take a total of the sons of Gershon, by their houses and families and kinships,
“Kan Gerson asefo a wɔfra Lewifo abusua mu no,
23 from thirty years and above, even to fifty years. Number all those who enter and minister in the tabernacle of the covenant.
fi mmarima a wɔadi mfe aduasa kosi aduonum a wobetumi ayɛ adwuma kronkron wɔ Ahyiae Ntamadan mu hɔ no so.
24 This is the duty of the family of the Gershonites:
“Gerson mmusua no dwuma a wobedi ni:
25 to carry the curtains of the tabernacle, and the roof of the covenant, the other covering, and the veil over everything, and the violet tent, which hangs at the entrance of the tabernacle of the covenant,
Wɔbɛsoa ntama a etwa Ahyiae Ntamadan mu hɔ, Ahyiae Ntamadan no ankasa ne nea ɛkata ho, abirekyi nhoma nkuruso ne ntama a ɛsɛn Ahyiae Ntamadan no ano no.
26 the curtains of the atrium, and the veil at the entrance, which is before tabernacle. Everything that pertains to the altar, the cords, and the vessels of the ministry
Afei, wɔbɛsoa nkataho a ɛkata adiwo hɔ fasu no ho no. Wɔbɛsoa ntama a etwa adiwo hɔ kwan no ano ne afɔremuka ne Ahyiae Ntamadan no ntam no. Wɔbɛsoa afɔremuka no, ntampehama ne nea ɛkeka ho nyinaa. Wɔn na ɛsɛ sɛ wɔhwɛ twe eyinom nyinaa.
27 the sons of Gershon shall carry, under the orders of Aaron and his sons. And so shall each one know to which burden he ought to surrender.
Aaron anaa ne mmabarima no bi tumi ma Gerson asefo no bi dwuma di.
28 This is the service of the family of the Gershonites, in the tabernacle of the covenant, and they shall be under the hand of Ithamar, the son of Aaron the priest.
Eyi ne Gersonfo no adwuma wɔ Ahyiae Ntamadan no mu. Ɛsɛ sɛ wodi Aaron ba Itamar a ɔyɛ ɔsɔfo no nan ase.
29 Likewise, you shall take a census of the sons of Merari, by the families and houses of their fathers,
“Kan Merari asefo a wɔfra Lewifo abusua mu no.
30 from thirty years and above, even to fifty years, of all who enter to the office of their ministry and to the service of the covenant of the testimony.
Kan mmarima a wɔadi mfe aduasa kosi aduonum so a wobetumi ayɛ adwuma wɔ Ahyiae Ntamadan mu hɔ.
31 These are their burdens: They shall carry the panels of the tabernacle and its bars, the columns and their bases,
Sɛ wɔpagyaw Ahyiae Ntamadan no a, wɔn na ɛsɛ sɛ wɔsoa ne nnyinaso, nnua a esisi mu, ne nsisiso,
32 also the columns surrounding the atrium, with their bases and tent pegs and cords. They shall accept by number all the vessels and articles, and so shall they carry them.
mpuran a wɔde yɛɛ adiwo hɔ afasu no ne ne nsisiso, nnyinaso, ntampehama ne biribiara a wɔde di ho dwuma. Fa dwumadi ahorow no hyɛ nnipa a wobɛbobɔ wɔn din no nsa.
33 This is the office of the family of the Merarites, and their ministry for the tabernacle of the covenant. And they shall be under the hand of Ithamar, the son of Aaron the priest.”
Merari asefo no, Aaron babarima Itamar na ɔbɛhwɛ wɔn so.”
34 Therefore, Moses and Aaron, and the leaders of the assembly, took a census of the sons of Kohath, by the kinships and houses of their fathers,
Enti Mose ne Aaron ne mpanyimfo no bi kɔkan Kohatfo
35 from thirty years and above, even to the fiftieth year, of all who enter to the ministry of the tabernacle of the covenant.
a mmarima a wɔadi mfe aduasa kosi aduonum nyinaa a wobetumi ayɛ Ahyiae Ntamadan mu adwuma ka ho,
36 And there were found two thousand seven hundred fifty.
na wohuu sɛ wɔn nyinaa dodow yɛ mpem abien ne ahanson aduonum.
37 This is the number of the people of Kohath, who enter the tabernacle of the covenant. These Moses and Aaron numbered according to the word of the Lord by the hand of Moses.
Eyinom ne Kohat asefo dodow a na wɔsom wɔ Ahyiae Ntamadan no mu Wɔyɛɛ eyinom nyinaa de dii Awurade ahyɛde a ɔmaa Mose no so.
38 The sons of Gershon also were numbered by the kinships and houses of their fathers,
Wɔkan Gersonfo no mmusua ne wɔn mmusuakuw.
39 from thirty years and above, even to the fiftieth year, all who enter so as to minister in the tabernacle of the covenant.
Wɔkan mmarima a wɔadi mfe aduasa kosi aduonum a wobetumi ayɛ adwuma wɔ Ahyiae Ntamadan no mu.
40 And there were found two thousand six hundred thirty.
Wɔn nyinaa dodow yɛɛ mpem abien ahansia ne aduasa.
41 This is the people of the Gershonites, whom Moses and Aaron numbered according to the word of the Lord.
Enti na Gersonfo a wɔfata sɛ wɔsom wɔ Ahyiae Ntamadan no mu no nyinaa dodow ne no. Mose ne Aaron na wɔkan wɔn sɛnea Awurade hyɛɛ wɔn no.
42 The sons of Merari also were numbered by the kinships and houses of their fathers,
Merarifo no nso, wɔkan wɔn mmusua ne wɔn mmusuakuw.
43 from thirty years and above, even to the fiftieth year, all who enter to fulfill the rituals of the tabernacle of the covenant.
Wɔkan wɔn mmarima a wɔadi mfe aduasa kosi aduonum a wɔfata sɛ wɔyɛ adwuma wɔ Ahyiae Ntamadan no mu.
44 And there were found three thousand two hundred.
Wɔn nyinaa dodow yɛɛ mpem abiɛsa ne ahannu.
45 This is the number of the sons of Merari, whom Moses and Aaron counted according to the command of the Lord by the hand of Moses.
Enti Merarifo a wɔfata sɛ wɔsom wɔ Ahyiae Ntamadan no mu no nyinaa dodow ne no. Mose ne Aaron na wɔkan wɔn sɛnea Awurade hyɛɛ Mose no.
46 All who were counted from the Levites, and whom, by name, Moses and Aaron, and the leaders of Israel, counted by the kinships and houses of their fathers,
Enti Mose ne Aaron ne Israel mpanyimfo nam Lewifo no mmusua ne wɔn afi so kan wɔn nyinaa.
47 from thirty years and above, until the fiftieth year, entering for the ministry of the tabernacle and carrying the burdens,
Mmarima a na wɔadi fi mfe aduasa kosi mfe aduonum no nyinaa a na wɔfata sɛ wɔyɛ adwuma wɔ Ahyiae Ntamadan no mu hɔ no ne wɔn a wɔbɛsoa akɔ no
48 were together eight thousand five hundred eighty.
dodow yɛ mpem ahanwɔtwe ahannum ne aduɔwɔtwe.
49 Moses took a census of them, according to the word of the Lord, each one according to their office and their burdens, just as the Lord had instructed him.
Awurade hyɛ a ɔhyɛɛ Mose no nti na wɔnam so kan nnipa no.
