Ezra 8
1 Now these are the chiefs of families, and the genealogy of them, who came up with me from Babylon in the reign of Artaxerxes the king.
Eyinom ne abusua mu ntuanofo ne anato ahorow a ɔhene Artasasta di ade no, wɔne me fi Babilonia bae:
2 Of the sons of Phinees, Gersom. Of the sons of Ithamar, Daniel. Of the sons of David, Hattus.
Pinehas asefo mu no: Gersom; Itamar asefo mu no: Daniel. Dawid asefo mu no: Sekania babarima Hatus.

5 Of the sons of Sechenias, the son of Ezechiel, and with him three hundred men.

11 Of the sons of Bebai, Zacharias the son of Bebai: and with him eight and twenty men.
Bebai asefo mu no: Bebai babarima Sakaria ne mmarima afoforo bi aduonu awotwe.
12 Of the sons of Azgad, Joanan the son of Eccetan, and with him a hundred and ten men.
Asgad asefo mu no: Hakatan babarima Yohanan ne mmarima afoforo bi ɔha ne du.
13 Of the sons of Adonicam, who were the last: and these are their names: Eliphelet, and Jehiel, and Samaias, and with them sixty men.
Adonikam asefo a wotwa to no: wɔn din de Elifelet, Yeiel, ne Semaia a, mmarima afoforo bi aduosia ka wɔn ho.
14 Of the sons of Begui, Uthai and Zachur, and with them seventy men.
Bigwai asefo mu no: Utai ne Sakur a mmarima afoforo bi aduɔson ka wɔn ho.
15 And I gathered them together to the river, which runneth down to Ahava, and we stayed there three days: and I sought among the people and among the priests for the sons of Levi, and found none there.
Meboaa nnommum no ano wɔ Ahawa nsukwan no so, na yɛma wɔtenaa hɔ nnansa, bere a merehwɛ nnipa no ne asɔfo a wɔabedu hɔ no din mu no, mihuu sɛ Lewifo no mu baako mpo antu ne ho ansi hɔ.
16 So I sent Eliezer, and Ariel, and Semeias, and Elnathan, and Jarib, and another Elnathan, and Nathan, and Zacharias, and Mosollam, chief men: and Joiarib, and Elnathan, wise men.
Enti mesoma ma wɔkɔfrɛɛ Elieser, Ariel, Semaia, Elnatan, Yarib, Elnatan, Natan, Sakaria ne Mesulam, a wɔyɛ ɔmanfo no ntuanofo no. Mesan soma ma wɔkɔfrɛɛ Yoiarib ne Elnatan, a na wɔyɛ nimdefo no nso;
17 And I sent them to Eddo, who is chief in the place of Chasphia, and I put in their mouth the words that they should speak to Eddo, and his brethren the Nathinites in the place of Chasphia, that they should bring us ministers of the house of our God.
na mema wɔkɔɔ Ido a na otua Lewifo no ano no nkyɛn wɔ Kasifia. Mekyerɛɛ wɔn nea wɔnka nkyerɛ Ido ne nʼabusuafo ne asɔredan no mu asomfo no wɔ Kasifia, sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a wɔde ahwɛfo bɛbrɛ yɛn wɔ yɛn Nyankopɔn fi.
18 And by the good hand of our God upon us, they brought us a most learned man of the sons of Moholi the son of Levi the son of Israel, and Sarabias and his sons, and his brethren eighteen,
Esiane sɛ Onyankopɔn adom nsa wɔ yɛn so no nti, wɔbrɛɛ yɛn ɔbarima bi a ne din de Serebia, a ne mmabarima ne ne nuabarimanom dunwɔtwe ka ne ho. Na ɔyɛ onyansafo a ɔyɛ Mahli a na ɔyɛ Israel babarima Lewi no aseni,
19 And Hasabias, and with him Isaias of the sons of Merari, and his brethren, and his sons twenty.
ne Merari asefo Yesaia, Hasabia ne ne mmabarima ne ne nuabarimanom aduonu
20 And of the Nathinites, whom David, and the princes gave for the service of the Levites, Nathinites two hundred and twenty: all these were called by their names.
ne asɔredan no mu asomfo ahannu ne aduonu bae. Na asɔredan mu asomfo no yɛ Lewifo no aboafo a na wɔyɛ asɔredan mu adwumayɛfo kuw bi a Dawid na ɔfaa wɔn kan. Wɔkyerɛw wɔn nyinaa din.
21 And I proclaimed there a fast by the river Ahava, that we might afflict ourselves before the Lord our God, and might ask of him a right way for us and for our children, and for all our substance.
Na Ahawa Suka no ho no, mehyɛɛ sɛ yenni mmuada, na yɛmmrɛ yɛn ho ase mma Onyankopɔn. Yɛbɔɔ mpae sɛ ɔbɛma yɛakodu dwoodwoo, na wabɔ yɛn ne yɛn mma ne yɛn nneɛma a yɛde rebetu kwan no ho ban.
22 For I was ashamed to ask the king for aid and for horsemen, to defend us from the enemy in the way: because we had said to the king: The hand of our God is upon all them that seek him in goodness: and his power and strength, and wrath upon all them that forsake him.
Na mefɛree sɛ mebisa ɔhene no sɛ ɔmma yɛn asraafo ne apɔnkɔsotefo na wɔnka yɛn ho mmɔ yɛn ho ban wɔ ɔkwan so, efisɛ na yɛaka akyerɛ ɔhene no se, “Yɛn Nyankopɔn bɔ wɔn a wɔsom no no ho ban, na nʼabufuwhyew no tia wɔn a wɔpo no.”
23 And we fasted, and besought our God for this: and it fell out prosperously unto us.
Enti yedii mmuada, bɔɔ mpae srɛɛ yɛn Nyankopɔn wɔ eyi ho, na otiee yɛn mpaebɔ.
24 And I separated twelve of the chief of the priests, Sarabias, and Hasabias, and with them ten of their brethren,
Na miyii asɔfo no ntuanofo dumien a wɔne Serebia, Hasabia ne asɔfo afoforo du a wɔka wɔn ho
25 And I weighed unto them the silver and gold, and the vessels consecrated for the house of our God, which the king and his counsellors, and his princes, and all Israel, that were found had offered.
sɛ wɔnhwɛ dwetɛ, sikakɔkɔɔ, sikakɔkɔɔ hweaseammɔ ne nneɛma a ɛka ho a ɔhene no nʼagyinatufo, ne ntuanofo ne Israelfo de ama Onyankopɔn fi no so.
26 And I weighed to their hands six hundred and fifty talents of silver, and a hundred vessels of silver, and a hundred talents of gold,
Mede agude no rema wɔn no, mekarii na mihuu sɛ emu duru yɛ: dwetɛ nkaribo tɔn aduonu anan, sikakɔkɔɔ nkuku ne nkaka nkaribo pɔn mpem ahanson ne ahannum, sikakɔkɔɔ nkaribo pɔn mpem ahanson ne ahannum,
27 And twenty cups of gold, of a thousand solids, and two vessels of the best shining brass, beautiful as gold.
sikakɔkɔɔ hweaseammɔ aduonu a ɛne sikakɔkɔɔ nnwetɛbona apem bo yɛ pɛ, kɔbere nneɛma abien a wɔabere ho ma ɛrekɔyɛ sɛ sikakɔkɔɔ ankasa.
28 And I said to them: You are the holy ones of the Lord, and the vessels are holy, and the silver and gold, that is freely offered to the Lord the God of our fathers.
Na meka kyerɛɛ saa asɔfo yi se, “Wɔayi mo ne saa agyapade yi nyinaa asi nkyɛn sɛ ade kronkron ama Awurade. Saa dwetɛ ne sikakɔkɔɔ yi yɛ koma pa mu afɔrebɔde a wɔde rema Awurade, yɛn agyanom Nyankopɔn.
29 Watch ye and beep them, till you deliver them by weight before the chief of the priests, and of the Levites, and the heads of the families of Israel in Jerusalem, into the treasure of the house of the Lord.
Monhwɛ saa agyapade yi so yiye, na momfa mma asɔfo mpanyin, Lewifo ne Israel ntuanofo wɔ adekorae a ɛwɔ Yerusalem asɔredan no mu no.”
30 And the priests and the Levites received the weight of the silver and gold, and the vessels, to carry them to Jerusalem to the house of our God.
Enti asɔfo no ne Lewifo no gye too wɔn ho so sɛ wɔde saa Onyankopɔn asɔre sika no bɛkɔ Yerusalem.
31 Then we set forward from the river Ahava on the twelfth day of the first month to go to Jerusalem: and the hand of our God was upon us, and delivered us from the hand of the enemy, and of such as lay in wait by the way.
Yefii Ahawa Suka atenae hɔ Ab ɔsram (bɛyɛ Oforisuo) da a ɛto so dunkron, sii mu kɔɔ Yerusalem. Na Onyankopɔn nsa no bɔɔ yɛn ho ban, gyee yɛn fii atamfo ne akwamukafo nsam.
32 And we came to Jerusalem, and we stayed there three days.
Enti yekoduu Yerusalem dwoodwoo, homee wɔ hɔ nnansa.
33 And on the fourth day the silver and the gold, and the vessels were weighed in the house of our God by the hand of Meremoth the son of Urias the priest, and with him was Eleazar the son of Phinees, and with them Jozabad the son of Josue, and Noadaia the son of Benoi, Levites.
Yeduu no, ne nnaanan so no, wɔkarii dwetɛ, sikakɔkɔɔ ne aboɔdenne a aka no wɔ Onyankopɔn asɔredan no mu, na wɔde hyɛɛ Uria babarima ɔsɔfo Meremot ne Pinehas babarima Eleasar ne Yesua babarima Yosabad ne Binui babarima Noadia a wɔn baanu no yɛ Lewifo no nsa.
34 According to the number and weight of every thing: and all the weight was written at that time.
Wɔkan biribiara dodow, karii mu duru, kyerɛw biribiara.
35 Moreover the children of them that had been carried away that were come out of the captivity, offered holocausts to the God of Israel, twelve calves for all the people of Israel, ninety-six rams, seventy-seven lambs, and twelve he goats for sin: all for a holocaust to the Lord.
Na wɔn a wofi nnommum mu bae no de anantwi dumien, adwennini aduɔkron asia ne nguantenmma aduɔson ason, bɔɔ ɔhyew afɔre, maa Israel Nyankopɔn. Afei, wɔmaa mmirekyi dumien sɛ bɔne ho afɔrebɔde. Wɔde eyinom nyinaa bae sɛ ɔhyew afɔre maa Awurade.
36 And they gave the king’s edicts to the lords that were from the king’s court, and the governors beyond the river, and they furthered the people and the house of God.
Wɔde ɔhene no mmara no maa ne mpanyimfo ne amradofo a wɔwɔ asu Eufrate agya no, na wɔn nyinaa yɛɛ baako boaa Onyankopɔn asɔredan no si.
