1 Chronicles 9
1 All of the people of Israel were recorded in the genealogies written down in the book of the kings of Israel. The people of Judah were taken away to captivity in Babylon because they had been unfaithful.
Wɔtwerɛɛ Israel abusuadua biara mu nnipa din guu Israel ne Yuda Ahemfo nwoma mu. Esiane sɛ na Yudafoɔ no nni Awurade nokorɛ no enti, wɔtwaa wɔn asuo kɔɔ Babilonia.
2 The first to return and reclaim their property and live in their towns were some Israelites, priests, Levities, and Temple servants.

13 The priests, who were family heads, totaled 1,760. They were strong and capable men who served in the house of God.

17 The gatekeepers of the Temple: Shallum, Akkub, Talmon, Ahiman and their relatives. Shallum was the chief gatekeeper.
Apono anohwɛfoɔ a wɔsane baeɛ no yɛ: Salum, Akub, Talmon, Ahiman ne wɔn mmusuafoɔ. Salum na na ɔyɛ ɔpono ano hwɛfoɔ panin.
18 They had the responsibility up until now of looking after the King's Gate on the east side. They were the gatekeepers of the camps of the Levites.
Kane no nso, na anka wɔn na wɔhwɛ ɔhene ɛpono a ɛkyerɛ apueeɛ fam no so. Na saa mmarima no som sɛ Lewifoɔ atenaeɛ apono ano ahwɛfoɔ.
19 Shallum was the son of Kore, son of Ebiasaph, son of Korah. He and his relatives, the Korahites, were responsible for guarding the entrances to the sanctuary in the same way their fathers had been responsible for guarding the entrance to the tented house of the Lord.
Na Salum yɛ Kore babarima a ɔyɛ Ebiasaf a ɔfiri Kora abusua mu aseni. Na ɔne nʼabusuafoɔ a wɔyɛ Korafoɔ no na na wɔwɛn ɛkwan a ɛkɔ kronkronbea hɔ no, sɛdeɛ na wɔn mpanimfoɔ wɛnee Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan wɔ Awurade atenaeɛ hɔ no.
20 Previously Phinehas son of Eleazar had been the leader of the gatekeepers. The Lord was with him.
Eleasa babarima Pinehas na kane no na ɔhwɛ apono ano ahwɛfoɔ no so, na Awurade ka ne ho.
21 Zechariah son of Meshelemiah was the gatekeeper at the entrance to the tent of meeting.
Akyire no, Meselemia babarima Sakaria na na ɔwɛn ɛkwan a ɛkɔ Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no mu no ano.
22 In total there were 212 chosen to be gatekeepers at the entrances. They recorded their genealogies in their home towns. David and Samuel the prophet had selected their forefathers for their faithfulness.
Ne nyinaa mu, saa ɛberɛ no, na apono ano ahwɛfoɔ no dodoɔ yɛ ahanu ne dumienu a na wɔatwerɛ wɔn din wɔ wɔn mmusuadua nkrataa mu wɔ wɔn nkuraaseɛ. Dawid ne Samuel a na ɔyɛ ɔdehunufoɔ no yiyii wɔn agyanom, ɛfiri sɛ na wɔyɛ nokwafoɔ.
23 They and their descendants were responsible for guarding the entrance to the house of the Lord, also when it was a tent.
Saa apono ano ahwɛfoɔ yi ne wɔn asefoɔ no, na wɔkyekyɛ wɔn mu kɔwɛn ɛkwan a ɛkɔ Awurade efie, a kane no na ɛyɛ ntomadan no ano.
24 The gatekeepers were placed on four sides: east, west, north, and south.
Wɔde apono ano ahwɛfoɔ no gyinagyinaa afanan no nyinaa a ɛyɛ apueeɛ, atɔeɛ, atifi ne anafoɔ.
25 Their relatives in their towns came every seven days at certain times to help them.
Ɛberɛ-ano-berɛ-ano, na wɔn abusuafoɔ a wɔwɔ nkuraaseɛ no bɛboa wɔn wɔ wɔn nnanson nnanson dwumadie mu.
26 The four chief gatekeepers, who were Levites, were given the responsibility of looking after the rooms and treasuries in the house of God.
Saa apono ano ahwɛfoɔ mpanimfoɔ baanan a na wɔyɛ Lewifoɔ no, na wɔn adwuma no yɛ deɛ ɛkura asodie kɛseɛ, ɛfiri sɛ, wɔn na na wɔhwɛ adan ne sikakoradan a ɛwɔ Onyankopɔn fie hɔ no so.
27 They spent the night around the house of God because they had to guard it and they had the key to unlock it in the morning.
Wɔwɛn Onyankopɔn fie hɔ anadwo, ɛfiri sɛ, na ɛyɛ wɔn asɛdeɛ. Afei, na ɛyɛ wɔn adwuma sɛ da biara anɔpa wɔbuebue apono no.
28 Some of the gatekeepers were responsible for the articles that were used in worship services. They counted what was brought in and what was taken out.
Na apono ano ahwɛfoɔ no bi adwuma ne sɛ wɔhwɛ nneɛma ahodoɔ a wɔde yɛ ɔsom adwuma no so. Sɛ wɔrekɔfa, na wɔresane de akɔgu hɔ no nyinaa a, wɔhwɛ sɛ ebi nnyera.
29 Others were given the job of looking after the furniture and equipment used in the sanctuary, as well as the special flour, wine, olive oil, incense, and spices.
Afoforɔ nso hwɛ nneɛma a wɔde asiesie hɔ, nneɛma a ɛwɔ kronkronbea hɔ, nneɛma a wɔde brɛ wɔn, sɛ ebia, asikyiresiam a wɔayam no muhumuhu, nsã, ngo, nnuhwam ne kurobo ahodoɔ so.
30 (However, some of the priests were in charge of mixing the spices.)
Nanso, na asɔfoɔ no na wɔdi nnuhwam no ne kurobo no ho dwuma.
31 Mattithiah, a Levite, who was the firstborn son of Shallum the Korahite, was given the responsibility of baking the bread used in offerings.
Matitia a ɔyɛ Lewini, na ɔyɛ Korani Salum abakan no na na ɔto burodo a wɔde bɔ afɔdeɛ no.
32 Other Kohathites were in charge of preparing the bread set out on the table every Sabbath.
Na nnipa bi a wɔfiri Kohat abusua mu nso na na wɔhwɛ, siesie burodo a wɔde to ɛpono Homeda no.
33 The musicians, heads of Levite families, lived in the rooms in the Temple and were not required to carry out other duties because they were on duty day and night.
Nnwom ho nimdefoɔ a na wɔn nso yɛ Lewifoɔ atitire no nyinaa, na wɔtete Asɔredan no mu. Na wɔmma wɔnnyɛ adwuma foforɔ biara, ɛsiane wɔn adwuma a wɔyɛ no mmerɛ nyinaa enti.
34 These were all heads of Levite families, leaders as recorded in their genealogies, and they lived in Jerusalem.
Na saa nnipa yi nyinaa tete Yerusalem. Na wɔyɛ Lewifoɔ mmusua no nyinaa ntuanofoɔ a wɔatwerɛ wɔn din ahyɛ wɔn mmusuadua krataa mu.
