Numbers 4
1 The Lord told Moses and Aaron,
Afei Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose ne Aaron sɛ:
2 “Register the descendants of Kohath from the tribe of Levi, according to their family and father's line.
“Kan Kohatfoɔ no dodoɔ a wɔwɔ Lewifoɔ no abusua mu.
3 Count men aged thirty to fifty—all who are entitled to do the work of serving in the Tent of Meeting.
Saa nnipakan yi bɛyɛ mmarima nko ara a wɔadi firi mfeɛ aduasa kɔsi aduonum a wɔbɛtumi ayɛ adwuma wɔ Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan mu.
4 This work that they are to do in the Tent of Meetings involves the things that are most holy.
“Kohat mma no dwumadie ne sɛ wɔbɛhwɛ akronkronneɛ no so wɔ Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no mu.
5 Whenever you move camp, Aaron and his sons will go in, take down the veil, and place it over the Ark of the Testimony.
Sɛ wɔretu afiri atenaeɛ hɔ a, Aaron ne ne mma mmarima na wɔbɛdi ɛkan akɔ Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no mu akɔfa nkatanimu no de akata adaka no ho.
6 On top of this they are to put a fine leather covering, spread a cloth of solid blue over it, and then insert its carrying poles.
Afei, wɔde abirekyie nwoma bɛkata nkatanimu no ho na wɔde ntoma tuntum akata abirekyie nhoma no ho na wɔde nnua a wɔde soa adaka no ahyehyɛ ne nkawa no mu.
7 Have them spread a blue cloth over the table of the Presence as well, and put the plates and cups on it, as well as the bowls and jugs for the drink offering. The current bread offering is to stay on it.
“Afei, wɔmfa ntoma tuntum nsɛ ɛpono a Hyiadan mu Burodo no da so no so, na wɔmfa nyowaa, ntere, dwaresɛn akɛseɛ, nkuruwa ne Burodo no ngu ntoma no so.
8 Over everything they are to spread a crimson cloth, next a fine leather covering, and then insert its carrying poles.
Wɔde ntoma kɔkɔɔ bɛkata so na wɔasane de abirekyie nhoma akata ntoma kɔkɔɔ no so. Na afei, wɔde nnua a wɔde bɛsoa no ahyehyɛ ɛpono no mu.
9 Using a blue cloth, they are to cover the lampstand of light, together with its lamps, wick tongs, and trays, as well as the jars of olive oil used to fill them.
“Afei, ɛsɛ sɛ wɔde ntoma tuntum kata kaneadua no, nkanea no, adaawa no, nkukuo apaawa no ne ngo toa no ho.
10 Then have them wrap it together with all its utensils inside a fine leather covering and place it on the carrying frame.
Saa nneɛma yi nyinaa nso, wɔde abirekyie nhoma bɛkata ho na wɔde nkyekyereeɛ yi nyinaa abɛgu ɛpono so.
11 They are to spread a blue cloth over the gold altar, cover it with fine leather, and then insert its carrying poles.
“Ɛsɛ sɛ wɔde ntoma tuntum kata sikakɔkɔɔ afɔrebukyia no so na wɔsane de abirekyie nhoma kata so bio na wɔde nnua a wɔde soa no hyehyɛ afɔrebukyia no mu.
12 They are to place all the utensils used for the service in the sanctuary in a blue cloth, cover them with fine leather, and place them on the carrying frame.
“Hyiadan no mu som no ho nneɛma a aka no nyinaa, ɛsɛ sɛ wɔde ntoma bibire kyekyere ho a wɔde abirekyie nhoma asane akyekyere ho na wɔde to mpata a wɔde soa no so.
13 Have them clean the ashes from the bronze altar and spread a purple cloth over it,
“Ɛsɛ sɛ wɔtu nsõ no nyinaa firi afɔrebukyia no mu guo, na wɔde ntoma kɔkɔɔ bibire kyekyere ho.
14 and put on it all the equipment used in the services on the altar: the firepans, meat forks, shovels, and sprinkling bowls. Spread over it a fine leather covering and then insert its carrying poles.
Ɛsɛ sɛ wɔde afɔrebukyia no ho ɔsom nneɛma nyinaa gu ntoma no so. Saa nneɛma no ne nkyɛnsee a wɔnoa mu, nsosɔmu, sofi, kyɛnsee kɛseɛ ne nneɛma a wɔkora mu nneɛma gu ntoma no so na wɔde abirekyie nhoma kata ne nyinaa so. Na afei, wɔde nnua a wɔde soa no gu faako a ɛsɛ sɛ wɔde guo.
15 Once Aaron and his sons have finished covering these holy things and all the equipment connected with them, when the camp is ready to move, the priests of the Kohath family are to come and carry them. But they are forbidden to touch anything holy, otherwise they'll die. These are their responsibilities for moving the Tent of Meeting.
“Sɛ Aaron ne ne mma mmarima no wie kronkronbea hɔ nneɛma no anoboa a, Kohat ne nʼabusuafoɔ bɛba abɛsoa akɔ baabiara a wɔretu nneɛma akɔ. Nanso wɔnni ho kwan sɛ wɔde wɔn nsa ka nneɛma a ɛho te no bi. Wɔyɛ saa a, wɔbɛwuwu. Kohat mma na ɛsɛ sɛ wɔsoa nneɛma a ɛwɔ Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no mu.
16 Eleazar, son of Aaron the priest, is to supervise obtaining olive oil for the lamps, the aromatic incense, the daily grain offering, and the anointing oil. He is in charge of the whole Tabernacle and everything in it—all the holy things and equipment.”
“Aaron babarima Eleasa na ɔbɛhwɛ ngo a wɔde bɛsɔ kanea, nnuhwam, daa aduane a wɔde bɔ afɔdeɛ, ɔsra ngo ne Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no nyinaa so. Biribibiara a ɛwɔ Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no mu no nso, ɔbɛhwɛ so.”
17 The Lord told Moses and Aaron,
Afei, Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose ne Aaron sɛ,
18 “Make sure the families of Kohath are not wiped out from the Levites.
“Monntwa Kohatfoɔ abusuakuo no mfiri Lewifoɔ mu.
19 This is what you have to do so that they'll live and won't die by getting too close to something holy. Aaron and his sons must go in and tell each of them what they have to do and what they have to carry.
Sɛ wɔresoa nneɛma a ɛho te no a, deɛ ɛsɛ sɛ wɔyɛ a wɔrenwuwu nie: Ɛsɛ sɛ Aaron ne ne mma mmarima no ne wɔn kɔ hɔ kɔkyerɛ wɔn adeɛ a ɛsɛ sɛ wɔn mu biara soa.
20 But they must not to go in and look at the things that are most holy, even for just a moment, otherwise they'll die.”
Sɛ wɔanyɛ saa a, ɛnsɛ sɛ wɔkɔ kronkronbea hɔ koraa. Sɛ wɔyɛ saa a, wɔbɛhunu nneɛma a ɛho te no na ɛrenkyɛre koraa wɔawuwu.”
21 The Lord told Moses,
Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose sɛ,
22 “Register the descendants of Gershon, according to their family and father's line
“Kan Gerson asefoɔ a wɔfra Lewifoɔ abusua mu no,
23 Count men aged thirty to fifty—all who are entitled to do the work of serving in the Tent of Meeting.
firi mmarima a wɔadi mfeɛ aduasa kɔsi aduonum a wɔbɛtumi ayɛ adwuma kronkron wɔ Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan mu hɔ so.
24 This is how the families of Gershon will serve in terms of working and carrying:
“Gerson mmusua no dwuma a wɔbɛdie nie:
25 Have them carry the Tabernacle curtains, the Tent of Meeting with its fine leather covering, the curtains for the entrance to the Tent of Meeting,
Wɔbɛsoa ntoma a ɛtwa Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan mu hɔ, Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no ankasa ne deɛ ɛkata ho, abirekyie nhoma nkurusoɔ ne ntoma a ɛsɛn Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no ano no.
26 the courtyard curtains, the curtain at the entrance to the courtyard surrounding the Tabernacle and altar, the ropes, and everything connected with their use. The families of Gershon are responsible for everything required involving these items.
Afei, wɔbɛsoa nkataho a ɛkata adihɔ hɔ ɔfasuo no ho no. Wɔbɛsoa ntoma a ɛtwa adihɔ hɔ ɛkwan no ano ne afɔrebukyia ne Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no ntam no. Wɔbɛsoa afɔrebukyia no, ntampehoma ne deɛ ɛkeka ho nyinaa. Wɔn na ɛsɛ sɛ wɔhwɛ, twe yeinom nyinaa.
27 All that they do is to be under the supervision of Aaron and his sons—all their work and carrying assignments. You are to tell them all they are required to carry.
Aaron anaa ne mmammarima no bi tumi ma Gerson asefoɔ no bi dwuma di.
28 These are their responsibilities for moving the Tent of Meeting, carried out under the direction of Ithamar, son of Aaron the priest.
Nanso Gersonfoɔ no bɛhyɛ Aaron Itamar ase.
29 Register the descendants of Merari, according to their family and father's line.
“Afei, kan Merari asefoɔ a wɔfra Lewifoɔ abusua mu no
30 Count men aged thirty to fifty—all who are entitled to do the work of serving in the Tent of Meeting.
ɛfiri mmarima a wɔadi mfeɛ aduasa kɔsi aduonum so a wɔbɛtumi ayɛ adwuma wɔ Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan mu hɔ.
31 This is how they will serve in handling the Tent of Meeting: they are to carry the frames of the Tabernacle with its crossbars, posts, and stands,
Sɛ wɔpagya Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no a, wɔn na ɛsɛ sɛ wɔsoa ne nnyinasoɔ, nnua a ɛsisi mu, ne nsisisoɔ
32 the posts of the surrounding courtyard with their stands, tent pegs, and ropes, all their equipment and everything connected with their use. You are to tell them by name what they are responsible for carrying.
mpunan a wɔde yɛɛ adihɔ hɔ afasuo no ne ne nsisisoɔ, mpɛɛwa, ntampehoma ne biribiara a wɔde di ho dwuma. Fa dwumadie ahodoɔ no hyɛ nnipa a wobɛbobɔ wɔn edin nsa.
33 These are their responsibilities for all their work in moving the Tent of Meeting, carried out under the direction of Ithamar, son of Aaron the priest.”
Merari asefoɔ no, Aaron babarima Itamar na ɔbɛhwɛ wɔn so.”
34 Moses, Aaron, and the Israelite leaders registered the families of Kohath according to their family and father's line.
Enti Mose ne Aaron ne mpanimfoɔ no bi kɔkan Kohatfoɔ
35 They counted men aged thirty to fifty—all who were entitled to do the work of serving in the Tent of Meeting.

47 They counted men aged thirty to fifty—all who were entitled to do the work of serving in the Tent of Meeting and carrying it.
Mmarima a na wɔadi firi mfeɛ aduasa kɔsi mfeɛ aduonum no nyinaa a na wɔfata sɛ wɔyɛ adwuma wɔ Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no mu hɔ no ne wɔn a wɔbɛsoa akɔ no

Awurade hyɛ a ɔhyɛɛ Mose no enti na wɔnam so kanee nnipa no.
