Numbers 1
1 The Lord spoke to Moses in the Tent of Meeting while they were in the Sinai desert. This was on the first day of the second month of the second year after the Israelites had left Egypt. He told him,
Awurade kasa kyerɛɛ Mose wɔ Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan a ɛwɔ Sinai anweatam so. Yei siiɛ wɔ mfeɛ mmienu a Israelfoɔ firii Misraim no akyi, ɔbosome a ɛtɔ so mmienu no no ɛda a ɛdi ɛkan. Ɔkaa sɛ:
2 “Census all the Israelites according to their tribe and family. Count every man and keep a record of each individual's name.
“Gyina Israelfoɔ no mmusuakuo ne wɔn mmusua so kan wɔn nyinaa. Twerɛ ɔbarima biara din.
3 Those aged twenty or older who can do military service are to be registered by you and Aaron in their Israelite army divisions.
Wo ne Aaron na mobɛkan mmarima a wɔadi mfeɛ aduonu no ne deɛ ɛboro saa a wɔtumi kɔ ɔsa.
4 A representative from each tribe, the head of a family, must be there with you.
Ɔbarima a ɔfiri abusuakuo biara mu a ɔyɛ ntuanoni na ɔbɛboa mo.

Mmusua a wɔwɔ Lewi abusuakuo no deɛ, wɔankan wɔn anka wɔn a aka no ho.
48 This was because the Lord had told Moses,
Na Awurade aka akyerɛ Mose sɛ,
49 “Don't register the tribe of Levi; don't count them in the census with the other Israelites.
“Nkan Lewifoɔ abusuakuo no, na mfa wɔn nka Israelfoɔ a wɔaka no ho.
50 Put the Levites in charge of the Tabernacle and of the Testimony, as well as all its furniture and everything it contains. They are the ones responsible for carrying the Tabernacle and all its items. They are to care for it, and to make their camp around it.
Fa Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no ho dwumadie hyɛ Lewifoɔ no nsa. Wɔnhwɛ nneɛma a wɔde asiesie mu ne deɛ ɛkeka ho nyinaa so. Wɔn na wɔbɛsoa Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no ne emu nneɛma, wɔbɛhwɛ so na wɔatenatena ho.
51 When it's time to move the Tabernacle, the Levites shall take it down, and when it's time to make camp, the Levites shall put it up. Any outsider who goes near it must be put to death.
Ɛberɛ biara a ɛsɛ sɛ wɔtu Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no, Lewifoɔ no na ɛsɛ sɛ wɔtutu, na baabiara a wɔde bɛsi no, wɔn na wɔbɛyɛ. Onipa foforɔ biara a ɔbɛbɛn ho no, wɔbɛkum no.
52 The Israelites are to make camp according to their tribal divisions, each person in their own camp under their own flag.
Israel abusuakuo biara bɛnya nʼatenaeɛ ne ne frankaa.
53 But the Levites are to set up their camp around the Tabernacle of the Testimony to stop anyone making me angry with the Israelites. The Levites are responsible for looking after the Tabernacle of the Testimony.”
Lewifoɔ no bɛsisi wɔn ntomadan atwa Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no ho ahyia, sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a Onyankopɔn abufuhyeɛ remma Israelfoɔ no so. Lewifoɔ no na wɔbɛhwɛ Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no so.”
54 The Israelites did everything that the Lord ordered Moses that they should do.
Israelfoɔ no yɛɛ yeinom nyinaa sɛdeɛ Awurade hyɛɛ Mose no.
