22 In the dayes of Eliashib, Ioiada, and Iohanan and Iaddua were the chiefe fathers of the Leuites written, and the Priests in the reigne of Darius the Persian.
Persiahene Dario a ɔtɔ so mmienu ɛberɛ so no, wɔtwerɛɛ Lewifoɔ ne asɔfoɔ mmusua mu ntuanofoɔ no nyinaa din wɔ saa asɔfoɔ mpanimfoɔ yi pɛn so: Eliasib, Yoiada, Yohanan, ne Yadua.
23 The sonnes of Leui, the chiefe fathers were written in the booke of the Chronicles euen vnto the dayes of Iohanan the sonne of Eliashib.
Wɔtwerɛɛ Lewifoɔ mmusua ntuanofoɔ no din guu Abakɔsɛm Nwoma mu kɔsii Eliasib nana Yohanan ɛberɛ so.
24 And the chiefe of the Leuites were Hashabiah, Sherebiah, and Ieshua the sonne of Kadmiel, and their brethren about them to giue prayse and thankes, according to the ordinance of Dauid the man of God, ward ouer against warde.
Yeinom ne Lewifoɔ mmusua ntuanofoɔ: Hasabia, Serebia, Yesua, Binui, Kadmiel ne wɔn mfɛfoɔ bi a, sɛ ɛduru ayɛyie ne aseda afahyɛ so a, wɔgyina hɔ ne wɔn di nhwɛanimu, na ɛfa gye ɛfa so wɔ nnwontoɔ mu, sɛdeɛ Dawid, Onyankopɔn onipa, kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ wɔnyɛ no.
25 Mattaniah and Bakbukiah, Obadiah, Meshullam, Talmon and Akkub were porters keeping the warde at the thresholds of the gates.
Na Matania, Bakbukia ne Obadia nso ka ho. Mesulam, Talmon ne Akub na wɔyɛ aponoanohwɛfoɔ a wɔhwɛ adekoradan a ɛwɔ apono no ano no so.
26 These were in the dayes of Ioiakim, the sonne of Ieshua, the sonne of Iozadak, and in the dayes of Nehemiah the captaine, and of Ezra the Priest and scribe.
Na yeinom nyinaa somm wɔ Yesua babarima Yoiakim a ɔyɛ Yosadak nana ne Nehemia a ɔyɛ amrado ne Ɛsra a na ɔyɛ ɔsɔfoɔ ne mmara no ɔkyerɛkyerɛfoɔ berɛ so.
27 And in the dedication of the wall at Ierusalem they sought the Leuites out of all their places to bring them to Ierusalem to keepe the dedication and gladnes, both with thankesgiuings and with songs, cymbales, violes and with harpes.
Ɛberɛ a wɔredwira Yerusalem ɔfasuo foforɔ no ho no, wɔka kyerɛɛ Lewifoɔ a wɔwɔ asase no so nyinaa sɛ, wɔmmra Yerusalem mmɛboa dwumadie no. Na ɛsɛ sɛ wɔde kyankyan, mmɛnta ne asankuten to wɔn aseda nnwom de hyɛ anigyeɛ fa no.
28 Then the singers gathered themselues together both from the plaine countrey about Ierusalem, and from the villages of Netophathi,
Wɔde nnwomtofoɔ no firi Yerusalem ne ne nkuraaseɛ ne Netofafoɔ nkuraaseɛ nyinaa bɔɔ mu baeɛ.
29 And from the house of Gilgal, and out of the countreis of Geba, and Azmaueth: for the singers had built them villages round about Ierusalem.
Ebi nso firi Bet-Gilgal ne Geba pɔ mu hɔ ne Asmawet, ɛfiri sɛ, na nnwomtofoɔ no ara akyekyere wɔn ankasa nkuraa afa Yerusalem ho ahyia.
30 And the Priests and Leuites were purified, and clensed the people, and the gates, and the wall.
Asɔfoɔ no ne Lewifoɔ no dwiraa wɔn ho, afei wɔdwiraa ɔmanfoɔ no ho, dwiraa apono no ne ɔfasuo no nso ho.
31 And I brought vp the princes of Iudah vpon the wall, and appointed two great companies to giue thankes, and the one went on the right hand of the wall toward the dung gate.
Medii Yuda ntuanofoɔ no anim kɔɔ ɔfasuo no atifi, na meboaboaa nnwomtofoɔ akuo akɛseɛ mmienu ano, ma wɔbɛdaa ase. Nnwontofoɔ ekuo no mu baako kɔɔ anafoɔ wɔ ɔfasuo no atifi kɔsii Sumina Ɛpono no.
32 And after them went Hoshaiah, and halfe of the princes of Iudah,
Hosaia ne Yuda ntuanofoɔ no mu fa dii wɔn akyi,
33 And Azariah, Ezra and Meshullam,
na Asaria, Ɛsra, Mesulam,
34 Iudah, Beniamin, and Shemaiah, and Ieremiah,
Yuda, Benyamin, Semaia, Yeremia
35 And of the Priests sonnes with trumpets, Zechariah the sonne of Ionathan, the sonne of Shemaiah, the sonne of Mattaniah, the sonne of Michaiah, the sonne of Zaccur, ye sonne of Asaph.
ne asɔfoɔ no bi a wɔhyɛne totorobɛnto no dii wɔn akyi. Ɛno akyi na Yonatan babarima Sakaria, Semaia babarima, Matania babarima, Mikaia babarima, Sakur babarima a ɔyɛ Asaf aseni no di hɔ.
36 And his brethren, Shemaiah, and Azareel, Milalai, Gilalai, Maai, Nethaneel, and Iudah, Hanani, with the musicall instruments of Dauid the man of God: and Ezra the scribe went before them.
Ne korakora no, Sakaria mfɛfoɔ a wɔne Semaia, Asarel, Milalai, Gilalai, Maai, Netanel, Yuda ne Hanani dii wɔn so. Wɔfaa nnwontodeɛ a Dawid a ɔyɛ Onyankopɔn onipa akyerɛ sɛ wɔmfa no. Na Ɛsra a ɔyɛ mmara no ɔkyerɛkyerɛfoɔ no na ɔdii santen no anim.
37 And to the gate of the fountaine, euen ouer against them went they vp by the staires of the citie of Dauid, at the going vp of the wall beyond the house of Dauid, euen vnto the water gate Eastward.
Wɔfaa nsuo Aniwa Ɛpono no ho, kɔɔ tee kɔforoo kuropɔn no ɔfasuo atwedeɛ a ɛkyerɛ Dawid kuropɔn no. Wɔfaa Dawid efie ho, kɔsii Nsuo Ɛpono a ɛwɔ apueeɛ fam no ho.
38 And the seconde companie of them that gaue thankes, went on the other side, and I after them, and the halfe of the people was vpon the wall, and vpon the towre of the furnaces euen vnto the broad wall.
Nnwontofoɔ a wɔtɔ so mmienu no faa atifi ɛkwan kɔhyiaa wɔn. Me ne ɔmanfoɔ no mu fa dii wɔn akyi. Yɛfaa ɔfasuo no so nam Fononoo Abantenten no ho kɔsii Ɔfasuo Tɛtrɛtɛ no,
39 And vpon the gate of Ephraim, and vpon the olde gate, and vpon the fishgate, and the towre of Hananeel, and the towre of Meah, euen vnto the sheepegate: and they stood in the gate of the warde.
afei yɛtwaa Efraim Ɛpono no ho, kɔsii Kuropɔn Dada Ɛpono no, yɛfaa Mpataa Ɛpono no ho, kɔsii Hananel Abantenten ho kɔɔ Ɔha Abantenten no ho. Yɛtoaa so kɔɔ Nnwan Ɛpono no ho, na yɛkɔgyinaa Ɔwɛn Ɛpono ano.
40 So stood the two companies (of them that gaue thankes) in the house of God, and I and the halfe of the rulers with me.
Nnwontokuo mmienu a na wɔreda ase no kɔɔ Awurade Asɔredan mu kɔtenatenaa ase. Me nso me ne akuo ntuanofoɔ a na wɔka me ho no yɛɛ saa ara.
41 The Priests also, Eliakim, Maaseiah, Miniamin, Michaiah, Elioenai, Zechariah, Hananiah, with trumpets,
Yɛne asɔfoɔ a na wɔhyɛn totorobɛnto a wɔne Eliakim, Maaseia, Miniamin, Mikaia, Elioenai, Sakaria, Hanania
42 And Maaseiah, and Shemaiah, and Eleazar, and Vzzi, and Iehohanan, and Malchiiah, and Elam, and Ezer: and the singers sang loude, hauing Izrahiah which was the ouerseer.
ne nnwomtofoɔ Maaseia, Semaia, Eleasa, Usi, Yehohanan, Malkia, Elam ne Eser na yɛbɔɔ mu kɔeɛ. Wɔtoo nnwom denden so a na dwomkyerɛfoɔ Yisrahia rema wɔn akwankyerɛ.
43 And the same day they offered great sacrifices and reioyced: for God had giuen them great ioy, so that both the women, and the children were ioyfull: and the ioy of Ierusalem was heard farre off.
Saa anigyeɛ da no, wɔbɔɔ afɔdeɛ bebree, ɛfiri sɛ, na Onyankopɔn ayɛ biribi ama wɔn a enti ɛsɛ sɛ wɔma wɔn ani gyeɛ. Mmaa ne mmɔfra nyinaa de wɔn ho hyɛɛ afahyɛ no mu, na ɔmanfoɔ a wɔwɔ Yerusalem no osebɔ no duruu akyirikyiri.
44 Also at the same time were men appointed ouer the chambers of the store for the offerings (for the first fruites, and for the tithes) to gather into them out of the fieldes of the cities, the portions of the Law for the Priests and the Leuites: for Iudah reioyced for the Priests and for the Leuites, that serued.
Ɛda no, wɔyii mmarima sɛ wɔnhwɛ adekoradan a wɔde akyɛdeɛ, otwakane ne ntotosoɔ dudu gu mu no so. Na ɛyɛ wɔn asɛdeɛ sɛ wɔkɔgyegye firi mfuo mu, sɛdeɛ asɔfoɔ ne Lewifoɔ mmara kyerɛ no, ɛfiri sɛ, na asɔfoɔ ne Lewifoɔ ne wɔn dwumadie no ho hia Yudafoɔ nyinaa yie.
45 And both the singers and the Leuites kept the ward of their God, and the warde of the purification according to the commandement of Dauid, and Salomon his sonne.
Wɔyɛɛ wɔn Onyankopɔn som no ne ahodwira som no pɛpɛɛpɛ, sɛdeɛ Dawid ne ne babarima Salomo mmara kyerɛ no, na saa ara nso na nnwomtofoɔ no ne aponoanohwɛfoɔ no yɛeɛ.
46 For in the dayes of Dauid and Asaph, of olde were chiefe singers, and songs of praise and thankesgiuing vnto God.
Amammerɛ a wɔma nnwomtofoɔ akwankyerɛfoɔ di nnwomtofoɔ no anim wɔ nkamfo ne aseda nnwom a wɔto de ma Onyankopɔn no hyɛɛ aseɛ firii Dawid ne Asaf berɛ so.
47 And in the dayes of Zerubbabel, and in the dayes of Nehemiah did al Israel giue portions vnto the singers and porters, euerie day his portion, and they gaue the holy things vnto the Leuites, and the Leuites gaue the holy things vnto the sonnes of Aaron.
Enti, ɛfiri Serubabel ne Nehemia berɛ so no, na daa ɔmanfoɔ brɛ nnwomtofoɔ no ne aponoanohwɛfoɔ ne Lewifoɔ no nnuane. Na Lewifoɔ no nso de deɛ wɔnya no mu bi ma asɔfoɔ a wɔyɛ Aaron asefoɔ no.
