< Numbers 3 >

1 These also were the generations of Aaron and Moses, in the day that the Lord spake with Moses in mount Sinai.
Eyi ne nea ɛfa Aaron ne Mose mmusua ho bere a Awurade kasa kyerɛɛ Mose wɔ Sinai Bepɔw so no.
2 So these are the names of the sonnes of Aaron, Nadab the first borne, and Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.
Aaron mmabarima din na edidi so yi: Nadab, nʼabakan, Abihu, Eleasar ne Itamar.
3 These are the names of the sonnes of Aaron the anoynted Priests, whom Moses did consecrate to minister in the Priests office.
Eyinom ne Aaron mma a wɔasra wɔn ngo na wɔayi wɔn asi hɔ sɛ asɔfo.
4 And Nadab and Abihu died before the Lord, when they offred strange fire before the Lord in the wildernesse of Sinai, and had no children: but Eleazar and Ithamar serued in ye Priestes office in the sight of Aaron their father.
Nadab ne Abihu de, wowuwuu wɔ Awurade anim bere a wɔhyew afɔrebɔde wɔ ogya a ɛmfata so wɔ Sinai sare so no. Na wonni mma nti, Eleasar ne Itamar nko ara na wɔsom sɛ asɔfo, bere a wɔn agya Aaron te ase no.
5 Then the Lord spake vnto Moses, saying,
Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose se:
6 Bring the tribe of Leui, and set the before Aaron the Priest that they may serue him,
“Frɛ Lewifo no, na fa wɔn ma ɔsɔfo Aaron sɛ nʼaboafo.
7 And take the charge with him, euen the charge of the whole Congregation before the Tabernacle of the Congregation to doe the seruice of the Tabernacle.
Wɔbɛyɛ adwuma wɔ Ahyiae Ntamadan no mu ama ɔsɔfo Aaron ne nnipa no nyinaa.
8 They shall also keepe all the instruments of the Tabernacle of the Congregation, and haue the charge of the children of Israel to doe the seruice of the Tabernacle.
Afei, wɔbɛhwɛ nneɛma a wɔde siesie Ahyiae Ntamadan mu no so de asi Israelfo no anan mu ayɛ asodi a wɔyɛ wɔ Ahyiae Ntamadan no mu.
9 And thou shalt giue the Leuites vnto Aaron and to his sonnes: for they are giuen him freely from among the children of Israel.
Fa Lewifo no ma Aaron ne ne mmabarima; wɔn ne Israelfo a wɔde wɔn bɛma no korakora.
10 And thou shalt appoint Aaron and his sonnes to execute their Priestes office: and the stranger that commeth neere, shalbe slayne.
Ma Aaron ne ne mmabarima no nsom sɛ asɔfo; onipa foforo biara a ɔbɛbɛn kronkronbea hɔ no, ɛsɛ sɛ wokum no.”
11 Also the Lord spake vnto Moses, saying,
Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose se,
12 Beholde, I haue euen taken the Leuites from among the childre of Israel: for al the first borne that openeth the matrice among the children of Israel, and the Leuites shalbe mine,
“Mayi Lewifo no afi Israelfo no mu de wɔn asi Israel babea biara abakan a ɔyɛ ɔbarima anan mu. Lewifo no yɛ me de,
13 Because all the first borne are mine: for the same day, that I smote all the first borne in the land of Egypt, I sanctified vnto me all the first borne in Israel, both man and beast: mine they shalbe: I am the Lord.
efisɛ abakan biara wɔ me. Bere a mikunkum mmakan wɔ Misraim no, migyaw Israel mmakan, sɛ wɔyɛ nnipa anaa mmoa. Wɔyɛ me dea. Mene Awurade.”
14 Moreouer, the Lord spake vnto Moses in the wildernesse of Sinai, saying,
Afei, Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose wɔ Sinai sare so se,
15 Nomber the children of Leui after the houses of their fathers, in their families: euery male from a moneth olde and aboue shalt thou nomber.
“Kan Lewifo no wɔ wɔn mmusua ne afi mu. Kan ɔbarima biara fi nea wadi ɔsram baako so.”
16 Then Moses nombred them according to the word of the Lord, as he was commanded.
Enti Mose kan wɔn sɛnea Awurade hyɛɛ no no.
17 And these are the sonnes of Leui by their names, Gershon, and Kohath, and Merari.
Eyinom ne Lewi mmabarima: Gerson, Kohat ne Merari.
18 Also these are the names of the sonnes of Gershon by their families: Libni and Shimei.

21 Of Gershon came the familie of the Libnites, and the familie of the Shimeites: these are the families of the Gershonites.
Gerson asefo no na wɔyɛ mmusua a wofi Libni ne Simei ase.
22 The summe whereof (after the nomber of all the males from a moneth olde and aboue) was counted seuen thousand and fiue hundreth.
Na Gersonfo mmarima a wɔadi ɔsram ne nea ɛboro saa a wofi Gerson mmusua mu no dodow yɛ mpem ahanson ne ahannum.
23 The families of the Gershonites shall pitch behind the Tabernacle westward.

24 The captaine and auncient of the house of the Gershonites shalbe Eliasaph the sonne of Lael.

25 And the charge of the sonnes of Gershon in the Tabernacle of the Congregation shall be the Tabernacle, and the pauilion, the couering thereof, and the vaile of the dore of the Tabernacle of the Congregation,
Saa mmusua abien yi na na wɔhwɛ Ahyiae Ntamadan no ne ne nkataho no ne ɔkwan nkataano no so.
26 And the hanging of the court, and the vaile of the doore of the court, which is neere the Tabernacle, and neere ye Altar round about, and the cordes of it for all the seruice thereof.
Afei, na wɔhwɛ adiwo nkataano a etwa Ahyiae Ntamadan no ho ne afɔremuka ne adiwo nkataano nhoma ne ɛhɔ nneɛma a wɔde di dwuma ahorow no nyinaa so.
27 And of Kohath came the familie of the Amramites, and the familie of the Izeharites, and the familie of the Hebronites, and the familie of the Vzzielites: these are the families of the Kohathites.
Kohat asefo yɛ mmusua a wofi Amram, Ishar, Hebron ne Usiel ase.
28 The nomber of all the males from a moneth olde and aboue was eight thousand and sixe hundreth, hauing the charge of the Sanctuarie.
Na Kehat mmusua no mu mmarima a wɔadi ɔsram ne nea ɛboro saa no dodow yɛ mpem awotwe ne ahansia. Wɔn na na wɔhwɛ kronkronbea no so.
29 The families of the sonnes of Kohath shall pitch on the Southside of the Tabernacle.
Wɔmaa wɔn atenae wɔ Ahyiae Ntamadan no anafo fam.
30 The captaine and auncient of the house, and families of the Kohathites shall be Elizaphan the sonne of Vzziel:
Na Kohatfo ntuanoni no ne Usiel babarima Elisafan.
31 And their charge shalbe the Arke, and the Table, and the Candlesticke, and the altars, and the instruments of the Sanctuarie that they minister with, and the vaile, and all that serueth thereto.
Saa mmusua anan yi na na wɔhwɛ apam adaka, ɔpon, kaneadua, afɔremuka ahorow, ne nea ɛkeka ho a na wɔde di dwuma wɔ kronkronbea hɔ, mfimfini ntwamtam ne nneɛma a wɔde di dwuma ahorow wɔ hɔ nyinaa no so.
32 And Eleazar the sonne of Aaron the Priest shalbe chiefe captaine of the Leuites, hauing the ouersight of them that haue the charge of the Sanctuarie.
Aaron babarima ɔsɔfo Eleasar no na na ɔyɛ ɔpanyin wɔ Lewifo no nyinaa so. Ɔyɛɛ no panyin wɔ asɔfo a wɔhwɛ kronkronbea no so.
33 Of Merari came the familie of the Mahlites, and the familie of the Mushites: these are the families of Merari.
Na Merari asefo no yɛ mmusua a wofi Mahli ne Musi ase.
34 And the summe of them, according to the nomber of all the males, from a moneth olde and aboue was sixe thousand and two hundreth.
Merarifo mmusua no mu na mmarima a wɔadi ɔsram ne nea ɛboro saa no dodow yɛ mpem asia ne ahannu.
35 The captaine and the ancient of the house of the families of Merari shalbe Zuriel the sonne of Abihail: they shall pitche on the Northside of the Tabernacle.
Merari abusua no ntuanoni ne Abihail babarima Suriel, na wɔtenaa Ahyiae Ntamadan no atifi fam.
36 And in ye charge and custodie of the sonnes of Merari shall be the boardes of the Tabernacle, and the barres thereof, and his pillars, and his sockets, and al the instruments therof, and al that serueth thereto,
Dwumadi a wɔde hyɛɛ saa mmusuakuw abien yi nsa ne sɛ, wɔbɛhwɛ Ahyiae Ntamadan no nnyinaso so. Afei, wɔbɛhwɛ mmeamu nnua, mpuran, nsisiso ne ɛho nneɛma a wɔde di dwuma no nyinaa,
37 With the pillars of the court round about, with their sockets, and their pins and their coardes.
ne mpuran a ɛwɔ adiwo hɔ nyinaa ne ne nsisiso, nnyinaso, ne ntampehama nyinaa, wɔbɛhwɛ so.
38 Also on the forefront of the Tabernacle toward the East, before the Tabernacle, I say, of the Congregation Eastwarde shall Moses and Aaron and his sonnes pitch, hauing the charge of the Sanctuarie, and the charge of the children of Israel: but the stranger that commeth neere, shall be slayne.
Ahyiae Ntamadan no apuei fam, nea owia pue fi no, wogyaw maa Mose ne Aaron ne ne mmabarima sɛ wonsisi wɔn ntamadan wɔ hɔ. Saa nnipa yi na na wosi Israelfo no anan mu di Ahyiae Ntamadan no ho dwuma nyinaa. Obi foforo biara a ɔbɛbɛn kronkronbea hɔ no, ɛsɛ sɛ wokum no.
39 The wholesumme of ye Leuites, which Moses and Aaron nombred at the commandement of the Lord throughout their families, euen al the males from a moneth olde and aboue, was two and twentie thousand.
Lewifo a Awurade hyɛɛ Mose ne Aaron sɛ wɔnkan wɔn sɛnea wɔn mmusua te a ɔbarima biara a wɔadi ɔsram ne nea ɛboro saa ka ho no dodow yɛ mpem aduonu abien.
40 And the Lord said vnto Moses, Nomber all the first borne that are Males among the children of Israel, from a moneth old and aboue, and take the nomber of their names.
Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose se, “Kan Israelfo mmakan a wɔyɛ mmarima na wɔadi ɔsram ne nea ɛboro saa no, na kyerɛw wɔn din.
41 And thou shalt take ye Leuites to me for all the first borne of the children of Israel (I am the Lord) and the cattell of the Leuites for all the first borne of the cattell of the children of Israel.
Lewifo no bɛyɛ me de. Ma wonsi Israelfo mmakan nyinaa anan mu, na Lewifo nyɛmmoa mmakan nsi Israelfo nyɛmmoa mmakan anan mu. Mene Awurade.”
42 And Moses nombred, as the Lord commanded him, all the first borne of the children of Israel.
Enti Mose kan Israelfo mmakan nyinaa sɛnea Awurade hyɛɛ no no.
43 And all the first borne males rehearsed by name (from a moneth olde and aboue) according to their nomber were two and twentie thousand, two hundreth seuentie and three.
Mmakan mmarima a wɔadi ɔsram ne nea ɛboro saa no a ɔkyerɛw wɔn din no ano si mpem aduonu abien ahannu ne aduɔson abiɛsa.
44 And the Lord spake vnto Moses, saying,
Afei, Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose se,
45 Take the Leuites for all the first borne of the children of Israel, and the cattell of the Leuites for their cattel, and the Leuites shalbe mine, (I am the Lord)
“Ma Lewifo nsi Israelfo mmakan anan mu. Na Lewifo nyɛmmoa mmakan nso nsi Israelfo nyɛmmoa mmakan anan mu. Lewifo yɛ me dea. Mene Awurade.
46 And for the redeeming of the two hundreth seuentie and three, (which are moe then the Leuites) of the first borne of the children of of Israel,
Ansa na mubegye Israelfo mmakan ahannu aduɔson abiɛsa no a wɔboro Lewifo no dodow so no,
47 Thou shalt also take fiue shekels for euery person: after the weight of the Sanctuarie shalt thou take it: ye shekel conteineth twenty gerahs.
momma wontua ti ade, sɛnea hyiadan mu nnwetɛbona te, a emu duru yɛ gram aduonum nson.
48 And thou shalt giue the money, wherwith the odde nomber of them is redeemed, vnto Aaron and to his sonnes.
Fa ti ade sika no ma Aaron ne ne mma.”
49 Thus Moses tooke the redemption of the that were redeemed, being more then the Leuites:
Enti Mose gyigyee Israelfo ahannu aduɔson abiɛsa a na wɔboro Lewifo no dodow so no ti ade.
50 Of the first borne of the children of Israel tooke he the mony: eue a thousand three hundreth three score and fiue shekels after the shekel of the Sanctuarie.
Sika a wogyigyee no nyinaa ano sii dwetɛ kilogram dunum ne fa.
51 And Moses gaue the money of them that were redeemed, vnto Aaron and to his sonnes according to the word of the Lord, as the Lord had commanded Moses.
Na Mose de maa Aaron ne ne mmabarima sɛnea Awurade hyɛɛ no no.
