Nehemiah 11

1 And the princes of the people dwelt in Jerusalem; the rest of the people also cast lots, to bring one of ten to dwell in Jerusalem the holy city, and nine parts in the other cities.

Afei, ɔmanfo no ntuanofo kɔtenaa Yerusalem, kuropɔn kronkron no mu. Wɔbɔɔ ntonto kronkron wɔ nnipa no a na wɔtete Yuda ne Benyamin nkurow bi no so, yii mu nkyɛmu du mu baako ma wɔn nso kɔtenaa hɔ. Na nkae no de, wɔtenaa nea wɔte hɔ ara.

2 And the people blessed all the men that willingly offered themselves to dwell in Jerusalem.

Na ɔmanfo no kamfoo obiara a ofi ne pɛ mu san kɔtenaa Yerusalem no.

3 Now these are the chiefs of the province that dwelt in Jerusalem; but in the cities of Judah dwelt every one in his possession in their cities, to wit, Israelites, the priests, and the Levites, and the Nethinim, and the children of Solomon's servants.

Amantam mu mpanyimfo a wɔbaa Yerusalem no din na wɔakyerɛw wɔ ha yi. Ɔmanfo no mu fa kɛse a wɔyɛ asɔfo, Lewifo, Asɔredan mu asomfo ne Salomo asomfo asefo no kɔɔ so tenaa wɔn ankasa afi mu wɔ Yuda nkurow ahorow so,

4 And in Jerusalem dwelt certain of the children of Judah, and of the children of Benjamin. Of the children of Judah: Athaiah the son of Uzziah, the son of Zechariah, the son of Amariah, the son of Shephatiah, the son of Mahalalel, of the children of Perez;

6 All the sons of Perez that dwelt in Jerusalem were four hundred threescore and eight valiant men.

Afei, na Peres asefo ahannan ne aduosia awotwe a wodi mu no na na wɔte Yerusalem.

7 And these are the sons of Benjamin: Sallu the son of Meshullam, the son of Joed, the son of Pedaiah, the son of Kolaiah, the son of Maaseiah, the son of Ithiel, the son of Jeshaiah.

9 And Joel the son of Zichri was their overseer; and Judah the son of Hassenuah was second over the city.

12 and their brethren that did the work of the house, eight hundred twenty and two; and Adaiah the son of Jeroham, the son of Pelaliah, the son of Amzi, the son of Zechariah, the son of Pashhur, the son of Malchijah,

18 All the Levites in the holy city were two hundred fourscore and four.

Na Lewifo a wɔwɔ kuropɔn kronkron no mu no nyinaa dodow si ahannu aduɔwɔtwe anan.

19 Moreover the porters, Akkub, Talmon, and their brethren, that kept watch at the gates, were a hundred seventy and two.

Aponanohwɛfo no ni: Akub, Talmon ne wɔn mfɛfo ɔha aduɔson abien a na wɔwɛn wɔ apon no ano.

20 And the residue of Israel, of the priests, the Levites, were in all the cities of Judah, every one in his inheritance.

Asɔfo a wɔaka no, Lewifo ne Israelfo nkae no tenatenaa Yudaman mu baabiara a wɔn agyapade wɔ.

21 But the Nethinim dwelt in Ophel; and Ziha and Gishpa were over the Nethinim.

Nanso Asɔredan mu asomfo no a na Siha ne Gispa da wɔn ano no de, wɔn nyinaa kɔtenaa Ofel koko so.

22 The overseer also of the Levites at Jerusalem was Uzzi the son of Bani, the son of Hashabiah, the son of Mattaniah, the son of Mica, of the sons of Asaph, the singers, over the business of the house of God.

Na ɔpanyin pa ara a otua Lewifo a wɔwɔ Yerusalem ano no ne Bani babarima Usi, Hasabia babarima, Matania babarima, Mika babarima a ɔyɛ Asaf aseni, na nʼabusuafo som sɛ nnwontofo wɔ Onyankopɔn asɔredan mu no.

23 For there was a commandment from the king concerning them, and a sure ordinance concerning the singers, as every day required.

Na wɔhyɛ ɔhene mmara a ɛkyerɛ nea ɛsɛ sɛ wɔyɛ da biara no ase.

24 And Pethahiah the son of Meshezabel, of the children of Zerah the son of Judah, was at the king's hand in all matters concerning the people.

Mesesabel babarima Petahia a ɔyɛ Yuda babarima Serah aseni no yɛ ɔhene ananmusini wɔ ɔman no amammui mu.

25 And for the villages, with their fields, some of the children of Judah dwelt in Kiriath-arba and the towns thereof, and in Dibon and the towns thereof, and in Jekabzeel and the villages thereof;

Yudafo no bi tenaa Kiriat-Arba ne ne nkuraa, Dibon ne ne nkuraa ne Yekabseel ne ne nkuraa.

26 and in Jeshua, and in Moladah, and Beth-pelet;

Wɔtenatenaa Yesua, Molada, Bet-Pelet,
