Numbers 3
1 THESE also are 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 And these are the names of the sons of Aaron; Nadab the firstborn, 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 sons of Aaron, the priests which were anointed, whom he consecrated to minister in the priest’s 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 offered strange fire before the Lord, in the wilderness of Sinai, and they had no children: and Eleazar and Ithamar ministered in the priest’s 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 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose se:
6 Bring the tribe of Levi near, and present them before Aaron the priest, that they may minister unto him.
“Frɛ Lewifo no, na fa wɔn ma ɔsɔfo Aaron sɛ nʼaboafo.
7 And they shall keep his charge, and the charge of the whole congregation before the tabernacle of the congregation, to do the service of the tabernacle.
Wɔbɛyɛ adwuma wɔ Ahyiae Ntamadan no mu ama ɔsɔfo Aaron ne nnipa no nyinaa.
8 And they shall keep all the instruments of the tabernacle of the congregation, and the charge of the children of Israel, to do the service 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 give the Levites unto Aaron and to his sons: they are wholly given unto him out of 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 sons, and they shall wait on their priest’s office: and the stranger that cometh nigh shall be put to death.
Ma Aaron ne ne mmabarima no nsom sɛ asɔfo; onipa foforo biara a ɔbɛbɛn kronkronbea hɔ no, ɛsɛ sɛ wokum no.”
11 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose se,
12 And I, behold, I have taken the Levites from among the children of Israel instead of all the firstborn that openeth the matrix among the children of Israel: therefore the Levites shall be 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 firstborn are mine; for on the day that I smote all the firstborn in the land of Egypt I hallowed unto me all the firstborn in Israel, both man and beast: mine shall they be: 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 And the Lord spake unto Moses in the wilderness of Sinai, saying,
Afei, Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose wɔ Sinai sare so se,
15 Number the children of Levi after the house of their fathers, by their families: every male from a month old and upward shalt thou number them.
“Kan Lewifo no wɔ wɔn mmusua ne afi mu. Kan ɔbarima biara fi nea wadi ɔsram baako so.”
16 And Moses numbered them according to the word of the Lord, as he was commanded.
Enti Mose kan wɔn sɛnea Awurade hyɛɛ no no.
17 And these were the sons of Levi by their names; Gershon, and Kohath, and Merari.
Eyinom ne Lewi mmabarima: Gerson, Kohat ne Merari.
18 And these are the names of the sons of Gershon by their families; Libni, and Shimei.

Kohat asefo: Amram, Ishar, Hebron ne Usiel.
20 And the sons of Merari by their families; Mahli, and Mushi. These are the families of the Levites according to the house of their fathers.
Merari asefo: Mahli ne Musi. Eyinom ne Lewifo, sɛnea wɔn mmusua ne wɔn afi te.
21 Of Gershon was the family of the Libnites, and the family of the Shimites: these are the families of the Gershonites.

22 Those that were numbered of them, according to the number of all the males, from a month old and upward, even those that were numbered of them were seven thousand and five hundred.
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.
Wɔn atenae wɔ Ahyiae Ntamadan no akyi wɔ atɔe fam.
24 And the chief of the house of the father of the Gershonites shall be Eliasaph the son of Lael.
Na Gersonfo no ntuanoni ne Lael babarima Eliasaf.
25 And the charge of the sons of Gershon in the tabernacle of the congregation shall be the tabernacle, and the tent, the covering thereof, and the hanging for the door 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 hangings of the court, and the curtain for the door of the court, which is by the tabernacle, and by the altar round about, and the cords of it for all the service 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 was the family of the Amramites, and the family of the Izeharites, and the family of the Hebronites, and the family of the Uzzielites: these are the families of the Kohathites.
Kohat asefo yɛ mmusua a wofi Amram, Ishar, Hebron ne Usiel ase.
28 In the number of all the males, from a month old and upward, were eight thousand and six hundred, keeping the charge of the sanctuary.
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 sons of Kohath shall pitch on the side of the tabernacle southward.
Wɔmaa wɔn atenae wɔ Ahyiae Ntamadan no anafo fam.
30 And the chief of the house of the father of the families of the Kohathites shall be Elizaphan the son of Uzziel.
Na Kohatfo ntuanoni no ne Usiel babarima Elisafan.
31 And their charge shall be the ark, and the table, and the candlestick, and the altars, and the vessels of the sanctuary wherewith they minister, and the hanging, and all the service thereof.
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 son of Aaron the priest shall be chief over the chief of the Levites, and have the oversight of them that keep the charge of the sanctuary.
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 was the family of the Mahlites, and the family of the Mushites: these are the families of Merari.
Na Merari asefo no yɛ mmusua a wofi Mahli ne Musi ase.
34 And those that were numbered of them, according to the number of all the males, from a month old and upward, were six thousand and two hundred.
Merarifo mmusua no mu na mmarima a wɔadi ɔsram ne nea ɛboro saa no dodow yɛ mpem asia ne ahannu.
35 And the chief of the house of the father of the families of Merari was Zuriel the son of Abihail: these shall pitch on the side of the tabernacle northward.
Merari abusua no ntuanoni ne Abihail babarima Suriel, na wɔtenaa Ahyiae Ntamadan no atifi fam.
36 And under the custody and charge of the sons of Merari shall be the boards of the tabernacle, and the bars thereof, and the pillars thereof, and the sockets thereof, and all the vessels thereof, and all that serveth 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 And the pillars of the court round about, and their sockets, and their pins, and their cords.
ne mpuran a ɛwɔ adiwo hɔ nyinaa ne ne nsisiso, nnyinaso, ne ntampehama nyinaa, wɔbɛhwɛ so.
38 But those that encamp before the tabernacle toward the east, even before the tabernacle of the congregation eastward, shall be Moses, and Aaron and his sons, keeping the charge of the sanctuary for the charge of the children of Israel; and the stranger that cometh nigh shall be put to death.
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 All that were numbered of the Levites, which Moses and Aaron numbered at the commandment of the Lord, throughout their families, all the males from a month old and upward, were twenty and two 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 unto Moses, Number all the firstborn of the males of the children of Israel from a month old and upward, and take the number 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 the Levites for me (I am the Lord) instead of all the firstborn among the children of Israel; and the cattle of the Levites instead of all the firstlings among the cattle 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 numbered, as the Lord commanded him, all the firstborn among the children of Israel.
Enti Mose kan Israelfo mmakan nyinaa sɛnea Awurade hyɛɛ no no.
43 And all the firstborn males by the number of names, from a month old and upward, of those that were numbered of them, were twenty and two thousand two hundred and threescore and thirteen.
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 unto Moses, saying,
Afei, Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose se,
45 Take the Levites instead of all the firstborn among the children of Israel, and the cattle of the Levites instead of their cattle; and the Levites shall be 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 those that are to be redeemed of the two hundred and threescore and thirteen of the firstborn of the children of Israel, which are more than the Levites;
Ansa na mubegye Israelfo mmakan ahannu aduɔson abiɛsa no a wɔboro Lewifo no dodow so no,
47 Thou shalt even take five shekels apiece by the poll, after the shekel of the sanctuary shalt thou take them: (the shekel is twenty gerahs: )
momma wontua ti ade, sɛnea hyiadan mu nnwetɛbona te, a emu duru yɛ gram aduonum nson.
48 And thou shalt give the money, wherewith the odd number of them is to be redeemed, unto Aaron and to his sons.
Fa ti ade sika no ma Aaron ne ne mma.”
49 And Moses took the redemption money of them that were over and above them that were redeemed by the Levites:
Enti Mose gyigyee Israelfo ahannu aduɔson abiɛsa a na wɔboro Lewifo no dodow so no ti ade.
50 Of the firstborn of the children of Israel took he the money; a thousand three hundred and threescore and five shekels, after the shekel of the sanctuary:
Sika a wogyigyee no nyinaa ano sii dwetɛ kilogram dunum ne fa.
51 And Moses gave the money of them that were redeemed unto Aaron and to his sons, according to the word of the Lord, as the Lord commanded Moses.
Na Mose de maa Aaron ne ne mmabarima sɛnea Awurade hyɛɛ no no.
