1 Chronicles 9
1 So all Israel were recorded by their genealogies, and, behold, they are written in the book of the Kings of Israel; but [the men of] Judah were carried away into exile to Babylon for their unfaithfulness.
Wɔtwerɛɛ Israel abusuadua biara mu nnipa din guu Israel ne Yuda Ahemfo nwoma mu. Esiane sɛ na Yudafoɔ no nni Awurade nokorɛ no enti, wɔtwaa wɔn asuo kɔɔ Babilonia.
2 And the first inhabitants that [dwelt again] in their possessions in their cities, were the Israelites, the priests, the Levites, and the temple-servants.
Wɔn a wɔsane baeɛ bɛfaa wɔn agyapadeɛ wɔ wɔn nkuro dada mu no yɛ Israelfoɔ bi, asɔfoɔ, Lewifoɔ ne asɔredan mu aboafoɔ.
3 And in Jerusalem dwelt some of the children of Judah, and of the children of Benjamin, and of the children of Ephraim, and Menasseh.
Nnipa a wɔfiri Yuda, Benyamin, Efraim ne Manase mmusuakuo mu ba bɛtenaa Yerusalem no yɛ:
4 'Uthai the son of 'Ammihud, the son of 'Omri, the son of Imri, the son of Bani, of the children of Perez the son of Judah.

5 And of the Shilonites: 'Assayah the first-born, and his sons.
Wɔn a wɔfiri Silonfoɔ abusua mu no yɛ: Asaia a ɔyɛ abakan no ne ne mmammarima.
6 And of the sons of Zerach: Je'uel, and their brethren, six hundred and ninety.
Serah abusua mu no: Yeuel ne nʼabusuafoɔ na wɔsane baeɛ. Yuda abusuakuo no mu mmusua ahansia aduɔkron na wɔsane baeɛ.
7 And of the sons of Benjamin: Sallu the son of Meshullam, the son of Hodavyah, the son of Hassenuah,

9 And their brethren, according to their generations, nine hundred and fifty and six. All these men were chiefs of the divisions of their family divisions.
Saa mmarima yi nyinaa, na wɔyɛ mmusua ntuanofoɔ, na wɔatwerɛ wɔn din wɔ wɔn mmusuakuo mmusuadua nwoma mu. Benyamin abusuakuo mu mmusua aha nkron ne aduonum nsia na wɔsane baeɛ.
10 And of the priests: Jeda'yah, and Jehoyarib, and Jachin.
Asɔfoɔ a wɔsane baeɛ no bi ne: Yedaia, Yehoriarib, Yakin;
11 And 'Azaryah the son of Chilkiyah, the son of Meshullam, the son of Zadok, the son of Merayoth, the son of Actitub, the ruler of the house of God.
Asaria a ɔyɛ Hilkia babarima, a ɔno nso yɛ Mesulam babarima, na ɔno nso yɛ Sadok babarima, na ɔno nso yɛ Meraiot babarima, na ɔno nso yɛ Ahitub babarima. Na Asaria yɛ Onyankopɔn fie ahwɛfoɔ so panin.
12 And 'Adayah the son of Jerocham, the son of Pashchur, the son of Malkiyah, and Ma'sai the son of 'Adiel, the son of Jachzerah, the son of Meshullam, the son of Meshillemith, the son of Immer:
Asɔfoɔ a wɔsane baeɛ no bi ne Adaia a ɔyɛ Yeroham babarima, a na ɔno nso yɛ Pashur babarima, na ɔno nso yɛ Malkia babarima ne Masai a ɔyɛ Adiel babarima, na ɔno nso yɛ Yahsera babarima, na ɔno nso yɛ Mesulam babarima, a ɔno nso yɛ Mesilemit babarima, na ɔno nso yɛ Imer babarima.
13 And their brethren, chiefs of their family divisions, were one thousand and seven hundred and sixty, very able men for the work of the service of the house of God.
Asɔfoɔ a wɔsane baeɛ nyinaa dodoɔ yɛ apem ahanson aduosia. Na wɔyɛ mmusua ntuanofoɔ a wɔyɛ nsiyɛfoɔ. Na wɔn adwuma ne sɛ, wɔsom wɔ Onyankopɔn fie.
14 And of the Levites: Shema'yah the son of Chasshub, the son of 'Azrikam, the son of Chashabyah, of the sons of Merari;
Lewifoɔ a wɔsane baeɛ no yɛ: Semaia a ɔyɛ Hasub babarima, a na ɔyɛ Asrikam babarima, a na ɔno nso yɛ Hasabia babarima, a na ɔyɛ Merari aseni;
15 And Bakbakkar, Cheresh, and Galal, and Matthanyah the son of Micha, the son of Zichri, the son of Assaph;
Bakbakar; Heres; Galal; Mika babarima Matania a ɔyɛ Sikri babarima, na ɔno nso yɛ Asaf babarima,
16 And 'Obadiah the son of Shema'yah, the son of Galal, the son of Jeduthun; and Berechyah the son of Assa, the son of Elkanah, that dwelt in the villages of the Netophathites.
Obadia a ɔyɛ Semaia babarima, a ɔyɛ Galal babarima, na ɔno nso yɛ Yedutun babarima, ne Asa a ɔyɛ Elkana babarima Berekia a wɔtenaa Netofa asase so.
17 And the gatekeepers were Shallum, and 'Akkub, and Talmon, and Achiman, and their brethren, Shallum being the chief;
Apono anohwɛfoɔ a wɔsane baeɛ no yɛ: Salum, Akub, Talmon, Ahiman ne wɔn mmusuafoɔ. Salum na na ɔyɛ ɔpono ano hwɛfoɔ panin.
18 And up to this time they are in the king's gate to the eastward: they are the gatekeepers for the camps of the children of Levi.
Kane no nso, na anka wɔn na wɔhwɛ ɔhene ɛpono a ɛkyerɛ apueeɛ fam no so. Na saa mmarima no som sɛ Lewifoɔ atenaeɛ apono ano ahwɛfoɔ.
19 And Shallum the son of Kore, the son of Ebyassaph, the son of Korach, and his brethren, of the house of his father, the Korchites, being over the work of the service, were the watchmen at the threshold of the tabernacle: and their fathers, being over the camp of the Lord, were the watchmen at the entrance [thereof].
Na Salum yɛ Kore babarima a ɔyɛ Ebiasaf a ɔfiri Kora abusua mu aseni. Na ɔne nʼabusuafoɔ a wɔyɛ Korafoɔ no na na wɔwɛn ɛkwan a ɛkɔ kronkronbea hɔ no, sɛdeɛ na wɔn mpanimfoɔ wɛnee Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan wɔ Awurade atenaeɛ hɔ no.
20 And Phinehas the son of El'azar was the ruler over them in times past; [and] the Lord was with him.
Eleasa babarima Pinehas na kane no na ɔhwɛ apono ano ahwɛfoɔ no so, na Awurade ka ne ho.
21 [And] Zechariah the son of Meshelemyah was gatekeeper at the entrance of the tabernacle of the congregation.
Akyire no, Meselemia babarima Sakaria na na ɔwɛn ɛkwan a ɛkɔ Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no mu no ano.
22 All of these selected to be gatekeepers at the thresholds were two hundred and twelve. These were recorded according to their genealogy in their villages; [and they were] those [whom] David and Samuel the seer did ordain in their trust.
Ne nyinaa mu, saa ɛberɛ no, na apono ano ahwɛfoɔ no dodoɔ yɛ ahanu ne dumienu a na wɔatwerɛ wɔn din wɔ wɔn mmusuadua nkrataa mu wɔ wɔn nkuraaseɛ. Dawid ne Samuel a na ɔyɛ ɔdehunufoɔ no yiyii wɔn agyanom, ɛfiri sɛ na wɔyɛ nokwafoɔ.
23 Both they and their children had the oversight over the gates of the house of the Lord, [namely, ] the house of the tabernacle, as watches.
Saa apono ano ahwɛfoɔ yi ne wɔn asefoɔ no, na wɔkyekyɛ wɔn mu kɔwɛn ɛkwan a ɛkɔ Awurade efie, a kane no na ɛyɛ ntomadan no ano.
24 On four quarters were the gatekeepers, toward the east, the west, the north, and the south.
Wɔde apono ano ahwɛfoɔ no gyinagyinaa afanan no nyinaa a ɛyɛ apueeɛ, atɔeɛ, atifi ne anafoɔ.
25 And their brethren, who were in their villages, had to come after every seven days from time to time in common with these.
Ɛberɛ-ano-berɛ-ano, na wɔn abusuafoɔ a wɔwɔ nkuraaseɛ no bɛboa wɔn wɔ wɔn nnanson nnanson dwumadie mu.
26 For in [their] trust were these four chief gatekeepers— these Levites, and they were [appointed] over the chambers and treasuries of the house of God.
Saa apono ano ahwɛfoɔ mpanimfoɔ baanan a na wɔyɛ Lewifoɔ no, na wɔn adwuma no yɛ deɛ ɛkura asodie kɛseɛ, ɛfiri sɛ, wɔn na na wɔhwɛ adan ne sikakoradan a ɛwɔ Onyankopɔn fie hɔ no so.
27 And they lodged round about the house of God; because upon them rested the duty of watching, and they had the supervision of the opening thereof each and every morning.
Wɔwɛn Onyankopɔn fie hɔ anadwo, ɛfiri sɛ, na ɛyɛ wɔn asɛdeɛ. Afei, na ɛyɛ wɔn adwuma sɛ da biara anɔpa wɔbuebue apono no.
28 And some of them had the charge of the vessels for the service; for by number did they bring them in, and by number did they carry them out.
Na apono ano ahwɛfoɔ no bi adwuma ne sɛ wɔhwɛ nneɛma ahodoɔ a wɔde yɛ ɔsom adwuma no so. Sɛ wɔrekɔfa, na wɔresane de akɔgu hɔ no nyinaa a, wɔhwɛ sɛ ebi nnyera.
29 Some of them also were appointed over the vessels, and over all the vessels of the sanctuary, and over the fine flour, and the wine, and the oil, and the frankincense, and the spices.
Afoforɔ nso hwɛ nneɛma a wɔde asiesie hɔ, nneɛma a ɛwɔ kronkronbea hɔ, nneɛma a wɔde brɛ wɔn, sɛ ebia, asikyiresiam a wɔayam no muhumuhu, nsã, ngo, nnuhwam ne kurobo ahodoɔ so.
30 And some of the sons of the priests prepared the mixture of the spices.
Nanso, na asɔfoɔ no na wɔdi nnuhwam no ne kurobo no ho dwuma.
31 And Matthithyah, one of the Levites, who was the first-born of Shallum the Korchite, had the trust over the meat-offerings that were baked in the pans.
Matitia a ɔyɛ Lewini, na ɔyɛ Korani Salum abakan no na na ɔto burodo a wɔde bɔ afɔdeɛ no.
32 And others of their brethren, of the sons of the Kehathites, were over the orders of the shew-bread, to prepare it every sabbath.
Na nnipa bi a wɔfiri Kohat abusua mu nso na na wɔhwɛ, siesie burodo a wɔde to ɛpono Homeda no.
33 But these the singers, the chiefs of the divisions of the Levites, remained in the chambers free of service; for day and night were they obliged to engage in that work.
Nnwom ho nimdefoɔ a na wɔn nso yɛ Lewifoɔ atitire no nyinaa, na wɔtete Asɔredan no mu. Na wɔmma wɔnnyɛ adwuma foforɔ biara, ɛsiane wɔn adwuma a wɔyɛ no mmerɛ nyinaa enti.
34 These are the chiefs of the divisions of the Levites, being the chiefs for their generations: these dwelt at Jerusalem.
Na saa nnipa yi nyinaa tete Yerusalem. Na wɔyɛ Lewifoɔ mmusua no nyinaa ntuanofoɔ a wɔatwerɛ wɔn din ahyɛ wɔn mmusuadua krataa mu.
35 And in Gib'on dwelt the father of Gib'on, Je'iel; and the name of his wife was Ma'achah;
Yeiel (Gibeon agya) tenaa Gibeon. Na ne yere din de Maaka,
36 And his first-born son was 'Abdon, then Zur, and Kish, and Ba'al, and Ner, and Nadab,
a na ne babarima piesie din de Abdon. Na Yeiel mmammarima a wɔaka no din de Sur, Kis, Baal, Ner, Nadab,
37 And Gedor, and Achyo, and Zechariah, and Mikloth.
Gedor, Ahio, Sakaria ne Miklot.
38 And Mikloth begat Shimam. And they also dwelt alongside of their brethren at Jerusalem, with their brethren.
Miklot na ɔyɛ Simeam agya. Na saa mmusuafoɔ yi tete bemmɛn wɔn ho wɔn ho wɔ Yerusalem.
39 And Ner begat Kish; and Kish begat Saul; and Saul begat Jehonathan, and Malki-shua', and Abinadab, and Eshba'al.
Ner na ɔwoo Kis. Kis na ɔwoo Saulo, Saulo na ɔwoo Yonatan, Malki-Sua, Abinadab ne Esbaal.
40 And the son of Jehonathan was Merib-ba'al: and Merib-ba'al begat Michah.
Yonatan babarima ne: Merib-Baal (anaa Mefiboset) na Merib-Baal woo Mika.
41 And the sons of Michah were, Pithon, and Melech, and Thachrea'.
Mika mmammarima ne: Piton, Melek, Tarea ne Ahas.
42 And Achaz begat Ja'rah; and Ja'rah begat 'Alemeth, 'Azmaveth, and Zimri; and Zimri begat Moza;
Ahas woo Yara. Yara woo Alemet, Asmawet ne Simri. Na Simri woo Mosa.
43 And Moza begat Bin'a; ! and Rephayah his son, El'assah his son, Azel his son.
Mosa woo Binea. Binea woo Refaia. Refaia woo Elasa. Elasa woo Asel.
44 And Azel had six sons, and these are their names, 'Azrikam, Bocheru, and Ishmael, and She'aryah, and 'Obadiah, and Chanan: these were the sons of Azel.
Asel woo mmammarima baasia a wɔne: Asrikam, Bokeru, Ismael, Searia, Obadia ne Hanan. Na yeinom yɛ Asel mma.
