Nehemiah 7
1 And it comes to pass, when the wall has been built, that I set up the doors, and the gatekeepers are appointed, and the singers, and the Levites,
Wowiee ɔfasu no, na misisii apon no wiee akyi no, yɛfaa apon no anohwɛfo, nnwontofo ne Lewifo.
2 and I charge my brother Hanani, and Hananiah head of the palace, concerning Jerusalem—for he [is] as a man of truth, and fearing God above many—
Miyii me nuabarima Hanani sɛ ɔne Hanania nni Yerusalem so. Na Hanania yɛ ɔsahene a ɔhwɛ aban no so, na ɔyɛ ɔnokwafo a osuro Nyame sen afoforo bebree.
3 and I say to them, “Do not let the gates of Jerusalem be opened until the heat of the sun, and while they are standing by let them shut the doors, and fasten, and appoint guards of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, each at his watch, and each in front of his house.”
Meka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Ɛnsɛ sɛ wobue Yerusalem apon no ano to hɔ kosi sɛ ahuhuru bɛba. Na sɛ aponanohwɛfo no wɔ adwuma mu koraa a, montoto mu na mommram akyi. Munyi wɔn a wɔte Yerusalem no, na bi nnyina hɔ nnwɛn na bi nso mfi wɔn afi a ɛbemmɛn no mu nwɛn.”
4 And the city [is] broad on both sides, and great, and the people [are] few in its midst, and there are no houses built;
Saa bere no na kuropɔn no so, na emu da hɔ, nanso na nnipa no nnɔɔso. Afi kakraa bi na na esisi kuropɔn no mu.
5 and my God puts it to my heart, and I gather the nobles, and the prefects, and the people, for the genealogy, and I find a scroll of the genealogy of those coming up at the beginning, and I find written in it:
Na me Nyankopɔn maa me adwene sɛ memfrɛ kuropɔn no mu ntuanofo ne ɔmanfo no nyinaa nhyia, na wɔnkyerɛw wɔn din. Mihuu nnipa a wodii kan san baa Yuda no anato nhoma. Nsɛm a na wɔakyerɛw agu mu ni:
6 These [are] sons of the province, those coming up of the captives of the expulsion that Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon removed—and they return to Jerusalem and to Judah, each to his city—
Eyinom ne Yudafo a wotwaa wɔn asu kɔɔ amantam bi so, na wofii nnommum mu san baa Yerusalem ne Yuda nkurow afoforo so. Ɔhene Nebukadnessar na otwaa wɔn asu kɔɔ Babilonia.

61 And these [are] those coming up from Tel-Melah, Tel-Harsha, Cherub, Addon, and Immer—and they have not been able to declare the house of their fathers, and their seed, whether they [are] of Israel—
Kuw foforo bi a saa bere yi wofi Tel-Melah, Tel-Harsa, Kerub, Adon ne Imer san baa Yerusalem, nanso, wɔantumi ankyerɛ mu yiye sɛ, wɔn anaa wɔn asefo no ase fi Israel:

63 And of the priests: sons of Habaiah, sons of Koz, sons of Barzillai (who has taken a wife from the daughters of Barzillai the Gileadite, and is called by their name).
Asɔfo baasa a wɔn din de Habaia, Hakos ne Barsilai a wɔyɛ mmusua abiɛsa no nso baa Yerusalem. (Na saa Barsilai yi aware Barsilai a ofi Gilead mmabea no baako ama wafa ɔbea no abusuadin.)
64 These have sought their register among those reckoning themselves by genealogy, and it has not been found, and they are redeemed from the priesthood,
Nanso, na wɔayera wɔn anato nhoma no nti wɔmma wɔn ho kwan ansom sɛ asɔfo.
65 and the Tirshatha says to them that they do not eat of the most holy things until the standing up of the priest with [the] Lights and Perfections.
Na amrado no mma kwan mma wonnni afɔrebɔ nnuan mu kyɛfa mpo, gye sɛ ɔsɔfo bi wɔ hɔ a ɔnam ntontobɔ kronkron so bisa Awurade.
66 All the assembly together [is] forty-two thousand three hundred and sixty,
Enti nnipa a wɔsan baa Yuda no nyinaa dodow yɛ mpem aduanan abien, ahaasa ne aduosia,
67 apart from their servants and their handmaids—these [are] seven thousand three hundred thirty-seven; and of them [are] male and female singers, two hundred forty-five.
a ɛno akyi, asomfo mpem ason ahaasa aduasa ason ne nnwontofo mmarima ne mmea ahannu aduanan anum ka ho.
68 Their horses [are] seven hundred thirty-six; their mules, two hundred [and] forty-five;
Wɔde apɔnkɔ ahanson ne aduasa asia, funumpɔnkɔ ahannu ne aduanan anum.
69 camels, four hundred thirty-five; donkeys, six thousand seven hundred and twenty.
Yoma ahannan ne aduasa anum ne mfurum mpem asia ahanson ne aduonu kaa wɔn ho.
70 And from the extremity of the heads of the fathers they have given to the work; the Tirshatha has given to the treasure, one thousand drams of gold, fifty bowls, five hundred and thirty priests’ coats.
Abusua no bi ntuanofo maa dwumadi no ho akyɛde. Amrado no too sikakorabea no mu sikakɔkɔɔ nnwetɛbona apem, sikakɔkɔɔ hweaseammɔ aduonum ne asɔfotade ahannum ne aduasa.
71 And of the heads of the fathers they have given to the treasure of the work, twenty thousand drams of gold, and two thousand and two hundred pounds of silver.
Ntuanofo no bi ka bɔɔ mu, too sikakorabea no mu sikakɔkɔɔ nnwetɛbona mpem aduonu, na ebinom nso maa dwetɛ nsania pɔn mpem abien ne ahanson aduonum de boaa adwuma no.
72 And that which the rest of the people have given [is] twenty thousand drams of gold, and two thousand pounds of silver, and sixty-seven priests’ coats.
Nnipa a wɔaka no nso maa sikakɔkɔɔ nnwetɛbona mpem aduonu ne dwetɛ bɛyɛ pɔn mpenu ne ahannum ne asɔfotade aduosia ason.
73 And they dwell—the priests, and the Levites, and the gatekeepers, and the singers, and [some] of the people, and the Nethinim, and all Israel—in their cities, and the seventh month comes, and the sons of Israel [are] in their cities.
