Nehemiah 11
1 And the princes of the people lived in Jerusalem. And 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, saa ɛberɛ yi, na ɔmanfoɔ no ntuanofoɔ tete Yerusalem, kuropɔn kronkron no mu. Wɔbɔɔ ntonto kronkron wɔ nnipa no a na wɔtete Yuda ne Benyamin nkuro bi no so, yii mu nkyɛmu edu mu baako, ma wɔn nso kɔtenaa hɔ. Na nkaeɛ no deɛ, wɔtenaa deɛ wɔte hɔ ara.
2 The people blessed all the men who willingly offered themselves to dwell in Jerusalem.
Na ɔmanfoɔ no kamfoo obiara a ɔfiri ne pɛ mu sane kɔtenaa Yerusalem no.
3 Now these are the chiefs of the province who lived in Jerusalem; but in the cities of Judah everyone lived in his possession in their cities: Israel, the cohanim, and the Levites, and the Nethinim, and the descendants of Solomon's servants.
Amantam mu mpanimfoɔ a wɔbaa Yerusalem no din na wɔatwerɛ wɔ ha yi. Ɔmanfoɔ no mu fa kɛseɛ a wɔyɛ asɔfoɔ, Lewifoɔ, Asɔredan mu asomfoɔ ne Salomo asomfoɔ asefoɔ no kɔɔ so tenaa wɔn ankasa afie mu wɔ Yuda nkuro ahodoɔ so,

23 For there was a commandment from the king concerning them, and a settled provision for the singers, as every day required.
Na wɔhyɛ ɔhene mmara a ɛkyerɛ deɛ ɛsɛ sɛ wɔyɛ da biara no ase.
24 Pethahiah the son of Meshezabel, of the descendants of Zerah the son of Judah, was at the king's hand in all matters concerning the people.
