1 Chronicles 9
1 And, all Israel, registered themselves, and lo! they are written, in the Book of the Kings of Israel, and, Judah, was carried away captive to Babylon, for their faithlessness.
Wɔkyerɛw Israel anato biara mu nnipa din guu Israel ne Yuda Ahemfo nhoma mu. Esiane sɛ na Yudafo no nni Awurade nokware no nti, wotwaa wɔn asu kɔɔ Babilonia.
2 Now, the first inhabitants, who were in their possessions, in their cities, were Israel, the priests, the Levites, and the Nethinim.
Wɔn a wɔsan ba bɛfaa wɔn agyapade wɔ wɔn nkurow dedaw mu no yɛ mpapahwekwa. Wɔne asɔfo, Lewifo ne asɔredan mu aboafo no bi na wɔbae.
3 And, in Jerusalem, there dwelt, of the sons of Judah, and of the sons of Benjamin, —and of the sons of Ephraim, and Manasseh:
Nnipa a wofi Yuda, Benyamin, Efraim ne Manase mmusuakuw mu ba bɛtenaa Yerusalem.
4 Uthai son of Ammihud, son of Omri, son of Imri, son of Bani, of the sons of Perez, son of Judah.
Abusua baako a wɔsan bae no yɛ Amihud babarima Utai a ɔyɛ Omri babarima na ɔno nso yɛ Imri babarima na ɔno nso yɛ Bani babarima a wɔyɛ Yuda babarima Peres asefo.
5 And, of the Shilonites, Asaiah the firstborn, and his sons.
Wɔn a wɔsan bae a na wofi Silonfo abusua mu no yɛ: Asaia a ɔyɛ abakan no ne ne mmabarima.
6 And, of the sons of Zerah, Jeuel, —and their brethren, six hundred and ninety.
Serah abusua mu no: Yeuel ne nʼabusuafo na wɔsan bae. Yuda abusuakuw no mu mmusua ahansia aduɔkron na wɔsan bae.
7 And, of the sons of Benjamin, Sallu, son of Meshullam, son of Hodaviah, son of Hassenuah;
Wɔn a wofi Benyamin abusuakuw mu a wɔsan bae no ne: Mesulam babarima Salu, a ɔyɛ Hodawia babarima na ɔno nso yɛ Hasenua babarima;
8 and Ibneiah, son of Jeroham, and Elah, son of Uzzi, son of Michri, —and Meshullam, son of Shephatiah, son of Reuel, son of Ibnijah;
Yibneia a ɔyɛ Yeroham babarima, Ela a ɔyɛ Usi babarima, Mikri babarima; Mesulam a ɔyɛ Sefatia babarima, Reuel babarima, Yibnia babarima bae.
9 and their brethren, by their generations, nine hundred and fifty-six, —all these men, were ancestral chiefs, to their ancestral house.
Saa mmarima yi nyinaa, na wɔyɛ mmusua ntuanofo, na wɔakyerɛw wɔn din wɔ wɔn mmusuakuw anato nhoma mu. Benyamin abusuakuw mu mmusua ahankron ne aduonum asia na wɔsan bae.
10 And, of the priests, Jedaiah, and Jehoiarib, and Jachin, —
Asɔfo a wɔsan bae no bi ne: Yedaia, Yehoriarib, Yakin,
11 and Azariah son of Hilkiah, son of Meshullam, son of Zadok, son of Meraioth, son of Ahitub, chief 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 fi ahwɛfo so panyin.
12 and Adaiah, son of Jeroham, son of Pashhur, son of Malchijah, —and Maasai son of Adiel, son of Jahzerah, son of Meshullam, son of Meshillemith, son of Immer;
Asɔfo a wɔsan bae 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, chief men of their ancestral house, a thousand and seven hundred and sixty, —able men, for the business of the service of the house of God.
Asɔfo a wɔsan bae nyinaa dodow yɛ apem ahanson aduosia. Na wɔyɛ mmusua ntuanofo a wɔyɛ nsiyɛfo. Na wɔn adwuma ne sɛ, wɔsom wɔ Onyankopɔn fi.
14 And, of the Levites, Shemaiah, son of Hasshub, son of Azrikam, son of Hashabiah, of the sons of Merari;
Lewifo a wɔsan bae 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, Heresh, and Galal, —and Mattaniah, son of Mica, son of Zichri, son of Asaph;
Bakbakar, Heres, Galal, Mika babarima Matania a ɔyɛ Sikri babarima na ɔno nso yɛ Asaf babarima,
16 and Obadiah, son of Shemaiah, son of Galal, son of Jeduthun, —and Berechiah son of Asa, son of Elkanah, who 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 keepers of the gates, were Shallum, and Akkub, and Talmon, and Ahiman, —and their brethren—Shallum the chief;
Apon ano hwɛfo a wɔsan bae no yɛ: Salum, Akub, Talmon, Ahiman ne wɔn abusuafo. Salum na na ɔyɛ ɔpon ano hwɛfo panyin.
18 and, hitherto, they were in the gate of the king, eastward, —the same, were the keepers of the gate, for the camps of the sons of Levi.
Kan no nso, na anka wɔn na wɔhwɛ ɔhene pon a ɛkyerɛ apuei fam no so. Na saa mmarima no som sɛ Lewifo atenae apon ano ahwɛfo.
19 And, Shallum, son of Kore, son of Ebiasaph, son of Korah and his brethren of his ancestral house—the Korahites, were over the business of the service, watchers at the vestibule of the tent, —and, their fathers, had been over the camp of Yahweh, watchers at the entrance.
Na Salum yɛ Kore babarima a ɔyɛ Ebiasaf a ofi Kora abusua mu aseni. Na ɔne nʼabusuafo a wɔyɛ Korafo no na na wɔwɛn ɔkwan a ɛkɔ kronkronbea hɔ no, sɛnea na wɔn mpanyimfo wɛn Ahyiae Ntamadan wɔ Awurade atenae hɔ no.
20 And, Phinehas son of Eleazar, was, chief ruler, over them aforetime, Yahweh, being with him.
Eleasar babarima Pinehas na kan no na ɔhwɛ apon ano ahwɛfo no so, na Awurade ka ne ho.
21 Zechariah son of Meshelemiah, was door-keeper at the entrance of the tent of meeting.
Akyiri no, Meselemia babarima Sakaria na na ɔwɛn ɔkwan a ɛkɔ Ahyiae Ntamadan no mu no ano.
22 All those who were chosen for door-keepers in the vestibule, were two hundred and twelve, —the same, in their villages, had registered themselves, the same, did David and Samuel the seer establish in their trust.
Ne nyinaa mu, saa bere no, na apon ano ahwɛfo no dodow yɛ ahannu ne dumien a na wɔakyerɛw wɔn din wɔ wɔn anato nkrataa mu wɔ wɔn nkuraa. Dawid ne Samuel a na ɔyɛ ɔdehufo no ama wɔn dibea a ɛsom bo.
23 So, they and their sons, were over the gates of the house of Yahweh, of the house of the tent, by watches.
Saa apon ano ahwɛfo yi ne wɔn asefo no, na wɔkyekyɛ wɔn mu kɔwɛn ɔkwan a ɛkɔ Awurade fi, a kan no na ɛyɛ ntamadan no ano.
24 Towards the four winds, were the keepers of the gates, —eastward, westward, northward, and southward.
Wɔde apon ano ahwɛfo no gyinagyinaa afanan no nyinaa a ɛyɛ apuei, atɔe, atifi ne anafo.
25 And, their brethren in their villages, had to come in, every seven days, from time to time, along with these.
Bere ano bere ano, na wɔn abusuafo a wɔwɔ nkuraa no bɛboa wɔn wɔ wɔn nnanson nnanson dwumadi mu.
26 For, in trust, were four mighty men of the keepers of the gates, the same, were Levites, —and they were over the chambers, and over the treasuries of the house of God.
Na saa Lewifo apon ano ahwɛfo mpanyimfo baanan no adwuma no yɛ nea ekura asodi kɛse, efisɛ wɔn na na wɔhwɛ adan ne sikakoradan a ɛwɔ Onyankopɔn fi hɔ no so.
27 And, round about the house of God, used they to lodge, —for, upon them, was the charge, and they were over the setting open, morning by morning.
Wɔwɛn Onyankopɔn fi hɔ anadwo, efisɛ na ɛyɛ wɔn asɛde. Afei, na ɛyɛ wɔn adwuma sɛ da biara anɔpa wobuebue apon no.
28 And, some from among them, were over the utensils of the service, —for, by number, used they to bring them in, and, by number, used they to take them forth.
Na apon ano ahwɛfo no bi adwuma ne sɛ, wɔhwɛ nneɛma ahorow a wɔde yɛ ɔsom adwuma no so. Sɛ wɔrekɔfa, na wɔresan de akogu hɔ no nyinaa, wɔhwɛ sɛ bi renyera.
29 And, some from among them, were appointed over the utensils, yea over all the vessels of the holy place, —and over the fine meal, and the wine, and the oil, and the frankincense, and the spices.
Afoforo nso hwɛ nneɛma a wɔde asiesie hɔ, nneɛma a ɛwɔ kronkronbea hɔ, nneɛma a wɔde brɛ wɔn, sɛ ebia, asikresiam a wɔayam no muhumuhu, nsa, ngo, nnuhuam ne kurobow ahorow so.
30 And, some from among the sons of the priests, were compounders of perfumes, with the spices.
Nanso na asɔfo no na wodi nnuhuam no ne kurobow no ho dwuma.
31 And, Mattithiah, from among the Levites, —the same, was the firstborn of Shallum the Korahite—was in trust over the making of the flat cakes.
Lewini a wɔfrɛ no Matitia a ɔyɛ Korani Salum abakan no na na ɔto brodo a wɔde bɔ afɔre no.
32 And, some from among the Kohathites, of their brethren, were over the Bread that was set in Array, —to place it sabbath by sabbath.
Na nnipa bi a wofi Kohat abusua mu nso na na wɔhwɛ, siesie brodo a wɔde to pon Homeda no.
33 These, also were the singers, ancestral chiefs of the Levites, in the chambers, free, —for, by day and by night, was there [a charge] upon them, in the business.
Nnwom ho nimdefo a na wɔn nso yɛ Lewifo atitiriw no nyinaa, na wɔtete Asɔredan no mu. Na wɔmma wɔnnyɛ dwuma foforo biara, esiane wɔn adwuma a wɔyɛ no mmere nyinaa nti.
34 These, were the ancestral chiefs, of the Levites, by their generations, chief men, —these, dwelt in Jerusalem.
Na saa nnipa yi nyinaa tete Yerusalem. Na wɔyɛ Lewifo mmusua no nyinaa ntuanofo a wɔakyerɛw wɔn din ahyɛ wɔn anato krataa mu.
35 And, in Gibeon, dwelt the father of Gibeon, Jeiel, —the name of whose wife, was Maacah:
Yeiel (Gibeon agya) tenaa Gibeon. Na ne yere din de Maaka,
36 and, his firstborn son, Abdon, —and Zur, and Kish, and Baal and Ner, and Nadab;
a na ne babarima abakan din de Abdon. Na Yeiel mmabarima a wɔaka no din de Sur, Kis, Baal, Ner, Nadab,
37 and Gedor, and Ahio, and Zechariah, and Mikloh.
Gedor, Ahio, Sakaria ne Miklot.
38 And, Mikloth, begat Shimeam—and, they also, over against their brethren, did dwell in Jerusalem, along with their brethren.
Miklot na ɔyɛ Simeam agya. Na saa abusuafo yi tete bemmɛn wɔn ho wɔn ho wɔ Yerusalem.
39 And, Ner, begat Kith, and, Kish, begat Saul, —and, Saul, begat Jonathan, and Malchishua, and Abinadab, and Eshbaal;
Ner na ɔwoo Kis. Kis na ɔwoo Saulo, Saulo na ɔwoo Yonatan, Malki-Sua, Abinadab ne Esbaal.
40 and, the son of Jonathan, was Merib-baal, —and, Merib-baal, begat Micah;
Yonatan babarima ne: Merib-Baal (anaa Mefiboset) na Merib-Baal woo Mika.
41 and, the sons of Micah, were Pithon, and Melech, and Tahrea [and Ahaz];
Mika mmabarima ne: Piton, Melek, Tarea ne Ahas.
42 and, Ahaz, begat Jarah, and, Jarah begat Alemeth, and Azmaveth, and Zimri, —and Zimri, begat Moza;
Ahas woo Yara. Yara woo Alemet, Asmawet ne Simri. Na Simri woo Mosa.
43 and, Moza, begat Binea, —and Raphaiah his son, Eleasah 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, [his firstborn], and Ishmael, and Sheariah and Obadiah, and Hanan, [and Asah]. These, were the sons of Azel.
Asel woo mmabarima baasia a wɔne: Asrikam, Bokeru, Ismael, Searia, Obadia ne Hanan. Na eyinom yɛ Asel mma.
