Nehemiah 11

1 And the rulers of the people dwelt in Jerusalem, —and, the rest of the people, cast lots, to bring in one out of ten to dwell in Jerusalem, the holy city, and nine parts in [other] cities.

Afei, ɔmanfo no ntuanofo kɔtenaa Yerusalem, kuropɔn kronkron no mu. Wɔbɔɔ ntonto kronkron wɔ nnipa no a na wɔtete Yuda ne Benyamin nkurow bi no so, yii mu nkyɛmu du mu baako ma wɔn nso kɔtenaa hɔ. Na nkae no de, wɔtenaa nea wɔte hɔ ara.

2 And the people bestowed a blessing on all the men, who willingly offered themselves to dwell in Jerusalem.

Na ɔmanfo no kamfoo obiara a ofi ne pɛ mu san kɔtenaa Yerusalem no.

3 Now, these, are the chiefs of the province, who dwelt in Jerusalem, but, in the cities of Judah, dwelt every man in his possession throughout their cities, Israel, the priests, and the Levites and the Nethinim, and the Sons of the Servants of Solomon.

Amantam mu mpanyimfo a wɔbaa Yerusalem no din na wɔakyerɛw wɔ ha yi. Ɔmanfo no mu fa kɛse a wɔyɛ asɔfo, Lewifo, Asɔredan mu asomfo ne Salomo asomfo asefo no kɔɔ so tenaa wɔn ankasa afi mu wɔ Yuda nkurow ahorow so,

18 All the Levites in the holy city, were two hundred and eighty-four.

Na Lewifo a wɔwɔ kuropɔn kronkron no mu no nyinaa dodow si ahannu aduɔwɔtwe anan.

19 And, the door-keepers—Akkub, Talmon, and their brethren who were keeping watch in the gates, were a hundred and seventy-two.

20 But, the residue of Israel, the priests, the Levites, were in all the cities of Judah, every one in his inheritance.

Asɔfo a wɔaka no, Lewifo ne Israelfo nkae no tenatenaa Yudaman mu baabiara a wɔn agyapade wɔ.

21 Howbeit, the Nethinim, were dwelling in Ophel, —and, Ziha and Gishpa, were over the Nethinim.

Nanso Asɔredan mu asomfo no a na Siha ne Gispa da wɔn ano no de, wɔn nyinaa kɔtenaa Ofel koko so.

22 And, the overseer of the Levites in Jerusalem, was Uzzi son of Bani, son of Hashabiah, son of Mattaniah, son of Mica, —of the sons of Asaph the singers, to take lead in the business of the house of God.

Na ɔpanyin pa ara a otua Lewifo a wɔwɔ Yerusalem ano no ne Bani babarima Usi, Hasabia babarima, Matania babarima, Mika babarima a ɔyɛ Asaf aseni, na nʼabusuafo som sɛ nnwontofo wɔ Onyankopɔn asɔredan mu no.

23 For, the commandment of the king, was upon them, —as to a fixed provision for the singers, the need of a day upon its day.

Na wɔhyɛ ɔhene mmara a ɛkyerɛ nea ɛsɛ sɛ wɔyɛ da biara no ase.

24 And, Pethahiah son of Meshezabel, of the sons of Zerah, son of Judah, was at the hand of the king, in every matter pertaining to the people.

Mesesabel babarima Petahia a ɔyɛ Yuda babarima Serah aseni no yɛ ɔhene ananmusini wɔ ɔman no amammui mu.

25 And, as for the villages in their fields, some of the sons of Judah, dwelt in Kiriath-arba, and the hamlets thereof, and in Dibon, and the hamlets thereof, and in Jekabzeel, and the villages thereof;
