Numbers 1

1 Then spake Yahweh unto Moses in the desert of Sinai in the tent of meeting, —on the first of the second month in the second year by their coming forth out of the land of Egypt saying:

Awurade kasa kyerɛɛ Mose wɔ Ahyiae Ntamadan a ɛwɔ Sinai nweatam so. Eyi sii wɔ mfe abien a Israelfo fii Misraim no akyi, ɔsram a ɛto so abien no da a edi kan. Ɔkae se:

2 Reckon ye up the sum of all the assembly of the sons of Israel, by their families by their ancestral houses, —in the counting of names, every male, by their polls;

“Gyina Israelfo no mmusuakuw ne wɔn mmusua so kan wɔn nyinaa. Kyerɛw ɔbarima biara din.

3 from twenty years old and upwards, every one able to go forth to war in Israel, —ye shall number them by their hosts, thou and Aaron;

Wo ne Aaron na mobɛkan mmarima a wɔadi mfe aduonu no ne nea ɛboro saa a wotumi kɔ ɔsa.

4 and with you, shall be one man for each tribe, —each man, head of his ancestral house, shall be.

Ɔbarima a ofi abusuakuw biara mu a ɔyɛ ntuanoni na ɛsɛ sɛ ɔboa mo.

5 These, then, are the names of the men who shall stand with you, —Of Reuben, Elizur, son of Shedeur;

“Mmarima a wɔbɛboa mo no din ni: “Ruben abusuakuw no ntuanoni ne Sedeur babarima Elisur;

Eyinom ne mmarima a woyii wɔn fii nnipa no mu, a wɔyɛ wɔn agyanom mmusua no ntuanofo.

17 So then Moses and Aaron took these men, who were distinguished by name;

Mose ne Aaron faa saa nnipa a wɔabobɔ wɔn din yi,

18 all the assembly also, called they together on the first of the second month, —and they declared their pedigree according to their families by their ancestral houses, —in the counting of names from twenty years old and upwards by their polls.

47 But the Levites by the tribe of their fathers were not numbered in their midst.

Mmusua a wɔwɔ Lewi abusuakuw no de, wɔankan wɔn anka wɔn a aka no ho.

48 For Yahweh spake unto Moses saying:

Na Awurade aka akyerɛ Mose se,

49 Only the tribe of Levi, shalt thou not number, nor the sum of them, shalt thou reckon up, in the midst of the sons of Israel.

“Nkan Lewifo abusuakuw no, na mfa wɔn nka Israelfo a wɔaka no ho.

50 But do, thou thyself, put the Levites in charge over the habitation of the testimony, and over all the furniture thereof and over all that pertaineth thereto, they, shall bear the habitation, and all the furniture thereof, and they, shall attend thereupon; and, round about the habitation, shall they encamp.

Fa Ahyiae Ntamadan no ho dwumadi hyɛ Lewifo no nsa. Wɔnhwɛ nneɛma a wɔde asiesie mu ne nea ɛkeka ho nyinaa so. Wɔn na wɔbɛsoa Ahyiae Ntamadan no ne mu nneɛma, wɔbɛhwɛ so na wɔatenatena ho.

51 And, when the habitation is to set forward, the Levites shall take it down, and when the habitation is to be pitched, the Levites, shall set it up, but the stranger that draweth near, shall be put to death.

Bere biara a ɛsɛ sɛ wotu Ahyiae Ntamadan no, Lewifo no na ɛsɛ sɛ wotutu, na baabiara a wɔde besi no, wɔn na wɔbɛyɛ. Onipa foforo biara a ɔbɛbɛn ho no, wobekum no.

52 So then the sons of Israel shall pitch their tents, every man, near his own camp, and, every man, near his own standard, by their hosts;

Israel abusuakuw biara benya ne tenabea ne ne frankaa.

53 but the Levites, shall pitch their tents round about the habitation of the testimony, that there be no wrath upon the assembly of the sons of Israel, —so shall the Levites keep the watch of the habitation of the testimony.

Lewifo no besisi wɔn ntamadan atwa Ahyiae Ntamadan no ho ahyia, sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a Onyankopɔn abufuwhyew remma Israelfo no so. Lewifo no na wɔbɛhwɛ Ahyiae Ntamadan no so.”

54 Thus did the sons of Israel, —according to all that Yahweh commanded Moses, so, did they.

Israelfo no yɛɛ eyinom nyinaa sɛnea Awurade hyɛɛ Mose no.
