15 And I assembled them to the river which goes to Ahava and we encamped there days three and I considered! the people and the priests and any of [the] descendants of Levi not I found there.
Meboaa nnommum no ano wɔ Ahawa nsukwan no so, na yɛma wɔtenaa hɔ nnansa, bere a merehwɛ nnipa no ne asɔfo a wɔabedu hɔ no din mu no, mihuu sɛ Lewifo no mu baako mpo antu ne ho ansi hɔ.
16 And I sent! for Eliezer for Ariel for Shemaiah and for Elnathan and for Jarib and for Elnathan and for Nathan and for Zechariah and for Meshullam chiefs and for Joiarib and for Elnathan teachers.
Enti mesoma ma wɔkɔfrɛɛ Elieser, Ariel, Semaia, Elnatan, Yarib, Elnatan, Natan, Sakaria ne Mesulam, a wɔyɛ ɔmanfo no ntuanofo no. Mesan soma ma wɔkɔfrɛɛ Yoiarib ne Elnatan, a na wɔyɛ nimdefo no nso;
17 (And I commanded *Q(K)*) them to Iddo the chief in Casiphia the place and I put! in mouth their words to speak to Iddo brother his (the temple servants *Q(K)*) in Casiphia the place to bring to us servants for [the] house of God our.
na mema wɔkɔɔ Ido a na otua Lewifo no ano no nkyɛn wɔ Kasifia. Mekyerɛɛ wɔn nea wɔnka nkyerɛ Ido ne nʼabusuafo ne asɔredan no mu asomfo no wɔ Kasifia, sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a wɔde ahwɛfo bɛbrɛ yɛn wɔ yɛn Nyankopɔn fi.
18 And they brought to us according to [the] hand of God our good on us a man of insight one of [the] descendants of Mahli [the] son of Levi [the] son of Israel and Sherebiah and sons his and brothers his eight-teen.
Esiane sɛ Onyankopɔn adom nsa wɔ yɛn so no nti, wɔbrɛɛ yɛn ɔbarima bi a ne din de Serebia, a ne mmabarima ne ne nuabarimanom dunwɔtwe ka ne ho. Na ɔyɛ onyansafo a ɔyɛ Mahli a na ɔyɛ Israel babarima Lewi no aseni,
19 And Hashabiah and with him Jeshaiah one of [the] descendants of Merari brothers his and sons their twenty.
ne Merari asefo Yesaia, Hasabia ne ne mmabarima ne ne nuabarimanom aduonu
20 And some of the temple servants whom he had appointed David and the officials for [the] work of the Levites temple servants two hundred and twenty all of them they had been designated by names.
ne asɔredan no mu asomfo ahannu ne aduonu bae. Na asɔredan mu asomfo no yɛ Lewifo no aboafo a na wɔyɛ asɔredan mu adwumayɛfo kuw bi a Dawid na ɔfaa wɔn kan. Wɔkyerɛw wɔn nyinaa din.
21 And I proclaimed there a fast at the river Ahava to humble ourselves before God our to seek from him a journey straight for us and for little one[s] our and for all property our.
Na Ahawa Suka no ho no, mehyɛɛ sɛ yenni mmuada, na yɛmmrɛ yɛn ho ase mma Onyankopɔn. Yɛbɔɔ mpae sɛ ɔbɛma yɛakodu dwoodwoo, na wabɔ yɛn ne yɛn mma ne yɛn nneɛma a yɛde rebetu kwan no ho ban.
22 For I was ashamed to ask from the king an escort and horsemen to help us from an enemy on the journey for we had said to the king saying [the] hand of God our [is] on all [those who] seek him for good and strength his and anger his [are] towards all [those who] forsake him.
Na mefɛree sɛ mebisa ɔhene no sɛ ɔmma yɛn asraafo ne apɔnkɔsotefo na wɔnka yɛn ho mmɔ yɛn ho ban wɔ ɔkwan so, efisɛ na yɛaka akyerɛ ɔhene no se, “Yɛn Nyankopɔn bɔ wɔn a wɔsom no no ho ban, na nʼabufuwhyew no tia wɔn a wɔpo no.”
23 And we fasted! and we sought! from God our on this and he was entreated by us.
Enti yedii mmuada, bɔɔ mpae srɛɛ yɛn Nyankopɔn wɔ eyi ho, na otiee yɛn mpaebɔ.
24 And I set apart! of [the] leaders of the priests two [plus] ten to Sherebiah Hashabiah and with them of brothers their ten.
Na miyii asɔfo no ntuanofo dumien a wɔne Serebia, Hasabia ne asɔfo afoforo du a wɔka wɔn ho
25 (And I weighed out! *Q(k)*) to them the silver and the gold and the vessels [the] contribution of [the] house of God our which they had offered the king and counselors his and officials his and all Israel who were found.
sɛ wɔnhwɛ dwetɛ, sikakɔkɔɔ, sikakɔkɔɔ hweaseammɔ ne nneɛma a ɛka ho a ɔhene no nʼagyinatufo, ne ntuanofo ne Israelfo de ama Onyankopɔn fi no so.
26 And I weighed out! on hand their silver talents six hundred and fifty and vessels of silver one hundred of talents gold one hundred talent[s].
Mede agude no rema wɔn no, mekarii na mihuu sɛ emu duru yɛ: dwetɛ nkaribo tɔn aduonu anan, sikakɔkɔɔ nkuku ne nkaka nkaribo pɔn mpem ahanson ne ahannum, sikakɔkɔɔ nkaribo pɔn mpem ahanson ne ahannum,
27 And bowls of gold twenty of darics a thousand and vessels of bronze gleaming fine two precious like gold.
sikakɔkɔɔ hweaseammɔ aduonu a ɛne sikakɔkɔɔ nnwetɛbona apem bo yɛ pɛ, kɔbere nneɛma abien a wɔabere ho ma ɛrekɔyɛ sɛ sikakɔkɔɔ ankasa.
28 And I said! to them you [are] holy person[s] to Yahweh and the vessels [are] holy thing[s] and the silver and the gold [are] a freewill offering to Yahweh [the] God of ancestors your.
Na meka kyerɛɛ saa asɔfo yi se, “Wɔayi mo ne saa agyapade yi nyinaa asi nkyɛn sɛ ade kronkron ama Awurade. Saa dwetɛ ne sikakɔkɔɔ yi yɛ koma pa mu afɔrebɔde a wɔde rema Awurade, yɛn agyanom Nyankopɔn.
29 Watch and keep [them] until you will weigh [them] out before [the] leaders of the priests and the Levites and [the] leaders of the fathers of Israel in Jerusalem the rooms of [the] house of Yahweh.
Monhwɛ saa agyapade yi so yiye, na momfa mma asɔfo mpanyin, Lewifo ne Israel ntuanofo wɔ adekorae a ɛwɔ Yerusalem asɔredan no mu no.”
30 And they received the priests and the Levites [the] weight of the silver and the gold and the vessels to bring [them] to Jerusalem to [the] house of God our.
Enti asɔfo no ne Lewifo no gye too wɔn ho so sɛ wɔde saa Onyankopɔn asɔre sika no bɛkɔ Yerusalem.
31 And we set out! from [the] river of Ahava on [day] two [plus] ten of the month first to go Jerusalem and [the] hand of God our it was on us and he delivered us from [the] hand of an enemy and from an ambusher on the journey.
Yefii Ahawa Suka atenae hɔ Ab ɔsram (bɛyɛ Oforisuo) da a ɛto so dunkron, sii mu kɔɔ Yerusalem. Na Onyankopɔn nsa no bɔɔ yɛn ho ban, gyee yɛn fii atamfo ne akwamukafo nsam.
32 And we came Jerusalem and we remained there days three.
Enti yekoduu Yerusalem dwoodwoo, homee wɔ hɔ nnansa.
33 And on the day fourth it was weighed out the silver and the gold and the vessels in [the] house of God our on [the] hand of Meremoth [the] son of Uriah the priest and with him Eleazar [the] son of Phinehas and with them Jozabad [the] son of Jeshua and Noadiah [the] son of Binnui the Levites.
Yeduu no, ne nnaanan so no, wɔkarii dwetɛ, sikakɔkɔɔ ne aboɔdenne a aka no wɔ Onyankopɔn asɔredan no mu, na wɔde hyɛɛ Uria babarima ɔsɔfo Meremot ne Pinehas babarima Eleasar ne Yesua babarima Yosabad ne Binui babarima Noadia a wɔn baanu no yɛ Lewifo no nsa.
34 By number by weight for everything and it was written down all the weight at the time that.
Wɔkan biribiara dodow, karii mu duru, kyerɛw biribiara.
35 Those [who] had come from the captivity [the] children of the exile they brought near burnt offerings - to [the] God of Israel bulls two [plus] ten on all Israel rams - ninety and six lambs seventy and seven he-goats of sin offering two [plus] ten everything [was] a burnt offering to Yahweh.
Na wɔn a wofi nnommum mu bae no de anantwi dumien, adwennini aduɔkron asia ne nguantenmma aduɔson ason, bɔɔ ɔhyew afɔre, maa Israel Nyankopɔn. Afei, wɔmaa mmirekyi dumien sɛ bɔne ho afɔrebɔde. Wɔde eyinom nyinaa bae sɛ ɔhyew afɔre maa Awurade.
36 And they gave - [the] decrees of the king to [the] satraps of the king and [the] governors of beyond the River and they supported the people and [the] house of God.
Wɔde ɔhene no mmara no maa ne mpanyimfo ne amradofo a wɔwɔ asu Eufrate agya no, na wɔn nyinaa yɛɛ baako boaa Onyankopɔn asɔredan no si.
