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 asutwafoɔ no ano wɔ Ahawa nsukwan no so, na yɛmaa wɔtenaa hɔ nnansa wɔ ɛberɛ a merehwɛ nnipa no ne asɔfoɔ a wɔabɛduru hɔ no din mu no. Manhunu Lewifoɔ no mu baako mpo wɔ hɔnom.
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 ɔmanfoɔ no ntuanofoɔ no. Mesane soma ma wɔkɔfrɛɛ Yoiarib ne Elnatan, a na wɔyɛ anyansafoɔ pa bi 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.
Mede wɔn kɔmaa Ido a na ɔtua Lewifoɔ ano no, wɔ Kasifia, bisaa ɔne nʼabusuafoɔ ne asɔredan no mu asomfoɔ no sɛ wɔmmrɛ yɛn asɔfoɔ mfa wɔn nkɔyɛ Onyankopɔn asɔredan a ɛwɔ Yerusalem no mu adwuma.
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 ahummɔborɔ nsa wɔ yɛn so no enti, wɔbrɛɛ yɛn ɔbarima bi a ne din de Serebia, a ne mmammarima ne ne nuammarimanom dunwɔtwe ka ne ho. Na ɔyɛ onyansafoɔ 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.
Afei, wɔmaa Merari asefoɔ Yesaia, Hasabia ne ne mmammarima ne ne nuammarima 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 asomfoɔ ahanu ne aduonu baeɛ. Na asɔredan mu asomfoɔ no yɛ Lewifoɔ no aboafoɔ a na wɔyɛ asɔredan mu adwumayɛfoɔ kuo bi a Dawid na ɔfaa wɔn kane. Wɔtwerɛɛ 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 Nsuka no so, mehyɛɛ sɛ yɛnni mmuada, na yɛmmrɛ yɛn ho ase mma Onyankopɔn. Yɛbɔɔ mpaeɛ sɛ ɔbɛma yɛakɔduru dwoodwoo, na wabɔ yɛn, yɛn mma ne yɛn nneɛma a yɛde rebɛtu 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 mebisaa ɔhene no sɛ ɔmma yɛn asraafoɔ ne apɔnkɔsotefoɔ sɛ wɔnka yɛn ho mmɔ yɛn ho ban wɔ ɛkwan so. Nokorɛm, na yɛaka akyerɛ ɔhene no sɛ, “Yɛn Onyankopɔn bɔ wɔn a wɔsom no no ho ban, na nʼabufuhyeɛ no tia wɔn a wɔgya no.”
23 And we fasted! and we sought! from God our on this and he was entreated by us.
Enti, yɛdii mmuada, bɔɔ mpaeɛ nokorɛ mu, sɛ yɛn Onyankopɔn bɛhwɛ yɛn, na ɔtiee yɛn mpaeɛbɔ.
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 meyii asɔfoɔ no ntuanofoɔ dumienu a wɔne Serebia, Hasabia ne asɔfoɔ afoforɔ edu 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 atam ne nneɛma a ɛka ho a ɔhene no nʼagyinatufoɔ, ne ntuanofoɔ ne Israelfoɔ de rekɔkyɛ Onyankopɔn asɔredan 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 agudeɛ no rema wɔn no, mekariiɛ na mehunuu sɛ emu duru yɛ: dwetɛ nkariboɔ tɔno aduonu mmienu, sikakɔkɔɔ nkuku ne nkaka nkariboɔ kilogram mpem mmiɛnsa ne ahanan, sikakɔkɔɔ nkariboɔ kilogram mpem mmiɛnsa ne ahanan,
27 And bowls of gold twenty of darics a thousand and vessels of bronze gleaming fine two precious like gold.
sikakɔkɔɔ atam aduonu a ɛne sikakɔkɔɔ pranpran apem boɔ yɛ pɛ, kɔbere nneɛma mmienu a wɔabere ho ma ɛrekɔyɛ sɛ sikakɔkɔɔ amapa.
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 asɔfoɔ yi sɛ, “Wɔayi mo ne saa agyapadeɛ yi nyinaa asi nkyɛn sɛ ade kronkron ama Awurade. Saa dwetɛ ne sikakɔkɔɔ yi yɛ akoma pa mu afɔrebɔdeɛ a wɔde rema Awurade, yɛn agyanom Onyankopɔn.
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 agyapadeɛ yi so yie, na momfa mma asɔfoɔ mpanin, Lewifoɔ ne Israel ntuanofoɔ wɔ adekoraeɛ a ɛwɔ Awurade asɔredan no mu wɔ Yerusalem 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, asɔfoɔ no ne Lewifoɔ 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.
Yɛfirii Ahawa Nsuka atenaeɛ hɔ Ab bosome (bɛyɛ Oforisuo) da a ɛtɔ so dunkron, hyɛɛ aseɛ kɔɔ Yerusalem. Na Onyankopɔn ahummɔborɔ nsa no bɔɔ yɛn ho ban, gyee yɛn firii atamfoɔ ne akwanmukafoɔ nsam.
32 And we came Jerusalem and we remained there days three.
Enti, yɛkɔduruu Yerusalem dwoodwoo, homee 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.
Yɛduruiɛ no, ne nnanan so, wɔkarii dwetɛ, sikakɔkɔɔ ne aboɔdenneɛ a aka no wɔ Onyankopɔn asɔredan no mu, na wɔde hyɛɛ Uria babarima ɔsɔfoɔ Meremot ne Pinehas babarima Eleasa ne Yesua babarima Yosabad ne Binui babarima Noadia a wɔn baanu no yɛ Lewifoɔ no nsa.
34 By number by weight for everything and it was written down all the weight at the time that.
Wɔkanee biribiara dodoɔ, karii ne mu duru, twerɛɛ 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 asutwafoɔ a wɔfiri nnommum mu baeɛ no de anantwie dumienu, nnwennini aduɔkron nsia ne nnwammaa aduɔson nson, bɔɔ ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ, maa Israel Onyankopɔn. Afei, wɔmaa mpapo dumienu sɛ bɔne ho afɔrebɔdeɛ. Wɔde yeinom nyinaa baeɛ sɛ ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ, 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 mpanimfoɔ ne amradofoɔ a wɔwɔ asuo Eufrate atɔeɛ fam, na wɔn nyinaa yɛɛ baako, boaa Onyankopɔn asɔredan no sie.
