23 [When] David [told Joab to count the men of Israel, he] did not [tell him to] count the men who were less then 20 years old, because Yahweh had promised [many years previously] that there would be as many [people] in Israel as there are stars in the sky.
Bere a Dawid ma wɔkan nnipa no, wɔankan wɔn a wonnii mfe aduonu, efisɛ na Awurade ahyɛ bɔ sɛ ɔbɛma Israelfo no adɔɔso sɛ ɔsoro nsoromma.
24 Joab [and his helpers] started to count the men of Israel, but they did not finish counting them [because Joab knew that Yahweh was angry about their being counted]. Yahweh punished [MTY] the people of Israel because of this counting, and as a result the total number of Israeli men [able to serve in the army] was not written on the scroll about King David’s [rule].
