Numbers 1
1 Yahweh spoke to Moses in the tent of meeting in the wilderness of Sinai. This happened on the first day of the second month during the second year after the people of Israel had come out from the land of Egypt. Yahweh said,
Awurade kasa kyerɛɛ Mose wɔ Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan a ɛwɔ Sinai anweatam so. Yei siiɛ wɔ mfeɛ mmienu a Israelfoɔ firii Misraim no akyi, ɔbosome a ɛtɔ so mmienu no no ɛda a ɛdi ɛkan. Ɔkaa sɛ:
2 “Conduct a census of all the men of Israel in each clan, in their fathers' families. Count them by name. Count every male, each man
“Gyina Israelfoɔ no mmusuakuo ne wɔn mmusua so kan wɔn nyinaa. Twerɛ ɔbarima biara din.
3 who is twenty years old or older. Count all who can fight as soldiers for Israel. You and Aaron must record the number of men in their armed groups.
Wo ne Aaron na mobɛkan mmarima a wɔadi mfeɛ aduonu no ne deɛ ɛboro saa a wɔtumi kɔ ɔsa.
4 A man from each tribe, a clan head, must serve with you as his tribe's leader. Each leader must lead the men who will fight for his tribe.
Ɔbarima a ɔfiri abusuakuo biara mu a ɔyɛ ntuanoni na ɔbɛboa mo.
5 These are the names of the leaders who must fight with you: From the tribe of Reuben, Elizur son of Shedeur;
“Mmarima a wɔbɛboa mo no edin nie: “Ruben abusuakuo no ntuanoni yɛ Sedeur babarima Elisur;
6 from the tribe of Simeon, Shelumiel son of Zurishaddai;
Simeon abusuakuo no ntuanoni yɛ Surisadai babarima Selumiel;

13 from the tribe of Asher, Pagiel son of Okran;
Aser abusuakuo ntuanoni yɛ Okran babarima Pagiel;
14 from the tribe of Gad, Eliasaph son of Deuel;
Gad abusuakuo ntuanoni yɛ Deguel babarima Eliasaf;
15 and from the tribe of Naphtali, Ahira son of Enan.”
Naftali abusuakuo ntuanoni yɛ Enan babarima Ahira.”
16 These were the men appointed from the people. They led their ancestors' tribes. They were the leaders of the clans in Israel.
Yeinom ne mmarima a wɔyii wɔn firii nnipa no mu, a wɔyɛ ntuanofoɔ ma wɔn agyanom mmusua no.
17 Moses and Aaron took these men, who were recorded by name,
Mose ne Aaron faa saa nnipa yi a wɔabobɔ wɔn edin yi,
18 and along with these men they assembled all the men of Israel on the first day of the second month. Then each man twenty years old and older identified his ancestry. He had to name the clans and families descended from his ancestors.
na ɛda a ɛdi ɛkan wɔ ɔbosome a ɛtɔ so mmienu no mu no, wɔfrɛɛ ɔmanfoɔ no nyinaa. Nnipa no nam wɔn mmusuakuo ne wɔn mmusua so kyerɛɛ wɔn mmusuadua na wɔtwerɛɛ mmarima a wɔadi mfeɛ aduonu ne deɛ ɛboro saa no edin mmaako mmaako

Yeinom ne mmarima a Mose ne Aaron ne Israel mmusuakuo dumienu no ntuanofoɔ kan wɔn.
45 So all the men of Israel from twenty years old and older, all who could fight in war, were counted in each of their families.

47 But the men who were descended from Levi were not counted,
Mmusua a wɔwɔ Lewi abusuakuo no deɛ, wɔankan wɔn anka wɔn a aka no ho.
48 because Yahweh had said to Moses,
Na Awurade aka akyerɛ Mose sɛ,
49 “You must not count the tribe of Levi or include them in the total of the people of Israel.
“Nkan Lewifoɔ abusuakuo no, na mfa wɔn nka Israelfoɔ a wɔaka no ho.
50 Instead, assign the Levites to care for the tabernacle of the covenant decrees, and to care for all the furnishings in the tabernacle and for everything in it. The Levites must carry the tabernacle, and they must carry the tabernacle's furnishings. They must care for the tabernacle and make their camp around it.
Fa Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no ho dwumadie hyɛ Lewifoɔ no nsa. Wɔnhwɛ nneɛma a wɔde asiesie mu ne deɛ ɛkeka ho nyinaa so. Wɔn na wɔbɛsoa Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no ne emu nneɛma, wɔbɛhwɛ so na wɔatenatena ho.
51 When the tabernacle is to move to another place, the Levites must take it down. When the tabernacle is to be set up, the Levites must set it up. Any stranger who comes near the tabernacle must be killed.
Ɛberɛ biara a ɛsɛ sɛ wɔtu Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no, Lewifoɔ no na ɛsɛ sɛ wɔtutu, na baabiara a wɔde bɛsi no, wɔn na wɔbɛyɛ. Onipa foforɔ biara a ɔbɛbɛn ho no, wɔbɛkum no.
52 When the people of Israel set up their tents, each man must do so near the banner that belongs to his armed group.
Israel abusuakuo biara bɛnya nʼatenaeɛ ne ne frankaa.
53 However, the Levites must set up their tents around the tabernacle of the covenant decrees so that my anger does not come upon the people of Israel. The Levites must care for the tabernacle of the covenant decrees.”
Lewifoɔ no bɛsisi wɔn ntomadan atwa Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no ho ahyia, sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a Onyankopɔn abufuhyeɛ remma Israelfoɔ no so. Lewifoɔ no na wɔbɛhwɛ Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no so.”
54 The people of Israel did all these things. They did everything that Yahweh commanded through Moses.
Israelfoɔ no yɛɛ yeinom nyinaa sɛdeɛ Awurade hyɛɛ Mose no.
