1 Chronicles 9
1 So all Israel were reckoned by genealogies; and, behold, they were written in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah, who were carried away to Babylon for their transgression.
Wɔkyerɛw Israel anato biara mu nnipa din guu Israel ne Yuda Ahemfo nhoma mu. Esiane sɛ na Yudafo no nni Awurade nokware no nti, wotwaa wɔn asu kɔɔ Babilonia.
2 Now the first inhabitants that dwelt in their possessions in their cities were, the Israelites, the priests, Levites, and the Nethinims.
Wɔn a wɔsan ba bɛfaa wɔn agyapade wɔ wɔn nkurow dedaw mu no yɛ mpapahwekwa. Wɔne asɔfo, Lewifo ne asɔredan mu aboafo no bi na wɔbae.
3 And in Jerusalem dwelt of the children of Judah, and of the children of Benjamin, and of the children of Ephraim, and Manasseh;
Nnipa a wofi Yuda, Benyamin, Efraim ne Manase mmusuakuw mu ba bɛtenaa Yerusalem.
4 Uthai the son of Ammihud, the son of Omri, the son of Imri, the son of Bani, of the children of Pharez the son of Judah.
Abusua baako a wɔsan bae no yɛ Amihud babarima Utai a ɔyɛ Omri babarima na ɔno nso yɛ Imri babarima na ɔno nso yɛ Bani babarima a wɔyɛ Yuda babarima Peres asefo.
5 And of the Shilonites; Asaiah the firstborn, and his sons.
Wɔn a wɔsan bae a na wofi Silonfo abusua mu no yɛ: Asaia a ɔyɛ abakan no ne ne mmabarima.
6 And of the sons of Zerah; Jeuel, and their brethren, six hundred and ninety.
Serah abusua mu no: Yeuel ne nʼabusuafo na wɔsan bae. Yuda abusuakuw no mu mmusua ahansia aduɔkron na wɔsan bae.
7 And of the sons of Benjamin; Sallu the son of Meshullam, the son of Hodaviah, the son of Hasenuah,
Wɔn a wofi Benyamin abusuakuw mu a wɔsan bae no ne: Mesulam babarima Salu, a ɔyɛ Hodawia babarima na ɔno nso yɛ Hasenua babarima;
8 And Ibneiah the son of Jeroham, and Elah the son of Uzzi, the son of Michri, and Meshullam the son of Shephatiah, the son of Reuel, the son of Ibnijah;
Yibneia a ɔyɛ Yeroham babarima, Ela a ɔyɛ Usi babarima, Mikri babarima; Mesulam a ɔyɛ Sefatia babarima, Reuel babarima, Yibnia babarima bae.
9 And their brethren, according to their generations, nine hundred and fifty and six. All these men were heads of the father’s houses in the house of their fathers.
Saa mmarima yi nyinaa, na wɔyɛ mmusua ntuanofo, na wɔakyerɛw wɔn din wɔ wɔn mmusuakuw anato nhoma mu. Benyamin abusuakuw mu mmusua ahankron ne aduonum asia na wɔsan bae.
10 And of the priests; Jedaiah, and Jehoiarib, and Jachin,
Asɔfo a wɔsan bae no bi ne: Yedaia, Yehoriarib, Yakin,
11 And Azariah the son of Hilkiah, the son of Meshullam, the son of Zadok, the son of Meraioth, the son of Ahitub, the ruler of the house of God;
Asaria a ɔyɛ Hilkia babarima a ɔno nso yɛ Mesulam babarima na ɔno nso yɛ Sadok babarima na ɔno nso yɛ Meraiot babarima na ɔno nso yɛ Ahitub babarima. Na Asaria yɛ Onyankopɔn fi ahwɛfo so panyin.
12 And Adaiah the son of Jeroham, the son of Pashur, the son of Malchijah, and Maasiai the son of Adiel, the son of Jahzerah, the son of Meshullam, the son of Meshillemith, the son of Immer;
Asɔfo a wɔsan bae no bi ne Adaia a ɔyɛ Yeroham babarima a na ɔno nso yɛ Pashur babarima na ɔno nso yɛ Malkia babarima ne Masai a ɔyɛ Adiel babarima na ɔno nso yɛ Yahsera babarima na ɔno nso yɛ Mesulam babarima a ɔno nso yɛ Mesilemit babarima na ɔno nso yɛ Imer babarima.
13 And their brethren, heads of the house of their fathers, a thousand and seven hundred and sixty; very able men for the work of the service of the house of God.
Asɔfo a wɔsan bae nyinaa dodow yɛ apem ahanson aduosia. Na wɔyɛ mmusua ntuanofo a wɔyɛ nsiyɛfo. Na wɔn adwuma ne sɛ, wɔsom wɔ Onyankopɔn fi.
14 And of the Levites; Shemaiah the son of Hasshub, the son of Azrikam, the son of Hashabiah, of the sons of Merari;
Lewifo a wɔsan bae no yɛ: Semaia a ɔyɛ Hasub babarima a na ɔyɛ Asrikam babarima a na ɔno nso yɛ Hasabia babarima a na ɔyɛ Merari aseni,
15 And Bakbakkar, Heresh, and Galal, and Mattaniah the son of Micah, the son of Zichri, the son of Asaph;
Bakbakar, Heres, Galal, Mika babarima Matania a ɔyɛ Sikri babarima na ɔno nso yɛ Asaf babarima,
16 And Obadiah the son of Shemaiah, the son of Galal, the son of Jeduthun, and Berechiah the son of Asa, the son of Elkanah, that dwelt in the villages of the Netophathites.
Obadia a ɔyɛ Semaia babarima a ɔyɛ Galal babarima na ɔno nso yɛ Yedutun babarima ne Asa a ɔyɛ Elkana babarima Berekia a wɔtenaa Netofa asase so.
17 And the porters were, Shallum, and Akkub, and Talmon, and Ahiman, and their brethren: Shallum was the chief;
Apon ano hwɛfo a wɔsan bae no yɛ: Salum, Akub, Talmon, Ahiman ne wɔn abusuafo. Salum na na ɔyɛ ɔpon ano hwɛfo panyin.
18 Who until then waited in the king’s gate eastward: they were porters in the camp of the children of Levi.
Kan no nso, na anka wɔn na wɔhwɛ ɔhene pon a ɛkyerɛ apuei fam no so. Na saa mmarima no som sɛ Lewifo atenae apon ano ahwɛfo.
19 And Shallum the son of Kore, the son of Ebiasaph, the son of Korah, and his brethren, of the house of his father, the Korahites, were over the work of the service, keepers of the gates of the tabernacle: and their fathers, being over the host of the LORD, were keepers of the entrance.
Na Salum yɛ Kore babarima a ɔyɛ Ebiasaf a ofi Kora abusua mu aseni. Na ɔne nʼabusuafo a wɔyɛ Korafo no na na wɔwɛn ɔkwan a ɛkɔ kronkronbea hɔ no, sɛnea na wɔn mpanyimfo wɛn Ahyiae Ntamadan wɔ Awurade atenae hɔ no.
20 And Phinehas the son of Eleazar was the ruler over them in time past, and the LORD was with him.
Eleasar babarima Pinehas na kan no na ɔhwɛ apon ano ahwɛfo no so, na Awurade ka ne ho.
21 And Zechariah the son of Meshelemiah was porter of the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.
Akyiri no, Meselemia babarima Sakaria na na ɔwɛn ɔkwan a ɛkɔ Ahyiae Ntamadan no mu no ano.
22 All these who were chosen to be porters in the gates were two hundred and twelve. These were reckoned by their genealogy in their villages, whom David and Samuel the seer ordained in their charge.
Ne nyinaa mu, saa bere no, na apon ano ahwɛfo no dodow yɛ ahannu ne dumien a na wɔakyerɛw wɔn din wɔ wɔn anato nkrataa mu wɔ wɔn nkuraa. Dawid ne Samuel a na ɔyɛ ɔdehufo no ama wɔn dibea a ɛsom bo.
23 So they and their children had the oversight of the gates of the house of the LORD, namely, the house of the tabernacle, by watch.
Saa apon ano ahwɛfo yi ne wɔn asefo no, na wɔkyekyɛ wɔn mu kɔwɛn ɔkwan a ɛkɔ Awurade fi, a kan no na ɛyɛ ntamadan no ano.
24 In four quarters were the porters, toward the east, west, north, and south.
Wɔde apon ano ahwɛfo no gyinagyinaa afanan no nyinaa a ɛyɛ apuei, atɔe, atifi ne anafo.
25 And their brethren, who were in their villages, were to come after seven days from time to time with them.
Bere ano bere ano, na wɔn abusuafo a wɔwɔ nkuraa no bɛboa wɔn wɔ wɔn nnanson nnanson dwumadi mu.
26 For these Levites, the four chief porters, were in charge of the chambers and treasuries of the house of God.
Na saa Lewifo apon ano ahwɛfo mpanyimfo baanan no adwuma no yɛ nea ekura asodi kɛse, efisɛ wɔn na na wɔhwɛ adan ne sikakoradan a ɛwɔ Onyankopɔn fi hɔ no so.
27 And they lodged about the house of God, because the charge was upon them, and the opening of it every morning pertained to them.
Wɔwɛn Onyankopɔn fi hɔ anadwo, efisɛ na ɛyɛ wɔn asɛde. Afei, na ɛyɛ wɔn adwuma sɛ da biara anɔpa wobuebue apon no.
28 And certain of them had the charge of the vessels of service, that they should bring them in and out by number.
Na apon ano ahwɛfo no bi adwuma ne sɛ, wɔhwɛ nneɛma ahorow a wɔde yɛ ɔsom adwuma no so. Sɛ wɔrekɔfa, na wɔresan de akogu hɔ no nyinaa, wɔhwɛ sɛ bi renyera.
29 Some of them also were appointed to oversee the vessels, and all the instruments of the sanctuary, and the fine flour, and the wine, and the oil, and the frankincense, and the spices.
Afoforo nso hwɛ nneɛma a wɔde asiesie hɔ, nneɛma a ɛwɔ kronkronbea hɔ, nneɛma a wɔde brɛ wɔn, sɛ ebia, asikresiam a wɔayam no muhumuhu, nsa, ngo, nnuhuam ne kurobow ahorow so.
30 And some of the sons of the priests made the ointment of the spices.
Nanso na asɔfo no na wodi nnuhuam no ne kurobow no ho dwuma.
31 And Mattithiah, one of the Levites, who was the firstborn of Shallum the Korahite, had the set office over the things that were made in the pans.
Lewini a wɔfrɛ no Matitia a ɔyɛ Korani Salum abakan no na na ɔto brodo a wɔde bɔ afɔre no.
32 And others of their brethren, of the sons of the Kohathites, were over the showbread, to prepare it every sabbath.
Na nnipa bi a wofi Kohat abusua mu nso na na wɔhwɛ, siesie brodo a wɔde to pon Homeda no.
33 And these are the singers, heads of the fathers of the Levites, who remaining in the chambers were free: for they were employed in that work day and night.
Nnwom ho nimdefo a na wɔn nso yɛ Lewifo atitiriw no nyinaa, na wɔtete Asɔredan no mu. Na wɔmma wɔnnyɛ dwuma foforo biara, esiane wɔn adwuma a wɔyɛ no mmere nyinaa nti.
34 These chief fathers of the Levites were leaders throughout their generations; these dwelt at Jerusalem.
Na saa nnipa yi nyinaa tete Yerusalem. Na wɔyɛ Lewifo mmusua no nyinaa ntuanofo a wɔakyerɛw wɔn din ahyɛ wɔn anato krataa mu.
35 And in Gibeon dwelt the father of Gibeon, Jehiel, whose wife’s name was Maachah:
Yeiel (Gibeon agya) tenaa Gibeon. Na ne yere din de Maaka,
36 And his firstborn son Abdon, then Zur, and Kish, and Baal, and Ner, and Nadab,
a na ne babarima abakan din de Abdon. Na Yeiel mmabarima a wɔaka no din de Sur, Kis, Baal, Ner, Nadab,
37 And Gedor, and Ahio, and Zechariah, and Mikloth.
Gedor, Ahio, Sakaria ne Miklot.
38 And Mikloth begat Shimeam. And they also dwelt with their brethren at Jerusalem, opposite their brethren.
Miklot na ɔyɛ Simeam agya. Na saa abusuafo yi tete bemmɛn wɔn ho wɔn ho wɔ Yerusalem.
39 And Ner begat Kish; and Kish begat Saul; and Saul begat Jonathan, and Malchishua, and Abinadab, and Eshbaal.
Ner na ɔwoo Kis. Kis na ɔwoo Saulo, Saulo na ɔwoo Yonatan, Malki-Sua, Abinadab ne Esbaal.
40 And the son of Jonathan was Meribbaal: and Meribbaal begat Micah.
Yonatan babarima ne: Merib-Baal (anaa Mefiboset) na Merib-Baal woo Mika.
41 And the sons of Micah were, Pithon, and Melech, and Tahrea, and Ahaz.
Mika mmabarima ne: Piton, Melek, Tarea ne Ahas.
42 And Ahaz begat Jarah; and Jarah begat Alemeth, and Azmaveth, and Zimri; and Zimri begat Moza;
Ahas woo Yara. Yara woo Alemet, Asmawet ne Simri. Na Simri woo Mosa.
43 And Moza begat Binea; and Rephaiah his son, Eleasah his son, Azel his son.
Mosa woo Binea. Binea woo Refaia. Refaia woo Elasa. Elasa woo Asel.
44 And Azel had six sons, whose names are these, Azrikam, Bocheru, and Ishmael, and Sheariah, and Obadiah, and Hanan: these were the sons of Azel.
Asel woo mmabarima baasia a wɔne: Asrikam, Bokeru, Ismael, Searia, Obadia ne Hanan. Na eyinom yɛ Asel mma.
