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.
Wɔtwerɛɛ Israel abusuadua biara mu nnipa din guu Israel ne Yuda Ahemfo nwoma mu. Esiane sɛ na Yudafoɔ no nni Awurade nokorɛ no enti, wɔtwaa wɔn asuo 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 wɔsane baeɛ bɛfaa wɔn agyapadeɛ wɔ wɔn nkuro dada mu no yɛ Israelfoɔ bi, asɔfoɔ, Lewifoɔ ne asɔredan mu aboafoɔ.
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 wɔfiri Yuda, Benyamin, Efraim ne Manase mmusuakuo mu ba bɛtenaa Yerusalem no yɛ:
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.
Amihud babarima Utai a ɔyɛ Omri babarima na ɔno nso yɛ Imri babarima na ɔno nso yɛ Bani babarima a wɔyɛ Yuda babarima Peres asefoɔ.
5 And of the Shilonites; Asaiah the firstborn, and his sons.
Wɔn a wɔfiri Silonfoɔ abusua mu no yɛ: Asaia a ɔyɛ abakan no ne ne mmammarima.
6 And of the sons of Zerah; Jeuel, and their brethren, six hundred and ninety.
Serah abusua mu no: Yeuel ne nʼabusuafoɔ na wɔsane baeɛ. Yuda abusuakuo no mu mmusua ahansia aduɔkron na wɔsane baeɛ.
7 And of the sons of Benjamin; Sallu the son of Meshullam, the son of Hodaviah, the son of Hasenuah,
Wɔn a wɔfiri Benyamin abusuakuo mu a wɔsane baeɛ 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 baeɛ.
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 ntuanofoɔ, na wɔatwerɛ wɔn din wɔ wɔn mmusuakuo mmusuadua nwoma mu. Benyamin abusuakuo mu mmusua aha nkron ne aduonum nsia na wɔsane baeɛ.
10 And of the priests; Jedaiah, and Jehoiarib, and Jachin,
Asɔfoɔ a wɔsane baeɛ 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 fie ahwɛfoɔ so panin.
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;
Asɔfoɔ a wɔsane baeɛ 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.
Asɔfoɔ a wɔsane baeɛ nyinaa dodoɔ yɛ apem ahanson aduosia. Na wɔyɛ mmusua ntuanofoɔ a wɔyɛ nsiyɛfoɔ. Na wɔn adwuma ne sɛ, wɔsom wɔ Onyankopɔn fie.
14 And of the Levites; Shemaiah the son of Hasshub, the son of Azrikam, the son of Hashabiah, of the sons of Merari;
Lewifoɔ a wɔsane baeɛ 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;
Apono anohwɛfoɔ a wɔsane baeɛ no yɛ: Salum, Akub, Talmon, Ahiman ne wɔn mmusuafoɔ. Salum na na ɔyɛ ɔpono ano hwɛfoɔ panin.
18 Who until then waited in the king’s gate eastward: they were porters in the camp of the children of Levi.
Kane no nso, na anka wɔn na wɔhwɛ ɔhene ɛpono a ɛkyerɛ apueeɛ fam no so. Na saa mmarima no som sɛ Lewifoɔ atenaeɛ apono ano ahwɛfoɔ.
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 ɔfiri Kora abusua mu aseni. Na ɔne nʼabusuafoɔ a wɔyɛ Korafoɔ no na na wɔwɛn ɛkwan a ɛkɔ kronkronbea hɔ no, sɛdeɛ na wɔn mpanimfoɔ wɛnee Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan wɔ Awurade atenaeɛ hɔ no.
20 And Phinehas the son of Eleazar was the ruler over them in time past, and the LORD was with him.
Eleasa babarima Pinehas na kane no na ɔhwɛ apono ano ahwɛfoɔ 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.
Akyire no, Meselemia babarima Sakaria na na ɔwɛn ɛkwan a ɛkɔ Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan 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 ɛberɛ no, na apono ano ahwɛfoɔ no dodoɔ yɛ ahanu ne dumienu a na wɔatwerɛ wɔn din wɔ wɔn mmusuadua nkrataa mu wɔ wɔn nkuraaseɛ. Dawid ne Samuel a na ɔyɛ ɔdehunufoɔ no yiyii wɔn agyanom, ɛfiri sɛ na wɔyɛ nokwafoɔ.
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 apono ano ahwɛfoɔ yi ne wɔn asefoɔ no, na wɔkyekyɛ wɔn mu kɔwɛn ɛkwan a ɛkɔ Awurade efie, a kane no na ɛyɛ ntomadan no ano.
24 In four quarters were the porters, toward the east, west, north, and south.
Wɔde apono ano ahwɛfoɔ no gyinagyinaa afanan no nyinaa a ɛyɛ apueeɛ, atɔeɛ, atifi ne anafoɔ.
25 And their brethren, who were in their villages, were to come after seven days from time to time with them.
Ɛberɛ-ano-berɛ-ano, na wɔn abusuafoɔ a wɔwɔ nkuraaseɛ no bɛboa wɔn wɔ wɔn nnanson nnanson dwumadie mu.
26 For these Levites, the four chief porters, were in charge of the chambers and treasuries of the house of God.
Saa apono ano ahwɛfoɔ mpanimfoɔ baanan a na wɔyɛ Lewifoɔ no, na wɔn adwuma no yɛ deɛ ɛkura asodie kɛseɛ, ɛfiri sɛ, wɔn na na wɔhwɛ adan ne sikakoradan a ɛwɔ Onyankopɔn fie 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 fie hɔ anadwo, ɛfiri sɛ, na ɛyɛ wɔn asɛdeɛ. Afei, na ɛyɛ wɔn adwuma sɛ da biara anɔpa wɔbuebue apono 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 apono ano ahwɛfoɔ no bi adwuma ne sɛ wɔhwɛ nneɛma ahodoɔ a wɔde yɛ ɔsom adwuma no so. Sɛ wɔrekɔfa, na wɔresane de akɔgu hɔ no nyinaa a, wɔhwɛ sɛ ebi nnyera.
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.
Afoforɔ nso hwɛ nneɛma a wɔde asiesie hɔ, nneɛma a ɛwɔ kronkronbea hɔ, nneɛma a wɔde brɛ wɔn, sɛ ebia, asikyiresiam a wɔayam no muhumuhu, nsã, ngo, nnuhwam ne kurobo ahodoɔ so.
30 And some of the sons of the priests made the ointment of the spices.
Nanso, na asɔfoɔ no na wɔdi nnuhwam no ne kurobo 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.
Matitia a ɔyɛ Lewini, na ɔyɛ Korani Salum abakan no na na ɔto burodo a wɔde bɔ afɔdeɛ 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 wɔfiri Kohat abusua mu nso na na wɔhwɛ, siesie burodo a wɔde to ɛpono 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 nimdefoɔ a na wɔn nso yɛ Lewifoɔ atitire no nyinaa, na wɔtete Asɔredan no mu. Na wɔmma wɔnnyɛ adwuma foforɔ biara, ɛsiane wɔn adwuma a wɔyɛ no mmerɛ nyinaa enti.
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 Lewifoɔ mmusua no nyinaa ntuanofoɔ a wɔatwerɛ wɔn din ahyɛ wɔn mmusuadua 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 piesie din de Abdon. Na Yeiel mmammarima 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 mmusuafoɔ 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 mmammarima 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 mmammarima baasia a wɔne: Asrikam, Bokeru, Ismael, Searia, Obadia ne Hanan. Na yeinom yɛ Asel mma.
