Numbers 3
1 These also [are] the generations of Aaron and Moses, in the day [that] the LORD spoke with Moses in mount Sinai.
Ɛberɛ a Awurade kasa kyerɛɛ Mose wɔ Sinai Bepɔ so no.
2 And these [are] the names of the sons of Aaron; Nadab the first-born, and Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.
Na yeinom ne Aaron ne Mose abusua. Aaron mmammarima edin na ɛdidi soɔ yi: Nadab, nʼabakan, Abihu, Eleasa ne Itamar.
3 These [are] the names of the sons of Aaron, the priests who were anointed, whom he consecrated to minister in the priest's office.
Yeinom ne Aaron mma a wɔasra wɔn ngo na wɔayi wɔn asi hɔ sɛ asɔfoɔ.
4 And Nadab and Abihu died before the LORD, when they offered strange fire before the LORD, in the wilderness of Sinai, and they had no children: and Eleazar and Ithamar ministered in the priest's office in the sight of Aaron their father.
Nadab ne Abihu deɛ, wɔwuwuu wɔ Awurade anim ɛberɛ a wɔhyee afɔrebɔdeɛ wɔ ogya a ɛmfata so wɔ Sinai ɛserɛ so. Na wɔnni mma enti, Eleasa ne Itamar nko ara na wɔsomm sɛ asɔfoɔ, ɛberɛ a wɔn agya Aaron te ase.
5 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose sɛ:
6 Bring the tribe of Levi near, and present them before Aaron the priest, that they may minister to him.
“Frɛ Lewifoɔ no, na fa wɔn ma ɔsɔfoɔ Aaron sɛ nʼaboafoɔ.
7 And they shall keep his charge, and the charge of the whole congregation before the tabernacle of the congregation, to do the service of the tabernacle.
Wɔbɛyɛ adwuma wɔ Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no mu ama ɔsɔfoɔ Aaron ne nnipa no nyinaa.
8 And they shall keep all the instruments of the tabernacle of the congregation, and the charge of the children of Israel, to do the service of the tabernacle.
Afei, wɔbɛhwɛ nneɛma a wɔde siesie Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan mu no so, de asi Israelfoɔ no no anan mu ayɛ asodie a wɔyɛ wɔ Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no mu.
9 And thou shalt give the Levites to Aaron and to his sons: they [are] wholly given to him out of the children of Israel.
Fa Lewifoɔ no ma Aaron ne ne mmammarima; wɔn ne Israelfoɔ a wɔde wɔn bɛma no korakora.
10 And thou shalt appoint Aaron and his sons, and they shall wait on their priest's office: and the stranger that cometh nigh shall be put to death.
Ma Aaron ne ne mmammarima no nsom sɛ asɔfoɔ; onipa foforɔ biara a ɔbɛbɛne kronkronbea hɔ no, ɛsɛ sɛ wɔkum no.”
11 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose sɛ,
12 And I, behold, I have taken the Levites from among the children of Israel, instead of all the first-born that openeth the matrix among the children of Israel: therefore the Levites shall be mine;
“Mayi Lewifoɔ no afiri Israelfoɔ no mu de wɔn asi Israel babaa biara abakan a ɔyɛ ɔbarima anan mu. Lewifoɔ no yɛ me dea,
13 Because all the first-born [are] mine; [for] on the day that I smote all the first-born in the land of Egypt, I hallowed to me all the first-born in Israel, both man and beast: mine they shall be: I [am] the LORD.
ɛfiri sɛ abakan biara wɔ me. Ɛberɛ a mekunkum mmakan wɔ Misraim no, megyaa Israel mmakan, sɛ wɔyɛ nnipa anaa mmoa. Wɔyɛ me dea. Mene Awurade.”
14 And the LORD spoke to Moses in the wilderness of Sinai, saying,
Afei, Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose wɔ Sinai ɛserɛ so sɛ,
15 Number the children of Levi after the house of their fathers, by their families: every male from a month old and upward shalt thou number them.
“Kan Lewifoɔ no wɔ wɔn mmusua ne afie mu. Kan ɔbarima biara firi deɛ wadi bosome baako so.”
16 And Moses numbered them according to the word of the LORD, as he was commanded.
Enti Mose kanee wɔn sɛdeɛ Awurade hyɛɛ no no.
17 And these were the sons of Levi, by their names; Gershon, and Kohath, and Merari.

21 Of Gershon [was] the family of the Libnites, and the family of the Shimites: these [are] the families of the Gershonites.

22 Those that were numbered of them, according to the number of all the males, from a month old and upward, [even] those that were numbered of them, [were] seven thousand and five hundred.
Na Gersonfoɔ mmarima a wɔadi bosome ne deɛ ɛboro saa a wɔfiri Gerson mmusua mu no dodoɔ yɛ mpem ahanson ne ahanum.
23 The families of the Gershonites shall pitch behind the tabernacle westward.
Wɔn atenaeɛ wɔ Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no akyi wɔ atɔeɛ fam.
24 And the chief of the house of the father of the Gershonites [shall be] Eliasaph the son of Lael.
Na Gersonfoɔ no ntuanoni ne Lael babarima Eliasaf.
25 And the charge of the sons of Gershon in the tabernacle of the congregation [shall be] the tabernacle, and the tent, its covering, and the hanging for the door of the tabernacle of the congregation,
Saa mmusuakuo mmienu yi na na wɔhwɛ Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no ne ne nkataho no ne ɛkwan nsɛnanotam no so.
26 And the hangings of the court, and the curtain for the door of the court, which [is] by the tabernacle, and by the altar round about, and the cords of it, for all the service of it.
Afei, na wɔhwɛ adihɔ nsɛnanotam a ɛtwa Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no ho ne afɔrebukyia ne adihɔ nsɛnanotam, nhoma ne ɛhɔ nneɛma a wɔde di dwuma ahodoɔ no nyinaa so.
27 And of Kohath [was] the family of the Amramites, and the family of the Izharites, and the family of the Hebronites, and the family of the Uzzielites: these [are] the families of the Kohathites.
Kohat asefoɔ yɛ mmusua a wɔfiri Amram, Ishar, Hebron ne Usiel ase.
28 In the number of all the males from a month old and upward, [were] eight thousand and six hundred, keeping the charge of the sanctuary.
Na Kehat mmusua no mu mmarima a wɔadi bosome ne deɛ ɛboro saa dodoɔ yɛ mpem aha nwɔtwe ne ahansia. Wɔn na na wɔhwɛ kronkronbea mu hɔ so.
29 The families of the sons of Kohath shall pitch on the side of the tabernacle southward.
Wɔmaa wɔn atenaeɛ wɔ Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no anafoɔ fam.
30 And the chief of the house of the father of the families of the Kohathites [shall be] Elizaphan the son of Uzziel.
Na Kohatfoɔ ntuanoni no ne Usiel babarima Elisafan.
31 And their charge [shall be] the ark, and the table, and the candlestick, and the altars, and the vessels of the sanctuary with which they minister, and the hanging, and all the service of it.
Saa mmusua ɛnan yi na na wɔhwɛ apam adaka, ɛpono, kaneadua, afɔrebukyia hodoɔ, ne deɛ ɛkeka ho a na wɔde di dwuma wɔ kronkronbea hɔ, mfimfini ntwamutam ne nneɛma a wɔde di dwuma ahodoɔ wɔ hɔ nyinaa no so.
32 And Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest [shall be] chief over the chief of the Levites, [and have] the oversight of them that keep the charge of the sanctuary.

Na Merari asefoɔ no yɛ mmusua a wɔfiri Mahli ne Musi ase.

35 And the chief of the house of the father of the families of Merari [was] Zuriel the son of Abihail: [these] shall pitch on the side of the tabernacle northward.
Merari abusua no ntuanoni ne Abihail babarima Suriel, na wɔtenaa Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no atifi fam.
36 And [under] the custody and charge of the sons of Merari [shall be] the boards of the tabernacle, and its bars, and its pillars, and its sockets, and all its vessels, and all that serveth to it.
Dwumadie a wɔde hyɛɛ saa mmusuakuo mmienu yi nsa ne sɛ, wɔbɛhwɛ Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no nnyinasoɔ so. Afei, wɔbɛhwɛ mmeamu nnua, mpunan, nsisisoɔ ne ɛho nneɛma a wɔde di dwuma nyinaa.
37 And the pillars of the court round about, and their sockets, and their pins, and their cords.
Afei, mpunan a ɛwɔ adihɔ hɔ nyinaa ne ne nsisisoɔ, mpɛɛwa, ne ntampehoma nyinaa, wɔbɛhwɛ so.
38 But those that encamp before the tabernacle towards the east, [even] before the tabernacle of the congregation eastward [shall be] Moses and Aaron, and his sons, keeping the charge of the sanctuary, for the charge of the children of Israel; and the stranger that cometh nigh shall be put to death.
Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no apueeɛ fam, deɛ owia pue firi no, wɔgya maa Mose ne Aaron ne ne mmammarima sɛ wɔnsisi wɔn ntomadan wɔ hɔ. Saa nnipa yi na na wɔsi Israelfoɔ no anan mu di Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no ho dwuma nyinaa. Onipa foforɔ biara a ɔbɛbɛn kronkronbea hɔ no, wɔbɛkum no.
39 All that were numbered of the Levites, whom Moses and Aaron numbered at the commandment of the LORD, throughout their families, all the males from a month old and upward, [were] twenty and two thousand.
Lewifoɔ a Awurade hyɛɛ Mose ne Aaron sɛ wɔnkan wɔn sɛdeɛ wɔn mmusua teɛ a ɔbarima biara a wɔadi bosome ne deɛ ɛboro saa ka ho no dodoɔ yɛ mpem aduonu mmienu.
40 And the LORD said to Moses, number all the first-born of the males of the children of Israel, from a month old and upward, and take the number of their names.
Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose sɛ, “Kan Israelfoɔ mmakan a wɔyɛ mmarima na wɔadi bosome ne deɛ ɛboro saa no, na twerɛ wɔn edin.
41 And thou shalt take the Levites for me (I [am] the LORD) instead of all the first-born among the children of Israel; and the cattle of the Levites, instead of all the firstlings among the cattle of the children of Israel.
Lewifoɔ no bɛyɛ me dea. Ma wɔnsi Israelfoɔ mmakan nyinaa anan mu, na Lewifoɔ nyɛmmoa mmakan nsi Israelfoɔ nyɛmmoa mmakan anan mu. Mene Awurade.”
42 And Moses numbered, as the LORD commanded him, all the first-born among the children of Israel.
Enti Mose kanee Israelfoɔ mmakan nyinaa sɛdeɛ Awurade hyɛɛ no no.
43 And all the first-born males by the number of names, from a month old and upward, of those that were numbered of them, were twenty and two thousand two hundred and seventy and three.
Mmammarima mmakan a wɔadi bosome ne deɛ ɛboro saa no a ɔtwerɛɛ wɔn edin no ano si mpem aduonu mmienu ahanu ne aduɔson mmiɛnsa.
44 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
Afei, Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose sɛ,
45 Take the Levites instead of all the first-born among the children of Israel, and the cattle of the Levites instead of their cattle; and the Levites shall be mine: I [am] the LORD.
“Ma Lewifoɔ nsi Israelfoɔ mmakan ananmu. Na Lewifoɔ nyɛmmoa mmakan nso nsi Israelfoɔ nyɛmmoa mmakan ananmu. Lewifoɔ yɛ me dea. Mene Awurade.
46 And for those that are to be redeemed of the two hundred and seventy and three, of the first-born of the children of Israel, which are more than the Levites:
Ansa na mobɛgye Israelfoɔ mmakan ahanu aduɔson mmiɛnsa no a wɔboro Lewifoɔ no dodoɔ so no,
47 Thou shalt even take five shekels apiece by the poll, after the shekel of the sanctuary shalt thou take [them]: the shekel [is] twenty gerahs.
momma wɔntua tiadeɛ, sɛdeɛ hyiadan mu nnwetɛbena teɛ, a emu duru yɛ gram aduonum nson.
48 And thou shalt give to Aaron and to his sons the money, with which the odd number of them is to be redeemed.
Fa tiadeɛ sika no ma Aaron ne ne mma.”
49 And Moses took the redemption-money of them that were over and above them that were redeemed by the Levites:
Enti Mose gyegyee Israelfoɔ ahanu aduɔson mmiɛnsa a na wɔboro Lewifoɔ no dodoɔ so no tiadeɛ.
50 Of the first-born of the children of Israel he took the money; a thousand three hundred and sixty and five [shekels], after the shekel of the sanctuary.
Sika a wɔgyegyeeɛ no nyinaa ano sii dwetɛ kilogram dunum ne fa.
51 And Moses gave the money of them that were redeemed to Aaron, and to his sons, according to the word of the LORD, as the LORD commanded Moses.
Na Mose de maa Aaron ne ne mmammarima sɛdeɛ Awurade hyɛɛ no no.
