1 Chronicles 9
1 And all Israel have reckoned themselves by genealogy, and lo, they are written on the book of the kings of Israel and Judah — they were removed to Babylon for their trespass.
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 And the first inhabitants, who [are] in their possession, in their cities, of Israel, [are] the priests, the Levites, and the Nethinim.
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 sons of Judah, and of the sons of Benjamin, and of the sons of Ephraim and Manasseh:

9 And their brethren, according to their generations, [are] nine hundred and fifty and six. All these [are] men, heads of fathers, according to 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.

13 And their brethren, heads to the house of their fathers, a thousand and seven hundred and sixty, mighty in valour, [are] for the work of the service of the house of God.

17 And the gatekeepers [are] Shallum, and Akkub, and Talmon, and Ahiman, and their brethren — Shallum [is] the head;
Apon ano hwɛfo a wɔsan bae no yɛ: Salum, Akub, Talmon, Ahiman ne wɔn abusuafo. Salum na na ɔyɛ ɔpon ano hwɛfo panyin.
18 and hitherto they [are] at the gate of the king eastward; they [are] the gatekeepers for the companies of the sons 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 son of Kore, son of Ebiasaph, son of Korah, and his brethren, of the house of his father, the Korahites, [are] over the work of the service, keepers of the thresholds of the tent, and their fathers [are] over the camp of Jehovah, 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 son of Eleazar hath been leader over them formerly; Jehovah [is] with him.
Eleasar babarima Pinehas na kan no na ɔhwɛ apon ano ahwɛfo no so, na Awurade ka ne ho.
21 Zechariah son of Meshelemiah [is] gatekeeper at the opening of the tent of meeting.
Akyiri no, Meselemia babarima Sakaria na na ɔwɛn ɔkwan a ɛkɔ Ahyiae Ntamadan no mu no ano.
22 All of those who are chosen for gatekeepers at the thresholds [are] two hundred and twelve; they [are] in their villages, by their genealogy; they whom David and Samuel the seer appointed in their office.
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 And they and their sons [are] over the gates of the house of Jehovah, even of the house of the tent, by watches.
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 At four sides are the gatekeepers, 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 in their villages [are] to come in for seven days from time to time with these.
Bere ano bere ano, na wɔn abusuafo a wɔwɔ nkuraa no bɛboa wɔn wɔ wɔn nnanson nnanson dwumadi mu.
26 For in office [are] the four chiefs of the gatekeepers, they are Levites, and they have been over the chambers, and over the 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 round about the house of God they lodge, for on them [is] the watch, and they [are] over the opening, even morning by morning.
Wɔwɛn Onyankopɔn fi hɔ anadwo, efisɛ na ɛyɛ wɔn asɛde. Afei, na ɛyɛ wɔn adwuma sɛ da biara anɔpa wobuebue apon no.
28 And [some] of them [are] over the vessels of service, for by number they bring them in, and by number they take them out.
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 And [some] of them are appointed over the vessels, even over all the vessels of the sanctuary, and over 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 are mixing the mixture for spices.
Nanso na asɔfo no na wodi nnuhuam no ne kurobow no ho dwuma.
31 And Mattithiah, of the Levites (he [is] the first-born to Shallum the Korahite), [is] in office over the work of the pans.
Lewini a wɔfrɛ no Matitia a ɔyɛ Korani Salum abakan no na na ɔto brodo a wɔde bɔ afɔre no.
32 And of the sons of the Kohathite, [some] of their brethren [are] over the bread of the arrangement, to prepare [it] sabbath by sabbath.
Na nnipa bi a wofi Kohat abusua mu nso na na wɔhwɛ, siesie brodo a wɔde to pon Homeda no.
33 And these who sing, heads of fathers of the Levites, in the chambers, [are] free, for by day and by night [they are] over them in the work.
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 heads of the fathers of the Levites throughout their generations [are] heads. These have dwelt in 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 hath the father of Gibeon, Jehiel, and the name of his wife [is] Maachah;

38 And Mikloth begat Shimeam, and they also, over-against their brethren, have dwelt in Jerusalem with their brethren.
