Ezra 8
1 And these [are] heads of their fathers, and the genealogy of those going up with me, in the reign of Artaxerxes the king, from Babylon.
Eyinom ne abusua mu ntuanofo ne anato ahorow a ɔhene Artasasta di ade no, wɔne me fi Babilonia bae:
2 From the sons of Phinehas: Gershom; from the sons of Ithamar: Daniel; from the sons of David: Hattush;

13 And from the younger sons of Adonikam — and these [are] their names — Eliphelet, Jeiel, and Shemaiah, and with them sixty who are males.
Adonikam asefo a wotwa to no: wɔn din de Elifelet, Yeiel, ne Semaia a, mmarima afoforo bi aduosia ka wɔn ho.
14 And from the sons of Bigvai, Uthai and Zabbud, and with them seventy who are males.
Bigwai asefo mu no: Utai ne Sakur a mmarima afoforo bi aduɔson ka wɔn ho.
15 And I gather them unto the river that is going unto Ahava, and we encamp there three days; and I consider about the people, and about the priests, and of the sons of Levi I have found none there;
Meboaa nnommum no ano wɔ Ahawa nsukwan no so, na yɛma wɔtenaa hɔ nnansa, bere a merehwɛ nnipa no ne asɔfo a wɔabedu hɔ no din mu no, mihuu sɛ Lewifo no mu baako mpo antu ne ho ansi hɔ.
16 and I send for Eliezer, for Ariel, for Shemaiah, and for Elnathan, and for Jarib, and for Elnathan, and for Nathan, and for Zechariah, and for Meshullam, heads, and for Joiarib, and for Elnathan, men of understanding;
Enti mesoma ma wɔkɔfrɛɛ Elieser, Ariel, Semaia, Elnatan, Yarib, Elnatan, Natan, Sakaria ne Mesulam, a wɔyɛ ɔmanfo no ntuanofo no. Mesan soma ma wɔkɔfrɛɛ Yoiarib ne Elnatan, a na wɔyɛ nimdefo no nso;
17 and I charge them for Iddo the head, in the place Casiphia, and put in their mouth words to speak unto Iddo, [and] his brethren the Nethinim, in the place Casiphia, to bring to us ministrants for the house of our God.
na mema wɔkɔɔ Ido a na otua Lewifo no ano no nkyɛn wɔ Kasifia. Mekyerɛɛ wɔn nea wɔnka nkyerɛ Ido ne nʼabusuafo ne asɔredan no mu asomfo no wɔ Kasifia, sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a wɔde ahwɛfo bɛbrɛ yɛn wɔ yɛn Nyankopɔn fi.
18 And they bring to us, according to the good hand of our God upon us, a man of understanding, of the sons of Mahli, son of Levi, son of Israel, and Sherebiah, and his sons, and his brethren, eighteen;
Esiane sɛ Onyankopɔn adom nsa wɔ yɛn so no nti, wɔbrɛɛ yɛn ɔbarima bi a ne din de Serebia, a ne mmabarima ne ne nuabarimanom dunwɔtwe ka ne ho. Na ɔyɛ onyansafo a ɔyɛ Mahli a na ɔyɛ Israel babarima Lewi no aseni,
19 and Hashabiah, and with him Jeshaiah, of the sons of Merari, his brethren, and their sons, twenty;
ne Merari asefo Yesaia, Hasabia ne ne mmabarima ne ne nuabarimanom aduonu
20 and from the Nethinim, whom David and the heads gave for the service of the Levites, two hundred and twenty Nethinim, all of them defined by name.
ne asɔredan no mu asomfo ahannu ne aduonu bae. Na asɔredan mu asomfo no yɛ Lewifo no aboafo a na wɔyɛ asɔredan mu adwumayɛfo kuw bi a Dawid na ɔfaa wɔn kan. Wɔkyerɛw wɔn nyinaa din.
21 And I proclaim there a fast, by the river Ahava, to afflict ourselves before our God, to seek from Him a right way for us, and for our infants, and for all our substance,
Na Ahawa Suka no ho no, mehyɛɛ sɛ yenni mmuada, na yɛmmrɛ yɛn ho ase mma Onyankopɔn. Yɛbɔɔ mpae sɛ ɔbɛma yɛakodu dwoodwoo, na wabɔ yɛn ne yɛn mma ne yɛn nneɛma a yɛde rebetu kwan no ho ban.
22 for I was ashamed to ask from the king a force and horsemen to help us because of the enemy in the way, for we spake to the king, saying, 'The hand of our God [is] upon all seeking Him for good, and His strength and His wrath [is] upon all forsaking Him.'
Na mefɛree sɛ mebisa ɔhene no sɛ ɔmma yɛn asraafo ne apɔnkɔsotefo na wɔnka yɛn ho mmɔ yɛn ho ban wɔ ɔkwan so, efisɛ na yɛaka akyerɛ ɔhene no se, “Yɛn Nyankopɔn bɔ wɔn a wɔsom no no ho ban, na nʼabufuwhyew no tia wɔn a wɔpo no.”
23 And we fast, and seek from our God for this, and He is entreated of us.
Enti yedii mmuada, bɔɔ mpae srɛɛ yɛn Nyankopɔn wɔ eyi ho, na otiee yɛn mpaebɔ.
24 And I separate from the heads of the priests, twelve, even Sherebiah, Hashabiah, and with them of their brethren ten,
Na miyii asɔfo no ntuanofo dumien a wɔne Serebia, Hasabia ne asɔfo afoforo du a wɔka wɔn ho
25 and I weigh to them the silver, and the gold, and the vessels, a heave-offering of the house of our God, that the king, and his counsellors, and his heads, and all Israel — those present — lifted up;
sɛ wɔnhwɛ dwetɛ, sikakɔkɔɔ, sikakɔkɔɔ hweaseammɔ ne nneɛma a ɛka ho a ɔhene no nʼagyinatufo, ne ntuanofo ne Israelfo de ama Onyankopɔn fi no so.
26 and I weigh to their hand, of silver, talents six hundred and fifty, and of vessels of silver a hundred talents, of gold a hundred talents,
Mede agude no rema wɔn no, mekarii na mihuu sɛ emu duru yɛ: dwetɛ nkaribo tɔn aduonu anan, sikakɔkɔɔ nkuku ne nkaka nkaribo pɔn mpem ahanson ne ahannum, sikakɔkɔɔ nkaribo pɔn mpem ahanson ne ahannum,
27 and basins of gold twenty, of a thousand drams, and two vessels of good shining brass, desirable as gold.
sikakɔkɔɔ hweaseammɔ aduonu a ɛne sikakɔkɔɔ nnwetɛbona apem bo yɛ pɛ, kɔbere nneɛma abien a wɔabere ho ma ɛrekɔyɛ sɛ sikakɔkɔɔ ankasa.
28 And I say unto them, 'Ye [are] holy to Jehovah, and the vessels [are] holy, and the silver and the gold [are] a willing-offering to Jehovah, God of your fathers;
Na meka kyerɛɛ saa asɔfo yi se, “Wɔayi mo ne saa agyapade yi nyinaa asi nkyɛn sɛ ade kronkron ama Awurade. Saa dwetɛ ne sikakɔkɔɔ yi yɛ koma pa mu afɔrebɔde a wɔde rema Awurade, yɛn agyanom Nyankopɔn.
29 watch, and keep, till ye weigh before the heads of the priests, and of the Levites, and the heads of the fathers of Israel, in Jerusalem, in the chambers of the house of Jehovah.'
Monhwɛ saa agyapade yi so yiye, na momfa mma asɔfo mpanyin, Lewifo ne Israel ntuanofo wɔ adekorae a ɛwɔ Yerusalem asɔredan no mu no.”
30 And the priests and the Levites took the weight of the silver, and of the gold, and of the vessels, to bring to Jerusalem to the house of our God.
Enti asɔfo no ne Lewifo no gye too wɔn ho so sɛ wɔde saa Onyankopɔn asɔre sika no bɛkɔ Yerusalem.
31 And we journey from the river Ahava, on the twelfth of the first month, to go to Jerusalem, and the hand of our God hath been upon us, and He delivereth us from the hand of the enemy and the lier in wait by the way;
Yefii Ahawa Suka atenae hɔ Ab ɔsram (bɛyɛ Oforisuo) da a ɛto so dunkron, sii mu kɔɔ Yerusalem. Na Onyankopɔn nsa no bɔɔ yɛn ho ban, gyee yɛn fii atamfo ne akwamukafo nsam.
32 and we come in to Jerusalem, and dwell there three days.
Enti yekoduu Yerusalem dwoodwoo, homee wɔ hɔ nnansa.
33 And on the fourth day hath been weighed the silver, and the gold, and the vessels, in the house of our God, unto the hand of Meremoth son of Uriah the priest, and with him Eleazar son of Phinehas, and with them Jozabad son of Jeshua, and Noadiah son of Binnui, the Levites:
Yeduu no, ne nnaanan so no, wɔkarii dwetɛ, sikakɔkɔɔ ne aboɔdenne a aka no wɔ Onyankopɔn asɔredan no mu, na wɔde hyɛɛ Uria babarima ɔsɔfo Meremot ne Pinehas babarima Eleasar ne Yesua babarima Yosabad ne Binui babarima Noadia a wɔn baanu no yɛ Lewifo no nsa.
34 by number, by weight of every one, and all the weight is written at that time.
Wɔkan biribiara dodow, karii mu duru, kyerɛw biribiara.
35 Those coming in of the captives — sons of the removal — have brought near burnt-offerings to the God of Israel, bullocks twelve, for all Israel, rams ninety and six, lambs seventy and seven, young he-goats for a sin-offering twelve — the whole a burnt-offering to Jehovah;
Na wɔn a wofi nnommum mu bae no de anantwi dumien, adwennini aduɔkron asia ne nguantenmma aduɔson ason, bɔɔ ɔhyew afɔre, maa Israel Nyankopɔn. Afei, wɔmaa mmirekyi dumien sɛ bɔne ho afɔrebɔde. Wɔde eyinom nyinaa bae sɛ ɔhyew afɔre maa Awurade.
36 and they give the laws of the king to the lieutenants of the king and the governors beyond the river, and they have lifted up the people and the house of God.
Wɔde ɔhene no mmara no maa ne mpanyimfo ne amradofo a wɔwɔ asu Eufrate agya no, na wɔn nyinaa yɛɛ baako boaa Onyankopɔn asɔredan no si.
