Numbers 3
1 And these [are] births of Aaron and Moses, in the day of Jehovah's speaking 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: the first-born Nadab, 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 anointed priests, whose hand he hath consecrated for acting as priest.
Yeinom ne Aaron mma a wɔasra wɔn ngo na wɔayi wɔn asi hɔ sɛ asɔfoɔ.
4 And Nadab dieth — Abihu also — before Jehovah, in their bringing near strange fire before Jehovah, in the wilderness of Sinai, and sons they had not; and Eleazar — Ithamar also — acteth as priest in the presence 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 Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,
Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose sɛ:
6 'Bring near the tribe of Levi, and thou hast caused it to stand before Aaron the priest, and they have served him,
“Frɛ Lewifoɔ no, na fa wɔn ma ɔsɔfoɔ Aaron sɛ nʼaboafoɔ.
7 and kept his charge, and the charge of all the company before the tent of meeting, to do the service of the tabernacle;
Wɔbɛyɛ adwuma wɔ Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no mu ama ɔsɔfoɔ Aaron ne nnipa no nyinaa.
8 and they have kept all the vessels of the tent of meeting, and the charge of the sons 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 hast given the Levites to Aaron and to his sons; they are surely given to him out of the sons of Israel.
Fa Lewifoɔ no ma Aaron ne ne mmammarima; wɔn ne Israelfoɔ a wɔde wɔn bɛma no korakora.
10 'And Aaron and his sons thou dost appoint, and they have kept their priesthood, and the stranger who cometh near is 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 Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,
Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose sɛ,
12 'And I, lo, I have taken the Levites from the midst of the sons of Israel instead of every first-born opening a womb among the sons of Israel, and the Levites have been 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 for Mine [is] every first-born, in the day of My smiting every first-born in the land of Egypt I have sanctified to Myself every first-born in Israel, from man unto beast; Mine they are; I [am] Jehovah.'
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 Jehovah speaketh unto Moses in the wilderness of Sinai, saying,
Afei, Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose wɔ Sinai ɛserɛ so sɛ,
15 'Number the sons of Levi by the house of their fathers, by their families; every male from a son of a month and upward thou dost number them.'
“Kan Lewifoɔ no wɔ wɔn mmusua ne afie mu. Kan ɔbarima biara firi deɛ wadi bosome baako so.”
16 And Moses numbereth them according to the command of Jehovah, as he hath been commanded.
Enti Mose kanee wɔn sɛdeɛ Awurade hyɛɛ no no.
17 And these are sons of Levi by their names: Gershon, and Kohath, and Merari.
Yeinom ne Lewi mmammarima: Gerson, Kohat ne Merari.
18 And these [are] the names of the sons of Gershon by their families: Libni and Shimei.

19 And the sons of Kohath, by their families, [are] Amram and Izhar, Hebron and Uzziel.
Kohat asefoɔ: Amram, Ishar, Hebron ne Usiel.
20 And the sons of Merari by their families [are] Mahli and Mushi; these are the families of the Levites, by the house of their fathers.
Merari asefoɔ: Mahli ne Musi. Yeinom ne Lewifoɔ sɛdeɛ wɔn mmusua ne wɔn afie teɛ.
21 Of Gershon [is] the family of the Libnite, and the family of the Shimite; these are the families of the Gershonite.
Gerson asefoɔ no na wɔyɛ mmusua a wɔfiri Libni ne Simei ase.
22 Their numbered ones, in number, every male from a son of a month and upward, their numbered ones [are] 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 Gershonite, behind the tabernacle, do encamp westward.
Wɔn atenaeɛ wɔ Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no akyi wɔ atɔeɛ fam.
24 And the prince of a father's house for the Gershonite [is] Eliasaph son of Lael.
Na Gersonfoɔ no ntuanoni ne Lael babarima Eliasaf.
25 And the charge of the sons of Gershon in the tent of meeting [is] the tabernacle, and the tent, its covering, and the vail at the opening of the tent of meeting,
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 vail at the opening of the court, which [is] by the tabernacle and by the altar round about, and its cords, to all its service.
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 [is] the family of the Amramite, and the family of the Izharite, and the family of the Hebronite, and the family of the Uzzielite; these are families of the Kohathite.
Kohat asefoɔ yɛ mmusua a wɔfiri Amram, Ishar, Hebron ne Usiel ase.
28 In number, all the males, from a son of a month and upward, [are] 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 encamp by the side of the tabernacle southward.
Wɔmaa wɔn atenaeɛ wɔ Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no anafoɔ fam.
30 And the prince of a father's house for the families of the Kohathite [is] Elizaphan son of Uzziel.
Na Kohatfoɔ ntuanoni no ne Usiel babarima Elisafan.
31 And their charge [is] the ark, and the table, and the candlestick, and the altars, and the vessels of the sanctuary with which they serve, and the vail, and all its service.
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 [to] the prince of the princes of the Levites, Eleazar son of Aaron the priest, [is] the oversight of the keepers of the charge of the sanctuary.
Aaron babarima ɔsɔfoɔ Eleasa no na na ɔyɛ ɔpanin wɔ Lewifoɔ no nyinaa so. Ɔyɛɛ no panin wɔ asɔfoɔ a wɔhwɛ kronkronbea no so.
33 Of Merari [is] the family of the Mahlite, and the family of the Mushite; these [are] the families of Merari.
Na Merari asefoɔ no yɛ mmusua a wɔfiri Mahli ne Musi ase.
34 And their numbered ones, in number, all the males from a son of a month and upward, [are] six thousand and two hundred.
Merarifoɔ mmusua no mu na mmarima a wɔadi bosome ne deɛ ɛboro saa dodoɔ yɛ mpem nsia ne ahanu.
35 And the prince of a father's house for the families of Merari [is] Zuriel son of Abihail; by the side of the tabernacle they encamp northward.
Merari abusua no ntuanoni ne Abihail babarima Suriel, na wɔtenaa Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no atifi fam.
36 And the oversight — the charge of the sons of Merari — [is] the boards of the tabernacle, and its bars, and its pillars, and its sockets, and all its vessels, and all its service,
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 And those encamping before the tabernacle eastward, before the tent of meeting, at the east, [are] Moses and Aaron, and his sons, keeping the charge of the sanctuary for the charge of the sons of Israel, and the stranger who cometh near is 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 those numbered of the Levites whom Moses numbered — Aaron also — by the command of Jehovah, by their families, every male from a son of a month and upward, [are] two and twenty 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 Jehovah saith unto Moses, 'Number every first-born male of the sons of Israel from a son of a month and upward, and take up 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 hast taken the Levites for Me (I [am] Jehovah), instead of every first-born among the sons of Israel, and the cattle of the Levites instead of every firstling among the cattle of the sons 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 numbereth, as Jehovah hath commanded him, all the first-born among the sons of Israel.
Enti Mose kanee Israelfoɔ mmakan nyinaa sɛdeɛ Awurade hyɛɛ no no.
43 And all the first-born — male — by the number of names, from a son of a month and upward, of their numbered ones, are two and twenty 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 Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,
Afei, Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose sɛ,
45 'Take the Levites instead of every first-born among the sons of Israel, and the cattle of the Levites instead of their cattle; and the Levites have been Mine; I [am] Jehovah.
“Ma Lewifoɔ nsi Israelfoɔ mmakan ananmu. Na Lewifoɔ nyɛmmoa mmakan nso nsi Israelfoɔ nyɛmmoa mmakan ananmu. Lewifoɔ yɛ me dea. Mene Awurade.
46 'And [from] those ransomed of the two hundred and seventy and three (who are more than the Levites) of the first-born of the sons of Israel,
Ansa na mobɛgye Israelfoɔ mmakan ahanu aduɔson mmiɛnsa no a wɔboro Lewifoɔ no dodoɔ so no,
47 thou hast even taken five shekels a-piece by the poll — by the shekel of the sanctuary thou takest; twenty gerahs the shekel [is];
momma wɔntua tiadeɛ, sɛdeɛ hyiadan mu nnwetɛbena teɛ, a emu duru yɛ gram aduonum nson.
48 and thou hast given the money to Aaron, and to his sons, whereby those over and above are ransomed.'
Fa tiadeɛ sika no ma Aaron ne ne mma.”
49 And Moses taketh the ransom money from those over and above those ransomed by the Levites;
Enti Mose gyegyee Israelfoɔ ahanu aduɔson mmiɛnsa a na wɔboro Lewifoɔ no dodoɔ so no tiadeɛ.
50 from the first-born of the sons of Israel he hath taken the money, a thousand and three hundred and sixty and five — by the shekel of the sanctuary;
Sika a wɔgyegyeeɛ no nyinaa ano sii dwetɛ kilogram dunum ne fa.
51 and Moses giveth the money of those ransomed to Aaron, and to his sons, according to the command of Jehovah, as Jehovah hath commanded Moses.
Na Mose de maa Aaron ne ne mmammarima sɛdeɛ Awurade hyɛɛ no no.
