Numbers 8
1 And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,
Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose sɛ,
2 'Speak unto Aaron, and thou hast said unto him, In thy causing the lights to go up, over-against the face of the candlestick do the seven lights give light.'
“Ka kyerɛ Aaron sɛ, sɛ ɔsɔ nkanea nson a ɛwɔ kaneadua no so no a, ɔnsɔ no sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a, ɛbɛto ne hann no akɔ nʼanim.”
3 And Aaron doth so; over-against the face of the candlestick he hath caused its lights to go up, as Jehovah hath commanded Moses.
Enti, Aaron yɛɛ saa.
4 And this [is] the work of the candlestick: beaten work of gold; unto its thigh, unto its flower it [is] beaten work; as the appearance which Jehovah shewed Moses, so he hath made the candlestick.
Kaneadua no ne nhwiren a wɔde asiesie nʼase ne ne mman no nyinaa, sikakɔkɔɔ a wɔaboro na wɔde yɛeɛ. Wɔyɛɛ no sɛdeɛ Awurade kyerɛɛ Mose sɛ wɔnyɛ no no.
5 And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,
Afei, Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose sɛ,
6 'Take the Levites from the midst of the sons of Israel, and thou hast cleansed them.
“Yi Lewifoɔ no firi Israelfoɔ no mu na te wɔn ho.
7 'And thus thou dost to them to cleanse them: sprinkle upon them waters of atonement, and they have caused a razor to pass over all their flesh, and have washed their garments, and cleansed themselves,
Fa ahodwira nsuo pete wɔn so. Ma wɔnyi wɔn ho nwi nyinaa, na wɔnsi wɔn nneɛma nyinaa, afei wɔn ho bɛte.
8 and have taken a bullock, a son of the herd, and its present, flour mixed with oil, — and a second bullock a son of the herd thou dost take for a sin-offering,
Afei, ma wɔmfa nantwinini ba ne aduane afɔrebɔdeɛ a ɛyɛ asikyiresiam a wɔayam no muhumuhu a wɔde ngo afra a nantwinini ba baako ka ho a wɔde no bɛbɔ bɔne ho afɔdeɛ mmra.
9 and thou hast brought near the Levites before the tent of meeting, and thou hast assembled the whole company of the sons of Israel,
Afei, frɛ Israelfoɔ no nyinaa hyia na fa Lewifoɔ no bra Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no ɛpono ano.
10 and thou hast brought near the Levites before Jehovah, and the sons of Israel have laid their hands on the Levites,
Ɛhɔ, wɔ Awurade anim, mpanimfoɔ a wɔtuatua mmusuakuo no ano no de wɔn nsa bɛgu wɔn so
11 and Aaron hath waved the Levites — a wave-offering before Jehovah, from the sons of Israel, and they have been — for doing the service of Jehovah.
na Aaron ayɛ nsɛnkyerɛnneɛ bi sɛ ɔde wɔn rema Awurade sɛ akyɛdeɛ a ɛfiri Israel manfoɔ nyinaa nkyɛn. Lewifoɔ bɛsi nnipa no nyinaa anan asom Awurade.
12 'And the Levites lay their hands on the head of the bullocks, and make thou the one a sin-offering, and the one a burnt-offering to Jehovah, to atone for the Levites,
“Afei, Lewifoɔ mpanimfoɔ no de wɔn nsa bɛgu nantwie mma no apampam na wɔde wɔn ama Awurade. Wɔde baako bɛbɔ bɔne ho afɔdeɛ na wɔde baako nso abɔ ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ de ayɛ mpatadeɛ ama Lewifoɔ no.
13 and thou hast caused the Levites to stand before Aaron, and before his sons, and hast waved them — a wave-offering to Jehovah;
Afei, wɔde Lewifoɔ no bɛma Aaron ne ne mma te sɛ deɛ wɔde afɔrebɔdeɛ biara fa asɔfoɔ so de ma Awurade no.
14 and thou hast separated the Levites from the midst of the sons of Israel, and the Levites have become Mine;
Monam saa ɛkwan yi so bɛyi Lewifoɔ no afiri Israelfoɔ no mu ama me, na wɔayɛ me dea.
15 and afterwards do the Levites come in to serve the tent of meeting, and thou hast cleansed them, and hast waved them — a wave-offering.
“Sɛ mote wɔn ho na mofa saa ɛkwan yi so de wɔn ma me a, afei, wɔbɛdi ahyɛnfirie wɔ Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no mu, adi wɔn dwuma.
16 'For they are certainly given to Me out of the midst of the sons of Israel, instead of him who openeth any womb — the first-born of all — from the sons of Israel I have taken them to Myself;
Israelfoɔ mu nyinaa, wɔn na wɔyɛ me nkurɔfoɔ, na magye wɔn atom asi Israelfoɔ mmakan nyinaa anan. Mafa Lewifoɔ no sɛ wɔn ananmusifoɔ.
17 for Mine [is] every first-born among the sons of Israel, among man and among beast; in the day of my smiting every first-born in the land of Egypt I sanctified them for Myself;
Ɛfiri sɛ, Israelfoɔ mmakan nyinaa yɛ me dea—nnipa ne mmoa nyinaa. Anadwo a mekumm Misraimfoɔ mmakan nyinaa no ara na mefaa wɔn de wɔn yɛɛ me nkurɔfoɔ.
18 and I take the Levites instead of every first-born among the sons of Israel:
Mafa Lewifoɔ no asi Israelfoɔ mmakan nyinaa anan mu.
19 'And I give the Levites gifts to Aaron and to his sons, from the midst of the sons of Israel, to do the service of the sons of Israel in the tent of meeting, and to make atonement for the sons of Israel, and there is no plague among the sons of Israel in the sons of Israel's drawing nigh unto the sanctuary.'
Na mede Lewifoɔ no bɛkyɛ Aaron ne ne mmammarima. Lewifoɔ no na wɔbɛyɛ Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no mu nnwuma kronkron a anka ɛsɛ sɛ Israelfoɔ no na wɔyɛ, na wɔn na wɔbɛbɔ afɔdeɛ ama nkurɔfoɔ de ayɛ mpatadeɛ ama wɔn. Ɔyaredɔm biara renka Israelfoɔ no, nanso sɛ nnipa afoforɔ biara kɔ Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no mu a, wɔbɛyareyare.”
20 And Moses doth — Aaron also, and all the company of the sons of Israel — to the Levites according to all that Jehovah hath commanded Moses concerning the Levites; so have the sons of Israel done to them.
Enti, Mose ne Aaron ne Israelfoɔ no nyinaa faa ɛkwan a Awurade kyerɛɛ Mose no so pɛpɛɛpɛ de Lewifoɔ no maa Awurade.
21 And the Levites cleanse themselves, and wash their garments, and Aaron waveth them a wave-offering before Jehovah, and Aaron maketh atonement for them to cleanse them,
Lewifoɔ no dwiraa wɔn ho, sii wɔn nneɛma ɛnna Aaron de wɔn hyɛɛ Awurade nsa. Ɔyɛɛ wɔn ho mpatadwuma de tee wɔn ho.
22 and afterwards have the Levites gone in to do their service in the tent of meeting, before Aaron and before his sons; as Jehovah hath commanded Moses concerning the Levites, so they have done to them.
Ɛno akyi, wɔkɔɔ Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no mu sɛ Aaron ne ne mmammarima aboafoɔ. Wɔyɛɛ biribiara sɛdeɛ Awurade hyɛɛ Mose sɛ wɔnyɛ no.
23 And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,
Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose sɛ,
24 'This [is] that which [is] the Levites': from a son of five and twenty years and upward he doth go in to serve the host in the service of the tent of meeting,
“Sɛ Lewini biara di mfeɛ aduonu enum a, ma no mfiri aseɛ nsom wɔ Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan mu,
25 and from a son of fifty years he doth return from the host of the service, and doth not serve any more,
na wɔdi mfeɛ aduonum a, wɔapɔn wɔn ho.
26 and he hath ministered with his brethren in the tent of meeting, to keep the charge, and doth not do service; thus thou dost to the Levites concerning their charge.'
Sɛ wɔpɔn wɔn ho a, wɔtumi di dwuma nketenkete wɔ Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan mu hɔ. Wɔrenyɛ nnwuma a daa ɛbɛgye wɔn berɛ.”
