21 Khonapho, ekhunjini loMgelo we-Ahava, ngamemezela ukuzila ukudla, ukuze sizehlise phambi kukaNkulunkulu wethu simcele asiphe uhambo oluhle, thina labantwabethu, lempahla zethu zonke.
Na Ahawa Nsuka no so, mehyɛɛ sɛ yɛnni mmuada, na yɛmmrɛ yɛn ho ase mma Onyankopɔn. Yɛbɔɔ mpaeɛ sɛ ɔbɛma yɛakɔduru dwoodwoo, na wabɔ yɛn, yɛn mma ne yɛn nneɛma a yɛde rebɛtu kwan no ho ban.
22 Ngaba lenhloni ukucela enkosini amabutho labagadi bamabhiza ukuthi basivikele ezitheni endleleni ngoba inkosi sasiyitshele sathi, “Isandla somusa sikaNkulunkulu wethu siphezu kwakhe lowo okhangele kuye, kodwa ulaka lwakhe olukhulu luyavutha kulabo abamfulathelayo.”

23 Ngakho sazila ukudla, samncenga uNkulunkulu wethu ngakho lokhu, wawuphendula umkhuleko wethu.
Enti, yɛdii mmuada, bɔɔ mpaeɛ nokorɛ mu, sɛ yɛn Onyankopɔn bɛhwɛ yɛn, na ɔtiee yɛn mpaeɛbɔ.
24 Ngasengisehlukanisa kwabanye abaphristi abalitshumi lambili abangabakhokheli, ndawonye loSherebhiya, loHashabhiya labalitshumi labafowabo,
Na meyii asɔfoɔ no ntuanofoɔ dumienu a wɔne Serebia, Hasabia ne asɔfoɔ afoforɔ edu a wɔka wɔn ho,
25 ngabalinganisela umnikelo wesiliva legolide lempahla ezaziyizipho ezasisuka enkosini, labacebisi bayo, lezikhulu zayo labako-Israyeli bonke ababekhona lapho, siyisipho sendlu kaNkulunkulu.

27 imiganu yegolide engamatshumi amabili kuthiwa intengo yayo ingaba ngamadariki ayinkulungwane, lezitsha ezimbili ezethusi elilolongiweyo eliligugu njengegolide.
sikakɔkɔɔ atam aduonu a ɛne sikakɔkɔɔ pranpran apem boɔ yɛ pɛ, kɔbere nneɛma mmienu a wɔabere ho ma ɛrekɔyɛ sɛ sikakɔkɔɔ amapa.
28 Ngathi kubo, “Lina kanye lempahla lezi lingcwelisiwe eNkosini. Isiliva legolide kungumnikelo wokuzithandela kuThixo, uNkulunkulu wabokhokho benu.
Na meka kyerɛɛ saa asɔfoɔ yi sɛ, “Wɔayi mo ne saa agyapadeɛ yi nyinaa asi nkyɛn sɛ ade kronkron ama Awurade. Saa dwetɛ ne sikakɔkɔɔ yi yɛ akoma pa mu afɔrebɔdeɛ a wɔde rema Awurade, yɛn agyanom Onyankopɔn.
29 Kulindeni ngonanzelelo lize liyokulinganisa emakamelweni endlu kaThixo eJerusalema phambi kwabakhokheli babaphristi lamaLevi labayizinhloko zezimuli zako-Israyeli.”
Monhwɛ saa agyapadeɛ yi so yie, na momfa mma asɔfoɔ mpanin, Lewifoɔ ne Israel ntuanofoɔ wɔ adekoraeɛ a ɛwɔ Awurade asɔredan no mu wɔ Yerusalem no.”
30 Kwathi-ke abaphristi labaLevi basemukela isiliva legolide lempahla ezingcwele ezazilinganisiwe ukuze zisiwe endlini kaNkulunkulu wethu eJerusalema.
Enti, asɔfoɔ no ne Lewifoɔ no gye too wɔn ho so sɛ, wɔde saa Onyankopɔn asɔre sika no bɛkɔ Yerusalem.
31 Ngosuku lwetshumi lambili lwenyanga yokuqala saphakama sasuka eMgelweni we-Ahava saqonda eJerusalema. Isandla sikaNkulunkulu wethu sasiphezu kwethu, wasivikela ezitheni lasezigebengwini indlela yonke.
Yɛfirii Ahawa Nsuka atenaeɛ hɔ Ab bosome (bɛyɛ Oforisuo) da a ɛtɔ so dunkron, hyɛɛ aseɛ kɔɔ Yerusalem. Na Onyankopɔn ahummɔborɔ nsa no bɔɔ yɛn ho ban, gyee yɛn firii atamfoɔ ne akwanmukafoɔ nsam.
32 Ngakho safika eJerusalema, saphumula khona okwensuku ezintathu.

33 Ngosuku lwesine sangena endlini kaNkulunkulu salinganisa isiliva legolide lempahla zonke ezingcwelisiweyo sazibeka ezandleni zikaMeremothi indodana ka-Uriya umphristi. U-Eliyezari indodana kaFinehasi laye wayekhona, labaLevi oJozabhadi indodana kaJeshuwa loNowadiya indodana kaBhinuwi.
Yɛduruiɛ no, ne nnanan so, wɔkarii dwetɛ, sikakɔkɔɔ ne aboɔdenneɛ a aka no wɔ Onyankopɔn asɔredan no mu, na wɔde hyɛɛ Uria babarima ɔsɔfoɔ Meremot ne Pinehas babarima Eleasa ne Yesua babarima Yosabad ne Binui babarima Noadia a wɔn baanu no yɛ Lewifoɔ no nsa.

Wɔkanee biribiara dodoɔ, karii ne mu duru, twerɛɛ biribiara.
35 Yikho izithunywa ezabuya ebugqilini zenza umnikelo wokutshiswa kuNkulunkulu ka-Israyeli: inkunzi ezilitshumi lambili ezika-Israyeli wonke, inqama ezingamatshumi ayisificamunwemunye lesithupha, amawundlu amaduna angamatshumi ayisikhombisa lesikhombisa kanye lomnikelo wesono oyizimpongo ezilitshumi lambili. Konke lokhu kwakungumnikelo wokutshiswa kuThixo.
Na asutwafoɔ a wɔfiri nnommum mu baeɛ no de anantwie dumienu, nnwennini aduɔkron nsia ne nnwammaa aduɔson nson, bɔɔ ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ, maa Israel Onyankopɔn. Afei, wɔmaa mpapo dumienu sɛ bɔne ho afɔrebɔdeɛ. Wɔde yeinom nyinaa baeɛ sɛ ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ, maa Awurade.
36 Bathi njalo bethula imilayo yenkosi kuzikhulu zenkosi lakubabusi bangaphetsheya kweYufrathe, okwathi-ke bona bancedisa abantu kanye lasendlini kaNkulunkulu.
Wɔde ɔhene no mmara no maa ne mpanimfoɔ ne amradofoɔ a wɔwɔ asuo Eufrate atɔeɛ fam, na wɔn nyinaa yɛɛ baako, boaa Onyankopɔn asɔredan no sie.
