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 Abanye emadodaneni abapristi babehlanganisa-ke amafutha amakha.
Nanso na asɔfo no na wodi nnuhuam no ne kurobow no ho dwuma.
31 LoMathithiya kumaLevi, owayelizibulo likaShaluma umKora, wayephathiswe umsebenzi wamaqebelengwana abhakwe emapanini.
