Nomipā 18
1 Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Sihova kia ʻElone, “Ko koe mo ho ngaahi foha mo e fale ʻo hoʻo ngaahi tamai te mou fua ʻae hia ʻoe faletapu: pea ko koe mo ho ngaahi foha te mou fua ʻae hia ʻa hoʻomou ngāue fakataulaʻeiki.
Awurade kasa kyerɛɛ Aaron sɛ, “Wo, wo mmammarima ne wʼabusuafoɔ a wɔfiri Lewi abusuakuo mu no, mfomsoɔ biara a ɛfa kronkronbea hɔ no ho asodie bɛda mo so. Na sɛ biribi ankɔ so yie wɔ asɔfodwuma no mu a, wɔbɛbisa wo ne wo mmammarima ho asɛm.
2 Pea te mou ʻomi fakataha foki mo koe ho kāinga ʻi he faʻahinga ʻo Livai, ko e faʻahinga ʻo hoʻo tamai, koeʻuhi te mou feangai mo koe, ʻo ngāue kiate koe: ka ko koe mo ho ngaahi foha te mou fakataha[ʻo ngāue ]ʻi he matafale fehikitaki ʻoe fakamoʻoni.
Fa wo nkurɔfoɔ a wɔwɔ Lewi abusuakuo no mu ma wɔmmoa wo mmammarima wɔ dwumadie kronkron no a wɔyɛ no Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no anim.
3 Pea tenau tokanga ki hoʻo ngāue, mo e tauhi kotoa pē ʻoe fale fehikitaki: kaeʻoua tenau haʻu ke ofi ki he ngaahi ipu ʻoe faletapu mo e feilaulauʻanga, telia naʻa nau mate ai, mo kimoutolu foki.
Ɛsɛ sɛ Lewifoɔ no hwɛ yie na wɔansɔ biribiara a ɛyɛ kronkron wɔ afɔrebukyia no so mu. Sɛ wɔyɛ saa a, mɛsɛe wo ne wɔn.
4 Pea tenau fakataha ʻakinautolu kiate koe, ʻo tokanga ki he tauhi ʻoe fale fehikitaki ʻoe kakai, ki he ngāue kotoa pē ʻoe fale fehikitaki: pea ʻe ʻikai haʻu ha muli ke ofi kiate kimoutolu.
Obiara a ɔmfiri Lewi abusua mu nni ho kwan sɛ ɔboa wo ɛkwan biara so.
5 Pea te mou tokanga ki he tauhi ʻoe faletapu, mo e tauhi ʻoe feilaulauʻanga: koeʻuhi ke ʻoua naʻa toe hoko ʻae houhau ki he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli.
“Kae sɛ asɔfoɔ no nko ara na ɛsɛ sɛ wɔdi dwuma a ɛho te wɔ kronkronbea hɔ ne afɔrebukyia no so. Sɛ wodi saa mmara yi so a, Onyankopɔn abufuo no remma Israelfoɔ no so bio sɛ wɔabu mmara yi so.
6 Pea ko au, vakai, kuo u ʻomi homou kāinga ʻoe kau Livai mei he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli: ʻoku foaki ʻakinautolu ʻo hangē ko e meʻa foaki kiate kimoutolu maʻa Sihova, ke fai ʻae ngāue ʻoe fale fehikitaki ʻoe kakai.
Meka bio sɛ, Lewifoɔ a wɔyɛ wo nkurɔfoɔ no na wɔmmoa wo wɔ Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no mu dwumadie no. Wɔyɛ akyɛdeɛ firi Awurade hɔ ma wo.
7 Pea ko ia, ko koe mo ho ngaahi foha te mou tokanga ki hoʻomou ngāue fakataulaʻeiki ki he meʻa kotoa pē ʻoe feilaulauʻanga, mo e loto puipui; pea te mou tauhi: kuo u foaki kiate kimoutolu hoʻomou ngāue fakataulaʻeiki ʻo hangē ko e meʻa foaki: pea ko e muli ʻe haʻu ʻo ofi ʻe tāmateʻi ia.”
Nanso, wo ne wo mmammarima asɔfoɔ no ankasa na mobɛdi dwuma a ɛho te wɔ afɔrebukyia no so ne deɛ ɛwɔ ntwamutam no mu, na asɔfodwuma no deɛ, ɛyɛ mo ara mo dom akyɛdeɛ dwumadie. Onipa foforɔ biara a ɔbɛyɛ nʼadwene sɛ ɔbɛdi dwuma no bi no bɛwu.”
8 Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia ʻElone, ʻo pehē, “Kuo u foaki foki kiate koe ʻae tauhi ʻo ʻeku feilaulau hiki hake ʻi he ngaahi meʻa tapu kotoa pē ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli; kuo u foaki ia kiate koe koeʻuhi ko e fakanofo, pea ki ho ngaahi foha, ʻi he talatuku ʻo lauikuonga.
Awurade sane ka kyerɛɛ Aaron sɛ: “Mede akyɛdeɛ a nkurɔfoɔ de abrɛ Awurade no nyinaa ama asɔfoɔ no; saa akyɛdeɛ yi a wɔhim no Awurade anim nam so de kyɛɛ no wɔ afɔrebukyia no anim no no, daa daa mmara enti, ɛyɛ mo ne mo mmammarima dea.

Ɛsɛ sɛ wɔdi no baabi a ɛyɛ kronkron pa ara. Na mmarima nko ara na ɛsɛ sɛ wɔdie.
11 Pea ko e meʻa eni ʻaʻau; ko e feilaulau hiki hake ʻoku nau foaki, fakataha mo e ngaahi feilaulau lialiaki kotoa pē ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli: kuo u foaki ia kiate koe, mo ho ngaahi foha, pea mo ho ngaahi ʻofefine fakataha mo koe, ʻi he fekau ʻo lauikuonga: ko ia kotoa pē ʻoku maʻa ʻi ho fale te ne kai mei ai.
“Akyɛdeɛ afoforɔ a wɔnam him a wɔbɛhim wɔ afɔrebukyia no so de bɛkyɛ me no yɛ wo ne wʼabusuafoɔ, wo mmammarima ne wo mmammaa nyinaa dea. Na wʼabusuafoɔ nyinaa tumi di bi, agye obi a saa ɛberɛ no na ne ho nte.
12 Ko e lelei kotoa pē ʻoe lolo, mo e lelei kotoa pē ʻoe uaine, pea mo e uite, ko hono ʻuluaki fua ʻaia tenau ʻatu kia Sihova, kuo u foaki ia kiate koe.
“Otwa berɛ a ɛdi ɛkan mu akyɛdeɛ a nnipa no de bɛba sɛ afɔrebɔdeɛ a wɔde rebrɛ Awurade no a ɛyɛ ngo pa, bobesa pa, aburoo ne afudeɛ biara no, ne nyinaa yɛ mo dea.
13 Pea mo ia ʻoku fuofua moho ʻi he fonua, ʻaia tenau ʻomi kia Sihova, ʻe ʻaʻau ia; ko ia kotoa pē ʻoku maʻa ʻi ho fale te ne kai mei ai.

“Nanso anantwie, nnwan ne mpɔnkye mmakan deɛ, ɛnsɛ sɛ wɔgye wɔn. Ɛsɛ sɛ wɔde wɔn bɔ afɔdeɛ ma Awurade. Wɔn mogya na ɛsɛ sɛ wɔde pete afɔrebukyia no so na wɔhye wɔn sradeɛ no sɛ ogya afɔdeɛ. Ɛyɛ adeɛ a Awurade ani sɔ.

Mede afɔrebɔdeɛ a Israelfoɔ de bɛbrɛ Awurade a wɔbɛhim no no nyinaa ma mo ne mo abusuafoɔ. Mo ne mo abusuafoɔ mfa na monni. Yei yɛ bɔhyɛ a ɛda mo ne Awurade ne mo asefoɔ ntam daa nyinaa.”
20 Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia ʻElone, ʻo pehē, “ʻE ʻikai te ke maʻu ha tofiʻa ʻi honau fonua, pea ʻe ʻikai te ke maʻu ha tufakanga ʻiate kinautolu: ka ko au ko ho ʻinasi mo ho tofiʻa ʻi he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli.
Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Aaron sɛ, “Mo asɔfoɔ no nso, ɛnsɛ sɛ mopɛ agyapadeɛ ne akatua foforɔ biara. Na me ara na me ho hia mo.
21 Pea vakai, kuo u foaki ki he fānau ʻa Livai ʻa hono vahe hongofulu ʻoe meʻa kotoa pē ʻi ʻIsileli ko honau tofiʻa, koeʻuhi ko e ngāue ʻoku nau tauhi, ʻio ʻae tauhi ʻoe fale fehikitaki ʻoe kakai.
“Na Lewi abusuakuo deɛ, wɔfiri Israel asase so ho adwumadeɛ ntotosoɔ dudu no mu na ɛbɛtua wɔn ka.
22 Pea ʻe ʻikai toe haʻu ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli ʻo ofi ki he fale fehikitaki ʻoe kakai, telia naʻa nau fua ʻae angahala, pea nau mate.
Ɛfiri ɛnnɛ rekorɔ, Israelfoɔ a wɔnyɛ asɔfoɔ ne Lewifoɔ no nni ho kwan sɛ wɔkɔ kronkron mu kronkron hɔ. Wɔyɛ saa a, wɔbɛbu wɔn fɔ na wɔawuwu.
23 Ka ko e kau Livai te nau fai ʻae tauhi ʻoe fale fehikitaki ʻoe kakai, pea te nau fua ʻenau hia: ko e fekau ia ki homou ngaahi toʻutangata ʻo lauikuonga, ke ʻilo ʻoku ʻikai tenau maʻu ha tofiʻa ʻi he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli.

25 Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese, ʻo pehē,
Awurade sane ka kyerɛɛ Mose sɛ,
26 Ke ke lea ki he kau Livai, ʻo ke pehē kiate kinautolu, “ʻOka mou ka maʻu hono hongofulu ʻoe vahe ʻoe meʻa mei he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, ʻaia ne u foaki meiate kinautolu maʻamoutolu, ko homou tofiʻa, te mou toki ʻohake hono feilaulau hiki hake kia Sihova, ʻio, ko hono hongofulu ʻoe vahe ʻi homou vahe hongofulu.
“Ka kyerɛ Lewifoɔ no sɛ, ntotosoɔ dudu a wɔnya no, wɔmfa nkyɛmu edu mu baako mma Awurade. Ɛbɛyɛ ntotosoɔ dudu mu ntotosoɔ dudu a wɔnam him a wɔbɛhim no afɔrebukyia no anim de ama Awurade no so.
27 Pea ko hoʻomou feilaulau hiki hake ʻe lau ia kiate kimoutolu, ʻo hangē ko e koane ʻoe potu hahaʻanga, pea mo e pito ʻoe tataʻoʻanga uaine.
Na Awurade bɛgye no sɛ mo afɔrebɔdeɛ a ɛdi ɛkan a ɛyɛ aduane ne nsã a mode rema no sɛdeɛ ɛfiri mo ara mo agyapadeɛ mu.
28 ʻE pehē hoʻomou ʻatu ʻae feilaulau hiki hake kia Sihova ʻi homou vahe hongofulu kotoa pē, ʻaia ʻoku mou maʻu ʻi he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli; pea te mou foaki hono feilaulau hiki hake ʻo Sihova kia ʻElone ko e taulaʻeiki.
