For the LORD had spoken to Moses, saying,

49 “Nkan Lewifo abusuakuw no, na mfa wɔn nka Israelfo a wɔaka no ho.

Only thou shalt not number the tribe of Levi, neither take the sum of them among the children of Israel:

50 Fa Ahyiae Ntamadan no ho dwumadi hyɛ Lewifo no nsa. Wɔnhwɛ nneɛma a wɔde asiesie mu ne nea ɛkeka ho nyinaa so. Wɔn na wɔbɛsoa Ahyiae Ntamadan no ne mu nneɛma, wɔbɛhwɛ so na wɔatenatena ho.

But thou shalt appoint the Levites over the tabernacle of testimony, and over all its vessels, and over all things that belong to it: they shall bear the tabernacle, and all its vessels; and they shall minister to it, and shall encamp around the tabernacle.

51 Bere biara a ɛsɛ sɛ wotu Ahyiae Ntamadan no, Lewifo no na ɛsɛ sɛ wotutu, na baabiara a wɔde besi no, wɔn na wɔbɛyɛ. Onipa foforo biara a ɔbɛbɛn ho no, wobekum no.

And when the tabernacle moveth forward, the Levites shall take it down: and when the tabernacle is to be pitched, the Levites shall set it up: and the stranger that cometh near shall be put to death.

52 Israel abusuakuw biara benya ne tenabea ne ne frankaa.

And the children of Israel shall pitch their tents, every man by his own camp, and every man by his own standard, throughout their hosts.

53 Lewifo no besisi wɔn ntamadan atwa Ahyiae Ntamadan no ho ahyia, sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a Onyankopɔn abufuwhyew remma Israelfo no so. Lewifo no na wɔbɛhwɛ Ahyiae Ntamadan no so.”

But the Levites shall encamp around the tabernacle of testimony, that there may be no wrath upon the congregation of the children of Israel: and the Levites shall keep the charge of the tabernacle of testimony.

54 Israelfo no yɛɛ eyinom nyinaa sɛnea Awurade hyɛɛ Mose no.

And the children of Israel did according to all that the LORD commanded Moses, so did they.
