4 Mose 18
1 Awurade kasa kyerɛɛ Aaron se, “Wo, wo mmabarima ne wʼabusuafo a wofi Lewi abusuakuw mu no, mfomso biara a ɛfa kronkronbea hɔ no ho asodi bɛda mo so. Na sɛ biribi ankɔ so yiye wɔ asɔfodwuma no mu a, wobebisa wo ne wo mmabarima ho asɛm.
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.
2 Fa wo nkurɔfo a wɔwɔ Lewi abusuakuw no mu na wɔmmoa wo mmabarima no wɔ dwuma kronkron a wodi no Ahyiae Ntamadan no anim no ho.
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.
3 Ɛsɛ sɛ Lewifo no hwɛ yiye na wɔammɛn biribiara a ɛyɛ kronkron wɔ afɔremuka no so. Sɛ wɔyɛ saa a, wo ne wɔn bewuwu.
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.
4 Ɛsɛ sɛ wɔka mo ho na mohwɛ Ahyiae Ntamadan mu hɔ; ɛhɔ nnwuma nyinaa. Ɛnsɛ sɛ onipa foforo biara bɛn beae a wowɔ no.
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.
5 “Wo na ɛsɛ sɛ wohwɛ kronkronbea hɔ ne afɔremuka no so, na mʼabufuwhyew amma Israelfo no so bio.
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.
6 Mʼankasa na mapaw wo nkurɔfo Lewifo afi Israelfo mu sɛ akyɛde ama wo, atew wɔ ho ama Awurade sɛ wɔnyɛ adwuma wɔ Ahyiae Ntamadan no mu.
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.
7 Nanso wo ne wo mmabarima nkutoo na na mubedi dwuma sɛ asɔfo wɔ nea ɛfa afɔremuka ne nea ɛwɔ ntwamtam no mu no ho. Mede asɔfodwuma ɔsom rema mo sɛ akyɛde. Ɛsɛ sɛ wokum onipa foforo biara a ɔbɛbɛn kronkronbea hɔ no.”
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.”
8 Awurade san ka kyerɛɛ Aaron se: “Mʼankasa na mede akyɛde a nkurɔfo de abrɛ Awurade no ahyɛ wo nsa; afɔrebɔde a Israelfo no de ma me no nyinaa no mede ma wo ne wo mmabarima sɛ mo kyɛfa; ɛyɛ mo kyɛfa afebɔɔ.
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.
9 Aduan afɔrebɔ, bɔne afɔrebɔ ne afɔbu afɔrebɔ nyinaa mowɔ mu kyɛfa. Eyinom nyinaa yɛ afɔrebɔde a ɛyɛ kronkron pa ara.
Ko hoʻo meʻa eni ʻi he ngaahi meʻa toputapu, kuo hao ʻi he afi: ko ʻenau feilaulau kotoa pē, ko ʻenau feilaulau meʻakai kotoa pē, ko ʻenau feilaulau kotoa pē maʻae angahala, mo ʻenau feilaulau fakalelei kotoa pē, ʻaia kuo nau ʻange kiate au, ʻe mātuʻaki tapu ia maʻau, mo ho ngaahi foha.
10 Munni no sɛ ade a ɛyɛ kronkron pa ara; ɔbarima biara nni bi. Mummu no sɛ ade kronkron.
Te ke kai ia ʻi he potu tapu ʻaupito, ʻe kai ia ʻe he kakai tangata kotoa pē: ʻe māʻoniʻoni ia kiate koe.
11 “Eyi nso yɛ mo de: nea wobeyi agu nkyɛn afi Israelfo ohim afɔrebɔde mu no. Mede ma wo ne wo mmabarima ne wo mmabea nyinaa sɛ mo kyɛfa afebɔɔ. Obiara a ɔwɔ wo fi na ne ho tew no tumi di bi.
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.
12 “Aba a edi kan mu akyɛde a nnipa no de bɛba sɛ afɔrebɔde a wɔde rebrɛ Awurade no a ɛyɛ ngo pa, bobesa pa, aburow ne nnɔbae biara no, mede ma mo.
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.
13 Asase no so aba a edi kan a wɔde bɛbrɛ Awurade no bɛyɛ mo de. Obiara a ɔwɔ wo fi na ne ho tew no tumi di bi.
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.
14 “Biribiara a ɛwɔ Israel a wɔde bɛma Awurade no yɛ mo de.
Ko e meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku fakatapu ʻi ʻIsileli ʻoku ʻaʻau ia.
15 Israelfo abakan ne wɔn mmoa nyinaa abakan a wɔde bɛma Awurade no yɛ mo dea. Nanso mmoa a memmaa mo kwan sɛ wɔnwe wɔn nam no de, munnnye wɔn abakan. Na mmom, ɛsɛ sɛ wotua sika kakra de si abakan biara anan.
ʻAe meʻa kotoa pē ʻoku ne toʻo ʻae mānava ʻi he kakano kotoa pē, ʻaia ʻoku nau ʻomi kia Sihova, ʻi he kau tangata, pe ʻi he fanga manu, ʻe ʻaʻau ia: ka ko e moʻoni te ke huhuʻi ʻae ʻuluaki tama ʻi he tangata, pea mo e ʻuluaki fānau ʻi he fanga manu taʻemaʻa te ke huhuʻi ia.
16 Sɛ abakan no di ɔsram a, na ɛsɛ sɛ wɔde ogye bo a ɛyɛ dwetɛ nkaribo gram aduonum asia sɛnea kronkronbea hɔ nkaribo a ɛyɛ gram dubaako ne nkyemu anum mu baako no te no ba.
Pea ko ia ʻoku totonu ke huhuʻi mei he taha māhina, te ke huhuʻi ia ʻo fakatatau ki hoʻo lau, ʻaki ʻae paʻanga ko e [sikeli ]ʻe nima, ʻo hangē ko e[sikeli ]ʻoe faletapu, ʻaia ko e kela ʻe uofulu.
17 “Nanso anantwi, nguan ne mmirekyi mmakan de, ɛnsɛ sɛ wogye wɔn; wɔyɛ kronkron. Fa wɔn mogya pete afɔremuka no so na hyew wɔn srade no sɛ aduan afɔre, ehua a ɛsɔ Awurade ani.
Ka ko e ʻuluaki fānau ʻae fanga pulu, pea mo e ʻuluaki fānau ʻae sipi, pea mo e ʻuluaki fānau ʻae kosi, ʻe ʻikai te ke huhuʻi ia; he ʻoku māʻoniʻoni ia: pea te ke luluku ʻaki honau toto ʻae feilaulauʻanga, pea te ke tutu honau ngako ko e feilaulau kuo ngaohi ʻaki ʻae afi, ko e meʻa namu kakala kia Sihova.
18 Saa mmoa yi nyinaa nam bɛyɛ mo de te sɛnea ohim afɔrebɔde koko ne ne srɛ nifa yɛ mo de no.
Pea ko honau kakano ʻe ʻaʻau ia, ʻo hangē ko e ʻaʻau ʻae fatafata lialiaki, pea mo e alanga nima toʻomataʻu.
19 Biribiara a Israelfo de bɛbrɛ Awurade a wobefi afɔrebɔ kronkron mu ayi ato hɔ no, mede ma wo ne wo mmabarima ne wo mmabea sɛ mo kyɛfa afebɔɔ. Ɛyɛ ahyɛde a ɛda mo ne Awurade ne mo asefo ntam daa nyinaa.”
Ko e ngaahi feilaulau hiki hake ʻoe ngaahi meʻa tapu kotoa pē, ʻaia kuo ʻange ʻe he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli kia Sihova, kuo u foaki ia kiate koe, mo ho ngaahi foha, pea mo ho ngaahi ʻofefine fakataha mo koe, ʻi he fekau ʻo lauikuonga: ko e fuakava ia kiate ko e ʻoe māsima ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova, fakataha mo ho hako ʻo lauikuonga.”
20 Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Aaron se, “Morennya agyapade biara mfi wɔn asase mu, na morennya kyɛfa biara mfi wɔn mu; mene mo kyɛfa ne mo agyapade wɔ Israelfo no mu.
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.
21 “Mede Israel ntotoso du du no nyinaa ma Lewifo no sɛ wɔn agyapade de retua wɔ som a wɔsom wɔ Ahyiae Ntamadan no mu no so ka.
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.
22 Efi nnɛ rekɔ, Israelfo no nni ho kwan sɛ wɔbɛn Ahyiae Ntamadan no mu; anyɛ saa a, wobɛsoa wɔn bɔne ho asodi ama wɔawuwu.
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.
23 Lewifo no nko ara na wɔbɛyɛ adwuma wɔ hɔ, na wɔasoa mfomso biara a wɔbɛyɛ no ho asodi. Ɛyɛ mmara a ɛda hɔ afebɔɔ ma awo ntoatoaso a ɛbɛba no. Wɔrennya agyapade biara wɔ Israelfo no mu.
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.
24 Mmom, ntotoso du du a Israelfo no de ba sɛ Awurade afɔrebɔde no na mede rema Lewifo no. Ɛno nti na meka faa wɔn ho se: ‘Wɔrennya agyapade wɔ Israelfo no mu no.’”
Ka ko hono hongofulu ʻoe vahe ʻoe meʻa ʻae fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, ʻaia ʻoku nau ʻatu ko e feilaulau hiki hake kia Sihova, kuo u foaki ia ki he kau Livai kenau maʻu ia: pea ko eni, ne u pehē ai kiate kinautolu, ʻE ʻikai tenau maʻu ha tofiʻa ʻi he fānau ʻa ʻIsileli.”
25 Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose se,
Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia Mōsese, ʻo pehē,
26 “Ka kyerɛ Lewifo no se, ‘Sɛ munya ntotoso du du a mede rema mo sɛ mo agyapade no fi Israelfo no nkyɛn a, momfa nkyɛmu du mu baako mmrɛ Awurade sɛ nʼafɔrebɔde.
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.
27 Na Awurade begye no sɛ mo afɔrebɔde a efi mo awiporowbea anaa nsa a efi mo nsakyi amoa mu.
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.
28 Saa ɔkwan yi so na mobɛfa de mo afɔrebɔ a efi ntotoso du du a mubenya afi Israelfo no nkyɛn no abrɛ Awurade. Mumfi ntotoso du du yi mu mfa Awurade kyɛfa no mma ɔsɔfo Aaron.
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.
29 Biribiara a wɔde bɛma mo no, momfa emu nea eye pa ara na ɛyɛ kronkron no mma Awurade.’
Ko e meʻa foaki kotoa pē ʻoku mou maʻu te mou ʻange mei ai ʻae feilaulau hiki hake kia Sihova, mei hono lelei, ʻio, mei hono meʻa ʻoku tapu.
30 “Ka kyerɛ Lewifo no se: ‘Sɛ mode emu nea eye pa ara no ba a, wɔbɛfa no sɛ nea efi mo ankasa mo awiporowbea anaa mo nsakyibea hɔ.
Pea ko eni, te ke lea pehē kiate kinautolu, ʻOka mou ka hiki hono lelei mei ai, ʻe toki lau ai ia ki he Livai ʻo hangē ko hono tupu ʻoe hahaʻanga koane, pea mo e tupu ʻoe tataʻoʻanga uaine.

Pea ʻe ʻikai te mou fua ʻae angahala koeʻuhi ko ia, ʻoka mou ka hiki hono lelei mei ai: pea ʻe ʻikai te mou fakaʻuli ʻae ngaahi meʻa tapu ʻoe fānau ʻa ʻIsileli, telia naʻa mou mate.”
