4 Mose 2
1 Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose ne Aaron se:
Then Yahweh said this to Aaron and Moses/me:
2 “Abusua biara benya nʼafa wɔ atenae hɔ, na kuw biara bɛtena nʼabusua frankaa ase. Na mmusua no atenae ahorow no mfimfini na wɔde Ahyiae Ntamadan no besi.”
“When the Israelis set up their tents, they should set them up in areas that surround the Sacred Tent, but not close to it. The people of each tribe must set up their tents in a different area. Each tribe must erect in that area a banner of their own clan and a flag that represents their tribe.
3 Apuei fam, baabi a owia pue fi hɔ no na ɛsɛ sɛ Yuda nnipa nkyekyɛmu ahorow no nyinaa bɔ wɔn atenae wɔ wɔn frankaa ase. Yudafo ntuanoni ne Aminadab ba Nahson.
The people of the tribes of Judah, Issachar, and Zebulun must set up their tents on the east side of the Sacred Tent, close to their tribal flags. These are the names of the leaders of those tribes and the number of soldiers whom they will lead: Nahshon, the son of Amminadab, will be the leader of the 74,600 men of the tribe of Judah.
4 Na ne dɔm no ano si mpem aduɔson anan ne ahansia.

So there will be 86,400 troops on the east side [of the Sacred Tent]. Whenever the Israelis move to a new location, those three tribes must go in front of the others.

So there will be 151,450 troops on the south side of the Sacred Tent. Those three tribes will follow the first group [when the Israelis travel].

Behind that group will walk the descendants of Levi, who will carry the Sacred Tent. The Israelis will march in the same order that they always set up their tents. Each tribe will carry its own flag.

So there will be 108,100 troops on the west side of the Sacred Tent. Those three tribes will follow the second group, [behind the descendants of Levi].

So there will be 157,600 troops on the north side of the Sacred Tent. Those three tribes will be last. They must carry their own flags when the Israelis travel.”
32 Sɛɛ na Israelfo a wɔkan wɔn mmusuakuw mmusuakuw no te. Wɔn a wɔwɔ atenae hɔ nyinaa, sɛnea wɔn nkyekyɛmu te no ano si mpem ahansia ne abiɛsa ahannum ne aduonum.
So there were 603,550 Israeli men who were able to fight who were listed according to their families’ ancestors.
33 Sɛnea Awurade hyɛɛ Mose no, wɔankan Lewifo no anka Israelfo no ho.
But just as Yahweh had commanded, the names of the descendants of Levi were not included.
34 Enti Israelfo yɛɛ biribiara sɛnea Awurade hyɛɛ Mose no. Wɔbobɔɔ wɔn atenae, tenatenaa wɔn frankaa ahorow ase, na wɔnantew nnidiso nnidiso sɛnea wɔn mmusua ne wɔn afi te.
The Israelis did everything that Yahweh had told Moses/me. They set up their tents close to their tribal flags, and when they traveled [to a new location, they walked] with their own clans and family groups.
