4 Mose 26
1 Ɔyaredɔm no akyi no, Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose ne ɔsɔfo Aaron babarima Eleasar se,
After the plague [ended], Yahweh said to Eleazar and Moses/me,
2 “Monkan Israelfo mmarima a wɔadi mfe aduonu ne nea ɛboro saa nyinaa na monhwɛ dodow a wobetumi akɔ ɔsa ama Israel wɔ abusua biara mu.”
“Count all the people of Israel [again]. Write down the names of all the men who are at least 20 years old who are able to fight [in battles], along with their family names.”
3 Enti Mose ne ɔsɔfo Eleasar kasa kyerɛɛ wɔn wɔ Moab tataw so, wɔ Asubɔnten Yordan ho a na wɔatra Yeriko no se,
So while the Israelis were on the plains where the Moab people-group lived, Eleazar and Moses/I told this to the Israeli leaders:
4 “Monkan mmarima a wɔadi mfe aduonu ne nea ɛboro saa sɛnea Awurade hyɛɛ Mose no.” Eyinom ne Israelfo a wofi Misraim bae no:
“Write down the names of all the Israeli men who are at least 20 years old, as Yahweh has commanded us.” [So they did that], and this is a record of all the descendants of Jacob who came out of Egypt [who were still alive].

and his grandsons were Nemuel, Dathan and Abiram. Dathan and Abiram were the leaders who joined with Korah to conspire against Aaron and Moses/me and rebelled against Yahweh.

But the earth opened up and swallowed them and Korah. Yahweh also sent a fire that burned up 250 men who supported those three men. That was a warning [to all the Israeli people] that they should respect and obey the leaders whom Yahweh had appointed.
11 Nanso Kora ase antɔre.

The total of the Israeli men whom the leaders counted was 601,730.
52 Afei, Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose se,
Then Yahweh said to Moses/me,
53 “Kyekyɛ asase no ma mmusua no sɛ wɔn agyapade, sɛnea wɔn dodow te.
“Divide Canaan land among the tribes. Distribute the land according the number of people in each tribe that are on your lists.
54 Ma abusua a ɛso no agyapade kɛse na abusua a esua no agyapade ketewa.
Decide by (casting lots/throwing stones which are marked) to determine which group will get which area, but give the largest areas to the groups with the most people.”
55 Hwɛ sɛ wɔnam ntontobɔ so bɛkyekyɛ asase no. Nea ɛsɛ sɛ kuw biara nya no begyina nʼagyanom abusuakuw din dodow so.
56 Ɛsɛ sɛ wɔbɔ ntonto wɔ agyapade no kyekyɛ so wɔ akuw akɛse ne nketewa no mu.”
57 Eyinom ne Lewifo a wɔnam wɔn mmusua so kan wɔn: Wɔde Gersonfo too wɔn tete agya Gerson. Wɔde Kohatfo too wɔn tete agya Kohat. Wɔde Merarifo too wɔn tete agya Merari.
The leaders also counted the male descendants of Levi. They were in clans descended from Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.
58 Eyinom nso yɛ Lewifo mmusua: Libnifo, Hebronfo, Mahlifo, Musifo ne Korafo. Kohat yɛ Amram tete agya.
These also included people from the clans of Libni, Hebron, Mahli, Mushi, and Korah. All of them were descendants of Levi. Kohath was the ancestor of Amram,
59 Bere a Lewi wɔ Misraim no, wɔwoo ɔbabea a ne din de Yokebed. Kehat babarima Amram waree no. Wɔn na wɔwoo Aaron, Mose ne Miriam.
whose wife was Jochebed. She also was a descendant of Levi, but she was born in Egypt. She and Amram had two sons, Aaron and Moses/me, and their/our [older] sister Miriam.
60 Aaron woo Nadab, Abihu, Eleasar ne Itamar.
Aaron’s sons were Nadab, Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.
61 Nanso, bere a Nadab ne Abihu de ogya a ɛnyɛ kronkron brɛɛ Awurade no, wowuwui.
But Nadab and Abihu died when they burned [incense for a sacrifice] to Yahweh in a way that disobeyed what Yahweh had commanded.
62 Nnipakan no mu no, na Lewifo nyinaa dodow yɛ mpem aduonu abiɛsa. Wɔkan mmarima a wɔadi fi ɔsram kosi mpanyimfo so. Nanso, wɔammu Lewifo no ano anka Israel nnipakan no ho, efisɛ wɔrekyɛ nsase no ama mmusuakuw no, wɔamma Lewifo no bi.
The leaders counted 23,000 men from the descendants of Levi who were at least one month old. But these men were not counted when the rest of the Israeli people [were counted], because they were not given any land.
63 Enti sɛnea Mose ne ɔsɔfo Eleasar fa kyerɛɛ nnipa no ano wɔ Moab bepɔw a ɛbɛn Asubɔnten Yordan a na wɔatwa Yeriko ne no.
Those were the men whom Eleazar and Moses/I said should be counted. They counted the Israeli people on the plains where the Moab people-group lived, on the [east] side of the Jordan River, across from Jericho [city].
64 Na saa nnipa yi mu biara nni hɔ a ɔfra wɔn a Mose ne Aaron kan wɔn wɔ Sinai sare so no mu.
None of the men whom they counted were on the lists that were made by Aaron and Moses/me when the Israelis were in the Sinai Desert,
65 Efisɛ Awurade ka kyerɛɛ saa Israelfo no se wobewuwu wɔ sare no so. Anka wɔn mu biara, gye Yefune ba Kaleb ne Nun babarima Yosua.
because Yahweh had said about them, “They will all die in this desert,” [and that is what happened]. The only ones who were still alive were Jephunneh’s son Caleb and Nun’s son Joshua.
