4 Mose 4
1 Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose ne Aaron se:
Then the LORD said to Moses and Aaron,
2 “Kan Kohatfo no dodow a wɔwɔ Lewifo no abusua mu.
“Take a census of the Kohathites among the Levites by their clans and families,
3 Saa nnipakan yi bɛyɛ mmarima nko ara a wɔadi fi mfe aduasa kosi aduonum a wobetumi ayɛ adwuma wɔ Ahyiae Ntamadan mu.
men from thirty to fifty years old—everyone who is qualified to serve in the work at the Tent of Meeting.
4 “Kohat mma no dwumadi ne sɛ wɔbɛhwɛ akronkronne no so wɔ Ahyiae Ntamadan no mu.
This service of the Kohathites at the Tent of Meeting regards the most holy things.
5 Sɛ wɔretu afi atenae hɔ a, Aaron ne ne mma mmarima na wobedi kan akɔ Ahyiae Ntamadan no mu akɔfa nkataanim no de akata adaka no ho.
Whenever the camp sets out, Aaron and his sons are to go in, take down the veil of the curtain, and cover the ark of the Testimony with it.
6 Afei, wɔde abirekyi nhoma bɛkata nkataanim no ho na wɔde ntama tuntum akata abirekyi nhoma no ho na wɔde nnua a wɔde soa adaka no ahyehyɛ ne nkaa no mu.
They are to place over this a covering of fine leather, spread a solid blue cloth over it, and insert its poles.
7 “Afei, wɔmfa ntama tuntum nsɛw ɔpon a Daa Daa Brodo no da so no so; na wɔmfa mprɛte, nsanka, ne adidi nkankyee ne ɔnom afɔre nkuruwa no; brodo no ngu ntama no so ara.
Over the table of the Presence they are to spread a blue cloth and place the plates and cups on it, along with the bowls and pitchers for the drink offering. The regular bread offering is to remain on it.
8 Wɔde ntama kɔkɔɔ bɛkata so na wɔasan de abirekyi nhoma akata ntama kɔkɔɔ no so. Na afei, wɔde nnua a wɔde bɛsoa no ahyehyɛ ɔpon no mu.
And they shall spread a scarlet cloth over them, cover them with fine leather, and insert the poles.
9 “Ɛsɛ sɛ wɔde ntama tuntum kata kaneadua no, akanea no, adabaw no, nkuku apampaa no ne ngo tumpan no ho.
They are to take a blue cloth and cover the lampstand used for light, together with its lamps, wick trimmers, and trays, as well as the jars of oil with which to supply it.
10 Saa nneɛma yi nyinaa nso wɔde abirekyi nhoma a ɛyɛ den bɛkata ho na wɔde nea wɔakyekyere no nyinaa abegu ɔpon no so.
Then they shall wrap it and all its utensils inside a covering of fine leather and put it on the carrying frame.
11 “Ɛsɛ sɛ wɔde ntama tuntum kata sikakɔkɔɔ afɔremuka no so na wɔsan de abirekyi nhoma kata so bio na wɔde nnua a wɔde soa no hyehyɛ afɔremuka no mu.
Over the gold altar they are to spread a blue cloth, cover it with fine leather, and insert the poles.
12 “Hyiadan no mu som no ho nneɛma a aka no nyinaa, ɛsɛ sɛ wɔde ntama bibiri kyekyere ho a wɔde abirekyi nhoma asan akyekyere ho na wɔde ato mpata a wɔde soa no so.
They are to take all the utensils for serving in the sanctuary, place them in a blue cloth, cover them with fine leather, and put them on the carrying frame.
13 “Ɛsɛ sɛ wotu nsõ no nyinaa fi afɔremuka no mu gu, na wɔde ntama kɔkɔɔ kyekyere ho.
Then they shall remove the ashes from the bronze altar, spread a purple cloth over it,
14 Ɛsɛ sɛ wɔde afɔremuka no ho ɔsom nneɛma nyinaa gu ntama no so. Saa nneɛma no ne nkankyee a wɔnoa mu, adinam, sofi, ne nkankyee a wɔde nsu a wɔde pete gu mu. Ɛsɛ sɛ wɔde abirekyi nhoma kata ne nyinaa so na wɔde nnua a wɔde soa no gu faako a ɛsɛ sɛ wɔde gu.
and place on it all the vessels used to serve there: the firepans, meat forks, shovels, and sprinkling bowls—all the equipment of the altar. They are to spread over it a covering of fine leather and insert the poles.
15 “Sɛ Aaron ne ne mma mmarima no wie kronkronbea hɔ nneɛma no anoboa a, Kohat ne nʼabusuafo bɛba abɛsoa akɔ baabiara a wɔretu nneɛma akɔ. Nanso wonni ho kwan sɛ wɔde wɔn nsa ka nneɛma a ɛho tew no bi. Wɔyɛ saa a, wobewuwu. Ɛsɛ sɛ Kohat mmabarima no soa nneɛma a ɛwɔ Ahyiae Ntamadan no mu no.
When Aaron and his sons have finished covering the holy objects and all their equipment, as soon as the camp is ready to move, the Kohathites shall come and do the carrying. But they must not touch the holy objects, or they will die. These are the transportation duties of the Kohathites regarding the Tent of Meeting.
16 “Aaron babarima Eleasar a ɔyɛ ɔsɔfo no na ɔbɛhwɛ ngo a wɔde bɛsɔ kanea, nnuhuam, daa aduan a wɔde bɔ afɔre, ɔsra ngo ne Ahyiae Ntamadan no nyinaa so. Biribiara a ɛwɔ Ahyiae Ntamadan no mu no nso, ɔbɛhwɛ so.”
Eleazar son of Aaron the priest shall oversee the oil for the light, the fragrant incense, the daily grain offering, and the anointing oil. He has oversight of the entire tabernacle and everything in it, including the holy objects and their utensils.”
17 Afei, Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose ne Aaron se,
Then the LORD said to Moses and Aaron,
18 “Monhwɛ sɛ wɔrentwa Kohatfo abusuakuw no mfi Lewifo mu.
“Do not allow the Kohathite tribal clans to be cut off from among the Levites.
19 Sɛ wɔresoa nneɛma a ɛho tew no a, nea ɛsɛ sɛ wɔyɛ a wɔrenwuwu ni: Ɛsɛ sɛ Aaron ne ne mma mmarima no ne wɔn kɔ hɔ kɔkyerɛ wɔn ade a ɛsɛ sɛ wɔn mu biara soa.
In order that they may live and not die when they come near the most holy things, do this for them: Aaron and his sons are to go in and assign each man his task and what he is to carry.
20 Ɛnsɛ sɛ Kohatfo no kɔ hɔ kɔhwɛ akronkronne no koraa, na wɔanwuwu.”
But the Kohathites are not to go in and look at the holy objects, even for a moment, or they will die.”
21 Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose se,
And the LORD said to Moses,
22 “Kan Gerson asefo a wɔfra Lewifo abusua mu no,
“Take a census of the Gershonites as well, by their families and clans,
23 fi mmarima a wɔadi mfe aduasa kosi aduonum a wobetumi ayɛ adwuma kronkron wɔ Ahyiae Ntamadan mu hɔ no so.
from thirty to fifty years old, counting everyone who comes to serve in the work at the Tent of Meeting.
24 “Gerson mmusua no dwuma a wobedi ni:
This is the service of the Gershonite clans regarding work and transport:
25 Wɔbɛsoa ntama a etwa Ahyiae Ntamadan mu hɔ, Ahyiae Ntamadan no ankasa ne nea ɛkata ho, abirekyi nhoma nkuruso ne ntama a ɛsɛn Ahyiae Ntamadan no ano no.
They are to carry the curtains of the tabernacle, the Tent of Meeting with the covering of fine leather over it, the curtains for the entrance to the Tent of Meeting,
26 Afei, wɔbɛsoa nkataho a ɛkata adiwo hɔ fasu no ho no. Wɔbɛsoa ntama a etwa adiwo hɔ kwan no ano ne afɔremuka ne Ahyiae Ntamadan no ntam no. Wɔbɛsoa afɔremuka no, ntampehama ne nea ɛkeka ho nyinaa. Wɔn na ɛsɛ sɛ wɔhwɛ twe eyinom nyinaa.
the curtains of the courtyard, and the curtains for the entrance at the gate of the courtyard that surrounds the tabernacle and altar, along with their ropes and all the equipment for their service. The Gershonites will do all that needs to be done with these items.
27 Aaron anaa ne mmabarima no bi tumi ma Gerson asefo no bi dwuma di.
All the service of the Gershonites—all their transport duties and other work—is to be done at the direction of Aaron and his sons; you are to assign to them all that they are responsible to carry.
28 Eyi ne Gersonfo no adwuma wɔ Ahyiae Ntamadan no mu. Ɛsɛ sɛ wodi Aaron ba Itamar a ɔyɛ ɔsɔfo no nan ase.
This is the service of the Gershonite clans at the Tent of Meeting, and their duties shall be under the direction of Ithamar son of Aaron the priest.
29 “Kan Merari asefo a wɔfra Lewifo abusua mu no.
As for the sons of Merari, you are to number them by their clans and families,
30 Kan mmarima a wɔadi mfe aduasa kosi aduonum so a wobetumi ayɛ adwuma wɔ Ahyiae Ntamadan mu hɔ.
from thirty to fifty years old, counting everyone who comes to serve in the work of the Tent of Meeting.
31 Sɛ wɔpagyaw Ahyiae Ntamadan no a, wɔn na ɛsɛ sɛ wɔsoa ne nnyinaso, nnua a esisi mu, ne nsisiso,
This is the duty for all their service at the Tent of Meeting: to carry the frames of the tabernacle with its crossbars, posts, and bases,
32 mpuran a wɔde yɛɛ adiwo hɔ afasu no ne ne nsisiso, nnyinaso, ntampehama ne biribiara a wɔde di ho dwuma. Fa dwumadi ahorow no hyɛ nnipa a wobɛbobɔ wɔn din no nsa.
and the posts of the surrounding courtyard with their bases, tent pegs, and ropes, including all their equipment and everything related to their use. You shall assign by name the items that they are responsible to carry.
33 Merari asefo no, Aaron babarima Itamar na ɔbɛhwɛ wɔn so.”
This is the service of the Merarite clans according to all their work at the Tent of Meeting, under the direction of Ithamar son of Aaron the priest.”
34 Enti Mose ne Aaron ne mpanyimfo no bi kɔkan Kohatfo
So Moses, Aaron, and the leaders of the congregation numbered the Kohathites by their clans and families,
