4 Mose 4
1 Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose ne Aaron se:
And YHWH speaks to Moses and to Aaron, saying,
2 “Kan Kohatfo no dodow a wɔwɔ Lewifo no abusua mu.
“Take a census of the sons of Kohath from the midst of the sons of Levi, by their families, by the house of their fathers;
3 Saa nnipakan yi bɛyɛ mmarima nko ara a wɔadi fi mfe aduasa kosi aduonum a wobetumi ayɛ adwuma wɔ Ahyiae Ntamadan mu.
from a son of thirty years and upward, even until a son of fifty years, everyone going in to the host, to do work in the Tent of Meeting.
4 “Kohat mma no dwumadi ne sɛ wɔbɛhwɛ akronkronne no so wɔ Ahyiae Ntamadan no mu.
This [is] the service of the sons of Kohath in the Tent of Meeting [for] 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.
when Aaron and his sons have come in, in the journeying of the camp, and have taken down the veil of the hanging, and have covered 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.
then they have put a covering of tachash skin on it, and have spread a garment completely of blue above, and have placed 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.
And they spread a garment of blue over the table of the presence, and have put the dishes, and the spoons, and the bowls, and the cups of the drink-offering on it, and the bread of continuity is 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 have spread a garment of scarlet over them, and have covered it with a covering of tachash skin, and have placed its poles,
9 “Ɛsɛ sɛ wɔde ntama tuntum kata kaneadua no, akanea no, adabaw no, nkuku apampaa no ne ngo tumpan no ho.
and have taken a garment of blue, and have covered the lampstand of the lamp, and its lights, and its snuffers, and its snuff-dishes, and all its oil vessels with which they minister to 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.
and they have put it and all its vessels into a covering of tachash skin, and have put [it] on the bar.
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.
And they spread a garment of blue over the golden altar, and have covered it with a covering of tachash skin, and have placed its 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.
and have taken all the vessels of ministry with which they minister in the holy place, and have put [them] into a garment of blue, and have covered them with a covering of tachash skin, and have put [them] on the bar,
13 “Ɛsɛ sɛ wotu nsõ no nyinaa fi afɔremuka no mu gu, na wɔde ntama kɔkɔɔ kyekyere ho.
and have removed the ashes of the altar, and have spread a garment of purple 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 have put on it all its vessels with which they minister on it—the censers, the hooks, and the shovels, and the bowls, all the vessels of the altar—and have spread a covering of tachash skin on it, and have placed its 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.
And Aaron has finished—his sons also—covering the holy place, and all the vessels of the holy place, in the journeying of the camp, and afterward the sons of Kohath come in to carry [it], and they do not come to the holy thing, lest they have died; these [things are] the burden of the sons of Kohath in 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.”
And the oversight of Eleazar, son of Aaron the priest, [is] the oil of the lamp, and the spice-incense, and the present of continuity, and the anointing oil, the oversight of all the Dwelling Place and of all that [is] in it, in the sanctuary and in its vessels.”
17 Afei, Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose ne Aaron se,
And YHWH speaks to Moses and to Aaron, saying,
18 “Monhwɛ sɛ wɔrentwa Kohatfo abusuakuw no mfi Lewifo mu.
“You do not cut off the tribe of the families of the Kohathite from the midst of 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.
but do this for them, and they have lived and do not die in their drawing near [to] the Holy of Holies: Aaron and his sons go in, and have set them, each man to his service, and to his burden,
20 Ɛnsɛ sɛ Kohatfo no kɔ hɔ kɔhwɛ akronkronne no koraa, na wɔanwuwu.”
and they do not go in to see when the holy thing is swallowed, lest they have died.”
21 Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose se,
And YHWH speaks to Moses, saying,
22 “Kan Gerson asefo a wɔfra Lewifo abusua mu no,
“Also take a census of the sons of Gershon by the house of their fathers, by their families;
23 fi mmarima a wɔadi mfe aduasa kosi aduonum a wobetumi ayɛ adwuma kronkron wɔ Ahyiae Ntamadan mu hɔ no so.
from a son of thirty years and upward, until a son of fifty years, you number them—everyone who is going in to serve the host, to do the service in the Tent of Meeting.
24 “Gerson mmusua no dwuma a wobedi ni:
This [is] the service of the families of the Gershonite, to serve and for burden:
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.
and they have carried the curtains of the Dwelling Place, and the Tent of Meeting, its covering, and the covering of the tachash [skin] which [is] on it above, and the veil at the opening of 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.
and the hangings of the court, and the veil at the opening of the gate of the court which [is] by the Dwelling Place, and by the altar all around, and their cords, and all the vessels of their service, and all that is made for them—and they have served.
27 Aaron anaa ne mmabarima no bi tumi ma Gerson asefo no bi dwuma di.
By the command of Aaron and his sons is all the service of the sons of the Gershonite, in all their burden and in all their service; and you have laid a charge on them concerning the charge of all their burden.
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 families of the sons of the Gershonite in the Tent of Meeting; and their charge [is] under the hand of Ithamar son of Aaron the priest.
29 “Kan Merari asefo a wɔfra Lewifo abusua mu no.
The sons of Merari, by their families, by the house of their fathers—you number them;
30 Kan mmarima a wɔadi mfe aduasa kosi aduonum so a wobetumi ayɛ adwuma wɔ Ahyiae Ntamadan mu hɔ.
from a son of thirty years and upward even to a son of fifty years, you number them—everyone who is going in to the host, to do the service 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,
And this [is] the charge of their burden, of all their service in the Tent of Meeting: the boards of the Dwelling Place, and its bars, and its pillars, and its sockets,
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 pillars of the court all around, and their sockets, and their pins, and their cords, of all their vessels, and of all their service; and you number the vessels of the charge of their burden by name.
33 Merari asefo no, Aaron babarima Itamar na ɔbɛhwɛ wɔn so.”
This [is] the service of the families of the sons of Merari, for all their service, in the Tent of Meeting, by the hand of Ithamar son of Aaron the priest.”

And Moses numbers—Aaron also, and the princes of the congregation—the sons of the Kohathite, by their families, and by the house of their fathers,
