And the sons of Meselemia, and their brethren strong men, were eighteen.
10 Hosa a ɔfiri Merari abusua mu yii Simri a na ɔnyɛ abakan no sɛ ntuanoni, wɔ ne mmammarima mu.
And of Hosa, that is, of the sons of Merari: Semri the chief, (for he had not a firstborn, and therefore his father made him chief.)
11 Na ne mmammarima no bi ne: Hilkia a ɔtɔ so mmienu, Tebalia a ɔtɔ so mmiɛnsa ne Sakaria tɔ so ɛnan. Na Hosa mmammarima ne nʼabusuafoɔ a wɔsom sɛ apono ano ahwɛfoɔ no nyinaa dodoɔ yɛ dumiɛnsa.

12 Saa apono ano ahwɛfoɔ akuo yi nam wɔn mmusua ntuanofoɔ so somm wɔ Awurade fie, sɛdeɛ wɔn abusuafoɔ yɛeɛ no.
Among these were the divisions of the porters, so that the chiefs of the wards, as well as their brethren, always ministered in the house of the Lord.
13 Wɔnam ntontobɔ kronkron so, de ɔwɛn adwuma wɔ apono ahodoɔ ano hyɛɛ mmusua no nsa a wɔnhwɛ mfirinhyia a obi adi, anaa nteteeɛ a wanya soɔ.
And they cast lots equally, both little and great, by their families for every one of the gates.
14 Wɔde apueeɛ ɛpono ho dwumadie no hyɛɛ Selemia ne ne ekuo nsa. Atifi ɛpono ho dwumadie nso, wɔde hyɛɛ ne babarima onyansafoɔ Sakaria nsa.
And the lot of the east fell to Selemias. But to his son Zacharias, a very wise and learned man, the north gate fell by lot.
15 Anafoɔ ɛpono no, wɔde hyɛɛ Obed-Edom nsa, na wɔmaa ne mmammarima no hwɛɛ adekoradan no so.
And to Obededom and his sons that towards the south: in which part of the house was the council of the ancients.
16 Wɔmaa Supim ne Hosa hwɛɛ atɔeɛ ɛpono no ne ɛkwan a ɛkɔ asɔredan no mu no so. Wɔkyekyɛɛ ɔwɛn nnwuma no pɛpɛɛpɛ maa wɔn.
To Sephim, and Hosa towards the west, by the gate which leadeth to the way of the ascent: ward against ward.
17 Ɛda biara, na wɔma Lewifoɔ baasia kɔ apueeɛ ɛpono no ho, baanan kɔ atifi ɛpono no ho, baanan nso akɔ anafoɔ ɛpono no ho, na baanu baanu akokɔ adekoradan ahodoɔ no biara ho.
Now towards the east were six Levites: and towards the north four a day: and towards the south likewise four a day: and where the council was, two and two.
18 Ɛda biara, na wɔma baasia kɔ atɔeɛ ɛpono no ho. Baanan kɔ ɛkwan a ɛkɔ asɔredan no mu no so, na baanu nso akɔ adihɔ hɔ.
In the cells also of the porters toward the west four in the way: and two at every cell.

With the Amramites, and Isaarites, and Hebronites, and Ozielites.
24 Amram abusua mu, Sebuel yɛ Mose babarima Gersom aseni. Ɔno na na ɔyɛ ɔpanin a ɔhwɛ sikakorabea no so.
And Subael the son of Gersom, the son of Moses, was chief over the treasures.
25 Wɔn a wɔnam Elieser so yɛ nʼabusuafoɔ ne Rehabia, Yesaia, Yoram, Sikri ne Selomot.
His brethren also, Eliezer, whose son Rohobia, and his son Isaias, and his son Joram, and his son Zechri, and his son Selemith.
26 Selomot ne nʼabusuafoɔ na na wɔhwɛ sikakorabea a na wɔkora agyapadeɛ a wɔde ama Awurade no so. Agyapadeɛ no bi ne deɛ Dawid ne mmusua ntuanofoɔ ne asahene ne asraafoɔ mpanimfoɔ de maa Awurade no.
Which Selemith and his brethren were over the treasures of the holy things, which king David, and the heads of families, and the captains over thousands and over hundreds, and the captains of the host had dedicated,
27 Na saa mmarima yi de wɔn asadeɛ a wɔnyaa no akodie mu no bi baeɛ sɛ wɔmfa nsiesie Awurade fie.
Out of the wars, and the spoils won in battles, which they had consecrated to the building and furniture of the temple of the Lord.

And all these things that Samuel the seer and Saul the son of Cis, and Abner the son of Ner, and Joab the son of Sarvia had sanctified: and whosoever had sanctified those things, they were under the hand of Selemith and his brethren.
29 Yishar abusua mu na Kenania firi. Ɔne ne mmammarima na wɔyii wɔn sɛ ɔman sohwɛfoɔ ne atemmufoɔ wɔ Israelman mu nyinaa.
But Chonenias and his sons were over the Isaarites, for the business abroad over Israel to teach them and judge them.

And of the Hebronites Hasabias, and his brethren most able men, a thousand seven hundred had the charge over Israel beyond the Jordan westward, in all the works of the Lord, and for the service of the king.
31 Bio, Hebron abusua mu na Yeria firi. Sɛdeɛ awoɔ ntoatoasoɔ nkrataa kyerɛ no, ɔno na na ɔyɛ Hebronfoɔ no ntuanoni. (Dawid dii ɔhene no, ne mfeɛ aduanan so, wɔhwehwɛɛ nkrataa mu na wɔhunuu mmarima a wɔbɔ wɔn ho mmɔden wɔ Hebron abusua no mu din wɔ kuro Yaser a ɛwɔ Gilead mu.
And the chief of the Hebronites was Jeria according to their families and kindreds. In the fortieth year of the reign of David they were numbered, and there were found most valiant men in Jazer Galaad,
32 Na mmarima a wɔbɔ wɔn ho mmɔden mpem mmienu ne ahanson na na wɔwɔ Yeria abusua mu. Ɔhene Dawid ma wɔkɔɔ Asubɔnten Yordan apueeɛ fam, ma wɔkɔhwɛɛ Ruben ne Gad mmusuakuo ne Manase abusuakuo fa no so. Nsɛm a ɛfa Onyankopɔn ho, ne ɔhene som ho nyinaa yɛ wɔn asɛdeɛ.)
And his brethren of stronger age, two thousand seven hundred chiefs of families. And king David made them rulers over the Rubenites and the Gadites, and the half tribe of Manasses, for all the service of God, and the king.
