Forsothe Y gaderide hem togidere at the flood, that renneth doun to Hanna; and we dwelliden there thre daies. And `Y souyte in the puple, and in the prestis of the sonus of Leuy, and Y fonde not there.
16 Enti, mesoma ma wɔkɔfrɛɛ Elieser, Ariel, Semaia, Elnatan, Yarib, Elnatan, Natan, Sakaria ne Mesulam, a wɔyɛ ɔmanfoɔ no ntuanofoɔ no. Mesane soma ma wɔkɔfrɛɛ Yoiarib ne Elnatan, a na wɔyɛ anyansafoɔ pa bi no nso.

17 Mede wɔn kɔmaa Ido a na ɔtua Lewifoɔ ano no, wɔ Kasifia, bisaa ɔne nʼabusuafoɔ ne asɔredan no mu asomfoɔ no sɛ wɔmmrɛ yɛn asɔfoɔ mfa wɔn nkɔyɛ Onyankopɔn asɔredan a ɛwɔ Yerusalem no mu adwuma.

21 Na Ahawa Nsuka no so, mehyɛɛ sɛ yɛnni mmuada, na yɛmmrɛ yɛn ho ase mma Onyankopɔn. Yɛbɔɔ mpaeɛ sɛ ɔbɛma yɛakɔduru dwoodwoo, na wabɔ yɛn, yɛn mma ne yɛn nneɛma a yɛde rebɛtu kwan no ho ban.
And `Y prechide there fastyng bisidis the flood of Hanna, that we schulden be turmentid bifor `oure Lord God, and that we schulden axe of him the riytful weie to vs, and to oure sones, and to al oure catel.
22 Na mefɛree sɛ mebisaa ɔhene no sɛ ɔmma yɛn asraafoɔ ne apɔnkɔsotefoɔ sɛ wɔnka yɛn ho mmɔ yɛn ho ban wɔ ɛkwan so. Nokorɛm, na yɛaka akyerɛ ɔhene no sɛ, “Yɛn Onyankopɔn bɔ wɔn a wɔsom no no ho ban, na nʼabufuhyeɛ no tia wɔn a wɔgya no.”
For Y schamede to axe of the kyng help, and horse men, that schulden defende vs fro enemyes in the weie, for we hadden seid to the king, The hond of oure God is on alle men that seken hym in goodnesse; and his lordschip, and his strengthe, and strong veniaunce ben on alle men that forsaken hym.
23 Enti, yɛdii mmuada, bɔɔ mpaeɛ nokorɛ mu, sɛ yɛn Onyankopɔn bɛhwɛ yɛn, na ɔtiee yɛn mpaeɛbɔ.

24 Na meyii asɔfoɔ no ntuanofoɔ dumienu a wɔne Serebia, Hasabia ne asɔfoɔ afoforɔ edu a wɔka wɔn ho,
And `Y departide twelue of the princes of prestis, Sarabie, and Asabie, and ten of her britheren with hem;
25 sɛ wɔnhwɛ dwetɛ, sikakɔkɔɔ, sikakɔkɔɔ atam ne nneɛma a ɛka ho a ɔhene no nʼagyinatufoɔ, ne ntuanofoɔ ne Israelfoɔ de rekɔkyɛ Onyankopɔn asɔredan no so.

28 Na meka kyerɛɛ saa asɔfoɔ yi sɛ, “Wɔayi mo ne saa agyapadeɛ yi nyinaa asi nkyɛn sɛ ade kronkron ama Awurade. Saa dwetɛ ne sikakɔkɔɔ yi yɛ akoma pa mu afɔrebɔdeɛ a wɔde rema Awurade, yɛn agyanom Onyankopɔn.
And Y seide to hem, Ye ben the hooli men of the Lord,
29 Monhwɛ saa agyapadeɛ yi so yie, na momfa mma asɔfoɔ mpanin, Lewifoɔ ne Israel ntuanofoɔ wɔ adekoraeɛ a ɛwɔ Awurade asɔredan no mu wɔ Yerusalem no.”

30 Enti, asɔfoɔ no ne Lewifoɔ no gye too wɔn ho so sɛ, wɔde saa Onyankopɔn asɔre sika no bɛkɔ Yerusalem.
Sotheli the preestis and dekenes token the weiyte of siluer, and of gold, and of vessels, for to bere in to Jerusalem, in to the hows of oure God.
31 Yɛfirii Ahawa Nsuka atenaeɛ hɔ Ab bosome (bɛyɛ Oforisuo) da a ɛtɔ so dunkron, hyɛɛ aseɛ kɔɔ Yerusalem. Na Onyankopɔn ahummɔborɔ nsa no bɔɔ yɛn ho ban, gyee yɛn firii atamfoɔ ne akwanmukafoɔ nsam.
Therfor we mouyden forth fro the flood of Hanna, in the tweluethe dai of the firste monethe, for to go in to Jerusalem; and the hond of oure God was on vs, and delyuerde vs fro the hond of enemye and of aspiere in the weie.
32 Enti, yɛkɔduruu Yerusalem dwoodwoo, homee hɔ nnansa.
And we camen to Jerusalem, and we dwelliden there thre daies.
33 Yɛduruiɛ no, ne nnanan so, wɔkarii dwetɛ, sikakɔkɔɔ ne aboɔdenneɛ a aka no wɔ Onyankopɔn asɔredan no mu, na wɔde hyɛɛ Uria babarima ɔsɔfoɔ Meremot ne Pinehas babarima Eleasa ne Yesua babarima Yosabad ne Binui babarima Noadia a wɔn baanu no yɛ Lewifoɔ no nsa.
Forsothe in the fourthe dai the siluer was yoldun vndur certeyn weiyte and noumbre, and the gold, and the vessels, `in the hows of oure God, by the noumbre and weiyte of alle thingis, bi the hond of Remmoth, `sone of Vrie, preest; and with him was Eleazar, the sone of Phynees, and with him weren Jozaded, the sone of Josue, and Noadaie, the sone of Bennoy, dekenes;
34 Wɔkanee biribiara dodoɔ, karii ne mu duru, twerɛɛ biribiara.
and al the weiyte was discriued in that tyme.
35 Na asutwafoɔ a wɔfiri nnommum mu baeɛ no de anantwie dumienu, nnwennini aduɔkron nsia ne nnwammaa aduɔson nson, bɔɔ ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ, maa Israel Onyankopɔn. Afei, wɔmaa mpapo dumienu sɛ bɔne ho afɔrebɔdeɛ. Wɔde yeinom nyinaa baeɛ sɛ ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ, maa Awurade.

36 Wɔde ɔhene no mmara no maa ne mpanimfoɔ ne amradofoɔ a wɔwɔ asuo Eufrate atɔeɛ fam, na wɔn nyinaa yɛɛ baako, boaa Onyankopɔn asɔredan no sie.
Forsothe thei yauen the comaundementis of the kyng to the princes, that weren of the siyt of the king, and to the duykis biyende the flood; and thei reisiden the puple, and the hows of God.
