15 Meboaa asutwafoɔ no ano wɔ Ahawa nsukwan no so, na yɛmaa wɔtenaa hɔ nnansa wɔ ɛberɛ a merehwɛ nnipa no ne asɔfoɔ a wɔabɛduru hɔ no din mu no. Manhunu Lewifoɔ no mu baako mpo wɔ hɔnom.

Ne mbakuŋŋaanyiza ku mugga ogukulukutira e Yakava, ne tusiisira eyo okumala ennaku ssatu. Awo bwe nnali nga nneekebejja abantu ne bakabona, ne sirabamu Baleevi.

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.

Kyennava ntumya Eryeza ne Alyeri ne Semaaya ne Erunasani ne Yalibu ne Erunasani ne Nasani ne Zekkaliya ne Mesullamu, abaali abakulembeze ne Yoyalibu ne Erunasani, abaali abategeevu,

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.

ne mbatuma eri Iddo omukulu w’ekifo eky’e Kasifiya, ne mbategeeza bye baba bagamba Iddo ne baganda be, abaaweerezanga mu yeekaalu mu kifo ekyo eky’e Kasifiya, batuuweereze abaweereza abaliyamba mu nnyumba ya Katonda waffe.

18 Esiane sɛ Onyankopɔn ahummɔborɔ nsa wɔ yɛn so no enti, wɔbrɛɛ yɛn ɔbarima bi a ne din de Serebia, a ne mmammarima ne ne nuammarimanom dunwɔtwe ka ne ho. Na ɔyɛ onyansafoɔ a ɔyɛ Mahli a na ɔyɛ Israel babarima Lewi no aseni.

Olw’omukono gwa Katonda ogwali awamu naffe, ne batuleetera omusajja omutegeevu, omu ku bazzukulu ba Makuli, mutabani wa Leevi, mutabani wa Isirayiri, erinnya lye Serebiya, wamu ne baganda be ne batabani baabwe, abasajja kkumi na munaana;

19 Afei, wɔmaa Merari asefoɔ Yesaia, Hasabia ne ne mmammarima ne ne nuammarima aduonu

ne Kasabiya, wamu naye Yesaya omu ku bazzukulu ba Merali, ne baganda be ne batabani baabwe, abasajja amakumi abiri.

20 ne asɔredan no mu asomfoɔ ahanu ne aduonu baeɛ. Na asɔredan mu asomfoɔ no yɛ Lewifoɔ no aboafoɔ a na wɔyɛ asɔredan mu adwumayɛfoɔ kuo bi a Dawid na ɔfaa wɔn kane. Wɔtwerɛɛ wɔn nyinaa din.

Ate era ne baleeta n’abaweereza ba yeekaalu Dawudi n’abakungu be baalonda okubeeranga Abaleevi ebikumi bibiri mu abiri. Bonna baali beewandiisizza.

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.

Awo ku mugga Akava, ne nangirira okusiiba, twetoowaze mu maaso ga Katonda waffe, nga tumwegayirira okubeera awamu naffe n’abaana baffe n’ebintu byaffe byonna mu lugendo lwaffe.

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.”

Nakwatibwa ensonyi okusaba kabaka abaserikale abakuumi ab’ebigere n’abeebagala embalaasi okutukuuma eri abalabe, kubanga twali tumutegeezeza nti, “Omukono omulungi ogwa Katonda waffe gubeera ku buli muntu amunoonya, naye obusungu bwe bubeera ku abo abamujeemera.”

23 Enti, yɛdii mmuada, bɔɔ mpaeɛ nokorɛ mu, sɛ yɛn Onyankopɔn bɛhwɛ yɛn, na ɔtiee yɛn mpaeɛbɔ.

Kyetwava tusiiba ne twegayirira Katonda waffe ku nsonga eyo, era n’addamu okusaba kwaffe.

24 Na meyii asɔfoɔ no ntuanofoɔ dumienu a wɔne Serebia, Hasabia ne asɔfoɔ afoforɔ edu a wɔka wɔn ho,

Awo ne nonda Serebiya ne Kasabiya ne baganda baabwe abalala kkumi, be bantu kkumi na babiri okuva mu bakabona abakulu,

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.

ne mbapimira ffeeza ne zaabu n’ebintu kabaka, n’abaami be, n’abakungu be, ne Isirayiri yenna, bye baawaayo ku lw’ennyumba ya Katonda waffe.

26 Mede agudeɛ no rema wɔn no, mekariiɛ na mehunuu sɛ emu duru yɛ: dwetɛ nkariboɔ tɔno aduonu mmienu, sikakɔkɔɔ nkuku ne nkaka nkariboɔ kilogram mpem mmiɛnsa ne ahanan, sikakɔkɔɔ nkariboɔ kilogram mpem mmiɛnsa ne ahanan,

Ne mbagererera ttani amakumi abiri mu ttaano eza ffeeza, n’ebintu ebya ffeeza obuzito bwabyo ttani ssatu n’ebitundu bisatu byakuna, ne zaabu ttani ssatu n’ebitundu bisatu byakuna,

27 sikakɔkɔɔ atam aduonu a ɛne sikakɔkɔɔ pranpran apem boɔ yɛ pɛ, kɔbere nneɛma mmienu a wɔabere ho ma ɛrekɔyɛ sɛ sikakɔkɔɔ amapa.

ne kilo munaana n’ekitundu eza zaabu, n’ebitundu bibiri eby’ekikomo ebirungi ebizigule, eby’omuwendo nga zaabu.

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.

Ne mbategeeza nti, “Muli batukuvu eri Mukama, n’ebintu bino bitukuvu eri Mukama. Effeeza ne zaabu biweebwayo kyeyagalire eri Mukama Katonda wa bajjajjammwe.

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.”

Mubikuume bulungi era mubituuse bulungi eri bakabona abakulu n’Abaleevi, n’abakulu b’ennyumba za Isirayiri.”

30 Enti, asɔfoɔ no ne Lewifoɔ no gye too wɔn ho so sɛ, wɔde saa Onyankopɔn asɔre sika no bɛkɔ Yerusalem.

Awo bakabona n’Abaleevi ne baweebwa effeeza ne zaabu, n’ebintu ebyawongebwa, ebyali bipimiddwa, okubitwala mu nnyumba ya Katonda waffe e Yerusaalemi.

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.

Ku lunaku olw’ekkumi n’ebbiri olw’omwezi ogw’olubereberye ne tusitula okuva ku mugga Akava okugenda e Yerusaalemi. Omukono gwa Katonda waffe ne gubeera wamu naffe, n’atukuuma eri abalabe n’abanyazi mu kkubo.

32 Enti, yɛkɔduruu Yerusalem dwoodwoo, homee hɔ nnansa.

Ne tutuuka e Yerusaalemi gye twawumulira okumala ennaku ssatu.

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.

Awo ku lunaku olwokuna, nga tuli mu nnyumba ya Katonda waffe, ne tupima ffeeza ne zaabu n’ebintu ebyawongebwa ne tubikwasa Meremoosi kabona, mutabani wa Uliya, ne Eriyazaali mutabani wa Finekaasi eyali awamu naye, ne Yozabadi mutabani wa Yeswa, ne Nowadiya mutabani wa Binnuyi, Abaleevi.

34 Wɔkanee biribiara dodoɔ, karii ne mu duru, twerɛɛ biribiara.

Byonna ne bibalibwa ng’omuwendo gwabyo bwe gwali n’obuzito bwabyo bwe bwali era ne biwandiikibwa.

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.

Mu kiseera ekyo abaawaŋŋangusibwa, abakomawo okuva mu busibe, ne bawaayo ebiweebwayo ebyokebwa eri Katonda wa Isirayiri: ente ennume kkumi na bbiri ku lwa Isirayiri yenna, n’endiga ennume kyenda mu mukaaga, n’obuliga obuto nga bulume nsanvu mu musanvu, n’embuzi ennume kkumi na bbiri okuba ekiweebwayo olw’ekibi, ebyo byonna ne biba ebiweebwayo ebyokebwa eri Mukama.

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.

Ate era ne batuusa n’ebiragiro bya kabaka eri bagavana n’abaamasaza abaali emitala w’omugga Fulaati, abafuzi abo ne bayamba abantu ne bawaayo n’obuyambi eri ennyumba ya Katonda.
