Ngasengibabuthanisa ngasemfuleni oya eAhava, samisa inkamba khona insuku ezintathu. Ngananzelela abantu labapristi, njalo kangitholanga lapho abamadodana kaLevi.
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.
Ngasengithuma kuEliyezeri, kuAriyeli, kuShemaya, lakuElinathani, lakuJaribi, lakuElinathani, lakuNathani, lakuZekhariya, lakuMeshulamu, izinhloko, lakuJoyaribi, lakuElinathani, abaqedisisayo,
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.
ngasengibalayela kuIdo, inhloko endaweni iKasifiya, ngafaka amazwi emlonyeni wabo ukuthi bathi kuIdo, labafowabo, amaNethini endaweni iKasifiya, ukuthi basilethele izikhonzi zendlu kaNkulunkulu wethu.
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.
Basebesilethela ngokwesandla esihle sikaNkulunkulu wethu phezu kwethu umuntu oqedisisayo emadodaneni kaMahli indodana kaLevi indodana kaIsrayeli; loSherebiya lamadodana akhe labafowabo, itshumi lesificaminwembili;
19 Afei, wɔmaa Merari asefoɔ Yesaia, Hasabia ne ne mmammarima ne ne nuammarima aduonu
loHashabhiya, njalo kanye laye uJeshaya emadodaneni kaMerari, abafowabo lamadodana abo, amatshumi amabili;
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.
lakumaNethini, uDavida leziphathamandla ababewanikele emsebenzini wamaLevi, amaNethini angamakhulu amabili lamatshumi amabili, wonke awo abizwa ngamabizo.
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.
Ngasengimemezela ukuzila ukudla khona emfuleni iAhava ukuze sizithobe phambi kukaNkulunkulu wethu, sizidingele kuye indlela eqondileyo thina labantwanyana bethu lazo zonke impahla zethu.
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.”
Ngoba ngaba lenhloni ukucela enkosini ibutho labagadi bamabhiza ukusinceda ezitheni endleleni; ngoba sasiyitshelile inkosi sisithi: Isandla sikaNkulunkulu wethu siphezu kwabo bonke abamdinga kube okuhle, kodwa amandla akhe lolaka lwakhe kuphezu kwabo bonke abamdelayo.
23 Enti, yɛdii mmuada, bɔɔ mpaeɛ nokorɛ mu, sɛ yɛn Onyankopɔn bɛhwɛ yɛn, na ɔtiee yɛn mpaeɛbɔ.
Ngakho sazila ukudla sadinga kuNkulunkulu wethu ngenxa yalokhu; wasencengeka ngathi.
24 Na meyii asɔfoɔ no ntuanofoɔ dumienu a wɔne Serebia, Hasabia ne asɔfoɔ afoforɔ edu a wɔka wɔn ho,
Ngasengisehlukanisa abalitshumi lambili kunhloko zabapristi, oSherebiya, uHashabhiya, labalitshumi kubafowabo kanye labo.
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.
Ngasengibalinganisela isiliva legolide lezitsha, umnikelo wendlu kaNkulunkulu wethu, inkosi labacebisi bayo leziphathamandla zayo loIsrayeli wonke owayekhona ababekunikele;
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,
ngasengilinganisa esandleni sabo amathalenta esiliva angamakhulu ayisithupha lamatshumi amahlanu, lamathalenta alikhulu ezitsha zesiliva, lamathalenta egolide alikhulu,
27 sikakɔkɔɔ atam aduonu a ɛne sikakɔkɔɔ pranpran apem boɔ yɛ pɛ, kɔbere nneɛma mmienu a wɔabere ho ma ɛrekɔyɛ sɛ sikakɔkɔɔ amapa.
lemiganu yegolide engamatshumi amabili kuze kube zinhlamvu eziyinkulungwane, lezitsha ezimbili zethusi elikhazimulayo elihle eliloyiseka njengegolide.
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.
Ngasengisithi kibo: Lingcwele eNkosini, lezitsha zingcwele; lesiliva legolide kungumnikelo wesihle eNkosini, uNkulunkulu wabobaba.
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.”
Kulondolozeni likugcine lize likulinganise phambi kwenduna yabapristi lamaLevi lenhloko zaboyise bakoIsrayeli eJerusalema, emakamelweni endlu yeNkosi.
30 Enti, asɔfoɔ no ne Lewifoɔ no gye too wɔn ho so sɛ, wɔde saa Onyankopɔn asɔre sika no bɛkɔ Yerusalem.
Abapristi lamaLevi basebesemukela isisindo sesiliva legolide lezitsha, ukuze bakuse eJerusalema, endlini kaNkulunkulu wethu.
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.
Sasuka-ke emfuleni iAhava ngolwetshumi lambili lwenyanga yokuqala ukuya eJerusalema. Lesandla sikaNkulunkulu wethu sasiphezu kwethu, wasikhulula esandleni sesitha lomcathami endleleni.
32 Enti, yɛkɔduruu Yerusalem dwoodwoo, homee hɔ nnansa.
Safika-ke eJerusalema, sahlala khona insuku ezintathu.
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.
Kwathi ngosuku lwesine isiliva legolide lezitsha kwalinganiswa endlini kaNkulunkulu wethu ngesandla sikaMeremothi indodana kaUriya umpristi, njalo kanye laye uEleyazare indodana kaPhinehasi, njalo kanye labo oJozabadi indodana kaJeshuwa, loNowadiya indodana kaBinuwi, amaLevi,
34 Wɔkanee biribiara dodoɔ, karii ne mu duru, twerɛɛ biribiara.
ngenani ngesisindo sakho konke; laso sonke isisindo sabhalwa ngalesosikhathi.
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.
Abantwana bokuthunjwa ababebuyile ekuthunjweni banikela iminikelo yokutshiswa kuNkulunkulu kaIsrayeli, amajongosi alitshumi lambili ngenxa kaIsrayeli wonke, izinqama ezingamatshumi ayisificamunwemunye lesithupha, amawundlu angamatshumi ayisikhombisa lesikhombisa, izimpongo ezilitshumi lambili zaba ngumnikelo wesono; konke kwakungumnikelo wokutshiswa eNkosini.
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.
Basebenika imithetho yenkosi kuziphathamandla zenkosi lakubabusi nganeno komfula; basekela abantu lendlu kaNkulunkulu.
