For the LORD had spoken to Moses, saying,

Only thou shalt not number the tribe of Levi, neither take the sum of them among the children of Israel:

50 Fa Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no ho dwumadie hyɛ Lewifoɔ no nsa. Wɔnhwɛ nneɛma a wɔde asiesie mu ne deɛ ɛkeka ho nyinaa so. Wɔn na wɔbɛsoa Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no ne emu nneɛma, wɔbɛhwɛ so na wɔatenatena ho.

But thou shalt appoint the Levites over the tabernacle of testimony, and over all its vessels, and over all things that belong to it: they shall bear the tabernacle, and all its vessels; and they shall minister to it, and shall encamp around the tabernacle.

51 Ɛberɛ biara a ɛsɛ sɛ wɔtu Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no, Lewifoɔ no na ɛsɛ sɛ wɔtutu, na baabiara a wɔde bɛsi no, wɔn na wɔbɛyɛ. Onipa foforɔ biara a ɔbɛbɛn ho no, wɔbɛkum no.

And when the tabernacle moveth forward, the Levites shall take it down: and when the tabernacle is to be pitched, the Levites shall set it up: and the stranger that cometh near shall be put to death.

52 Israel abusuakuo biara bɛnya nʼatenaeɛ ne ne frankaa.

And the children of Israel shall pitch their tents, every man by his own camp, and every man by his own standard, throughout their hosts.

53 Lewifoɔ no bɛsisi wɔn ntomadan atwa Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no ho ahyia, sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a Onyankopɔn abufuhyeɛ remma Israelfoɔ no so. Lewifoɔ no na wɔbɛhwɛ Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no so.”

But the Levites shall encamp around the tabernacle of testimony, that there may be no wrath upon the congregation of the children of Israel: and the Levites shall keep the charge of the tabernacle of testimony.

54 Israelfoɔ no yɛɛ yeinom nyinaa sɛdeɛ Awurade hyɛɛ Mose no.

And the children of Israel did according to all that the LORD commanded Moses, so did they.
