1 Awurade kasa kyerɛɛ Aaron sɛ, “Wo, wo mmammarima ne wʼabusuafoɔ a wɔfiri Lewi abusuakuo mu no, mfomsoɔ biara a ɛfa kronkronbea hɔ no ho asodie bɛda mo so. Na sɛ biribi ankɔ so yie wɔ asɔfodwuma no mu a, wɔbɛbisa wo ne wo mmammarima ho asɛm.
Nake Jehova akĩĩra Harũni atĩrĩ, “Wee, na ariũ aku, na andũ a nyũmba ya thoguo, nĩ inyuĩ mũrĩcookagĩrĩrwo nĩ mahĩtia marĩa mangĩĩkwo makoniĩ handũ-harĩa-haamũre, na wee na ariũ aku inyuĩ nĩ inyuĩ mũrĩcookagĩrĩrwo nĩ mahĩtia marĩa mangĩĩkwo makoniĩ wĩra wa ũthĩnjĩri-Ngai.
2 Fa wo nkurɔfoɔ a wɔwɔ Lewi abusuakuo no mu ma wɔmmoa wo mmammarima wɔ dwumadie kronkron no a wɔyɛ no Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no anim.
Rehe Alawii a mbarĩ yanyu, a mũhĩrĩga wa maithe manyu, nĩguo manyiitane na inyuĩ na mamũteithagĩrĩrie rĩrĩa wee na ariũ aku mũgũtungata mbere ya Hema-ya-Ũira.
3 Ɛsɛ sɛ Lewifoɔ no hwɛ yie na wɔansɔ biribiara a ɛyɛ kronkron wɔ afɔrebukyia no so mu. Sɛ wɔyɛ saa a, mɛsɛe wo ne wɔn.
Acio nĩwe marĩathĩkagĩra na marutage wĩra wothe wa Hema ĩyo, no matikanakuhĩrĩrie indo cia handũ hau haamũre kana kĩgongona, kana wee hamwe nao mũkue.

Marĩrutithanagia wĩra na inyuĩ na mamenyagĩrĩre Hema-ya-Gũtũnganwo, marutage wĩra wothe wa Hema ĩyo na gũtikagĩe na mũndũ ũngĩ o wothe ũngĩkuhĩrĩria harĩa mũrĩ.
5 “Kae sɛ asɔfoɔ no nko ara na ɛsɛ sɛ wɔdi dwuma a ɛho te wɔ kronkronbea hɔ ne afɔrebukyia no so. Sɛ wodi saa mmara yi so a, Onyankopɔn abufuo no remma Israelfoɔ no so bio sɛ wɔabu mmara yi so.
“Nĩ wĩra wanyu kũmenyerera handũ hau haamũre o na kĩgongona, nĩguo mangʼũrĩ ma Jehova matikanakinyĩre andũ a Isiraeli rĩngĩ.
6 Meka bio sɛ, Lewifoɔ a wɔyɛ wo nkurɔfoɔ no na wɔmmoa wo wɔ Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no mu dwumadie no. Wɔyɛ akyɛdeɛ firi Awurade hɔ ma wo.
Niĩ mwene nĩthuurĩte Alawii athiritũ anyu kuuma thĩinĩ wa andũ a Isiraeli matuĩke kĩheo kĩanyu, maamũrĩirwo Jehova nĩguo marutage wĩra wa Hema-ya-Gũtũnganwo.
7 Nanso, wo ne wo mmammarima asɔfoɔ no ankasa na mobɛdi dwuma a ɛho te wɔ afɔrebukyia no so ne deɛ ɛwɔ ntwamutam no mu, na asɔfodwuma no deɛ, ɛyɛ mo ara mo dom akyɛdeɛ dwumadie. Onipa foforɔ biara a ɔbɛyɛ nʼadwene sɛ ɔbɛdi dwuma no bi no bɛwu.”
No rĩrĩ, no wee na ariũ aku mũrĩĩtungataga ta athĩnjĩri-Ngai maũndũ-inĩ mothe ma kĩgongona, na mũtungatage o na mwena ũcio ũngĩ wa gĩtambaya kĩu gĩa kũhakania. Niĩ nĩndamũhe ũtungata wa ũthĩnjĩri-Ngai ta kĩheo. Mũndũ ũngĩ o wothe ũngĩkuhĩrĩria handũ hau haamũre no nginya ooragwo.”
8 Awurade sane ka kyerɛɛ Aaron sɛ: “Mede akyɛdeɛ a nkurɔfoɔ de abrɛ Awurade no nyinaa ama asɔfoɔ no; saa akyɛdeɛ yi a wɔhim no Awurade anim nam so de kyɛɛ no wɔ afɔrebukyia no anim no no, daa daa mmara enti, ɛyɛ mo ne mo mmammarima dea.
Ningĩ Jehova akĩĩra Harũni atĩrĩ, “Niĩ mwene nĩngũtuĩte mũmenyereri wa maruta marĩa ndehagĩrwo; maruta mothe maamũre marĩa andũ a Isiraeli marĩndutagĩra nĩ ndakũhe wee na ariũ aku matuĩke gĩcunjĩ gĩaku na rũgai rwaku rwa mahinda mothe.

Ningĩ Jehova akĩĩra Harũni atĩrĩ, “Wee ndũgakorwo na igai bũrũri-inĩ wao, kana ũgĩe na rũgai thĩinĩ wao; niĩ nĩ niĩ rũgai rwaku o na igai rĩaku thĩinĩ wa andũ a Isiraeli.

25 Awurade sane ka kyerɛɛ Mose sɛ,
