4 Mose 2
1 Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose ne Aaron sɛ:
Then Yahweh said this to Aaron and Moses/me:
2 “Abusua biara bɛnya nʼafa wɔ atenaeɛ hɔ, na ekuo biara bɛtena nʼabusua frankaa ase. Na mmusua no atenaeɛ ahodoɔ no mfimfini na wɔde Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no bɛsi.”
“When the Israelis set up their tents, they should set them up in areas that surround the Sacred Tent, but not close to it. The people of each tribe must set up their tents in a different area. Each tribe must erect in that area a banner of their own clan and a flag that represents their tribe.
3 Apueeɛ fam, baabi a owia pue firi hɔ no na ɛsɛ sɛ Yuda nnipa nkyekyɛmu ahodoɔ no nyinaa bɔ wɔn atenaeɛ wɔ wɔn frankaa ase. Yudafoɔ ntuanoni ne Aminadab ba Nahson.
The people of the tribes of Judah, Issachar, and Zebulun must set up their tents on the east side of the Sacred Tent, close to their tribal flags. These are the names of the leaders of those tribes and the number of soldiers whom they will lead: Nahshon, the son of Amminadab, will be the leader of the 74,600 men of the tribe of Judah.

Behind that group will walk the descendants of Levi, who will carry the Sacred Tent. The Israelis will march in the same order that they always set up their tents. Each tribe will carry its own flag.

So there were 603,550 Israeli men who were able to fight who were listed according to their families’ ancestors.
33 Sɛdeɛ Awurade hyɛɛ Mose no, wɔankan Lewifoɔ no anka Israelfoɔ no ho.
But just as Yahweh had commanded, the names of the descendants of Levi were not included.
34 Enti Israelfoɔ yɛɛ biribiara sɛdeɛ Awurade hyɛɛ Mose no. Wɔbobɔɔ wɔn atenaeɛ, tenatenaa wɔn frankaa ahodoɔ ase, na wɔnantee nnidisoɔ nnidisoɔ sɛdeɛ wɔn mmusua ne wɔn afie teɛ.
The Israelis did everything that Yahweh had told Moses/me. They set up their tents close to their tribal flags, and when they traveled [to a new location, they walked] with their own clans and family groups.
