And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, and unto Aaron, saying,
2 “Kan Kohatfoɔ no dodoɔ a wɔwɔ Lewifoɔ no abusua mu.
'Take up the sum of the sons of Kohath from the midst of the sons of Levi, by their families, by the house of their fathers;
3 Saa nnipakan yi bɛyɛ mmarima nko ara a wɔadi firi mfeɛ aduasa kɔsi aduonum a wɔbɛtumi ayɛ adwuma wɔ Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan mu.
from a son of thirty years and upward, even till a son of fifty years, every one going in to the host, to do work in the tent of meeting.
4 “Kohat mma no dwumadie ne sɛ wɔbɛhwɛ akronkronneɛ no so wɔ Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no mu.
'This [is] the service of the sons of Kohath in the tent of meeting, the holy of holies:
5 Sɛ wɔretu afiri atenaeɛ hɔ a, Aaron ne ne mma mmarima na wɔbɛdi ɛkan akɔ Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no mu akɔfa nkatanimu no de akata adaka no ho.
that Aaron and his sons have come in, in the journeying of the camp, and have taken down the vail of the hanging, and have covered with it the ark of the testimony;
6 Afei, wɔde abirekyie nwoma bɛkata nkatanimu no ho na wɔde ntoma tuntum akata abirekyie nhoma no ho na wɔde nnua a wɔde soa adaka no ahyehyɛ ne nkawa no mu.
and have put on it a covering of badger skin, and have spread a garment completely of blue above, and have placed its staves.
7 “Afei, wɔmfa ntoma tuntum nsɛ ɛpono a Hyiadan mu Burodo no da so no so, na wɔmfa nyowaa, ntere, dwaresɛn akɛseɛ, nkuruwa ne Burodo no ngu ntoma no so.
'And on the table of the presence they spread a garment of blue, and have put on it the dishes, and the spoons, and the bowls, and the cups of the libation, and the bread of continuity is on it,
8 Wɔde ntoma kɔkɔɔ bɛkata so na wɔasane de abirekyie nhoma akata ntoma kɔkɔɔ no so. Na afei, wɔde nnua a wɔde bɛsoa no ahyehyɛ ɛpono no mu.
and they have spread over them a garment of scarlet, and have covered it with a covering of badger skin, and have placed its staves,
9 “Afei, ɛsɛ sɛ wɔde ntoma tuntum kata kaneadua no, nkanea no, adaawa no, nkukuo apaawa no ne ngo toa no ho.
and have taken a garment of blue, and have covered the candlestick of the lamp, and its lights, and its snuffers, and its snuff-dishes, and all its oil vessels wherewith they minister to it;
10 Saa nneɛma yi nyinaa nso, wɔde abirekyie nhoma bɛkata ho na wɔde nkyekyereeɛ yi nyinaa abɛgu ɛpono so.
and they have put it and all its vessels unto a covering of badger skin, and have put [it] on the bar.
11 “Ɛsɛ sɛ wɔde ntoma tuntum kata sikakɔkɔɔ afɔrebukyia no so na wɔsane de abirekyie nhoma kata so bio na wɔde nnua a wɔde soa no hyehyɛ afɔrebukyia no mu.
'And on the golden altar they spread a garment of blue, and have covered it with a covering of badger skin, and have placed its staves;
12 “Hyiadan no mu som no ho nneɛma a aka no nyinaa, ɛsɛ sɛ wɔde ntoma bibire kyekyere ho a wɔde abirekyie nhoma asane akyekyere ho na wɔde to mpata a wɔde soa no so.
and have taken all the vessels of ministry wherewith they minister in the sanctuary, and have put [them] unto a garment of blue, and have covered them with a covering of badger skin, and have put [them] on the bar,
13 “Ɛsɛ sɛ wɔtu nsõ no nyinaa firi afɔrebukyia no mu guo, na wɔde ntoma kɔkɔɔ bibire kyekyere ho.
and have removed the ashes of the altar, and have spread over it a garment of purple;
14 Ɛsɛ sɛ wɔde afɔrebukyia no ho ɔsom nneɛma nyinaa gu ntoma no so. Saa nneɛma no ne nkyɛnsee a wɔnoa mu, nsosɔmu, sofi, kyɛnsee kɛseɛ ne nneɛma a wɔkora mu nneɛma gu ntoma no so na wɔde abirekyie nhoma kata ne nyinaa so. Na afei, wɔde nnua a wɔde soa no gu faako a ɛsɛ sɛ wɔde guo.
and have put on it all its vessels wherewith they minister about it, the censers, the hooks, and the shovels, and the bowls, all the vessels of the altar, and have spread on it a covering of badger skin, and have placed its staves:
15 “Sɛ Aaron ne ne mma mmarima no wie kronkronbea hɔ nneɛma no anoboa a, Kohat ne nʼabusuafoɔ bɛba abɛsoa akɔ baabiara a wɔretu nneɛma akɔ. Nanso wɔnni ho kwan sɛ wɔde wɔn nsa ka nneɛma a ɛho te no bi. Wɔyɛ saa a, wɔbɛwuwu. Kohat mma na ɛsɛ sɛ wɔsoa nneɛma a ɛwɔ Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no mu.
'And Aaron hath finished — his sons also — covering the sanctuary, and all the vessels of the sanctuary, in the journeying of the camp, and afterwards do the sons of Kohath come in to bear [it], and they do not come unto the holy thing, that they have died; these [things are] the burden of the sons of Kohath in the tent of meeting.
16 “Aaron babarima Eleasa na ɔbɛhwɛ ngo a wɔde bɛsɔ kanea, nnuhwam, daa aduane a wɔde bɔ afɔdeɛ, ɔsra ngo ne Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no nyinaa so. Biribibiara a ɛwɔ Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no mu no nso, ɔbɛhwɛ so.”
'And the oversight of Eleazar, son of Aaron the priest, [is] the oil of the lamp, and the spice-perfume, and the present of continuity, and the anointing oil, the oversight of all the tabernacle, and of all that [is] in it, in the sanctuary, and in its vessels.'
17 Afei, Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose ne Aaron sɛ,
And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,
18 “Monntwa Kohatfoɔ abusuakuo no mfiri Lewifoɔ mu.
'Ye do not cut off the tribe of the families of the Kohathite from the midst of the Levites;
19 Sɛ wɔresoa nneɛma a ɛho te no a, deɛ ɛsɛ sɛ wɔyɛ a wɔrenwuwu nie: Ɛsɛ sɛ Aaron ne ne mma mmarima no ne wɔn kɔ hɔ kɔkyerɛ wɔn adeɛ a ɛsɛ sɛ wɔn mu biara soa.
but this do to them, and they have lived, and do not die in their drawing nigh the holy of holies: — Aaron and his sons go in, and have set them, each man to his service, and unto his burden,
20 Sɛ wɔanyɛ saa a, ɛnsɛ sɛ wɔkɔ kronkronbea hɔ koraa. Sɛ wɔyɛ saa a, wɔbɛhunu nneɛma a ɛho te no na ɛrenkyɛre koraa wɔawuwu.”
and they go not in to see when the holy thing is swallowed, that they have died.'
21 Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose sɛ,
And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,
22 “Kan Gerson asefoɔ a wɔfra Lewifoɔ abusua mu no,
'Take up the sum of the sons of Gershon also by the house of their fathers, by their families;
23 firi mmarima a wɔadi mfeɛ aduasa kɔsi aduonum a wɔbɛtumi ayɛ adwuma kronkron wɔ Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan mu hɔ so.
from a son of thirty years and upward, till a son of fifty years thou dost number them, every one who is going in to serve the host, to do the service in the tent of meeting.
24 “Gerson mmusua no dwuma a wɔbɛdie nie:
'This [is] the service of the families of the Gershonite, to serve — and for burden,
25 Wɔbɛsoa ntoma a ɛtwa Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan mu hɔ, Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no ankasa ne deɛ ɛkata ho, abirekyie nhoma nkurusoɔ ne ntoma a ɛsɛn Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no ano no.
and they have borne the curtains of the tabernacle, and the tent of meeting, its covering, and the covering of the badger [skin] which [is] on it above, and the vail at the opening of the tent of meeting,
26 Afei, wɔbɛsoa nkataho a ɛkata adihɔ hɔ ɔfasuo no ho no. Wɔbɛsoa ntoma a ɛtwa adihɔ hɔ ɛkwan no ano ne afɔrebukyia ne Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no ntam no. Wɔbɛsoa afɔrebukyia no, ntampehoma ne deɛ ɛkeka ho nyinaa. Wɔn na ɛsɛ sɛ wɔhwɛ, twe yeinom nyinaa.
and the hangings of the court, and the vail at the opening of the gate of the court which [is] by the tabernacle, and by the altar round about, and their cords, and all the vessels of their service, and all that is made for them — and they have served.
27 Aaron anaa ne mmammarima no bi tumi ma Gerson asefoɔ no bi dwuma di.
'By the command of Aaron and his sons is all the service of the sons of the Gershonite in all their burden, and in all their service; and ye have laid a charge on them concerning the charge of all their burden.
28 Nanso Gersonfoɔ no bɛhyɛ Aaron Itamar ase.
This [is] the service of the families of the sons of the Gershonite in the tent of meeting; and their charge [is] under the hand of Ithamar son of Aaron the priest.
29 “Afei, kan Merari asefoɔ a wɔfra Lewifoɔ abusua mu no
'The sons of Merari, by their families, by the house of their fathers, thou dost number them;
30 ɛfiri mmarima a wɔadi mfeɛ aduasa kɔsi aduonum so a wɔbɛtumi ayɛ adwuma wɔ Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan mu hɔ.
from a son of thirty years and upward even unto a son of fifty years thou dost number them, every one who is going in to the host, to do the service of the tent of meeting.
31 Sɛ wɔpagya Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no a, wɔn na ɛsɛ sɛ wɔsoa ne nnyinasoɔ, nnua a ɛsisi mu, ne nsisisoɔ
'And this [is] the charge of their burden, of all their service in the tent of meeting; the boards of the tabernacle, and its bars, and its pillars, and its sockets,
32 mpunan a wɔde yɛɛ adihɔ hɔ afasuo no ne ne nsisisoɔ, mpɛɛwa, ntampehoma ne biribiara a wɔde di ho dwuma. Fa dwumadie ahodoɔ no hyɛ nnipa a wobɛbobɔ wɔn edin nsa.
and the pillars of the court round about, and their sockets, and their pins, and their cords, of all their vessels, and of all their service; and by name ye do number the vessels of the charge of their burden.
33 Merari asefoɔ no, Aaron babarima Itamar na ɔbɛhwɛ wɔn so.”
'This [is] the service of the families of the sons of Merari, for all their service, in the tent of meeting, by the hand of Ithamar son of Aaron the priest.'
