For Yahweh spake unto Moses saying:

Only the tribe of Levi, shalt thou not number, nor the sum of them, shalt thou reckon up, in the midst of the sons 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 do, thou thyself, put the Levites in charge over the habitation of the testimony, and over all the furniture thereof and over all that pertaineth thereto, they, shall bear the habitation, and all the furniture thereof, and they, shall attend thereupon; and, round about the habitation, shall they encamp.

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 habitation is to set forward, the Levites shall take it down, and when the habitation is to be pitched, the Levites, shall set it up, but the stranger that draweth near, shall be put to death.

52 Israel abusuakuo biara bɛnya nʼatenaeɛ ne ne frankaa.

So then the sons of Israel shall pitch their tents, every man, near his own camp, and, every man, near his own standard, by 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.”
