Nehemiah 12
1 Now these are the priests and the Levites that went up with Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and Jeshua: Seraiah, Jeremiah, Ezra,
Saa nnipa yi ne asɔfo ne Lewifo a wɔne Sealtiel babarima Serubabel ne ɔsɔfopanyin Yesua san wɔn akyi no: Seraia, Yeremia, Ɛsra,

6 Shemaiah, and Joiarib, Jedaiah,
Semaia, Yoiarib, Yedaia,
7 Sallu, Amok, Hilkiah, Jedaiah. These were the chief of the priests and of their brethren in the days of Jeshua.
Salu, Amok, Hilkia ne Yedaia. Yesua bere so no, na eyinom ne asɔfo ntuanofo ne wɔn mfɛfo.
8 Moreover the Levites: Jeshua, Binnui, Kadmiel, Sherebiah, Judah, and Mattaniah, who was over the thanksgiving, he and his brethren.
Lewifo a wɔne wɔn san wɔn akyi no ni: Yesua, Binui Kadmiel, Serebia, Yuda, Matania a na ɔne ne mfɛfo na na wɔhwɛ aseda nnwom so no.
9 Also Bakbukiah and Unni, their brethren, stood opposite them in the watches.
Na sɛ wɔresom a, wɔn mfɛfo Bakbukia ne Uni sɔre gyina ne wɔn di nhwɛanim.
10 And Jeshua begat Joiakim, Joiakim also begat Eliashib, and Eliashib begat Joiada,
Ɔsɔfopanyin Yesua woo Yoiakim, Yoiakim woo Eliasib, Eliasib woo Yoiada,
11 And Joiada begat Jonathan, and Jonathan begat Jaddua.
na Yoiada woo Yonatan, na Yonatan woo Yadua.
12 And in the days of Joiakim were priests, the heads of the fathers: of Seraiah, Meraiah; of Jeremiah, Hananiah;
Bere a Yoiakim yɛ ɔsɔfopanyin no, na asɔfo mmusua mu ntuanofo no ne: Meraia a otua Seraia abusua ano. Hanania a otua Yeremia abusua ano.
13 Of Ezra, Meshullam; of Amariah, Jehohanan;

22 The Levites in the days of Eliashib, Joiada, and Johanan, and Jaddua, were recorded heads of the fathers: also the priests, to the reign of Darius the Persian.
Persiahene Dario a ɔto so abien bere so no, wɔkyerɛw Lewifo ne asɔfo mmusua mu ntuanofo no nyinaa din wɔ saa asɔfo mpanyimfo yi bere so: Eliasib, Yoiada, Yohanan, ne Yadua.
23 The sons of Levi, the heads of the fathers, were written in the book of the chronicles, even till the days of Johanan the son of Eliashib.
Wɔkyerɛw Lewifo mmusua ntuanofo no din guu Abakɔsɛm Nhoma mu kosii Eliasib nena Yohanan bere so.
24 And the chief of the Levites: Hashabiah, Sherebiah, and Jeshua the son of Kadmiel, with their brethren opposite them, to praise and to give thanks, according to the commandment of David the man of God, division side by side with division.
Eyinom ne Lewifo mmusua ntuanofo: Hasabia, Serebia, Yesua, Binui, Kadmiel ne wɔn mfɛfo bi a sɛ edu ayeyi ne aseda afahyɛ so a, wogyina hɔ ne wɔn di nhwɛanim, na ɔfa gye ɔfa so wɔ nnwonto mu, sɛnea Dawid, Onyankopɔn nipa, kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ wɔnyɛ no.
25 Mattaniah, and Bakbukiah, Obadiah, Meshullam, Talmon, Akkub, were porters keeping the watch at the storehouses of the gates.
Na Matania, Bakbukia ne Obadia nso ka ho. Mesulam, Talmon ne Akub na wɔyɛ aponanohwɛfo a wɔhwɛ adekoradan a ɛwɔ apon no ano no so.
26 These were in the days of Joiakim the son of Jeshua, the son of Jozadak, and in the days of Nehemiah the governor, and of Ezra the priest, the scribe.
Na eyinom nyinaa som wɔ Yesua babarima Yoiakim a ɔyɛ Yosadak nena ne Nehemia a ɔyɛ amrado ne Ɛsra a na ɔyɛ ɔsɔfo ne mmara no kyerɛkyerɛfo bere so.
27 And at the dedication of the wall of Jerusalem they sought the Levites out of all their places, to bring them to Jerusalem, to keep the dedication with gladness, both with thanksgivings, and with singing, with cymbals, psalteries, and with harps.
Bere a wɔredwira Yerusalem fasu foforo no, wɔka kyerɛɛ Lewifo a wɔwɔ asase no so nyinaa se, wɔmmra Yerusalem mmɛboa dwumadi no. Na ɛsɛ sɛ wɔde kyɛnkyɛn, mmɛnta ne asankuten to wɔn aseda nnwom de hyɛ anigye fa no.
28 And the sons of the singers gathered themselves together, both out of the plain country around Jerusalem, and from the villages of Netophathi;
Wɔde nnwontofo no fi Yerusalem ne ne nkuraa ne Netofafo nkuraa nyinaa bɔɔ mu bae.
29 Also from the house of Gilgal, and from the fields of Geba and Azmaveth: for the singers had built them villages around Jerusalem.
Ebi nso fi Bet-Gilgal ne Geba pɔw mu hɔ ne Asmawet, efisɛ na nnwontofo no ara akyekyere wɔn ankasa nkuraa afa Yerusalem ho ahyia.
30 And the priests and the Levites purified themselves, and purified the people, and the gates, and the wall.
Asɔfo no ne Lewifo no dwiraa wɔn ho, afei wodwiraa ɔmanfo no, dwiraa apon no ne fasu no nso.
31 Then I brought up the princes of Judah upon the wall, and appointed two great companies of them that gave thanks, of which one went on the right hand upon the wall toward the dung gate:
Midii Yuda ntuanofo no anim kɔɔ ɔfasu no atifi, na meboaboaa nnwontofo akuw akɛse abien ano ma wɔbɛdaa ase. Nnwontofo kuw no mu baako kɔɔ anafo wɔ ɔfasu no atifi kosii Sumina Pon no.
32 And after them went Hoshaiah, and half of the princes of Judah,
Hosaia ne Yuda ntuanofo no mu fa dii wɔn akyi,
33 And Azariah, Ezra, and Meshullam,
na Asaria, Ɛsra, Mesulam,
34 Judah, and Benjamin, and Shemaiah, and Jeremiah,
Yuda, Benyamin, Semaia, Yeremia
35 And certain of the priests’ sons with trumpets; namely, Zechariah the son of Jonathan, the son of Shemaiah, the son of Mattaniah, the son of Michaiah, the son of Zaccur, the son of Asaph:
ne asɔfo no bi a wɔhyɛn torobɛnto no dii wɔn akyi. Ɛno akyi na Yonatan babarima Sakaria, Semaia babarima, Matania babarima, Mikaia babarima, Sakur babarima a ɔyɛ Asaf aseni no di.
36 And his brethren, Shemaiah, and Azarael, Milalai, Gilalai, Maai, Nethaneel, and Judah, Hanani, with the musical instruments of David the man of God, and Ezra the scribe before them.
Ne korakora no, Sakaria mfɛfo a wɔne Semaia, Asarel, Milalai, Gilalai, Maai, Netanel, Yuda ne Hanani dii wɔn so. Wɔfaa nnwontode a Dawid a ɔyɛ Onyankopɔn nipa akyerɛ sɛ wɔmfa no. Na Ɛsra a ɔyɛ mmara no kyerɛkyerɛfo no na odii santen no anim.
37 And at the fountain gate, which was opposite them, they went up by the stairs of the city of David, at the ascent of the wall, above the house of David, even to the water gate eastward.
Wɔfaa Asu Aniwa Pon no ho, kɔɔ tee kɔforoo kuropɔn no fasu antweri a ɛkyerɛ Dawid kuropɔn no. Wɔfaa Dawid fi ho, kosii Nsu Pon a ɛwɔ apuei fam no ho.
38 And the other company of them that gave thanks went to meet them, and I after them, and the half of the people upon the wall, from beyond the tower of the furnaces even to the broad wall;
Nnwontofo a wɔto so abien no faa atifi kwan kohyiaa wɔn. Me ne ɔmanfo no mu fa dii wɔn akyi. Yɛfaa ɔfasu no so nam Fononoo Abantenten no ho kosii Ɔfasu Tɛtrɛɛ no,
39 And from above the gate of Ephraim, and above the old gate, and above the fish gate, and the tower of Hananeel, and the tower of Meah, even to the sheep gate: and they stood still in the prison gate.
afei yetwaa Efraim Pon no ho, kosii Kuropɔn Dedaw Pon no, yɛfaa Mpataa Pon no ho, kosii Hananel Abantenten ho kɔɔ Ɔha Abantenten no ho. Yɛtoaa so kɔɔ Nguan Pon no ho, na yekogyinaa Ɔwɛn Pon no ano.
40 So stood the two companies of them that gave thanks in the house of God, and I, and the half of the rulers with me:
Nnwontokuw abien a na wɔreda ase no kɔɔ Awurade Asɔredan mu kɔtenatenaa ase. Me nso me ne akuw ntuanofo a na wɔka me ho no yɛɛ saa ara.
41 And the priests; Eliakim, Maaseiah, Miniamin, Michaiah, Elioenai, Zechariah, and Hananiah, with trumpets;
Yɛne asɔfo a na wɔhyɛn torobɛnto a wɔne Eliakim, Maaseia, Miniamin, Mikaia, Elioenai, Sakaria, Hanania
42 And Maaseiah, and Shemaiah, and Eleazar, and Uzzi, and Jehohanan, and Malchijah, and Elam, and Ezer. And the singers sang loud, with Jezrahiah their overseer.
ne nnwontofo Maaseia, Semaia, Eleasar, Usi, Yehohanan, Malkia, Elam ne Eser na yɛbɔɔ mu kɔe. Wɔtoo nnwom a na dwonkyerɛfo Yisrahia rema wɔn akwankyerɛ.
43 Also that day they offered great sacrifices, and rejoiced: for God had made them rejoice with great joy: the wives also and the children rejoiced: so that the joy of Jerusalem was heard even afar off.
Saa anigye da no, wɔbɔɔ afɔre bebree, efisɛ na Onyankopɔn ayɛ biribi ama wɔn a enti ɛsɛ sɛ wɔma wɔn ani gye. Mmea ne mmofra nyinaa de wɔn ho hyɛɛ afahyɛ no mu, na ɔmanfo a wɔwɔ Yerusalem no osebɔ no duu akyirikyiri.
44 And at that time were some appointed over the chambers for the treasures, for the offerings, for the firstfruits, and for the tithes, to gather into them out of the fields of the cities the portions of the law for the priests and Levites: for Judah rejoiced for the priests and for the Levites that waited.
Da no, woyii mmarima sɛ wɔnhwɛ adekoradan a wɔde akyɛde, otwakan ne ntotoso du du gu mu no so. Na ɛyɛ wɔn asɛde sɛ wokogyigye fi mfuw mu, sɛnea asɔfo ne Lewifo mmara kyerɛ no, efisɛ na asɔfo ne Lewifo ne wɔn dwumadi no ho hia Yudafo nyinaa yiye.
45 And both the singers and the porters kept the charge of their God, and the charge of the purification, according to the commandment of David, and of Solomon his son.
Wɔyɛɛ wɔn Nyankopɔn som no ne ahodwira som no pɛpɛɛpɛ, sɛnea Dawid ne ne babarima Salomo mmara kyerɛ no, na saa ara nso na nnwontofo no ne aponanohwɛfo no yɛe.
46 For in the days of David and Asaph of old there were leaders of the singers, and songs of praise and thanksgiving to God.
Amanne a wɔma nnwontofo akwankyerɛfo di nnwontofo no anim wɔ nkamfo ne aseda nnwom a wɔto de ma Onyankopɔn no fii ase fi Dawid ne Asaf bere so.
47 And all Israel in the days of Zerubbabel, and in the days of Nehemiah, gave the portions of the singers and the porters, every day his portion: and they sanctified holy things to the Levites; and the Levites sanctified them to the children of Aaron.
Enti efi Serubabel ne Nehemia bere so no, na daa ɔmanfo brɛ nnwontofo no ne aponanohwɛfo ne Lewifo no nnuan. Na Lewifo no nso de nea wonya no mu bi ma asɔfo a wɔyɛ Aaron asefo no.
