1 So all Israel were listed by genealogies; and behold, they are written in the book of the kings of Israel. Judah was carried away captive to Babylon for their disobedience.
Wɔkyerɛw Israel anato biara mu nnipa din guu Israel ne Yuda Ahemfo nhoma mu. Esiane sɛ na Yudafo no nni Awurade nokware no nti, wotwaa wɔn asu kɔɔ Babilonia.
2 Now the first inhabitants who lived in their possessions in their cities were Israel, the priests, the Levites, and the temple servants.

18 who previously served in the king’s gate eastward. They were the gatekeepers for the camp of the children of Levi.

19 Shallum was the son of Kore, the son of Ebiasaph, the son of Korah, and his brothers, of his father’s house, the Korahites, were over the work of the service, keepers of the thresholds of the tent. Their fathers had been over Yahweh’s camp, keepers of the entry.

21 Zechariah the son of Meshelemiah was gatekeeper of the door of the Tent of Meeting.
Akyiri no, Meselemia babarima Sakaria na na ɔwɛn ɔkwan a ɛkɔ Ahyiae Ntamadan no mu no ano.
22 All these who were chosen to be gatekeepers in the thresholds were two hundred twelve. These were listed by genealogy in their villages, whom David and Samuel the seer ordained in their office of trust.
Ne nyinaa mu, saa bere no, na apon ano ahwɛfo no dodow yɛ ahannu ne dumien a na wɔakyerɛw wɔn din wɔ wɔn anato nkrataa mu wɔ wɔn nkuraa. Dawid ne Samuel a na ɔyɛ ɔdehufo no ama wɔn dibea a ɛsom bo.
23 So they and their children had the oversight of the gates of Yahweh’s house, even the house of the tent, as guards.
Saa apon ano ahwɛfo yi ne wɔn asefo no, na wɔkyekyɛ wɔn mu kɔwɛn ɔkwan a ɛkɔ Awurade fi, a kan no na ɛyɛ ntamadan no ano.

26 for the four chief gatekeepers, who were Levites, were in an office of trust, and were over the rooms and over the treasuries in God’s house.

27 They stayed around God’s house, because that was their duty; and it was their duty to open it morning by morning.

28 Certain of them were in charge of the vessels of service, for these were brought in by count, and these were taken out by count.
Na apon ano ahwɛfo no bi adwuma ne sɛ, wɔhwɛ nneɛma ahorow a wɔde yɛ ɔsom adwuma no so. Sɛ wɔrekɔfa, na wɔresan de akogu hɔ no nyinaa, wɔhwɛ sɛ bi renyera.
29 Some of them also were appointed over the furniture, and over all the vessels of the sanctuary, over the fine flour, the wine, the oil, the frankincense, and the spices.

32 Some of their brothers, of the sons of the Kohathites, were over the show bread, to prepare it every Sabbath.
Na nnipa bi a wofi Kohat abusua mu nso na na wɔhwɛ, siesie brodo a wɔde to pon Homeda no.
33 These are the singers, heads of fathers’ households of the Levites, who lived in the rooms and were free from other service, for they were employed in their work day and night.
Nnwom ho nimdefo a na wɔn nso yɛ Lewifo atitiriw no nyinaa, na wɔtete Asɔredan no mu. Na wɔmma wɔnnyɛ dwuma foforo biara, esiane wɔn adwuma a wɔyɛ no mmere nyinaa nti.
34 These were heads of fathers’ households of the Levites, throughout their generations, chief men. They lived at Jerusalem.
