1 Chronicles 24
1 Now these were the divisions of the sons of Aaron. The sons of Aaron: Nadab, and Abihu, and Eleazar, and Ithamar.
Sɛdeɛ wɔkyekyɛɛ Aaron asefoɔ a wɔyɛ asɔfoɔ no mu akuakuo ma wɔsomeeɛ no nie: Na Aaron mmammarima no yɛ Nadab, Abihu, Eleasa ne Itamar.
2 But Nadab and Abihu died before their father, and without children. And so Eleazar and Ithamar exercised the priestly office.
Nanso, Nadab ne Abihu wuiɛ a wɔnni mma ansa na wɔn agya rewu. Enti, ɛkaa Eleasa ne Itamar nko ara a na ɛsɛ sɛ wɔyɛ asɔfoɔ.
3 And David distributed them, that is, Zadok of the sons of Eleazar, and Ahimelech of the sons of Ithamar, according to their courses and ministry.
Mmoa a Sadok a na ɔyɛ Eleasa aseni ne Ahimelek a na ɔyɛ Itamar aseni no boaa no enti, Dawid kyekyɛɛ Aaron asefoɔ mu akuakuo sɛdeɛ wɔn dwumadie teɛ.
4 And there were found many more of the sons of Eleazar among the leading men, than of the sons of Ithamar. Therefore, he divided them so that there were, of the sons of Eleazar, sixteen leaders by their families, and of the sons of Ithamar eight by their families and houses.
Wɔkyɛɛ Itamar deɛ mu akuo nwɔtwe, ɛfiri sɛ, na Eleasa asefoɔ mu mmusua mpanimfoɔ no dɔɔso.
5 Then he divided among them, in both families, by lot. For there were leaders of the sanctuary and leaders of God, as much from the sons of Eleazar as from the sons of Ithamar.
Wɔnam ntontobɔ kronkron so, kyekyɛɛ dwumadie ahodoɔ nyinaa maa akuakuo no, sɛdeɛ ɛrenyɛ nhwɛanimsɛm biara. Ɛfiri sɛ, na mpanimfoɔ bebree a wɔfata sɛ wɔsom Onyankopɔn kronkronbea hɔ a wɔyɛ Eleasa ne Itamar asefoɔ no nso wɔ hɔ.
6 And the scribe Shemaiah, the son of Nethanel, a Levite, wrote these down before the king and the leaders, with Zadok, the priest, and Ahimelech, the son of Abiathar, and also the leaders of the priestly and Levitical families. And there was one house, which was preeminent over the others, that of Eleazar; and there was another house, which had the others under it, that of Ithamar.
Netanel babarima Semaia a na ɔyɛ Lewini no yɛɛ adwuma sɛ ɔtwerɛfoɔ. Ɔtwerɛɛ din ne nnwuma ahodoɔ wɔ ɔhene no ne ɔsɔfoɔ Sadok ne Abiatar babarima Ahimelek ne asɔfoɔ no ne Lewi mmusua no mpanimfoɔ anim. Eleasa ne Itamar asefoɔ bobɔɔ ntonto sɛdeɛ ɛdidi soɔ yi:

Ntonto a ɛdi ɛkan no bɔɔ Yehoiarib. Ntonto a ɛtɔ so mmienu no bɔɔ Yedaia.

17 the twenty-first to Jachin, the twenty-second to Gamul,
Ntonto a ɛtɔ so aduonu baako no bɔɔ Yakin. Ntonto a ɛtɔ so aduonu mmienu no bɔɔ Gamul.
18 the twenty-third to Delaiah, the twenty-fourth to Maaziah.
Ntonto a ɛtɔ so aduonu mmiɛnsa no bɔɔ Delaia. Ntonto a ɛtɔ so aduonu ɛnan no bɔɔ Maasia.
19 These were their courses according to their ministries, so that they would enter into the house of the Lord in accord with their practice, under the hand of Aaron, their father, just as the Lord, the God of Israel, had instructed.
Ekuo biara dii ne dwuma wɔ Awurade fie sɛdeɛ wɔn agya Aaron nam Awurade, Israel Onyankopɔn akwankyerɛ so hyehyɛ maa wɔn no.
20 Now of the sons of Levi who were remaining, there were Shubael, from the sons of Amram, and Jehdeiah, from the sons of Shubael.
Yeinom ne mmusua a aka a wɔyɛ Lewi asefoɔ no mpanimfoɔ: Amram asefoɔ ntuanoni ne Subael. Subael asefoɔ ntuanoni ne Yehdeia.
21 Also, there were Isshiah, the leader from the sons of Rehabiah,
Rehabia asefoɔ ntuanoni ne Yisia.
22 and truly Shelomoth, the son of Izhar, and Jahath, the son of Shelomoth,
Yishar asefoɔ ntuanoni ne Selomot. Selomot asefoɔ ntuanoni ne Yahat.
23 and his son, Jeriah the first, Amariah the second, Jahaziel the third, Jekameam the fourth.
Hebron asefoɔ ntuanofoɔ ne: Yeria; Amaria ne nʼabadiakyire, Yahasiel na ɔtɔ so mmiɛnsa na Yekameam tɔ so ɛnan.
24 The son of Uzziel was Micah. The son of Micah was Shamir.

25 The brother of Micah was Isshiah. And the son of Isshiah was Zechariah.

26 The sons of Merari were Mahli and Mushi. The son of Uzziah was Beno.
Merari asefoɔ ntuanofoɔ ne Mahli ne Musi. Yasia asefoɔ ntuanoni ne Beno.
27 Also, the son of Merari: Uzziah, and Shoham, and Zaccur, and Hebri.
Merari asefoɔ a wɔfiri Yasia mu no, ntuanofoɔ no ne: Beno, Soham, Sakur ne Ibri.
28 In addition, the son of Mahli was Eleazar, who had no children.
Mahli asefoɔ ntuanoni ne Eleasa a na ɔnni mmammarima no.
29 Truly, the son of Kish was Jerahmeel.
Kis asefoɔ ntuanoni ne Yerahmeel.
30 The sons of Mushi were Mahli, Eder, and Jerimoth. These were the sons of Levi according to the houses of their families.
Musi asefoɔ ntuanofoɔ ne Mahli, Eder ne Yerimot. Yeinom ne Lewi asefoɔ ne sɛdeɛ wɔn mmusua teɛ.
31 And they also cast lots concerning their brothers, the sons of Aaron, before David the king, and Zadok, and Ahimelech, and the leaders of the priestly and Levitical families, as much concerning the elder as the younger. The lot divided all things equitably.
Wɔnam ntonto kronkron a wɔbɔɔ wɔ wɔn so na wɔde wɔn nnwuma hyɛɛ wɔn nsa te sɛ Aaron asefoɔ deɛ no, a wɔanhwɛ mfeɛ a wɔadi ne wɔn diberɛ. Wɔdii dwuma no wɔ ɔhene Dawid, Sadok, Ahimelek, asɔfoɔ ne Lewifoɔ mmusua mpanimfoɔ no anim.
