1 Chronicles 27

1 Now the sons of Israel, according to their number, the leaders of the families, the tribunes, and the centurions, and the chiefs, who were ministering to the king by their companies, entering and departing in each month of the year as they were in charge, were twenty-four thousand.

Israelfo akuw ahorow no ni—mmusua mpanyimfo, asahene ne asraafo mpanyimfo a na wɔhwɛ asraafo akuw ahorow so de som ɔhene, a kuw biara kɔ adwuma ɔsram baako wɔ afe mu. Na dɔm a wɔwɔ kuw biara mu nso dodow yɛ mpem aduonu anan. Wɔn din na edidi so yi.

2 Jashobeam, the son of Zabdiel, was in charge of the first company in the first month; and under him were twenty-four thousand.

Sabdiel babarima Yasobeam na na ɔyɛ kuw a edi kan no sahene, a na wɔkɔ adwuma ɔsram a edi kan wɔ afe no mu. Na ne kuw no asraafodɔm dodow yɛ mpem aduonu anan.

3 He was from the sons of Perez, and he was the leader of all the other leaders in the army, in the first month.

Na ɔyɛ Peres aseni a na ɔhwɛ asraafo mpanyimfo no nyinaa so ɔsram a edi kan no mu.

4 The company of the second month had Dodai, an Ahohite; and after him there was another, named Mikloth, who ruled over a portion of the army of the twenty-four thousand.

Dodai a na ɔyɛ Ahoa aseni na na ɔyɛ kuw a ɛto so abien a na wɔkɔ adwuma ɔsram a ɛto so abien mu no so sahene. Na ne kuw no asraafodɔm dodow yɛ mpem aduonu anan, a na Miklot yɛ nʼabediakyiri.

5 Also, the commander of the third company, in the third month, was Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada the priest; and in his division there were twenty-four thousand.

Ɔsɔfo Yehoiada babarima Benaia na na ɔyɛ kuw a ɛto so abiɛsa a na wɔkɔ adwuma ɔsram a ɛto so abiɛsa mu no so sahene. Na ne kuw no asraafodɔm dodow yɛ mpem aduonu anan.

6 The same is the Benaiah who was strongest among the thirty, and was above the thirty. But his son, Ammizabad, was in charge of his company.

Saa Benaia yi na na ɔhwɛ Dawid asraafo akunini kuw, a na wɔfrɛ wɔn Akofo Akɛse Aduasa no so. Ne babarima Amisabad na na ɔyɛ nʼabediakyiri.

7 The fourth, for the fourth month, was Asahel, the brother of Joab, and his son Zebadiah after him; and in his company there were twenty-four thousand.

Yoab nuabarima Asahel na na ɔyɛ kuw a ɛto so anan, a na wɔkɔ adwuma ɔsram a ɛto so anan mu no so sahene. Na ne kuw no asraafodɔm dodow yɛ mpem aduonu anan. Asahel babarima Sebadia na odii nʼade.

8 The fifth leader, for the fifth month, was Shamhuth, an Izrahite; and in his company there were twenty-four thousand.

Samhut a ɔyɛ Yisrahini na na ɔyɛ kuw a ɛto so anum, a na wɔkɔ adwuma ɔsram a ɛto so anum mu no so sahene. Na ne kuw no asraafodɔm dodow yɛ mpem aduonu anan.

9 The sixth, for the sixth month, was Ira, the son of Ikkesh, a Tekoite; and in his company there were twenty-four thousand.

Ikes babarima Ira a ofi Tekoa no na na ɔyɛ kuw a ɛto so asia, a na wɔkɔ adwuma ɔsram a ɛto so asia mu no sahene. Na ne kuw no asraafodɔm dodow yɛ mpem aduonu anan.

10 The seventh, for the seventh month, was Helez, a Pelonite from the sons of Ephraim; and in his company there were twenty-four thousand.

Heles a na ɔyɛ Efraim aseni a ofi Pelon no na na ɔyɛ kuw a ɛto so ason, a na wɔkɔ adwuma ɔsram a ɛto so ason mu no so sahene. Na ne kuw no asraafodɔm dodow yɛ mpem aduonu anan.

11 The eighth, for the eighth month, was Sibbecai, a Hushathite from the stock of the Zerahites; and in his company there were twenty-four thousand.

Sibekai a na ɔyɛ Sera aseni a ofi Husa no na na ɔyɛ kuw a ɛto so awotwe, a na wɔkɔ adwuma ɔsram a ɛto so awotwe mu no so sahene. Na ne kuw no asraafodɔm dodow yɛ mpem aduonu anan.

12 The ninth, for the ninth month, was Abiezer, an Anathothite from the sons of Benjamin; and in his company there were twenty-four thousand.

Abieser a na ofi Anatot a ɛda Benyamin asase so no na na ɔyɛ kuw a ɛto so akron, a na wɔkɔ adwuma ɔsram a ɛto so akron mu no so sahene. Na ne kuw no asraafodɔm dodow yɛ mpem aduonu anan.

13 The tenth, for the tenth month, was Maharai, and he was a Netophathite from the stock of the Zerahites; and in his company there were twenty-four thousand.

Maharai a ɔyɛ Serah aseni a ofi Netofa no na na ɔyɛ kuw a ɛto so du, a na wɔkɔ adwuma ɔsram a ɛto so du mu no so sahene. Na ne kuw no asraafodɔm dodow yɛ mpem aduonu anan.

14 The eleventh, for the eleventh month, was Benaiah, a Pirathonite from the sons of Ephraim; and in his company there were twenty-four thousand.

Benaia a ofi Piraton a ɛwɔ Efraim no na na ɔyɛ kuw a ɛto so dubaako, a na wɔkɔ adwuma ɔsram a ɛto so dubaako mu no so sahene. Na ne kuw no asraafodɔm dodow yɛ mpem aduonu anan.

15 The twelfth, for the twelfth month, was Heldai, a Netophathite from the stock of Othniel; and in his company there were twenty-four thousand.

Heldai a ɔyɛ Otniel a ofi Netofa aseni no na na ɔyɛ kuw a ɛto so dumien, a na wɔkɔ adwuma ɔsram a ɛto so dumien mu no so sahene. Na ne kuw no asraafodɔm dodow yɛ mpem aduonu anan.

16 Now those who were first over the tribes of Israel were these: over the Reubenites, Eliezer, the son of Zichri, was the ruler; over the Simeonites, Shephatiah, the son of Maacah, was the ruler;

Mmusuakuw no ne wɔn ntuanofo ni: Ruben abusuakuw: Sikri babarima Elieser; Simeon abusuakuw: Maaka babarima Sefatia;

17 over the Levites, Hashabiah, the son of Kemuel; over the Aaronites, Zadok;

Lewi abusuakuw: Kemuel babarima Hasabia; Aaron (asɔfo no) abusuakuw: Sadok;

18 over Judah, Elihu, the brother of David; over Issachar, Omri, the son of Michael;

Yuda abusuakuw: Dawid nuabarima Elihu; Isakar abusuakuw: Mikael babarima Omri;

19 over the Zebulunites, Ishmaiah, the son of Obadiah; over the Naphtalites, Jeremoth, the son of Azriel;

Sebulon abusuakuw: Obadia babarima Yismaia; Naftali abusuakuw: Asriel babarima Yerimot;

20 over the sons of Ephraim, Hoshea, the son of Azaziah; over the one half tribe of Manasseh, Joel, the son of Pedaiah;

Efraim abusuakuw: Asasia babarima Hosea; Manase (atɔe fam) abusuakuw: Pedaia babarima Yoel;

21 and over the one half tribe of Manasseh in Gilead, Iddo, the son of Zechariah; then over Benjamin, Jaasiel, the son of Abner;

Manase (apuei fam) abusuakuw Sakaria babarima Ido; Benyamin abusuakuw: Abner babarima Yaasiel;

22 yet truly, Azarel, the son of Jeroham, was over Dan. These were the leaders of the sons of Israel.

Dan abusuakuw: Yeroham babarima Asarel. Eyinom ne Israel mmusuakuw no ne wɔn ntuanofo.

23 But David was not willing to number them from twenty years old and under. For the Lord had said that he would multiply Israel like the stars of heaven.

Bere a Dawid ma wɔkan nnipa no, wɔankan wɔn a wonnii mfe aduonu, efisɛ na Awurade ahyɛ bɔ sɛ ɔbɛma Israelfo no adɔɔso sɛ ɔsoro nsoromma.

24 Joab, the son of Zeruiah, had begun to number, but he did not finish. For because of this, wrath had fallen upon Israel. And therefore the number of those who had been counted was not related in the official records of king David.

Yoab na ofii nnipakan no ase, nanso wanwie, efisɛ Onyankopɔn bo fuw Israel. Wɔankyerɛw nnipa no nyinaa dodow angu Ɔhene Dawid nkrataa mu.

25 Now over the storerooms of the king was Azmaveth, the son of Adiel. But Jonathan, the son of Uzziah, was over those storerooms that were in the cities, and in the villages, and in the towers.

Adiel babarima Asmawet na na ɔhwɛ ahemfi sikakorabea so. Usia babarima Yonatan no na na ɔhwɛ ɔmantam no sikakorabea a ɛwowɔ nkurow, nkuraa ne aban a ɛwɔ Israel nyinaa so.

26 And over the farmlands and the farmers, those who worked the ground, was Ezri, the son of Chelub.

Kelub babarima Esri na na ɔhwɛ apaafo a na wɔdɔw ɔhene mfuw so.

27 And over the cultivators of vineyards was Shimei, a Ramathite; then over the wine cellars was Zabdi, an Aphonite.

Simei a na ofi Rama na na ɔhwɛ ɔhene bobe mfuw so. Sabdi a ofi Sifim na na ɔhwɛ aba a wɔde yɛ nsa ne nsa a wɔayɛ so.

28 Now over the olive groves and the fig groves, which were in the plains, was Baal-hanan, a Gederite; and over the oil cellars was Joash.

Baal-Hanan a ofi Geder no na na ɔhwɛ ɔhene ngonnua ne ankye nnua a na ɛwɔ Yuda bepɔw ase no so. Yoas na na ɔhwɛ ma wɔyɛ ngo.

29 Now over the herds that were pastured in Sharon, Shitrai, a Sharonite, was in the first place; and over the oxen in the valleys, there was Shaphat, the son of Adlai.

Sitrai a ofi Saron na na ɔhwɛ anantwi a na wɔwɔ Saron sare so no so. Adlai babarima Safat na na ɔhwɛ anantwi a wɔwɔ abon ahorow mu no so.

30 Truly, over the camels was Obil, an Ishmaelite; and over the donkeys was Jehdeiah, a Meronothite.

Ismaelni Obil na na ɔhwɛ yoma so. Yehdia a ofi Meronot na na ɔhwɛ mfurum so.

31 And over the sheep was Jaziz, a Hagarene. All these were leaders over the substance of king David.

Yasis a ofi Hagar na na ɔhwɛ ɔhene nguan so. Saa mpanyimfo yi nyinaa na na wɔhwɛ ɔhene Dawid agyapade so.

32 Now Jonathan, the uncle of David, was a counselor, a prudent and scholarly man; he and Jehiel, the son of Hachmoni, were with the sons of the king.

Yonatan a na ɔyɛ Dawid wɔfa no yɛɛ ɔfotufo nyansafo maa ɔhene. Na ɔyɛ ɔkyerɛwfo a ɔwɔ nhumu. Na Hakmoni babarima Yehiel na na ɔkyerɛ ɔhene mmabarima ade.

33 Now Ahithophel was the counselor of the king; and Hushai, the Archite, was the king’s friend.

Ahitofel na na ɔyɛ ɔhene fotufo. Na Husai a ofi Arki yɛ ɔhene adamfo.

34 After Ahithophel was Jehoiada, the son of Benaiah, and Abiathar. But the leader of the army of the king was Joab.

Benaia babarima Yehoiada na odii Ahitofel ade na Abiatar bɛtoaa adedi no so. Yoab na na ɔyɛ Israel asraafodɔm no so sahene.
