Numbers 3
1 These also were the generations of Aaron and Moses, in the day that the Lord spake with Moses in mount Sinai.
Ɛberɛ a Awurade kasa kyerɛɛ Mose wɔ Sinai Bepɔ so no.
2 So these are the names of the sonnes of Aaron, Nadab the first borne, and Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.
Na yeinom ne Aaron ne Mose abusua. Aaron mmammarima edin na ɛdidi soɔ yi: Nadab, nʼabakan, Abihu, Eleasa ne Itamar.
3 These are the names of the sonnes of Aaron the anoynted Priests, whom Moses did consecrate to minister in the Priests office.
Yeinom ne Aaron mma a wɔasra wɔn ngo na wɔayi wɔn asi hɔ sɛ asɔfoɔ.
4 And Nadab and Abihu died before the Lord, when they offred strange fire before the Lord in the wildernesse of Sinai, and had no children: but Eleazar and Ithamar serued in ye Priestes office in the sight of Aaron their father.
Nadab ne Abihu deɛ, wɔwuwuu wɔ Awurade anim ɛberɛ a wɔhyee afɔrebɔdeɛ wɔ ogya a ɛmfata so wɔ Sinai ɛserɛ so. Na wɔnni mma enti, Eleasa ne Itamar nko ara na wɔsomm sɛ asɔfoɔ, ɛberɛ a wɔn agya Aaron te ase.
5 Then the Lord spake vnto Moses, saying,
Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose sɛ:
6 Bring the tribe of Leui, and set the before Aaron the Priest that they may serue him,
“Frɛ Lewifoɔ no, na fa wɔn ma ɔsɔfoɔ Aaron sɛ nʼaboafoɔ.
7 And take the charge with him, euen the charge of the whole Congregation before the Tabernacle of the Congregation to doe the seruice of the Tabernacle.
Wɔbɛyɛ adwuma wɔ Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no mu ama ɔsɔfoɔ Aaron ne nnipa no nyinaa.
8 They shall also keepe all the instruments of the Tabernacle of the Congregation, and haue the charge of the children of Israel to doe the seruice of the Tabernacle.
Afei, wɔbɛhwɛ nneɛma a wɔde siesie Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan mu no so, de asi Israelfoɔ no no anan mu ayɛ asodie a wɔyɛ wɔ Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no mu.
9 And thou shalt giue the Leuites vnto Aaron and to his sonnes: for they are giuen him freely from among the children of Israel.
Fa Lewifoɔ no ma Aaron ne ne mmammarima; wɔn ne Israelfoɔ a wɔde wɔn bɛma no korakora.
10 And thou shalt appoint Aaron and his sonnes to execute their Priestes office: and the stranger that commeth neere, shalbe slayne.
Ma Aaron ne ne mmammarima no nsom sɛ asɔfoɔ; onipa foforɔ biara a ɔbɛbɛne kronkronbea hɔ no, ɛsɛ sɛ wɔkum no.”
11 Also the Lord spake vnto Moses, saying,
Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose sɛ,
12 Beholde, I haue euen taken the Leuites from among the childre of Israel: for al the first borne that openeth the matrice among the children of Israel, and the Leuites shalbe mine,
“Mayi Lewifoɔ no afiri Israelfoɔ no mu de wɔn asi Israel babaa biara abakan a ɔyɛ ɔbarima anan mu. Lewifoɔ no yɛ me dea,
13 Because all the first borne are mine: for the same day, that I smote all the first borne in the land of Egypt, I sanctified vnto me all the first borne in Israel, both man and beast: mine they shalbe: I am the Lord.
ɛfiri sɛ abakan biara wɔ me. Ɛberɛ a mekunkum mmakan wɔ Misraim no, megyaa Israel mmakan, sɛ wɔyɛ nnipa anaa mmoa. Wɔyɛ me dea. Mene Awurade.”
14 Moreouer, the Lord spake vnto Moses in the wildernesse of Sinai, saying,
Afei, Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose wɔ Sinai ɛserɛ so sɛ,
15 Nomber the children of Leui after the houses of their fathers, in their families: euery male from a moneth olde and aboue shalt thou nomber.
“Kan Lewifoɔ no wɔ wɔn mmusua ne afie mu. Kan ɔbarima biara firi deɛ wadi bosome baako so.”
16 Then Moses nombred them according to the word of the Lord, as he was commanded.
Enti Mose kanee wɔn sɛdeɛ Awurade hyɛɛ no no.
17 And these are the sonnes of Leui by their names, Gershon, and Kohath, and Merari.

21 Of Gershon came the familie of the Libnites, and the familie of the Shimeites: these are the families of the Gershonites.

22 The summe whereof (after the nomber of all the males from a moneth olde and aboue) was counted seuen thousand and fiue hundreth.
Na Gersonfoɔ mmarima a wɔadi bosome ne deɛ ɛboro saa a wɔfiri Gerson mmusua mu no dodoɔ yɛ mpem ahanson ne ahanum.
23 The families of the Gershonites shall pitch behind the Tabernacle westward.

24 The captaine and auncient of the house of the Gershonites shalbe Eliasaph the sonne of Lael.

25 And the charge of the sonnes of Gershon in the Tabernacle of the Congregation shall be the Tabernacle, and the pauilion, the couering thereof, and the vaile of the dore of the Tabernacle of the Congregation,

26 And the hanging of the court, and the vaile of the doore of the court, which is neere the Tabernacle, and neere ye Altar round about, and the cordes of it for all the seruice thereof.

28 The nomber of all the males from a moneth olde and aboue was eight thousand and sixe hundreth, hauing the charge of the Sanctuarie.
Na Kehat mmusua no mu mmarima a wɔadi bosome ne deɛ ɛboro saa dodoɔ yɛ mpem aha nwɔtwe ne ahansia. Wɔn na na wɔhwɛ kronkronbea mu hɔ so.
29 The families of the sonnes of Kohath shall pitch on the Southside of the Tabernacle.
Wɔmaa wɔn atenaeɛ wɔ Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no anafoɔ fam.
30 The captaine and auncient of the house, and families of the Kohathites shall be Elizaphan the sonne of Vzziel:
Na Kohatfoɔ ntuanoni no ne Usiel babarima Elisafan.
31 And their charge shalbe the Arke, and the Table, and the Candlesticke, and the altars, and the instruments of the Sanctuarie that they minister with, and the vaile, and all that serueth thereto.
Saa mmusua ɛnan yi na na wɔhwɛ apam adaka, ɛpono, kaneadua, afɔrebukyia hodoɔ, ne deɛ ɛkeka ho a na wɔde di dwuma wɔ kronkronbea hɔ, mfimfini ntwamutam ne nneɛma a wɔde di dwuma ahodoɔ wɔ hɔ nyinaa no so.
32 And Eleazar the sonne of Aaron the Priest shalbe chiefe captaine of the Leuites, hauing the ouersight of them that haue the charge of the Sanctuarie.
Aaron babarima ɔsɔfoɔ Eleasa no na na ɔyɛ ɔpanin wɔ Lewifoɔ no nyinaa so. Ɔyɛɛ no panin wɔ asɔfoɔ a wɔhwɛ kronkronbea no so.
33 Of Merari came the familie of the Mahlites, and the familie of the Mushites: these are the families of Merari.
Na Merari asefoɔ no yɛ mmusua a wɔfiri Mahli ne Musi ase.
34 And the summe of them, according to the nomber of all the males, from a moneth olde and aboue was sixe thousand and two hundreth.

35 The captaine and the ancient of the house of the families of Merari shalbe Zuriel the sonne of Abihail: they shall pitche on the Northside of the Tabernacle.
Merari abusua no ntuanoni ne Abihail babarima Suriel, na wɔtenaa Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no atifi fam.

37 With the pillars of the court round about, with their sockets, and their pins and their coardes.
Afei, mpunan a ɛwɔ adihɔ hɔ nyinaa ne ne nsisisoɔ, mpɛɛwa, ne ntampehoma nyinaa, wɔbɛhwɛ so.
38 Also on the forefront of the Tabernacle toward the East, before the Tabernacle, I say, of the Congregation Eastwarde shall Moses and Aaron and his sonnes pitch, hauing the charge of the Sanctuarie, and the charge of the children of Israel: but the stranger that commeth neere, shall be slayne.
Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no apueeɛ fam, deɛ owia pue firi no, wɔgya maa Mose ne Aaron ne ne mmammarima sɛ wɔnsisi wɔn ntomadan wɔ hɔ. Saa nnipa yi na na wɔsi Israelfoɔ no anan mu di Ahyiaeɛ Ntomadan no ho dwuma nyinaa. Onipa foforɔ biara a ɔbɛbɛn kronkronbea hɔ no, wɔbɛkum no.
39 The wholesumme of ye Leuites, which Moses and Aaron nombred at the commandement of the Lord throughout their families, euen al the males from a moneth olde and aboue, was two and twentie thousand.
Lewifoɔ a Awurade hyɛɛ Mose ne Aaron sɛ wɔnkan wɔn sɛdeɛ wɔn mmusua teɛ a ɔbarima biara a wɔadi bosome ne deɛ ɛboro saa ka ho no dodoɔ yɛ mpem aduonu mmienu.
40 And the Lord said vnto Moses, Nomber all the first borne that are Males among the children of Israel, from a moneth old and aboue, and take the nomber of their names.
Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose sɛ, “Kan Israelfoɔ mmakan a wɔyɛ mmarima na wɔadi bosome ne deɛ ɛboro saa no, na twerɛ wɔn edin.
41 And thou shalt take ye Leuites to me for all the first borne of the children of Israel (I am the Lord) and the cattell of the Leuites for all the first borne of the cattell of the children of Israel.
Lewifoɔ no bɛyɛ me dea. Ma wɔnsi Israelfoɔ mmakan nyinaa anan mu, na Lewifoɔ nyɛmmoa mmakan nsi Israelfoɔ nyɛmmoa mmakan anan mu. Mene Awurade.”
42 And Moses nombred, as the Lord commanded him, all the first borne of the children of Israel.
Enti Mose kanee Israelfoɔ mmakan nyinaa sɛdeɛ Awurade hyɛɛ no no.
43 And all the first borne males rehearsed by name (from a moneth olde and aboue) according to their nomber were two and twentie thousand, two hundreth seuentie and three.
Mmammarima mmakan a wɔadi bosome ne deɛ ɛboro saa no a ɔtwerɛɛ wɔn edin no ano si mpem aduonu mmienu ahanu ne aduɔson mmiɛnsa.
44 And the Lord spake vnto Moses, saying,
Afei, Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose sɛ,
45 Take the Leuites for all the first borne of the children of Israel, and the cattell of the Leuites for their cattel, and the Leuites shalbe mine, (I am the Lord)
“Ma Lewifoɔ nsi Israelfoɔ mmakan ananmu. Na Lewifoɔ nyɛmmoa mmakan nso nsi Israelfoɔ nyɛmmoa mmakan ananmu. Lewifoɔ yɛ me dea. Mene Awurade.
46 And for the redeeming of the two hundreth seuentie and three, (which are moe then the Leuites) of the first borne of the children of of Israel,
Ansa na mobɛgye Israelfoɔ mmakan ahanu aduɔson mmiɛnsa no a wɔboro Lewifoɔ no dodoɔ so no,
47 Thou shalt also take fiue shekels for euery person: after the weight of the Sanctuarie shalt thou take it: ye shekel conteineth twenty gerahs.
momma wɔntua tiadeɛ, sɛdeɛ hyiadan mu nnwetɛbena teɛ, a emu duru yɛ gram aduonum nson.
48 And thou shalt giue the money, wherwith the odde nomber of them is redeemed, vnto Aaron and to his sonnes.
Fa tiadeɛ sika no ma Aaron ne ne mma.”
49 Thus Moses tooke the redemption of the that were redeemed, being more then the Leuites:
Enti Mose gyegyee Israelfoɔ ahanu aduɔson mmiɛnsa a na wɔboro Lewifoɔ no dodoɔ so no tiadeɛ.
50 Of the first borne of the children of Israel tooke he the mony: eue a thousand three hundreth three score and fiue shekels after the shekel of the Sanctuarie.
Sika a wɔgyegyeeɛ no nyinaa ano sii dwetɛ kilogram dunum ne fa.
51 And Moses gaue the money of them that were redeemed, vnto Aaron and to his sonnes according to the word of the Lord, as the Lord had commanded Moses.
Na Mose de maa Aaron ne ne mmammarima sɛdeɛ Awurade hyɛɛ no no.
