Nehemiah 11
1 Now the leaders of the people lived in Jerusalem. Yet truly, the remainder of the people cast lots, so that they might choose one part in ten who were to live in Jerusalem, the holy city, and nine parts for the other cities.
Afei, saa ɛberɛ yi, na ɔmanfoɔ no ntuanofoɔ tete Yerusalem, kuropɔn kronkron no mu. Wɔbɔɔ ntonto kronkron wɔ nnipa no a na wɔtete Yuda ne Benyamin nkuro bi no so, yii mu nkyɛmu edu mu baako, ma wɔn nso kɔtenaa hɔ. Na nkaeɛ no deɛ, wɔtenaa deɛ wɔte hɔ ara.
2 Then the people blessed all the men who freely offered themselves to live in Jerusalem.
Na ɔmanfoɔ no kamfoo obiara a ɔfiri ne pɛ mu sane kɔtenaa Yerusalem no.
3 And so these are the leaders of the province, who were living in Jerusalem, and in the cities of Judah. Now each one lived in his possession, in their cities: Israel, the priests, the Levites, the temple servants, and the sons of the servants of Solomon.
Amantam mu mpanimfoɔ a wɔbaa Yerusalem no din na wɔatwerɛ wɔ ha yi. Ɔmanfoɔ no mu fa kɛseɛ a wɔyɛ asɔfoɔ, Lewifoɔ, Asɔredan mu asomfoɔ ne Salomo asomfoɔ asefoɔ no kɔɔ so tenaa wɔn ankasa afie mu wɔ Yuda nkuro ahodoɔ so,
4 And in Jerusalem, there lived some of the sons of Judah, and some of the sons of Benjamin: of the sons of Judah, Athaiah, the son of Aziam, the son of Zechariah, the son of Amariah, the son of Shephatiah, the son of Mahalalel, of the sons of Perez;
nanso, nnipa no bi a wɔfiri Yuda ne Benyamin mu no sane kɔtenaa Yerusalem. Yuda abusuakuo mu nnipa no nie: Usia babarima Ataia, Sakaria babarima, Amaria babarima, Sefatia babarima, Mahalalel babarima a ɔfiri Peres abusua mu;

6 All these sons of Perez lived in Jerusalem, four hundred sixty-eight strong men.
Afei, na Peres asefoɔ ahanan ne aduosia nwɔtwe a wɔdi mu no na na wɔte Yerusalem.
7 Now these are the sons of Benjamin: Sallu, the son of Meshullam, the son of Joed, the son of Pedaiah, the son of Kolaiah, the son of Maaseiah, the son of Ithiel, the son of Jeshaiah;
Benyamin abusuakuo no mu nnipa nie: Mesulam babarima Salu, Yoed babarima, Pedaia babarima, Kolaia babarima, Maaseia babarima, Itiel babarima ne Yesaia babarima;
8 and after him Gabbai, Sallai. These were nine hundred twenty-eight.
na nʼakyiri no na Gabai ne Salai, ne abusuafoɔ ahankron aduonu nwɔtwe ba.
9 And Joel, the son of Zichri, was their foremost leader. And Judah, the son of Hassenuah, was second over the city.
Wɔn panin pa ara no ne Sikri babarima Yoɛl na Hasenua, a ɔyɛ kuropɔn no sohwɛfoɔ abadiakyire babarima Yuda boaa no.
10 And from the priests, there were Jedaiah, the son of Joiarib, Jachin,

12 and their brothers, who were doing the works of the temple: eight hundred twenty-two. And Adaiah, the son of Jeroham, the son of Pelaliah, the son of Amzi, the son of Zachariah, the son of Pashhur, the son of Malchijah,
ne wɔn mfɛfoɔ aha nwɔtwe aduonu mmienu a, na wɔyɛ adwuma wɔ Asɔredan no mu, ne Yeroham babarima Adaia, Pelalia babarima, Amsi babarima, Sakaria babarima, Pashur babarima, Malkia babarima
13 and his brothers, the leaders among the fathers: two hundred forty-two. And Amassai, the son of Azarel, the son of Ahzai, the son of Meshillemoth, the son of Immer,

14 and their brothers, who were very powerful: one hundred twenty-eight. And their foremost leader was Zabdiel, the son of the powerful.
ne ne mfɛfoɔ atitire ɔha aduonu nwɔtwe. Wɔn panin pa ara a ɔtua wɔn ano no ne Hagedolim babarima Sabdiel.
15 And from the Levites, there were Shemaiah, the son of Hasshub, the son of Azrikam, the son of Hashabiah, the son of Bunni,
Lewifoɔ no nso nie: Hasub babarima Semaia, Asrikam babarima, Hasabia babarima, Buni babarima;
16 and Shabbethai and Jozabad, who were over all the works which were exterior to the house of God, from among the leaders of the Levites.
ne Sabetai ne Yosabad a na wɔhwɛ Onyankopɔn Asɔredan no mfikyire dwumadie so;
17 And Mattaniah, the son of Mica, the son of Zabdi, the son of Asaph, was the leader of praise and confession in prayer, with Bakbukiah, second among his brothers, and Abda, the son of Shammua, the son of Galal, the son of Jeduthun.

18 All the Levites in the holy city were two hundred eighty-four.
Ne nyinaa mu, na Lewifoɔ ahanu aduɔwɔtwe ɛnan na na wɔwɔ kuropɔn kronkron no mu.
19 And the gatekeepers, Akkub, Talmon, and their brothers, who guarded the doorways, were one hundred seventy-two.
Aponoanohwɛfoɔ no nie: Akub, Talmon ne wɔn mfɛfoɔ ɔha aduɔson mmienu a na wɔwɛn wɔ apono no ano.
20 And the remainder of Israel, the priests and the Levites, were in all the cities of Judah, each one in his own possession.
Asɔfoɔ a aka no, Lewifoɔ ne Israelfoɔ nkaeɛ no tenatenaa Yudaman mu baabiara a wɔn agyapadeɛ wɔ.
21 And the temple servants were living at Ophel, with Ziha and Gishpa, of the temple servants.
Nanso, Asɔredan mu asomfoɔ no a na wɔn ntuanofoɔ yɛ Siha ne Gispa no deɛ, wɔn nyinaa kɔtenaa Ofel kokoɔ so.
22 And the director of the Levites in Jerusalem was Uzzi, the son of Bani, the son of Hashabiah, the son of Mattaniah, the son of Mica. The singing men in the ministry of the house of God were from the sons of Asaph.
Na ɔpanin pa ara a ɔtua Lewifoɔ a wɔwɔ Yerusalem ano no ne Bani babarima Usi, Hasabia babarima, Matania babarima, Mika babarima a ɔyɛ Asaf aseni, a na nʼabusuafoɔ somm sɛ nnwomtofoɔ wɔ Onyankopɔn asɔredan mu no.
23 In fact, there was a precept of the king about them, and an order among the singing men, throughout each day.
Na wɔhyɛ ɔhene mmara a ɛkyerɛ deɛ ɛsɛ sɛ wɔyɛ da biara no ase.
24 And Pethahiah, the son of Meshezabel, from the sons of Zerah, the son of Judah, was at the hand of the king concerning every word of the people,
Mesesabel babarima Petahia a ɔyɛ Yuda babarima Serah aseni no yɛ ɔhene ananmusini wɔ ɔman no amammuo mu.
25 and in the houses throughout all their regions. Some of the sons of Judah lived at Kiriatharba and in its daughter villages, and at Dibon and in its daughter villages, and at Jekabzeel and in its vicinity,
Yudafoɔ no bi tenaa Kiriat-Arba ne ne nkuraaseɛ, Dibon ne ne nkuraaseɛ ne Yekabseel ne ne nkuraaseɛ.
26 and at Jeshua, and at Moladah, and at Bethpelet,

31 But the sons of Benjamin lived from Geba, at Michmash, and Aija, and Bethel and in its daughter villages,

36 And some of the Levites were apportioned with Judah and Benjamin.
Wɔmaa Lewifoɔ a na wɔtete Yuda no bi kɔkaa Benyamin abusuakuo no ho, ne wɔn tenaeɛ.
