25 Ɛberɛ-ano-berɛ-ano, na wɔn abusuafoɔ a wɔwɔ nkuraaseɛ no bɛboa wɔn wɔ wɔn nnanson nnanson dwumadie mu.
Labafowabo ababesemizini yabo babefanele beze okwensuku eziyisikhombisa izikhathi ngezikhathi kanye labo.
26 Saa apono ano ahwɛfoɔ mpanimfoɔ baanan a na wɔyɛ Lewifoɔ no, na wɔn adwuma no yɛ deɛ ɛkura asodie kɛseɛ, ɛfiri sɛ, wɔn na na wɔhwɛ adan ne sikakoradan a ɛwɔ Onyankopɔn fie hɔ no so.

29 Afoforɔ nso hwɛ nneɛma a wɔde asiesie hɔ, nneɛma a ɛwɔ kronkronbea hɔ, nneɛma a wɔde brɛ wɔn, sɛ ebia, asikyiresiam a wɔayam no muhumuhu, nsã, ngo, nnuhwam ne kurobo ahodoɔ so.
Labanye babo babemiswe phezu kwezitsha, laphezu kwazo zonke izitsha ezingcwele, laphezu kwempuphu ecolekileyo lewayini lamafutha lempepha lamakha.
30 Nanso, na asɔfoɔ no na wɔdi nnuhwam no ne kurobo no ho dwuma.
Abanye emadodaneni abapristi babehlanganisa-ke amafutha amakha.
31 Matitia a ɔyɛ Lewini, na ɔyɛ Korani Salum abakan no na na ɔto burodo a wɔde bɔ afɔdeɛ no.
