Deuteronomy 10

1 At that time Jehovah said to me, Hew thee two tablets of stone like the first, and come up to me onto the mount, and make thee an ark of wood.

Saa bere no, Awurade ka kyerɛɛ me se, “Twa abo apon no abien te sɛ kan de no na foro bra me nkyɛn wɔ bepɔw no so. Afei, yɛ dua adaka a wobɛkora wɔ mu.

2 And I will write on the tablets the words that were on the first tablets which thou broke, and thou shall put them in the ark.

Mɛkyerɛw nsɛm a mekyerɛw guu abo apon abien a edi kan a wububuu mu no bi pɛpɛɛpɛ agu so. Na fa hyɛ adaka no mu.”

3 So I made an ark of acacia wood, and hewed two tablets of stone like the first, and went up onto the mount, having the two tablets in my hand.

Na mede dua ɔkanto yɛɛ adaka, sen abo apon abien sɛ kan de no, na meforoo bepɔw no a na mikura apon abien no.

4 And he wrote on the tablets according to the first writing, the ten commandments, which Jehovah spoke to you in the mount out of the midst of the fire in the day of the assembly, and Jehovah gave them to me.

Awurade kyerɛw nsɛm a wakyerɛw bi dedaw, Mmaransɛm Du, a ɔkaa ho asɛm kyerɛɛ mo fi ogya mu wɔ bepɔw no so wɔ mo nhyiamu ase no guu apon no so. Na Awurade de maa me.

5 And I turned and came down from the mount, and put the tablets in the ark which I had made. And they are there as Jehovah commanded me.

Na misan fii bepɔw no so na mede abo apon no bɛhyɛɛ adaka a mayɛ no mu sɛnea Awurade hyɛɛ me sɛ menyɛ no, na ɛwɔ hɔ besi nnɛ.

6 (And the sons of Israel journeyed from Beeroth Bene-jaakan to Moserah. There Aaron died, and there he was buried, and Eleazar his son ministered in the priest's office in his stead.

Na Israelfo tu fii Beerot-Bene-Yaakan mmura ho kɔɔ Mosera. Ɛhɔ na Aaron wu ma wosiee no. Aaron babarima Eleasar sii nʼanan mu dii sɔfo.

7 From there they journeyed to Gudgodah, and from Gudgodah to Jotbathah, a land of brooks of water.

Wofi hɔ tu kɔɔ Gudgod. Wofi Gudgod no, wɔkɔɔ Yotbata, asase a nsuten pii wɔ so.

8 At that time Jehovah set apart the tribe of Levi, to bear the ark of the covenant of Jehovah, to stand before Jehovah to minister to him, and to bless in his name, to this day.

Ɛhɔ na Awurade yii Lewifo abusuakuw sɛ wɔnsoa Awurade apam adaka no na wonnyina Awurade anim nsom no na wɔmfa ne din so nhyira, sɛnea wɔyɛ no nnɛ yi.

9 Therefore Levi has no portion nor inheritance with his brothers. Jehovah is his inheritance, according as Jehovah thy God spoke to him.)

Ɛno nti na Lewifo no nni agyapade wɔ wɔn mfɛfo Israelfo no mu no. Awurade no ankasa ne wɔn agyapade sɛnea Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn, ka kyerɛɛ wɔn no.

10 And I stayed on the mount as at the first time, forty days and forty nights, and Jehovah hearkened to me that time also: Jehovah would not destroy thee.

Na metenaa bepɔw no so wɔ Awurade anim adaduanan, awia ne anadwo sɛnea meyɛɛ kan no. Na Awurade tiee me bio. Na ɛnyɛ ne pɛ sɛ ɔbɛsɛe mo.

11 And Jehovah said to me, Arise, take thy journey before the people, and they shall go in and possess the land, which I swore to their fathers to give to them.

Awurade ka kyerɛɛ me se, “Sɔre na di nnipa no anim fa wɔn kɔ asase a mekaa ntam sɛ mede bɛma wɔn agyanom no so na wɔmfa no sɛ agyapade.”

12 And now, Israel, what does Jehovah thy God require of thee, but to fear Jehovah thy God, to walk in all his ways, and to love him, and to serve Jehovah thy God with all thy heart and with all thy soul,

Na afei, Israel, dɛn na Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn, hwehwɛ afi mo nkyɛn? Ɔhwehwɛ sɛ musuro no na moyɛ nʼapɛde, na mode mo koma ne mo kra nyinaa dɔ no na mosom no,

13 to keep the commandments of Jehovah, and his statutes, which I command thee this day for thy good?

na mudi Awurade ahyɛde ne ne mmara a mede rema mo nnɛ yi so, na asi mo yiye.

14 Behold, to Jehovah thy God belongs heaven and the heaven of heavens, the earth, with all that is in it.

Ɔsorosoro mu soro ne asase ne nea ɛwɔ mu nyinaa yɛ Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn no, de.

15 Only Jehovah had a delight in thy fathers to love them, and he chose their seed after them, even you above all peoples as at this day.

Nanso Awurade nyaa abadae maa mo agyanom na ɔdɔ wɔn, na ɔpaw mo a moyɛ wɔn asefo gyaa aman nyinaa sɛnea ɛte nnɛ yi.

16 Circumcise therefore the foreskin of your heart, and be no more stiff-necked.

Ɛno nti, monhohoro mo koma mu bɔne na munnyae asoɔden no.

17 For Jehovah your God, he is God of gods, and Lord of lords, the great God, the mighty, and the awesome, who regards not persons, nor takes reward.

Na Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn, yɛ ahene mu hene ne anyame mu nyame. Ɔyɛ Onyankopɔn kɛse, otumfo ne ɔnwonwani a ɔnkyea nʼaso na onnye adanmude nso.

18 He executes justice for the fatherless and widow, and loves the sojourner in giving him food and raiment.

Ɔko ma nyisaa ne akunafo, na ɔdɔ ahɔho a wɔte mo mu. Ɔma wɔn aduan ne ntama.

19 Love ye therefore the sojourner, for ye were sojourners in the land of Egypt.

Mo nso, ɛsɛ sɛ modɔ ahɔho, efisɛ bere bi na mo ankasa nso yɛ ahɔho wɔ Misraim asase so.

20 Thou shall fear Jehovah thy God. Him thou shall serve, and to him thou shall cling, and by his name thou shall swear.

Munsuro Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn, na mosom no. Moka mo ho mmata ne ho, na mo ntam a moka nyɛ ne din nko ara.

21 He is thy praise, and he is thy God, who has done for thee these great and awesome things, which thine eyes have seen.

Ɔyɛ mo Nyankopɔn a ɛsɛ sɛ mokamfo no. Ɔno na wayɛ anwonwade akɛse a mo nyinaa ahu bi.

22 Thy fathers went down into Egypt, in souls, seventy. And now Jehovah thy God has made thee as the stars of heaven for multitude.

Na mo agyanom a wɔkɔɔ Misraim no nyinaa dodow yɛ aduɔson. Nanso afei, Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn no ama mo ase adɔ te sɛ soro nsoromma.
