Deuteronomy 27
1 Then Moses and the elders of Israel commanded the people: “Keep all the commandments I am giving you today.
Mose ne Israel mpanyimfo hyɛɛ ɔmanfo no se, “Munni mmara a mede rema mo nnɛ yi nyinaa so.
2 And on the day you cross the Jordan into the land that the LORD your God is giving you, set up large stones and coat them with plaster.
Sɛ mutwa Yordan kodu asase a Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn no, de rema mo no so a, monhyehyɛ abo akɛse na momfa akaadoo nsra ho.
3 Write on them all the words of this law when you have crossed over to enter the land that the LORD your God is giving you, a land flowing with milk and honey, just as the LORD, the God of your fathers, has promised you.
Sɛ mutwa Yordan kɔ asase a Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn no, de rema mo no so, asase a ɛwo ne nufusu resen so no so a, monkyerɛw mmara no nyinaa ngu so sɛnea Awurade, mo agyanom Nyankopɔn, hyɛɛ mo bɔ no.
4 And when you have crossed the Jordan, you are to set up these stones on Mount Ebal, as I am commanding you today, and you are to coat them with plaster.
Na sɛ mutwa Yordan a, monhyehyɛ abo yi wɔ Ebal bepɔw so sɛnea merehyɛ mo nnɛ yi na momfa akaadoo nsra ho.
5 Moreover, you are to build there an altar to the LORD your God, an altar of stones. You must not use any iron tool on them.
Munsi afɔremuka, abo afɔremuka wɔ hɔ mma Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn no. Mommfa dade biribiara nka.
6 You shall build the altar of the LORD your God with uncut stones and offer upon it burnt offerings to the LORD your God.
Momfa abo amuamu nsi Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn no, afɔremuka no na mommɔ ɔhyew afɔre wɔ so mma Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn no.
7 There you are to sacrifice your peace offerings, eating them and rejoicing in the presence of the LORD your God.
Mommɔ asomdwoe afɔre nso wɔ so na momfa anigye nnidi wɔ hɔ wɔ Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn no, anim.
8 And you shall write distinctly upon these stones all the words of this law.”
Monkyerɛw mmara no mu nhyehyɛe nyinaa pɛpɛɛpɛ ngu abo a wɔde akaadoo asra ho no so.”
9 Then Moses and the Levitical priests spoke to all Israel: “Be silent, O Israel, and listen! This day you have become the people of the LORD your God.
Afei, Mose ne Lewifo asɔfo kasa kyerɛɛ Israelfo no se, “Israel, monyɛ komm na muntie! Nnɛ, moabɛyɛ Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn no, manfo.
10 You shall therefore obey the voice of the LORD your God and follow His commandments and statutes I am giving you today.”
Monyɛ osetie mma Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn no, na munni ne mmara ne nʼahyɛde a mede rema mo nnɛ yi so.”
11 On that day Moses commanded the people:
Saa da no ara, Mose hyɛɛ ɔmanfo no se:
12 “When you have crossed the Jordan, these tribes shall stand on Mount Gerizim to bless the people: Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, Joseph, and Benjamin.
Sɛ mutwa Asubɔnten Yordan a Simeon, Lewi, Yuda, Isakar, Yosef ne Benyamin mmusuakuw na wonnyina Gerisim bepɔw so nhyira ɔman no.
13 And these tribes shall stand on Mount Ebal to deliver the curse: Reuben, Gad, Asher, Zebulun, Dan, and Naphtali.
Ruben, Gad, Aser, Sebulon, Dan ne Naftali mmusuakuw nso nnyina Ebal bepɔw so nnome.
14 Then the Levites shall proclaim in a loud voice to every Israelite:
Lewifo nteɛteɛ mu nworo ngu nnipa a wɔwɔ Israel nyinaa so se:
15 ‘Cursed is the man who makes a carved idol or molten image—an abomination to the LORD, the work of the hands of a craftsman—and sets it up in secret.’
“Nnome nka onipa a ɔbɛyɛ ohoni a wɔasen anaa nea wɔagu de ahyɛ kokoa mu. Saa ahoni, adwumfo nsa ano nnwuma yi yɛ Awurade akyiwade.” Na ɔman no nyinaa begye so se, “Amen!”
16 ‘Cursed is he who dishonors his father or mother.’

20 ‘Cursed is he who sleeps with his father’s wife, for he has violated his father’s marriage bed.’
“Nnome nka obiara a ɔne nʼagya yere bɛda, efisɛ wagu nʼagya mpa ho fi.” Na ɔman no nyinaa begye so se, “Amen!”
21 ‘Cursed is he who lies with any animal.’
“Nnome nka obiara a ɔne aboa bɛda.” Na ɔman no nyinaa begye so se, “Amen!”
22 ‘Cursed is he who sleeps with his sister, the daughter of his father or the daughter of his mother.’
“Nnome nka obiara a ɔne ne nuabea bɛda, sɛ ɔyɛ nʼagya babea anaa ne na babea.” Na ɔman no nyinaa begye so se, “Amen!”
23 ‘Cursed is he who sleeps with his mother-in-law.’
“Nnome nka obiara a ɔne nʼasebea bɛda.” Na ɔman no nyinaa begye so se, “Amen!”
24 ‘Cursed is he who strikes down his neighbor in secret.’
“Nnome nka obiara a obekum ɔfoforo wɔ kokoa mu.” Na ɔman no nyinaa begye so se, “Amen!”
25 ‘Cursed is he who accepts a bribe to kill an innocent person.’
“Nnome nka obiara a ogye apaade, kum onipa a ɔnyɛɛ bɔne biara.” Na ɔman no nyinaa begye so se, “Amen!”
26 ‘Cursed is he who does not put the words of this law into practice.’
“Nnome nka obiara a wanni mmara nsɛm yi so na wannye anto mu.” Na ɔman no nyinaa begye so se, “Amen!”
