Leviticus 26
1 “You must not make idols for yourselves or set up a carved image or sacred pillar; you must not place a sculpted stone in your land to bow down to it. For I am the LORD your God.
“‘Monnyɛ abosom. Monnsisi ahoni anaa aboɔ mma mo ho. Mommfa aboɔ a wɔatwa nsisi mo asase so sɛ morebɛkoto wɔn. Mene Awurade mo Onyankopɔn.
2 You must keep My Sabbaths and have reverence for My sanctuary. I am the LORD.
“‘Ɛsɛ sɛ modi me Homeda, na mode anidie ma me kronkronbea. Mene Awurade.
3 If you follow My statutes and carefully keep My commandments,
“‘Sɛ modi me mmara no nyinaa so a,
4 I will give you rains in their season, and the land will yield its produce, and the trees of the field will bear their fruit.
daa mɛtɔ osuo ama mo ama mo nnɔbaeɛ ayɛ yie abu so, na mo nnua nso bɛso aba a ɛbɛkyɛre wɔ nnua no so.
5 Your threshing will continue until the grape harvest, and the grape harvest will continue until sowing time; you will have your fill of food to eat and will dwell securely in your land.
Na sɛ ɛduru odua berɛ so bio koraa a, mo borɔdɔma bɛkɔ so abere. Mobɛdidi amee na moatena asase no so asomdwoeɛ mu,
6 And I will give peace to the land, and you will lie down with nothing to fear. I will rid the land of dangerous animals, and no sword will pass through your land.
“‘Ɛfiri sɛ, mɛma mo asomdwoeɛ, na mɛma mo ada a monnsuro hwee. Mɛpam mmoa bɔne afiri mo ho.
7 You will pursue your enemies, and they will fall by the sword before you.
Mobɛpam mo atamfoɔ; na wɔbɛwuwu wɔ mo asekan ano.
8 Five of you will pursue a hundred, and a hundred of you will pursue ten thousand, and your enemies will fall by the sword before you.
Mo mu baanum bɛka ɔha agu, na mo mu ɔha aka ɔpedu agu! Mo atamfoɔ bɛtotɔ wɔ akofena ano wɔ mo anim.
9 I will turn toward you and make you fruitful and multiply you, and I will establish My covenant with you.
“‘Mɛhwɛ mo so na mama mo adɔre, na madi apam a me ne mo pameeɛ no so.
10 You will still be eating the old supply of grain when you need to clear it out to make room for the new.
Mo nnɔbaeɛ bɛbu so a sɛ otwa berɛ foforɔ duru so a, morenhunu deɛ mode bɛyɛ.
11 And I will make My dwelling place among you, and My soul will not despise you.
Na mɛtena mo mu, na meremmu mo animtiaa.
12 I will walk among you and be your God, and you will be My people.
Me ne mo bɛnante, na mayɛ mo Onyankopɔn, na moayɛ me nkurɔfoɔ.
13 I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt so that you would no longer be slaves to the Egyptians. I broke the bars of your yoke and enabled you to walk in uprightness.
Mene Awurade mo Onyankopɔn a ɔde mo firi Misraim asase so baeɛ sɛ ɔmpɛ sɛ moyɛ nkoa bio no. Mabubu mo nkɔnsɔnkɔnsɔn mu, na mɛma mo anante animuonyam so.
14 If, however, you fail to obey Me and to carry out all these commandments,
“‘Na sɛ moantie me, anni mʼasɛm so,
15 and if you reject My statutes, despise My ordinances, and neglect to carry out all My commandments, and so break My covenant,
na mopo me mmara a,
16 then this is what I will do to you: I will bring upon you sudden terror, wasting disease, and fever that will destroy your sight and drain your life. You will sow your seed in vain, because your enemies will eat it.
deɛ mɛyɛ mo nie: Mɛma mo akoma atutu na mama nsamanwa ayɛ mo, na atiridiinini abɔ mo. Mo ani bɛtutu, na mo nkwa so ahwan. Mobɛdua nnɔbaeɛ agu kwa, ɛfiri sɛ, mo atamfoɔ na wɔbɛdie.
17 And I will set My face against you, so that you will be defeated by your enemies. Those who hate you will rule over you, and you will flee when no one pursues you.
Mɛyi mʼani afiri mo so, na moadwane afiri mo atamfoɔ anim. Wɔn a wɔtan mo bɛdi mo so. Mobɛdwane ɛberɛ a obiara mpam mo.
18 And if after all this you will not obey Me, I will proceed to punish you sevenfold for your sins.
“‘Na sɛ mokɔ so yɛ asoɔden a, mɛtwe mo aso mmɔho nson a emu yɛ den wɔ mo bɔne no ho.
19 I will break down your stubborn pride and make your sky like iron and your land like bronze,
Mɛsɛe mo ahantan tumi no na mayɛ mo soro sɛ dadeɛ ne mo fam sɛ kɔbere.
20 and your strength will be spent in vain. For your land will not yield its produce, and the trees of the land will not bear their fruit.
Mobɛsɛe mo ahoɔden kwa, na mo asase nnya nnɔbaeɛ biara, na ɛso nnua nso renso aba.
21 If you walk in hostility toward Me and refuse to obey Me, I will multiply your plagues seven times, according to your sins.
“‘Na sɛ tie ara na monntie me a, mo bɔne enti, mede ɔyaredɔm mmɔho nson bɛgu mo so.
22 I will send wild animals against you to rob you of your children, destroy your livestock, and reduce your numbers, until your roads lie desolate.
Mɛma nkekaboa abɛkunkum mo mma na wɔakunkum mo anantwie, na mate mo dodoɔ so, na mo akwan bɛda mpan a obi mfa so bio.
23 And if in spite of these things you do not accept My discipline, but continue to walk in hostility toward Me,
“‘Na sɛ yei antumi ansesa mo, na mokɔ so tia mʼapɛdeɛ a,
24 then I will act with hostility toward you, and I will strike you sevenfold for your sins.
me nso, mɛtia mo apɛdeɛ, na me ara mʼankasa mɛtwe mo aso mprɛnson wɔ mo bɔne ho.
25 And I will bring a sword against you to execute the vengeance of the covenant. Though you withdraw into your cities, I will send a plague among you, and you will be delivered into the hand of the enemy.
Menam ɔko so bɛbu mʼapam so ako atia mo de atua mo so ka. Mobɛdwane akɔ mo nkuro mu, na mede nyarewa bɛtoa mo wɔ hɔ. Na mo atamfoɔ bɛdi mo so.
26 When I cut off your supply of bread, ten women will bake your bread in a single oven and dole out your bread by weight, so that you will eat but not be satisfied.
Mɛsɛe mo nnuane a mobɛnya nyinaa kɔsi sɛ mpo, fononoo baako burodo a ɛbɛto no na mmusuakuo edu bɛdi. Aduane kakra a mobɛdi no akyi, ɛkɔm bɛde mo.
27 But if in spite of all this you do not obey Me, but continue to walk in hostility toward Me,
“‘Na sɛ mokɔ so yɛ asoɔden a,
28 then I will walk in fury against you, and I, even I, will punish you sevenfold for your sins.
mo bɔne enti, me bo bɛfu mo na matwe mo aso a emu yɛ den mmɔho nson.
29 You will eat the flesh of your own sons and daughters.
Mobɛwe mo mmammarima ne mo mmammaa ɛnam.
30 I will destroy your high places, cut down your incense altars, and heap your lifeless bodies on the lifeless remains of your idols; and My soul will despise you.
Mɛsɛe mo sorɔnsorɔmmea. Mɛtwitwa mo aduhwam afɔrebukyia agu, na mahyehyɛ mo afunu wɔ mo ahoni a ɛnni nkwa no so; na mɛpo mo.
31 I will reduce your cities to rubble and lay waste your sanctuaries, and I will refuse to smell the pleasing aroma of your sacrifices.
Mɛma mo nkuro ayɛ amamfo na masɛe baabi a mosom nyinaa, na mapo mo ohwam afɔrebɔ no.
32 And I will lay waste the land, so that your enemies who dwell in it will be appalled.
Ampa ara, mɛma mo asase so ada mpan na mo atamfoɔ atena so, na deɛ mɛyɛ mo no ayɛ mo nwanwa.
33 But I will scatter you among the nations and will draw out a sword after you as your land becomes desolate and your cities are laid waste.
Mɛbɔ mo apete aman no a morekɔ so nyinaa, na mede ɔko asɛe mo. Mo asase bɛda mpan na wɔasɛe mo nkuro.
34 Then the land shall enjoy its Sabbaths all the days it lies desolate, while you are in the land of your enemies. At that time the land will rest and enjoy its Sabbaths.
Akyire no, asase no bɛda hɔ ahome de asi mfeɛ dodoɔ a moamma anhome no anan; ɛbɛda hɔ wɔ mmerɛ a mowɔ atamfoɔ nsam wɔ wɔn nsase so no nyinaa. Na asase no ahome, na anya ne home nna nso.
35 As long as it lies desolate, the land will have the rest it did not receive during the Sabbaths when you lived in it.
Ɛberɛ a asase no da mpan nyinaa, ɛbɛnya home a moamma annya wɔ Homeda dodoɔ a motenaa soɔ no.
36 As for those of you who survive, I will send a faintness into their hearts in the lands of their enemies, so that even the sound of a windblown leaf will put them to flight. And they will flee as one flees the sword, and fall when no one pursues them.
“‘Wɔn a wɔgyaa wɔn hɔ a wɔnwuiɛ no nso, mɛma wɔatwe wɔn akɔ akyirikyiri nsase so sɛ ɔko mu nneduafoɔ ne nkoa. Ɛhɔ na wɔbɛtena daa wɔ ehu mu. Wɔte sɛ mframa rebɔ ahahan koraa a, wɔbɛdwane te sɛ deɛ obi a ɔkura akofena repam wɔn; wɔbɛhwehwe ase wɔ ɛberɛ a obi mpam wɔn.
37 They will stumble over one another as before the sword, though no one is behind them. So you will not be able to stand against your enemies.
Obiara rempamo wɔn nanso ehu enti, wɔbɛsuntisunti wɔn ho wɔn ho te sɛ deɛ wɔredwane afiri akono a wɔnni tumi biara a wɔde bɛgyina wɔn atamfoɔ anim no.
38 You will perish among the nations, and the land of your enemies will consume you.
Mobɛyera wɔ aman mu, na mo atamfoɔ asɛe mo.
39 Those of you who survive in the lands of your enemies will waste away in their iniquity and will decay in the sins of their fathers.
Wɔn a wɔbɛka no, wɔn bɔne enti, wɔn ho bɛyera wɔn wɔ atamfoɔ nsase so, bɔne a wɔn agyanom yɛeɛ no enti.
40 But if they will confess their iniquity and that of their fathers in the unfaithfulness that they practiced against Me, by which they have also walked in hostility toward Me—
“‘Nanso akyire no, me nkurɔfoɔ bɛka wɔn bɔne ne wɔn agyanom bɔne. Wɔbɛka sɛdeɛ wɔdii me hwammɔ na wɔtiaa me no.
41 and I acted with hostility toward them and brought them into the land of their enemies—and if their uncircumcised hearts will be humbled and they will make amends for their iniquity,
Sɛ me nso metia wɔn te sɛ deɛ ɛsɛ na mede wɔn kɔ wɔn atamfoɔ asase so a, afei, wɔn akomaden no ano bɛbrɛ ase, na wɔbɛtua wɔn bɔne so ka.
42 then I will remember My covenant with Jacob and My covenant with Isaac and My covenant with Abraham, and I will remember the land.
Afei, mɛkae apam a me ne Yakob, Isak ne Abraham ayɛ, na mɛkae asase no.
43 For the land will be abandoned by them, and it will enjoy its Sabbaths by lying desolate without them. And they will pay the penalty for their iniquity, because they rejected My ordinances and abhorred My statutes.
Asase no da hɔ dinn no, ɛbɛdi ne homeda. Nanso akyire no, wɔbɛnya wɔn asotwe sɛ wɔanni me nhyehyɛeɛ so na wɔtiaa me mmara.
44 Yet in spite of this, when they are in the land of their enemies, I will not reject or despise them so as to destroy them and break My covenant with them; for I am the LORD their God.
Na deɛ wɔyɛɛ no nyinaa akyi no, merensɛe wɔne mʼapam no korakora, ɛfiri sɛ, mene Awurade wɔn Onyankopɔn.
45 But for their sake I will remember the covenant with their fathers, whom I brought out of the land of Egypt in the sight of the nations, that I might be their God. I am the LORD.”
Mɛkae tete apam a me ne wɔn agyanom a meyii wɔn firii Misraim, ɛberɛ a amanaman nyinaa rehwɛ no, yɛeɛ no. Me Awurade ne wɔn Onyankopɔn.’”
46 These are the statutes, ordinances, and laws that the LORD established between Himself and the Israelites through Moses on Mount Sinai.
Yeinom ne mmara ne ahyɛdeɛ a Awurade nam Mose so de maa Israelfoɔ no wɔ Sinai Bepɔ so no.
