< Deuteronomy 30 >

1 Now when all these things have come on you, the blessing and the curse which I have put before you, if the thought of them comes back to your minds, when you are living among the nations where the Lord your God has sent you,
Sɛ nhyira ne nnome a mede ato mo anim no nyinaa ba mo so wɔ baabiara a Awurade mo Onyankopɔn bɛhwete mo akɔ wɔ aman no mu,
2 And your hearts are turned again to the Lord your God, and you give ear to his word which I give you today, you and your children, with all your heart and with all your soul:
na mo ne mo mma sane ba Awurade, mo Onyankopɔn, nkyɛn, na mode mo akoma ne mo kra nyinaa yɛ ɔsetie ma no sɛdeɛ merekyerɛ mo ɛnnɛ yi a,
3 Then the Lord will have pity on you, changing your fate, and taking you back again from among all the nations where you have been forced to go.
ɛnneɛ, Awurade, mo Onyankopɔn de mo akradeɛ bɛma mo, na wahunu mo mmɔbɔ, na waboaboa mo ano bio afiri amanaman a ɔbɔɔ mo hwete kɔɔ so no nyinaa, asane de mo aba bio.
4 Even if those who have been forced out are living in the farthest part of heaven, the Lord your God will go in search of you, and take you back;
Sɛ mpo, wɔapam mo kɔ akyirikyiri asase bi a ɛwɔ ɔsoro ase a, ɛfiri hɔ no, Awurade, mo Onyankopɔn, bɛboaboa mo ano asane de mo aba bio.
5 Placing you again in the land of your fathers as your heritage; and he will do you good, increasing you till you are more in number than your fathers were.
Awurade Onyankopɔn de mo bɛba asase a ɛyɛ mo agyanom dea so, na moafa sɛ agyapadeɛ. Ɔbɛma mo adi yie na mo adɔɔso asene mo agyanom.
6 And the Lord your God will give to you and to your seed a circumcision of the heart, so that, loving him with all your heart and all your soul, you may have life.
Awurade, mo Onyankopɔn, bɛtene mo ne mo asefoɔ akoma so sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a, mode mo akoma ne mo kra nyinaa bɛdɔ no na moatena.
7 And the Lord your God will put all these curses on those who are against you, and on your haters who put a cruel yoke on you.
Awurade, mo Onyankopɔn, de saa nnome yi nyinaa bɛgu mo atamfoɔ ne wɔn a wɔtaa mo no so.
8 And you will again give ear to the voice of the Lord, and do all his orders which I have given you today.
Afei, mobɛsane atie, adi Awurade mmara a mede rema mo ɛnnɛ no so.
9 And the Lord your God will make you fertile in all good things, blessing the work of your hands, and the fruit of your body, and the fruit of your cattle, and the fruit of your land: for the Lord will have joy in you, as he had in your fathers:
Awurade, mo Onyankopɔn, bɛma biribiara a moyɛ no asi mo yie. Ɔbɛma mo mma pii. Mo nyɛmmoa bɛdɔɔso. Na mo mfuo mu nnɔbaeɛ nso bɛbu so, ɛfiri sɛ, Awurade, mo Onyankopɔn, ani bɛgye sɛ ɔbɛma mo adi yie sɛdeɛ na ɔyɛ mo agyanom no.
10 If you give ear to the voice of the Lord your God, keeping his orders and his laws which are recorded in this book of the law, and turning to the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul.
Sɛ motie Awurade, mo Onyankopɔn, nne, na modi nʼahyɛdeɛ ne ne mmara a wɔatwerɛ wɔ saa mmara nwoma no mu no so, na mode mo akoma ne mo kra dɔ no a, nʼani bɛgye mo yiedie ho.
11 For these orders which I have given you today are not strange and secret, and are not far away.
Nokorɛm, saa mmara a merehyɛ ama mo ɛnnɛ yi sodie nyɛ den, na ɛnyɛ adeɛ a morentumi nyɛ nso.
12 They are not in heaven, for you to say, Who will go up to heaven for us and give us knowledge of them so that we may do them?
Ɛnni soro a enti mobɛka sɛ, “Hwan na ɔbɛkɔ soro ama yɛn na wakɔgye abrɛ yɛn, na yɛate adi so?”
13 And they are not across the sea, for you to say, Who will go over the sea for us and give us news of them so that we may do them?
Saa ara nso na ɛnni ɛpo agya a enti mobɛka sɛ, “Hwan na ɔbɛtwa akɔ ɛpo fa nohoa ama yɛn na wakɔgye abrɛ yɛn, na yɛate adi so?”
14 But the word is very near you, in your mouth and in your heart, so that you may do it.
Dabi, asɛm no abɛn wo. Ɛda wʼano, na ɛwɔ wʼakoma mu. Ɛno enti, monni so.
15 See, I have put before you today, life and good, and death and evil;
Montie, ɛnnɛ, mede nkwa ne nkɔsoɔ, owuo ne ɔsɛeɛ asi mo anim.
16 In giving you orders today to have love for the Lord your God, to go in his ways and keep his laws and his orders and his decisions, so that you may have life and be increased, and that the blessing of the Lord your God may be with you in the land where you are going, the land of your heritage.
Sɛ motie Awurade, mo Onyankopɔn, mmara a merehyɛ ama mo ɛnnɛ yi, nam so dɔ Awurade, mo Onyankopɔn, nante nʼakwan mu, di ne mmara so a, mobɛnya nkwa na mo ase adɔre, na Awurade, mo Onyankopɔn bɛhyira mo wɔ asase a morekɔ akɔtena so no so.
17 But if your heart is turned away and your ear is shut, and you go after those who would make you servants and worshippers of other gods:
Nanso sɛ mo akoma dane, sɛ moanyɛ ɔsetie, na sɛ wɔtwe mo kɔkoto anyame foforɔ, na mosom wɔn a,
18 I give witness against you this day that destruction will certainly be your fate, and your days will be cut short in the land where you are going, the land of your heritage on the other side of Jordan.
mepae mu ka kyerɛ mo ɛnnɛ sɛ, nokorɛm wɔbɛsɛe mo; morentena asase a moretwa Yordan akɔ so akɔfa sɛ agyapadeɛ no so nkyɛ.
19 Let heaven and earth be my witnesses against you this day that I have put before you life and death, a blessing and a curse: so take life for yourselves and for your seed:
Nnɛ mede nkwa ne owuo, nhyira ne nnome, asi mo anim sɛ monyi deɛ mopɛ. Mefrɛ ɔsoro ne asase sɛ adansefoɔ. Momfa nkwa, sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a, mo ne mo asefoɔ bɛnya nkwa!
20 In loving the Lord your God, hearing his voice and being true to him: for he is your life and by him will your days be long: so that you may go on living in the land which the Lord gave by an oath to your fathers, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.
Monnɔ Awurade, mo Onyankopɔn. Monyɛ ɔsetie mma no, na momfa mo ho mma no, ɛfiri sɛ, ɔno ne mo nkwa. Ɛno na mobɛtena ase akyɛre wɔ asase a Awurade kaa ntam sɛ ɔde bɛma mo tete agyanom Abraham, Isak ne Yakob no.
