< Deuteronomy 27 >

1 And Moses and the elders of Israel commanded, saying, Keep all these commands, all that I command you this day.
Mose ne Israel mpanyimfo hyɛɛ ɔmanfo no se, “Munni mmara a mede rema mo nnɛ yi nyinaa so.
2 And it shall come to pass in the day when you shall cross over Jordan into the land which the Lord your God gives you, that you shall set up for yourself great stones, and shall plaster 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 And you shall write on these stones all the words of this law, as soon as you have crossed Jordan, when you are entered into the land, which the Lord God of your fathers gives you, a land flowing with milk and honey, according as the Lord God of your fathers said to 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 it shall be as soon as you are gone over Jordan, you shall set up these stones, which I command you this day, on mount Gaebal, and you shall plaster 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 And you shall build there an altar to the Lord your God, an altar of stones; you shall not lift up iron upon it.
Munsi afɔremuka, abo afɔremuka wɔ hɔ mma Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn no. Mommfa dade biribiara nka.
6 Of whole stones shall you build an altar to the Lord your God, and you shall offer upon it whole 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 And you shall there offer a peace-offering; and you shall eat and be filled, and rejoice before 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 upon the stones all this law very plainly.
Monkyerɛw mmara no mu nhyehyɛe nyinaa pɛpɛɛpɛ ngu abo a wɔde akaadoo asra ho no so.”
9 And Moses and the priests the Levites spoke to all Israel, saying, Be silent and hear, O Israel; this day you are become a people to 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 And you shall listen to the voice of the Lord your God, and shall do all his commands, and his ordinances, as many as I command you this day.
Monyɛ osetie mma Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn no, na munni ne mmara ne nʼahyɛde a mede rema mo nnɛ yi so.”
11 And Moses charged the people on that day, saying,
Saa da no ara, Mose hyɛɛ ɔmanfo no se:
12 These shall stand to bless the people on mount Garizin having gone over Jordan; Symeon, Levi, Judas, 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 shall stand for cursing on mount Gaebal; Ruben, Gad, and Aser, Zabulon, Dan, and Nephthali.
Ruben, Gad, Aser, Sebulon, Dan ne Naftali mmusuakuw nso nnyina Ebal bepɔw so nnome.
14 And the Levites shall answer and say to all Israel with a loud voice,
