< Deuteronomy 30 >
1 “Now when all these things will have fallen over you, the blessing or the curse that I have set forth in your sight, and you will have been led to repentance in your heart among all the nations to which the Lord your God will have dispersed 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 when you will have returned to him, so as to obey his commandments, just as I have instructed you this day, with your sons, with your whole heart and with your whole 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 your God will lead you away from your captivity, and he will take pity on you, and he will gather you again from all the nations to which he had dispersed you before.
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 you will have been scattered as far as the poles of the heavens, the Lord your God will retrieve you from there.
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 And he will take you up and lead you into the land which your fathers had possessed, and you shall obtain it. And in blessing you, he will make you greater in number than your fathers ever 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 The Lord your God will circumcise your heart, and the heart of your offspring, so that you may love the Lord your God with your entire heart and with your entire soul, so that you may be able to live.
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 he will turn all these curses upon your enemies, and upon those who hate and persecute you.
Awurade, mo Onyankopɔn, de saa nnome yi nyinaa bɛgu mo atamfoɔ ne wɔn a wɔtaa mo no so.
8 But you shall return, and you shall listen to the voice of the Lord your God. And you shall carry out all the commandments which I am entrusting to you this day.
Afei, mobɛsane atie, adi Awurade mmara a mede rema mo ɛnnɛ no so.
9 And the Lord your God will cause you to abound in all the works of your hands, in the progeny of your womb, and in the fruit of your cattle, in the fertility of your land, and with an abundance of all things. For the Lord will return, so that he may rejoice over you in all good things, just as he rejoiced 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 but only if you will listen to the voice of the Lord your God, and keep his precepts and ceremonies, which have been written in this law, and only if you return 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 This commandment, which I entrust to you today, is not high above you, nor has it been placed far away.
Nokorɛm, saa mmara a merehyɛ ama mo ɛnnɛ yi sodie nyɛ den, na ɛnyɛ adeɛ a morentumi nyɛ nso.
12 Nor is it in heaven, so that you would be able to say, ‘Which of us can ascend to heaven, so as to carry it back to us, and so that we may hear it and fulfill it in deed?’
Ɛnni soro a enti mobɛka sɛ, “Hwan na ɔbɛkɔ soro ama yɛn na wakɔgye abrɛ yɛn, na yɛate adi so?”
13 Nor is it beyond the sea, so that you would excuse yourself by saying, ‘Which of us is able to cross the sea, and to carry it back to us, so that we may be able to hear and to do what has been instructed?’
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 Instead, the word is near to 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 Consider what I have set forth in your sight this day, life and good, or, on the opposite side, death and evil,
Montie, ɛnnɛ, mede nkwa ne nkɔsoɔ, owuo ne ɔsɛeɛ asi mo anim.
16 so that you may love the Lord your God, and walk in his ways, and keep his commandments and ceremonies and judgments, and so that you may live, and he may multiply you and bless you in the land, which you shall enter in order to possess.
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 will have been turned aside, so that you are not willing to listen, and, having been deceived by error, you adore strange gods and serve them,
Nanso sɛ mo akoma dane, sɛ moanyɛ ɔsetie, na sɛ wɔtwe mo kɔkoto anyame foforɔ, na mosom wɔn a,
18 then I predict to you this day that you will perish, and you will remain for only a short time in the land, for which you shall cross the Jordan, and which you shall enter in order to possess.
mepae mu ka kyerɛ mo ɛnnɛ sɛ, nokorɛm wɔbɛsɛe mo; morentena asase a moretwa Yordan akɔ so akɔfa sɛ agyapadeɛ no so nkyɛ.
19 I call heaven and earth as witnesses this day, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and curse. Therefore, choose life, so that both you and your offspring may live,
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 and so that you may love the Lord your God, and obey his voice, and cling to him, (for he is your life and the length of your days) and so that you may live in the land, about which the Lord swore to your fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, that he would give it to them.”
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.
