Deuteronomy 10

1 At that time Jehovah said unto me, Hew for thyself two tables of stone like the first, and come up unto me into the mountain, and make thee an ark of wood;

Saa bere no, Awurade ka kyerɛɛ me se, “Twa abo apon no abien te sɛ kan de no na foro bra me nkyɛn wɔ bepɔw no so. Afei, yɛ dua adaka a wobɛkora wɔ mu.

2 and I will write on the tables the words that were on the first tables which thou didst break, and thou shalt lay them in the ark.

Mɛkyerɛw nsɛm a mekyerɛw guu abo apon abien a edi kan a wububuu mu no bi pɛpɛɛpɛ agu so. Na fa hyɛ adaka no mu.”

3 And I made an ark of acacia-wood, and hewed two tables of stone like the first, and went up the mountain with the two tables in my hand.

Na mede dua ɔkanto yɛɛ adaka, sen abo apon abien sɛ kan de no, na meforoo bepɔw no a na mikura apon abien no.

4 And he wrote on the tables, as the first writing, the ten words which Jehovah spoke unto you on the mountain, from the midst of the fire, on the day of the assembly, and Jehovah gave them unto me.

Awurade kyerɛw nsɛm a wakyerɛw bi dedaw, Mmaransɛm Du, a ɔkaa ho asɛm kyerɛɛ mo fi ogya mu wɔ bepɔw no so wɔ mo nhyiamu ase no guu apon no so. Na Awurade de maa me.

5 And I turned and came down from the mountain, and put the tables in the ark which I had made; — and they are there, as Jehovah commanded me.

Na misan fii bepɔw no so na mede abo apon no bɛhyɛɛ adaka a mayɛ no mu sɛnea Awurade hyɛɛ me sɛ menyɛ no, na ɛwɔ hɔ besi nnɛ.

6 (And the children of Israel took their journey from Beeroth-Bene-Jaakan to Moserah: there Aaron died, and there he was buried; and Eleazar his son exercised the priesthood in his stead.

Na Israelfo tu fii Beerot-Bene-Yaakan mmura ho kɔɔ Mosera. Ɛhɔ na Aaron wu ma wosiee no. Aaron babarima Eleasar sii nʼanan mu dii sɔfo.

7 From thence they journeyed unto Gudgodah; and from Gudgodah to Jotbathah, a land of water-brooks.)

Wofi hɔ tu kɔɔ Gudgod. Wofi Gudgod no, wɔkɔɔ Yotbata, asase a nsuten pii wɔ so.

8 At that time Jehovah separated the tribe of Levi, to bear the ark of the covenant of Jehovah, to stand before Jehovah to do service unto him, and to bless in his name, unto this day.

Ɛhɔ na Awurade yii Lewifo abusuakuw sɛ wɔnsoa Awurade apam adaka no na wonnyina Awurade anim nsom no na wɔmfa ne din so nhyira, sɛnea wɔyɛ no nnɛ yi.

9 Therefore Levi has no portion nor inheritance with his brethren; Jehovah is his inheritance, according as Jehovah thy God told him.

Ɛno nti na Lewifo no nni agyapade wɔ wɔn mfɛfo Israelfo no mu no. Awurade no ankasa ne wɔn agyapade sɛnea Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn, ka kyerɛɛ wɔn no.

10 But I stood upon the mountain according to the former days, forty days and forty nights; and Jehovah listened unto me also at that time: Jehovah would not destroy thee.

Na metenaa bepɔw no so wɔ Awurade anim adaduanan, awia ne anadwo sɛnea meyɛɛ kan no. Na Awurade tiee me bio. Na ɛnyɛ ne pɛ sɛ ɔbɛsɛe mo.

11 And Jehovah said unto me, Rise up, take thy journey before the people, that they may enter in and possess the land, which I swore unto their fathers to give unto them.

Awurade ka kyerɛɛ me se, “Sɔre na di nnipa no anim fa wɔn kɔ asase a mekaa ntam sɛ mede bɛma wɔn agyanom no so na wɔmfa no sɛ agyapade.”

12 And now, Israel, what doth Jehovah thy God require of thee, but to fear Jehovah thy God, to walk in all his ways, and to love him, and to serve Jehovah thy God with all thy heart and with all thy soul,

Na afei, Israel, dɛn na Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn, hwehwɛ afi mo nkyɛn? Ɔhwehwɛ sɛ musuro no na moyɛ nʼapɛde, na mode mo koma ne mo kra nyinaa dɔ no na mosom no,

13 to keep the commandments of Jehovah, and his statutes, which I command thee this day, for thy good?

na mudi Awurade ahyɛde ne ne mmara a mede rema mo nnɛ yi so, na asi mo yiye.

14 Behold, the heaven and the heaven of heavens belong to Jehovah thy God; the earth and all that is therein.

Ɔsorosoro mu soro ne asase ne nea ɛwɔ mu nyinaa yɛ Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn no, de.

15 Only, Jehovah took pleasure in thy fathers, to love them, and he chose their seed after them, [even] you, out of all the peoples, as it is this day.

Nanso Awurade nyaa abadae maa mo agyanom na ɔdɔ wɔn, na ɔpaw mo a moyɛ wɔn asefo gyaa aman nyinaa sɛnea ɛte nnɛ yi.

16 Circumcise then the foreskin of your heart, and stiffen your neck no more.

Ɛno nti, monhohoro mo koma mu bɔne na munnyae asoɔden no.

17 For Jehovah your God is the God of gods, and the Lord of lords, the great God, the mighty and the terrible, who regardeth not persons, nor taketh reward;

Na Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn, yɛ ahene mu hene ne anyame mu nyame. Ɔyɛ Onyankopɔn kɛse, otumfo ne ɔnwonwani a ɔnkyea nʼaso na onnye adanmude nso.

18 who executeth the judgment of the fatherless and the widow, and loveth the stranger, to give him food and clothing.

Ɔko ma nyisaa ne akunafo, na ɔdɔ ahɔho a wɔte mo mu. Ɔma wɔn aduan ne ntama.

19 And ye shall love the stranger; for ye have been strangers in the land of Egypt.

Mo nso, ɛsɛ sɛ modɔ ahɔho, efisɛ bere bi na mo ankasa nso yɛ ahɔho wɔ Misraim asase so.

20 Thou shalt fear Jehovah thy God; him thou shalt serve, and unto him shalt thou cleave, and swear by his name.

Munsuro Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn, na mosom no. Moka mo ho mmata ne ho, na mo ntam a moka nyɛ ne din nko ara.

21 He is thy praise, and he is thy God, who hath done for thee these great and terrible things, which thine eyes have seen.

Ɔyɛ mo Nyankopɔn a ɛsɛ sɛ mokamfo no. Ɔno na wayɛ anwonwade akɛse a mo nyinaa ahu bi.

22 With seventy souls thy fathers went down into Egypt; and now Jehovah thy God hath made thee as the stars of heaven for multitude.

Na mo agyanom a wɔkɔɔ Misraim no nyinaa dodow yɛ aduɔson. Nanso afei, Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn no ama mo ase adɔ te sɛ soro nsoromma.
