Deuteronomy 27

1 And Moses with the ancients of Israel commanded the people, saying: Keep every commandment 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 when you are passed over the Jordan into the land which the Lord thy God will give thee, thou shalt set up great stones, and shalt plaster them over 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 That thou mayst write on them all the words of this law, when thou art passed over the Jordan: that thou mayst enter into the land which the Lord thy God will give thee, a land flowing with milk and honey, as he swore to thy fathers.

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 Therefore when you are passed over the Jordan, set up the stones which I command you this day, in mount Hebal, and thou shalt 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 thou shalt build there an altar to the Lord thy God, of stones which iron hath not touched,

Munsi afɔremuka, abo afɔremuka wɔ hɔ mma Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn no. Mommfa dade biribiara nka.

6 And of stones not fashioned nor polished: and thou shalt offer upon it holocausts to the Lord thy God:

Momfa abo amuamu nsi Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn no, afɔremuka no na mommɔ ɔhyew afɔre wɔ so mma Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn no.

7 And shalt immolate peace victims, and eat there, and feast before the Lord thy God.

Mommɔ asomdwoe afɔre nso wɔ so na momfa anigye nnidi wɔ hɔ wɔ Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn no, anim.

8 And thou shalt write upon the stones all the words of this law plainly and clearly,

Monkyerɛw mmara no mu nhyehyɛe nyinaa pɛpɛɛpɛ ngu abo a wɔde akaadoo asra ho no so.”

9 And Moses and the priests of the race of Levi said to all Israel: Attend, and hear, O Israel: This day thou art made the people of the Lord thy God.

Afei, Mose ne Lewifo asɔfo kasa kyerɛɛ Israelfo no se, “Israel, monyɛ komm na muntie! Nnɛ, moabɛyɛ Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn no, manfo.

10 Thou shalt hear his voice, and do the commandments and justices which I command thee.

Monyɛ osetie mma Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn no, na munni ne mmara ne nʼahyɛde a mede rema mo nnɛ yi so.”

11 And Moses commanded the people in that day, saying:

Saa da no ara, Mose hyɛɛ ɔmanfo no se:

12 These shall stand upon mount Garizim to bless the people, when you are passed the Jordan: Simeon, Levi, Juda, 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 over against them shall stand on mount Hebal to curse: Ruben, Gad, and Aser, and Zabulon, Dan, and Nephtali.

Ruben, Gad, Aser, Sebulon, Dan ne Naftali mmusuakuw nso nnyina Ebal bepɔw so nnome.

14 And the Levites shall pronounce, and say to all the men of Israel with a loud voice:
