< Deuteronomy 30 >
1 Now when all these things shall be come upon thee, the blessing or the curse, which I have set forth before thee, and thou shalt be touched with repentance of thy heart among all the nations, into which the Lord thy God shall have scattered thee,
Sɛ nhyira ne nnome a mede ato mo anim no nyinaa ba mo so, na mode hyɛ mo koma mu wɔ baabiara a Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn no, bɛfa mo akɔ, wɔ aman no mu,
2 And shalt return to him, and obey his commandments, as I command thee this day, thou and thy children, with all thy heart, and with all thy soul:
na mo ne mo mma san ba Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn no, nkyɛn, na mode mo koma ne mo kra nyinaa yɛ osetie ma no sɛnea merekyerɛ mo nnɛ yi a,
3 The Lord thy God will bring back again thy captivity, and will have mercy on thee, and gather thee again out of all the nations, into which he scattered thee before.
ɛno de, Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn no, de mo siade bɛma mo, na wahu mo mmɔbɔ, na waboaboa mo ano bio afi amanaman a ɔbɔɔ mo hwete kɔɔ so no nyinaa so, asan de mo aba.
4 If thou be driven as far as the poles of heaven, the Lord thy God will fetch thee back from thence,
Sɛ mpo, wɔapam mo kɔ akyirikyiri asase bi a ɛwɔ ɔsoro ase a, efi hɔ no, Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn no, bɛboaboa mo ano asan de mo aba.
5 And will take thee to himself, and bring thee into the land which thy fathers possessed, and thou shalt possess it: and blessing thee, he will make thee more numerous than were thy fathers.
Ɔde mo bɛba asase a ɛyɛ mo agyanom de no so na moafa sɛ agyapade. Ɔbɛma mo adi yiye na moadɔɔso asen mo agyanom.
6 The Lord thy God will circumcise thy heart, and the heart of thy seed: that then mayst love the Lord thy God with all thy heart and with all thy soul, that thou mayst live.
Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn no, beyi fi a ɛwɔ mo ne mo asefo koma mu no sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a mode mo koma ne mo kra nyinaa bɛdɔ no na moanya nkwa.
7 And he will turn all these curses upon thy enemies, and upon them that hate and persecute thee.
Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn no, de saa nnome yi nyinaa begu mo atamfo a wɔtaa mo no so.
8 But thou shalt return, and hear the voice of the Lord thy God, and shalt do all the commandments which I command thee this day:
Mobɛsan atie, adi Awurade ahyɛde a mede rema mo nnɛ no nyinaa so.
9 And the Lord thy God will make thee abound in all the works of thy hands, in the fruit of thy womb, and in the fruit of thy cattle, in the fruitfulness of thy land, and in the plenty of all things. For the Lord will return to rejoice over thee in all good things, as he rejoiced in thy fathers:
Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn no, bɛma biribiara a moyɛ no asi mo yiye. Ɔbɛma mo yafunu mu aba asi yiye pii. Mo nyɛmmoa bɛdɔɔso. Na mo mfuw mu nnɔbae nso bebu so, efisɛ Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn no, ani begye sɛ ɔbɛma mo adi yiye sɛnea na ɔyɛ mo agyanom no.
10 Yet so if thou hear the voice of the Lord thy God, and keep his precepts and ceremonies, which are written in this law: and return to the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul.
Sɛ mutie Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn no, nne, na mudi nʼahyɛde ne ne mmara a wɔakyerɛw wɔ saa Mmara Nhoma no mu no so, na mode mo koma ne mo kra dɔ no a, nʼani begye mo yiyedi ho.
11 This commandment, that I command thee this day is not above thee, nor far off from thee:
Nokware, saa mmara a merehyɛ ama mo nnɛ yi sodi nyɛ den na ɛnyɛ ade a morentumi nyɛ nso.
12 Nor is it in heaven, that thou shouldst say: Which of us can go up to heaven to bring it unto us, and we may hear and fulfill it in work?
Enni ɔsoro a enti mobɛka se, “Hena na ɔbɛkɔ ɔsoro ama yɛn na wakogye abrɛ yɛn, na yɛate adi so?”
13 Nor is it beyond the sea: that thou mayst excuse thyself, and say: Which of us can cross the sea, and bring it unto us: that we may hear, and do that which is commanded?
Saa ara nso na enni po agya a enti mobɛka se, “Hena na obetwa akɔ ɛpo fa nohɔ ama yɛn na wakogye abrɛ yɛn, na yɛate adi so?”
14 But the word is very nigh unto thee, in thy mouth and in thy heart, that thou mayst do it.
Dabi, asɛm no abɛn wo. Ɛda wʼano na ɛwɔ wo koma mu sɛ mudi so.
15 Consider that I have set before thee this day life and good, and on the other hand death and evil:
Muntie, nnɛ, mede nkwa ne yiyedi, owu ne ɔsɛe asi mo anim.
16 That thou mayst love the Lord thy God, and walk in his ways, and keep his commandments and ceremonies and judgments, and thou mayst live, and he may multiply thee, and bless thee in the land, which thou shalt go in to possess.
Na Sɛ mutie Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn no, mmara a merehyɛ ama mo nnɛ yi, nam so dɔ Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn, nantew nʼakwan mu, di ne mmara so a, mubenya nkwa na mo ase adɔ, na Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn behyira mo wɔ asase a morekɔ akɔtena so no so.
17 But if thy heart be turned away, so that thou wilt not hear, and being deceived with error thou adore strange gods, and serve them:
Nanso sɛ mo koma dan, sɛ moanyɛ osetie, na sɛ wɔtwe mo kɔkotow anyame afoforo, na mosom wɔn a,
18 I foretell thee this day that thou shalt perish, and shalt remain but a short time in the land, to which thou shalt pass over the Jordan, and shalt go in to possess it.
mepae mu ka kyerɛ mo nnɛ sɛ, nea ɛte biara no wɔbɛsɛe mo; morentena asase a moretwa Yordan akɔ so akɔfa sɛ agyapade no so nkyɛ.
19 I call heaven and earth to witness this day, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing. Choose therefore life, that both thou and thy seed may live:
Nnɛ mede nkwa ne owu, nhyira ne nnome, asi mo anim sɛ munyi nea mopɛ. Mefrɛ ɔsoro ne asase sɛ nnansefo. Momfa nkwa sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a mo ne mo asefo benya nkwa!
20 And that thou mayst love the Lord thy God, and obey his voice, and adhere to him (for he is thy life, and the length of thy days, ) that thou mayst dwell in the land, for which the Lord swore to thy fathers Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob that he would give it them.
Monnɔ Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn no, monyɛ osetie mma no, na momfa mo ho mma no, efisɛ ɔno ne mo nkwa. Ɛno na mobɛtena ase akyɛ wɔ asase a Awurade kaa ntam sɛ ɔde bɛma mo tete agyanom; Abraham, Isak ne Yakob no.
