< 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 wɔ baabiara a Awurade mo Onyankopɔn bɛhwete 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 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 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.
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 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, ɛfiri hɔ no, Awurade, mo Onyankopɔn, bɛboaboa mo ano asane de mo aba bio.
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.
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 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 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 thy enemies, and upon them that hate and persecute thee.
Awurade, mo Onyankopɔn, de saa nnome yi nyinaa bɛgu mo atamfoɔ ne wɔn 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:
Afei, mobɛsane atie, adi Awurade mmara a mede rema mo ɛnnɛ no 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 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 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 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, that I command thee this day is not above thee, nor far off from thee:
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, 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?
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: 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 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 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 wʼakoma mu. Ɛno enti, monni so.
15 Consider that I have set before thee this day life and good, and on the other hand death and evil:
Montie, ɛnnɛ, mede nkwa ne nkɔsoɔ, owuo ne ɔsɛeɛ 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.
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 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 akoma dane, sɛ moanyɛ ɔsetie, na sɛ wɔtwe mo kɔkoto anyame foforɔ, 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 ɛnnɛ sɛ, nokorɛm wɔbɛsɛe mo; morentena asase a moretwa Yordan akɔ so akɔfa sɛ agyapadeɛ 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 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 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 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.
