Deuteronomy 10

1 After that the Lord told me, “Cut out two stone tablets just like the first ones, make an Ark out of wood, and come up to me on the mountain.

Saa ɛberɛ no, Awurade ka kyerɛɛ me sɛ, “Twa aboɔ ɛpono no mmienu te sɛ kane deɛ no na foro bra me nkyɛn wɔ bepɔ no so. Afei, yɛ dua adaka a wobɛkora wɔ mu.

2 I will write same the words on the tablets that were on the first ones, which you broke. Then put them in the Ark.”

Mɛtwerɛ nsɛm a metwerɛ guu aboɔ ɛpono mmienu a ɛdi ɛkan a wobubuu mu no bi pɛpɛɛpɛ agu so. Na wode ahyɛ adaka no mu.”

3 I made an Ark out of acacia wood, cut out two stone tablets like the first ones, and went up the mountain carrying them.

Na mede dua okuo yɛɛ adaka, senee aboɔ ɛpono mmienu sɛ kane deɛ no, na meforoo bepɔ no a apono mmienu no kura me nsam.

4 The Lord wrote what he had before on the tablets, the Ten Commandments that he'd told you when he spoke from the fire on the mountain when we were all assembled there. The Lord gave them to me,

Awurade twerɛɛ Mmaransɛm Edu no a ɔdii ɛkan twerɛ firii ogya mu wɔ bepɔ no so wɔ mo nhyiamu ase no guu apono no so. Na Awurade de maa me.

5 and I went back down the mountain and put them in the Ark I'd made following the Lord's instructions. They have been there ever since.

Na mesiane firii bepɔ no so na mede aboɔ apono no bɛhyɛɛ adaka a meyɛeɛ no mu sɛdeɛ Awurade hyɛɛ me sɛ menyɛ no, na ɛwɔ hɔ bɛsi ɛnnɛ.

6 The Israelites went from the wells of the people of Jaakan to Moserah. Aaron died there and was buried, and Eleazar his son took over as priest.

Na Israelfoɔ tu firii Beerot-Bene-Yaakan kɔɔ Mosera. Ɛhɔ na Aaron wuiɛ na wɔsiee no. Aaron babarima Eleasa sii nʼanan mu, dii ɔsɔfoɔ.

7 From there they moved on to Gudgodah, and from Gudgodah to Jotbathah, a land that had many streams.

Wɔfiri hɔ no, wɔtu kɔɔ Gudgod. Wɔfiri Gudgod hɔ no, wɔkɔɔ Yotbata, asase a nsuo abu so wɔ so.

8 At this time the Lord put the tribe of Levi in charge of carrying the Ark of the Lord's Agreement, as well as serving the Lord by standing in his presence, and of pronouncing blessings in his name, as they continue to do to this day.

Ɛhɔ na Awurade yii Lewifoɔ abusuakuo sɛ wɔnsoa Awurade apam adaka no na wɔnnyina Awurade anim nsom no na wɔmfa ne din so nhyira. Yeinom da so yɛ wɔn nnwuma de bɛsi ɛnnɛ.

9 That's why the tribe of Levi has no land allowance or share among the other tribes. The Lord provides what they need, just as the Lord your God promised.

Ne saa enti na Lewifoɔ no nni agyapadeɛ a wɔnya mu mfasodeɛ wɔ Israelfoɔ mmusuakuo mu no. Awurade no ankasa ne wɔn agyapadeɛ sɛdeɛ Awurade mo Onyankopɔn ka kyerɛɛ wɔn no.

10 I remained on the mountain forty days and forty nights as before, and during that time the Lord listened to my prayers once more and agreed not to destroy you.

Sɛdeɛ maka dada no, metenaa bepɔ no so Awurade anim adaduanan awia ne anadwo ne mprenu so. Na bio, Awurade tiee me sufrɛ enti, wansɛe mo.

11 Then the Lord told me, “Get ready and continue your journey leading the people so they may enter and take over the land that I promised their forefathers to give them.”

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

12 People of Israel, what does the Lord your God want from you? He wants you to respect the Lord your God by following all his ways. He wants you to love him. He wants you to worship the Lord your God with all your mind and with all your being,

Enti Israel, ɛdeɛn na Awurade, mo Onyankopɔn, hwehwɛ afiri mo nkyɛn? Ɔhwehwɛ sɛ mosuro no na moyɛ nʼapɛdeɛ, na mode mo akoma ne mo kra nyinaa dɔ no na mosom no,

13 He wants you to keep the commandments and regulations of the Lord that I am giving you today for your own good.

na modi Awurade ahyɛdeɛ ne ne mmara a mede rema mo ɛnnɛ yi so, na asi mo yie.

14 Look! Everything belongs to the Lord your God: the heavens, the highest heavens, and the earth and all that is there.

Ɔsorosoro mu soro ne asase ne deɛ ɛwɔ mu nyinaa yɛ Awurade mo Onyankopɔn, dea.

15 But Lord was attracted to your forefathers and he loved them. He has also chosen you, their descendants, above any other people, even up till today.

Nanso, Awurade yii mo agyanom sɛ ne dɔ nhwɛsodeɛ. Na ɔyii mo a moyɛ wɔn asefoɔ gyaa ɔman biara sɛdeɛ ɛte ɛnnɛ yi.

16 Dedicate yourselves to God. Don't be stubborn and hard-hearted anymore.

Ɛno enti, momma wɔnte mo akoma mu na monnyae asoɔden no.

17 For the Lord your God is God of gods and Lord of lords. He is the great, powerful, and awesome God. He shows no favoritism and accepts no bribes.

Awurade mo Onyankopɔn yɛ ahene mu hene ne anyame mu nyame. Ɔyɛ Onyankopɔn kokuroko, otumfoɔ ne ɔnwanwani a ɔnkyea nʼaso na ɔnnye adanmudeɛ nso.

18 He makes sure that orphans and widows receive justice, and he loves the foreigners, providing them with food and clothing.

Ɔbu nwisiaa ne akunafoɔ atɛntenenee. Ɔda ne dɔ adi kyerɛ ahɔhoɔ a wɔte mo mu. Ɔma wɔn aduane ne ntoma.

19 You too must love the foreigner because you yourselves were once foreigners in Egypt.

Mo nso, ɛsɛ sɛ modɔ ahɔhoɔ, ɛfiri sɛ, mo nso ɛberɛ bi na moyɛ ahɔhoɔ wɔ Misraim asase so.

20 You must respect the Lord your God and worship him. Hold onto him and make your promises in his name.

Ɛsɛ sɛ modi Awurade mo Onyankopɔn ni na mosom no, na moka mo ho bata ne ho. Monka ntam wɔ ne din nko ara mu.

21 He is the one you should praise and he is your God, who has carried out for you these incredible and awesome miracles that you've seen with your own eyes.

Ɔyɛ mo Onyankopɔn a ɛsɛ sɛ mokamfo no. Ɔno na wayɛ anwanwadeɛ akɛseɛ a mo nyinaa ahunu bi.

22 When your forefathers went to Egypt there were only seventy of them in total, but now God has increased your numbers so much that there are as many of you as there are stars in the sky.

Ɛberɛ a mo agyanom siane kɔɔ Misraim no, na wɔn dodoɔ yɛ aduɔson. Nanso afei, Awurade, mo Onyankopɔn ama moadɔre te sɛ ɔsoro nsoromma.
