Deuteronomy 11
1 Love the Lord your God and do everything he says—his rules, regulations, and commandments.
Dɔ Awurade wo Onyankopɔn na di nʼapɛdeɛ, ne mmara ne nʼahyɛdeɛ so berɛ nyinaa.
2 You should realize that it's not your children who have experienced the Lord your God's discipline. It was you who saw his greatness, his power and strength;
Montie ɛnnɛ sɛ, ɛnyɛ mo mma na wɔnyaa osuahunu hunuu Awurade mo Onyankopɔn ntenesoɔ, ne tumi, ne basa kɛseɛ, ne nsa a watene mu,
3 and his miracles. You saw what he did to Pharaoh king of Egypt and his whole country.
nsɛnkyerɛnneɛ a ɔyɛeɛ ne nneɛma a wɔyɛɛ wɔ Misraim pɛɛ maa ebi kaa Misraimhene Farao ne ɔman mu no nyinaa.
4 You saw what he did to the Egyptian army and its horses and chariots when he swept them away in the Red Sea, drowning them as they chased after you. The story hasn't changed!
Wɔanhunu dwuma a mo Onyankopɔn dii Misraim asraafoɔ, wɔn apɔnkɔ ne wɔn nteaseɛnam, anaa sɛdeɛ ɔmaa Ɛpo Kɔkɔɔ yiri faa wɔn ɛberɛ a wɔtaa mo no ne sɛdeɛ Awurade sɛee wɔn ɛberɛ a wɔtaa mo no ne sɛdeɛ Awurade sɛee wɔn de bɛsi ɛnnɛ yi.
5 You saw what he did for you in the desert until you arrived here.
Wɔanhunu sɛdeɛ na Awurade hwɛ mo so yie wɔ ɛserɛ so hɔ kɔsii sɛ mobɛduruu ha.
6 You saw what he did, right there among you, to Dothan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab of the tribe of Reuben, when the earth split open and swallowed them down—their families, their tents, and all their animals.
Na wɔnni hɔ enti, wɔanhunu deɛ wɔde yɛɛ Eliab a ɔyɛ Ruben aseni mma Datan ne Abiram ɛberɛ a wɔyɛɛ bɔne na asase mu bue menee wɔn ne wɔn afie ne wɔn ntomadan ne biribiara a na nkwa wɔ mu a ɛyɛ wɔn agyapadeɛ no.
7 You saw with your own eyes all the amazing things that the Lord has done.
Na mode mo ani ahunu Awurade tumi nnwuma a ɔyɛeɛ nyinaa.
8 So you must keep every commandment I am giving you today That way you will have the strength to enter and take over the country that you are crossing the Jordan to have as your own,
Monni mmara a merehyɛ ama mo ɛnnɛ yi so sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a, mobɛnya ahoɔden akɔfa asase a morebɛtwa Yordan akɔ so akɔfa yi,
9 You will also have long lives in the country that the Lord promised to give your forefathers and their descendants, a land flowing with milk and honey.
na mo nna aware asase a nufosuo ne ɛwoɔ resene wɔ so a Awurade kaa ntam kyerɛɛ mo agyanom sɛ ɔde bɛma wɔn ne wɔn asefoɔ no so.
10 The country you're entering to occupy isn't like the country of Egypt that you've come from. There you had to sow your seed and work hard irrigating the ground, like taking care of a vegetable garden.
Asase a morebɛkɔ so no nte sɛ Misraim asase a mofiri so baeɛ no a na modua mfudeɛ a mode mo nan twa nsuka te sɛ deɛ moredua nhahannuane no.
11 But here in the country that you are crossing the Jordan to take over is a land of mountains and valleys that receives plenty of rain
Na asase a moretwa Yordan akɔfa no yɛ mmepɔ mmepɔ ne bɔnhwa a osuo tɔ wɔ hɔ yie
12 It is a land that the Lord your God takes care of. The Lord your God it is always watching over it, all year long.
a ɛyɛ asase a Awurade, mo Onyankopɔn, hwɛ so yie. Na daa Awurade mo Onyankopɔn ani wɔ so firi afe no ahyɛaseɛ kɔsi nʼawieeɛ.
13 So if you pay careful attention to keep the commandments I'm giving you today, if you love the Lord your God and to worship with all your mind and with all your being,
Sɛ moto mo bo ase tie me mmara a merehyɛ ama mo ɛnnɛ yi na mode mo akoma ne mo kra nyinaa dɔ Awurade, mo Onyankopɔn, na mosom no a,
14 then I will send rain for your land at the right time, rain in autumn and spring, so that you can harvest your grain, new wine, and olive oil.
ɛnneɛ, ɔbɛtɔ osuo ne berɛ mu ama mo na moatumi atwa nnɔbaeɛ de bi ayɛ nsã ne ngo.
15 I will also provide grass in the fields for your livestock. You will have more than enough to eat.
Ɔbɛma mo ɛserɛ pii na mo anantwie awe na mo nso mobɛdidi amee.
16 But make sure you're not that you're not fooled into worshiping and bowing down to other gods,
Monnnane mo akoma mfiri Awurade so nkɔsom anyame foforɔ.
17 or the Lord will become angry with you. He won't send any rain, and the land won't produce any crops, and you will soon die, even in the good land that the Lord is giving you.
Sɛ moyɛ saa a, Awurade Abufuo no bɛhuru atia mo. Ɔbɛto ɔsoro mu, agyina osutɔ, na mo nnɔbaetwa ayɛ basaa. Na ntɛm so, mobɛwuwu wɔ asase a Awurade de rema mo no so.
18 Focus your minds on the words that I'm saying. Tie them on your hands as reminders and put them on your foreheads as well.
Enti, momma me nsɛm yi ntena mo akoma mu. Momfa nkyekyere mo nsa sɛ nkaedeɛ na momfa mmɔ abotire.
19 Teach them to your children and talk about them when you're at home and when you're traveling, when you lie down and when you get up.
Monkyerɛkyerɛ mo mma. Sɛ mowɔ fie anaa monam ɛkwan so, sɛ moda hɔ anaa mosɔre anɔpa a, monkyerɛkyerɛ wɔn.
20 Write them on the doorposts of your homes and on your gates,
Montwerɛ ngu mo afie aponnwa ne mo abɔntenpono ho,
21 so that as long as the earth lasts, you and your children may have long lives in the country the Lord promised to give your forefathers.
sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a, ɔsoro da so kata asase ani yi, mo ne mo mma ase bɛdɔre wɔ asase a Awurade kaa ntam sɛ ɔde bɛma mo agyanom no so.
22 If you are careful to keep all these commandments I am giving you to follow, if you love the Lord your God and follow all his ways, and hold onto him,
Monhwɛ yie na monni mmara a merehyɛ ama mo yi so; monnante Awurade, mo Onyankopɔn, akwan so na momfa mo ho mmata ne ho mfa nkyerɛ ɔdɔ a modɔ no.
23 then the Lord will drive out all these nations ahead of you, and you will take over the country from nations that are greater and stronger than you.
Ɛwom sɛ aman a wɔwɔ mo asase so yɛ den sen mo deɛ, nanso Awurade bɛpamo wɔn nyinaa.
24 Everywhere you walk will belong to you. Your territory will extend from the desert all the way to Lebanon, and from the Euphrates River to the Mediterranean Sea.
Baabiara a mode mo nan bɛtia no, asase no bɛyɛ mo dea. Mo ahyeɛ bɛyɛ ɛfiri ɛserɛ so anafoɔ kɔsi Lebanon wɔ atifi fam de firi Asubɔnten Eufrate wɔ apueeɛ fam kɔsi Ntam Po no fam.
25 No one will be able to withstand you; the Lord your God will make everyone living there absolutely terrified of you wherever you go, just as he promised you.
Obiara rentumi nsɔre ntia mo, ɛfiri sɛ, Awurade, mo Onyankopɔn, bɛto mo ho hu ne mo ho suro adi mo anim sɛdeɛ ɔhyɛɛ mo bɔ no wɔ baabiara a mobɛkɔ wɔ asase no so.
26 Look! Today I'm placing before you both a blessing and a curse.
Hwɛ, ɛnnɛ mede nhyira ne nnome resi mo anim,
27 You will receive a blessing if you obey the commandments of the Lord your God that I'm giving you today.
Sɛ modi Awurade, mo Onyankopɔn, mmara a merehyɛ ama mo ɛnnɛ yi so a, ɛbɛyɛ nhyira.
28 But you will receive a curse if you disobey the commandments of the Lord your God and don't keep to the path I'm ordering you to follow today by worshiping some other unknown gods.
Na sɛ mopo Awurade, mo Onyankopɔn mmara dane firi nʼakwan a merehyɛ mo ɛnnɛ yi so, kɔsom anyame foforɔ a, ɛbɛyɛ nnome.
29 When the Lord your God takes you into the country you are going in to occupy, announce the blessing on Mount Gerizim and the curse on Mount Ebal.
Na sɛ Awurade, mo Onyankopɔn, de mo duru asase a morekɔ so akɔfa no a, monka nhyira nsɛm mfiri Gerisim Bepɔ no so na monka nnome nsɛm nso mfiri Ebal Bepɔ so.
30 (These mountains are to the west of the Jordan, in the country of the Canaanites who live in the Arabah near Gilgal, beside the oaks of Moreh.)
Saa mmepɔ mmienu yi wɔ Asubɔnten Yordan atɔeɛ fam, asase a na Kanaanfoɔ a na wɔte Yordan subɔnhwa a ɛbɛn kuro Gilgal no te hɔ. Na wɔwɔ atɔeɛ fam a ɛbɛn More kwaeɛ no.
31 Shortly you're going to cross the Jordan to enter and occupy the country the Lord your God is giving you. When you take it over and settle there,
Moreyɛ atwa Yordan akɔtena asase a Awurade, mo Onyankopɔn, de rema mo no so. Sɛ mokɔfa saa asase no kɔtena so a,
32 make sure you follow all the rules and regulations that I'm giving you today.
monhwɛ yie na monni mmara ne ahyɛdeɛ a mede rema mo ɛnnɛ yi so.
