Deuteronomy 27
1 Moses and the Israelite elders of Israel gave these instructions to the people: Keep all the commandments I am giving you today.
Mose ne Israel mpanyimfo hyɛɛ ɔmanfo no se, “Munni mmara a mede rema mo nnɛ yi nyinaa so.
2 The day you cross the Jordan into the country the Lord your God is giving you, set up some large stones and paint them with whitewash.
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 Then write all these laws on them once you've crossed over to enter the country that the Lord your God is giving you, a land flowing with milk and honey, just as the Lord, the God of your forefathers, promised you.
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 After you've crossed the Jordan, you are to set up these stones on Mount Ebal, having painted them with whitewash, as I've ordered you to do today.
Na sɛ mutwa Yordan a, monhyehyɛ abo yi wɔ Ebal bepɔw so sɛnea merehyɛ mo nnɛ yi na momfa akaadoo nsra ho.
5 Also build a stone altar there to the Lord your God, an altar of stones. Don't use any stone tools in its construction.
Munsi afɔremuka, abo afɔremuka wɔ hɔ mma Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn no. Mommfa dade biribiara nka.
6 Build the altar of the Lord your God with uncut stones and sacrifice burnt offerings on it to the Lord your God.
Momfa abo amuamu nsi Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn no, afɔremuka no na mommɔ ɔhyew afɔre wɔ so mma Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn no.
7 That is also where you are to sacrifice and eat your peace offerings, celebrating in the presence of the Lord your God.
Mommɔ asomdwoe afɔre nso wɔ so na momfa anigye nnidi wɔ hɔ wɔ Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn no, anim.
8 Write all these laws clearly on the stones.
Monkyerɛw mmara no mu nhyehyɛe nyinaa pɛpɛɛpɛ ngu abo a wɔde akaadoo asra ho no so.”
9 Moses and the Levitical priests gave these orders to all the Israelites: “Be quiet, people of Israel, and listen! Today you have become the people of the Lord your God.
Afei, Mose ne Lewifo asɔfo kasa kyerɛɛ Israelfo no se, “Israel, monyɛ komm na muntie! Nnɛ, moabɛyɛ Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn no, manfo.
10 So obey what the Lord your God tells you, and follow commandments and regulations that I'm giving you today.”
Monyɛ osetie mma Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn no, na munni ne mmara ne nʼahyɛde a mede rema mo nnɛ yi so.”
11 That day Moses gave these orders to the people:
Saa da no ara, Mose hyɛɛ ɔmanfo no se:
12 After you've crossed the Jordan, the following tribes are to stand on Mount Gerizim to bless the people: Simeon, Levi, Judah, 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 The following tribes are to stand on Mount Ebal for the curse: Reuben, Gad, Asher, Zebulun, Dan, and Naphtali.
Ruben, Gad, Aser, Sebulon, Dan ne Naftali mmusuakuw nso nnyina Ebal bepɔw so nnome.
14 Then the Levites will shout in a loud voice so Israelite can hear:
Lewifo nteɛteɛ mu nworo ngu nnipa a wɔwɔ Israel nyinaa so se:
