Deuteronomy 23

1 None that is hurt by bursting, or that hath his priuie member cut off, shall enter into the Congregation of the Lord.

Ɔbarima a wɔasa no anaa wɔatwa ne barima akyene no mma Awurade bagua ase.

2 A bastard shall not enter into the Congregation of the Lord: euen to his tenth generation shall he not enter into the Congregation of the Lord.

Wɔn a wɔyɛ mpenamma ne wɔn aseni biara, mpo enkosi awo ntoatoaso du no, mma Awurade bagua ase.

3 The Ammonites and the Moabites shall not enter into the Congregation of the Lord: euen to their tenth generation shall they not enter into the Congregation of the Lord for euer,

Amonfo anaa Moabfo anaasɛ wɔn asefo biara, mpo enkosi awo ntoatoaso du no mu biara mma Awurade bagua ase.

4 Because they met you not with bread and water in the way, when yee came out of Egypt, and because they hyred against thee Balaam the sonne of Beor, of Pethor in Aram-naharaim, to curse thee.

Saa aman yi annye mo, amma mo aduan anaasɛ nsu, bere a mufi Misraim reba no. Mmom, wɔkɔbɔɔ Beor babarima Balaam a ofi Petor a ɛwɔ Mesopotamia paa sɛ ɔmmɛdome mo.

5 Neuerthelesse, the Lord thy God would not hearken vnto Balaam, but the Lord thy God turned the curse to a blessing vnto thee, because the Lord thy God loued thee.

Nanso Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn no, antie Balaam. Ɔdan nnome no maa ɛyɛɛ nhyira maa mo, efisɛ Awurade mo Nyankopɔn no, dɔ mo.

6 Thou shalt not seeke their peace nor their prosperitie all thy dayes for euer.

Na sɛ mote ase yi, mo ne Amonfo ne Moabfo nnyɛ ayɔnkofa apam koraa.

7 Thou shalt not abhorre an Edomite: for he is thy brother, neither shalt thou abhorre an Egyptian, because thou wast a strager in his land.

Munnkyi Edomfo anaa Misraimfo, efisɛ Edomfo yɛ mo nuanom, na motenaa Misraimfo nso mu sɛ ahɔho.

8 The children that are begotten of them in their thirde generation, shall enter into the Congregation of the Lord.

Wɔn awo ntoatoaso abiɛsa so mma no betumi akɔ Awurade bagua ase.

9 When thou goest out with the host against thine enemies, keepe thee then from all wickednesse.

Sɛ mokɔ ɔko de tia mo atamfo a, montwe mo ho mfi nea ɛho ntew biara ho.

10 If there be among you any that is vncleane by that which commeth to him by night, he shall goe out of the hoste, and shall not enter into the hoste,

Sɛ ɔbarima bi ho gu fi esiane anadwo mu ho nsu a ɛsen a, ɛsɛ sɛ ofi atenae hɔ kɔtena baabi da mu no nyinaa.

11 But at euen he shall wash him selfe with water, and when the sunne is downe, he shall enter into the hoste.

Edu anwummere a, ɛsɛ sɛ oguare na owia kɔtɔ a, otumi san ba atenae hɔ.

12 Thou shalt haue a place also without the hoste whither thou shalt resort,

Muntwa asraafo atenae hɔ baabi nto hɔ a mubegya mo anan.

13 And thou shalt haue a paddle among thy weapons, and when thou wouldest sit downe without, thou shalt shalt digge therewith, and returning thou shalt couer thine excrements.

Mofa biribi nka ne nneɛma ho a mode betu fam. Bere biara a mubegya mo anan no, momfa sofi no ntu amoa na monkata agyanan no so.

14 For the Lord thy God walketh in the mids of thy campe to deliuer thee, and to giue thee thine enemies before thee: therefore thine hoste shalbe holy, that he see no filthie thing in thee and turne away from thee.

Ɛsɛ sɛ asraafo atenae hɔ yɛ kronkron, efisɛ Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn no, nam mo atenae no so bɔ mo ho ban na moadi mo atamfo so nkonim. Ɛnsɛ sɛ ohu animguasede biara wɔ mo mu; sɛ ɛba saa a, ɔbɛdan nʼakyi akyerɛ mo.

15 Thou shalt not deliuer the seruant vnto his master, which is escaped from his master vnto thee.

Sɛ nkoa guan ba mo nkyɛn bɛbɔ wɔn ho aguaa a, munnyi wɔn mma wɔn wuranom.

16 He shall dwell with thee, euen among you, in what place he shall chuse, in one of thy cities where it liketh him best: thou shalt not vexe him.

Momma wɔntena mo mu wɔ kurow biara a wɔpɛ so a monnyɛ wɔn ayayade.

17 There shalbe no whore of the daughters of Israel, neither shall there be a whore keeper of the sonnes of Israel.

Ɛnsɛ sɛ Israelni barima anaa ɔbea biara yɛ nsɔree so oguamanfo.

18 Thou shalt neyther bring the hyre of a whore, nor the price of a dogge into the house of the Lord thy God for any vow: for euen both these are abomination vnto the Lord thy God.

Mommfa afɔrebɔde anaa adenya bi a efi oguamanfo nkyɛn, sɛ ɔyɛ ɔbarima anaa ɔbea, mma Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn no, fi, efisɛ ɛyɛ Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn no, akyiwade.

19 Thou shalt not giue to vsurie to thy brother: as vsurie of money, vsurie of meate, vsurie of any thing that is put to vsurie.

Bosea a mobɔ mo yɔnko Israelni no, sɛ ɛyɛ sika, aduan anaa biribi foforo bi a wogye ho mfɛntom no, monnnye ho mfɛntom.

20 Vnto a stranger thou mayest lend vpon vsurie, but thou shalt not lend vpon vsurie vnto thy brother, that the Lord thy God may blesse thee in all that thou settest thine hand to, in the land whither thou goest to possesse it.

Mutumi gye bosea ho mfɛntom fi ahɔho nkyɛn na nyɛ Israelfo nkyɛn sɛnea Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn no, behyira mo wɔ biribiara a moyɛ mu wɔ asase a morekɔ so akɔfa no so.

21 When thou shalt vowe a vowe vnto the Lord thy God, thou shalt not be slacke to paye it: for the Lord thy God will surely require it of thee, and so it should be sinne vnto thee.

Sɛ mohyɛ Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn no, bɔ a, biribiara a mohyɛɛ no ho bɔ no, monyɛ no ntɛm so. Efisɛ ɛdan dɛn ara a Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn no, bɛdan mo ka na mubedi bɔne ho fɔ.

22 But when thou absteinest from vowing, it shalbe no sinne vnto thee.

Nanso sɛ moanhyɛ biribiara ho bɔ a, monyɛɛ bɔne biara.

23 That which is gone out of thy lippes, thou shalt keepe and performe, as thou hast vowed it willingly vnto the Lord thy God: for thou hast spoken it with thy mouth.

Na sɛ wo ara wufi wo pɛ mu hyɛ bɔ a, hwɛ yiye na di asɛm a woaka no so, efisɛ Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn no, na woafi wo pɛ mu de wʼano ahyɛ no bɔ.

24 When thou commest vnto thy neighbours vineyard, then thou mayest eate grapes at thy pleasure, as much as thou wilt: but thou shalt put none in thy vessell.

Wutumi di bobe aba dodow biara a wopɛ wɔ wo yɔnko bobeturo mu, nanso mfa bi ngu kɛntɛn mu nkɔ.

25 When thou commest into thy neighbours corne thou mayest plucke the eares with thine hand, but thou shalt not moue a sickle to thy neighbours corne.

Saa ara na mubetumi de mo nsa abubu atoko kakra wɔ mo yɔnko afum, nanso ɛnsɛ sɛ mode afoa twa.
