Deuteronomy 26

1 Also when thou shalt come into the lande which the Lord thy God giueth thee for inheritance, and shalt possesse it, and dwell therein,

Sɛ mudu asase a Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn no, de rebɛma mo sɛ mo agyapade no so na moko gye, na motena so a,

2 Then shalt thou take of the first of all the fruite of the earth, and bring it out of the lande that the Lord thy God giueth thee, and put it in a basket, and goe vnto the place, which the Lord thy God shall chose to place his Name there.

momfa otwakan wɔ otwabere biara mu no ngu kɛntɛn mu na momfa mmra baabi a Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn no, bɛpaw sɛ wɔnkamfo ne din wɔ hɔ no,

3 And thou shalt come vnto the Priest, that shall be in those dayes, and say vnto him, I acknowledge this day vnto the Lord thy God, that I am come vnto the countrey which the Lord sware vnto our fathers for to giue vs.

na monkɔ ɔsɔfo a ɔwɔ hɔ saa bere no nkyɛn nkɔka nkyerɛ no se, “Meda no adi nnɛ akyerɛ Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn no, sɛ Awurade de me aba asase a ɔkaa ho ntam kyerɛɛ yɛn agyanom no so.”

4 Then the Priest shall take the basket out of thine hand, and set it downe before the altar of the Lord thy God.

Afei, ɔsɔfo no begye kɛntɛn no afi wo nsam de asi Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn no, afɔremuka no anim.

5 And thou shalt answere and say before the Lord thy God, A Syrian was my father, who being ready to perish for hunger, went downe into Egypt, and soiourned there with a small company, and grew there vnto a nation great, mightie and full of people.

Na wobɛka saa nsɛm yi wɔ Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn no, anim sɛ, “Na me tete agya Yakob yɛ ɔkwantuni Aramni a ɔkɔtenaa Misraim. Nʼabusua no yɛ ketewaa bi, nanso Misraim hɔ no, wɔdɔɔso bebree bɛyɛɛ ɔman kɛse.

6 And the Egyptians vexed vs, and troubled vs, and laded vs with cruell bondage.

Bere a Misraimfo dii yɛn nya nam so ma yɛyɛɛ wɔn nkoa no,

7 But when we cried vnto the Lord God of our fathers, the Lord heard our voyce, and looked on our aduersitie, and on our labour, and on our oppression.

yesu frɛɛ Awurade, yɛn agyanom Nyankopɔn no. Ɔtee yɛn sufrɛ na ohuu yɛn amanehunu, ɔbrɛ ne ɔhyɛ a na yɛwɔ mu.

8 And the Lord brought vs out of Egypt in a mightie hande, and a stretched out arme, with great terriblenesse, both in signes and wonders.

Enti Awurade nam tumi a ɛyɛ nwonwa, ehu a emu yɛ den, nsɛnkyerɛnne a epusuw nnipa ne anwonwasɛm so gyee yɛn fii Misraim.

9 And he hath brought vs into this place, and hath giuen vs this land, euen a lande that floweth with milke and hony.

Ɔde yɛn baa ha na ɔde asase yi a nufusu ne ɛwo resen so yi maa yɛn.

10 And now, lo, I haue brought ye first fruites of the land which thou, O Lord, hast giuen me, and thou shalt set it before the Lord thy God, and worship before the Lord thy God:

Afei, Awurade, mede akyɛde a ɛyɛ mʼaduankan a wode fi asase mu maa me no rebrɛ wo.” Afei, fa aduan no si Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn no, anim na sɔre no.

11 And thou shalt reioyce in all the good things which the Lord thy God hath giuen vnto thee and to thine houshold, thou and the Leuite, and the stranger that is among you.

Afei, kɔ na wo ne Lewifo ne ahɔho a wɔte mo mu no nkogye mo ani wɔ nneɛma pa a Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn no, de ama wo ne wo fifo no ho.

12 When thou hast made an end of tithing all the tythes of thine increase, the thirde yeere, which is the yeere of tithing, and hast giuen it vnto the Leuite, to the stranger, to the fatherlesse, and to the widowe, that they may eate within thy gates, and be satisfied,

Afe a ɛto so abiɛsa a ɛyɛ ntotoso du du afe a woayi wo nnɔbae so ntotoso du du awie no ɛsɛ sɛ mode ma Lewifo, ahɔho, nyisaa ne akunafo sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a wobedidi amee wɔ mo nkurow so.

13 Then thou shalt say before the Lord thy God, I haue brought the halowed thing out of mine house, and also haue giuen it vnto the Leuites and to the strangers, to the fatherlesse, and to the widow, according to all thy comandements which thou hast commanded me: I haue transgressed none of thy comandements, nor forgotten them.

Afei, mompae mu nka wɔ Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn no, anim se, “Mede akyɛde kronkron a efi me fi ama Lewifo, ahɔho, nyisaa ne akunafo sɛnea wohyɛɛ me no. Mimmuu wʼahyɛde bi so anaa me werɛ mfii wo mmara no mu biara ɛ.

14 I haue not eaten therof in my mourning, nor suffred ought to perish through vncleannes, nor giuen ought thereof for the dead, but haue hearkened vnto the voyce of the Lord my God: I haue done after al that thou hast comaded me.

Manni akronkronne no bi bere a meretwa adwo no, na bere a na me ho ntew no nso, mamfa me nsa anka bi; na mamfa mu bi nso amma awufo. Matie Awurade, me Nyankopɔn no, na mayɛ biribiara a wohyɛɛ me sɛ menyɛ no.

15 Looke downe from thine holy habitation, euen from heauen, and blesse thy people Israel, and the lande which thou hast giuen vs (as thou swarest vnto our fathers) the land that floweth with milke and hony.

Fi wo soro tenabea kronkron hɔ hwɛ fam na hyira wo nkurɔfo Israel ne asase a wode ama yɛn no—asase a nufusu ne ɛwo resen wɔ so sɛnea wode ntam hyɛɛ yɛn agyanom bɔ no.”

16 This day the Lord thy God doeth command thee to do these ordinances, and lawes: keepe them therefore, and do them with al thine heart, and with all thy soule.

Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn no, hyɛ mo nnɛ sɛ, munni saa ahyɛde ne mmara yi nyinaa so; momfa mo koma ne mo kra nyinaa nni so pɛpɛɛpɛ.

17 Thou hast set vp the Lord this day to be thy God, and to walke in his wayes, and to keepe his ordinances, and his commandements, and his lawes, and to hearken vnto his voyce.

Moapae mu aka no nnɛ se, Awurade yɛ, mo Nyankopɔn, na mobɛnantew nʼakwan so na mubedi ne mmara so ayɛ osetie ama no.

18 And the Lord hath set thee vp this day, to be a precious people vnto him (as hee hath promised thee) and that thou shouldest keepe all his commandements,

Na Awurade aka no nnɛ se, moyɛ ne nkurɔfo, nʼagyapade a ne koma da ho sɛnea ɔhyɛɛ bɔ no; ɛno nti, ɛsɛ sɛ mudi nʼahyɛde nyinaa so.

19 And to make thee high aboue al nations (which he hath made) in praise, and in name, and in glory, and that thou shouldest be an holy people vnto the Lord thy God, as he hath said.

Na sɛ moyɛ saa a, ɔbɛyɛ mo kɛse asen ɔman biara. Afei, mubenya nkamfo ne anuonyam a ɛboro aman a wayɛ no nyinaa de so. Mobɛyɛ ɔman a ɛyɛ kronkron ama Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn no, sɛnea ɔhyɛɛ bɔ no.
