Deuteronomy 7

1 When the Lord thy God shall bring thee into the land whither thou goest to possesse it, and shall roote out many nations before thee: the Hittites, and the Girgashites, and the Amorites, and the Canaanites, and the Perizzites, and the Hiuites, and the Iebusites, seuen nations greater and mightier then thou,

Sɛ Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn, de mo ba asase a morebɛkɔ akɔtena so no so, na ɔpam amanaman pii a wɔwɔ mo anim, a wɔyɛ Hetifo, Girgasifo, Amorifo, Kanaanfo, Perisifo, Hewifo ne Yebusifo, aman ason a wɔwɔ so na wɔyɛ den sen mo,

2 And the Lord thy God shall giue them before thee, then thou shalt smite them: thou shalt vtterly destroy them: thou shalt make no couenant with them, nor haue compassion on them,

na Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn, de saa aman yi hyɛ mo nsa na mudi wɔn so a, monsɛe wɔn pasapasa. Mo ne wɔn nhyehyɛ apam biara na munnhu wɔn mmɔbɔ.

3 Neither shalt thou make marriages with them, neither giue thy daughter vnto his sonne, nor take his daughter vnto thy sonne.

Mo ne wɔn nni aware na mommma mo mmabea ne mo mmabarima nware wɔn mmabarima ne wɔn mmabea.

4 For they wil cause thy sonne to turne away from me, and to serue other gods: then will the wrath of the Lord waxe hote against you and destroy thee suddenly.

Efisɛ wɔbɛma mo mma asan afi mʼakyi akɔsom wɔn anyame foforo. Na Awurade abufuw bɛdɛw atia mo na wasɛe mo ntɛm.

5 But thus ye shall deale with them, Ye shall ouerthrowe their altars, and breake downe their pillars, and ye shall cut downe their groues, and burne their grauen images with fire.

Nea ɛsɛ sɛ moyɛ wɔn ne sɛ, mummubu wɔn afɔremuka na munnwiriw wɔn abosom adum no ngu. Muntwitwa wɔn abosompɔw ngu na monhyew wɔn ahoni.

6 For thou art an holy people vnto the Lord thy God, the Lord thy God hath chosen thee, to be a precious people vnto himselfe, aboue all people that are vpon the earth.

Na moyɛ nnipa kronkron a moyɛ, Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn no, de. Nnipa a wɔwɔ asase so nyinaa mu no, mo na Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn, ayi mo sɛ nʼagyapade a ɛsom no bo.

7 The Lord did not set his loue vpon you, nor chose you, because ye were more in number then any people: for ye were the fewest of all people:

Ɛnyɛ sɛ modɔɔso sen nnipa a aka no nti na Awurade anya mo ho dɔ no, mo na na musua koraa wɔ nnipa no nyinaa mu.

8 But because the Lord loued you, and because hee would keepe the othe which hee had sworne vnto your fathers, the Lord hath brought you out by a mightie hand, and deliuered you out of the house of bondage from the hand of Pharaoh King of Egypt,

Na mmom, Awurade dɔɔ mo na odii ne ntam a ɔka kyerɛɛ mo agyanom sɛ ɔde ne nsa a tumi wɔ mu no beyi wɔn afi nkoasom asase so ne Misraimhene Farao tumi ase no.

9 That thou mayest knowe, that the Lord thy God, he is God, the faithfull God which keepeth couenant and mercie vnto them that loue him and keepe his commandements, euen to a thousand generations,

Enti munhu sɛ, Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn, yɛ Onyankopɔn; ɔyɛ nokware Nyankopɔn a odi wɔn a wɔdɔ no na wodi nʼahyɛde so no dɔ apam so kosi awo ntoatoaso apem so.

10 And rewardeth them to their face that hate him, to bring them to destruction: he wil not deferre to reward him that hateth him, to his face.

Nanso, ɔntwentwɛn na ɔtwe wɔn a wokyi no no aso, sɛe wɔn.

11 Keepe thou therefore the commandements, and the ordinances, and the lawes, which I commaund thee this day to doe them.

Ɛno nti, monhwɛ yiye na munni ahyɛde ne mmara a mede rema mo nnɛ yi nyinaa so.

12 For if ye hearken vnto these lawes, and obserue and doe them, then the Lord thy God shall keepe with thee the couenant, and the mercie which he sware vnto thy fathers.

Sɛ mutie mmara yi na mudi ne nyinaa so nokware mu a, Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn no, nso bedi nʼapam a ofi ne nokware dɔ mu ne mo agyanom pamee no so.

13 And he wil loue thee, and blesse thee, and multiplie thee: he will also blesse the fruite of thy wombe, and the fruite of thy land, thy corne and thy wine, and thine oyle and the increase of thy kine, and the flockes of thy sheepe in the land, which he sware vnto thy fathers to giue thee.

Ɔbɛdɔ mo na wahyira mo na wama mo ase afɛe. Obehyira mo yafunu mu ade; mo asase so nnɔbae, mo atoko, nsa foforo ne ngodua, mo nantwimma ne nguamma wɔ asase a ɔkaa ho ntam kyerɛɛ mo agyanom se ɔde bɛma mo no so.

14 Thou shalt be blessed aboue all people: there shall be neither male nor female barren among you, nor among your cattell.

Wobehyira mo akyɛn aman a wɔwɔ asase so no nyinaa. Mo mmarima renyɛ asaadwe na mo mmea nso renyɛ abonin na mo nyɛmmoa nso bɛwowo.

15 Moreouer, the Lord will take away from thee all infirmities, and will put none of the euill diseases of Egypt (which thou knowest) vpon thee, but wil send them vpon all that hate thee.

Na Awurade bɛbɔ mo ho ban afi ɔyare nyinaa ho. Ɔremma owuyare a bi bɔɔ mo wɔ Misraim no bi mmɔ mo na ɔde saa ɔyare no nyinaa begu mo atamfo so.

16 Thou shalt therefore consume all people which the Lord thy God shall giue thee: thine eye shall not spare them, neither shalt thou serue their gods, for that shalbe thy destruction.

Monsɛe aman a Awurade mo Nyankopɔn de bɛhyɛ mo nsa no nyinaa. Munhu wɔn mmɔbɔ na monnsom wɔn anyame. Sɛ moyɛ saa a, ebesum mo afiri.

17 If thou say in thine heart, These nations are moe then I, how can I cast them out?

Mubebisa mo ho se, “Na sɛ saa aman yi yɛ den kyɛn yɛn. Ɛbɛyɛ dɛn na yɛatumi apam wɔn?”

18 Thou shalt not feare them, but remember what the Lord thy God did vnto Pharaoh, and vnto all Egypt:

Nanso munnsuro wɔn. Monkae ade a Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn, de yɛɛ Farao ne ne manfo nyinaa wɔ Misraim no.

19 The great tentations which thine eyes sawe, and the signes and wonders, and the mighty hand and stretched out arme, whereby the Lord thy God brought thee out: so shall the Lord thy God do vnto all ye people, whose face thou fearest.

Mode mo ankasa mo ani huu amanehunu, nsɛnkyerɛnne a ɛyɛ hu ne anwonwasɛm a ɛbaa wɔn so, tumi nsa ne abasa a wɔatrɛw mu a Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn, nam so yii mo fii hɔ no. Nnipa a musuro wɔn mprempren no, Awurade Nyankopɔn de wɔn bɛfa saa ɔkwan koro no ara so.

20 Moreouer, the Lord thy God will send hornets among them vntil they that are left, and hide themselues from thee, be destroyed.

Ɛno akyi no, Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn, bɛma mpenaa abɛpam kakra a wɔaka no afi wɔn ahintawee mu kosi sɛ wɔn ase bɛtɔre.

21 Thou shalt not feare them: for the Lord thy God is among you, a God mightie and dreadful.

Munnsuro saa aman no, efisɛ Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn, a ɔso na ne ho yɛ nwonwa no wɔ mo afa.

22 And the Lord thy God wil roote out these nations before thee by little and little: thou mayest not consume them at once, least the beasts of the fielde increase vpon thee.

Nkakrankakra, Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn, bedi mo anim kan apam saa aman no. Ɔrenyi wɔn nyinaa mfi hɔ prɛko pɛ; anyɛ saa a, nkekaboa no ase bɛdɔ ntɛm na wɔaba mo so.

23 But the Lord thy God shall giue them before thee, and shall destroy them with a mightie destruction, vntill they be brought to naught.

Nanso Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn, de wɔn bɛhyɛ mo nsa, na ɔbɛma wɔn adwene ayɛ basabasa akosi sɛ ɔbɛsɛe wɔn.

24 And he shall deliuer their Kings into thine hand, and thou shalt destroy their name from vnder heauen: there shall no man be able to stand before thee, vntill thou hast destroyed them.

Ɔde wɔn ahemfo bɛhyɛ mo nsa na mobɛpepa wɔn din afi ɔsoro ase. Obiara rentumi nsɔre ntia mo; mobɛsɛe wɔn.

25 The grauen images of their gods shall ye burne with fire, and couet not the siluer and golde, that is on them, nor take it vnto thee, least thou be snared therewith: for it is an abomination before the Lord thy God.

Momfa ogya nhyew wɔn anyame ahoni no. Mommma mo ani mmere dwetɛ anaa sikakɔkɔɔ a egugu so no na mommfa; anyɛ saa a ɛbɛyɛ mfiri ayi mo, efisɛ ɛyɛ Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn, akyiwade.

26 Bring not therefore abomination into thine house, lest, thou be accursed like it, but vtterly abhorre it, and count it most abominable: for it is accursed.

Mommfa akyiwade biara mma mo fi na wɔanyi mo angu nkyɛn amma ɔsɛe sɛ ɛno ara pɛ. Munhu no sɛ enye a wokyi korakora; efisɛ wɔayi ato hɔ ama ɔsɛe.
