Leviticus 26

1 Ye shall make you none idoles nor grauen image, neither reare you vp any pillar, neither shall ye set any image of stone in your land to bow downe to it: for I am the Lord your God.

“‘Monnyɛ abosom. Munnsisi ahoni anaa abo mma mo ho. Mommfa abo a wɔatwa nsisi mo asase so sɛ morebɛkotow wɔn. Mene Awurade mo Nyankopɔn no.

2 Ye shall keepe my Sabbaths, and reuerence my Sanctuarie: I am the Lord.

“‘Ɛsɛ sɛ mudi me Homeda, na mode nidi ma me kronkronbea. Mene Awurade.

3 If ye walke in mine ordinances, and keepe my commandements, and doe them,

“‘Sɛ mudi me mmara no nyinaa so a,

4 I will then sende you raine in due season, and the land shall yelde her increase, and the trees of the fielde shall giue her fruite.

daa mɛtɔ osu ama mo ama mo nnɔbae ayɛ yiye abu so, na mo nnua nso bɛsow aba a ɛbɛkyɛ wɔ nnua no so.

5 And your threshing shall reache vnto the vintage, and the vintage shall reache vnto sowing time, and you shall eate your bread in plenteousnesse, and dwell in your land safely.

Na sɛ edu odua bere so bio koraa a, mo borɔdɔma bɛkɔ so abere. Mubedidi amee na moatena asase no so asomdwoe mu.

6 And I will sende peace in the land, and ye shall sleepe and none shall make you afraid: also I will rid euill beastes out of the lande, and the sworde shall not go through your lande.

“‘Mɛma mo asomdwoe, na mɛma mo ada a munnsuro hwee. Mɛpam mmoa bɔne afi mo ho.

7 Also ye shall chase your enemies, and they shall fall before you vpon the sworde.

Mobɛtaa mo atamfo; na wobewuwu wɔ mo afoa ano.

8 And fiue of you shall chase an hundreth, and an hundreth of you shall put ten thousande to flight, and your enemies shall fall before you vpon the sworde.

Mo mu baanum bɛka ɔha agu, na mo mu ɔha aka mpem du agu! Mo atamfo bɛtotɔ wɔ afoa ano wɔ mo anim.

9 For I will haue respect vnto you, and make you encrease, and multiplie you, and establish my couenant with you.

“‘Mɛhwɛ mo so na mama mo adɔ, na madi apam a me ne mo pamee no so.

10 Ye shall eate also olde store, and cary out olde because of the newe.

Mo nnɔbae bebu so a sɛ otwabere foforo du so a, morenhu nea mode bɛyɛ.

11 And I will set my Tabernacle among you, and my soule shall not lothe you.

Na mɛtena mo mu, na merenkyi mo.

12 Also I will walke among you, and I wil be your God, and ye shalbe my people.

Me ne mo bɛnantew, na mayɛ mo Nyankopɔn, na moayɛ me nkurɔfo.

13 I am the Lord your God which haue brought you out of the lande of Egypt, that yee should not be their bondmen, and I haue broken ye bonds of your yoke, and made you goe vpright.

Mene Awurade mo Nyankopɔn a ɔde mo fi Misraim asase so bae sɛnea morenyɛ Misraimfo nkoa bio no. Mibubuu mo konnua nkɔnsɔnkɔnsɔn, na ɛma mo anantew anuonyam so.

14 But if ye will not obey me, nor do all these commandements,

“‘Na sɛ moantie me, anni mʼasɛm so,

15 And if ye shall despise mine ordinances, either if your soule abhorre my lawes, so that yee will not do all my commandements, but breake my couenant,

na mopo mʼahyɛde ne me mmara na moanni so, bu mʼapam so a,

16 Then wil I also do this vnto you, I wil appoint ouer you fearefulnes, a consumption, and the burning ague to consume the eyes, and make the heart heauie, and you shall sowe your seede in vaine: for your enemies shall eate it:

nea mɛyɛ mo ni: Mɛma mo koma atutu na mama nsamanwaw ayɛ mo, na atiridiinini abɔ mo. Mo ani betutu, na mo nkwa so ahuan. Mubedua nnɔbae agu kwa, efisɛ mo atamfo na wobedi.

17 And I will set my face against you, and ye shall fal before your enemies, and they that hate you, shall raigne ouer you, and yee shall flee when none pursueth you.

Meyi mʼani afi mo so, na moaguan afi mo atamfo anim. Wɔn a wɔtan mo no bedi mo so. Mubeguan bere a obiara ntaa mo mpo.

18 And if ye wil not for these things obey me, then wil I punish you seuen times more, according to your sinnes,

“‘Na sɛ mokɔ so yɛ asoɔden a, mɛtwe mo bɔne no so aso mmɔho ason.

19 And I wil breake the pride of your power, and I will make your heauen as yron, and your earth as brasse:

Mɛsɛe mo ahantan tumi no na mayɛ mo soro sɛ dade ne mo fam sɛ kɔbere.

20 And your strength shalbe spent in vaine: neither shall your lande giue her increase, neither shall the trees of the land giue their fruite.

Mobɛsɛe mo ahoɔden kwa, na mo asase rennya nnɔbae biara, na ɛso nnua nso rensow aba.

21 And if ye walke stubburnly against me, and will not obey mee, I will then bring seuen times more plagues vpon you, according to your sinnes.

“‘Na sɛ tie ara na morentie me a, mo bɔne nti, mede ɔyaredɔm mmɔho ason a ɛfata mo bɔne no begu mo so.

22 I will also sende wilde beastes vpon you, which shall spoyle you, and destroy your cattell, and make you fewe in number: so your hye waies shalbe desolate.

Mɛma nkekaboa abekunkum mo mma na wɔakunkum mo anantwi, na matew mo dodow so, na mo akwan bɛda mpan a obi mfa so bio.

23 Yet if by these ye will not be reformed by me, but walke stubburnly against me,

“‘Na sɛ eyi antumi ansakra mo, na mokɔ so tia mʼapɛde a,

24 Then wil I also walke stubburnly against you, and I will smite you yet seuen times for your sinnes:

me nso, metia mo apɛde, na me ara mʼankasa mɛtwe mo aso mpɛn ason wɔ mo bɔne ho.

25 And I wil send a sword vpon you, that shall auenge the quarel of my couenant: and when ye are gathered in your cities, I wil send the pestilence among you, and ye shall be deliuered into the hand of the enemie.

Menam ɔko so bebu mʼapam so ako atia mo de atua mo so ka. Mubeguan akɔ mo nkurow mu, na mede nyarewa bɛtoa mo wɔ hɔ. Na mo atamfo bedi mo so.

26 When I shall breake the staffe of your bread, then ten women shall bake your breade in one ouen, and they shall deliuer your bread againe by weight, and ye shall eate, but not be satisfied.

Mɛsɛe mo nnuan a mubenya nyinaa akosi sɛ mpo, fononoo baako brodo a ɛbɛto no na mmusuakuw du bedi. Aduan kakra a mubedi no akyi, ɔkɔm bɛde mo.

27 Yet if ye will not for this obey mee, but walke against me stubburnly,

“‘Na sɛ mokɔ so yɛ asoɔden a,

28 Then will I walke stubburnly in mine anger against you, and I will also chastice you seuen times more according to your sinnes.

mo bɔne nti, me bo befuw mo na matwe mo aso a emu yɛ den mmɔho ason.

29 And ye shall eate ye flesh of your sonnes, and the flesh of your daughters shall ye deuoure.

Mobɛwe mo mmabarima ne mo mmabea nam.

30 I will also destroy your hye places, and cut away your images, and cast your carkeises vpon the bodies of your idoles, and my soule shall abhorre you.

Mɛsɛe mo sorɔnsorɔmmea. Metwitwa mo aduhuam afɔremuka agu, na mahyehyɛ mo afunu wɔ mo ahoni a enni nkwa no so; na mɛpo mo.

31 And I will make your cities desolate, and bring your Sanctuarie vnto nought, and will not smelll the sauour of your sweete odours.

Mɛma mo nkurow ayɛ amamfo na masɛe baabi a mosom nyinaa, na mapo mo ohuam afɔrebɔ no.

32 I will also bring the land vnto a wildernes, and your enemies, which dwell therein, shalbe astonished thereat.

Ampa ara, mɛma mo asase so ada mpan na mo atamfo atena so, na nea mɛyɛ mo no ayɛ mo nwonwa.

33 Also I wil scatter you among the heathen, and will drawe out a sworde after you, and your land shalbe waste, and your cities shalbe desolate.

Mɛbɔ mo apete aman no a morekɔ so nyinaa so, na mede ɔko asɛe mo. Mo asase bɛda mpan na wɔasɛe mo nkurow.

34 Then shall the land inioy her Sabbaths, as long as it lieth voide, and yee shalbe in your enemies land: then shall the land rest, and enioy her Sabbaths.

Akyiri no, asase no bɛda hɔ ahome de asi mfe dodow a moamma anhome no anan; ɛbɛda hɔ wɔ mmere a mowɔ atamfo nsam wɔ wɔn nsase so no nyinaa. Na asase no ahome, na anya ne home nna nso.

35 All the dayes that it lieth voide, it shall rest, because it did not rest in your Sabbaths, when ye dwelt vpon it.

Bere a asase no da mpan nyinaa, ebenya home a moamma annya wɔ Homeda dodow a motenaa so no.

36 And vpon them that are left of you, I will send euen a faintnes into their hearts in ye land of their enemies, and the sounde of a leafeshaken shall chase them, and they shall flee as fleeing from a sword, and they shall fall, no man pursuing them.

“‘Wɔn a wogyaw wɔn hɔ a wonwui no nso, mɛma wɔatwe wɔn akɔ akyirikyiri nsase so sɛ ɔko mu nneduafo ne nkoa. Ɛhɔ na wɔbɛtena daa wɔ ehu mu. Wɔte sɛ mframa rebɔ ahaban koraa a, wobeguan te sɛ nea obi a okura afoa repam wɔn; wɔbɛhwehwe ase wɔ bere a obi ntaa wɔn.

37 They shall fall also one vpon another, as before a sword, though none pursue them, and ye shall not be able to stand before your enemies:

Obiara rentaa wɔn nanso ehu nti, wobehintihintiw wɔn ho wɔn ho te sɛnea wɔreguan afi akono a wonni tumi biara a wɔde begyina wɔn atamfo anim no.

38 And ye shall perish among the heathen, and the land of your enemies shall eate you vp.

Mobɛyera wɔ aman mu, na mo atamfo asɛe mo.

39 And they that are left of you, shall pine away for their iniquitie, in your enemies landes, and for the iniquities of their fathers shall they pine away with them also.

Wɔn a wɔbɛka no, wɔn bɔne nti, wɔn ho bɛyeraw wɔn wɔ atamfo nsase so, bɔne a wɔn agyanom yɛe no nti.

40 Then they shall confesse their iniquitie, and the wickednes of their fathers for their trespasse, which they haue trespassed against mee, and also because they haue walked stubburnly against me.

“‘Nanso akyiri no, me nkurɔfo bɛka wɔn bɔne ne wɔn agyanom bɔne. Wɔbɛka sɛnea wodii me huammɔ na wotiaa me no.

41 Therefore I wil walke stubburnly against them, and bring them into the land of their enemies: so then their vncircumcised hearts shalbe humbled, and then they shalt willingly beare the punishment of their iniquitie.

Sɛ me nso mitia wɔn sɛ nea ɛsɛ na mede wɔn kɔ wɔn atamfo asase so a, afei, wɔn komaden no ano bɛbrɛ ase, na wobetua wɔn bɔne so ka.

42 Then I will remember my couenant with Iaakob, and my couenant also with Izhak, and also my couenant with Abraham will I remember, and will remember the land.

Afei, mɛkae apam a mene Yakob, Isak ne Abraham ayɛ, na mɛkae asase no.

43 The land also in the meane season shalbe left of them, and shall enioye her Sabbaths while she lieth waste without them, but they shall willingly suffer the punishment of their iniquitie, because they despised my lawes, and because their soule abhorred mine ordinances.

Asase no da hɔ dinn no, ebedi ne homeda. Nanso akyiri no, wobenya wɔn asotwe sɛ wɔanni me nhyehyɛe so na wɔpoo mʼahyɛde.

44 Yet notwithstanding this, when they shalbe in the lande of their enemies, I wil not cast them away, neither will I abhorre them, to destroy them vtterly, nor to breake my couenant with them: for I am the Lord their God:

Na nea wɔyɛɛ no nyinaa akyi no, merensɛe wɔn ne mʼapam no korakora, efisɛ mene Awurade wɔn Nyankopɔn.

45 But I will remember for them the couenant of olde when I brought them out of ye land of Egypt in the sight of the heathen that I might be their God: I am the Lord.

Mɛkae tete apam a me ne wɔn agyanom a miyii wɔn fii Misraim, bere a amanaman nyinaa rehwɛ no yɛe no. Me Awurade ne wɔn Nyankopɔn.’”

46 These are the ordinances, and the iudgements, and the lawes, which the Lord made betweene him, and the children of Israel in mount Sinai, by the hand of Moses.

Eyinom ne mmara ne ahyɛde a Awurade nam Mose so de maa Israelfo no wɔ Sinai Bepɔw so no.
