Deuteronomy 16

1 Observe the month of Abib, and keep the passover to the LORD your God: for in the month of Abib the LORD your God brought you forth out of Egypt by night.

Daa monni Twam Afahyɛ no wɔ ɔbosome Abib no mu mma Awurade, mo Onyankopɔn, ɛfiri sɛ, ɔbosome Abib mu ɛda bi anadwo na Onyankopɔn yii mo firii Misraim.

2 You shall therefore sacrifice the passover to the LORD your God, of the flock and the herd, in the place which the LORD shall choose to place his name there.

Monkum anantwie anaa nnwan sɛ Twam Afahyɛ afɔrebɔdeɛ mma Awurade, mo Onyankopɔn, wɔ baabi a Awurade bɛyi sɛ atenaeɛ wɔ ne din mu.

3 You shall eat no leavened bread with it; seven days shall you eat unleavened bread therewith, even the bread of affliction; for you came forth out of the land of Egypt in haste: that you may remember the day when you came forth out of the land of Egypt all the days of your life.

Monnni burodo a mmɔreka wɔ mu; monni burodo a mmɔreka nni mu nnanson, ɛfiri sɛ, ɔherɛ so na mofirii Misraim sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a, mo nkwa nna nyinaa mobɛkae ɛberɛ a motu firii Misraim no.

4 And there shall be no leavened bread seen with you in all your coast seven days; neither shall there any thing of the flesh, which you sacrificed the first day at even, remain all night until the morning.

Mommma wɔnhunu mmɔreka wɔ mo nkyɛn wɔ mo nsase nyinaa so nnanson. Mommma ɛnam a mode bɔɔ afɔdeɛ ɛda a ɛdi ɛkan no anwummerɛ no nnka ogya so nkɔsi anɔpa.

5 You may not sacrifice the passover within any of your gates, which the LORD your God gives you:

Monnni Twam Afahyɛ no wɔ nkuro a Awurade, mo Onyankopɔn, de rema mo no so.

6 But at the place which the LORD your God shall choose to place his name in, there you shall sacrifice the passover at even, at the going down of the sun, at the season that you came forth out of Egypt.

Baabi a Awurade mo Onyankopɔn bɛyi sɛ wɔnkamfo ne din wɔ hɔ no na monni Twam Afahyɛ no. Sɛ owia rekɔtɔ a na monni mfa nkae mo Misraim firi berɛ no.

7 And you shall roast and eat it in the place which the LORD your God shall choose: and you shall turn in the morning, and go to your tents.

Montoto na monwe no wɔ faako a Awurade, mo Onyankopɔn, bɛyi ama mo no. Na adeɛ kye a, monkɔ mo ntomadan mu.

8 Six days you shall eat unleavened bread: and on the seventh day shall be a solemn assembly to the LORD your God: you shall do no work therein.

Nnansia na momfa nni burodo a wɔmfaa mmɔreka mfraeɛ. Na ne nnanson so, nnipa no nyinaa nhyia wɔ Awurade, mo Onyankopɔn, anim. Na saa ɛda no, obiara nnyɛ adwuma.

9 Seven weeks shall you number to you: begin to number the seven weeks from such time as you begin to put the sickle to the corn.

Ɛberɛ a wɔrebɛfiri aseɛ atwa aburoo no na monkan nnanson no.

10 And you shall keep the feast of weeks to the LORD your God with a tribute of a freewill offering of your hand, which you shall give to the LORD your God, according as the LORD your God has blessed you:

Monni Nnapɛn Dapɔnna ma Awurade, mo Onyankopɔn, na mommɔ ayamyɛ afɔdeɛ sɛdeɛ nhyira a Awurade, mo Onyankopɔn, ahyira mo no sɛso so.

11 And you shall rejoice before the LORD your God, you, and your son, and your daughter, and your manservant, and your maidservant, and the Levite that is within your gates, and the stranger, and the fatherless, and the widow, that are among you, in the place which the LORD your God has chosen to place his name there.

Na monnye mo ani wɔ Awurade, mo Onyankopɔn, anim wɔ baabi a ɔbɛyi sɛ atenaeɛ a wɔbɛkamfo ne din no—mone no mo mmammarima ne mo mmammaa, mo nkoa ne mo mfenaa, Lewifoɔ a wɔwɔ mo nkuro mu ne ahɔhoɔ, nwisiaa ne akunafoɔ a wɔne mo teɛ.

12 And you shall remember that you were a slave in Egypt: and you shall observe and do these statutes.

Monkae sɛ, na moyɛ nkoa wɔ Misraim enti monhwɛ yie na monni saa mmara yi nyinaa so.

13 You shall observe the feast of tabernacles seven days, after that you have gathered in your corn and your wine:

Sɛ moboaboa mo ayuporobea ne mo nsakyimena mu adeɛ ano wie a, momfa nnanson nni Asese Afahyɛ no.

14 And you shall rejoice in your feast, you, and your son, and your daughter, and your manservant, and your maidservant, and the Levite, the stranger, and the fatherless, and the widow, that are within your gates.

Saa afahyɛ yi bɛyɛ ahotɔ ne ahosɛpɛ berɛ ama mo ne mo abusuafoɔ, mo asomfoɔ ne Lewifoɔ, ahɔhoɔ, nwisiaa ne akunafoɔ a wɔfiri mo nkuro mu.

15 Seven days shall you keep a solemn feast to the LORD your God in the place which the LORD shall choose: because the LORD your God shall bless you in all your increase, and in all the works of your hands, therefore you shall surely rejoice.

Nnanson na momfa nni saa afahyɛ yi mfa nhyɛ Awurade, mo Onyankopɔn, animuonyam wɔ baabi a ɔbɛyi, ɛfiri sɛ, Awurade mo Onyankopɔn na ɔma mo mfudeɛ bɔ pii na ɔhyira mo nnwuma nyinaa so. Saa afahyɛ yi yɛ ahosɛpɛ ma obiara.

16 Three times in a year shall all your males appear before the LORD your God in the place which he shall choose; in the feast of unleavened bread, and in the feast of weeks, and in the feast of tabernacles: and they shall not appear before the LORD empty:

Afe biara mu, ɛsɛ sɛ mo mmarima hyia wɔ mo Awurade, mo Onyankopɔn anim baabi a ɔbɛyi no mprɛnsa de ma Apiti Afahyɛ, Otwa berɛ Afahyɛ ne Asese Afahyɛ no. Ɛnsɛ sɛ obiara ba Awurade anim nsapan.

17 Every man shall give as he is able, according to the blessing of the LORD your God which he has given you.

Obiara mma deɛ ne nsa bɛso so wɔ sɛdeɛ Awurade mo Onyankopɔn ahyira no.

18 Judges and officers shall you make you in all your gates, which the LORD your God gives you, throughout your tribes: and they shall judge the people with just judgment.

Monsisi atemmufoɔ ne mpanimfoɔ mfiri mo mmusuakuo biara mu wɔ nkuro a Awurade, mo Onyankopɔn de rema mo no mu. Wɔbɛbu atɛntenenee wɔ nsase no nyinaa so.

19 You shall not wrest judgment; you shall not respect persons, neither take a gift: for a gift does blind the eyes of the wise, and pervert the words of the righteous.

Mommmu ntɛnkyea da biara da. Monnnye adanmudeɛ, ɛfiri sɛ, adanmudeɛ fira anyansafoɔ ani ma wɔsi gyinaeɛ de tia onyamesuroni asɛm.

20 That which is altogether just shall you follow, that you may live, and inherit the land which the LORD your God gives you.

Momma asɛntenenee nna adi sɛdeɛ ɛbɛma moatumi atena asase a Awurade mo Onyankopɔn de rema mo no so.

21 You shall not plant you a grove of any trees near to the altar of the LORD your God, which you shall make you.

Monnsisi nnua biara sɛ abosompɔ wɔ Awurade mo Onyankopɔn afɔrebukyia a morebɛsi ama no no ho.

22 Neither shall you set you up any image; which the LORD your God hates.

Saa ara nso na monnsi aboɔ adum nsom wɔn, ɛfiri sɛ, ɛyɛ Awurade mo Onyankopɔn akyiwadeɛ.
