Deuteronomy 6

1 Now these are the commandments, the statutes, and the judgments, which the LORD your God commanded to teach you, that you might do them in the land where you go to possess it:

Yeinom ne ahyɛdeɛ, mmara ne nhyehyɛeɛ a Awurade mo Onyankopɔn ka kyerɛɛ me sɛ menkyerɛ mo na monni so wɔ asase a moretwa Yordan akɔtena so no,

2 That you might fear the LORD your God, to keep all his statutes and his commandments, which I command you, you, and your son, and your son’s son, all the days of your life; and that your days may be prolonged.

sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a mo, mo mma ne wɔn mma bɛsuro Awurade mo Onyankopɔn mmerɛ dodoɔ a mote ase. Sɛ modi ne mmara ne nʼahyɛdeɛ nyinaa so a, mo nkwa nna bɛware.

3 Hear therefore, O Israel, and observe to do it; that it may be well with you, and that you may increase mightily, as the LORD God of your fathers has promised you, in the land that flows with milk and honey.

Montie, Ao Israel, na monhwɛ yie nni so sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a, ɛbɛsi mo yie na mo ase atrɛ yie wɔ asase a nufosuo ne ɛwoɔ resene wɔ so sɛdeɛ Awurade, mo agyanom Onyankopɔn, hyɛɛ mo ho bɔ no.

4 Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD:

Tie, Ao Israel, Awurade yɛn Onyankopɔn yɛ Awurade koro.

5 And you shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your might.

Dɔ Awurade wo Onyankopɔn firi wʼakoma mu nyinaa ne wo kra nyinaa mu ne wʼahoɔden nyinaa mu.

6 And these words, which I command you this day, shall be in your heart:

Momma saa mmaransɛm a mede rema wo ɛnnɛ yi ntena mo akoma mu.

7 And you shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise up.

Momfa nhyɛ mo mma mu. Sɛ mowɔ fie anaa monam ɛkwan so, sɛ moda hɔ anaa mosɔre anɔpa a, monkyerɛkyerɛ wɔn.

8 And you shall bind them for a sign on your hand, and they shall be as frontlets between your eyes.

Monkyekyere no sɛ agyinahyɛdeɛ mmɔ mo nsa na momfa bi mmɔ abotire.

9 And you shall write them on the posts of your house, and on your gates.

Montwerɛ ngu mo fie aponnwa ne mo aboboanopono ho.

10 And it shall be, when the LORD your God shall have brought you into the land which he swore to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give you great and goodly cities, which you built not,

Ɛrenkyɛre biara, Awurade mo Onyankopɔn de mo bɛba asase a ɔkaa ntam sɛ ɔde bɛma mo agyanom Abraham, Isak ne Yakob no. Ɛyɛ asase a animuonyam nkuropɔn a ɛnyɛ mo na mokyekyereeɛ ahyɛ so ma.

11 And houses full of all good things, which you filled not, and wells dig, which you digged not, vineyards and olive trees, which you planted not; when you shall have eaten and be full;

Wɔde nneɛma pa a ɛnyɛ mo na moyɛeɛ bɛhyɛ no ma. Mobɛto nsuo afiri abura a ɛnyɛ mo na motuiɛ mu, na mobɛdidi afiri turo a ɛnyɛ mo na moyɛeɛ mu ne ngo nnua a ɛnyɛ mo na moduaeɛ. Sɛ modidi mee wɔ saa asase yi so wie a,

12 Then beware lest you forget the LORD, which brought you forth out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage.

monhwɛ yie na mo werɛ amfiri Awurade a ɔgyee mo firii nkoasom mu Misraim asase so no.

13 You shall fear the LORD your God, and serve him, and shall swear by his name.

Ɛsɛ sɛ mosuro Awurade, mo Onyankopɔn, na mosom ɔno nko ara. Ne din nko ara na momfa nka ntam.

14 You shall not go after other gods, of the gods of the people which are round about you;

Monnni anyame foforɔ akyi—anyame a wɔyɛ nnipa a wɔatwa mo ho ahyia no dea;

15 (For the LORD your God is a jealous God among you) lest the anger of the LORD your God be kindled against you, and destroy you from off the face of the earth.

na Awurade mo Onyankopɔn a ɔwɔ mo ntam no yɛ Onyankopɔn ninkunfoɔ a nʼabufuhyeɛ no bɛhye mo na ɔbɛsɛe mo afiri asase so.

16 You shall not tempt the LORD your God, as you tempted him in Massah.

Monnsɔ Awurade, mo Onyankopɔn, nhwɛ sɛdeɛ moyɛeɛ ɛberɛ a na mowɔ Masa no.

17 You shall diligently keep the commandments of the LORD your God, and his testimonies, and his statutes, which he has commanded you.

Ɛsɛ sɛ modi Awurade mo Onyankopɔn ahyɛdeɛ so pɛpɛɛpɛ—monni mmara no mu nsɛm nyinaa so sɛdeɛ ɔde ama mo no.

18 And you shall do that which is right and good in the sight of the LORD: that it may be well with you, and that you may go in and possess the good land which the LORD swore to your fathers.

Monyɛ deɛ ɛtene na ɛyɛ wɔ Awurade ani so na biribiara awie mo yie. Na moakɔ akɔtena asase pa a Awurade hyɛɛ ho bɔ kyerɛɛ mo agyanom no.

19 To cast out all your enemies from before you, as the LORD has spoken.

Mobɛpam atamfoɔ a wɔte mo asase no so nyinaa sɛdeɛ Awurade ka kyerɛɛ mo sɛ ɔbɛyɛ no.

20 And when your son asks you in time to come, saying, What mean the testimonies, and the statutes, and the judgments, which the LORD our God has commanded you?

Daakye bi, mo mma bɛbisa mo sɛ, “Saa mmara ne nʼahyɛdeɛ a Awurade, yɛn Onyankopɔn de ama yɛn yi aseɛ ne sɛn?”

21 Then you shall say to your son, We were Pharaoh’s slaves in Egypt; and the LORD brought us out of Egypt with a mighty hand:

Monka nkyerɛ wɔn sɛ “Na yɛyɛ Farao nkoa wɔ Misraim, nanso Awurade nam anwanwatumi so yii yɛn firii Misraim.

22 And the LORD showed signs and wonders, great and sore, on Egypt, on Pharaoh, and on all his household, before our eyes:

Yɛhunuu Awurade nsɛnkyerɛnneɛ nnwuma a ɔyɛ tiaa Misraim, Farao ne ne nkurɔfoɔ nyinaa.

23 And he brought us out from there, that he might bring us in, to give us the land which he swore to our fathers.

Ɔyii yɛn firii Misraim sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a, ɔbɛtumi de asase a wahyɛ yɛn agyanom ho bɔ no ama yɛn.

24 And the LORD commanded us to do all these statutes, to fear the LORD our God, for our good always, that he might preserve us alive, as it is at this day.

Na Awurade yɛn Onyankopɔn hyɛɛ yɛn sɛ yɛnni mmara no nyinaa so na yɛmfa obuo ne anidie mma no sɛdeɛ ɛbɛma daakye asi yɛn yie sɛdeɛ ɛte ɛnnɛ yi.

25 And it shall be our righteousness, if we observe to do all these commandments before the LORD our God, as he has commanded us.

Ɛfiri sɛ, sɛ yɛdi mmara no nyinaa a Awurade, yɛn Onyankopɔn, de ama yɛn no so a, ɛbɛma yɛayɛ ateneneefoɔ.”
