Deuteronomy 8
1 All the commandments which I command you this day shall you observe to do, that you may live, and multiply, and go in and possess the land which the LORD swore to your fathers.
Monhwɛ yie na monni mmara a merehyɛ ama mo ɛnnɛ yi so, sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a, mobɛtena ase na moadɔɔso na moakɔ asase a Awurade kaa ntam de hyɛɛ mo agyanom bɔ no na moatena so.
2 And you shall remember all the way which the LORD your God led you these forty years in the wilderness, to humble you, and to prove you, to know what was in your heart, whether you would keep his commandments, or no.
Monkae sɛdeɛ Awurade mo Onyankopɔn dii mo anim faa ɛserɛ so mfeɛ aduanan, nam so brɛɛ mo ase de sɔɔ mo suban hwɛeɛ sɛ mobɛdi ne mmara so anaasɛ morenni so no.
3 And he humbled you, and suffered you to hunger, and fed you with manna, which you knew not, neither did your fathers know; that he might make you know that man does not live by bread only, but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of the LORD does man live.
Nokorɛm, ɔmaa ɛkɔm dee mo nam so brɛɛ mo ase, ɛnna ɔmaa mo mana, aduane a na anka mo ne mo agyanom nnii bi da. Ɔyɛɛ saa de kyerɛɛ mo sɛ, ɛnyɛ aduane nko ara na ɛho hia onipa wɔ nʼasetena mu, na mmom, deɛ ɛhia titire ne Awurade asɛm.
4 Your raiment waxed not old on you, neither did your foot swell, these forty years.
Mfeɛ aduanan yi nyinaa mu, mo ntadeɛ antete, na mo nan ammɔ mpumpunnya na anhonhono nso.
5 You shall also consider in your heart, that, as a man chastens his son, so the LORD your God chastens you.
Enti, deɛ ɛsɛ sɛ mohunu ne sɛ, sɛdeɛ ɔbaatan tea ne ba no, saa ara nso na Awurade mo Onyankopɔn tea mo de boa mo.
6 Therefore you shall keep the commandments of the LORD your God, to walk in his ways, and to fear him.
Monni Awurade mo Onyankopɔn ahyɛdeɛ so na monnante nʼakwan so na momfa anidie mma no.
7 For the LORD your God brings you into a good land, a land of brooks of water, of fountains and depths that spring out of valleys and hills;
Ɛfiri sɛ, mo Awurade de mo rekɔ asase pa so—asase a asutene, mmura ne nsutire resene wɔ bɔnhwa ne mmepɔ mu;
8 A land of wheat, and barley, and vines, and fig trees, and pomegranates; a land of oil olive, and honey;
asase a atokoɔ, ayuo, bobe, borɔdɔma, ateaa, ngo dua ne ɛwoɔ wɔ so.
9 A land wherein you shall eat bread without scarceness, you shall not lack any thing in it; a land whose stones are iron, and out of whose hills you may dig brass.
Ɛyɛ asase a aduane abu wɔ so a biribiara wɔ so; ɛyɛ asase a fagudeɛ dadeɛ abu so te sɛ aboɔ, na sumpii nso nyɛ na wɔ ne mmepɔ mu.
10 When you have eaten and are full, then you shall bless the LORD your God for the good land which he has given you.
Sɛ modidi mee a, monhyira Awurade mo Onyankopɔn wɔ asase pa a ɔde ama mo no enti.
11 Beware that you forget not the LORD your God, in not keeping his commandments, and his judgments, and his statutes, which I command you this day:
Nanso, monhwɛ yie na mo werɛ amfiri Awurade mo Onyankopɔn a morenni ne mmara ne nʼahyɛdeɛ a merehyɛ mo ɛnnɛ yi so.
12 Lest when you have eaten and are full, and have built goodly houses, and dwelled therein;
Anyɛ saa a, sɛ modidi na momee na mosisi mo afie fɛfɛ, na mokɔtena mu
13 And when your herds and your flocks multiply, and your silver and your gold is multiplied, and all that you have is multiplied;
na mo anantwie ne nnwan ase dɔre, na monya dwetɛ ne sika pii, na mo agyapadeɛ nyinaa dɔɔso
14 Then your heart be lifted up, and you forget the LORD your God, which brought you forth out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage;
a, saa ɛberɛ no na ɛsɛ sɛ mohwɛ yie. Monnyɛ ahomasoɔ na mommma mo werɛ mfiri Awurade mo Onyankopɔn a ɔyii mo firii Misraim nkoasom asase so no.
15 Who led you through that great and terrible wilderness, wherein were fiery serpents, and scorpions, and drought, where there was no water; who brought you forth water out of the rock of flint;
Mommma mo werɛ mfiri sɛ ɔno na ɔdii mo anim yii mo firii ɛserɛ a na ɛso yɛ hu so. Ɔno na ɔyii mo firii asase a ɛso yɛ hye, a awɔ ne anyanyankyerɛ a wɔn ano wɔ borɔ wɔ so no so. Ɔmaa mo nsuo firi ɔbotan mu.
16 Who fed you in the wilderness with manna, which your fathers knew not, that he might humble you, and that he might prove you, to do you good at your latter end;
Ɔmaa mo mana aduane a mo agyanom nnim diiɛ wɔ ɛserɛ so. Ɔyɛɛ yei de brɛɛ mo ase, de sɔɔ mo hwɛeɛ wɔ mo ankasa yiedie mu.
17 And you say in your heart, My power and the might of my hand has gotten me this wealth.
Ɔyɛɛ saa de kyerɛɛ mo sɛ, ɛnsɛ sɛ modwene sɛ mo ahonya no firi mo ankasa mo ahoɔden mu.
18 But you shall remember the LORD your God: for it is he that gives you power to get wealth, that he may establish his covenant which he swore to your fathers, as it is this day.
Daa monkae sɛ, Awurade mo Onyankopɔn a ɔma mo tumi ma moyɛ adefoɔ no, ɔyɛ saa de dii apam a ɔne mo agyanom hyɛeɛ no so.
19 And it shall be, if you do at all forget the LORD your God, and walk after other gods, and serve them, and worship them, I testify against you this day that you shall surely perish.
Na mereka akyerɛ mo sɛ, sɛ mo werɛ firi Awurade, mo Onyankopɔn, na mokɔdi anyame foforɔ akyi, som wɔn, koto wɔn a, sɛeɛ na wɔbɛsɛe mo.
20 As the nations which the LORD destroys before your face, so shall you perish; because you would not be obedient to the voice of the LORD your God.
Sɛdeɛ Awurade asɛe amanaman a na wɔwɔ mo anim no, mo nso sɛ moantie Awurade mo Onyankopɔn a, saa ara na wɔbɛsɛe mo.
