Deuteronomy 5

1 And Moses called all Israel, and said unto them, Hear, O Israel, the statutes and judgments which I speak in your ears this day, that all of you may learn them, and keep, and do them.

Mose frɛɛ Israelfoɔ nyinaa ka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ: Montie mmara ne ahyɛdeɛ a mede rema mo ɛnnɛ no yie. Monsua na monni so.

2 The LORD our God made a covenant with us in Horeb.

Ɛberɛ a yɛwɔ Horeb no, Awurade yɛn Onyankopɔn ne yɛn yɛɛ apam bi.

3 The LORD made not this covenant with our fathers, but with us, even us, who are all of us here alive this day.

Ɛnyɛ yɛn agyanom na Awurade ne wɔn yɛɛ apam tete no, na mmom, ɔne yɛn a yɛte ase ɛnnɛ yi na ɛyɛeɛ.

4 The LORD talked with you face to face in the mount out of the midst of the fire,

Awurade ne mo kasaa animuanimu firi ogyaframa no mu.

5 (I stood between the LORD and you at that time, to show you the word of the LORD: for all of you were afraid by reason of the fire, and went not up into the mount; ) saying,

Megyinaa mo ne Awurade ntam, ɛfiri sɛ, na mosuro ogya no enti, moamforo bepɔ no. Ɔkasa kyerɛɛ me na me nso mekaa nsɛm a ɔkaeɛ no kyerɛɛ mo. Nsɛm a ɔkaeɛ no nie:

6 I am the LORD your God, which brought you out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage.

“Mene Awurade mo Onyankopɔn a meyii mo firii nkoasom wɔ Misraim no.

7 You shall have no other gods before me.

“Monnsom onyame foforɔ biara nka me ho.

8 You shall not make you any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the waters beneath the earth:

Monnyɛ ohoni anaa biribiara a ɛsɛ adeɛ a ɛwɔ ewiem, anaa deɛ ɛwɔ asase so, anaa deɛ ɛwɔ nsuo mu, anaa deɛ ɛwɔ asase ase.

9 You shall not bow down yourself unto them, nor serve them: for I the LORD your God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me,

Monnkoto ohoni biara nsom no ɛkwan biara so, na me, Awurade mo Onyankopɔn, meyɛ ninkunfoɔ. Na me ne onyame foforɔ bi nkyɛ mo dɔ a modɔ me no. Na sɛ nnipa bi bɔne a wayɛ enti metwe wɔn aso a, metwe wɔn aso kɔsi wɔn awontoatoasoɔ a wɔtan me no nyinaa so.

10 And showing mercy unto thousands of them that love me and keep my commandments.

Na medɔ awoɔ ntoatoasoɔ mpem a wɔdɔ me na wɔdi mʼahyɛdeɛ so.

11 You shall not take the name of the LORD your God in vain: for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that takes his name in vain.

Mommmɔ Awurade Onyankopɔn din basabasa. Sɛ moyɛ saa a, ɔbɛbu mo fɔ.

12 Keep the sabbath day to sanctify it, as the LORD your God has commanded you.

Monkae homeda na monni no sɛ ɛda kronkron, sɛdeɛ Awurade ahyɛ no.

13 Six days you shall labour, and do all your work:

Nnansia na momfa nyɛ mo nnwuma nyinaa,

14 But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD your God: in it you shall not do any work, you, nor your son, nor your daughter, nor your manservant, nor your maidservant, nor your ox, nor your ass, nor any of your cattle, nor your stranger that is within your gates; that your manservant and your maidservant may rest as well as you.

na ɛda a ɛtɔ so nson no yɛ homeda ma Awurade Onyankopɔn. Saa ɛda no, ɛnsɛ sɛ moyɛ adwuma biara; ɛnsɛ sɛ mo mmammarima, mo mmabaa anaa mo asomfoɔ anaa mo anantwie ne mo afunumu anaa mo ahɔhoɔ yɛ adwuma biara.

15 And remember that you were a servant in the land of Egypt, and that the LORD your God brought you out thence through a mighty hand and by a stretched out arm: therefore the LORD your God commanded you to keep the sabbath day.

Monkae sɛ berɛ bi a atwam no na moyɛ nkoa wɔ Misraim, na Awurade, mo Onyankopɔn, nam anwanwa tumi ne tumi nnwuma so na ɔyii mo firii hɔ. Ɛno enti na Awurade mo Onyankopɔn hyɛ mo sɛ monni homeda no.

16 Honour your father and your mother, as the LORD your God has commanded you; that your days may be prolonged, and that it may go well with you, in the land which the LORD your God gives you.

Di wʼagya ne wo maame ni sɛdeɛ Awurade, mo Onyankopɔn, hyɛ mo no. Na ɛbɛma wo nkwa nna aware wɔ asase a Awurade wo Onyankopɔn de bɛma wo no so.

17 You shall not kill.

Nni awu.

18 Neither shall you commit adultery.

Nsɛe awadeɛ.

19 Neither shall you steal.

Mmɔ korɔno

20 Neither shall you bear false witness against your neighbour.

Nni wo yɔnko ho adansekurumu

21 Neither shall you desire your neighbour's wife, neither shall you covet your neighbour's house, his field, or his manservant, or his maidservant, his ox, or his ass, or any thing that is your neighbour's.

Mma wʼani mmere wo yɔnko yere. Mma wʼani mmere wo yɔnko fie anaa nʼasase anaa nʼakoa anaa nʼafenawa, ne nʼanantwie, nʼafunumu anaa biribiara a ɛyɛ wo yɔnko dea.”

22 These words the LORD spoke unto all your assembly in the mount out of the midst of the fire, of the cloud, and of the thick darkness, with a great voice: and he added no more. And he wrote them in two tables of stone, and delivered them unto me.

Awurade de nne kɛseɛ a ɛfiri ogyaframa no mu ka kyerɛɛ mo firii omununkum a esum kabii atwa ho ahyia mu. Nsɛm a ɔkaeɛ ara ni na ɔtwerɛɛ ne nsɛm no guu aboɔ ɛpono mmienu so na ɔde maa me.

23 And it came to pass, when all of you heard the voice out of the midst of the darkness, (for the mountain did burn with fire, ) that all of you came near unto me, even all the heads of your tribes, and your elders;

Motee nne no firii esum mu ɛberɛ a bepɔ no ogya redɛre framfram no, mmusuakuo mu ntuanofoɔ no nyinaa baa me nkyɛn.

24 And all of you said, Behold, the LORD our God has showed us his glory and his greatness, and we have heard his voice out of the midst of the fire: we have seen this day that God does talk with man, and he lives.

Wɔkaa sɛ, “Awurade yɛn Onyankopɔn, akyerɛ yɛn nʼanimuonyam ne ne tumi na yɛate ne nne afiri ogya mu. Ɛnnɛ, yɛahunu sɛ, sɛ Onyankopɔn ne onipa kasa koraa a, onipa tumi tena ase.

25 Now therefore why should we die? for this great fire will consume us: if we hear the voice of the LORD our God any more, then we shall die.

Na afei, adɛn enti na ɛsɛ sɛ yɛwuwu? Sɛ Awurade, yɛn Onyankopɔn, kasa kyerɛ yɛn bio a, akyinnyeɛ biara nni ho sɛ yɛbɛwuwu na ogya no ahye yɛn pasaa.

26 For who is there of all flesh, that has heard the voice of the living God speaking out of the midst of the fire, as we have, and lived?

Enti, ɔkra teasefoɔ bɛtumi ate Onyankopɔn teasefoɔ no nne afiri ogyaframa no mu na watena ase anaa?

27 Go you near, and hear all that the LORD our God shall say: and speak you unto us all that the LORD our God shall speak unto you; and we will hear it, and do it.

Wo, kɔ na kɔtie deɛ Awurade yɛn Onyankopɔn no ka. Na afei, bra na bɛka biribiara a ɔka kyerɛɛ wo no kyerɛ yɛn, na yɛbɛtie na yɛadi so.”

28 And the LORD heard the voice of your words, when all of you spoke unto me; and the LORD said unto me, I have heard the voice of the words of this people, which they have spoken unto you: they have well said all that they have spoken.

Awurade tee mo nne ɛberɛ a mokasa kyerɛɛ me no, Awurade ka kyerɛɛ me sɛ, “Mate nsɛm a nnipa ka kyerɛɛ wo no. Nsɛm a wɔkaaeɛ no nyinaa yɛ.

29 O that there were such an heart in them, that they would fear me, and keep all my commandments always, that it might be well with them, and with their children for ever!

Ao, sɛ daa wɔbɛnya akoma sɛdeɛ ɛbɛma wɔasuro me na wɔadi mʼahyɛdeɛ nyinaa so a, anka ɛbɛyɛ ama wɔn ne wɔn asefoɔ nyinaa afebɔɔ.

30 Go say to them, Get you into your tents again.

“Kɔ na kɔka kyerɛ wɔn sɛ, wɔnsane mmra wɔn ntomadan mu.

31 But as for you, stand you here by me, and I will speak unto you all the commandments, and the statutes, and the judgments, which you shall teach them, that they may do them in the land which I give them to possess it.

Nanso, wo deɛ, wo ne me ntena ha sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a mɛtumi de me nhyɛ ne me mmara ama wo. Wobɛkyerɛkyerɛ nnipa no sɛdeɛ wɔbɛtie wɔ asase a mede rema wɔn no so sɛ wɔn agyapadeɛ.”

32 All of you shall observe to do therefore as the LORD your God has commanded you: all of you shall not turn aside to the right hand or to the left.

Enti, Mose ka kyerɛɛ nnipa no sɛ, “Monyɛ ɔsetie mma Awurade mo Onyankopɔn ahyɛdeɛ nyinaa, na monni ne nkyerɛkyerɛ so pɛpɛɛpɛ.

33 All of you shall walk in all the ways which the LORD your God has commanded you, that all of you may live, and that it may be well with you, and that all of you may prolong your days in the land which all of you shall possess.

Akwan a Awurade mo Onyankopɔn ahyɛ mo sɛ monnante so no so, monnante so. Na moatena ase nna tenten na asi mo yie wɔ asase a morebɛkɔ akɔtena so no so.”
