< Deuteronomy 10 >
1 At that time the Lord said to me, Hew for yourself two stone tables as the first, and come up to me into the mountain, and you shall make for yourself an ark of wood.
Saa bere no, Awurade ka kyerɛɛ me se, “Twa abo apon no abien te sɛ kan de no na foro bra me nkyɛn wɔ bepɔw no so. Afei, yɛ dua adaka a wobɛkora wɔ mu.
2 And you shall write upon the tables the words which were on the first tables which you did break, and you shall put them into the ark.
Mɛkyerɛw nsɛm a mekyerɛw guu abo apon abien a edi kan a wububuu mu no bi pɛpɛɛpɛ agu so. Na fa hyɛ adaka no mu.”
3 So I made an ark of boards of incorruptible wood, and I hewed tables of stone like the first, and I went up to the mountain, and the two tables were in my hand.
Na mede dua ɔkanto yɛɛ adaka, sen abo apon abien sɛ kan de no, na meforoo bepɔw no a na mikura apon abien no.
4 And he wrote upon the tables according to the first writing the ten commandments, which the Lord spoke to you in the mountain out of the midst of the fire, and the Lord gave them to me.
Awurade kyerɛw nsɛm a wakyerɛw bi dedaw, Mmaransɛm Du, a ɔkaa ho asɛm kyerɛɛ mo fi ogya mu wɔ bepɔw no so wɔ mo nhyiamu ase no guu apon no so. Na Awurade de maa me.
5 And I turned and came down from the mountain, and I put the tables into the ark which I had made; and there they were, as the Lord commanded me.
Na misan fii bepɔw no so na mede abo apon no bɛhyɛɛ adaka a mayɛ no mu sɛnea Awurade hyɛɛ me sɛ menyɛ no, na ɛwɔ hɔ besi nnɛ.
6 And the children of Israel departed from Beeroth of the sons of Jakim [to] Misadai: there Aaron died, and there he was buried, and Eleazar his son was priest in his stead.
Na Israelfo tu fii Beerot-Bene-Yaakan mmura ho kɔɔ Mosera. Ɛhɔ na Aaron wu ma wosiee no. Aaron babarima Eleasar sii nʼanan mu dii sɔfo.
7 Thence they departed to Gadgad; and from Gadgad to Etebatha, a land [wherein are] torrents of water.
Wofi hɔ tu kɔɔ Gudgod. Wofi Gudgod no, wɔkɔɔ Yotbata, asase a nsuten pii wɔ so.
8 At that time the Lord separated the tribe of Levi, to bear the ark of the covenant of the Lord, to stand near before the Lord, to minister and bless in his name to this day.
Ɛhɔ na Awurade yii Lewifo abusuakuw sɛ wɔnsoa Awurade apam adaka no na wonnyina Awurade anim nsom no na wɔmfa ne din so nhyira, sɛnea wɔyɛ no nnɛ yi.
9 Therefore the Levites have no part nor inheritance among their brethren; the Lord himself [is] their inheritance, as he said to them.
Ɛno nti na Lewifo no nni agyapade wɔ wɔn mfɛfo Israelfo no mu no. Awurade no ankasa ne wɔn agyapade sɛnea Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn, ka kyerɛɛ wɔn no.
10 And I remained in the mount forty days and forty nights: and the Lord heard me at that time also, and the Lord would not destroy you.
Na metenaa bepɔw no so wɔ Awurade anim adaduanan, awia ne anadwo sɛnea meyɛɛ kan no. Na Awurade tiee me bio. Na ɛnyɛ ne pɛ sɛ ɔbɛsɛe mo.
11 And the Lord said to me, Go, set out before this people, and let them go in and inherit the land, which I sware to their fathers to give to them.
Awurade ka kyerɛɛ me se, “Sɔre na di nnipa no anim fa wɔn kɔ asase a mekaa ntam sɛ mede bɛma wɔn agyanom no so na wɔmfa no sɛ agyapade.”
12 And now, Israel, what does the Lord your God require of you, but to fear the Lord your God, and to walk in all his ways, and to love him, and to serve the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul;
Na afei, Israel, dɛn na Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn, hwehwɛ afi mo nkyɛn? Ɔhwehwɛ sɛ musuro no na moyɛ nʼapɛde, na mode mo koma ne mo kra nyinaa dɔ no na mosom no,
13 to keep the commandments of the Lord your God, and his ordinances, all that I charge you today, that it may be well with you?
na mudi Awurade ahyɛde ne ne mmara a mede rema mo nnɛ yi so, na asi mo yiye.
14 Behold, the heaven and the heaven of heavens belong to the Lord your God, the earth and all things that are in it.
Ɔsorosoro mu soro ne asase ne nea ɛwɔ mu nyinaa yɛ Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn no, de.
15 Only the Lord chose your fathers to love them, and he chose out their seed after them, [even] you, beyond all nations, as at this day.
Nanso Awurade nyaa abadae maa mo agyanom na ɔdɔ wɔn, na ɔpaw mo a moyɛ wɔn asefo gyaa aman nyinaa sɛnea ɛte nnɛ yi.
16 Therefore you shall circumcise the hardness of your heart, and you shall not harden your neck.
Ɛno nti, monhohoro mo koma mu bɔne na munnyae asoɔden no.
17 For the Lord your God, he [is] God of gods, and the Lord of lords, the great, and strong, and terrible God, who does not accept persons, nor will he by any means accept a bribe:
Na Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn, yɛ ahene mu hene ne anyame mu nyame. Ɔyɛ Onyankopɔn kɛse, otumfo ne ɔnwonwani a ɔnkyea nʼaso na onnye adanmude nso.
18 executing judgment for the stranger and orphan and widow, and he loves the stranger to give him food and raiment.
Ɔko ma nyisaa ne akunafo, na ɔdɔ ahɔho a wɔte mo mu. Ɔma wɔn aduan ne ntama.
19 And you shall love the stranger; for you were strangers in the land of Egypt.
Mo nso, ɛsɛ sɛ modɔ ahɔho, efisɛ bere bi na mo ankasa nso yɛ ahɔho wɔ Misraim asase so.
20 You shall fear the Lord your God, and serve him, and shall cleave to him, and shall swear by his name.
Munsuro Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn, na mosom no. Moka mo ho mmata ne ho, na mo ntam a moka nyɛ ne din nko ara.
21 He [is] your boast, and he [is] your God, who has wrought in the midst of you these great and glorious things, which your eyes have seen.
Ɔyɛ mo Nyankopɔn a ɛsɛ sɛ mokamfo no. Ɔno na wayɛ anwonwade akɛse a mo nyinaa ahu bi.
22 With seventy souls your fathers went down into Egypt; but the Lord your God has made you as the stars of heaven in multitude.
Na mo agyanom a wɔkɔɔ Misraim no nyinaa dodow yɛ aduɔson. Nanso afei, Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn no ama mo ase adɔ te sɛ soro nsoromma.
