Deuteronomy 11

1 Therefore you shall love the Lord your God, and shall observe his appointments, and his ordinances, and his commandments, and his judgments, always.

Monnɔ Awurade mo Nyankopɔn na munni nʼapɛde, ne mmara ne nʼahyɛde so bere nyinaa.

2 And you shall know this day; for [I speak] not to your children, who know not and have not seen the discipline of the Lord your God, and his wonderful works, and his strong hand, and his high arm,

Nnɛ, muntie, sɛ ɛnyɛ mo mma na wonyaa osuahu, huu Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn no nteɛso, ne tumi, ne basa kɛse, ne nsa a wateɛ mu;

3 and his miracles, and his wonders, which he wrought in the midst of Egypt on Pharao king of Egypt, and all his land;

nsɛnkyerɛnne a ɔyɛe ne nneɛma a ɔyɛɛ wɔ Misraim pɛɛ maa bi kaa Misraimhene Farao ne ɔman mu no nyinaa no;

4 and what he did to the host of the Egyptians, and to their chariots, and their cavalry, and their host; how he made the water of the Red Sea to overwhelm the face of them as they pursued after you, and the Lord destroyed them until this day;

dwuma a odii Misraim asraafo, wɔn apɔnkɔ ne wɔn nteaseɛnam no; sɛnea ɔmaa Po Kɔkɔɔ yiri faa wɔn bere a wɔtaa mo no ne sɛnea Awurade sɛee wɔn bere a wɔtaa mo no; ne sɛnea Awurade de ɔsɛe a to ntwa baa wɔn so no.

5 and all the things which he did to you in the wilderness until you came into this place;

Ɛnyɛ mo mma na wohuu nea ɔyɛ maa mo wɔ sare so hɔ de kosii sɛ mubeduu ha yi;

6 and all the things that he did to Dathan and Abiron the sons of Eliab the son of Ruben, whom the earth opening her mouth swallowed up, and their houses, and their tents, and all their substance that was with them, in the midst of all Israel:

ne nea ɔde yɛɛ Eliab a na ɔyɛ Rubenni no mma Datan ne Abiram bere a ɔmma asase buee nʼanom wɔ mo Israelfo no anim menee wɔn ne wɔn afi ne wɔn ntamadan ne biribiara a na ɛyɛ wɔn agyapade a nkwa wɔ mu no.

7 for your eyes have seen all the mighty works of the Lord, which he wrought among you today.

Mmom, ɛyɛ mo ankasa mo ani na mode ahu saa nneɛma akɛse a Awurade ayɛ yi nyinaa.

8 And you shall keep all his commandments, as many as I command you today, that you may live, and be multiplied, and that you may go in and inherit the land, into which you go across Jordan to inherit it:

Enti munni mmara a merehyɛ mo nnɛ yi nyinaa so sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a mubenya ahoɔden akɔfa asase a morebetwa Yordan akɔ so akɔfa yi,

9 that you may live long upon the land, which the Lord sware to your fathers to give to them, and to their seed after them, a land flowing with milk and honey.

na mo nna aware asase a nufusu ne ɛwo sen wɔ so a Awurade kaa ntam kyerɛɛ mo agyanom sɛ ɔde bɛma wɔn ne wɔn asefo no so.

10 For the land into which you go to inherit it, is not as the land of Egypt, whence you came out, whenever they sow the seed, and water it with their feet, as a garden of herbs:

Asase a morekɔ so akɔfa no nte sɛ Misraim asase a mufi so bae no a na mudua nnɔbae a mode mo nan twa suka te sɛnea moyɛ atomude turo no.

11 but the land into which you go to inherit it, is a land of mountains and plains; it shall drink water of the rain of heaven.

Na asase a moretwa Yordan akɔfa no yɛ mmepɔw ne abon a enya osu a efi ɔsoro.

12 A land which the Lord your God surveys continually, the eyes of the Lord your God are upon it from the beginning of the year to the end of the year.

Ɛyɛ asase a Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn no, ani wɔ ho. Daa Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn, ani wɔ so fi afe no mfiase de kosi nʼawie.

13 Now if you will indeed listen to all the commands which I charge you this day, to love the Lord your God, and to serve him with all your heart, and with all your soul,

Sɛ mufi nokwaredi mu di mmara a merehyɛ ama mo nnɛ yi so sɛ mode mo koma ne mo kra nyinaa bɛdɔ Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn no, na moasom no a,

14 then he shall give to your land the early and latter rain in its season, and you shall bring in your corn, and your wine, and your oil.

ɛno de, ɔbɛtɔ osu agu no asase so ne bere mu ama mo, na moatumi atwa mo awi, nsa foforo ne ngo.

15 And he shall give food in your fields to your cattle; and when you have eaten and are full,

Ɔbɛma mo sare pii na mo anantwi awe na mo nso mubedidi amee.

16 take heed to yourself that your heart be not puffed up, and you transgress, and serve other gods, and worship them:

Monhwɛ yiye, anyɛ saa a wɔbɛtwetwe mo ama moakɔsom anyame afoforo na moakotow wɔn.

17 and the Lord be angry with you, and restrain the heaven; and there shall not be rain, and the earth shall not yield its fruit, and you shall perish quickly from off the good land, which the Lord has given you.

Ɛno na ɛbɛma Awurade abufuw ahuru atia mo; na ɔbɛto ɔsoro mu, na osu rentɔ, na asase remmɔ aduan biara, na ɛrenkyɛ na moawuwu afi asase a Awurade de rema mo no so.

18 And you shall store these words in your heart and in your soul, and you shall bind them as a sign on your hand, and it shall be fixed before your eyes.

Enti momma me nsɛm yi ntim wɔ mo koma ne mo adwene mu. Momfa nkyekyere mo nsa sɛ nkae ade na momfa mmɔ abotiri.

19 And you shall teach them to your children, so as to speak about them when you sit in the house, and when you walk by the way, and when you sleep, and when you rise up.

Monkyerɛkyerɛ mo mma na monka ho asɛm nkyerɛ wɔn bere a mote fie ne bere a monam akwan so; bere a modeda hɔ ne bere a mosɔre.

20 And you shall write them on the lintels of your houses, and on your gates;

Monkyerɛw ngu mo afi apongua ne mo abobow ano apon so,

21 that your days may be long, and the days of your children, upon the land which the Lord sware to your fathers to give to them, as the days of heaven upon the earth.

sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a, ɔsoro da so kata asase ani yi, mo ne mo mma nkwa bɛware wɔ asase a Awurade kaa ho ntam sɛ ɔde bɛma mo agyanom no so.

22 And it shall come to pass that if you will indeed listen to all these commands, which I charge you to observe this day, to love the Lord our God, and to walk in all his ways, and to cleave close to him;

Sɛ mudi ahyɛde ahorow a mede rema mo sɛ munni so; sɛ monnɔ Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn, nyɛ osetie mma no na munni no ni, yi so pɛpɛɛpɛ a,

23 then the Lord shall cast out all these nations before you, and you shall inherit great nations and stronger than yourselves.

ɛno de, Awurade bɛpam saa aman yi nyinaa wɔ mo anim, na mubetu aman a ɛsoso na wɔyɛ den sen mo no agu.

24 Every place whereon the sole of your foot shall tread shall be your; from the wilderness and Antilibanus, and from the great river, the river Euphrates, even as far as the west sea shall be your coasts.

Baabiara a mode mo anan betia no bɛyɛ mo de. Mo ahye bɛtrɛw afi sare so akosi Lebanon, na afi Asubɔnten Eufrate akosi Ntam Po no.

25 No one shall stand before you; and the Lord your God will put the fear of you and the dread of you on the face of all the land, on which you shall tread, as he told you.

Obiara rentumi nsɔre ntia mo, efisɛ sɛnea Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn, ahyɛ bɔ no, ɔde mo ho huboa ne osuro bɛto asase no nyinaa so wɔ baabiara a mobɛkɔ.

26 Behold, I set before you this day the blessing and the curse;

Hwɛ, nnɛ mede nhyira ne nnome resi mo anim;

27 the blessing, if you listen to the commands of the Lord your God, all that I command you this day;

sɛ mudi Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn, mmara a merehyɛ ama mo nnɛ yi so a, ɛbɛyɛ nhyira.

28 and the curse, if you do not listen to the commands of the Lord our God, as many as I command you this day, and you wander from the way which I have commanded you, having gone to serve other gods, which you know not.

Na sɛ mopo Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn mmara dan fi nʼakwan a merehyɛ mo nnɛ yi so, kɔsom anyame afoforo a, ɛbɛyɛ nnome.

29 And it shall come to pass when the Lord your God shall have brought you into the land into which you go over to inherit it, then you shall put blessing on mount Garizin, and the curse upon mount Gaebal.

Na sɛ Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn, de mo du asase a morekɔ so akɔfa no a, monka nhyira nsɛm mfi Gerisim Bepɔw no so na monka nnome nsɛm nso mfi Ebal Bepɔw so.

30 Behold! are not these beyond Jordan, behind, westward in the land of Chanaan, which lies westward near Golgol, by the high oak?

Sɛnea munim no, mmepɔw abien yi wɔ Asubɔnten Yordan agya wɔ atɔe fam, a ɛkyerɛ owitɔe na ɛbɛn More kwae wɔ Kanaanfo a wɔte Araba no asase so; faako a wɔn ani tua Gilgal no.

31 For you are passing over Jordan, to go in and inherit the land, which the Lord our God gives you to inherit always, and you shall dwell in it.

Moreyɛ atwa Yordan akɔfa asase a Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn, de rema mo no. Sɛ mokɔfa saa asase no kɔtena so a,

32 And you shall take heed to do all his ordinances, and these judgments, as many as I set before you today.

monhwɛ yiye na munni mmara ne ahyɛde ahorow a mede rema mo nnɛ yi no nyinaa so.
