Deuteronomy 16

1 Observe the month of new [corn], and you shall sacrifice the passover to the Lord your God; because in the month of new corn you came out of Egypt by night.

Daa monni Twam Afahyɛ no wɔ ɔbosome Abib no mu mma Awurade, mo Onyankopɔn, ɛfiri sɛ, ɔbosome Abib mu ɛda bi anadwo na Onyankopɔn yii mo firii Misraim.

2 And you shall sacrifice the passover to the Lord your God, sheep and oxen in the place which the Lord your God shall choose to have his name called upon it.

Monkum anantwie anaa nnwan sɛ Twam Afahyɛ afɔrebɔdeɛ mma Awurade, mo Onyankopɔn, wɔ baabi a Awurade bɛyi sɛ atenaeɛ wɔ ne din mu.

3 You shall not eat leaven with it; seven days shall you eat unleavened [bread] with it, bread of affliction, because you came forth out of Egypt in haste; that you may remember the day of your coming forth out of the land of Egypt all the days of your life.

Monnni burodo a mmɔreka wɔ mu; monni burodo a mmɔreka nni mu nnanson, ɛfiri sɛ, ɔherɛ so na mofirii Misraim sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a, mo nkwa nna nyinaa mobɛkae ɛberɛ a motu firii Misraim no.

4 Leaven shall not be seen with you in all your borders for seven days, and there shall not be left of the flesh which you shall sacrifice at even on the first day until the morning.

Mommma wɔnhunu mmɔreka wɔ mo nkyɛn wɔ mo nsase nyinaa so nnanson. Mommma ɛnam a mode bɔɔ afɔdeɛ ɛda a ɛdi ɛkan no anwummerɛ no nnka ogya so nkɔsi anɔpa.

5 you shall not have power to sacrifice the passover in any of the cities, which the Lord your God gives you.

Monnni Twam Afahyɛ no wɔ nkuro a Awurade, mo Onyankopɔn, de rema mo no so.

6 But in the place which the Lord your God shall choose, to have his name called there, you shall sacrifice the passover at even at the setting of the sun, at the time when you came out of Egypt.

Baabi a Awurade mo Onyankopɔn bɛyi sɛ wɔnkamfo ne din wɔ hɔ no na monni Twam Afahyɛ no. Sɛ owia rekɔtɔ a na monni mfa nkae mo Misraim firi berɛ no.

7 And you shall boil and roast and eat it in the place, which the Lord your God shall choose; and you shall return in the morning, and go to your house.

Montoto na monwe no wɔ faako a Awurade, mo Onyankopɔn, bɛyi ama mo no. Na adeɛ kye a, monkɔ mo ntomadan mu.

8 Six days shall you eat unleavened bread, and on the seventh day is a holiday, a feast to the Lord your God: you shall not do in it any work, save what must be done by any one.

Nnansia na momfa nni burodo a wɔmfaa mmɔreka mfraeɛ. Na ne nnanson so, nnipa no nyinaa nhyia wɔ Awurade, mo Onyankopɔn, anim. Na saa ɛda no, obiara nnyɛ adwuma.

9 Seven weeks shall you number to yourself; when you have begun [to put] the sickle to the corn, you shall begin to number seven weeks.

Ɛberɛ a wɔrebɛfiri aseɛ atwa aburoo no na monkan nnanson no.

10 And you shall keep the feast of weeks to the Lord your God, accordingly as your hand has power in as many things as the Lord your God shall give you.

Monni Nnapɛn Dapɔnna ma Awurade, mo Onyankopɔn, na mommɔ ayamyɛ afɔdeɛ sɛdeɛ nhyira a Awurade, mo Onyankopɔn, ahyira mo no sɛso so.

11 And you shall rejoice before the Lord your God, you and your son, and your daughter, your man-servant and your maidservant, and the Levite, and the stranger, and the orphan, and the widow which dwells among you, in whatever place the Lord your God shall choose, that his name should be called there.

Na monnye mo ani wɔ Awurade, mo Onyankopɔn, anim wɔ baabi a ɔbɛyi sɛ atenaeɛ a wɔbɛkamfo ne din no—mone no mo mmammarima ne mo mmammaa, mo nkoa ne mo mfenaa, Lewifoɔ a wɔwɔ mo nkuro mu ne ahɔhoɔ, nwisiaa ne akunafoɔ a wɔne mo teɛ.

12 And you shall remember that you were a servant in the land of Egypt, and you shall observe and do these commands.

Monkae sɛ, na moyɛ nkoa wɔ Misraim enti monhwɛ yie na monni saa mmara yi nyinaa so.

13 You shall keep for yourself the feast of tabernacles seven days, when you gather in [your produce] from your corn-floor and your wine-press.

Sɛ moboaboa mo ayuporobea ne mo nsakyimena mu adeɛ ano wie a, momfa nnanson nni Asese Afahyɛ no.

14 And you shall rejoice in your feast, you, and your son, and your daughter, your man-servant, and your maidservant, and the Levite, and the stranger, and the orphan, and the widow that is in your cities.

Saa afahyɛ yi bɛyɛ ahotɔ ne ahosɛpɛ berɛ ama mo ne mo abusuafoɔ, mo asomfoɔ ne Lewifoɔ, ahɔhoɔ, nwisiaa ne akunafoɔ a wɔfiri mo nkuro mu.

15 Seven days shall you keep a feast to the Lord your God in the place which the Lord your God shall choose for himself; and if the Lord your God shall bless you in all your fruits, and in every work of your hands, then you shall rejoice.

Nnanson na momfa nni saa afahyɛ yi mfa nhyɛ Awurade, mo Onyankopɔn, animuonyam wɔ baabi a ɔbɛyi, ɛfiri sɛ, Awurade mo Onyankopɔn na ɔma mo mfudeɛ bɔ pii na ɔhyira mo nnwuma nyinaa so. Saa afahyɛ yi yɛ ahosɛpɛ ma obiara.

16 Three times in the year shall all your males appear before the Lord your God in the place which the Lord shall choose in the feast of unleavened bread, and in the feast of weeks, and in the feast of tabernacles: you shall not appear before the Lord your God empty.

Afe biara mu, ɛsɛ sɛ mo mmarima hyia wɔ mo Awurade, mo Onyankopɔn anim baabi a ɔbɛyi no mprɛnsa de ma Apiti Afahyɛ, Otwa berɛ Afahyɛ ne Asese Afahyɛ no. Ɛnsɛ sɛ obiara ba Awurade anim nsapan.

17 Each one according to his ability, according to the blessing of the Lord your God which he has given you.

Obiara mma deɛ ne nsa bɛso so wɔ sɛdeɛ Awurade mo Onyankopɔn ahyira no.

18 You shall make for yourself judges and officers in your cities, which the Lord your God gives you in [your] tribes, and they shall judge the people with righteous judgment:

Monsisi atemmufoɔ ne mpanimfoɔ mfiri mo mmusuakuo biara mu wɔ nkuro a Awurade, mo Onyankopɔn de rema mo no mu. Wɔbɛbu atɛntenenee wɔ nsase no nyinaa so.

19 they shall not wrest judgment, nor favor persons, nor receive a gift; for gifts blind the eyes of the wise, and pervert the words of the righteous.

Mommmu ntɛnkyea da biara da. Monnnye adanmudeɛ, ɛfiri sɛ, adanmudeɛ fira anyansafoɔ ani ma wɔsi gyinaeɛ de tia onyamesuroni asɛm.

20 You shall justly pursue justice, that you may live, and go in and inherit the land which the Lord your God gives you.

Momma asɛntenenee nna adi sɛdeɛ ɛbɛma moatumi atena asase a Awurade mo Onyankopɔn de rema mo no so.

21 You shall not plant for yourself a grove; you shall not plant for yourself any tree near the altar of your God.

Monnsisi nnua biara sɛ abosompɔ wɔ Awurade mo Onyankopɔn afɔrebukyia a morebɛsi ama no no ho.

22 You shall not set up for yourself a pillar, which the Lord your God hates.

Saa ara nso na monnsi aboɔ adum nsom wɔn, ɛfiri sɛ, ɛyɛ Awurade mo Onyankopɔn akyiwadeɛ.
