Deuteronomy 27

1 And Moses and the elders of Israel commanded, saying, Keep all these commands, all that I command you this day.

Mose ne Israel mpanimfoɔ hyɛɛ ɔmanfoɔ no sɛ, “Monni mmara a mede rema mo ɛnnɛ yi nyinaa so.

2 And it shall come to pass in the day when you shall cross over Jordan into the land which the Lord your God gives you, that you shall set up for yourself great stones, and shall plaster them with plaster.

Sɛ motwa Yordan kɔduru asase a Awurade, mo Onyankopɔn de rema mo no so a, monhyehyɛ aboɔ akɛseɛ na momfa akaadoo nsra ho.

3 And you shall write on these stones all the words of this law, as soon as you have crossed Jordan, when you are entered into the land, which the Lord God of your fathers gives you, a land flowing with milk and honey, according as the Lord God of your fathers said to you.

Sɛ motwa Yordan kɔ asase a Awurade, mo Onyankopɔn de rema mo no so, asase a ɛwoɔ ne nufosuo resene so no so a, montwerɛ mmara no nyinaa ngu so sɛdeɛ Awurade, mo agyanom Onyankopɔn, hyɛɛ mo bɔ no.

4 And it shall be as soon as you are gone over Jordan, you shall set up these stones, which I command you this day, on mount Gaebal, and you shall plaster them with plaster.

Na sɛ motwa Yordan a, monhyehyɛ aboɔ no wɔ Ebal bepɔ so sɛdeɛ merehyɛ mo ɛnnɛ yi na momfa akaadoo no mfa ho.

5 And you shall build there an altar to the Lord your God, an altar of stones; you shall not lift up iron upon it.

Monsi afɔrebukyia, aboɔ afɔrebukyia wɔ hɔ mma Awurade, mo Onyankopɔn. Mommfa dadeɛ biribiara nka.

6 Of whole stones shall you build an altar to the Lord your God, and you shall offer upon it whole burnt offerings to the Lord your God.

Momfa aboɔ nkunkuma nsi Awurade, mo Onyankopɔn afɔrebukyia no na mommɔ ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ wɔ so mma Awurade, mo Onyankopɔn.

7 And you shall there offer a peace-offering; and you shall eat and be filled, and rejoice before the Lord your God.

Mommɔ asomdwoeɛ afɔdeɛ nso wɔ so na momfa anigyeɛ nnidi wɔ hɔ wɔ Awurade, mo Onyankopɔn, anim.

8 And you shall write upon the stones all this law very plainly.

Montwerɛ mmara no mu nhyehyɛeɛ nyinaa pɛpɛɛpɛ ngu aboɔ a wɔde akaadoo aka so no so.”

9 And Moses and the priests the Levites spoke to all Israel, saying, Be silent and hear, O Israel; this day you are become a people to the Lord your God.

Afei, Mose ne Lewifoɔ asɔfoɔ kasa kyerɛɛ Israelfoɔ no sɛ, “Ao Israel, monyɛ komm na montie! Ɛnnɛ, moabɛyɛ Awurade, mo Onyankopɔn manfoɔ.

10 And you shall listen to the voice of the Lord your God, and shall do all his commands, and his ordinances, as many as I command you this day.

Monyɛ ɔsetie mma Awurade, mo Onyankopɔn, na monni ne mmara ne nʼahyɛdeɛ a mede rema mo ɛnnɛ yi so.”

11 And Moses charged the people on that day, saying,

Saa ɛda no ara, Mose hyɛɛ ɔmanfoɔ no sɛ,

12 These shall stand to bless the people on mount Garizin having gone over Jordan; Symeon, Levi, Judas, Issachar, Joseph, and Benjamin.

Sɛ motwa Asubɔnten Yordan a, Simeon, Lewi, Yuda, Isakar, Yosef ne Benyamin mmusuakuo na wɔnnyina Gerisim bepɔ so nhyira ɔman no.

13 And these shall stand for cursing on mount Gaebal; Ruben, Gad, and Aser, Zabulon, Dan, and Nephthali.

Ruben, Gad, Aser, Sebulon, Dan ne Naftali mmusuakuo nso nnyina Ebal bepɔ so nnome.

14 And the Levites shall answer and say to all Israel with a loud voice,
