Deuteronomy 28

1 And it shall come to pass, if you will indeed hear the voice of the Lord your God, to observe and do all these commands, which I charge you this day, that the Lord your God shall set you on high above all the nations of the earth;

Na sɛ mutie Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn no, na mudi mmara a mede rema mo nnɛ yi so a, Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn no, bɛpagyaw mo wɔ aman a wɔwɔ wiase nyinaa no so.

2 and all these blessings shall come upon you, and shall find you. If you will indeed hear the voice of the Lord your God,

Sɛ mutie Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn no, a mubenya saa nhyira yi nyinaa:

3 blessed [shall] you [be] in the city, and blessed shall you be in the field.

Wobehyira mo wɔ mo nkurow ne mo man mu.

4 Blessed shall be the offspring of your body, and the fruits of your land, and the herds of your oxen, and the flocks of your sheep.

Wobehyira mo yafunu mu aba, ne mo nsase so nnɔbae, ne mo nyɛmmoa, nantwimma ne nguamma.

5 Blessed shall be your barns, and your stores.

Wɔde nnuaba nkɛntɛn amaama, ne mmɔre korow a brodo no ahyɛ ma behyira mo.

6 Blessed shall you be in your coming in, and blessed shall you be in your going out.

Wobehyira mo fieba mu ne mo adifi mu.

7 The Lord deliver your enemies that withstand you utterly broken before your face: they shall come out against you one way, and they shall flee seven ways from before you.

Sɛ atamfo tow hyɛ mo so a, Awurade bedi wɔn so. Wobefi baabi atow ahyɛ mo so na wɔafa akwan ason so ahwete, afi mo anim.

8 The Lord send upon you his blessing in your barns, and on all on which you shall put your hand, in the land which the Lord your God gives you.

Biribiara a mobɛyɛ no, Awurade behyira so na obehyira mo asan. Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn no, behyira mo wɔ asase a ɔde rema mo no so.

9 The Lord raise you up for himself a holy people, as he sware to your fathers; if you will hear the voice of the Lord your God, and walk in all his ways.

Sɛ mudi Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn no, ahyɛde so na moyɛ osetie ma no a, Awurade begyina mo sɛ ne nnipa kronkron sɛnea ɔhyɛɛ mo bɔ sɛ ɔbɛyɛ no.

10 And all the nations of the earth shall see you, that the name of the Lord is called upon you, and they shall stand in awe of you.

Afei, asase so nnipa nyinaa behu sɛ, moyɛ nnipa a Awurade de ne din afrɛ mo na wobesuro mo.

11 And the Lord your God shall multiply you for good in the offspring of your body, and in the offspring of your cattle, and in the fruits of your land, on your land which the Lord sware to your fathers to give to you.

Awurade bɛma mo yiyedi a ɛboro so–mo yafunu mu aba, nyɛmmoa mma ne mo asase so nnɔbae—wɔ asase a ɔhyɛɛ mo agyanom bɔ sɛ ɔde bɛma mo no so.

12 May the Lord open to you his good treasure, the heaven, to give rain to your land in season: may he bless all the works of your hands: so shall you lend to many nations, but you shall not borrow; and you shall rule over many nations, but they shall not rule over you.

Awurade fi nʼahonya dodow a ɛwɔ soro no mu bɛma osu atɔ wɔ ne bere mu, nam so ahyira mo nnwuma a moyɛ so. Mobɛfɛm aman pii, nanso mo de, moremfɛm hwee mfi wɔn nkyɛn.

13 The Lord your God make you the head, and not the tail; and you shall then be above and you shall not be below, if you will listen to the voice of the Lord your God, in all things that I charge you this day to observe.

Sɛ mutie saa Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn no, ahyɛde a mede rema mo nnɛ yi na mudi so pɛpɛɛpɛ a, Awurade bɛyɛ mo eti na ɛnyɛ bodua, na moakorɔn daa.

14 You shall not turn aside from any of the commandments, which I charge you this day, to the right hand or to the left, to go after other gods to serve them.

Ɛnsɛ sɛ moman fa benkum anaa nifa fi ahyɛde a mede rema mo nnɛ yi biara ho sɛ morekodi anyame foforo akyi asom wɔn.

15 But it shall come to pass, if you will not listen to the voice of the Lord your God, to observe all his commandments, as many as I charge you this day, then all these curses shall come on you, and overtake you.

Na sɛ moantie Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn no, anni ne mmara ne nʼahyɛde a mede rema mo nnɛ yi nyinaa so pɛpɛɛpɛ a, saa nnome yi nyinaa bɛba abebunkam afa mo so.

16 Cursed [shall] you [be] in the city, and cursed shall you be in the field.

Nnome bɛka mo wɔ mo nkuropɔn ne mo man mu.

17 Cursed shall be your barns and your stores.

Wɔde nkɛntɛn a aduaba biara nni mu ne mmɔre korow a brodo nni mu bɛdome mo.

18 Cursed shall be the offspring of your body, and the fruits of your land, the herds of your oxen, and the flocks of your sheep.

Wɔbɛdome wo yafunu aba, ne wʼasase so nnɔbae. Ne wo nyɛmmoa mu nantwimma ne nguamma.

19 Cursed shall you be in your coming in, and cursed shall you be in your going out.

Wɔbɛdome wo fieba ne wo adifi.

20 The Lord send upon you lack, and famine, and consumption of all things on which you shall put your hand, until he shall have utterly destroyed you, and until he shall have consumed you quickly because of your evil devices, because you have forsaken me.

Awurade bɛma nnome, basabasayɛ ne huammɔdi aba ade biara a moyɛ mu, kosi sɛ awiei no wɔbɛsɛe mo koraa sɛ moayɛ bɔne na moagyaw no nti.

21 The Lord cause the pestilence to cleave to you, until he shall have consumed you off the land into which you go to inherit it.

Awurade de nyarewa bɛba mo so akosi sɛ ɔbɛsɛe mo nyinaa wɔ asase a morebɛkɔ akɔfa no so.

22 The Lord strike you with distress, and fever, and cold, and inflammation, and blighting, and paleness, and they shall pursue you until they have destroyed you.

Awurade de ɔyare a ɛbɛma mo afonfɔn bɛka mo. Ɔbɛma atiridii ne ahonhon abɔ mo na wama ɔhyew a ano yɛ den, nnɔbae nyarewa ne kakawirewire aba mo so na ahaw mo ara akosi sɛ mo ase bɛtɔre.

23 And you shall have over your head a sky of brass, and the earth under you shall be iron.

Ɔsoro a ɛkata mo ti so no bɛdan sumpii na fam adan dade.

24 The Lord your God make the rain of your land dust; and dust shall come down from heaven, until it shall have destroyed you, and until it shall have quickly consumed you.

Awurade bɛdan osutɔ a ɛwɔ mo man mu no mfutuma; ɛbɛtɔ afi soro agu mo so akosi sɛ mobɛsɛe.

25 The Lord give you up for slaughter before your enemies: you shall go out against them one way, and flee from their face seven ways; and you shall be a dispersion in all the kingdoms of the earth.

Awurade bɛma mo adi nkogu wɔ mo atamfo anim. Mobɛfa baabi akɔtow ahyɛ mo atamfo so, nanso mobɛfa akwan ahorow ason so aguan afi wɔn anim. Mobɛyɛ atantanne ama ahenni a ɛwɔ asase yi so no nyinaa.

26 And your dead men shall be food to the birds of the sky, and to the beasts of the earth; and there shall be none to scare them away.

Mo afunu bɛyɛ nnomaa ne wuram mmoa aduan na obiara nso nni hɔ saa bere no a, ɔbɛpam wɔn.

27 The Lord strike you with the botch of Egypt in the seat, and with a malignant scab, and itch, so that you can not be healed.

Awurade bɛma mpɔmpɔ a esisii wɔ Misraim no bi asisi mo. Na ɔde mpɔmpɔ, ntutui ne ntwom a wɔrentumi nsa bɛbobɔ mo.

28 The Lord strike you with insanity, and blindness, and astonishment of mind.

Awurade de adammɔ, anifurae ne adwene mu basabasayɛ bɛto mo so.

29 And you shall grope at mid-day, as a blind man would grope in the darkness, and you shall not prosper in your ways; and then you shall be unjustly treated, and plundered continually, and there shall be no helper.

Mode mo nsa bɛkeka awia ketee te sɛnea onifuraefo de ne nsa keka anadwo no. Biribiara a moyɛ no, morenni mu nkonim. Wɔbɛhyɛ mo so, abɔ mo korɔn daa na obiara remmegye mo.

30 you shall take a wife, and another man shall have her; you shall build a house, and you shall not dwell in it; you shall plant a vineyard, and shall not gather the grapes of it.

Mubesi ɔbea asiwa nso obi bɛhyɛ no ne no ada. Mubesi dan, nanso morentena mu. Mobɛyɛ bobeturo nanso morenni mu aba.

31 Your calf [shall be] slain before you, and you shall not eat of it; your ass shall be violently taken away from you, and shall not be restored to you: your sheep shall be given to your enemies, and you shall have no helper.

Wobekum mo nantwi wɔ mo anim, nanso morennya ne nam bi nwe. Wobegye mo afurum afi mo nsam a wɔrensan mfa mmrɛ mo. Wɔde mo nguan bɛma mo atamfo na morennya ɔboafo a obegye wɔn ama mo.

32 Your sons and your daughters shall be given to another nation, and your eyes wasting away shall look for them: your hand shall have no strength.

Wɔde mo mmabarima ne mo mmabea bɛma ɔman foforo na daa mobɛhwɛ wɔn ara ama mo ani atɔ dwe nanso morentumi nyɛ ho hwee.

33 A nation which you know not shall eat the produce of your land, and all your labors; and you shall be injured and crushed always.

Nnipa a munnim wɔn na wɔbɛfow mo brɛ so ade adi na daa wɔasan ahyɛ mo so.

34 And you shall be distracted, because of the sights of your eyes which you shall see.

Mo ani so ade a mubehu no bɛbɔ mo dam.

35 The Lord strike you with an evil sore, on the knees and the legs, so that you shall not be able to be healed from the sole of your foot to the crown of your head.

Awurade bɛma mpɔmpɔ a ɛyɛ yaw a wɔko a ɛnkɔ abobɔ mo nkotodwe ne mo anan ho na atrɛw afi mo nantin akosi mo mpampam.

36 The Lord carry away you and your princes, whom you shall set over you, to a nation which neither you nor your fathers know; and you shall there serve other gods, wood and stone.

Awurade bɛpam mo ne mo hene a odi mo so no akɔ ɔman bi a mo ne mo agyanom nnim so so. Ɛhɔ na mobɛsom anyame afoforo, anyame a wɔde nnua ne abo ayɛ.

37 An you shall be there for a wonder, and a parable, and a tale, among all the nations, to which the Lord your God shall carry you away.

Mobɛyɛ atantanne, akyiwade ne aserewde ama aman a Awurade de mobɛkɔ so no nyinaa so.

38 You shall carry forth much seed into the field, and you shall bring in little, because the locust shall devour it.

Mubedua bebree wɔ mo nsase so, nanso mubetwa kakraa bi, efisɛ mmoadabi bɛwe mo nnɔbae.

39 You shall plant a vineyard, and dress it, and shall not drink the wine, neither shall you delight yourself with it, because the worm shall devour it.

Mobɛyɛ bobe nturo ahwɛ so yiye nanso morennom anaa morenni so aba, efisɛ asunson bedi.

40 You shall have olive trees in all your borders, and you shall not anoint you with oil, because your olive shall utterly cast [its fruit].

Mubedua ngonnua afa mo nsase so nyinaa, nanso morennya mu ngo biara, efisɛ ngo aba no bɛtetew agu fam.

41 You shall beget sons and daughters, and they shall not be [your], for they shall depart into captivity.

Mobɛwo mmabarima ne mmabea, nanso nyɛ mo na mobɛtetew wɔn, efisɛ wɔbɛkɔ nnommum mu.

42 All your trees and the fruits of your land shall the blight consume.

Mmoadabi kuw bɛfa mo asase so nnua ne nnɔbae.

43 The stranger that is within you shall get up very high, and you shall come down very low.

Ahɔho a wɔte mo mu no bɛkorɔn abunkam mo so, nanso mobɛkɔ so amem akɔ fam.

44 He shall lend to you, and you shall not lend to him: he shall be the head, and you shall be the tail.

Wɔbɛbɔ mo bosea a moremmɔ wɔn bi. Wɔbɛyɛ eti na moayɛ dua.

45 And all these curses shall come upon you, and shall pursue you, and shall overtake you, until he shall have consumed you, and until he shall have destroyed you; because you did not listen to the voice of the Lord your God, to keep his commands, and his ordinances which he has commanded you.

Sɛ moanyɛ osetie amma Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn no, anni ahyɛde a ɔde ama mo no so a, saa nnome yi nyinaa bɛba mo so na ebedi mo akyi na abunkam afa mo so akosi sɛ wɔbɛsɛe mo.

46 And [these things] shall be signs in you, and wonders among your seed for ever;

Saa nsɛm a ɛyɛ hu yi bɛba sɛ nsɛnkyerɛnne ne kɔkɔbɔ ama mo ne mo asefo daa nyinaa.

47 because you did not serve the Lord your God with gladness and a good heart, because of the abundance of all things.

Esiane sɛ moamfa anigye ne ahosɛpɛw ansom Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn no, wɔ bere a esii mo yiye no, nti,

48 And you shall serve your enemies, which the Lord will send forth against you, in hunger, and in thirst, and in nakedness, and in the lack of all things; and you shall wear upon your neck a yoke of iron until he shall have destroyed you.

enti mubefi ɔkɔm ne osukɔm, adagyaw ne ohia buruburoo mu asom mo atamfo a Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn no, bɛsoma wɔn aba mo so no. Wɔbɛhyɛ mo nnade konnua akosi sɛ mobɛsɛe.

49 The Lord shall bring upon you a nation from the extremity of the earth, like the swift flying of an eagle, a nation whose voice you shall not understand;

Awurade de ɔman bi a ɛwɔ akyirikyiri baabi, wɔ asase ano, ɔman a monte wɔn kasa no, bɛba mo so na wɔatow ahyɛ mo so te sɛnea ɔkɔre sian no,

50 a nation bold in countenance, which shall not respect the person of the aged and shall not pity the young.

ɔman a wɔn ho yɛ hu na wommu ɔpanyin, na wonni ahummɔbɔ mma mmofra.

51 And it shall eat up the young of your cattle, and the fruits of your land, so as not to leave to you corn, wine, oil, the herds of your oxen, and the flocks of your sheep, until it shall have destroyed you;

Nʼasraafo bɛtow ahyɛ mo nyɛmmoa ne mo asase so nnɔbae so adi no fuu akosi sɛ mubewuwu. Wɔrennyaw atoko, nsa foforo anaa ngo; mo nyɛmmoa nantwimma anaa nguamma kosi sɛ mobɛsɛe.

52 and have utterly crushed you in your cities, until the high and strong walls be destroyed, in which you trust, in all your land; and it shall afflict you in your cities, which he has given to you.

Wobetua mo nkuropɔn nyinaa ano akosi sɛ wɔbɛka mo afasu dennen a mode mo ho too so sɛ ɛbɛbɔ mo ho ban wɔ mo asase no so no nyinaa no agu. Wobetua asase a Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn no, de rema mo no so nkuropɔn no nyinaa ano.

53 And you shall eat the fruit of your body, the flesh of your sons and of your daughters, all that he has given you, in your straitness and your affliction, with which your enemy shall afflict you.

Esiane ɔhaw ne abɛbrɛsɛ a ɔtamfo de bɛba mo so wɔ bere a wɔatua mo ano no mu no nti, mobɛwe mo yafunu mu aba, mo mmabarima ne mmabea a Awurade mo Nyankopɔn no de ama mo no nam.

54 He that is tender and very delicate within you shall look with an evil eye upon his brother, and the wife in his bosom, and the children that are left, which may have been left to him;

Mpo, mo mu ɔhobrɛaseni a nʼani da hɔ no renhu ɔno ara ne nuabarima anaa ne yere a ɔdɔ no, anaa ne mma a wɔte ase no mmɔbɔ,

55 so as [not] to give to one of them of the flesh of his children, whom he shall eat, because of his having nothing left him in your straitness, and in your affliction, with which your enemies shall afflict you in all your cities.

na ɔremma wɔn mu biara ne mma no mu bi nam a ɔrewe no. Esiane sɛ ɛno ara ne nea aka a ɔbɛwe wɔ bere a mo atamfo atua mo nkuropɔn no nyinaa ano rehiahia mo ho no nti.

56 And she that is tender and delicate among you, whose foot has not assayed to go upon the earth for delicacy and tenderness, shall look with an evil eye on her husband in her bosom, and her son and her daughter,

Mo mu ɔbea a ɔbrɛ ne ho ase na ɔwɔ nkatede wɔ ne mu, a mpo ɔmpɛ sɛ ɔde ne nantin besi fam no benya ne kunu a ɔdɔ no ne ɔno ara ne mmabarima anaa ne mmabea ho menasepɔw.

57 and her offspring that comes out between her feet, and the child which she shall bear; for she shall eat them because of the lack of all things, secretly in your straitness, and in your affliction, with which your enemy shall afflict you in your cities.

Ɔbea no de awo akyi ade ne abofra a wawo no foforo no besie wɔn sɛnea obetumi awe ne nyinaa wɔ kokoa mu, esiane ɔhaw ne abɛbrɛsɛ a mo atamfo de bɛba mo so, bere a wɔatua mo nkuropɔn ano no nti.

58 If you will not listen to do all the words of this law, which have been written in this book, to fear this glorious and wonderful name, the Lord your God;

Sɛ moanni mmara a wɔakyerɛw wɔ saa nhoma yi mu no nyinaa so pɛpɛɛpɛ, na moanni saa onuonyamfo ne ɔnwonwani Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn no, no din ni a,

59 then the Lord shall magnify your plagues, and the plagues of your seed, great and wonderful plagues, and evil and dwelling diseases.

Awurade de ɔyaredɔm a ɛyɛ hu bɛba mo ne mo asefo. Ɛbɛyɛ atoyerɛnkyɛm a ano yɛ den ne ɔyaredɔm a ano yɛ den na ɛbɛtena hɔ akyɛ.

60 And he shall bring upon you all the evil pain of Egypt, of which you were afraid, and they shall cleave to you.

Ɔde ɔyaredɔm ahorow a ɛbaa wɔ Misraim a ɛbɔɔ mo hu no bɛba bɛtena mo so.

61 And the Lord shall bring upon you every sickness, and every plague that is not written, and every one that is written in the book of this law, until he shall have destroyed you.

Awurade de nyarewa ahorow bebree ne atoyerɛnkyɛm a wɔnkyerɛw wɔ Mmara Nhoma yi mu no bɛbrɛ mo akosi sɛ mobɛsɛe.

62 And you shall be left few in number, whereas you were as the stars of the sky in multitude; because you did not listen to the voice of the Lord your God.

Mo a na modɔɔso te sɛ ɔsoro nsoromma no, mo so bɛtew koraa, efisɛ moantie Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn no.

63 And it shall come to pass that as the Lord rejoiced over you to do you good, and to multiply you, so the Lord will rejoice over you to destroy you; and you shall be quickly removed from the land, into which you go to inherit it.

Sɛnea na ɛyɛ Awurade anisɔ sɛ ɔbɛma mo adi yiye na moadɔɔso no, saa ara nso na ɛbɛyɛ no anisɔ sɛ ɔbɛdwerɛw mo na wasɛe mo. Obetutu mo ase afi asase a morekɔ so akɔfa no so.

64 And the Lord your God shall scatter you among all nations, from one end of the earth to the other; and you shall there serve other gods, wood and stone, which you have not known, nor your fathers.

Na Awurade bɛbɔ mo apansam afra aman nyinaa afi asase ano akosi asase ano. Ɛhɔ na mobɛsom ahɔho anyame a mo anaa mo agyanom nhuu bi da; anyame a wɔde nnua ne abo ayɛ!

65 Moreover among those nations he will not give you quiet, neither by any means shall the sole of your foot have rest; and the Lord shall give you there another and a misgiving heart, and failing eyes, and a wasting soul.

Morennya guankɔbea anaa homebea mma mo anantin wɔ saa aman no so. Ɛhɔ na Awurade bɛma mo adwene a ɛpere, aniwa a ayɛ siamoo ne koma a apa abawa.

66 And your life shall be in suspense before your eyes; and you shall be afraid by day and by night, and you shall have no assurance of your life.

Mo asetena bedi nsensɛnmu daa, na ehu bɛhyɛ mo so anadwo ne awia a munnim nea ɛrekɔ so wɔ mo asetena mu.

67 In the morning you shall say, Would it were evening! and in the evening you shall say, Would it were morning! for the fear of your heart with which you shall fear, and for the sights of your eyes which you shall see.

Anɔpa mobɛka se, “Sɛ ɛyɛɛ anwummere a!” Na anwummere nso mobɛka se, “Sɛ ɛyɛɛ anɔpa a!” Mobɛka saa, esiane ehu a ɛbɛhyɛ mo koma amaama ne nea atwa mo ho ahyia a mo ani behu no.

68 And the Lord shall bring you back to Egypt in ships, by the way of which I said, You shall not see it again; and you shall be sold there to your enemies for bondmen and bondwomen, and none shall buy you.

Na Awurade bɛma mo atenatena ahyɛn mu asan akɔ Misraim, akwantu a mehyɛɛ sɛ ɛnsɛ sɛ mutu bio no. Ɛhɔ na mode mo ho bɛma mo atamfo sɛ wɔntɔ mo sɛ nkoa, nanso obiara rempɛ sɛ ɔbɛtɔ mo.
