Deuteronomy 8

1 You shall observe to do all the commands which I charge you today, that you may live and be multiplied, and enter in and inherit the land, which the Lord your God sware [to give] to your fathers.

Monhwɛ yiye na munni ahyɛde a merema mo nnɛ yi biara so, sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a mubenya nkwa na mo ase adɔ dɔɔso na moakɔfa asase a Awurade kaa ntam de hyɛɛ mo agyanom bɔ no atena so.

2 And you shall remember all the way which the Lord your God led you in the wilderness, that he might afflict you, and try you, and that the things in your heart might be made manifest, whether you would keep his commandments or no.

Monkae sɛnea Awurade mo Nyankopɔn dii mo anim faa sare so mfe aduanan, nam so brɛɛ mo ase de sɔɔ mo suban hwɛe sɛ mubedi ne mmara so anaasɛ morenni so no.

3 And he afflicted you and straitened you with hunger, and fed you with manna, which your fathers knew not; that he might teach you that man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God shall man live.

Nokware, ɔmaa ɔkɔm dee mo nam so brɛɛ mo ase na ɔmaa mo mana, aduan a na anka mo ne mo agyanom nnii bi da, dii. Ɔyɛɛ saa de kyerɛɛ mo sɛ, ɛnyɛ aduan nko ara na ɛho hia onipa wɔ nʼasetena mu, na mmom, asɛm biara a efi Awurade anom.

4 Your garments grew not old from off you, your shoes were not worn from off you, your feet were not [painfully] hardened, behold! these forty years.

Mfe aduanan yi nyinaa mu, mo ntade antetew na mo anan ammɔ mpumpunnya na anhonhon nso.

5 And you shall know in your heart, that as if any man should chasten his son, so the Lord your God will chasten you.

Munhu wɔ mo koma mu sɛ, sɛnea ɔbeatan teɛ ne ba no, saa ara nso na Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn, teɛ mo de siesie mo no.

6 And you shall keep the commands of the Lord your God, to walk in his ways, and to fear him.

Munni Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn, ahyɛde so na monnantew nʼakwan so na momfa nidi mma no.

7 For the Lord your God will bring you into a good and extensive land, where there are torrents of waters, and fountains of deep places issuing through the plains and through the mountains:

Efisɛ mo Awurade de mo rekɔ asase pa so; asase a nsuten, mmura ne nsuti sen wɔ abon ne mmepɔw mu;

8 a land of wheat and barley, [wherein are] vines, figs, pomegranates; a land of olive oil and honey;

asase a atoko, awi, bobe, borɔdɔma, atoaa, ngodua ne ɛwo wɔ so.

9 a land on which you shall not eat your bread with poverty, and you shall not lack any thing upon it; a land whose stones are iron, and out of its mountains you shall dig brass.

Ɛyɛ asase a aduan abu wɔ so a wonni biribiara ho hia wɔ so; asase a ɛso abo yɛ adaban na wobetumi atu kɔbere wɔ ne mmepɔw mu.

10 And you shall eat and be filled, and shall bless the Lord your God on the good land, which he has given you.

Sɛ mudidi mee a, munhyira Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn, wɔ asase pa a ɔde ama mo no nti.

11 Take heed to yourself that you forget not the Lord your God, so as not to keep his commands, and his judgments, and ordinances, which I command you this day:

Na monhwɛ yiye na mo werɛ amfi Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn, sɛ morenni ne mmara ne nʼahyɛde a merehyɛ mo nnɛ yi so.

12 lest when you have eaten and are full, and have built goodly houses, and lived in them;

Anyɛ saa na sɛ mudidi na momee na musisi mo afi afɛfɛ, na mokɔtenatena mu

13 and your oxen and your sheep are multiplied to you, and your silver and your gold are multiplied to you, and all your possessions are multiplied to you,

na mo anantwi ne nguan ase dɔ, na munya dwetɛ ne sika pii, na mo agyapade nyinaa dɔɔso

14 you should be exalted in heart, and forget the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage:

a, saa bere no na ɛsɛ sɛ mohwɛ yiye. Monnyɛ ahomaso na mommma mo werɛ mmfi Awurade mo Nyankopɔn a oyii mo fii Misraim nkoasom asase so no.

15 who brought you through that great and terrible wilderness, where [is] the biting serpent, and scorpion, and drought, where there was no water; who brought you a fountain of water out of the flinty rock:

Ɔno na odii mo anim yii mo fii sare a na ɛso yɛ hu, asase sakoo a osukɔm wɔ so, na awɔ ne nkekantwɛre a wɔn ano wɔ bɔre wɔ so no so. Ɔmaa mo nsu fi ɔbotan mu.

16 who fed you with manna in the wilderness, which you knew not, and your fathers knew not; that he might afflict you, and thoroughly try you, and do you good in your latter days.

Ɔmaa mo mana aduan a mo agyanom nnim dii wɔ sare so. Ɔyɛɛ eyi de brɛɛ mo ase, de sɔɔ mo hwɛe na wama awiei no asi mo yiye.

17 Lest you should say in your heart, My strength, and the power of mine hand have wrought for me this great wealth.

Ɔyɛɛ saa de kyerɛɛ mo sɛ, ɛnsɛ sɛ modwene sɛ mo ahonya no fi mo ankasa mo ahoɔden mu.

18 But you shall remember the Lord your God, that he gives you strength to get wealth; even that he may establish his covenant, which the Lord sware to your fathers, as at this day.

Daa monkae sɛ Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn, a ɔma mo tumi ma moyɛ adefo no, ɔyɛ saa de di apam a ɔne mo agyanom hyɛe no so.

19 And it shall come to pass if you do at all forget the Lord your God, and should go after other gods, and serve them, and worship them, I call heaven and earth to witness against you this day, that you shall surely perish.

Sɛ mo werɛ fi Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn, na mokodi anyame afoforo akyi, som wɔn, kotow wɔn a, sɛe na wɔbɛsɛe mo.

20 As also the other nations which the Lord God destroys before your face, so shall you perish, because you listened not to the voice of the Lord your God.

Sɛnea Awurade asɛe amanaman a na wɔwɔ mo anim no, mo nso sɛ moantie Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn no a, saa ara na wɔbɛsɛe mo.
