Deuteronomy 27

1 And Moses and [the] elderly of Israel command the people, saying, “Keep all the command which I am commanding you today;

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

2 and it has been, in the day that you pass over the Jordan to the land which your God YHWH is giving to you, that you have raised up great stones for yourself, and plastered 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 written on them all the words of this law in your passing over, so that you go into the land which your God YHWH is giving to you—a land flowing with milk and honey, as YHWH, God of your fathers, has spoken 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 has been, in your passing over the Jordan, you raise up these stones which I am commanding you today, in Mount Ebal, and you have plastered 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 built an altar there to your God YHWH, an altar of stones; you do not wave iron over them.

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

6 You build the altar of your God YHWH [with] complete stones, and have caused burnt-offerings to ascend on it to your God YHWH,

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

7 and sacrificed peace-offerings, and eaten there, and rejoiced before your God YHWH,

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

8 and written on the stones all the words of this law, well engraved.”

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

9 And Moses speaks—the priests, the Levites, also—to all Israel, saying, “Keep silent and hear, O Israel: This day you have become a people for your God YHWH;

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 have listened to the voice of your God YHWH, and done His commands and His statutes which I am commanding you today.”

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

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

Saa ɛda no ara, Mose hyɛɛ ɔmanfoɔ no sɛ,

12 “These stand on Mount Gerizzim to bless the people, in your passing over the Jordan: Simeon, and Levi, and Judah, and Issachar, and 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 stand, for the reviling, on Mount Ebal: Reuben, Gad, and Asher, and Zebulun, Dan, and Naphtali.”

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

14 And the Levites have answered and said to every man of Israel [with] a loud voice:

Na afei, Lewifoɔ nteam ngu nnipa a wɔwɔ Israel nyinaa so sɛ:
