Deuteronomy 27

1 Moses and the elders of Israel commanded the people, saying, "Keep all the commandment which I command you this day.

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

2 It shall be on the day when you shall pass over the Jordan to the land which Jehovah your God gives you, that you shall set yourself up great stones, and 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 them all the words of this law, when you have passed over; that you may go in to the land which Jehovah your God gives you, a land flowing with milk and honey, as Jehovah, the God of your fathers, has promised 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 It shall be, when you have passed over the Jordan, that you shall set up these stones, which I command you this day, in Mount Ebal, 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 There you shall build an altar to Jehovah your God, an altar of stones: you shall lift up no iron on them.

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

6 You shall build the altar of Jehovah your God of uncut stones; and you shall offer burnt offerings thereon to Jehovah 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 sacrifice peace offerings, and shall eat there; and you shall rejoice before Jehovah your God.

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

8 You shall write on the stones all the words of this law very plainly."

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

9 Moses and the priests the Levites spoke to all Israel, saying, "Keep silence, and listen, Israel: this day you have become the people of Jehovah 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 You shall therefore obey the voice of Jehovah your God, and do his commandments and his statutes, which 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 Moses commanded the people the same day, saying,

Saa ɛda no ara, Mose hyɛɛ ɔmanfoɔ no sɛ,

12 "These shall stand on Mount Gerizim to bless the people, when you have passed 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 These shall stand on Mount Ebal for the curse: Reuben, Gad, and Asher, and Zebulun, Dan, and Naphtali.

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

14 The Levites shall answer, and tell all the men of Israel with a loud voice,
