Deuteronomy 5
1 Moses called to all Israel, and said to them, Hear, Israel, the statutes and the ordinances which I speak in your ears this day, that you may learn them, and observe to do them.
Mose frɛɛ Israelfo no nyinaa ka kyerɛɛ wɔn se: Israel, muntie, mmara ne ahyɛde a mede rema mo nnɛ no. Munsua na munni so.
2 The LORD our God made a covenant with us in Horeb.
Bere a yɛwɔ Horeb no, Awurade yɛn Nyankopɔn ne yɛn yɛɛ apam bi.
3 The LORD did not make this covenant with our fathers, but with us, even us, who are all of us here alive this day.
Ɛnyɛ yɛn agyanom na Awurade ne wɔn yɛɛ apam no, na mmom, ɔne yɛn a yɛte ase nnɛ yi nyinaa na ɛyɛe.
4 The LORD spoke with you face to face on the mountain out of the midst of the fire,
Awurade fi bepɔw so ogya mu ne mo kasaa anikann.
5 (I stood between the LORD and you at that time, to show you the words of the LORD: for you were afraid because of the fire, and did not go up onto the mountain; ) saying,
Migyinaa mo ne Awurade ntam, na mekaa Awurade asɛm kyerɛɛ mo efisɛ na musuro ogya no nti, moamforo bepɔw no. Nsɛm a ɔkae no ni:
6 "I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
“Mene Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn, a miyii mo fii nkoasom mu wɔ Misraim no.
7 "Do not have no other gods before me.
“Monnsom onyame foforo biara nka me ho.
8 "Do not make an engraved image for yourself, or any likeness of what is in heaven above, or on the earth below, or that is in the waters below the earth.
Monnyɛ ohoni anaa biribiara a ɛsɛ ade a ɛwɔ wim, anaa nea ɛwɔ asase so, anaa nea ɛwɔ nsu mu, anaa nea ɛwɔ asase ase.
9 You must not bow down yourself to them, nor serve them; for I, the LORD, your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children, upon the third and upon the fourth [generation] of those who hate me;
Monnkotow ohoni biara nsom no wɔ ɔkwan biara so, na me, Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn, meyɛ ninkufo a metwe mma a wɔtan me no aso wɔ awofonom bɔne a wɔyɛ no ho kɔ awo ntoatoaso abiɛsa ne anan mu,
10 and showing loving kindness to thousands of those who love me and keep my commandments.
nanso meda ɔdɔ adi kyerɛ awo ntoatoaso mpem a wɔdɔ me na wodi mʼahyɛde so no.
11 "Do not take the name of the LORD your God in vain: for the LORD will not hold him guiltless who takes his name in vain.
Mommmɔ Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn no, din basabasa. Sɛ moyɛ saa a, obebu mo fɔ.
12 "Observe the Sabbath day, to keep it holy, as the LORD your God commanded you.
Monkae homeda na munni no sɛ da kronkron.
13 Six days you may labor, and do all your work;
Nnansia na momfa nyɛ mo nnwuma nyinaa,
14 but the seventh day is a Sabbath to the LORD your God. On it you must not do any work, you, your son, your daughter, your male servant, nor your female servant, your ox, nor your donkey, nor your livestock, your stranger who is within your gates; that your male servant and your female servant may rest as well as you.
na da a ɛto so ason no yɛ Homeda ma Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn. Saa da no, ɛnsɛ sɛ moyɛ adwuma biara; ɛnsɛ sɛ mo mmabarima, mo mmabea anaa mo asomfo anaa mo anantwi ne mo mfurum anaa mo ahɔho yɛ adwuma biara.
15 Remember that you were a slave in the land of Egypt, and the LORD your God brought you out of there by a mighty hand and by an outstretched arm: therefore the LORD your God commanded you to keep the Sabbath day.
Monkae sɛ bere bi a atwa mu no na moyɛ nkoa wɔ Misraim na Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn, nam anwonwatumi ne tumi nnwuma so na oyii mo fii hɔ. Ɛno nti na Awurade mo Nyankopɔn hyɛ mo sɛ munni Homeda no.
16 "Honor your father and your mother, as the LORD your God commanded you; that your days may be long, and that it may go well with you, in the land which the LORD your God gives you.
Di wʼagya ne wo na ni sɛnea Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn, ahyɛ mo no, na ama wo nkwanna aware, na asi wo yiye wɔ asase a Awurade wo Nyankopɔn de rema wo no so.
17 "Do not commit adultery.
Nni awu.
18 "Do not murder.
Nsɛe aware.
19 "Do not steal.
Mmɔ korɔn
20 "Do not give false testimony against your neighbor.
Nni wo yɔnko ho adansekurum
21 "Do not covet your neighbor's wife. Do not crave your neighbor's house, his field, or his male servant, or his female servant, his ox, or his donkey, or anything that is your neighbor's."
Mma wʼani mmere wo yɔnko yere. Mma wʼani mmere wo yɔnko fi anaa nʼasase anaa nʼakoa anaa nʼafenaa, ne nʼanantwi, nʼafurum anaa biribiara a ɛyɛ wo yɔnko dea.”
22 These words the LORD spoke to all your assembly on the mountain out of the midst of the fire, of the cloud, and of the thick darkness, with a great voice; and he added no more. And he wrote them on two tablets of stone, and gave them to me.
Eyinom ne mmaransɛm a Awurade de nne kɛse a efi ogyaframa no mu pae mu ka kyerɛɛ mo fii omununkum a esum kabii atwa ho ahyia mu wɔ bepɔw no so a wamfa hwee anka ho. Na ɔkyerɛw guu abo pon abien so de maa me.
23 It happened, when you heard the voice out of the midst of the darkness, while the mountain was burning with fire, that you came near to me, even all the heads of your tribes, and your elders;
Motee nne no fii esum mu bere a bepɔw no so redɛw ogya framfram no, mmusuakuw mu ntuanofo no nyinaa baa me nkyɛn.
24 and you said, "Look, the LORD our God has shown us his glory and his greatness, and we have heard his voice out of the midst of the fire: we have seen this day that God does speak with man, and he lives.
Wɔkae se, “Awurade, yɛn Nyankopɔn, akyerɛ yɛn nʼanuonyam ne ne tumi na yɛate ne nne afi ogya no mu. Nnɛ, yɛahu sɛ, sɛ Onyankopɔn ne onipa kasa koraa a, onipa tumi tena ase.
25 Now therefore why should we die? For this great fire will consume us: if we hear the voice of the LORD our God any more, then we shall die.
Na afei, adɛn nti na ɛsɛ sɛ yewuwu? Sɛ Awurade, yɛn Nyankopɔn, kasa kyerɛ yɛn bio a, akyinnye biara nni ho sɛ yebewu na ogya no ahyew yɛn pasaa.
26 For who is there of all flesh, that has heard the voice of the living God speaking out of the midst of the fire, as we have, and lived?
Efisɛ ɔkra teasefo bɛn na wate Onyankopɔn teasefo no nne sɛ ɛrekasa fi ogyaframa no mu na watena ase ana?
27 Go near, and hear all that the LORD our God shall say to you, and tell us all that the LORD our God speaks to you; and we will hear it, and do it."
Kɔ na kotie nea Awurade, yɛn Nyankopɔn no, ka no. Na afei, bra na bɛka biribiara a ɔka kyerɛɛ wo no kyerɛ yɛn, na yebetie na yɛadi so.”
28 The LORD heard the voice of your words, when you spoke to me; and the LORD said to me, "I have heard the voice of the words of this people, which they have spoken to you: they have well said all that they have spoken.
Awurade tee mo nne bere a mokasa kyerɛɛ me no, Awurade ka kyerɛɛ me se, “Mate nsɛm a saa nnipa yi ka kyerɛɛ wo no. Nsɛm a wɔkaa no nyinaa ye.
29 Oh that there were such a heart in them, that they would fear me, and keep my commandments always, that it might be well with them, and with their children forever.
Ao, sɛ daa wobenya koma sɛnea ɛbɛma wɔasuro me na wɔadi mʼahyɛde nyinaa so a, anka ebeye ama wɔn ne wɔn asefo nyinaa afebɔɔ.
30 "Go tell them, Return to your tents.
“Kɔ na kɔka kyerɛ wɔn se, wɔnsan mmra wɔn ntamadan mu.
31 But as for you, stand here by me, and I will tell you all the commandment, and the statutes, and the ordinances, which you shall teach them, that they may do them in the land which I give them to possess it."
Nanso wo de, wo ne me ntena ha sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a metumi de mʼahyɛde ne me mmara ama wo. Wobɛkyerɛkyerɛ nnipa no sɛnea wobetie wɔ asase a mede rema wɔn no so sɛ wɔn agyapade no.”
32 You shall observe to do therefore as the LORD your God has commanded you: you shall not turn aside to the right hand or to the left.
Enti mohwɛ yiye na n monyɛ nea Awurade mo Nyankopɔn ahyɛ mo no; momman mfa nifa anaa benkum.
33 You shall walk in all the way which the LORD your God has commanded you, that you may live, and that it may be well with you, and that you may prolong your days in the land which you shall possess.
Munni nea Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn, ahyɛ mo no nyinaa so na ama moanya nkwa, na asi mo yiye, na no nna aware wɔ asase a morekɔfa no so.
