Leviticus 26

1 Ye shall make you no idols, neither shall ye rear you up a graven image, or a pillar, neither shall ye place any figured stone in your land, to bow down unto it: for I am the LORD your God.

“‘Monnyɛ abosom. Munnsisi ahoni anaa abo mma mo ho. Mommfa abo a wɔatwa nsisi mo asase so sɛ morebɛkotow wɔn. Mene Awurade mo Nyankopɔn no.

2 Ye shall keep my sabbaths, and reverence my sanctuary: I am the LORD.

“‘Ɛsɛ sɛ mudi me Homeda, na mode nidi ma me kronkronbea. Mene Awurade.

3 If ye walk in my statutes, and keep my commandments, and do them;

“‘Sɛ mudi me mmara no nyinaa so a,

4 then I will give your rains in their season, and the land shall yield her increase, and the trees of the field shall yield their fruit.

daa mɛtɔ osu ama mo ama mo nnɔbae ayɛ yiye abu so, na mo nnua nso bɛsow aba a ɛbɛkyɛ wɔ nnua no so.

5 And your threshing shall reach unto the vintage, and the vintage shall reach unto the sowing time: and ye shall eat your bread to the full, and dwell in your land safely.

Na sɛ edu odua bere so bio koraa a, mo borɔdɔma bɛkɔ so abere. Mubedidi amee na moatena asase no so asomdwoe mu.

6 And I will give peace in the land, and ye shall lie down, and none shall make you afraid: and I will cause evil beasts to cease out of the land, neither shall the sword go through your land.

“‘Mɛma mo asomdwoe, na mɛma mo ada a munnsuro hwee. Mɛpam mmoa bɔne afi mo ho.

7 And ye shall chase your enemies, and they shall fall before you by the sword.

Mobɛtaa mo atamfo; na wobewuwu wɔ mo afoa ano.

8 And five of you shall chase an hundred, and an hundred of you shall chase ten thousand: and your enemies shall fall before you by the sword.

Mo mu baanum bɛka ɔha agu, na mo mu ɔha aka mpem du agu! Mo atamfo bɛtotɔ wɔ afoa ano wɔ mo anim.

9 And I will have respect unto you, and make you fruitful, and multiply you; and will establish my covenant with you.

“‘Mɛhwɛ mo so na mama mo adɔ, na madi apam a me ne mo pamee no so.

10 And ye shall eat old store long kept, and ye shall bring forth the old because of the new.

Mo nnɔbae bebu so a sɛ otwabere foforo du so a, morenhu nea mode bɛyɛ.

11 And I will set my tabernacle among you: and my soul shall not abhor you.

Na mɛtena mo mu, na merenkyi mo.

12 And I will walk among you, and will be your God, and ye shall be my people.

Me ne mo bɛnantew, na mayɛ mo Nyankopɔn, na moayɛ me nkurɔfo.

13 I am the LORD your God, which brought you forth out of the land of Egypt, that ye should not be their bondmen; and I have broken the bars of your yoke, and made you go upright.

Mene Awurade mo Nyankopɔn a ɔde mo fi Misraim asase so bae sɛnea morenyɛ Misraimfo nkoa bio no. Mibubuu mo konnua nkɔnsɔnkɔnsɔn, na ɛma mo anantew anuonyam so.

14 But if ye will not hearken unto me, and will not do all these commandments;

“‘Na sɛ moantie me, anni mʼasɛm so,

15 and if ye shall reject my statutes, and if your soul abhor my judgments, so that ye will not do all my commandments, but break my covenant;

na mopo mʼahyɛde ne me mmara na moanni so, bu mʼapam so a,

16 I also will do this unto you; I will appoint terror over you, even consumption and fever, that shall consume the eyes, and make the soul to pine away: and ye shall sow your seed in vain, for your enemies shall eat it.

nea mɛyɛ mo ni: Mɛma mo koma atutu na mama nsamanwaw ayɛ mo, na atiridiinini abɔ mo. Mo ani betutu, na mo nkwa so ahuan. Mubedua nnɔbae agu kwa, efisɛ mo atamfo na wobedi.

17 And I will set my face against you, and ye shall be smitten before your enemies: they that hate you shall rule over you; and ye shall flee when none pursueth you.

Meyi mʼani afi mo so, na moaguan afi mo atamfo anim. Wɔn a wɔtan mo no bedi mo so. Mubeguan bere a obiara ntaa mo mpo.

18 And if ye will not yet for these things hearken unto me, then I will chastise you seven times more for your sins.

“‘Na sɛ mokɔ so yɛ asoɔden a, mɛtwe mo bɔne no so aso mmɔho ason.

19 And I will break the pride of your power; and I will make your heaven as iron, and your earth as brass:

Mɛsɛe mo ahantan tumi no na mayɛ mo soro sɛ dade ne mo fam sɛ kɔbere.

20 and your strength shall be spent in vain: for your land shall not yield her increase, neither shall the trees of the land yield their fruit.

Mobɛsɛe mo ahoɔden kwa, na mo asase rennya nnɔbae biara, na ɛso nnua nso rensow aba.

21 And if ye walk contrary unto me, and will not hearken unto me; I will bring seven times more plagues upon you according to your sins.

“‘Na sɛ tie ara na morentie me a, mo bɔne nti, mede ɔyaredɔm mmɔho ason a ɛfata mo bɔne no begu mo so.

22 And I will send the beast of the field among you, which shall rob you of your children, and destroy your cattle, and make you few in number; and your ways shall become desolate.

Mɛma nkekaboa abekunkum mo mma na wɔakunkum mo anantwi, na matew mo dodow so, na mo akwan bɛda mpan a obi mfa so bio.

23 And if by these things ye will not be reformed unto me, but will walk contrary unto me;

“‘Na sɛ eyi antumi ansakra mo, na mokɔ so tia mʼapɛde a,

24 then will I also walk contrary unto you; and I will smite you, even I, seven times for your sins.

me nso, metia mo apɛde, na me ara mʼankasa mɛtwe mo aso mpɛn ason wɔ mo bɔne ho.

25 And I will bring a sword upon you, that shall execute the vengeance of the covenant; and ye shall be gathered together within your cities: and I will send the pestilence among you; and ye shall be delivered into the hand of the enemy.

Menam ɔko so bebu mʼapam so ako atia mo de atua mo so ka. Mubeguan akɔ mo nkurow mu, na mede nyarewa bɛtoa mo wɔ hɔ. Na mo atamfo bedi mo so.

26 When I break your staff of bread, ten women shall bake your bread in one oven, and they shall deliver your bread again by weight: and ye shall eat, and not be satisfied.

Mɛsɛe mo nnuan a mubenya nyinaa akosi sɛ mpo, fononoo baako brodo a ɛbɛto no na mmusuakuw du bedi. Aduan kakra a mubedi no akyi, ɔkɔm bɛde mo.

27 And if ye will not for all this hearken unto me, but walk contrary unto me;

“‘Na sɛ mokɔ so yɛ asoɔden a,

28 then I will walk contrary unto you in fury; and I also will chastise you seven times for your sins.

mo bɔne nti, me bo befuw mo na matwe mo aso a emu yɛ den mmɔho ason.

29 And ye shall eat the flesh of your sons, and the flesh of your daughters shall ye eat.

Mobɛwe mo mmabarima ne mo mmabea nam.

30 And I will destroy your high places, and cut down your sun-images, and cast your carcases upon the carcases of your idols; and my soul shall abhor you.

Mɛsɛe mo sorɔnsorɔmmea. Metwitwa mo aduhuam afɔremuka agu, na mahyehyɛ mo afunu wɔ mo ahoni a enni nkwa no so; na mɛpo mo.

31 And I will make your cities a waste, and will bring your sanctuaries unto desolation, and I will not smell the savour of your sweet odours.

Mɛma mo nkurow ayɛ amamfo na masɛe baabi a mosom nyinaa, na mapo mo ohuam afɔrebɔ no.

32 And I will bring the land into desolation: and your enemies which dwell therein shall be astonished at it.

Ampa ara, mɛma mo asase so ada mpan na mo atamfo atena so, na nea mɛyɛ mo no ayɛ mo nwonwa.

33 And you will I scatter among the nations, and I will draw out the sword after you: and your land shall be a desolation, and your cities shall be a waste.

Mɛbɔ mo apete aman no a morekɔ so nyinaa so, na mede ɔko asɛe mo. Mo asase bɛda mpan na wɔasɛe mo nkurow.

34 Then shall the land enjoy her sabbaths, as long as it lieth desolate, and ye be in your enemies’ land; even then shall the land rest, and enjoy her sabbaths.

Akyiri no, asase no bɛda hɔ ahome de asi mfe dodow a moamma anhome no anan; ɛbɛda hɔ wɔ mmere a mowɔ atamfo nsam wɔ wɔn nsase so no nyinaa. Na asase no ahome, na anya ne home nna nso.

35 As long as it lieth desolate it shall have rest; even the rest which it had not in your sabbaths, when ye dwelt upon it.

Bere a asase no da mpan nyinaa, ebenya home a moamma annya wɔ Homeda dodow a motenaa so no.

36 And as for them that are left of you, I will send a faintness into their heart in the lands of their enemies: and the sound of a driven leaf shall chase them; and they shall flee, as one fleeth from the sword; and they shall fall when none pursueth.

“‘Wɔn a wogyaw wɔn hɔ a wonwui no nso, mɛma wɔatwe wɔn akɔ akyirikyiri nsase so sɛ ɔko mu nneduafo ne nkoa. Ɛhɔ na wɔbɛtena daa wɔ ehu mu. Wɔte sɛ mframa rebɔ ahaban koraa a, wobeguan te sɛ nea obi a okura afoa repam wɔn; wɔbɛhwehwe ase wɔ bere a obi ntaa wɔn.

37 And they shall stumble one upon another, as it were before the sword, when none pursueth: and ye shall have no power to stand before your enemies.

Obiara rentaa wɔn nanso ehu nti, wobehintihintiw wɔn ho wɔn ho te sɛnea wɔreguan afi akono a wonni tumi biara a wɔde begyina wɔn atamfo anim no.

38 And ye shall perish among the nations, and the land of your enemies shall eat you up.

Mobɛyera wɔ aman mu, na mo atamfo asɛe mo.

39 And they that are left of you shall pine away in their iniquity in your enemies’ lands; and also in the iniquities of their fathers shall they pine away with them.

Wɔn a wɔbɛka no, wɔn bɔne nti, wɔn ho bɛyeraw wɔn wɔ atamfo nsase so, bɔne a wɔn agyanom yɛe no nti.

40 And they shall confess their iniquity, and the iniquity of their fathers, in their trespass which they trespassed against me, and also that because they have walked contrary unto me,

“‘Nanso akyiri no, me nkurɔfo bɛka wɔn bɔne ne wɔn agyanom bɔne. Wɔbɛka sɛnea wodii me huammɔ na wotiaa me no.

41 I also walked contrary unto them, and brought them into the land of their enemies: if then their uncircumcised heart be humbled, and they then accept of the punishment of their iniquity;

Sɛ me nso mitia wɔn sɛ nea ɛsɛ na mede wɔn kɔ wɔn atamfo asase so a, afei, wɔn komaden no ano bɛbrɛ ase, na wobetua wɔn bɔne so ka.

42 then will I remember my covenant with Jacob; and also my covenant with Isaac, and also my covenant with Abraham will I remember; and I will remember the land.

Afei, mɛkae apam a mene Yakob, Isak ne Abraham ayɛ, na mɛkae asase no.

43 The land also shall be left of them, and shall enjoy her sabbaths, while she lieth desolate without them; and they shall accept of the punishment of their iniquity: because, even because they rejected my judgments, and their soul abhorred my statutes.

Asase no da hɔ dinn no, ebedi ne homeda. Nanso akyiri no, wobenya wɔn asotwe sɛ wɔanni me nhyehyɛe so na wɔpoo mʼahyɛde.

44 And yet for all that, when they be in the land of their enemies, I will not reject them, neither will I abhor them, to destroy them utterly, and to break my covenant with them: for I am the LORD their God:

Na nea wɔyɛɛ no nyinaa akyi no, merensɛe wɔn ne mʼapam no korakora, efisɛ mene Awurade wɔn Nyankopɔn.

45 but I will for their sakes remember the covenant of their ancestors, whom I brought forth out of the land of Egypt in the sight of the nations, that I might be their God: I am the LORD.

Mɛkae tete apam a me ne wɔn agyanom a miyii wɔn fii Misraim, bere a amanaman nyinaa rehwɛ no yɛe no. Me Awurade ne wɔn Nyankopɔn.’”

46 These are the statutes and judgments and laws, which the LORD made between him and the children of Israel in mount Sinai by the hand of Moses.

Eyinom ne mmara ne ahyɛde a Awurade nam Mose so de maa Israelfo no wɔ Sinai Bepɔw so no.
