Deuteronomy 11

1 Therefore shalt thou love Yahweh thy God and keep his observance and his statutes and his regulations and his commandments all the days.

Monnɔ Awurade mo Nyankopɔn na munni nʼapɛde, ne mmara ne nʼahyɛde so bere nyinaa.

2 And ye must know to-day, (for not with your sons [do I speak] who know not, neither have they seen) the discipline of Yahweh your God, —his greatness, his firm hand, and his stretched-out arm;

Nnɛ, muntie, sɛ ɛnyɛ mo mma na wonyaa osuahu, huu Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn no nteɛso, ne tumi, ne basa kɛse, ne nsa a wateɛ mu;

3 and his signs and his doings, which he did in the midst of Egypt, —unto Pharaoh king of Egypt and unto all his land;

nsɛnkyerɛnne a ɔyɛe ne nneɛma a ɔyɛɛ wɔ Misraim pɛɛ maa bi kaa Misraimhene Farao ne ɔman mu no nyinaa no;

4 and what he did unto the forces of Egypt—unto his horses and unto his chariots in that he caused the waters of the Red Sea to flow over their faces, when they were pursuing after you, —and so Yahweh destroyed them (unto this day);

dwuma a odii Misraim asraafo, wɔn apɔnkɔ ne wɔn nteaseɛnam no; sɛnea ɔmaa Po Kɔkɔɔ yiri faa wɔn bere a wɔtaa mo no ne sɛnea Awurade sɛee wɔn bere a wɔtaa mo no; ne sɛnea Awurade de ɔsɛe a to ntwa baa wɔn so no.

5 and what he did unto you, in the desert, —until ye came in as far as this place;

Ɛnyɛ mo mma na wohuu nea ɔyɛ maa mo wɔ sare so hɔ de kosii sɛ mubeduu ha yi;

6 and what he did to Dathan and to Abiram, sons of Eliab, son of Reuben, in that the earth opened wide her mouth, and swallowed-up them and their households and their tents, —and all the living things that attended them, in the midst of all Israel.

ne nea ɔde yɛɛ Eliab a na ɔyɛ Rubenni no mma Datan ne Abiram bere a ɔmma asase buee nʼanom wɔ mo Israelfo no anim menee wɔn ne wɔn afi ne wɔn ntamadan ne biribiara a na ɛyɛ wɔn agyapade a nkwa wɔ mu no.

7 For yours, are the eyes that have seen every great deed of Yahweh, —which he hath done.

Mmom, ɛyɛ mo ankasa mo ani na mode ahu saa nneɛma akɛse a Awurade ayɛ yi nyinaa.

8 Therefore shall ye keep all the commandment which I am commanding thee, today, —that ye may be strong, and so enter and possess the land, whither ye are passing over to possess it;

Enti munni mmara a merehyɛ mo nnɛ yi nyinaa so sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a mubenya ahoɔden akɔfa asase a morebetwa Yordan akɔ so akɔfa yi,

9 and that ye may prolong your days upon the soil which Yahweh sware unto your fathers, to give unto them and unto their seed, —a land flowing with milk and honey.

na mo nna aware asase a nufusu ne ɛwo sen wɔ so a Awurade kaa ntam kyerɛɛ mo agyanom sɛ ɔde bɛma wɔn ne wɔn asefo no so.

10 For the land which thou art entering to, possess, not like the land of Egypt, it is, from whence ye came out, —where thou didst sow thy seed, and then water it with thy foot, like a garden of herbs;

Asase a morekɔ so akɔfa no nte sɛ Misraim asase a mufi so bae no a na mudua nnɔbae a mode mo nan twa suka te sɛnea moyɛ atomude turo no.

11 but the land whereinto ye are passing over to, possess it, is a land of hills, and valleys, —which of the rain of the heavens, doth drink water:

Na asase a moretwa Yordan akɔfa no yɛ mmepɔw ne abon a enya osu a efi ɔsoro.

12 a land which Yahweh thy God careth for, —continually are the eyes of Yahweh thy God upon it, from the beginning of the year, even unto the end of the year.

Ɛyɛ asase a Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn no, ani wɔ ho. Daa Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn, ani wɔ so fi afe no mfiase de kosi nʼawie.

13 And it shall come to pass, if ye will hearken, unto my commandments, which, I am commanding you to-day, —to love Yahweh your God, and to serve him, with, all your heart, and with all your soul,

Sɛ mufi nokwaredi mu di mmara a merehyɛ ama mo nnɛ yi so sɛ mode mo koma ne mo kra nyinaa bɛdɔ Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn no, na moasom no a,

14 then [saith he] I will give the rain of your land in its season, the early rain and the latter rain; so shalt thou gather in thy corn, and thy new wine and thine oil;

ɛno de, ɔbɛtɔ osu agu no asase so ne bere mu ama mo, na moatumi atwa mo awi, nsa foforo ne ngo.

15 and I will give grass in thy field for thy cattle, —and thou shalt eat and be satisfied.

Ɔbɛma mo sare pii na mo anantwi awe na mo nso mubedidi amee.

16 Take heed to yourselves, lest your heart be befooled, —and ye turn aside and serve other gods, and bow down to them.

Monhwɛ yiye, anyɛ saa a wɔbɛtwetwe mo ama moakɔsom anyame afoforo na moakotow wɔn.

17 So would the anger of Yahweh kindle upon you and he would shut up the heavens, that there should be no rain, and the ground, would not yield her increase, —so should ye perish speedily, from off the good land, which Yahweh is giving unto you.

Ɛno na ɛbɛma Awurade abufuw ahuru atia mo; na ɔbɛto ɔsoro mu, na osu rentɔ, na asase remmɔ aduan biara, na ɛrenkyɛ na moawuwu afi asase a Awurade de rema mo no so.

18 Therefore shall ye lay these my words upon your heart, and upon your soul, —and bind them for a sign upon your hand, and they shall serve as bands between your eyes;

Enti momma me nsɛm yi ntim wɔ mo koma ne mo adwene mu. Momfa nkyekyere mo nsa sɛ nkae ade na momfa mmɔ abotiri.

19 and ye shall teach them unto your children by speaking of them, —when thou sittest in thy house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down and when thou risest up;

Monkyerɛkyerɛ mo mma na monka ho asɛm nkyerɛ wɔn bere a mote fie ne bere a monam akwan so; bere a modeda hɔ ne bere a mosɔre.

20 and thou shalt write them upon the door-posts of thy house and within thy gates:

Monkyerɛw ngu mo afi apongua ne mo abobow ano apon so,

21 that your days may multiply, and the days of your children, upon the soil which Yahweh sware unto your fathers, to give unto them, —like the days of the heavens upon the earth.

sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a, ɔsoro da so kata asase ani yi, mo ne mo mma nkwa bɛware wɔ asase a Awurade kaa ho ntam sɛ ɔde bɛma mo agyanom no so.

22 For if ye do, indeed keep, all this commandment which I am commanding you to do it, —to love Yahweh your God, to Walk in all his ways, and to cleave unto him,

Sɛ mudi ahyɛde ahorow a mede rema mo sɛ munni so; sɛ monnɔ Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn, nyɛ osetie mma no na munni no ni, yi so pɛpɛɛpɛ a,

23 then will Yahweh dispossess all these nations, from before you, —and ye shall dispossess nations greater and stronger than ye:

ɛno de, Awurade bɛpam saa aman yi nyinaa wɔ mo anim, na mubetu aman a ɛsoso na wɔyɛ den sen mo no agu.

24 every place whereon the sole of your foot shall tread yours, shall it be, —from the desert and the Lebanon from the river—the river Euphrates, even unto the hinder sea, shall be your boundary.

Baabiara a mode mo anan betia no bɛyɛ mo de. Mo ahye bɛtrɛw afi sare so akosi Lebanon, na afi Asubɔnten Eufrate akosi Ntam Po no.

25 No man shall stand before you, —the dread of you and the fear of you, will Yahweh your God put forth over the face of all the land whereon ye shall tread, as he spake unto you.

Obiara rentumi nsɔre ntia mo, efisɛ sɛnea Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn, ahyɛ bɔ no, ɔde mo ho huboa ne osuro bɛto asase no nyinaa so wɔ baabiara a mobɛkɔ.

26 See! I am setting before you to-day, —a blessing, and a curse:

Hwɛ, nnɛ mede nhyira ne nnome resi mo anim;

27 the blessing, when ye shall hearken unto the commandments of Yahweh your God, which I am commanding you to-day;

sɛ mudi Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn, mmara a merehyɛ ama mo nnɛ yi so a, ɛbɛyɛ nhyira.

28 and the curse if ye, shall not hearken unto the commandments of Yahweh your God, but shall turn aside out of the way which I am commanding you to-day, —to go after other gods which ye know not.

Na sɛ mopo Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn mmara dan fi nʼakwan a merehyɛ mo nnɛ yi so, kɔsom anyame afoforo a, ɛbɛyɛ nnome.

29 And it shall come to pass when Yahweh thy God shall bring thee into the land which thou art entering to possess, then shalt thou put the blessing, upon Mount Gerizim, and the curse, upon Mount Ebal.

Na sɛ Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn, de mo du asase a morekɔ so akɔfa no a, monka nhyira nsɛm mfi Gerisim Bepɔw no so na monka nnome nsɛm nso mfi Ebal Bepɔw so.

30 Are, they, not over the Jordan on the way towards the entering in of the sun, in the land of the Canaanite who dwelleth in the plain over against Gilgal beside the Teacher’s Terebinths?

Sɛnea munim no, mmepɔw abien yi wɔ Asubɔnten Yordan agya wɔ atɔe fam, a ɛkyerɛ owitɔe na ɛbɛn More kwae wɔ Kanaanfo a wɔte Araba no asase so; faako a wɔn ani tua Gilgal no.

31 For ye are passing over the Jordan, to enter to possess the land which Yahweh your God, is giving unto you, —so shall ye possess it and dwell therein.

Moreyɛ atwa Yordan akɔfa asase a Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn, de rema mo no. Sɛ mokɔfa saa asase no kɔtena so a,

32 Therefore shall ye observe to do all the statutes and the regulations, —which I am setting before you to-day.

monhwɛ yiye na munni mmara ne ahyɛde ahorow a mede rema mo nnɛ yi no nyinaa so.
