Deuteronomy 31

1 And he went Moses and he spoke the words these to all Israel.

Bere a Mose kaa saa nsɛm yi kyerɛɛ Israelfo wiee no,

2 And he said to them [am] a son of one hundred and twenty year[s] I this day not I am able still to go out and to come and Yahweh he has said to me not you will pass over the Jordan this.

ɔkaa bio se, “Mprempren madi mfe ɔha ne aduonu, nti merentumi nni mo anim bio. Awurade aka akyerɛ me sɛ merentwa Asubɔnten Yordan.

3 Yahweh God your he - [is] about to pass over before you he he will destroy the nations these from to before you and you will dispossess them Joshua he [is] about to pass over before you just as he spoke Yahweh.

Nanso Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn no, ankasa bedi mo anim atwa. Ɔbɛsɛe aman a wɔte hɔ na mobɛfa wɔn asase no. Yosua ne onipa foforo a obedi mo anim sɛnea Awurade hyɛɛ mo bɔ no.

4 And he will do Yahweh to them just as he did to Sihon and to Og [the] kings of the Amorite[s] and to land their whom he destroyed them.

Awurade bɛsɛe aman aman a wɔte asase no so no sɛnea ɔsɛee Sihon ne Og a na wɔyɛ Amorifo ahemfo no.

5 And he will deliver up them Yahweh before you and you will do to them according to all the commandment which I have commanded you.

Awurade de nnipa a wɔte hɔ no bɛhyɛ mo nsa na ɛsɛ sɛ mo ne wɔn di no sɛnea mahyɛ mo no.

6 Be strong and be bold may not you be afraid and may not you be terrified of them for - Yahweh God your he [is] the [one who] goes with you not he will abandon you and not he will forsake you.

Monyɛ den na mo bo nyɛ duru! Munnsuro wɔn! Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn no, bedi mo anim. Ɔrenni mo huammɔ na ɔrennyaw mo nso.”

7 And he summoned Moses Joshua and he said to him to [the] eyes of all Israel be strong and be bold for you you will go with the people this into the land which he swore Yahweh to ancestors their to give to them and you you will give as an inheritance it them.

Afei, Mose frɛɛ Yosua ka kyerɛɛ no wɔ Israelfo no nyinaa anim se, “Yɛ den na yɛ nnam, na wo na wode ɔman yi bɛkɔ asase a Awurade kaa wɔn agyanom ntam sɛ ɔde bɛma wɔn no so; na wo na wobɛkyɛ ama wɔn.

8 And Yahweh he - [is] the [one who] goes before you he he will be with you not he will abandon you and not he will forsake you not you must be afraid and not you must be dismayed.

Awurade na ɔredi wʼanim. Ɔbɛka wo ho; ɔrenni wo huammɔ na ɔrennyaw wo nti nsuro na mma wo koma ntu!”

9 And he wrote down Moses the law this and he gave it to the priests [the] sons of Levi who carry [the] ark of [the] covenant of Yahweh and to all [the] elders of Israel.

Afei, Mose kyerɛw mmara yi too hɔ; ɔde maa Lewifo asɔfo a wɔsoaa Awurade apam adaka no ne Israel mpanyimfo nyinaa.

10 And he commanded Moses them saying from [the] end of - seven years at [the] appointed time of [the] year of the remission at [the] festival of the booths.

Mose hyɛɛ wɔn se, “Mfe ason biara awiei, Asese Afahyɛ mu no, wɔmfa obiara ka a ɔde no nkyɛ no.

11 When comes all Israel to appear with [the] presence of Yahweh God your in the place which he will choose you will read aloud the law this before all Israel in ears their.

Israelfo nyinaa nhyia wɔ Awurade mo Nyankopɔn no, anim wɔ faako a ɔbɛkyerɛ no, na moakenkan saa mmara yi wɔ wɔn anim ama wɔate.

12 Assemble the people the men and the women and the little one[s] and sojourner your who [is] in gates your so that they may hear and so that they may learn and they will fear Yahweh God your and they will take care to do all [the] words of the law this.

Frɛ nnipa no nyinaa, mmarima, mmea, mmofra ne ahɔho a wɔte mo nkurow so nso sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a wɔbɛte na wobesua sɛ, ɛsɛ sɛ wosuro Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn no, na wobedi mmara no so pɛpɛɛpɛ

13 And children their who not they have known they will hear and they will learn to fear Yahweh God your all the days which you [will be] alive on the land where you [are] about to pass over the Jordan there towards to take possession of it.

na ama wɔn mma a wonnim mmara no ate na wɔasua sɛnea ɛsɛ sɛ wosuro Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn no, mmere dodow a mote asase a moretwa Yordan akɔfa sɛ agyapade no so.”

14 And he said Yahweh to Moses here! they have drawn near days your to die summon Joshua and present yourselves at [the] tent of meeting so I may commission him and he went Moses and Joshua and they presented themselves at [the] tent of meeting.

Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose se, “Wo wu bere aso. Frɛ Yosua na fa no kɔ Ahyiae Ntamadan no mu, faako a mede nʼadwuma bɛhyɛ ne nsa no.” Enti Mose ne Yosua kɔdaa wɔn ho adi wɔ Ahyiae Ntamadan no mu.

15 And he appeared Yahweh at the tent in a pillar of cloud and it stood [the] pillar of cloud over [the] entrance of the tent.

Na Awurade yii ne ho adi kyerɛɛ wɔn wɔ omununkum fadum mu, na omununkum no gyinaa ntamadan no abobow ano.

16 And he said Yahweh to Moses here you [are] about to lie down with ancestors your and it will arise the people this and it will act as a prostitute - after - [the] gods of foreignness of the land where it [is] about to go there towards in midst its and it will forsake me and it will break covenant my which I made with it.

Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose se, “Ɛrenkyɛ wubewu na woakɔka wʼagyanom ho, na ɛrenkyɛ na saa nnipa yi de wɔn ho bɛma anyame hɔho a wɔwɔ asase a wɔrekɔ so no so no. Wobegyaw me na wɔabu apam a me ne wɔn hyehyɛɛ no so.

17 And it will burn anger my on it on the day that and I will forsake them and I will hide face my from them and it will be for devouring and they will come upon it calamities many and troubles and it will say on the day that ¿ not on for not God my [is] in midst my have they come upon me the calamities these.

Na saa da no, me bo befuw wɔn na mapo wɔn; mede mʼanim behintaw wɔn na wɔbɛsɛe wɔn. Ɔhaw a emu yɛ den ahorow pii bɛba wɔn so ama wɔabisa se, ‘So ɛnsɛ sɛ saa ɔhaw yi ba, esiane sɛ Onyankopɔn nni yɛn nkyɛn bio no nti?’

18 And I certainly I will hide face my on the day that on all the evil which it has done for it has turned to gods other.

Saa bere no mede mʼanim behintaw wɔn esiane wɔn bɔne ahorow a wɔayɛ wɔ anyame afoforo a wɔsom no nti.

19 And therefore write down for yourselves the song this and teach it [the] people of Israel put it in mouth their so that it may become for me the song this a witness on [the] people of Israel.

“Afei, monkyerɛw saa dwom yi mu nsɛm mfa na monkyerɛ Israelfo no, na wɔnto sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ adansede ama me na mede atia wɔn.

20 If I will bring it into the land - which I swore to ancestors its flowing of milk and honey and it will eat and it will be satisfied and it will grow fat and it will turn to gods other and they will serve them and they will spurn me and it will break covenant my.

Mede wɔn bɛba asase a nufusu ne ɛwo resen wɔ so sɛnea mekaa ntam hyɛɛ wɔn agyanom bɔ no. Na wodidi mee yɛ akɛse a, afei, wɔbɛdan wɔn ani akɔsom anyame afoforo apo me, nam so abu mʼapam no so.

21 And it will be that they will come upon it calamities many and troubles and it will testify the song this before it to a witness for not it will be forgotten from [the] mouth of offspring its for I know intention its which it [is] making this day before I will bring it into the land which I swore.

Afei, ɔhaw ne akwanside bebree ba wɔn so a, dwom yi bedi adanse atia wɔn, efisɛ wɔn asefo werɛ remfi da. Minim nea wotumi yɛ koraa ansa na mede wɔn bɛba asase a maka ho ntam ahyɛ bɔ no so.”

22 And he wrote down Moses the song this on the day that and he taught it [the] people of Israel.

Enti Mose kyerɛw dwom no guu hɔ saa da no na ɔkyerɛɛ Israelfo no.

23 And he commissioned Joshua [the] son of Nun and he said be strong and be bold for you you will bring [the] people of Israel into the land which I swore to them and I I will be with you.

Afei, Awurade hyɛɛ Nun babarima Yosua sɛ, “Yɛ den na yɛ nnam, efisɛ wo na wode Israelfo no bɛba asase a mekaa ntam hyɛɛ ho bɔ no so na mʼankasa mɛka mo ho.”

24 And it was - when finished Moses to write down [the] words of the law this on a book until were complete they.

Bere a Mose kyerɛw mmara nsɛm no nyinaa fi mfiase kosii awiei no guu nhoma mu wiei no,

25 And he commanded Moses the Levites [who] carry [the] ark of [the] covenant of Yahweh saying.

ɔde saa ahyɛde yi maa Lewifo a na wɔsoa Awurade apam adaka no:

26 Take [the] book of the law this and you will put it from [the] side of [the] ark of [the] covenant of Yahweh God your and it will become there on you a witness.

“Momfa saa Mmara Nhoma yi nkɔto Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn, apam adaka no nkyɛn. Ɛhɔ na ɛbɛda sɛ adansede a etia Israelfo.

27 For I I know rebellion your and neck your stiff here! when still I [am] alive with you this day rebellious you have been with Yahweh and indeed? for after death my.

Efisɛ minim sɛnea moyɛ atuatewfo ne asoɔden. Mpo, me ne mo da so wɔ hɔ yi, moatew Awurade so atua. Na me wu akyi no, atua bɛn na morentew!

28 Assemble to me all [the] elders of tribes your and officials your and let me speak in ears their the words these so I may call as witnesses against them the heavens and the earth.

Momfrɛ mo mpanyimfo nyinaa ne mo mmusuakuw ntuanofo nyinaa sɛnea metumi akasa akyerɛ wɔn na mafrɛ ɔsoro ne asase de adi adanse atia wɔn.

29 For I know after death my that certainly you will act corruptly! and you will turn aside from the way which I have commanded you and it will happen to you evil at [the] end of the days for you will do the evil in [the] eyes of Yahweh to provoke to anger him by [the] work of hands your.

Minim sɛ me wu akyi no, mobɛsɛe koraa na moaman afi ɔkwan a makyerɛ mo sɛ momfa so no so. Mmere a ɛreba no, amanehunu bɛba mo so, efisɛ monam bɔne a mobɛyɛ wɔ Awurade anim no so no bɛhwanyan nʼabufuw.”

30 And he spoke Moses in [the] ears of all [the] assembly of Israel [the] words of the song this until were complete they.

Enti Mose kaa dwom no mu nsɛm nyinaa fi ti kosi ti kyerɛɛ Israelfo a wɔahyia hɔ no.
