< Deuteronomy 32 >

1 Give ear O heavens so let me speak and it may hear the earth [the] words of mouth my.
Monyɛ aso, Ao ɔsoro na mɛkasa! Tie, Ao asase, nsɛm a ɛfiri mʼanom.
2 May it drop like the rain teaching my may it distil like the dew speech my like showers of rain on grass and like copious showers on vegetation.
Me nkyerɛkyerɛ bɛtɔ agu mo so sɛ nsuo; me kasa bɛgu sɛ obosuo. Me nsɛm bɛtɔ sɛ osuo a ɛgu ɛserɛ foforɔ so, te sɛ nsuo a ɛpete afifideɛ foforɔ so.
3 For [the] name of Yahweh I will proclaim ascribe greatness to God our.
Mɛbɔ Awurade din; Animuonyam wɔ yɛn Onyankopɔn.
4 The rock [is] perfect work his for all ways his [are] justice a God of faithfulness and there not [is] injustice [is] righteous and upright he.
Ɔyɛ Ɔbotan; nʼadwuma yɛ pɛ; Biribiara a ɔyɛ nam ne kwan so, na ɛyɛ. Ɔyɛ Onyankopɔn nokwafoɔ a ɔnyɛ mfomsoɔ; Ɔteneneeni ne nokwafoɔ ne no.
5 It has acted corruptly to him not children his blemish their a generation perverse and crooked.
Nanso wɔayɛ amumuyɛsɛm atia no; sɛ wɔyɛ saa a, na wɔyɛ ne mma anaa? Wɔyɛ adaadaafoɔ ne nkyirimma kɔntɔnkye.
6 ¿ To Yahweh do you repay this O people foolish and not wise ¿ not [is] he father your he created you he he made you and he established you.
Saa na ɛsɛ sɛ mo ne Awurade di no? Mo nkwaseafoɔ ne adwenemherɛfoɔ. Ɛnyɛ ɔno ne mo Agya, mo yɛfoɔ? Ɛnyɛ ɔno na ɔbɔɔ mo na ɔmaa mo nnyinasoɔ?
7 Remember [the] days of antiquity consider [the] years of a generation and a generation ask father your so he will tell you old [people] your so they may say to you.
Monkae tete nna; monnwene awoɔ ntoatoasoɔ a atwam ho. Mommisa mo agya na ɔbɛkyerɛ mo. Mommisa mo mpanimfoɔ na wɔbɛka akyerɛ mo.
8 When gave inheritances to [the] Most High nations when separated he [the] children of humankind he fixed boundaries of peoples to [the] number of [the] people of Israel.
Ɛberɛ a Ɔsorosoroni kyekyɛɛ nsase maa amanaman, na ɔkyekyɛɛ adasamma mu no, ɔtotoo ahyeɛ maa nnipa no sɛdeɛ Israelfoɔ no ano sie.
9 For [the] portion of Yahweh [is] people his Jacob [is] [the] measured portion of inheritance his.
Ɛfiri sɛ, Israelfoɔ yɛ Awurade dea; Yakob yɛ nʼagyapadeɛ sononko.
10 He found it in a land of wilderness and in a wasteland of howling of a desolate place he surrounded it he took care of it he guarded it like [the] pupil of eye his.
Ɔhunuu wɔn wɔ ɛserɛ asase so Asase kesee a hwee nni so so. Ɔtwaa wɔn ho hyiaeɛ, hwɛɛ wɔn so; Wɛn wɔn sɛ nʼagyapadeɛ a ɛsom bo.
11 Like an eagle [which] it stirs up nest its over young ones its it hovers it spreads out wings its it takes it it carries it on pinion its.
Sɛdeɛ ɔkɔdeɛ hwanyan ne mma, na ɔbɔ mpɛmpɛn fa wɔn ho, saa ara na ɔtrɛɛ ne ntaban mu bumaa wɔn, sɔɔ wɔn mu den de wɔn tu kɔɔ soro.
12 Yahweh alone he guided it and there not with him [was] a god of foreignness.
Awurade nko na ɔkyerɛ wɔn ɛkwan. Wɔtenaa ase a wɔnni ananafoɔ anyame biara.
13 He caused to ride it on ([the] high places of *Q(k)*) [the] land and it ate fruits of [the] field and he suckled him honey from a rock and oil from flint of rock.
Ɔma wɔnante faa nkokoɔ so; Ɔma wɔdi mfuo so nnɔbaeɛ; ɔde abotan mu woɔ, ne ngo a ɛfiri abohemaa mu siesie wɔn.
14 Curd of [the] herd and milk of [the] flock with fat of lambs and rams [the] sons of Bashan and goats with [the] fat of [the] kidneys of wheat and blood of grape[s] you drank wine.
Ɔde anantwie nufosuo mu sradeɛ ne nnwan nufosuo, nnwan ne mmirekyie mu sradeɛ ma wɔdiiɛ. Ɔde Basan nnwennini ne nnwan a wɔadɔre, ne atokoɔ papa maa wɔn. Monom bobesa papa a ɛfiri bobe mu.
15 And he grew fat Jeshurun and he kicked you have grown fat you have become bloated you have become gorged and he abandoned God [who] he made him and he treated with contempt [the] rock of salvation his.
Nanso, ankyɛre Yeshurun dɔree sradeɛ yɛɛ ahomasoɔ; nnipa no mu yɛɛ duru, yɛɛ abrane, yɛɛ pemee! Afei, wɔpaa Onyankopɔn a ɔbɔɔ wɔn; wɔammu wɔn Botan a ɔyɛ wɔn nkwagyeɛ no.
16 They made jealous him by strange [gods] by abominations they provoked to anger him.
Wɔkanyane ne ninkunutwe, ɛfiri sɛ wɔsomm anyame foforɔ; wɔyɛɛ akyiwadeɛ pii de hyɛɛ no abufuo.
17 They sacrificed to the demons [which] not [are] God gods [which] not they had known them new [gods] [which] from near they had come [which] not they had known about them ancestors your.
Wɔbɔɔ afɔdeɛ maa ahonhom fi, anyame huhuo, anyame a na wɔnnim wɔn dada, anyame a wɔbaa nnansa yi ara, anyame a na wɔn agyanom nsuro wɔn.
18 [the] rock [which] he fathered You you forgot and you forgot God [who] gave birth to you.
Mopaa Ɔbotan a ɔyɛɛ mo agya no. Mo werɛ firii Onyankopɔn a ɔwoo mo no.
19 And he saw Yahweh and he spurned from [the] provocation of sons his and daughters his.
Awurade hunuu yei na wɔn ho yɛɛ no nwunu. Ɔno ankasa mmammarima ne ne mmammaa hyɛɛ no abufuo.
20 And he said I will hide face my from them I will see what? [will be] end their for [are] a generation of perversiti they children [whom] not faithfulness [is] in them.
Ɔkaa sɛ, “Mɛgya wɔn hɔ; Mɛma wɔn awieeɛ aba! Ɛfiri sɛ, wɔyɛ awoɔ ntoatoasoɔ kɔntɔnkye; mma a wɔnni nokorɛ.
21 They they have made jealous me by not a god they have provoked to anger me by vanities their and I I will make jealous them by not a people by a nation foolish I will provoke to anger them.
Wɔde anyame foforɔ som akanyane me ninkuntwe; wɔde anyame huhuo ahyɛ me abufuo. Afei, mɛhyira aman a wɔnyɛ me ɔman mpo ama wɔn ani abere; mɛhyira aman amanmufoɔ a wɔnni nteaseɛ ahyɛ wɔn abufuo.
22 For a fire it has been kindled by anger my and it has burned to Sheol lowest and it has consumed [the] earth and produce its and it has set ablaze [the] foundations of [the] mountains. (Sheol h7585)
Mʼabufuo dɛre sɛ ogya, na ɛhye kɔsi damena mu. Ɛsɛe asase ne so nnɔbaeɛ nyinaa na ɛpaapae mmepɔ fapem. (Sheol h7585)
23 I will catch up on them calamities arrows my I will use up on them.
“Mɛhɔre amanehunu wɔ wɔn so na mato me bɛmma awowɔ wɔn.
24 [people] weakened of Famine and [people] consumed of plague and destruction bitter and tooth of animals I will send on them with [the] venom of [things which] crawl of [the] dust.
Mede ɛkɔm kɛseɛ, huraeɛnini ne owuyadeɛ bɛba wɔn so. Wɔde wiram mmoa se ne awɔ a wɔn ano wɔ borɔ a wɔwea fam bɛha wɔn.
25 From outside it will make childless a sword and [will be] from inner rooms terror both young man as well as young woman a suckling-child with a person of gray hair.
Mmɔntene so no wɔbɛwuwu akofena ano, na afie mu, ehu bɛtɔ wɔn so. Mmeranteɛ ne mmabaawa mmɔfra ne mpanin nyinaa.
26 I said I will cut in pieces them I will make cease from humankind memory their.
Meyɛɛ mʼadwene sɛ mɛbɔ wɔn ahwete ama wɔn nkaeɛ ayera.
27 If not [the] provocation of an enemy I was afraid lest they should misconstrue opponents their lest they should say hands our it was raised and not Yahweh he did all this.
Nanso, mesuroo ɔtamfoɔ fɛdie, sɛ ebia atiafoɔ rente aseɛ na wɔaka sɛ, ‘Yɛn tumi adi nkonim! Ɛnyɛ Awurade na ɔyɛeɛ!’”
28 For [are] a nation perishing of counsel they and there not in them [is] understanding.
Israel yɛ ɔman a wɔnni adwene. Nnipa no yɛ nkwaseafoɔ, na wɔnni nteaseɛ.
29 If they were wise they will comprehend this they will understand end their.
Ao, sɛ wɔnim nyansa a, anka wɔbɛte yei ase! Ao, anka wɔbɛhunu wɔn hyɛberɛ!
30 How? will he pursue one [person] a thousand and two [people] will they put to flight? ten thousand if in-deed rock their he had sold them and Yahweh he had delivered up them.
Ɛbɛyɛ dɛn na onipa baako ataa nnipa apem, na baanu bɛma ɔpedu adwane, gye sɛ wɔn Botan atɔn wɔn. Gye sɛ Awurade ayi wɔn ama.
31 For not [is] like rock our rock their and enemies our assessments.
Na wɔn botan nte sɛ yɛn Botan, sɛdeɛ wɔhunu no.
32 For [is] from [the] vine of Sodom vine their and from [the] terraced fields of Gomorrah grapes their [are] grapes of poison clusters [are] bitter of them.
Wɔn bobe nyini firi Sodom bobe mu firi Gomora bobe nturom. Wɔn bobe aba yɛ awuduro na wɔn siaka nso yɛ nwono.
33 [is the] venom of Serpents wine their and [the] poison of cobras cruel.
Wɔn bobesa yɛ awɔ ano borɔ; aprammire ano borɔ kɔdiawuo.
34 ¿ Not [is] that stored up with me sealed up in storehouses my.
“Merekora saa nneɛma yi nyinaa, asɔ ano de asie mʼadekoradan mu.
35 [belong] to Me vengeance and retribution to a time [when] it will slip foot their for [is] near [the] day of disaster their and it will make haste impending [things] to them.
Mɛtɔ awere; wɔn a ɛfata wɔn no, ɛbɛtua wɔn so ka. Ɛrenkyɛre wɔn nan bɛwatiri. Wɔn amanehunu da no bɛduru, na wɔn hyɛberɛ bɛto wɔn.”
36 For he will judge Yahweh people his and on servants his he will have compassion if he will see that it has been used up hand and there not [is] shut up and freed.
Awurade bɛbu ne nkurɔfoɔ atɛn na wasesa nʼadwene wɔ ne nkoa ho, Ɛberɛ a wahunu sɛ wɔn ahoɔden asa, na ɛnkaa obiara, akoa anaa ɔdehyeɛ.
37 And he will say where? [are] gods their [the] rock [which] they sought refuge in it.
Ɔbɛbisa sɛ, “Afei wɔn anyame no wɔ he, ɔbotan a wɔde yɛɛ wɔn dwanekɔbea no,
38 Which [the] fat of sacrifices their they ate they drank [the] wine drink-offering their let them arise and let them help you let it be over you a shelter.
anyame a wɔdii wɔn afɔrebɔdeɛ mu sradeɛ no na wɔnom wɔn afɔrebɔdeɛ mu nsã no? Ma saa anyame no nsɔre mmɛboa mo! Ma wɔnyɛ mo dwanekɔbea!
39 See - now that I I [am] he and there not [is] a god with me I I put to death and I may restore to life I wound and I I heal and there not from hand my [is] a deliverer.
“Afei, monhunu sɛ, me ara me ne no! Onyame biara nni hɔ sɛ me! Me na mekum na mema nkwa: Me na mepira, na mesa; obi ntumi nnye wo mfiri me nsam.
40 For I lift up to heaven hand my and I will say [am] living I for ever.
Afei, mepagya me nsa kyerɛ soro Ka sɛ: Sɛ mete ase yi,
41 If I sharpen [the] lightning of sword my so it may take hold on judgment hand my I will return vengeance to foes my and to [those who] hate me I will repay.
Sɛ mese mʼakofena a ɛpa yerɛ yerɛ ano na mefiri atemmuo ase a, mɛtɔ mʼatamfoɔ so awere na matua wɔn a wɔtan me so ka.
42 I will make drunk arrows my from blood and sword my it will devour flesh from [the] blood of [the] slain and [the] captive from [the] head of [the] leaders of [the] enemy.
Mɛma me bɛmma anom mogya abo, na mʼakofena asɛe honam, atɔfoɔ ne nnommumfoɔ mogya, ne atamfoɔ ntuanofoɔ tiri.”
43 Shout for joy O nations people his for [the] blood of servants his he will avenge and vengeance he will return to foes his and he will make atonement for land his people his.
Ao ɔsorosoro, mo ne no nni ahurisie, ɛfiri sɛ, ɔbɛtɔ nʼasomfoɔ mogya so were. Ɔbɛtɔ nʼatamfoɔ so awere na wadwira nʼasase ne ne nkurɔfoɔ ho.
44 And he came Moses and he spoke all [the] words of the song this in [the] ears of the people he and Hoshea [the] son of Nun.
Mose ne Nun babarima Hosea baeɛ bɛkaa dwom yi mu nsɛm nyinaa kyerɛɛ nnipa no.
45 And he finished Moses to speak all the words these to all Israel.
Mose wiee saa dwom no mu nsɛm no ka no,
46 And he said to them set heart your to all the words which I [am] warning you this day that you will command them children your to take care to do all [the] words of the law this.
ɔka kaa ho sɛ, “Momfa nsɛm a maka akyerɛ mo no nyinaa nsie mo akoma mu. Monka nkyerɛ mo mma nso sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a wɔbɛdi emu asɛm biara so sɛ mmara.
47 For not [is] a word [too] empty it for you for it [is] lives your and by the word this you will prolong days on the land where you [are] about to pass over the Jordan there towards to take possession of it.
Saa nkyerɛkyerɛ yi nyɛ nsɛm bi kwa, ɛyɛ mo nkwa! Sɛ modi so a, mo nkwa nna bɛware wɔ asase a moretwa Asubɔnten Yordan akɔtena so no so.”
48 And he spoke Yahweh to Moses on [the] substance of the day this saying.
Ɛda no ara, Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose sɛ,
49 Go up to [the] mountain of the Abarim this [the] mountain of Nebo which [is] in [the] land of Moab which [is] on [the] face of Jericho and see [the] land of Canaan which I [am] about to give to [the] people of Israel to a possession.
“Kɔ Moab, kɔ mmepɔ a ɛwɔ asuo no apueeɛ no so, na foro Nebo bepɔ a ɛne Yeriko di nhwɛanim no. To wʼani hwɛ Kanaan asase no, asase a mede rema Israelfoɔ sɛ wɔn agyapadeɛ no.
50 And die on the mountain where you [are] about to go up there towards and be gathered to people your just as he died Aaron brother your on Hor the mountain and he was gathered to people his.
Ɛhɔ na wobɛwu wɔ bepɔ no so, na woakɔka wʼagyanom ho, sɛdeɛ wo nua Aaron wuu wɔ Hor bepɔ so kɔkaa nʼagyanom ho no.
51 On that you acted unfaithfully against me in among [the] people of Israel at [the] waters of Meribah Kadesh [the] wilderness of Zin on that not you honored as holy me in among [the] people of Israel.
Ɛfiri sɛ, mo baanu dii me hwammɔ wɔ Israelfoɔ mu wɔ Meriba ne Kades asuo ho wɔ Sin ɛserɛ so. Moanni me kronkronyɛ ho adanseɛ ankyerɛ Israelfoɔ no wɔ hɔ.
52 For from before you will see the land and there towards not you will go into the land which I [am] about to give to [the] people Israel.
Ɛno enti, mobɛhunu asase no afiri akyiri, nanso mo nan rensi asase a mede rema Israelfoɔ no so.”
