Deuteronomy 11
1 Therefore you will love Yahweh your God and always keep his instructions, his statutes, his decrees, and his commandments.
Monnɔ Awurade mo Nyankopɔn na munni nʼapɛde, ne mmara ne nʼahyɛde so bere nyinaa.
2 Notice that I am not speaking to your children, who have not known nor have they seen the punishment of Yahweh your God, his greatness, his mighty hand, or his outstretched 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 the signs and deeds that he did in the midst of Egypt to Pharaoh, king of Egypt, and to 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 Neither did they see what he did to the army of Egypt, to their horses, or to their chariots, how he made the water of the Sea of Reeds overwhelm them as they pursued after you, and how Yahweh has destroyed them until today,
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 or what he did for you in the wilderness until you came to this place.
Ɛnyɛ mo mma na wohuu nea ɔyɛ maa mo wɔ sare so hɔ de kosii sɛ mubeduu ha yi;
6 They had not seen what Yahweh had done to Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab son of Reuben, how the earth opened its mouth and swallowed them up, their households, their tents, and every living thing that followed them, in the middle 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 But your eyes have seen all the great works of Yahweh that he did.
Mmom, ɛyɛ mo ankasa mo ani na mode ahu saa nneɛma akɛse a Awurade ayɛ yi nyinaa.
8 Therefore keep all the commandments that I am commanding you today, that you may be strong, and go in and possess the land where you are going 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 you may prolong your days in the land that Yahweh swore to your fathers to give to them and to their descendants, 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, where you go in to possess it, is not like the land of Egypt, from where you came, where you sowed your seed and watered it with your 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, where you go over to possess it, is a land of hills and valleys, and drinks water of the rain of the heavens,
Na asase a moretwa Yordan akɔfa no yɛ mmepɔw ne abon a enya osu a efi ɔsoro.
12 a land that Yahweh your God cares for; the eyes of Yahweh your God are always upon it, from the beginning of the year to 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 It will happen, if you will listen diligently to my commandments that I command you today, 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 that I will give the rain of your land in its season, the former rain and the latter rain, that you may gather in your grain, your new wine, and your oil.
ɛno de, ɔbɛtɔ osu agu no asase so ne bere mu ama mo, na moatumi atwa mo awi, nsa foforo ne ngo.
15 I will give grass in your fields for your cattle, and you will eat and be full.
Ɔbɛma mo sare pii na mo anantwi awe na mo nso mubedidi amee.
16 Pay attention to yourselves so that your heart is not deceived, and you turn aside and worship other gods and bow down to them;
Monhwɛ yiye, anyɛ saa a wɔbɛtwetwe mo ama moakɔsom anyame afoforo na moakotow wɔn.
17 so that the anger of Yahweh is not kindled against you; and so that he does not shut up the heavens so that there will be no rain, and the land will not yield its fruit, and so that you perish quickly from off the good land that Yahweh is giving 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 lay up these words of mine in your heart and soul, bind them as a sign on your hand, and let them be as frontlets 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 You will teach them to your children and talk about them when you sit in your house, when you walk on the road, when you lie down, and when you get 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 You will write them on the doorposts of your house and on your city gates,
Monkyerɛw ngu mo afi apongua ne mo abobow ano apon so,
21 that your days and the days of your children may be multiplied in the land that Yahweh swore to your ancestors to give them for as long as the heavens are above 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 you diligently keep all these commandments that I am commanding you, so as to do them, to love Yahweh your God, to walk in all his ways, and to cling to 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 Yahweh will drive out all these nations from before you, and you will dispossess nations larger and mightier than yourselves.
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 where the sole of your foot will tread will be yours; from the wilderness to Lebanon, from the river, the Euphrates River, to the western sea will be your border.
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 will be able to stand before you. Yahweh your God will lay the fear of you and the terror of you upon all the land that you tread on, as he has said to 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 Look, I set before you today a blessing and a curse:
Hwɛ, nnɛ mede nhyira ne nnome resi mo anim;
27 the blessing, if you obey the commandments of Yahweh your God that I command you today,
sɛ mudi Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn, mmara a merehyɛ ama mo nnɛ yi so a, ɛbɛyɛ nhyira.
28 and the curse, if you do not obey the commandments of Yahweh your God, but turn aside from the way that I command you today, to go after other gods that you have not known.
Na sɛ mopo Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn mmara dan fi nʼakwan a merehyɛ mo nnɛ yi so, kɔsom anyame afoforo a, ɛbɛyɛ nnome.
29 It will happen, when Yahweh your God brings you into the land which you go to possess, that you will set the blessing on Mount Gerizim, and the curse on 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 beyond the Jordan, west of the western road, in the land of the Canaanites who live in the Arabah, over against Gilgal, beside the oaks of Moreh?
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 you are to cross over the Jordan to go in to possess the land that Yahweh your God is giving you, and you will possess it and live in it.
Moreyɛ atwa Yordan akɔfa asase a Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn, de rema mo no. Sɛ mokɔfa saa asase no kɔtena so a,
32 You will keep all the statutes and the decrees that I set before you today.
monhwɛ yiye na munni mmara ne ahyɛde ahorow a mede rema mo nnɛ yi no nyinaa so.
