Deuteronomy 11
1 Therefore you will love Yahweh your God and always keep his instructions, his statutes, his decrees, and his commandments.
Dɔ Awurade wo Onyankopɔn na di nʼapɛdeɛ, ne mmara ne nʼahyɛdeɛ so berɛ 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,
Montie ɛnnɛ sɛ, ɛnyɛ mo mma na wɔnyaa osuahunu hunuu Awurade mo Onyankopɔn ntenesoɔ, ne tumi, ne basa kɛseɛ, ne nsa a watene mu,
3 the signs and deeds that he did in the midst of Egypt to Pharaoh, king of Egypt, and to all his land.
nsɛnkyerɛnneɛ a ɔyɛeɛ ne nneɛma a wɔyɛɛ wɔ Misraim pɛɛ maa ebi kaa Misraimhene Farao ne ɔman mu no nyinaa.
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,
Wɔanhunu dwuma a mo Onyankopɔn dii Misraim asraafoɔ, wɔn apɔnkɔ ne wɔn nteaseɛnam, anaa sɛdeɛ ɔmaa Ɛpo Kɔkɔɔ yiri faa wɔn ɛberɛ a wɔtaa mo no ne sɛdeɛ Awurade sɛee wɔn ɛberɛ a wɔtaa mo no ne sɛdeɛ Awurade sɛee wɔn de bɛsi ɛnnɛ yi.
5 or what he did for you in the wilderness until you came to this place.
Wɔanhunu sɛdeɛ na Awurade hwɛ mo so yie wɔ ɛserɛ so hɔ kɔsii sɛ mobɛduruu ha.
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.
Na wɔnni hɔ enti, wɔanhunu deɛ wɔde yɛɛ Eliab a ɔyɛ Ruben aseni mma Datan ne Abiram ɛberɛ a wɔyɛɛ bɔne na asase mu bue menee wɔn ne wɔn afie ne wɔn ntomadan ne biribiara a na nkwa wɔ mu a ɛyɛ wɔn agyapadeɛ no.
7 But your eyes have seen all the great works of Yahweh that he did.
Na mode mo ani ahunu Awurade tumi nnwuma a ɔyɛeɛ 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,
Monni mmara a merehyɛ ama mo ɛnnɛ yi so sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a, mobɛnya ahoɔden akɔfa asase a morebɛtwa 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 nufosuo ne ɛwoɔ resene wɔ so a Awurade kaa ntam kyerɛɛ mo agyanom sɛ ɔde bɛma wɔn ne wɔn asefoɔ 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 morebɛkɔ so no nte sɛ Misraim asase a mofiri so baeɛ no a na modua mfudeɛ a mode mo nan twa nsuka te sɛ deɛ moredua nhahannuane 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 mmepɔ mmepɔ ne bɔnhwa a osuo tɔ wɔ hɔ yie
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.
a ɛyɛ asase a Awurade, mo Onyankopɔn, hwɛ so yie. Na daa Awurade mo Onyankopɔn ani wɔ so firi afe no ahyɛaseɛ kɔsi nʼawieeɛ.
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 moto mo bo ase tie me mmara a merehyɛ ama mo ɛnnɛ yi na mode mo akoma ne mo kra nyinaa dɔ Awurade, mo Onyankopɔn, na mosom 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.
ɛnneɛ, ɔbɛtɔ osuo ne berɛ mu ama mo na moatumi atwa nnɔbaeɛ de bi ayɛ nsã ne ngo.
15 I will give grass in your fields for your cattle, and you will eat and be full.
Ɔbɛma mo ɛserɛ pii na mo anantwie awe na mo nso mobɛdidi 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;
Monnnane mo akoma mfiri Awurade so nkɔsom anyame foforɔ.
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.
Sɛ moyɛ saa a, Awurade Abufuo no bɛhuru atia mo. Ɔbɛto ɔsoro mu, agyina osutɔ, na mo nnɔbaetwa ayɛ basaa. Na ntɛm so, mobɛwuwu wɔ 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 ntena mo akoma mu. Momfa nkyekyere mo nsa sɛ nkaedeɛ na momfa mmɔ abotire.
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. Sɛ mowɔ fie anaa monam ɛkwan so, sɛ moda hɔ anaa mosɔre anɔpa a, monkyerɛkyerɛ wɔn.
20 You will write them on the doorposts of your house and on your city gates,
Montwerɛ ngu mo afie aponnwa ne mo abɔntenpono ho,
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.
sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a, ɔsoro da so kata asase ani yi, mo ne mo mma ase bɛdɔre wɔ asase a Awurade kaa 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,
Monhwɛ yie na monni mmara a merehyɛ ama mo yi so; monnante Awurade, mo Onyankopɔn, akwan so na momfa mo ho mmata ne ho mfa nkyerɛ ɔdɔ a modɔ no.
23 then Yahweh will drive out all these nations from before you, and you will dispossess nations larger and mightier than yourselves.
Ɛwom sɛ aman a wɔwɔ mo asase so yɛ den sen mo deɛ, nanso Awurade bɛpamo wɔn nyinaa.
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 nan bɛtia no, asase no bɛyɛ mo dea. Mo ahyeɛ bɛyɛ ɛfiri ɛserɛ so anafoɔ kɔsi Lebanon wɔ atifi fam de firi Asubɔnten Eufrate wɔ apueeɛ fam kɔsi Ntam Po no fam.
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, ɛfiri sɛ, Awurade, mo Onyankopɔn, bɛto mo ho hu ne mo ho suro adi mo anim sɛdeɛ ɔhyɛɛ mo bɔ no wɔ baabiara a mobɛkɔ wɔ asase no so.
26 Look, I set before you today a blessing and a curse:
Hwɛ, ɛnnɛ 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 modi Awurade, mo Onyankopɔn, mmara a merehyɛ ama mo ɛnnɛ 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 Onyankopɔn mmara dane firi nʼakwan a merehyɛ mo ɛnnɛ yi so, kɔsom anyame foforɔ 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 Onyankopɔn, de mo duru asase a morekɔ so akɔfa no a, monka nhyira nsɛm mfiri Gerisim Bepɔ no so na monka nnome nsɛm nso mfiri Ebal Bepɔ 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?
Saa mmepɔ mmienu yi wɔ Asubɔnten Yordan atɔeɛ fam, asase a na Kanaanfoɔ a na wɔte Yordan subɔnhwa a ɛbɛn kuro Gilgal no te hɔ. Na wɔwɔ atɔeɛ fam a ɛbɛn More kwaeɛ 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 akɔtena asase a Awurade, mo Onyankopɔn, de rema mo no so. 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 yie na monni mmara ne ahyɛdeɛ a mede rema mo ɛnnɛ yi so.
