Deuteronomy 29
1 These are the words that Yahweh commanded Moses to tell the people of Israel in the land of Moab, words that were added to the covenant that he had made with them at Horeb.
Eyinom ne nhyehyɛe a ɛwɔ apam a Awurade hyɛɛ Mose sɛ ɔne Israelfo no nyɛ wɔ Moab nka apam a ɔne wɔn yɛɛ no wɔ Horeb no mu no ho.
2 Moses called to all Israel and said to them, “You have seen everything that Yahweh did before your eyes in the land of Egypt to Pharaoh, to all his servants, and to all his land—
Mose frɛɛ Israelfo no nyinaa ka kyerɛɛ wɔn se: Moahu nea Awurade yɛɛ Farao ne ne mpanyimfo ne ne man nyinaa wɔ Misraim no.
3 the great sufferings that your eyes saw, the signs, and those great wonders.
Mo ankasa muhuu sɔhwɛ akɛse, nsɛnkyerɛnne a ɛyɛ hu ne anwonwade akɛse no.
4 But until today Yahweh has not given you a heart to know, eyes to see, or ears to hear.
Nanso de besi nnɛ yi, Awurade mmaa mo adwene a ɛte asɛm ase anaa ani a ehu ade anaa aso a ɛte asɛm.
5 I have led you for forty years in the wilderness; your clothes did not wear out on you, and your sandals did not wear out on your feet.
Nanso Awurade se, mfe aduanan a midii mo anim faa sare so no mu no, mo ntama antetew, na mo mpaboa a ɛhyehyɛ mo anan nso anhwere.
6 You did not eat any bread, and you did not drink any wine or other alcoholic drinks, so that you might know that I am Yahweh your God.
Moanni brodo, annom nsa anaa nsa a ano yɛ den. Meyɛɛ saa sɛnea mubehu sɛ mene Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn no.
7 When you came to this place, Sihon, the king of Heshbon, and Og, the king of Bashan, came out against us to fight, and we struck them down.
Yeduu ha no, Hesbonhene Sihon ne Basanhene Og ba bɛko tiaa yɛn, nanso yedii wɔn so.
8 We took their land and gave it as an inheritance to the Reubenites, to the Gadites, and to the half tribe of Manasseh.
Yɛfaa wɔn asase de maa Ruben ne Gad mmusuakuw ne Manase abusuakuw no fa sɛ wɔn agyapade.
9 Therefore keep the words of this covenant and do them, so that you may prosper in everything that you do.
Ɛno nti, munni saa apam yi so sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a biribiara a mobɛyɛ no bɛyɛ yiye.
10 You stand today, all of you, before Yahweh your God; your chiefs, your tribes, your elders, and your officers—all the men of Israel,
Mo nyinaa—mo mmusuakuw mpanyimfo, mo atemmufo, mo ahwɛfo ne Israel mmarima nyinaa, nnɛ mugyina Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn no, anim;
11 your little ones, your wives, and the foreigner who is among you in your camp, from him who cuts your wood to him who draws your water.
mo ne mo mma ne mo yerenom ne ahɔho a wɔte mo mu a wobu mo nnua, soa mo nsu.
12 You are here in order to enter into the covenant of Yahweh your God and into the oath that Yahweh your God is making with you today,
Mugyina ha sɛ mo ne Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn no, rebɛyɛ apam; apam a Awurade ne mo reyɛ nnɛ na ɔde ntam resɔw ano
13 so that he may make you today into a people for himself, and that he may be God for you, as he spoke to you, and as he swore to your ancestors, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.
na wasi so gyinae sɛ nnɛ, moyɛ ne nkurɔfo na ɔno nso bɛyɛ mo Nyankopɔn, sɛnea ɔhyɛɛ mo bɔ no na ɔkaa ntam kyerɛɛ mo agyanom Abraham, Isak ne Yakob no.
14 For it is not only with you that I am making this covenant and this oath—
Mereyɛ saa apam yi a ne ntam bata ho a, ɛnyɛ mo nko a,
15 with everyone standing here with us today before Yahweh our God—but also with those who are not here with us today.
mo ne yɛn gyina ha nnɛ wɔ Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn no, anim na mmom, wɔn a wonni ha nnɛ nso ka ho bi.
16 You know how we lived in the land of Egypt, and how we came through the midst of the nations through which you passed.
Mo ankasa munim sɛnea yɛtenaa Misraim ne sɛnea yɛreba ha no yɛfaa aman so besii ha.
17 You have seen their disgusting idols made of wood and stone, silver and gold, that were among them.
Muhuu akyiwade ahoni a wɔde nnua ne abo ne dwetɛ ne sikakɔkɔɔ ayɛ wɔ wɔn nkyɛn.
18 Make sure there is not among you any man, woman, clan, or tribe whose heart is turning away today from Yahweh our God, so as to go worship the gods of those nations. Make sure there is not among you any root that produces gall and wormwood.
Monhwɛ yiye sɛ ɔbarima anaa ɔbea anaa abusua biara a ɛwɔ mo mu nnɛ no mu biara koma rennan mfi Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn no, ho nkɔsom saa aman yi anyame; monhwɛ sɛ ntin biara nni mo mu a epuw bɔre a ɛyɛ nwen saa.
19 When that person hears the words of this curse, he will bless himself in his heart and say, 'I will have peace, though I walk in the stubbornness of my heart.' This would destroy the wet together with the dry.
Sɛ saa onipa no te ntam yi mu nsɛm na ohyira ne ho, na ɔka wɔ ne tirim se, “Me ho sɔnn, ɛmfa ho sɛ menam asoɔden kwan so.” Eyi de atoyerɛnkyɛm bɛba asase a so afɔw ne nea so awo no nyinaa so.
20 Yahweh will not pardon him, but instead, the anger of Yahweh and his jealousy will smolder against that man, and all the curses that are written in this book will come on him, and Yahweh will blot out his name from under heaven.
Awurade remfa nkyɛ saa onipa no. Nʼabufuw ne ne ninkunu bɛdɛw atia no. Nnome a wɔakyerɛw no saa nhoma yi mu no nyinaa bɛba ne so na Awurade bɛpepa ne din afi ɔsoro ase.
21 Yahweh will set him apart for disaster out of all the tribes of Israel, in keeping with all the curses of the covenant that are written in this book of the law.
Awurade bɛtwe no afi Israel mmusuakuw nyinaa mu na wahwie apam no mu nnome nyinaa a wɔakyerɛw wɔ saa mmara nhoma no mu no agu ne so.
22 The generation to come, your children who will rise up after you, and the foreigner who comes from a distant land, will speak when they see the plagues on this land and the diseases with which Yahweh has made it sick—
Mo mma a wɔbɛba wɔ daakye awo ntoatoaso mu no ne wɔn a wofi ahɔho ase a wofi akyirikyiri asase so behu asase no sɛe ne nyarewa a Awurade de bɛbrɛ asase no.
23 and when they see that the whole land has become sulfur and burning salt, where nothing is sown or bears fruit, where no vegetation grows, like the overthrow of Sodom and Gomorrah, Admah and Zeboyim, that Yahweh destroyed in his anger and wrath—
Wobehu sɛ, wɔn asase no nyinaa adan sufre ne nkyene a wonnua so hwee, na hwee mfifi wɔ so na ahabammono biara nnyina so, a ɛnyɛ yiye na hwee nso nnyin wɔ so; sare ahaban mpo. Ɛbɛyɛ sɛ Sodom ne Gomora, Adma ne Seboim a Awurade sɛee no nʼabufuwhyew mu no.
24 they will say together with all the other nations, 'Why has Yahweh done this to this land? What does the heat of this great anger mean?'
Aman a atwa ahyia no bebisa se, “Adɛn nti na Awurade ayɛ saa asase yi saa? Adɛn nti na ne bo fu dennen saa?”
25 Then people will say, 'It is because they abandoned the covenant of Yahweh, the God of their ancestors, that he made with them when he brought them out of the land of Egypt,
Na wɔbɛka akyerɛ wɔn se, “Saa asɛm yi sii, efisɛ nnipa a wɔwɔ asase no so buu apam a wɔne Awurade, wɔn agyanom Nyankopɔn no, yɛe bere a oyii wɔn fii Misraim asase so no.
26 and because they went and served other gods and bowed down to them, gods that they had not known and that he had not given to them.
Wɔdan kɔsom anyame afoforo wɔkotow wɔn, anyame a wonnim wɔn, anyame a Awurade nkyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ wɔnsom.
27 Therefore the anger of Yahweh has been kindled against this land, so as to bring on it all the curses that are written in this book.
Ɛno nti Awurade abufuw dɛw tiaa saa asase yi, nam so de nnome a wɔakyerɛw wɔ saa nhoma yi mu no nyinaa baa wɔn so no.
28 Yahweh has uprooted them from their land in anger, in wrath, and in great fury, and has thrown them into another land, as today.'
Abufuwhyew mu, Awurade tutuu ne nkurɔfo ase fii wɔn asase so twaa wɔn asu de wɔn koguu asase foforo so, sɛnea ɛte mprempren yi.”
29 The secret matters belong alone to Yahweh our God; but the things that are revealed belong forever to us and to our descendants, so that we may do all the words of this law.
Kokoamsɛm yɛ Awurade, yɛn Nyankopɔn no, dea, nanso nneɛma a wɔda no adi no yɛ yɛn ne yɛn asefo dea daa, sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a yebedi saa mmara yi mu nsɛm so.
