Deuteronomy 6
1 Now these are the commandments, statutes, and decrees that Yahweh your God has commanded me to teach you, so that you might keep them in the land that you are going over the Jordan to possess;
Eyinom ne ahyɛde, mmara ne nhyehyɛe a Awurade mo Nyankopɔn ka kyerɛɛ me se menkyerɛkyerɛ mo na munni so wɔ asase a moretwa Yordan akɔfa no so,
2 so that you might honor Yahweh your God, so as to keep all his statutes and commandments that I am commanding you—you, your sons, and your sons' sons, all the days of your lives, so that your days may be prolonged.
sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a mo mma ne wɔn mma besuro Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn, mmere dodow a mote ase no, na moadi ne mmara ne nʼahyɛde a mede ma mo no nyinaa so nyinaa so a mo nkwanna aware.
3 Therefore listen to them, Israel, and keep them, so that it may go well with you, so that you may greatly multiply, in a land flowing with milk and honey, as Yahweh, the God of your fathers, has promised you would do.
Muntie, Ao Israel, na monhwɛ yiye nni so sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a ebesi mo yiye na mo ase atrɛw yiye wɔ asase a nufusu ne ɛwo resen wɔ so no so sɛnea Awurade, mo agyanom Nyankopɔn, hyɛɛ mo ho bɔ no.
4 Listen, Israel: Yahweh our God is one.
Tie, Ao Israel, Awurade yɛn Nyankopɔn yɛ Awurade koro.
5 You will love Yahweh your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your might.
Dɔ Awurade wo Nyankopɔn fi wo koma nyinaa mu ne wo kra nyinaa mu ne wʼahoɔden nyinaa mu.
6 The words that I am commanding you today will be in your heart;
Momma saa mmaransɛm a mede rema wo nnɛ yi ntena mo koma mu.
7 and you will diligently teach them to your children; you will talk about them when you sit in your house, when you walk on the road, when you lie down, and when you get up.
Momfa nhyɛ mo mma mu. Sɛ mote fie anaa monam ɔkwan so, sɛ moda hɔ anaa mosɔre a, monka ho asɛm.
8 You will tie them as a sign upon your hand, and they will serve as frontlets between your eyes.
Monkyekye no sɛ agyiraehyɛde mmɔ mo nsa na momfa bi mmɔ abotiri.
9 You will write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates.
Monkyerɛw ngu mo afi apongua ne mo abobow ano apon so.
10 When Yahweh your God brings you into the land that he swore to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, that he would give you, with large and very good cities that you did not build,
Awurade mo Nyankopɔn de mo ba asase a ɔkaa ntam sɛ ɔde bɛma mo agyanom Abraham, Isak ne Yakob no, asase a nkuropɔn a ɛnyɛ mo na mokyekyeree ahyɛ so ma no so,
11 and houses full of all kinds of good things that you did not make, cisterns that you did not dig, and vineyards and olive trees that you did not plant, you will eat and be satisfied—
afi a nneɛma pa ahorow a ɛnyɛ mo na moyɛe ahyɛ no ma, mmura a ɛnyɛ mo na mututui, bobeturo a ɛnyɛ mo na moyɛe ne ngonnua a ɛnyɛ mo na muduae no so. Sɛ mudidi mee wɔ saa asase yi so a,
12 then be careful so that you do not forget Yahweh, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
monhwɛ yiye na mo werɛ amfi Awurade a ogyee mo fii nkoasom mu wɔ Misraim asase so no.
13 You will honor Yahweh your God; him you will worship, and you will swear by his name.
Ɛsɛ sɛ musuro Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn, na mosom ɔno nko ara. Ne din nko ara na momfa nka ntam.
14 You will not go after other gods, the gods of the peoples who are all around you—
Munnni anyame foforo akyi; anyame a wɔyɛ nnipa a wɔatwa mo ho ahyia no anyame no;
15 for Yahweh your God in the midst of you is a jealous God—if you do, the anger of Yahweh your God will be kindled against you and he will destroy you from the surface of the earth.
na Awurade mo Nyankopɔn a ɔwɔ mo ntam no yɛ Onyankopɔn ninkufo a nʼabufuw no bɛhyew mo, na ɔbɛsɛe mo afi asase no so.
16 You will not test Yahweh your God as you tested him at Massah.
Monnsɔ Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn, nhwɛ sɛnea moyɛe bere a na mowɔ Masa no.
17 You will diligently keep the commandments of Yahweh your God, his solemn commands, and his statutes, that he has commanded you.
Ɛsɛ sɛ mudi Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn, ahyɛde ne nea ɛwɔ mmara a ɔde ama mo no mu no so pɛpɛɛpɛ.
18 You will do what is right and good in the sight of Yahweh, that it may go well with you, and that you may go in and possess the good land that Yahweh swore to your fathers,
Monyɛ de ɛteɛ na eye wɔ Awurade ani so na biribiara awie mo yiye. Na moakɔ akɔfa asase pa a Awurade hyɛɛ ho bɔ kyerɛɛ mo agyanom no,
19 to drive out all your enemies from before you, as Yahweh has said.
na moapam atamfo a wɔwɔ mo anim no nyinaa sɛnea Awurade kae no.
20 When your son asks you in time to come, saying, 'What are the covenant decrees, the statutes, and the other decrees that Yahweh our God commanded you?'
Daakye bi, sɛ mo mma bisa mo se, “Saa mmara ne nʼahyɛde a Awurade, yɛn Nyankopɔn, de ama mo yi ase ne dɛn?”
21 then you will say to your son, 'We were Pharaoh's slaves in Egypt; Yahweh brought us out of Egypt with a mighty hand,
a monka nkyerɛ wɔn se, “Na yɛyɛ Farao nkoa wɔ Misraim nanso Awurade nam anwonwatumi so yii yɛn fii Misraim.
22 and he displayed signs and wonders, great and severe, on Egypt, on Pharaoh, and on all his house, before our eyes;
Yɛn ani tua Awurade nsɛnkyerɛnne ne anwonwade akɛse na ɛyɛ hu a ɔyɛ tiaa Misraim, Farao ne ne nkurɔfo nyinaa.
23 and he brought us out from there, so that he might bring us in, to give us the land that he swore to our fathers.
Oyii yɛn fii Misraim sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a, obetumi de asase a wahyɛ yɛn agyanom ho bɔ no ama yɛn.
24 Yahweh commanded us to always keep all these statutes, to fear Yahweh our God for our good, so that he might keep us alive, as we are today.
Na Awurade yɛn Nyankopɔn hyɛɛ yɛn sɛ yenni mmara no nyinaa so na yɛmfa obu ne nidi mma no sɛnea ɛbɛma asi yɛn yiye daakye sɛnea ɛte nnɛ yi.
25 If we keep all these commands before Yahweh our God, as he has commanded us, this will be our righteousness.'
Efisɛ sɛ yedi mmara no nyinaa a Awurade, yɛn Nyankopɔn, de ama yɛn no so a, ɛbɛyɛ yɛn trenee.”
