Leviticus 26

1 “You must make no idols, and you must not lift up a carved figure or a sacred stone pillar, and you must not place any carved stone image in your land to which you bow down, for I am Yahweh your God.

“‘Monnyɛ abosom. Munnsisi ahoni anaa abo mma mo ho. Mommfa abo a wɔatwa nsisi mo asase so sɛ morebɛkotow wɔn. Mene Awurade mo Nyankopɔn no.

2 You must keep my Sabbaths and honor my sanctuary. I am Yahweh.

“‘Ɛsɛ sɛ mudi me Homeda, na mode nidi ma me kronkronbea. Mene Awurade.

3 If you walk in my laws and keep my commandments and obey them,

“‘Sɛ mudi me mmara no nyinaa so a,

4 then I will give you rain in its season; the land will yield its produce, and the trees of the field will yield their fruit.

daa mɛtɔ osu ama mo ama mo nnɔbae ayɛ yiye abu so, na mo nnua nso bɛsow aba a ɛbɛkyɛ wɔ nnua no so.

5 Your threshing will continue to the time of the grape harvest, and the grape harvest will extend to the planting season. You will eat your bread to the full and live safely where you make your home in the land.

Na sɛ edu odua bere so bio koraa a, mo borɔdɔma bɛkɔ so abere. Mubedidi amee na moatena asase no so asomdwoe mu.

6 I will give peace in the land; you will lie down with nothing to make you afraid. I will take the dangerous animals away from the land, and the sword will not pass through your land.

“‘Mɛma mo asomdwoe, na mɛma mo ada a munnsuro hwee. Mɛpam mmoa bɔne afi mo ho.

7 You will chase your enemies, and they will fall before you by the sword.

Mobɛtaa mo atamfo; na wobewuwu wɔ mo afoa ano.

8 Five of you will chase away a hundred, and a hundred of you will chase ten thousand; your enemies will fall before you by the sword.

Mo mu baanum bɛka ɔha agu, na mo mu ɔha aka mpem du agu! Mo atamfo bɛtotɔ wɔ afoa ano wɔ mo anim.

9 I will look at you with favor and make you fruitful and multiply you; I will establish my covenant with you.

“‘Mɛhwɛ mo so na mama mo adɔ, na madi apam a me ne mo pamee no so.

10 You will eat food stored a long time. You will have to bring out the stored food because you will need the room for the new harvest.

Mo nnɔbae bebu so a sɛ otwabere foforo du so a, morenhu nea mode bɛyɛ.

11 I will place my tabernacle among you, and I will not detest you.

Na mɛtena mo mu, na merenkyi mo.

12 I will walk among you and be your God, and you will be my people.

Me ne mo bɛnantew, na mayɛ mo Nyankopɔn, na moayɛ me nkurɔfo.

13 I am Yahweh your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, so that you would not be their slaves. I have broken the bars of your yoke and made you to walk standing up straight.

Mene Awurade mo Nyankopɔn a ɔde mo fi Misraim asase so bae sɛnea morenyɛ Misraimfo nkoa bio no. Mibubuu mo konnua nkɔnsɔnkɔnsɔn, na ɛma mo anantew anuonyam so.

14 But if you will not listen to me, and will not obey all these commandments,

“‘Na sɛ moantie me, anni mʼasɛm so,

15 and if you reject my decrees and detest my laws, so that you will not obey all my commandments, but break my covenant—

na mopo mʼahyɛde ne me mmara na moanni so, bu mʼapam so a,

16 —if you do these things, then I will do this to you: I will inflict terror on you, diseases and fever that will destroy the eyes and will drain away your life. You will plant your seeds for nothing, because your enemies will eat their produce.

nea mɛyɛ mo ni: Mɛma mo koma atutu na mama nsamanwaw ayɛ mo, na atiridiinini abɔ mo. Mo ani betutu, na mo nkwa so ahuan. Mubedua nnɔbae agu kwa, efisɛ mo atamfo na wobedi.

17 I will set my face against you, and you will be overpowered by your enemies. Men who hate you will rule over you, and you will run away, even when no one is chasing you.

Meyi mʼani afi mo so, na moaguan afi mo atamfo anim. Wɔn a wɔtan mo no bedi mo so. Mubeguan bere a obiara ntaa mo mpo.

18 If after all this you do not listen to me, then I will punish you seven times as severely for your sins.

“‘Na sɛ mokɔ so yɛ asoɔden a, mɛtwe mo bɔne no so aso mmɔho ason.

19 I will break your pride in your power. I will make the sky over you like iron and your land like bronze.

Mɛsɛe mo ahantan tumi no na mayɛ mo soro sɛ dade ne mo fam sɛ kɔbere.

20 Your strength will be used up for nothing, because your land will not produce its harvest, and your trees in the land will not produce their fruit.

Mobɛsɛe mo ahoɔden kwa, na mo asase rennya nnɔbae biara, na ɛso nnua nso rensow aba.

21 If you walk against me and will not listen to me, I will bring seven times more blows on you, in proportion to your sins.

“‘Na sɛ tie ara na morentie me a, mo bɔne nti, mede ɔyaredɔm mmɔho ason a ɛfata mo bɔne no begu mo so.

22 I will send dangerous animals against you, which will steal your children, destroy your cattle, and make you few in number. So your roads will become deserted.

Mɛma nkekaboa abekunkum mo mma na wɔakunkum mo anantwi, na matew mo dodow so, na mo akwan bɛda mpan a obi mfa so bio.

23 If in spite of these things you still do not accept my correction and you continue to walk in opposition to me,

“‘Na sɛ eyi antumi ansakra mo, na mokɔ so tia mʼapɛde a,

24 then I will also walk in opposition to you, and I myself will punish you seven times because of your sins.

me nso, metia mo apɛde, na me ara mʼankasa mɛtwe mo aso mpɛn ason wɔ mo bɔne ho.

25 I will bring a sword on you that will execute vengeance for breaking the covenant. You will be gathered together inside your cities, and I will send a disease among you there, and then you will be delivered into the hand of your enemy.

Menam ɔko so bebu mʼapam so ako atia mo de atua mo so ka. Mubeguan akɔ mo nkurow mu, na mede nyarewa bɛtoa mo wɔ hɔ. Na mo atamfo bedi mo so.

26 When I cut off your food supply, ten women will be able to bake your bread in one oven, and they will distribute your bread by weight. You will eat but not be satisfied.

Mɛsɛe mo nnuan a mubenya nyinaa akosi sɛ mpo, fononoo baako brodo a ɛbɛto no na mmusuakuw du bedi. Aduan kakra a mubedi no akyi, ɔkɔm bɛde mo.

27 If you do not listen to me despite these things, but continue to walk against me,

“‘Na sɛ mokɔ so yɛ asoɔden a,

28 then I will walk against you in anger, and I will punish you even seven more times as much for your sins.

mo bɔne nti, me bo befuw mo na matwe mo aso a emu yɛ den mmɔho ason.

29 You will eat the flesh of your sons; you will eat the flesh of your daughters.

Mobɛwe mo mmabarima ne mo mmabea nam.

30 I will destroy your high places, cut down your incense altars, and throw your corpses on the corpses of your idols, and I myself will abhor you.

Mɛsɛe mo sorɔnsorɔmmea. Metwitwa mo aduhuam afɔremuka agu, na mahyehyɛ mo afunu wɔ mo ahoni a enni nkwa no so; na mɛpo mo.

31 I will turn your cities into ruins and destroy your sanctuaries. I will not be pleased with the aroma of your offerings.

Mɛma mo nkurow ayɛ amamfo na masɛe baabi a mosom nyinaa, na mapo mo ohuam afɔrebɔ no.

32 I will devastate the land. Your enemies who will live there will be shocked at the devastation.

Ampa ara, mɛma mo asase so ada mpan na mo atamfo atena so, na nea mɛyɛ mo no ayɛ mo nwonwa.

33 I will scatter you among the nations, and I will draw out my sword and follow you. Your land will be abandoned, and your cities will be ruined.

Mɛbɔ mo apete aman no a morekɔ so nyinaa so, na mede ɔko asɛe mo. Mo asase bɛda mpan na wɔasɛe mo nkurow.

34 Then the land will enjoy its Sabbaths for as long as it lies abandoned and you are in your enemies' lands. During that time, the land will rest and enjoy its Sabbaths.

Akyiri no, asase no bɛda hɔ ahome de asi mfe dodow a moamma anhome no anan; ɛbɛda hɔ wɔ mmere a mowɔ atamfo nsam wɔ wɔn nsase so no nyinaa. Na asase no ahome, na anya ne home nna nso.

35 As long as it lies abandoned, it will have rest, which will be the rest that it did not have with your Sabbaths, when you lived in it.

Bere a asase no da mpan nyinaa, ebenya home a moamma annya wɔ Homeda dodow a motenaa so no.

36 As for those of you who are left in your enemies' lands, I will send fear into your hearts so that even the sound of a leaf blowing in the wind will startle you, and you will flee as though you were fleeing from the sword. You will fall, even when no one is chasing you.

“‘Wɔn a wogyaw wɔn hɔ a wonwui no nso, mɛma wɔatwe wɔn akɔ akyirikyiri nsase so sɛ ɔko mu nneduafo ne nkoa. Ɛhɔ na wɔbɛtena daa wɔ ehu mu. Wɔte sɛ mframa rebɔ ahaban koraa a, wobeguan te sɛ nea obi a okura afoa repam wɔn; wɔbɛhwehwe ase wɔ bere a obi ntaa wɔn.

37 You will stumble over each other as though you were running from the sword, even though no one is chasing you. You will have no power to stand before your enemies.

Obiara rentaa wɔn nanso ehu nti, wobehintihintiw wɔn ho wɔn ho te sɛnea wɔreguan afi akono a wonni tumi biara a wɔde begyina wɔn atamfo anim no.

38 You will perish among the nations, and your enemies' land will itself devour you.

Mobɛyera wɔ aman mu, na mo atamfo asɛe mo.

39 Those who are left among you will waste away in their sins, there in your enemies' lands, and because of their fathers' sins they will waste away as well.

Wɔn a wɔbɛka no, wɔn bɔne nti, wɔn ho bɛyeraw wɔn wɔ atamfo nsase so, bɔne a wɔn agyanom yɛe no nti.

40 Yet if they confess their sins and their fathers' sin, and their treason by which they were unfaithful to me, and also their walking against me—

“‘Nanso akyiri no, me nkurɔfo bɛka wɔn bɔne ne wɔn agyanom bɔne. Wɔbɛka sɛnea wodii me huammɔ na wotiaa me no.

41 which caused me to turn against them and I brought them into the land of their enemies—if their uncircumcised hearts become humbled, and if they accept the punishment for their sins,

Sɛ me nso mitia wɔn sɛ nea ɛsɛ na mede wɔn kɔ wɔn atamfo asase so a, afei, wɔn komaden no ano bɛbrɛ ase, na wobetua wɔn bɔne so ka.

42 then will I call to mind my covenant with Jacob, my covenant with Isaac, and my covenant with Abraham; also, I will call the land to mind.

Afei, mɛkae apam a mene Yakob, Isak ne Abraham ayɛ, na mɛkae asase no.

43 The land will be abandoned by them, so it will be pleased with its Sabbaths while it lies abandoned without them. They will have to pay the penalty for their sins because they themselves rejected my decrees and detested my laws.

Asase no da hɔ dinn no, ebedi ne homeda. Nanso akyiri no, wobenya wɔn asotwe sɛ wɔanni me nhyehyɛe so na wɔpoo mʼahyɛde.

44 Yet despite all this, when they are in their enemies' land, I will not reject them, neither will I detest them so as to completely destroy them and do away with my covenant with them, for I am Yahweh their God.

Na nea wɔyɛɛ no nyinaa akyi no, merensɛe wɔn ne mʼapam no korakora, efisɛ mene Awurade wɔn Nyankopɔn.

45 But for their sakes I will call to mind the covenant with their ancestors, whom I brought out of the land of Egypt in the sight of the nations, so that I might be their God. I am Yahweh.”

Mɛkae tete apam a me ne wɔn agyanom a miyii wɔn fii Misraim, bere a amanaman nyinaa rehwɛ no yɛe no. Me Awurade ne wɔn Nyankopɔn.’”

46 These are the commandments, decrees, and laws that Yahweh made between himself and the people of Israel at Mount Sinai through Moses.

Eyinom ne mmara ne ahyɛde a Awurade nam Mose so de maa Israelfo no wɔ Sinai Bepɔw so no.
