Deuteronomy 16

1 Observe the month Abib, and keep the passover to the LORD thy God: for in the month of Abib the LORD thy God brought thee forth from Egypt by night.

Daa munni Twam Afahyɛ no wɔ ɔsram Abib no mu mma Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn, efisɛ ɔsram Abib mu da bi anadwo na Onyankopɔn yii mo fii Misraim.

2 Thou shalt therefore sacrifice the passover to the LORD thy God, of the flock and the herd, in the place which the LORD shall choose to place his name there.

Munkum anantwi anaa nguan sɛ Twam afɔrebɔde mma Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn no, wɔ faako a Awurade beyi sɛ atenae wɔ ne din mu no.

3 Thou shalt eat no leavened bread with it; seven days shalt thou eat unleavened bread with it, [even] the bread of affliction; for thou camest forth from the land of Egypt in haste: that thou mayest remember the day when thou camest forth from the land of Egypt, all the days of thy life.

Munnni mmɔkaw brodo nka ho; na mmom, nnanson so na munni apiti amanehunu brodo, efisɛ mufii Misraim ɔhare so, sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a mo nkwanna nyinaa mu no mobɛkae bere a mutu fii Misraim no.

4 And there shall be no leavened bread seen with thee in all thy borders seven days; neither shall there [any thing] of the flesh, which thou didst sacrifice the first day at evening, remain all night until the morning.

Mommma wonhu sɛ mowɔ mmɔkaw wɔ mo nkyɛn wɔ mo nsase nyinaa so nnanson. Mommma nam a mode bɔɔ afɔre da a edi kan no anwummere no nka gya so nkosi anɔpa.

5 Thou mayest not sacrifice the passover within any of thy gates, which the LORD thy God giveth thee.

Mommɔ Twam Afahyɛ afɔre no wɔ nkurow a Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn no, de rema mo no mu biara so,

6 But at the place which the LORD thy God shall choose to place his name in, there thou shalt sacrifice the passover at evening, at the setting of the sun, at the time of thy departure from Egypt.

gye faako a Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn no, beyi sɛ wɔnkamfo ne din wɔ hɔ no. Ɛhɔ na mommɔ Twam afɔre no anwummere mfa nni mo Misraimfi bere no afahyɛ.

7 And thou shalt roast and eat [it] in the place which the LORD thy God shall choose: and thou shalt turn in the morning, and go to thy tents.

Montoto na monwe no wɔ faako a Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn no, bɛpaw ama mo no. Na ade kye a, monsan nkɔ mo ntamadan mu.

8 Six days thou shalt eat unleavened bread: and on the seventh day [shall be] a solemn assembly to the LORD thy God: [in it] thou shalt do no work.

Nnansia na momfa nni apiti, na ne nnanson so no, nnipa no nyinaa nhyia wɔ Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn no, anim. Na saa da no, obiara nyɛ adwuma.

9 Seven weeks shalt thou number to thee: begin to number the seven weeks from [the time when] thou beginnest [to put] the sickle to the corn.

Mumfi bere a mubefi ase atwa atoko no nkan nnaawɔtwe ason.

10 And thou shalt keep the feast of weeks to the LORD thy God with a tribute of a free-will-offering of thy hand, which thou shalt give [to the LORD thy God], according as the LORD thy God hath blessed thee:

Na monhwɛ sɛnea Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn no, asi ahyira mo no so mfi mo pɛ mu mmɔ afɔre, nnyina so nni Asese Afahyɛ no mma Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn no.

11 And thou shalt rejoice before the LORD thy God, thou, and thy son, and thy daughter, and thy man-servant, and thy maid-servant, and the Levite that [is] within thy gates, and the stranger, and the fatherless, and the widow, that [are] among you, in the place which the LORD thy God hath chosen to place his name there.

Na munnye mo ani wɔ Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn no, anim wɔ faako a ɔbɛpaw sɛ atenae ma ne din no. Mo ne mo mmabarima ne mo mmabea, mo nkoa ne mo mfenaa, Lewifo a wɔwɔ mo nkurow mu ne ahɔho, nyisaa ne akunafo a wɔne mo te nyinaa.

12 And thou shalt remember that thou wast a bond-man in Egypt: and thou shalt observe and do these statutes.

Monkae sɛ na moyɛ nkoa wɔ Misraim enti monhwɛ yiye na munni saa mmara yi nyinaa so.

13 Thou shalt observe the feast of tabernacles seven days, after that thou hast gathered in thy corn, and thy wine.

Sɛ moboaboa mo awiporowbea ne mo nsakyi amoa mu ade ano wie a, momfa nnanson nni Asese Afahyɛ no.

14 And thou shalt rejoice in thy feast, thou, and thy son, and thy daughter, and thy man-servant, and thy maid-servant, and the Levite, the stranger, and the fatherless, and the widow, that [are] within thy gates:

Munnye mo ani wɔ mo afahyɛ yi se; mo ne mo abusuafo, mo asomfo ne Lewifo, ahɔho, nyisaa ne akunafo a wofi mo nkurow mu.

15 Seven days shalt thou keep a solemn feast to the LORD thy God in the place which the LORD shall choose: because the LORD thy God shall bless thee in all thy increase, and in all the works of thy hands, therefore thou shalt surely rejoice.

Momfa nnanson nni saa afahyɛ yi mfa nhyɛ Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn no, anuonyam wɔ faako a ɔbɛpaw, efisɛ Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn no, na ɔma mo nnɔbae bɔ pii na ohyira mo nnwuma nyinaa so; na mo anigye bewie pɛyɛ.

16 Three times in a year shall all thy males appear before the LORD thy God in the place which he shall choose; in the feast of unleavened bread, and in the feast of weeks, and in the feast of tabernacles: and they shall not appear before the LORD empty:

Afe biara mu no, ɛsɛ sɛ mo mmarima no nyinaa hyia wɔ mo Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn no, anim faako a ɔbɛpaw no mprɛnsa de ama Apiti Afahyɛ, Otwabere Afahyɛ ne Asese Afahyɛ no. Ɛnsɛ sɛ obiara ba Awurade anim nsapan.

17 Every man [shall give] as he is able, according to the blessing of the LORD thy God which he hath given thee.

Ɛsɛ sɛ obiara de akyɛde a ɛne nhyira a Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn no, nhyira no no sɛ ba.

18 Judges and officers shalt thou make thee in all thy gates, which the LORD thy God giveth thee, throughout thy tribes: and they shall judge the people with just judgment.

Munsisi atemmufo ne mpanyimfo mfi mo mmusuakuw biara mu wɔ nkurow a Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn no, de rema mo no mu, na wobebu nnipa no atɛntrenee.

19 Thou shalt not wrest judgment; thou shalt not respect persons, neither take a gift; for a gift doth blind the eyes of the wise, and pervert the words of the righteous.

Mummmu ntɛnkyew anaa monnhwɛ nnipa anim mmu atɛn. Monnnye adanmude, efisɛ adanmude fura onyansafo ani ma ɔdan nea odi bem no asɛm ani.

20 That which is altogether just shalt thou follow, that thou mayest live, and inherit the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.

Mummu atɛntrenee nkutoo, na ama moatumi atena asase a Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn no, de rema mo no so.

21 Thou shalt not plant thee a grove of any trees near to the altar of the LORD thy God, which thou shalt make for thee.

Mummfi afɔremuka a mubesi ama Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn no, akyi nsi abosonnua foforo biara,

22 Neither shalt thou set thee up [any] image; which the LORD thy God hateth.

na munnsi ɔbo kronkron, efisɛ Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn no, kyi eyinom.
