Deuteronomy 18
1 'There is not to the priests the Levites — all the tribe of Levi — a portion and inheritance with Israel; fire-offerings of Jehovah, even His inheritance, they eat,
Lewifo Asɔfo no, nokware Lewi abusuakuw nyinaa no, nni kyɛfa ne agyapade biara wɔ Israelman mu te sɛ mmusuakuw a wɔaka no. Wobedi aduan afɔre a wɔbɔ ma Awurade no bi, efisɛ wonni agyapade.
2 and he hath no inheritance in the midst of his brethren; Jehovah Himself [is] his inheritance, as He hath spoken to him.
Israelfo mu de, wɔrennya agyapade biara sɛ wɔn ankasa kyɛfa. Awurade ankasa bɛyɛ wɔn kyɛfa sɛnea ɔhyɛɛ wɔn bɔ no.
3 'And this is the priest's right from the people, from those sacrificing a sacrifice, whether ox or sheep, he hath even given to the priest the leg, and the two cheeks, and the stomach;
Eyi ne kyɛfa a asɔfo no benya afi nantwi ne oguan a nnipa no de bɛbɔ afɔre no mu: ne mmati, nʼabogye ne nʼayamde.
4 the first of thy corn, of thy new wine, and of thine oil, and the first of the fleece of thy flock, thou dost give to him;
Afei, momma wɔn mo atokokan mu ade, nsa foforo ne ngo ne nwi a edi kan a wotwitwa fi mo nguan ho no.
5 for on him hath Jehovah thy God fixed, out of all thy tribes, to stand to serve in the name of Jehovah, He and his sons continually.
Efisɛ Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn no, apaw Lewifo ne wɔn asefo afi mo mmusuakuw nyinaa mu sɛ wonnyina, nsom daa wɔ Awurade din mu.
6 'And when the Levite cometh from one of thy cities out of all Israel, where he hath sojourned, and hath come with all the desire of his soul unto the place which Jehovah doth choose,
Sɛ Lewini bi pɛ na ofi mo nkurow no mu biara a ɔte so wɔ Israel kɔ baabi a Awurade ayi a,
7 then he hath ministered in the name of Jehovah his God, like all his brethren, the Levites, who are standing there before Jehovah,
otumi som wɔ Awurade, ne Nyankopɔn, din mu te sɛnea ne nkurɔfo Lewifo a wɔsom wɔ hɔ wɔ Awurade anim no yɛ no ara.
8 portion as portion they do eat, apart from his sold things, with the fathers.
Sɛ mpo wanya sika bi afi abusua agyapade bi tɔn mu a, wɔde ne kyɛfa a ɛwɔ afɔrebɔde no mu sɛ Lewini no bɛma no sɛ asɛde.
9 'When thou art coming in unto the land which Jehovah thy God is giving to thee, thou dost not learn to do according to the abominations of those nations:
Sɛ munya du asase a Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn no, de rema mo no so a, monhwɛ yiye na moansua amanaman a ɛwɔ hɔ no amanne a ɛyɛ akyiwade no.
10 there is not found in thee one causing his son and his daughter to pass over into fire, a user of divinations, an observer of clouds, and an enchanter, and a sorcerer,
Mommma wonhu sɛ mo mu bi de ne babarima anaa ne babea abɔ ɔhyew afɔre. Na mommma mo nnipa no nyɛ akɔmfo a wɔhyɛ abosom nkɔm, abayifo ne abisakɔfo, ne ntafowayifo
11 and a charmer, and one asking at a familiar spirit, and a wizard, and one seeking unto the dead.
ne nkaberekyerefo ne samanfrɛfo, osumanni a ɔfrɛ ɔsaman.
12 'For the abomination of Jehovah [is] every one doing these, and because of these abominations is Jehovah thy God dispossessing them from thy presence.
Obiara a ɔyɛ saa ade yi bi no yɛ Awurade akyiwade na saa akyiwade yi nti na Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn no, bɛpam saa aman no afi mo anim.
13 Perfect thou art with Jehovah thy God,
Monyɛ pɛ wɔ Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn no, anim.
14 for these nations whom thou art possessing, unto observers of clouds, and unto diviners, do hearken; and thou — not so hath Jehovah thy God suffered thee.
Aman a morekotu wɔn yi tie wɔn a wɔpɛ abayisɛm ne nkɔmhyɛnsɛm. Nanso mo de, Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn no, mmaa mo kwan sɛ monyɛ saa ɛ.
15 'A prophet out of thy midst, out of thy brethren, like to me, doth Jehovah thy God raise up to thee — unto him ye hearken;
Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn no, beyi odiyifo a ɔte sɛ me afi mo Israelfo yi ara mu. Ɛsɛ sɛ moyɛ osetie ma no.
16 according to all that thou didst ask from Jehovah thy God, in Horeb, in the day of the assembly, saying, Let me not add to hear the voice of Jehovah my God, and this great fire let me not see any more, and I die not;
Eyi ne nea mo ankasa mobisaa Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn no, bere a muhyiaa wɔ Horeb no. Mosrɛɛ sɛ mompɛ sɛ mote Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn no, nne anaa muhu ogyaframa bio, efisɛ musuro sɛ anhwɛ a, mubewuwu.
17 and Jehovah saith unto me, They have done well that they have spoken;
Na Awurade buae se, “Mɛyɛ wɔn abisade ama wɔn.
18 a prophet I raise up to them, out of the midst of their brethren, like to thee; and I have given my words in his mouth, and he hath spoken unto them all that which I command him;
Mɛda odiyifo te sɛ wo adi afi wɔn nkurɔfo Israelfo mu. Mede me nsɛm bɛhyɛ nʼanom, na ɔbɛka biribiara a mɛhyɛ wɔn no akyerɛ wɔn.
19 and it hath been — the man who doth not hearken unto My words which he doth speak in My name, I require [it] of him.
Mʼankasa me ne obiara a wantie asɛm a odiyifo no bɛka wɔ me din mu no bedi.
20 'Only, the prophet who presumeth to speak a word in My name — that which I have not commanded him to speak — and who speaketh in the name of other gods — even that prophet hath died.
Na odiyifo biara bɛpatuw aka nea menhyɛe, anaa ɔnam onyame foforo bi din so ka asɛm no, ɛsɛ sɛ wokum no.”
21 'And when thou sayest in thy heart, How do we know the word which Jehovah hath not spoken? —
Mubebisa mo ho se, “Ɛbɛyɛ dɛn na yɛahu sɛ adiyisɛm no fi Awurade anaasɛ emfi no?”
22 that which the prophet speaketh in the name of Jehovah, and the thing is not, and cometh not — it [is] the word which Jehovah hath not spoken; in presumption hath the prophet spoken it; — thou art not afraid of him.
Sɛ odiyifo no hyɛ nkɔm wɔ Awurade din mu na amma mu a, na ɛnyɛ Awurade na ɔde asɛm no mae. Na ɛkyerɛ sɛ, saa odiyifo no ara kaa ɔno ankasa nʼasɛm bi kwa enti ɛnsɛ sɛ musuro.
