Deuteronomy 23
1 'One wounded, bruised, or cut in the member doth not enter into the assembly of Jehovah;
Ɔbarima a wɔasa no anaa wɔatwa ne barima atwene no mmma Awurade badwa ase.
2 a bastard doth not enter into the assembly of Jehovah; even a tenth generation of him doth not enter into the assembly of Jehovah.
Wɔn a wɔyɛ mpena mma ne wɔn asefoɔ kɔsi awoɔ ntoatoasoɔ a ɛtɔ so edu no mmma Awurade badwa ase.
3 'An Ammonite and a Moabite doth not enter into the assembly of Jehovah; even a tenth generation of them doth not enter into the assembly of Jehovah — to the age;
Amonfoɔ anaa Moabfoɔ anaa sɛ wɔn asefoɔ kɔsi awoɔ ntoatoasoɔ edu no mu biara mmma Awurade badwa ase.
4 because that they have not come before you with bread and with water in the way, in your coming out from Egypt, and because he hath hired against thee Balaam son of Beor, of Pethor of Aram-Naharaim, to revile thee;
Saa aman yi annye mo, amma mo aduane anaa sɛ nsuo ɛberɛ a mofiri Misraim reba no. Mmom, wɔkɔbɔɔ Beor babarima Balaam a ɔfiri Petor a ɛwɔ Mesopotamia paa sɛ ɔmmɛdome mo.
5 and Jehovah thy God hath not been willing to hearken unto Balaam, and Jehovah thy God doth turn for thee the reviling to a blessing, because Jehovah thy God hath loved thee;
Nanso Awurade, mo Onyankopɔn, antie Balaam. Ɔdanee nnome no ma ɛyɛɛ nhyira maa mo, ɛfiri sɛ, Awurade mo Onyankopɔn dɔ mo.
6 thou dost not seek their peace and their good all thy days — to the age.
Na sɛ mote ase yi, mommmoa Amonfoɔ ne Moabfoɔ ɛkwan biara so da biara da.
7 'Thou dost not abominate an Edomite, for thy brother he [is]; thou dost not abominate an Egyptian, for a sojourner thou hast been in his land;
Monnkyiri Edomfoɔ anaa Misraimfoɔ, ɛfiri sɛ, Edomfoɔ yɛ mo nuanom na motenaa Misraimfoɔ nso mu sɛ ahɔhoɔ.
8 sons who are begotten of them, a third generation of them, doth enter into the assembly of Jehovah.
Misraimfoɔ awoɔ ntoatoasoɔ mmiɛnsa a wɔne mo firii Misraim no bɛkɔ Awurade badwa ase.
9 'When a camp goeth out against thine enemies, then thou hast kept from every evil thing.
Sɛ mokɔ ɔko de tia mo atamfoɔ a, montwe mo ho mfiri deɛ ɛho nte biara ho.
10 'When there is in thee a man who is not clean, from an accident at night — then he hath gone out unto the outside of the camp — he doth not come in unto the midst of the camp —
Sɛ ɔbarima bi ho gu fi ɛsiane anadwo mu ahobaa a, ɛsɛ sɛ ɔfiri atenaeɛ hɔ kɔtena baabi ɛda mu no nyinaa.
11 and it hath been, at the turning of the evening, he doth bathe with water, and at the going in of the sun he doth come in unto the midst of the camp.
Ɛduru anwummerɛ a, ɛsɛ sɛ ɔdware na owia kɔtɔ a, ɔnsane mmra atenaeɛ hɔ.
12 'And a station thou hast at the outside of the camp, and thou hast gone out thither without,
Montwa baabi a mobɛgya mo anan wɔ asraafoɔ atenaeɛ hɔ.
13 and a nail thou hast on thy staff, and it hath been, in thy sitting without, that thou hast digged with it, and turned back, and covered thy filth;
Mo mu biara mfa sofi nka ne nneɛma ho. Ɛberɛ biara a mobɛgya mo anan no, momfa sofi no ntu amena na monkata agyanan no so.
14 for Jehovah thy God is walking up and down in the midst of thy camp, to deliver thee, and to give thine enemies before thee, and thy camp hath been holy, and He doth not see in thee the nakedness of anything, and hath turned back from after thee.
Ɛsɛ sɛ asraafoɔ atenaeɛ hɔ yɛ kronkron, ɛfiri sɛ, Awurade, mo Onyankopɔn, nam mo atenaeɛ no so bɔ mo ho ban, na moadi mo atamfoɔ so nkonim. Ɛnsɛ sɛ ɔhunu animguasedeɛ biara wɔ mo mu; sɛ ɛba saa a, ɔbɛdane nʼakyi akyerɛ mo.
15 'Thou dost not shut up a servant unto his lord, who is delivered unto thee from his lord;
Sɛ ɛba sɛ nkoa dwane firi wɔn wuranom nkyɛn na wɔba mo nkyɛn bɛgye wɔn ho dwanekɔbea a, mommpam wɔn mma wɔnnsane wɔn akyi.
16 with thee he doth dwell, in thy midst, in the place which he chooseth within one of thy gates, where it is pleasing to him; thou dost not oppress him.
Momma wɔntena mo mu wɔ kuro biara a wɔpɛ so a monnnyɛ wɔn aniɛyaadeɛ.
17 'There is not a whore among the daughters of Israel, nor is there a whoremonger among the sons of Israel;
Ɛnsɛ sɛ Israelni barima anaa ɔbaa yɛ no ho hyiadan mu odwamanfoɔ.
18 thou dost not bring a gift of a whore, or a price of a dog, into the house of Jehovah thy God, for any vow; for the abomination of Jehovah thy God [are] even both of them.
Mommfa afɔrebɔdeɛ anaa adenya bi a ɛfiri odwamanfoɔ nkyɛn, sɛ ɔyɛ ɔbarima anaa ɔbaa, mma Awurade mo Onyankopɔn fie, ɛfiri sɛ, ɛyɛ Awurade mo Onyankopɔn akyiwadeɛ.
19 'Thou dost not lend in usury to thy brother; usury of money, usury of food, usury of anything which is lent on usury.
Bosea a mobɔ mo yɔnko Israelni no, sɛ ɛyɛ sika, aduane anaa biribi foforɔ no, monnnye ho mfɛntom.
20 To a stranger thou mayest lend in usury, and to thy brother thou dost not lend in usury, so that Jehovah thy God doth bless thee in every putting forth of thy hand on the land whither thou goest in to possess it.
Motumi gye bosea ho mfɛntom firi ahɔhoɔ nkyɛn, na ɛnyɛ Israelfoɔ nkyɛn, sɛdeɛ Awurade, mo Onyankopɔn, bɛhyira mo wɔ biribiara a moyɛ mu wɔ asase a morekɔ so akɔfa no.
21 'When thou vowest a vow to Jehovah thy God, thou dost not delay to complete it; for Jehovah thy God doth certainly require it from thee, and it hath been in thee — sin.
Sɛ mohyɛ Awurade mo Onyankopɔn bɔ a, biribiara a mohyɛɛ no ho bɔ no, monyɛ no ntɛm so. Ɛfiri sɛ, Awurade, mo Onyankopɔn hwehwɛ sɛ, ɛbɔ a moahyɛ no no, mobɛdi so ntɛm so. Sɛ moanyɛ a, mobɛdi ho fɔ.
22 'And when thou forbearest to vow, it is not in thee a sin.
Nanso, sɛ moanhyɛ biribiara ho bɔ a, monyɛɛ bɔne biara.
23 The produce of thy lips thou dost keep, and hast done [it], as thou hast vowed to Jehovah thy God; a free-will-offering, which thou hast spoken with thy mouth.
Na sɛ wo ara wofiri wo pɛ mu hyɛ bɔ a, hwɛ yie na di asɛm a woaka no so, ɛfiri sɛ, Awurade, mo Onyankopɔn na woahyɛ no bɔ no.
24 'When thou comest in unto the vineyard of thy neighbour, then thou hast eaten grapes, according to thy desire, thy sufficiency; but into thy vessel thou dost not put [any].
Wotumi di bobe aba dodoɔ biara wɔ wo yɔnko bobe turom nanso, mfa bi ngu kɛntɛn mu nkɔ.
25 When thou comest in among the standing-corn of thy neighbour, then thou hast plucked the ears with thy hand, but a sickle thou dost not wave over the standing-corn of thy neighbour.
Saa ara na mobɛtumi de mo nsa apempan aburoo mmɛtem kakra wɔ mo yɔnko afuom, nanso ɛnsɛ sɛ mode sekan twa.
