Deuteronomy 27

1 'And Moses — the elders of Israel also — commandeth the people, saying, Keep all the command which I am commanding you to-day;

Mose ne Israel mpanimfoɔ hyɛɛ ɔmanfoɔ no sɛ, “Monni mmara a mede rema mo ɛnnɛ yi nyinaa so.

2 and it hath been, in the day that ye pass over the Jordan unto the land which Jehovah thy God is giving to thee, that thou hast raised up for thee great stones, and plaistered them with plaister,

Sɛ motwa Yordan kɔduru asase a Awurade, mo Onyankopɔn de rema mo no so a, monhyehyɛ aboɔ akɛseɛ na momfa akaadoo nsra ho.

3 and written on them all the words of this law in thy passing over, so that thou goest in unto the land which Jehovah thy God is giving to thee — a land flowing with milk and honey, as Jehovah, God of thy fathers, hath spoken to thee.

Sɛ motwa Yordan kɔ asase a Awurade, mo Onyankopɔn de rema mo no so, asase a ɛwoɔ ne nufosuo resene so no so a, montwerɛ mmara no nyinaa ngu so sɛdeɛ Awurade, mo agyanom Onyankopɔn, hyɛɛ mo bɔ no.

4 'And it hath been, in your passing over the Jordan, ye raise up these stones which I am commanding you to-day, in mount Ebal, and thou hast plaistered them with plaister,

Na sɛ motwa Yordan a, monhyehyɛ aboɔ no wɔ Ebal bepɔ so sɛdeɛ merehyɛ mo ɛnnɛ yi na momfa akaadoo no mfa ho.

5 and built there an altar to Jehovah thy God, an altar of stones, thou dost not wave over them iron.

Monsi afɔrebukyia, aboɔ afɔrebukyia wɔ hɔ mma Awurade, mo Onyankopɔn. Mommfa dadeɛ biribiara nka.

6 Of complete stones thou buildest the altar of Jehovah thy God, and hast caused to ascend on it burnt-offerings to Jehovah thy God,

Momfa aboɔ nkunkuma nsi Awurade, mo Onyankopɔn afɔrebukyia no na mommɔ ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ wɔ so mma Awurade, mo Onyankopɔn.

7 and sacrificed peace-offerings, and eaten there, and rejoiced before Jehovah thy God,

Mommɔ asomdwoeɛ afɔdeɛ nso wɔ so na momfa anigyeɛ nnidi wɔ hɔ wɔ Awurade, mo Onyankopɔn, anim.

8 and written on the stones all the words of this law, well engraved.'

Montwerɛ mmara no mu nhyehyɛeɛ nyinaa pɛpɛɛpɛ ngu aboɔ a wɔde akaadoo aka so no so.”

9 And Moses speaketh — the priests, the Levites, also — unto all Israel, saying, 'Keep silent, and hear, O Israel, this day thou hast become a people to Jehovah thy God;

Afei, Mose ne Lewifoɔ asɔfoɔ kasa kyerɛɛ Israelfoɔ no sɛ, “Ao Israel, monyɛ komm na montie! Ɛnnɛ, moabɛyɛ Awurade, mo Onyankopɔn manfoɔ.

10 and thou hast hearkened to the voice of Jehovah thy God, and done His commands, and His statutes, which I am commanding thee to-day.'

Monyɛ ɔsetie mma Awurade, mo Onyankopɔn, na monni ne mmara ne nʼahyɛdeɛ a mede rema mo ɛnnɛ yi so.”

11 And Moses commandeth the people on that day, saying,

Saa ɛda no ara, Mose hyɛɛ ɔmanfoɔ no sɛ,

12 'These do stand, to bless the people, on mount Gerizzim, in your passing over the Jordan: Simeon, and Levi, and Judah, and Issachar, and Joseph, and Benjamin.

Sɛ motwa Asubɔnten Yordan a, Simeon, Lewi, Yuda, Isakar, Yosef ne Benyamin mmusuakuo na wɔnnyina Gerisim bepɔ so nhyira ɔman no.

13 And these do stand, for the reviling, on mount Ebal: Reuben, Gad, and Asher, and Zebulun, Dan, and Naphtali.

Ruben, Gad, Aser, Sebulon, Dan ne Naftali mmusuakuo nso nnyina Ebal bepɔ so nnome.

14 'And the Levites have answered and said unto every man of Israel — a loud voice:

Na afei, Lewifoɔ nteam ngu nnipa a wɔwɔ Israel nyinaa so sɛ:

15 'Cursed [is] the man who maketh a graven and molten image, the abomination of Jehovah, work of the hands of an artificer, and hath put [it] in a secret place, — and all the people have answered and said, Amen.

“Nnome nka onipa a ɔbɛyɛ ohoni a wɔasene anaa deɛ wɔagu de ahyɛ kɔkoam. Saa ahoni adwumfoɔ nsaano nnwuma yi yɛ Awurade akyiwadeɛ.” Na ɔman no nyinaa bɛgye so sɛ, “Amen!”

16 'Cursed [is] He who is making light of his father and his mother, — and all the people have said, Amen.

25 'Cursed [is] he who is taking a bribe to smite a person, innocent blood, — and all the people have said, Amen.

“Nnome nka obiara a ɔgye apaabɔdeɛ na ɔkum onipa a ɔnyɛɛ bɔne biara.” Na ɔman no nyinaa bɛgye so sɛ, “Amen!”

26 'Cursed [is] he who doth not establish the words of this law, to do them, — and all the people have said, Amen.

“Nnome nka obiara a wanni mmaransɛm yi so na wannye anto mu.” Na ɔman no nyinaa bɛgye so sɛ, “Amen!”
