Deuteronomy 6
1 'And this [is] the command, the statutes and the judgments which Jehovah your God hath commanded to teach you, to do in the land which ye are passing over thither to possess it,
Eyinom ne ahyɛde, mmara ne nhyehyɛe a Awurade mo Nyankopɔn ka kyerɛɛ me se menkyerɛkyerɛ mo na munni so wɔ asase a moretwa Yordan akɔfa no so,
2 so that thou dost fear Jehovah thy God, to keep all His statutes and His commands, which I am commanding thee, thou, and thy son, and thy son's son, all days of thy life, and so that thy days are prolonged.
sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a mo mma ne wɔn mma besuro Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn, mmere dodow a mote ase no, na moadi ne mmara ne nʼahyɛde a mede ma mo no nyinaa so nyinaa so a mo nkwanna aware.
3 'And thou hast heard, O Israel, and observed to do, that it may be well with thee, and that thou mayest multiply exceedingly, as Jehovah, God of thy fathers, hath spoken to thee, [in] the land flowing with milk and honey.
Muntie, Ao Israel, na monhwɛ yiye nni so sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a ebesi mo yiye na mo ase atrɛw yiye wɔ asase a nufusu ne ɛwo resen wɔ so no so sɛnea Awurade, mo agyanom Nyankopɔn, hyɛɛ mo ho bɔ no.
4 'Hear, O Israel, Jehovah our God [is] one Jehovah;
Tie, Ao Israel, Awurade yɛn Nyankopɔn yɛ Awurade koro.
5 and thou hast loved Jehovah thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might,
Dɔ Awurade wo Nyankopɔn fi wo koma nyinaa mu ne wo kra nyinaa mu ne wʼahoɔden nyinaa mu.
6 and these words which I am commanding thee to-day have been on thine heart,
Momma saa mmaransɛm a mede rema wo nnɛ yi ntena mo koma mu.
7 and thou hast repeated them to thy sons, and spoken of them in thy sitting in thine house, and in thy walking in the way, and in thy lying down, and in thy rising up,
Momfa nhyɛ mo mma mu. Sɛ mote fie anaa monam ɔkwan so, sɛ moda hɔ anaa mosɔre a, monka ho asɛm.
8 and hast bound them for a sign upon thy hand, and they have been for frontlets between thine eyes,
Monkyekye no sɛ agyiraehyɛde mmɔ mo nsa na momfa bi mmɔ abotiri.
9 and thou hast written them on door-posts of thy house, and on thy gates.
Monkyerɛw ngu mo afi apongua ne mo abobow ano apon so.
10 'And it hath been, when Jehovah thy God doth bring thee in unto the land which He hath sworn to thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give to thee — cities great and good, which thou hast not built,
Awurade mo Nyankopɔn de mo ba asase a ɔkaa ntam sɛ ɔde bɛma mo agyanom Abraham, Isak ne Yakob no, asase a nkuropɔn a ɛnyɛ mo na mokyekyeree ahyɛ so ma no so,
11 and houses full of all good things which thou hast not filled, and wells digged which thou hast not digged, vineyards and olive-yards which thou hast not planted, and thou hast eaten, and been satisfied;
afi a nneɛma pa ahorow a ɛnyɛ mo na moyɛe ahyɛ no ma, mmura a ɛnyɛ mo na mututui, bobeturo a ɛnyɛ mo na moyɛe ne ngonnua a ɛnyɛ mo na muduae no so. Sɛ mudidi mee wɔ saa asase yi so a,
12 'Take heed to thyself lest thou forget Jehovah who hath brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of a house of servants;
monhwɛ yiye na mo werɛ amfi Awurade a ogyee mo fii nkoasom mu wɔ Misraim asase so no.
13 Jehovah thy God thou dost fear, and Him thou dost serve, and by His name thou dost swear;
Ɛsɛ sɛ musuro Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn, na mosom ɔno nko ara. Ne din nko ara na momfa nka ntam.
14 ye do not go after other gods, of the gods of the peoples who [are] round about you;
Munnni anyame foforo akyi; anyame a wɔyɛ nnipa a wɔatwa mo ho ahyia no anyame no;
15 for a zealous God [is] Jehovah thy God in thy midst — lest the anger of Jehovah thy God burn against thee, and He hath destroyed thee from off the face of the ground.
na Awurade mo Nyankopɔn a ɔwɔ mo ntam no yɛ Onyankopɔn ninkufo a nʼabufuw no bɛhyew mo, na ɔbɛsɛe mo afi asase no so.
16 'Ye do not try Jehovah your God as ye tried in Massah;
Monnsɔ Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn, nhwɛ sɛnea moyɛe bere a na mowɔ Masa no.
17 ye do diligently keep the commands of Jehovah your God, and His testimonies, and His statutes which He hath commanded thee,
Ɛsɛ sɛ mudi Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn, ahyɛde ne nea ɛwɔ mmara a ɔde ama mo no mu no so pɛpɛɛpɛ.
18 and thou hast done that which is right and good in the eyes of Jehovah, so that it is well with thee, and thou hast gone in and possessed the good land which Jehovah hath sworn to thy fathers,
Monyɛ de ɛteɛ na eye wɔ Awurade ani so na biribiara awie mo yiye. Na moakɔ akɔfa asase pa a Awurade hyɛɛ ho bɔ kyerɛɛ mo agyanom no,
19 to drive away all thine enemies from thy presence, as Jehovah hath spoken.
na moapam atamfo a wɔwɔ mo anim no nyinaa sɛnea Awurade kae no.
20 'When thy son asketh thee hereafter, saying, What [are] the testimonies, and the statutes, and the judgments, which Jehovah our God hath commanded you?
Daakye bi, sɛ mo mma bisa mo se, “Saa mmara ne nʼahyɛde a Awurade, yɛn Nyankopɔn, de ama mo yi ase ne dɛn?”
21 then thou hast said to thy son, Servants we have been to Pharaoh in Egypt, and Jehovah bringeth us out of Egypt by a high hand;
a monka nkyerɛ wɔn se, “Na yɛyɛ Farao nkoa wɔ Misraim nanso Awurade nam anwonwatumi so yii yɛn fii Misraim.
22 and Jehovah giveth signs and wonders, great and sad, on Egypt, on Pharaoh, and on all his house, before our eyes;
Yɛn ani tua Awurade nsɛnkyerɛnne ne anwonwade akɛse na ɛyɛ hu a ɔyɛ tiaa Misraim, Farao ne ne nkurɔfo nyinaa.
23 and us He hath brought out thence, in order to bring us in, to give to us the land which He had sworn to our fathers.
Oyii yɛn fii Misraim sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a, obetumi de asase a wahyɛ yɛn agyanom ho bɔ no ama yɛn.
24 And Jehovah commandeth us to do all these statutes, to fear Jehovah our God, for good to ourselves all the days, to keep us alive, as [at] this day;
Na Awurade yɛn Nyankopɔn hyɛɛ yɛn sɛ yenni mmara no nyinaa so na yɛmfa obu ne nidi mma no sɛnea ɛbɛma asi yɛn yiye daakye sɛnea ɛte nnɛ yi.
25 and righteousness it is for us, when we observe to do all this command before Jehovah our God, as He hath commanded us.
Efisɛ sɛ yedi mmara no nyinaa a Awurade, yɛn Nyankopɔn, de ama yɛn no so a, ɛbɛyɛ yɛn trenee.”
