Deuteronomy 8
1 'All the command which I am commanding thee to-day ye observe to do, so that ye live, and have multiplied, and gone in, and possessed the land which Jehovah hath sworn to your fathers;
Monhwɛ yiye na munni ahyɛde a merema mo nnɛ yi biara so, sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a mubenya nkwa na mo ase adɔ dɔɔso na moakɔfa asase a Awurade kaa ntam de hyɛɛ mo agyanom bɔ no atena so.
2 and thou hast remembered all the way which Jehovah thy God hath caused thee to go these forty years in the wilderness, in order to humble thee to try thee, to know that which [is] in thy heart, whether thou dost keep His commands or not.
Monkae sɛnea Awurade mo Nyankopɔn dii mo anim faa sare so mfe aduanan, nam so brɛɛ mo ase de sɔɔ mo suban hwɛe sɛ mubedi ne mmara so anaasɛ morenni so no.
3 'And He doth humble thee, and cause thee to hunger and doth cause thee to eat the manna (which thou hast not known, even thy fathers have not known), in order to cause thee to know that not by bread alone doth man live, but by every produce of the mouth of Jehovah man doth live.
Nokware, ɔmaa ɔkɔm dee mo nam so brɛɛ mo ase na ɔmaa mo mana, aduan a na anka mo ne mo agyanom nnii bi da, dii. Ɔyɛɛ saa de kyerɛɛ mo sɛ, ɛnyɛ aduan nko ara na ɛho hia onipa wɔ nʼasetena mu, na mmom, asɛm biara a efi Awurade anom.
4 'Thy raiment hath not worn out from off thee, and thy foot hath not swelled these forty years,
Mfe aduanan yi nyinaa mu, mo ntade antetew na mo anan ammɔ mpumpunnya na anhonhon nso.
5 and thou hast known, with thy heart, that as a man chastiseth his son Jehovah thy God is chastising thee,
Munhu wɔ mo koma mu sɛ, sɛnea ɔbeatan teɛ ne ba no, saa ara nso na Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn, teɛ mo de siesie mo no.
6 and thou hast kept the commands of Jehovah thy God, to walk in His ways, and to fear Him.
Munni Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn, ahyɛde so na monnantew nʼakwan so na momfa nidi mma no.
7 'For Jehovah thy God is bringing thee in unto a good land, a land of brooks of waters, of fountains, and of depths coming out in valley and in mountain:
Efisɛ mo Awurade de mo rekɔ asase pa so; asase a nsuten, mmura ne nsuti sen wɔ abon ne mmepɔw mu;
8 a land of wheat, and barley, and vine, and fig, and pomegranate; a land of oil olive and honey;
asase a atoko, awi, bobe, borɔdɔma, atoaa, ngodua ne ɛwo wɔ so.
9 a land in which without scarcity thou dost eat bread, thou dost not lack anything in it; a land whose stones [are] iron, and out of its mountains thou dost dig brass;
Ɛyɛ asase a aduan abu wɔ so a wonni biribiara ho hia wɔ so; asase a ɛso abo yɛ adaban na wobetumi atu kɔbere wɔ ne mmepɔw mu.
10 and thou hast eaten, and been satisfied, and hast blessed Jehovah thy God, on the good land which he hath given to thee.
Sɛ mudidi mee a, munhyira Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn, wɔ asase pa a ɔde ama mo no nti.
11 'Take heed to thyself, lest thou forget Jehovah thy God so as not to keep His commands, and His judgments, and His statutes which I am commanding thee to-day;
Na monhwɛ yiye na mo werɛ amfi Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn, sɛ morenni ne mmara ne nʼahyɛde a merehyɛ mo nnɛ yi so.
12 lest thou eat, and hast been satisfied, and good houses dost build, and hast inhabited;
Anyɛ saa na sɛ mudidi na momee na musisi mo afi afɛfɛ, na mokɔtenatena mu
13 and thy herd and thy flock be multiplied, and silver and gold be multiplied to thee; and all that is thine be multiplied:
na mo anantwi ne nguan ase dɔ, na munya dwetɛ ne sika pii, na mo agyapade nyinaa dɔɔso
14 'And thy heart hath been high, and thou hast forgotten Jehovah thy God (who is bringing thee out of the land of Egypt, out of a house of servants;
a, saa bere no na ɛsɛ sɛ mohwɛ yiye. Monnyɛ ahomaso na mommma mo werɛ mmfi Awurade mo Nyankopɔn a oyii mo fii Misraim nkoasom asase so no.
15 who is causing thee to go in the great and the terrible wilderness — burning serpent, and scorpion, and thirst — where there is no water; who is bringing out to thee waters from the flinty rock;
Ɔno na odii mo anim yii mo fii sare a na ɛso yɛ hu, asase sakoo a osukɔm wɔ so, na awɔ ne nkekantwɛre a wɔn ano wɔ bɔre wɔ so no so. Ɔmaa mo nsu fi ɔbotan mu.
16 who is causing thee to eat manna in the wilderness, which thy fathers have not known, in order to humble thee, and in order to try thee, to do thee good in thy latter end),
Ɔmaa mo mana aduan a mo agyanom nnim dii wɔ sare so. Ɔyɛɛ eyi de brɛɛ mo ase, de sɔɔ mo hwɛe na wama awiei no asi mo yiye.
17 and thou hast said in thy heart, My power, and the might of my hand, hath made for me this wealth:
Ɔyɛɛ saa de kyerɛɛ mo sɛ, ɛnsɛ sɛ modwene sɛ mo ahonya no fi mo ankasa mo ahoɔden mu.
18 'And thou hast remembered Jehovah thy God, for He it [is] who is giving to thee power to make wealth, in order to establish His covenant which He hath sworn to thy fathers as [at] this day.
Daa monkae sɛ Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn, a ɔma mo tumi ma moyɛ adefo no, ɔyɛ saa de di apam a ɔne mo agyanom hyɛe no so.
19 'And it hath been — if thou really forget Jehovah thy God, and hast gone after other gods, and served them, and bowed thyself to them, I have testified against you to-day that ye do utterly perish;
Sɛ mo werɛ fi Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn, na mokodi anyame afoforo akyi, som wɔn, kotow wɔn a, sɛe na wɔbɛsɛe mo.
20 as the nations whom Jehovah is destroying from your presence, so ye perish; because ye hearken not to the voice of Jehovah your God.
Sɛnea Awurade asɛe amanaman a na wɔwɔ mo anim no, mo nso sɛ moantie Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn no a, saa ara na wɔbɛsɛe mo.
