UDutheronomi 12
1 “Lezi yizo izimiso lemilayo okumele likugcine ngonanzelelo elizweni uThixo uNkulunkulu wabokhokho benu alinika lona ukuba libe ngelenu nxa lilokhu lisahlala kulelolizwe.
Eyinom ne mmara ne ahyɛde a ɛsɛ sɛ mohwɛ na mudi so, mmere dodow a mote asase a Awurade, mo agyanom Nyankopɔn, de ama mo no so.
2 Dilizani ngokupheleleyo zonke izindawo izizwe elizinqobayo ezazikhonzela onkulunkulu bazo khona, ezintabeni eziphakemeyo lasemaqaqeni kanye langaphansi kwezihlahla ezinabileyo.
Sɛ mutu aman a wɔtete hɔ no fi hɔ a, mosɛe mmeae ahorow bi sɛ mmepɔw atifi, nkoko so, ne nnua a atrɛtrɛw no ase a wɔsom wɔn anyame no nyinaa.
3 Dilizani ama-alithare ezizwe, libhidlize amatshe abawakhonzayo litshise izinsika zika-Ashera emlilweni, dilizelani phansi izithombe zabo lihle lichithe licitshe amabizo abo kulezondawo.
Mummubu wɔn afɔremuka nyinaa na monyam wɔn ɔsom adum no. Momfa ogya nhyew wɔn abosompɔw na mommobɔ wɔn ahoni a wɔayeyɛ no. Mompepa wɔn ahoni no din mfi mmeae ahorow a ɛwɔ no.
4 Lingalandeli izindlela zabo zokukhonza uThixo uNkulunkulu wenu.
Mommfa wɔn akwan no so nsom Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn.
5 Kodwa lizadinga indawo uThixo uNkulunkulu wenu azayikhetha phakathi kwazo zonke izizwana zenu, ukuze abeke iBizo lakhe lapho, ahlale khona. Kumele liye kuleyondawo;
Na mmom, monhwehwɛ faako a Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn, beyi afi mo mmusuakuw mu ama mo no na munnyina ne din wɔ hɔ sɛ nʼatenae. Beae hɔ na ɛsɛ sɛ mokɔ.
6 khonapho lilethe iminikelo yenu yokutshiswa lemihlatshelo, lokwetshumi kwenu lezipho zenu eziqakathekileyo, lokho elifunge ukukunikela kanye leminikelo yenu yokuzithandela, amazibulo emihlambi yenu yenkomo leyezimvu.
Ɛhɔ na momfa mo hyew afɔrebɔde mmra mmɛbɔ a mo ntotoso du du, akyɛde sononko, ade a moaka ho ntam sɛ mode bɛba ne afɔrebɔde a efi mo pɛ mu, mo anantwi ne mo nguan mu mmakan nso nka ho.
7 Khonapho, phambi kukaThixo uNkulunkulu wenu, lina kanye labantwabenu lizakudla njalo lijabule ngakho konke elike labeka izandla zenu kukho, ngoba uThixo uNkulunkulu wenu ulibusisile.
Ɛhɔ, Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn no anim hɔ no, na mo ne mo abusuafo bedidi na mo ani agye wɔ biribiara a mode mo nsa aka ho, efisɛ Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn, ahyira mo.
8 Lingabokwenza njengalokhu esikwenza lamuhla, ngamunye esenza njengokuthanda kwakhe,
Nnɛ yi, nea mopɛ biara na moyɛ, nanso ɛnsɛ sɛ ɛba saa,
9 ngoba alikangeni endaweni yokuphumula kanye lelifeni uThixo uNkulunkulu wenu alinika lona.
efisɛ munnuu ahomegyebea ne agyapade a Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn, de rebɛma mo no hɔ ɛ.
10 Kodwa lizachapha uJodani liyekwakha lihlale elizweni uThixo uNkulunkulu wenu alinika lona ukuba libe yilifa lenu, njalo uzaliphumuza ezitheni zenu elakhelene lazo ukuze lihlale livikelekile.
Nanso mubetwa Asubɔnten Yordan akɔtena asase a Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn, de rema mo sɛ agyapade no so. Na ɔbɛma mo ahomegye ne bammɔ afi mo atamfo a wɔatwa mo ho ahyia no nsam na moatena ase dwoodwoo.
11 Okumayelana lendawo uThixo uNkulunkulu wenu azayikhetha ibe likhaya leBizo lakhe, kulapho elizaletha konke engililaya ngakho: iminikelo yenu yokutshiswa lemihlatshelo, okwetshumi kwenu lezipho zenu eziqakathekileyo, kanye lazozonke impahla elikhethe ukufunga ngazo kuThixo.
Momfa biribiara a mehyɛ mo sɛ momfa mmra sɛ ɛyɛ mo ɔhyew afɔrebɔde, ntotoso du du, akyɛde sononko ne mo ɔma ahorow no mfa nhyɛ mo ntanka no mu kena wɔ beae a Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn, beyi ama mo a sɛ monsɔre ne din wɔ hɔ no.
12 Khona lapho lijabule phambi kukaThixo uNkulunkulu wenu, lina, amadodana lamadodakazi enu, izinceku lezincekukazi zenu, kanye labaLevi abavela emadolobheni enu, abangelasabelo loba ilifa abaliphiwayo libe ngelabo.
Mo ne mo mmabarima, mo mmabea ne mo nkoa nyinaa nnye mo ani wɔ hɔ wɔ Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn no, anim. Na monkae Lewifo a wɔtete mo nkurow so no a wonni wɔn ankasa agyapade no.
13 Limukani linganikeleli iminikelo yenu yokutshiswa ingqe kungaphi elithanda khona.
Monhwɛ yiye na moammɔ mo hyew afɔre wɔ baabiara a mopɛ.
14 Nikelelani kuphela endaweni uThixo azayikhetha phakathi kwezizwana zenu kuthi selilapho linanzelele konke engililaya ngakho.
Mommɔ wɔ baabi pɔtee a Awurade ayi afi mo mmusua asase bi mu ama mo no nkutoo. Ɛhɔ na monyɛ biribiara a mehyɛ mo sɛ monyɛ no.
15 Ngalokho-ke, selilakho ukuhlaba izifuyo zenu lizibulale njengalokhu okwenziwayo emadolobheni enu njalo lidle yonke leyonyama elifisa ukuyidla, kungani lithaka loba imbabala, kusiya ngesibusiso leso lowo lalowo ayabe ebusiswe ngaso nguThixo uNkulunkulu wenu. Bonke labangahlanzekanga labahlanzekileyo ngokomkhuba bavunyelwe ukuyidla.
Nanso kurow biara a mopɛ so no, mutumi kum mmoa we sɛnea mukum atwe ne adabɔ no. Mutumi we nam dodow biara a Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn, de behyira mo no. Wɔn a wɔn ho tew ne wɔn a wɔn ho ntew no nyinaa tumi we bi.
16 Kodwa lingadli igazi lazo; lilahleni kungathi lichitha amanzi phansi.
Nanso ɛnsɛ sɛ mudi mogya no. Muntwa ngu fam te sɛ nsu.
17 Lingakudli emadolobheni enu okwetshumi kwamabele enu kanye lokwewayini elitsha lamafutha, loba amazibulo emihlambi yezifuyo zenu, lakho konke eselifunge lathembisa ukuba lizanikela ngakho, leminikelo yenu yokuzithandela loba izipho eziqakathekileyo.
Ɛnsɛ sɛ mudi mo afɔre, ntotoso du du a efi mo atoko mu, mo nsa foforo ne ngo anaa mo anantwi ne mo nguan abakan wɔ mo kurow mu. Biribiara a moaka ho ntam sɛ mode bɛma Awurade anaa nea mufi mo koma mu ahyɛ ho bɔ anaa akyɛde sononko biara no, ɛnsɛ sɛ mudi.
18 Kodwa kumele likudle phambi kukaThixo uNkulunkulu wenu endaweni ezakhethwa nguThixo uNkulunkulu wenu, lina, amadodana lamadodakazi enu, izinceku lezincekukazi zenu, kanye labaLevi abavela emadolobheni enu, lina labo lizajabula phambi kukaThixo uNkulunkulu wenu ngakho konke elikuphatha ngezandla zenu.
Mmom, ɛsɛ sɛ mudi wɔ Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn, anim wɔ faako a Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn no, bɛkyerɛ mo a mo, mo mmabarima ne mo mmabea, mo nkoa ne mo mfenaa ne Lewifo a wofi mo nkurow mu ka ho no, munnye mo ani wɔ Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn no, anim wɔ biribiara a mobɛyɛ no ho.
19 Linanzelele lingalibali beselikhohlwa abaLevi nxa lilokhu lisahlala elizweni lenu.
Monhwɛ yiye na moanyi Lewifo no mu wɔ mmere dodow a mote mo asase so no.
20 Nxa uThixo uNkulunkulu wenu eseqhelisile ilizwe lenu njengokulethembisa kwakhe, libe seliloyisa ukudla inyama lithi, ‘Ngifisa ukudla inyama,’ kulapho elizakudla khona lize lifike lapho elithanda khona.
Sɛ Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn, trɛw mo hye mu sɛnea wahyɛ mo ho bɔ no, na sɛ mo kɔn dɔ nam ka se, “Yenya nam bi a anka yɛbɛwe” a, ɛno de, mubetumi awe nam dodow biara a mopɛ.
21 Nxa indawo leyo lapho uThixo uNkulunkulu wenu akhetha ukubeka iBizo lakhe ikhatshana kakhulu lani, lingahlaba emihlambini yezifuyo leyezimvu njengokuyiphiwa kwenu nguThixo, njengoba ngililayile, kuthi emadolobheni enu lizidle lezozifuyo njengokuthanda kwenu.
Sɛ faako a Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn no, ayi ama mo sɛ monkamfo ne din hɔ no ne mmeae a mowɔ no ntam ware a, mutumi kum mo anantwi anaa nguan a Awurade de ama mo no dodow biara a mopɛ no wɔ mo afi mu sɛnea mahyɛ mo no.
22 Lidle kungathi lidla ithaka lembabala. Bonke abangahlanzekanga ngokomkhuba labahlanzekileyo bangadla.
Monwe sɛnea mowe atwe anaa adabɔ. Wɔn a wɔn ho ntew ne wɔn a wɔn ho tew no nyinaa tumi we bi.
23 Kodwa linanzelele lingadli igazi, ngoba igazi yiyo impilo ngakho akufanelanga ukuthi lidle impilo lenyama.
Monhwɛ sɛ morenni mogya no, efisɛ mogya no ne nkwa no, na ɛnsɛ sɛ mudi nkwa no ne nam no.
24 Lingabokudla igazi; lichitheleni emhlabathini kungathi lilahla amanzi.
Munni mogya no; mmom, munhwie ngu fam sɛ nsu.
25 Lingadli, ukuze kulihambele kuhle lina kanye labantwabenu abezayo, ngoba lizabe lenze okuhle emehlweni kaThixo.
Munnni mogya no na asi mo ne mo mma yiye, efisɛ moyɛ saa a na moayɛ nea ɛteɛ wɔ Awurade ani so.
26 Kodwa thathani lokho okugcotshiweyo lalokho elifunge ukukunikela lisuke liye endaweni ezakhethwa nguThixo.
Momfa mo nneɛma a moatew ho ne nea moaka ho ntam sɛ mobɛma biara no, na monkɔ beae a Awurade bɛpaw no.
27 Lethani iminikelo yenu yokutshiswa e-alithareni likaThixo uNkulunkulu wenu, konke inyama kanye legazi. Igazi leminikelo yenu lilichithele phansi kwe-alithari likaThixo uNkulunkulu wenu, kodwa lingadla inyama yakhona.
Momfa mo ɔhyew afɔre, nam ne mogya no nyinaa, ngu Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn no, afɔremuka so. Ɛsɛ sɛ muhwie mo afɔrebɔde no mogya no gu Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn no, afɔremuka no nkyɛn. Mmom, mubetumi awe nam no.
28 Linanzelele lilandele iziqondiso zonke engilinika zona, ukuze kulihambele kuhle lina kanye labantwabenu abezayo ngemva kwenu, ngoba lizabe lenze okuhle njalo kulungile emehlweni kaThixo uNkulunkulu wenu.
Monhwɛ sɛ mubedi mmara ahorow a mede rema mo yi nyinaa so, na asi mo ne mo mma a wɔbɛba wɔ mo akyi no yiye, efisɛ ɛno na ɛbɛyɛ nea eye ne nea ɛteɛ wɔ Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn no ani so.
29 UThixo uNkulunkulu wenu uzazichitha phambi kwenu zonke izizwe okufanele lizihlasele libe selizemuka okungokwazo. Kodwa nxa selizinqobile lazichitha selihlezi elizweni lazo,
Na Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn no, bedi mo anim kan akɔsɛe aman a morekɔtoa wɔn no na mopam wɔn. Na sɛ mopam wɔn kɔtena wɔn nsase no so,
30 njalo nxa sezichithiwe phambi kwenu, liqaphele lingahugeki ngokubuza ngabonkulunkulu bazo lisithi, ‘Kanti zona lezizizwe zibakhonza njani onkulunkulu bazo? Lathi sizakwenza okufananayo.’
na sɛ wonya di mo anim sɛe wɔn a, monhwɛ yiye na moammisa wɔn anyame no ase anka se, “Ɔkwan bɛn so na saa aman yi fa som wɔn anyame? Yɛpɛ sɛ yɛyɛ saa bi,” amfa so ankɔtɔ afiri mu.
31 Lingabokhonza uThixo uNkulunkulu wenu ngendlela abakhonza ngayo, ngoba ekukhonzeni kwabo onkulunkulu babo, benza konke okunengisayo okungasoze kwamukeleke kuThixo. Baya baze batshise amadodana lamadodakazi abo emlilweni bethi bayanikela kubonkulunkulu babo.
Mommfa wɔn kwan so nsom Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn no, efisɛ wɔn anyame no som mu no, wɔyɛ akyiwade ahorow a Awurade kyi no nyinaa mpɛ. Mpo, wɔhyew wɔn mmabarima ne wɔn mmabea wɔ ogya sɛ wɔde rebɔ afɔre ama wɔn anyame no.
32 Nanzelelani ukuthi lenza lokho engililaya ngakho, lingengezeleli loba liphungule kulokho.”
Monhwɛ sɛ mubedi nea mahyɛ mo no nyinaa so; mommfa bi nka ho na munnyi bi nso mfi mu.
