UDutheronomi 7
1 “Lapho uThixo uNkulunkulu wenu elingenisa elizweni alinika lona ukuba libe ngelenu uxotsha izizwe ezinengi phambi kwenu, amaHithi, amaGigashi, ama-Amori, amaKhenani, amaPherizi, amaHivi lamaJebusi, izizwe eziyisikhombisa ezinkulu njalo ezilamandla kulani,
Sɛ Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn, de mo ba asase a morebɛkɔ akɔtena so no so, na ɔpam amanaman pii a wɔwɔ mo anim, a wɔyɛ Hetifo, Girgasifo, Amorifo, Kanaanfo, Perisifo, Hewifo ne Yebusifo, aman ason a wɔwɔ so na wɔyɛ den sen mo,
2 kuthi lapho uThixo uNkulunkulu wenu esezinikele ezandleni zenu lani selizinqobile kufanele lizitshabalalise ngokupheleleyo. Lingabi lesivumelwano lazo, njalo lingabi lesihawu kuzo.
na Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn, de saa aman yi hyɛ mo nsa na mudi wɔn so a, monsɛe wɔn pasapasa. Mo ne wɔn nhyehyɛ apam biara na munnhu wɔn mmɔbɔ.
3 Lingendiselani lazo. Lingendiseli amadodakazi enu emadodaneni azo, kumbe lithathele amadodana enu amadodakazi azo,
Mo ne wɔn nni aware na mommma mo mmabea ne mo mmabarima nware wɔn mmabarima ne wɔn mmabea.
4 ngoba azaphambula amadodana enu ekungikhonzeni abesekhonza abanye onkulunkulu, kuthi ulaka lukaThixo luvuthe lulitshabalalise.
Efisɛ wɔbɛma mo mma asan afi mʼakyi akɔsom wɔn anyame foforo. Na Awurade abufuw bɛdɛw atia mo na wasɛe mo ntɛm.
5 Nanku okumele likwenze kulezi zizwe: Dilizani ama-alithare azo, libhidlize amatshe eziwakhonzayo, ligamule izinsika zika-Ashera njalo litshise izithombe zazo ngomlilo.
Nea ɛsɛ sɛ moyɛ wɔn ne sɛ, mummubu wɔn afɔremuka na munnwiriw wɔn abosom adum no ngu. Muntwitwa wɔn abosompɔw ngu na monhyew wɔn ahoni.
6 Phela lina lingabantu abangcwele kuThixo uNkulunkulu wenu. UThixo uNkulunkulu wenu ulikhethile phakathi kwabantu bonke emhlabeni ukuthi libe ngabantu bakhe, isipho sakhe esiligugu.
Na moyɛ nnipa kronkron a moyɛ, Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn no, de. Nnipa a wɔwɔ asase so nyinaa mu no, mo na Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn, ayi mo sɛ nʼagyapade a ɛsom no bo.
7 UThixo kazange ehlisele uthando lwakhe phezu kwenu ngoba libanengi kulezinye izizwe, phela lina livele liyisizwe sabantu abalutshwana.
Ɛnyɛ sɛ modɔɔso sen nnipa a aka no nti na Awurade anya mo ho dɔ no, mo na na musua koraa wɔ nnipa no nyinaa mu.
8 Kodwa kungenxa yokuthi uThixo walithanda wagcina isifungo asifunga kubokhokho benu walikhupha ngesandla esilamandla walihlenga ezweni lobugqili, emandleni kaFaro inkosi yaseGibhithe.
Na mmom, Awurade dɔɔ mo na odii ne ntam a ɔka kyerɛɛ mo agyanom sɛ ɔde ne nsa a tumi wɔ mu no beyi wɔn afi nkoasom asase so ne Misraimhene Farao tumi ase no.
9 Yazini-ke ukuthi uThixo uNkulunkulu wenu unguNkulunkulu; unguNkulunkulu othembekileyo, ogcina isivumelwano sothando kuze kufike esizukulwaneni senkulungwane salabo abamthandayo njalo begcina imilayo yakhe.
Enti munhu sɛ, Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn, yɛ Onyankopɔn; ɔyɛ nokware Nyankopɔn a odi wɔn a wɔdɔ no na wodi nʼahyɛde so no dɔ apam so kosi awo ntoatoaso apem so.
10 Kodwa labo abamzondayo uzaphindisela kubo ngokubabhubhisa; kayikuphuza ukuphindisela kulabo abamzondayo.
Nanso, ɔntwentwɛn na ɔtwe wɔn a wokyi no no aso, sɛe wɔn.
11 Kungakho, nanzelelani lilandele imilayo, izimiso kanye lemithetho engilinika yona lamuhla.
Ɛno nti, monhwɛ yiye na munni ahyɛde ne mmara a mede rema mo nnɛ yi nyinaa so.
12 Nxa linanzelela limithetho njalo liyilandela, uThixo uNkulunkulu wenu uzagcina isivumelwano sakhe sothando kini, njengoba wafunga kubokhokho benu.
Sɛ mutie mmara yi na mudi ne nyinaa so nokware mu a, Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn no, nso bedi nʼapam a ofi ne nokware dɔ mu ne mo agyanom pamee no so.
13 Uzalithanda alibusise andise ubunengi benu. Uzabusisa izithelo zenzalo yezisu zenu, izilimo zamasimu enu, amabele enu, iwayini elitsha kanye lamafutha, amathole emihlambi yenkomo zenu kanye lamazinyane emihlambi yezimvu zenu elizweni afunga ukuthi uzalinika okhokho benu ukuba balinike lona.
Ɔbɛdɔ mo na wahyira mo na wama mo ase afɛe. Obehyira mo yafunu mu ade; mo asase so nnɔbae, mo atoko, nsa foforo ne ngodua, mo nantwimma ne nguamma wɔ asase a ɔkaa ho ntam kyerɛɛ mo agyanom se ɔde bɛma mo no so.
14 Lina lizabusiswa okungaphezu kwabanye abantu; kakho phakathi kwamadoda labafazi kini ozaswela umntwana, njalo lezifuyo zenu ngeke ziswele amankonyane.
Wobehyira mo akyɛn aman a wɔwɔ asase so no nyinaa. Mo mmarima renyɛ asaadwe na mo mmea nso renyɛ abonin na mo nyɛmmoa nso bɛwowo.
15 UThixo uzaliphephisa emikhuhlaneni yonke. Kayikulehlisela imikhuhlane yonke eyesabekayo elaliyibona eGibhithe, kodwa uzayehlisela kulabo abalizondayo.
Na Awurade bɛbɔ mo ho ban afi ɔyare nyinaa ho. Ɔremma owuyare a bi bɔɔ mo wɔ Misraim no bi mmɔ mo na ɔde saa ɔyare no nyinaa begu mo atamfo so.
16 Libobhubhisa bonke abantu uThixo uNkulunkulu wenu abanikela ezandleni zenu. Lingabazweli usizi, lingakhonzi onkulunkulu babo, ngoba lokho kuzakuba yisifu kini.
Monsɛe aman a Awurade mo Nyankopɔn de bɛhyɛ mo nsa no nyinaa. Munhu wɔn mmɔbɔ na monnsom wɔn anyame. Sɛ moyɛ saa a, ebesum mo afiri.
17 Mhlawumbe lizakuthi: ‘Lezizizwe zilamandla kulathi. Sizazixotsha njani lapha?’
Mubebisa mo ho se, “Na sɛ saa aman yi yɛ den kyɛn yɛn. Ɛbɛyɛ dɛn na yɛatumi apam wɔn?”
18 Kodwa lingazesabi; khumbulani ukuthi uThixo uNkulunkulu wenu wenzani kuFaro kanye lakulo lonke elaseGibhithe.
Nanso munnsuro wɔn. Monkae ade a Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn, de yɛɛ Farao ne ne manfo nyinaa wɔ Misraim no.
19 Lazibonela ngawenu amehlo imilingo emikhulu, izibonakaliso zemilingo lezimanga, isandla esilamandla lokwelulwa kwengalo, khona okwasetshenziswa nguThixo wenu ukulikhupha. UThixo uNkulunkulu wenu uzakuphinda khonokho kubo laba abantu elibesabayo.
Mode mo ankasa mo ani huu amanehunu, nsɛnkyerɛnne a ɛyɛ hu ne anwonwasɛm a ɛbaa wɔn so, tumi nsa ne abasa a wɔatrɛw mu a Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn, nam so yii mo fii hɔ no. Nnipa a musuro wɔn mprempren no, Awurade Nyankopɔn de wɔn bɛfa saa ɔkwan koro no ara so.
20 Phezu kwalokho uThixo uNkulunkulu wenu uzathumela olonyovu phakathi kwabo kuze kuthi labasilileyo balicatshela babhujiswe.
Ɛno akyi no, Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn, bɛma mpenaa abɛpam kakra a wɔaka no afi wɔn ahintawee mu kosi sɛ wɔn ase bɛtɔre.
21 Lingabesabi, ngoba uThixo uNkulunkulu wenu ophakathi kwenu, nguThixo omkhulu njalo owesabekayo.
Munnsuro saa aman no, efisɛ Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn, a ɔso na ne ho yɛ nwonwa no wɔ mo afa.
22 UThixo uNkulunkulu wenu uzazidudula lezozizwe phambi kwenu kancanekancane. Aliyikuvunyelwa ukuzibhubhisa ngasikhathi sinye ngoba izinyamazana zeganga zinganda zilihanqe.
Nkakrankakra, Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn, bedi mo anim kan apam saa aman no. Ɔrenyi wɔn nyinaa mfi hɔ prɛko pɛ; anyɛ saa a, nkekaboa no ase bɛdɔ ntɛm na wɔaba mo so.
23 Kodwa uThixo uNkulunkulu wenu uzabanikela kini, abaphazamise baze babhujiswe.
Nanso Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn, de wɔn bɛhyɛ mo nsa, na ɔbɛma wɔn adwene ayɛ basabasa akosi sɛ ɔbɛsɛe wɔn.
24 Amakhosi azo uzawanikela ezandleni zenu, njalo lizakwesula amabizo awo ngaphansi komkhathi. Kakho ozakwenelisa ukumelana lani, lizababhubhisa.
Ɔde wɔn ahemfo bɛhyɛ mo nsa na mobɛpepa wɔn din afi ɔsoro ase. Obiara rentumi nsɔre ntia mo; mobɛsɛe wɔn.
25 Izithombe zabonkulunkulu bazo lizazitshisa ngomlilo. Lingahawukeli isiliva legolide eliphezu kwezithombe, lingazigcineli lona, ngoba lizabe selizibambisile emjibileni ngalo, ngoba liyisinengiso kuThixo uNkulunkulu wenu.
Momfa ogya nhyew wɔn anyame ahoni no. Mommma mo ani mmere dwetɛ anaa sikakɔkɔɔ a egugu so no na mommfa; anyɛ saa a ɛbɛyɛ mfiri ayi mo, efisɛ ɛyɛ Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn, akyiwade.
26 Lingalethi okunengisayo ezindlini zenu, ngoba lani njengakho lokho lizakhethelwa ukubhujiswa. Kwenyanyeni linengeke ngakho, ngoba kumiselwe ukutshabalaliswa.”
Mommfa akyiwade biara mma mo fi na wɔanyi mo angu nkyɛn amma ɔsɛe sɛ ɛno ara pɛ. Munhu no sɛ enye a wokyi korakora; efisɛ wɔayi ato hɔ ama ɔsɛe.
