“‘Mo mu biara nni ho ɛkwan sɛ ɔware obusuani a ɔbɛn no. Mene Awurade.
7 Ungembuli ubunqunu bukayihlo lobunqunu bukanyoko; ungunyoko, ungembuli ubunqunu bakhe.
“‘Ɛnsɛ sɛ abaayewa ware nʼagya anaasɛ ɔbabarima ware ne maame.
8 Ungembuli ubunqunu bomkayihlo, buyibunqunu bukayihlo.
“‘Anaa nʼagya yerenom mu bi.
9 Ubunqunu bukadadewenu, indodakazi kayihlo loba indodakazi kanyoko, ezelwe ekhaya loba ezelwe ngaphandle, ungembuli ubunqunu babo.
“‘Anaa ne nuabaa anaa nʼagya babaa anaa ne maame babaa, sɛ wɔwoo no efie no mu anaa efie foforɔ mu.
10 Ungembuli ubunqunu bendodakazi yendodana yakho, loba bendodakazi yendodakazi yakho, ngoba bayibunqunu bakho.
“‘Ɛnsɛ sɛ moware mo nanabaa, sɛ ɔyɛ mo babarima babaa anaa mo babaa babaa, ɛfiri sɛ, ɔyɛ obusuani.
11 Ubunqunu bendodakazi yomkayihlo ezelwe nguyihlo, ingudadewenu, ungembuli ubunqunu bayo.
“‘Ɛnsɛ sɛ woware wo nuabaa a ɔyɛ wʼagya yerenom bi babaa.
12 Ungembuli ubunqunu bukadadewabo kayihlo, ngoba eyisihlobo sikayihlo.
“‘Anaa wo sewaa—wo agya nuabaa, ɛfiri sɛ, ɔyɛ wʼagya abusuani pɛɛ.
13 Ungembuli ubunqunu bukadadewabo kanyoko, ngoba eyisihlobo sikanyoko.
“‘Saa ara na ɛnsɛ sɛ woware wo maame a ɔyɛ wo maame nuabaa, ɛfiri sɛ, ɔyɛ wo maame abusuani pɛɛ.
14 Ungembuli ubunqunu bomfowabo kayihlo; ungasondeli kumkakhe, ngoba enguyihlokazi.
“‘Wʼagya nuabarima yere nso, wonni ho ɛkwan sɛ woware no.
15 Ungembuli ubunqunu bukamalokozana; ungumkandodana yakho, ungembuli ubunqunu bakhe.
“‘Wonni ho ɛkwan sɛ woware wo babarima yere, ɛfiri sɛ, ɔyɛ wʼase.
16 Ungembuli ubunqunu bomkamfowenu, buyibunqunu bomfowenu.
“‘Saa ara nso na wontumi nnware wo nuabarima yere, ɛfiri sɛ, ɔyɛ wo nuabarima dea.
17 Ungembuli ubunqunu bowesifazana lobendodakazi yakhe; ungathathi indodakazi yendodana yakhe loba indodakazi yendodakazi yakhe, ukwembula ubunqunu bayo; bayizihlobo; kuyinkohlakalo.
“‘Worentumi nware ɔbaa bi nsane nware ne babaa anaa ne nanabaa nka ho, ɛfiri sɛ, wɔn nyinaa yɛ abusuafoɔ pɛɛ na ɛyɛ awudisɛm nso.
18 Ungathathi owesifazana kanye lodadewabo ukumhlupha, ukwembula ubunqunu bakhe kanye laye empilweni yakhe.
“‘Ɛnsɛ sɛ woware anuanom mmaa baanu, ɛfiri sɛ, wɔbɛtwe kora. Na sɛ ɛba sɛ wo yere wu na woware ne nuabaa bi deɛ a, ɛyɛ.
19 Ungasondeli kowesifazana ekwehlukanisweni kokungcola kwakhe ukwembula ubunqunu bakhe.
“‘Ɛnsɛ sɛ wofa ɔbaa a wakɔ afikyire.
20 Ungalali lomkamakhelwane wakho ukungcola ngaye.
“‘Ɛnsɛ sɛ wofa wo yɔnko yere de gu wo ho fi.
21 Unganiki okwenzalo yakho ukuthi ukudabulisele kuMoleki; ungangcolisi ibizo likaNkulunkulu wakho. NgiyiNkosi.
“‘Mfa wo mma mu biara mma Molek na ɔmmfa no mmɔ afɔdeɛ wɔ n’afɔrebukyia so. Ngu wo Onyankopɔn din ho fi, ɛfiri sɛ, mene Awurade.
22 Ungalali lowesilisa njengokulala lowesifazana; kuyisinengiso.
“‘Ɔbarima a ɔne ne yɔnko barima da yɛ akyiwadeɛ kɛseɛ na ɛyɛ bɔne a ɛso nso.
23 Ungalali laloba yiyiphi inyamazana ukungcola ngayo; futhi owesifazana angemi phambi kwenyamazana ukulala layo; kuyingxube elihlazo.
“‘Ɛnsɛ sɛ ɔbarima fa aboa de gu ne ho fi. Saa ara nso na ɛnsɛ sɛ ɔbaa de ne ho ma aboanini ma ɔfa no. Ɛyɛ akyiwadeɛ kɛseɛ.
24 Lingazingcolisi langenye yalezizinto, ngoba ngazo zonke lezizinto izizwe ziyangcoliswa engizixotsha phambi kwenu.
“‘Monngu mo ho fi wɔ saa akwan ahodoɔ yi biara so na yeinom ne deɛ abosonsomfoɔ yɛ. Esiane sɛ wɔyɛ saa enti, merebɛyi wɔn afiri asase a morekɔ so no so.
25 Ngalokho ilizwe lingcolile; ngakho ngiphindisela ububi balo phezu kwalo, lelizwe liyabahlanza abahlali balo.
Saa ahohwibra no agu ɔman mu no nyinaa ho fi; ɛno enti na meretwe nnipa a wɔte hɔ no aso na mɛyi wɔn afiri asase no so.
26 Ngakho lina lizagcina izimiso zami lezahlulelo zami, lingenzi okwazo zonke lezizinengiso; owokuzalwa elizweni loba owemzini ohlala njengowezizwe phakathi kwenu.
Ɛsɛ sɛ modi me mmara ne mʼahyɛdeɛ no nyinaa so pɛpɛɛpɛ na ɛnsɛ sɛ moyɛ saa akyiwadeɛ yi mu bi koraa. Saa mmara yi ka mo a wɔwoo mo Israelman mu ne ahɔhoɔ a wɔne mo te nyinaa.
27 Ngoba zonke lezizinengiso bazenza abantu balelolizwe ababekhona ngaphambi kwenu, ngakho ilizwe langcola.
Ampa ara, ɛfiri sɛ daa nnipa a wɔte saa asase a mede mo rekɔ so no so yɛ saa akyiwadeɛ yi enti, asase no ho agu fi.
28 Ukuze ilizwe lingalihlanzi lapho lilingcolisa, njengalokhu lahlanza isizwe esasikhona ngaphambi kwenu.
Monnyɛ saa adeɛ no bi, anyɛ saa a, mɛpam mo afiri asase no so sɛdeɛ mɛyɛ wɔn a wɔte hɔ seesei no.
29 Ngoba wonke owenza okwalezizinengiso, imiphefumulo ekwenzayo izaqunywa isuke ebantwini bayo.
“‘Obiara a ɔbɛyɛ akyiwadeɛ yi mu bi no, wɔbɛtwa no asuo afiri ɔman yi mu.
30 Ngakho lizagcina umlayo wami, ukuze lingenzi okwalezozimiso eziyisinengiso ezenziwa ngaphambi kwenu, ukuthi lingazingcolisi ngazo. NgiyiNkosi uNkulunkulu wenu.
Enti monhwɛ sɛ mobɛdi me mmara no so na monnyɛ saa abusudeɛ kɛseɛ yi bi. Monnkɔyɛ abususɛm a wɔn a wɔte asase a morekɔ so no yɛ no bi mmfa ngu mo ho fi. Mene Awurade mo Onyankopɔn.’”
