5 Mose 10

1 Saa bere no, Awurade ka kyerɛɛ me se, “Twa abo apon no abien te sɛ kan de no na foro bra me nkyɛn wɔ bepɔw no so. Afei, yɛ dua adaka a wobɛkora wɔ mu.

At that time the Lord said unto me, Hew for thyself two tables of stone like unto the first, and come up unto me into the mount; and make thyself an ark of wood.

2 Mɛkyerɛw nsɛm a mekyerɛw guu abo apon abien a edi kan a wububuu mu no bi pɛpɛɛpɛ agu so. Na fa hyɛ adaka no mu.”

And I will write on the tables the words that were on the first tables which thou hast broken; and thou shalt put them in the ark.

3 Na mede dua ɔkanto yɛɛ adaka, sen abo apon abien sɛ kan de no, na meforoo bepɔw no a na mikura apon abien no.

And I made an ark of shittim-wood, and hewed two tables of stone like unto the first; and I went up into the mount, with the two tables in my hand.

4 Awurade kyerɛw nsɛm a wakyerɛw bi dedaw, Mmaransɛm Du, a ɔkaa ho asɛm kyerɛɛ mo fi ogya mu wɔ bepɔw no so wɔ mo nhyiamu ase no guu apon no so. Na Awurade de maa me.

And he wrote on the tables, like the first writing, the ten commandments, which the Lord had spoken unto you on the mount out of the midst of the fire on the day of the assembly; and the Lord gave them unto me.

5 Na misan fii bepɔw no so na mede abo apon no bɛhyɛɛ adaka a mayɛ no mu sɛnea Awurade hyɛɛ me sɛ menyɛ no, na ɛwɔ hɔ besi nnɛ.

And I turned myself and came down from the mount, and I put the tables in the ark which I had made; and they have remained there, as the Lord hath commanded me.

6 Na Israelfo tu fii Beerot-Bene-Yaakan mmura ho kɔɔ Mosera. Ɛhɔ na Aaron wu ma wosiee no. Aaron babarima Eleasar sii nʼanan mu dii sɔfo.

And the children of Israel took their journey from the wells of the children of Ya'akan to Mosserah: there Aaron died, and he was buried there; and Elazar his son became priest in his stead.

7 Wofi hɔ tu kɔɔ Gudgod. Wofi Gudgod no, wɔkɔɔ Yotbata, asase a nsuten pii wɔ so.

From there they journeyed unto Gudgodah; and from Gudgodah to Yotbatha, a land of brooks of waters.

8 Ɛhɔ na Awurade yii Lewifo abusuakuw sɛ wɔnsoa Awurade apam adaka no na wonnyina Awurade anim nsom no na wɔmfa ne din so nhyira, sɛnea wɔyɛ no nnɛ yi.

At that time did the Lord separate the tribe of Levi, to bear the ark of the covenant of the Lord, to stand before the Lord to minister unto him, and to bless in his name, unto this day.

9 Ɛno nti na Lewifo no nni agyapade wɔ wɔn mfɛfo Israelfo no mu no. Awurade no ankasa ne wɔn agyapade sɛnea Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn, ka kyerɛɛ wɔn no.

Therefore was not assigned unto Levi any portion or inheritance with his brethren: the Lord is his inheritance, as the Lord thy God hath spoken to him.

10 Na metenaa bepɔw no so wɔ Awurade anim adaduanan, awia ne anadwo sɛnea meyɛɛ kan no. Na Awurade tiee me bio. Na ɛnyɛ ne pɛ sɛ ɔbɛsɛe mo.

And I stayed on the mount, like the first days, forty days and forty nights; and the Lord hearkened unto me also at that time, the Lord would not destroy thee.

11 Awurade ka kyerɛɛ me se, “Sɔre na di nnipa no anim fa wɔn kɔ asase a mekaa ntam sɛ mede bɛma wɔn agyanom no so na wɔmfa no sɛ agyapade.”

And the Lord said unto me, Arise, go on the journey before the people, that they may go in and take possession of the land, which I have sworn unto their fathers to give unto them.

12 Na afei, Israel, dɛn na Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn, hwehwɛ afi mo nkyɛn? Ɔhwehwɛ sɛ musuro no na moyɛ nʼapɛde, na mode mo koma ne mo kra nyinaa dɔ no na mosom no,

And now, Israel, what doth the Lord thy God require of thee, but to fear the Lord thy God, to walk in all his ways, and to love him, and to serve the Lord thy God with all thy heart and with all thy soul,

13 na mudi Awurade ahyɛde ne ne mmara a mede rema mo nnɛ yi so, na asi mo yiye.

To keep the commandments of the Lord, and his statutes, which I command thee this day, for thy own good?

14 Ɔsorosoro mu soro ne asase ne nea ɛwɔ mu nyinaa yɛ Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn no, de.

Behold, to the Lord thy God belong the heavens and the heavens of heavens, and the earth with all that is thereon;

15 Nanso Awurade nyaa abadae maa mo agyanom na ɔdɔ wɔn, na ɔpaw mo a moyɛ wɔn asefo gyaa aman nyinaa sɛnea ɛte nnɛ yi.

Yet only in thy fathers had the Lord delight, to love them; he chose, therefore, their seed after them, namely you, from all the nations, as it is this day.

16 Ɛno nti, monhohoro mo koma mu bɔne na munnyae asoɔden no.

Remove therefore the obduracy of your heart, and be no more stiff-necked.

17 Na Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn, yɛ ahene mu hene ne anyame mu nyame. Ɔyɛ Onyankopɔn kɛse, otumfo ne ɔnwonwani a ɔnkyea nʼaso na onnye adanmude nso.

For the Lord your God is the God of gods, and the Lord of lords, the great, the mighty, and the terrible God, who hath no regard to persons, and taketh no bribe;

18 Ɔko ma nyisaa ne akunafo, na ɔdɔ ahɔho a wɔte mo mu. Ɔma wɔn aduan ne ntama.

Who executeth justice for the fatherless and the widow, and loveth the stranger, to give him food and raiment.

19 Mo nso, ɛsɛ sɛ modɔ ahɔho, efisɛ bere bi na mo ankasa nso yɛ ahɔho wɔ Misraim asase so.

Love ye then the stranger; for you have been strangers in the land of Egypt.

20 Munsuro Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn, na mosom no. Moka mo ho mmata ne ho, na mo ntam a moka nyɛ ne din nko ara.

The Lord thy God shalt thou fear: him shalt thou serve, and to him shalt thou cleave, and by his name shalt thou swear.

21 Ɔyɛ mo Nyankopɔn a ɛsɛ sɛ mokamfo no. Ɔno na wayɛ anwonwade akɛse a mo nyinaa ahu bi.

He is thy praise, and he is thy God, who hath done for thee these great and fearful things, which thy own eyes have seen.

22 Na mo agyanom a wɔkɔɔ Misraim no nyinaa dodow yɛ aduɔson. Nanso afei, Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn no ama mo ase adɔ te sɛ soro nsoromma.

With seventy persons did thy fathers go down into Egypt; and now the Lord thy God hath made thee like the stars of heaven in multitude.
