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 Adonai said to me, “Cut two stone tablets like the first, and come up to me onto the mountain, and make 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.”

I will write on the tables the words that were on the first tables which you broke, and you shall 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.

So I made an ark of acacia wood, and cut two stone tablets like the first, and went up onto the mountain, having 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.

He wrote on the tables, according to the first writing, the Ten Words, which Adonai spoke to you on the mountain out of the middle of the fire in the day of the assembly: and Adonai gave them to 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.

I turned and came down from the mountain, and put the tables in the ark which I had made; and there they are as Adonai enjoined 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.

(The children of Israel [God prevails] traveled from Beeroth Bene Jaakan to Moserah. There Aaron [Light-bringer] died, and there he was buried; and Eleazar [Help of God] his son ministered in the priest’s office in his place.

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

From there they traveled to Gudgodah; and from Gudgodah to Jotbathah, a land of brooks of water.

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 Adonai set apart the tribe of Levi [United with], to bear the ark of Adonai’s covenant, to stand before Adonai to minister to him, and to bless in his name, to 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 Levi [United with] has no portion nor inheritance with his brothers; Adonai is his inheritance, according as Adonai your God spoke 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.

I stayed on the mountain, as at the first time, forty days and forty nights: and Adonai sh'ma ·heard obeyed· me that time also; Adonai would not destroy you.

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.”

Adonai said to me, “Arise, take your journey before the people; and they shall go in and possess the land, which I swore to their fathers to give to 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,

Now, Israel [God prevails], what does Adonai your God require of you, but to fear Adonai your God, to walk in all his ways, and to 'ahav ·affectionately love· him, and to abad ·serve· Adonai your God with all your heart and with all your soul,

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

to keep Adonai’s mitzvot ·instructions· and statutes, which I enjoin you today for your good?

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

Behold, to Adonai your God belongs heaven and the heaven of heavens, the earth, with all that is therein.

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.

Only Adonai had chasak ·to set one’s affection· for your fathers to 'ahav ·affectionately love· them, and he chose their offspring after them, even you above all peoples, as it is today.

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

Circumcise therefore the foreskin 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 Adonai your God, he is Elohei of the elohim ·God of the deities·, and the 'Adonei of the adoneim ·the Lord of the lords·, the great God, the mighty, and the awesome, who does not respect persons, nor takes reward.

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

He does execute right judgments for the orphan and widow, and 'ahav ·affectionately loves· the foreigner, in giving him food and clothing.

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

Therefore 'ahav ·affectionately love· the foreigner; for you were foreigners in the land of Egypt [Abode of slavery].

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

You shall fear Adonai your God; you shall abad ·serve· him; and you shall dabak ·cling to, worship· him, and you shall swear by his name.

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

He is your tehilah ·praise song·, and he is your God, who has done for you these great and awesome things, which your 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.

Your fathers went down into Egypt [Abode of slavery] with seventy persons; and now Adonai your God has made you as the stars of the sky for multitude.
