5 Mose 11

1 Monnɔ Awurade mo Nyankopɔn na munni nʼapɛde, ne mmara ne nʼahyɛde so bere nyinaa.

Therefore thou shalt love the LORD thy God, and keep his charge, and his statutes, and his judgments, and his commandments, alway.

2 Nnɛ, muntie, sɛ ɛnyɛ mo mma na wonyaa osuahu, huu Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn no nteɛso, ne tumi, ne basa kɛse, ne nsa a wateɛ mu;

And know ye this day: for [I speak] not with your children which have not known, and which have not seen the chastisement of the LORD your God, his greatness, his mighty hand, and his stretched out arm,

3 nsɛnkyerɛnne a ɔyɛe ne nneɛma a ɔyɛɛ wɔ Misraim pɛɛ maa bi kaa Misraimhene Farao ne ɔman mu no nyinaa no;

and his signs, and his works, which he did in the midst of Egypt unto Pharaoh the king of Egypt, and unto all his land;

4 dwuma a odii Misraim asraafo, wɔn apɔnkɔ ne wɔn nteaseɛnam no; sɛnea ɔmaa Po Kɔkɔɔ yiri faa wɔn bere a wɔtaa mo no ne sɛnea Awurade sɛee wɔn bere a wɔtaa mo no; ne sɛnea Awurade de ɔsɛe a to ntwa baa wɔn so no.

and what he did unto the army of Egypt, unto their horses, and to their chariots; how he made the water of the Red Sea to overflow them as they pursued after you, and how the LORD hath destroyed them unto this day;

5 Ɛnyɛ mo mma na wohuu nea ɔyɛ maa mo wɔ sare so hɔ de kosii sɛ mubeduu ha yi;

and what he did unto you in the wilderness, until ye came unto this place;

6 ne nea ɔde yɛɛ Eliab a na ɔyɛ Rubenni no mma Datan ne Abiram bere a ɔmma asase buee nʼanom wɔ mo Israelfo no anim menee wɔn ne wɔn afi ne wɔn ntamadan ne biribiara a na ɛyɛ wɔn agyapade a nkwa wɔ mu no.

and what he did unto Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab, the son of Reuben; how the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed them up, and their households, and their tents, and every living thing that followed them, in the midst of all Israel:

7 Mmom, ɛyɛ mo ankasa mo ani na mode ahu saa nneɛma akɛse a Awurade ayɛ yi nyinaa.

but your eyes have seen all the great work of the LORD which he did.

8 Enti munni mmara a merehyɛ mo nnɛ yi nyinaa so sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a mubenya ahoɔden akɔfa asase a morebetwa Yordan akɔ so akɔfa yi,

Therefore shall ye keep all the commandment which I command thee this day, that ye may be strong, and go in and possess the land, whither ye go over to possess it;

9 na mo nna aware asase a nufusu ne ɛwo sen wɔ so a Awurade kaa ntam kyerɛɛ mo agyanom sɛ ɔde bɛma wɔn ne wɔn asefo no so.

and that ye may prolong your days upon the land, which the LORD sware unto your fathers to give unto them and to their seed, a land flowing with milk and honey.

10 Asase a morekɔ so akɔfa no nte sɛ Misraim asase a mufi so bae no a na mudua nnɔbae a mode mo nan twa suka te sɛnea moyɛ atomude turo no.

For the land, whither thou goest in to possess it, is not as the land of Egypt, from whence ye came out, where thou sowedst thy seed, and wateredst it with thy foot, as a garden of herbs:

11 Na asase a moretwa Yordan akɔfa no yɛ mmepɔw ne abon a enya osu a efi ɔsoro.

but the land, whither ye go over to possess it, is a land of hills and valleys, [and] drinketh water of the rain of heaven:

12 Ɛyɛ asase a Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn no, ani wɔ ho. Daa Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn, ani wɔ so fi afe no mfiase de kosi nʼawie.

a land which the LORD thy God careth for; the eyes of the LORD thy God are always upon it, from the beginning of the year even unto the end of the year.

13 Sɛ mufi nokwaredi mu di mmara a merehyɛ ama mo nnɛ yi so sɛ mode mo koma ne mo kra nyinaa bɛdɔ Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn no, na moasom no a,

And it shall come to pass, if ye shall hearken diligently unto my commandments which I command you this day, to love the LORD your God, and to serve him with all your heart and with all your soul,

14 ɛno de, ɔbɛtɔ osu agu no asase so ne bere mu ama mo, na moatumi atwa mo awi, nsa foforo ne ngo.

that I will give the rain of your land in its season, the former rain and the latter rain, that thou mayest gather in thy corn, and thy wine, and thine oil.

15 Ɔbɛma mo sare pii na mo anantwi awe na mo nso mubedidi amee.

And I will give grass in thy fields for thy cattle, and thou shalt eat and be full.

16 Monhwɛ yiye, anyɛ saa a wɔbɛtwetwe mo ama moakɔsom anyame afoforo na moakotow wɔn.

Take heed to yourselves, lest your heart be deceived, and ye turn aside, and serve other gods, and worship them;

17 Ɛno na ɛbɛma Awurade abufuw ahuru atia mo; na ɔbɛto ɔsoro mu, na osu rentɔ, na asase remmɔ aduan biara, na ɛrenkyɛ na moawuwu afi asase a Awurade de rema mo no so.

and the anger of the LORD be kindled against you, and he shut up the heaven, that there be no rain, and that the land yield not her fruit; and ye perish quickly from off the good land which the LORD giveth you.

18 Enti momma me nsɛm yi ntim wɔ mo koma ne mo adwene mu. Momfa nkyekyere mo nsa sɛ nkae ade na momfa mmɔ abotiri.

Therefore shall ye lay up these my words in your heart and in your soul; and ye shall bind them for a sign upon your hand, and they shall be for frontlets between your eyes.

19 Monkyerɛkyerɛ mo mma na monka ho asɛm nkyerɛ wɔn bere a mote fie ne bere a monam akwan so; bere a modeda hɔ ne bere a mosɔre.

And ye shall teach them your children, talking of them, when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up.

20 Monkyerɛw ngu mo afi apongua ne mo abobow ano apon so,

And thou shalt write them upon the door posts of thine house, and upon thy gates:

21 sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a, ɔsoro da so kata asase ani yi, mo ne mo mma nkwa bɛware wɔ asase a Awurade kaa ho ntam sɛ ɔde bɛma mo agyanom no so.

that your days may be multiplied, and the days of your children, upon the land which the LORD sware unto your fathers to give them, as the days of the heavens above the earth.

22 Sɛ mudi ahyɛde ahorow a mede rema mo sɛ munni so; sɛ monnɔ Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn, nyɛ osetie mma no na munni no ni, yi so pɛpɛɛpɛ a,

For if ye shall diligently keep all this commandment which I command you, to do it; to love the LORD your God, to walk in all his ways, and to cleave unto him;

23 ɛno de, Awurade bɛpam saa aman yi nyinaa wɔ mo anim, na mubetu aman a ɛsoso na wɔyɛ den sen mo no agu.

then will the LORD drive out all these nations from before you, and ye shall possess nations greater and mightier than yourselves.

24 Baabiara a mode mo anan betia no bɛyɛ mo de. Mo ahye bɛtrɛw afi sare so akosi Lebanon, na afi Asubɔnten Eufrate akosi Ntam Po no.

Every place whereon the sole of your foot shall tread shall be yours: from the wilderness, and Lebanon, from the river, the river Euphrates, even unto the hinder sea shall be your border.

25 Obiara rentumi nsɔre ntia mo, efisɛ sɛnea Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn, ahyɛ bɔ no, ɔde mo ho huboa ne osuro bɛto asase no nyinaa so wɔ baabiara a mobɛkɔ.

There shall no man be able to stand before you: the LORD your God shall lay the fear of you and the dread of you upon all the land that ye shall tread upon, as he hath spoken unto you.

26 Hwɛ, nnɛ mede nhyira ne nnome resi mo anim;

Behold, I set before you this day a blessing and a curse;

27 sɛ mudi Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn, mmara a merehyɛ ama mo nnɛ yi so a, ɛbɛyɛ nhyira.

the blessing, if ye shall hearken unto the commandments of the LORD your God, which I command you this day:

28 Na sɛ mopo Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn mmara dan fi nʼakwan a merehyɛ mo nnɛ yi so, kɔsom anyame afoforo a, ɛbɛyɛ nnome.

and the curse, if ye shall not hearken unto the commandments of the LORD your God, but turn aside out of the way which I command you this day, to go after other gods, which ye have not known.

29 Na sɛ Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn, de mo du asase a morekɔ so akɔfa no a, monka nhyira nsɛm mfi Gerisim Bepɔw no so na monka nnome nsɛm nso mfi Ebal Bepɔw so.

And it shall come to pass, when the LORD thy God shall bring thee into the land whither thou goest to possess it, that thou shalt set the blessing upon mount Gerizim, and the curse upon mount Ebal.

30 Sɛnea munim no, mmepɔw abien yi wɔ Asubɔnten Yordan agya wɔ atɔe fam, a ɛkyerɛ owitɔe na ɛbɛn More kwae wɔ Kanaanfo a wɔte Araba no asase so; faako a wɔn ani tua Gilgal no.

Are they not beyond Jordan, behind the way of the going down of the sun, in the land of the Canaanites which dwell in the Arabah, over against Gilgal, beside the oaks of Moreh?

31 Moreyɛ atwa Yordan akɔfa asase a Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn, de rema mo no. Sɛ mokɔfa saa asase no kɔtena so a,

For ye are to pass over Jordan to go in to possess the land which the LORD your God giveth you, and ye shall possess it, and dwell therein.

32 monhwɛ yiye na munni mmara ne ahyɛde ahorow a mede rema mo nnɛ yi no nyinaa so.

And ye shall observe to do all the statutes and the judgments which I set before you this day.
