5 Mose 16

1 Daa munni Twam Afahyɛ no wɔ ɔsram Abib no mu mma Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn, efisɛ ɔsram Abib mu da bi anadwo na Onyankopɔn yii mo fii Misraim.

Observe the month of new corn, which is the first of the spring, that thou mayst celebrate the phase to the Lord thy God: because in this month the Lord thy God brought thee out of Egypt by night.

2 Munkum anantwi anaa nguan sɛ Twam afɔrebɔde mma Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn no, wɔ faako a Awurade beyi sɛ atenae wɔ ne din mu no.

And thou shalt sacrifice the phase to the Lord thy God, of sheep, and of oxen, in the place which the Lord thy God shall choose, that his name may dwell there.

3 Munnni mmɔkaw brodo nka ho; na mmom, nnanson so na munni apiti amanehunu brodo, efisɛ mufii Misraim ɔhare so, sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a mo nkwanna nyinaa mu no mobɛkae bere a mutu fii Misraim no.

Thou shalt not eat with it leavened bread: seven days shalt thou eat without leaven, the bread of affliction, because thou camest out of Egypt in fear: that thou mayst remember the day of thy coming out of Egypt, all the days of thy life.

4 Mommma wonhu sɛ mowɔ mmɔkaw wɔ mo nkyɛn wɔ mo nsase nyinaa so nnanson. Mommma nam a mode bɔɔ afɔre da a edi kan no anwummere no nka gya so nkosi anɔpa.

No leaven shall be seen in all thy coasts for seven days, neither shall any of the flesh of that which was sacrificed the first day in the evening remain until morning.

5 Mommɔ Twam Afahyɛ afɔre no wɔ nkurow a Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn no, de rema mo no mu biara so,

Thou mayst not immolate the phase in any one of thy cities, which the Lord thy God will give thee:

6 gye faako a Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn no, beyi sɛ wɔnkamfo ne din wɔ hɔ no. Ɛhɔ na mommɔ Twam afɔre no anwummere mfa nni mo Misraimfi bere no afahyɛ.

But in the place which the Lord thy God shall choose, that his name may dwell there: thou shalt immolate the phase in the evening, at the going down of the sun, at which time thou camest out of Egypt.

7 Montoto na monwe no wɔ faako a Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn no, bɛpaw ama mo no. Na ade kye a, monsan nkɔ mo ntamadan mu.

And thou shalt dress, and eat it in the place which the Lord thy God shall choose, and in the morning rising up thou shalt go into thy dwellings.

8 Nnansia na momfa nni apiti, na ne nnanson so no, nnipa no nyinaa nhyia wɔ Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn no, anim. Na saa da no, obiara nyɛ adwuma.

Six days shalt thou eat unleavened bread: and on the seventh day, because it is the assembly of the Lord thy God, thou shalt do no work.

9 Mumfi bere a mubefi ase atwa atoko no nkan nnaawɔtwe ason.

Thou shalt number unto thee seven weeks from that day, wherein thou didst put the sickle to the corn.

10 Na monhwɛ sɛnea Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn no, asi ahyira mo no so mfi mo pɛ mu mmɔ afɔre, nnyina so nni Asese Afahyɛ no mma Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn no.

And thou shalt celebrate the festival of weeks to the Lord thy God, a voluntary oblation of thy hand, which thou shalt offer according to the blessing of the Lord thy God.

11 Na munnye mo ani wɔ Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn no, anim wɔ faako a ɔbɛpaw sɛ atenae ma ne din no. Mo ne mo mmabarima ne mo mmabea, mo nkoa ne mo mfenaa, Lewifo a wɔwɔ mo nkurow mu ne ahɔho, nyisaa ne akunafo a wɔne mo te nyinaa.

And thou shalt feast before the Lord thy God, thou, and thy son, and thy daughter, and thy manservant, and thy maidservant, and the Levite that is within thy gates, and the stranger and the fatherless, and the widow, who abide with you: in the place which the Lord thy God shall choose, that his name may dwell there:

12 Monkae sɛ na moyɛ nkoa wɔ Misraim enti monhwɛ yiye na munni saa mmara yi nyinaa so.

And thou shalt remember that thou wast a servant in Egypt: and thou shalt keep and do the things that are commanded.

13 Sɛ moboaboa mo awiporowbea ne mo nsakyi amoa mu ade ano wie a, momfa nnanson nni Asese Afahyɛ no.

Thou shalt celebrate the solemnity also of tabernacles seven days, when thou hast gathered in thy fruit of the barnfloor and of the winepress.

14 Munnye mo ani wɔ mo afahyɛ yi se; mo ne mo abusuafo, mo asomfo ne Lewifo, ahɔho, nyisaa ne akunafo a wofi mo nkurow mu.

And thou shalt make merry in thy festival time, thou, thy son, and thy daughter, thy manservant, and thy maidservant, the Levite also and the stranger, and the fatherless and the widow that are within thy gates.

15 Momfa nnanson nni saa afahyɛ yi mfa nhyɛ Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn no, anuonyam wɔ faako a ɔbɛpaw, efisɛ Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn no, na ɔma mo nnɔbae bɔ pii na ohyira mo nnwuma nyinaa so; na mo anigye bewie pɛyɛ.

Seven days shalt thou celebrate feasts to the Lord thy God in the place which the Lord shall choose: and the Lord thy God will bless thee in all thy fruits, and in every work of thy hands, and thou shalt be in joy.

16 Afe biara mu no, ɛsɛ sɛ mo mmarima no nyinaa hyia wɔ mo Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn no, anim faako a ɔbɛpaw no mprɛnsa de ama Apiti Afahyɛ, Otwabere Afahyɛ ne Asese Afahyɛ no. Ɛnsɛ sɛ obiara ba Awurade anim nsapan.

Three times in a year shall all thy males appear before the Lord thy God in the place which he shall choose: in the feast of unleavened bread, in the feast of weeks, and in the feast of tabernacles. No one shall appear with his hands empty before the Lord:

17 Ɛsɛ sɛ obiara de akyɛde a ɛne nhyira a Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn no, nhyira no no sɛ ba.

But every one shall offer according to what he hath, according to the blessing of the Lord his God, which he shall give him.

18 Munsisi atemmufo ne mpanyimfo mfi mo mmusuakuw biara mu wɔ nkurow a Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn no, de rema mo no mu, na wobebu nnipa no atɛntrenee.

Thou shalt appoint judges and magistrates in all thy gates, which the Lord thy God shall give thee, in all thy tribes: that they may judge the people with just judgment,

19 Mummmu ntɛnkyew anaa monnhwɛ nnipa anim mmu atɛn. Monnnye adanmude, efisɛ adanmude fura onyansafo ani ma ɔdan nea odi bem no asɛm ani.

And not go aside to either part. Thou shalt not accept person nor gifts: for gifts blind the eyes of the wise, and change the words of the just.

20 Mummu atɛntrenee nkutoo, na ama moatumi atena asase a Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn no, de rema mo no so.

Thou shalt follow justly after that which is just: that thou mayst live and possess the land, which the Lord thy God shall give thee.

21 Mummfi afɔremuka a mubesi ama Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn no, akyi nsi abosonnua foforo biara,

Thou shalt plant no grove, nor any tree near the altar of the Lord thy God:

22 na munnsi ɔbo kronkron, efisɛ Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn no, kyi eyinom.

Neither shalt thou make nor set up to thyself a statue: which things the Lord thy God hateth.
