“E ʻikai maʻu ʻe he kau taulaʻeiki ko e kau Livai, pea mo e faʻahinga kotoa pē ʻo Livai, ha tufakanga pe ha tofiʻa fakataha mo ʻIsileli: tenau kai ʻae ngaahi feilaulau kuo ngaohi ʻaki ʻae afi kia Sihova, mo hono tofiʻa ʻoʻona.
2 Israelfo mu de, wɔrennya agyapade biara sɛ wɔn ankasa kyɛfa. Awurade ankasa bɛyɛ wɔn kyɛfa sɛnea ɔhyɛɛ wɔn bɔ no.
Ko ia ʻe ʻikai tenau maʻu ai ha tofiʻa mo honau ngaahi kāinga: ko Sihova ko honau tofiʻa ʻo hangē ko ʻene folofola kiate kinautolu.
3 Eyi ne kyɛfa a asɔfo no benya afi nantwi ne oguan a nnipa no de bɛbɔ afɔre no mu: ne mmati, nʼabogye ne nʼayamde.
“Pea ko hono ʻinasi eni ʻoe taulaʻeiki mei he kakai, meiate kinautolu ʻoku ʻatu ha feilaulau, kapau ko e pulu pe ko e sipi; pea tenau ʻatu ki he taulaʻeiki hono alanga muʻa, mo hono kouʻahe fakatouʻosi pe, mo e kete.
4 Afei, momma wɔn mo atokokan mu ade, nsa foforo ne ngo ne nwi a edi kan a wotwitwa fi mo nguan ho no.
Ko e ʻuluaki fua ʻo hoʻo uite, mo hoʻo uaine, pea mo hoʻo lolo foki, mo e ʻuluaki fulufuluʻi sipi kuo kosi, ke ke ʻatu kiate ia.
5 Efisɛ Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn no, apaw Lewifo ne wɔn asefo afi mo mmusuakuw nyinaa mu sɛ wonnyina, nsom daa wɔ Awurade din mu.
He kuo fili ia ʻe Sihova ko ho ʻOtua mei ho ngaahi faʻahinga kotoa pē, ke tuʻu mo tauhi ʻi he huafa ʻo Sihova, ʻaia mo hono ngaahi foha ke taʻengata.
6 Sɛ Lewini bi pɛ na ofi mo nkurow no mu biara a ɔte so wɔ Israel kɔ baabi a Awurade ayi a,
“Pea kapau ʻe haʻu ha Livai mei ha kolo ʻe taha ʻi ʻIsileli kotoa pē, ʻaia naʻe nofo ʻāunofo ai ia, pea haʻu ia ʻi he holi lahi ʻa hono loto ki he potu ʻaia ʻe fili ʻe Sihova;

ʻE toki tauhi ʻe ia ʻi he huafa ʻo Sihova ko hono ʻOtua, ʻo hangē ko hono kāinga kotoa pē ʻi he kau Livai, ʻakinautolu ʻoku tuʻu ʻi he ʻao ʻo Sihova.
8 Sɛ mpo wanya sika bi afi abusua agyapade bi tɔn mu a, wɔde ne kyɛfa a ɛwɔ afɔrebɔde no mu sɛ Lewini no bɛma no sɛ asɛde.
Tenau ʻinasi tatau pe ʻi he meʻakai, neongo ʻa ʻene meʻa ʻaʻana ʻaia ʻoku tupu ʻi he fakatau ʻa hono tofiʻa.
9 Sɛ munya du asase a Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn no, de rema mo no so a, monhwɛ yiye na moansua amanaman a ɛwɔ hɔ no amanne a ɛyɛ akyiwade no.
“ʻOka ke ka hoko atu ki he fonua ʻaia ʻoku foaki kiate koe ʻe Sihova ko ho ʻOtua, ʻoua naʻa ke ako ke fai ʻo hangē ko e ngaahi meʻa fakalielia ʻoe ngaahi kakai ko ia.
10 Mommma wonhu sɛ mo mu bi de ne babarima anaa ne babea abɔ ɔhyew afɔre. Na mommma mo nnipa no nyɛ akɔmfo a wɔhyɛ abosom nkɔm, abayifo ne abisakɔfo, ne ntafowayifo
ʻOua naʻa ʻilo ha tokotaha ʻiate kimoutolu ʻoku tuku ʻa hono foha pe ko hono ʻofefine ke ʻalu atu ʻi he afi, pe ʻoku fai ʻae tuki, pe ʻoku tokanga ki he ngaahi kuonga, pe ko e fai meʻa mana loi, pe ko e taula fakafaʻahikehe.
11 ne nkaberekyerefo ne samanfrɛfo, osumanni a ɔfrɛ ɔsaman.
Pe ko e tokotaha ʻoku kākā, pe kumi ki he laumālie kovi, pe ko e fieʻiloʻilo, pe ko ia ʻoku kumi ki he mate.
12 Obiara a ɔyɛ saa ade yi bi no yɛ Awurade akyiwade na saa akyiwade yi nti na Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn no, bɛpam saa aman no afi mo anim.

15 Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn no, beyi odiyifo a ɔte sɛ me afi mo Israelfo yi ara mu. Ɛsɛ sɛ moyɛ osetie ma no.
“ʻE fokotuʻu ʻe Sihova ko ho ʻOtua ha palōfita kiate koe, ʻi ho ngaahi kāinga, ʻo hangē ko au; ke mou tokanga kiate ia;
16 Eyi ne nea mo ankasa mobisaa Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn no, bere a muhyiaa wɔ Horeb no. Mosrɛɛ sɛ mompɛ sɛ mote Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn no, nne anaa muhu ogyaframa bio, efisɛ musuro sɛ anhwɛ a, mubewuwu.
ʻO fakatatau ki he meʻa kotoa pē naʻa ke holi ki ai kia Sihova ko ho ʻOtua ʻi Holepi ʻi he ʻaho ʻoe fakataha, ʻo pehē, ʻoua naʻaku toe ongoʻi ʻae leʻo ʻo Sihova ko hoku ʻOtua, pea ʻoua naʻaku toe mamata ki he afi lahi ni, telia naʻaku mate.
17 Na Awurade buae se, “Mɛyɛ wɔn abisade ama wɔn.
Pea naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kiate au, ‘ʻOku lelei ʻaia kuo nau lea ki ai.
18 Mɛda odiyifo te sɛ wo adi afi wɔn nkurɔfo Israelfo mu. Mede me nsɛm bɛhyɛ nʼanom, na ɔbɛka biribiara a mɛhyɛ wɔn no akyerɛ wɔn.

20 Na odiyifo biara bɛpatuw aka nea menhyɛe, anaa ɔnam onyame foforo bi din so ka asɛm no, ɛsɛ sɛ wokum no.”
Ka ko e palōfita ko ia, ʻaia ʻoku fielahi pea lea ia ʻi hoku huafa, ʻaia naʻe ʻikai te u fekau kiate ia ke lea, pe lea ia ʻi he hingoa ʻoe ngaahi ʻotua kehe, ʻe tāmateʻi ʻae palōfita ko ia.’
21 Mubebisa mo ho se, “Ɛbɛyɛ dɛn na yɛahu sɛ adiyisɛm no fi Awurade anaasɛ emfi no?”
Pea kapau ʻoku ke pehē ʻi ho loto, Te mau ʻilo fēfeeʻi ʻae lea ʻaia naʻe ʻikai folofolaʻaki ʻe Sihova?
22 Sɛ odiyifo no hyɛ nkɔm wɔ Awurade din mu na amma mu a, na ɛnyɛ Awurade na ɔde asɛm no mae. Na ɛkyerɛ sɛ, saa odiyifo no ara kaa ɔno ankasa nʼasɛm bi kwa enti ɛnsɛ sɛ musuro.
ʻOka lea ʻae palōfita ʻi he huafa ʻo Sihova, ka ʻoku ʻikai muimui hano fakamoʻoni pe hoko ia, ko eni ʻae meʻa naʻe ʻikai folofolaʻaki ʻe Sihova, ka kuo lea fielahi ʻaki ia ʻe he palōfita: ʻe ʻikai te ke manavahē kiate ia.
