5 Mose 27

1 Mose ne Israel mpanyimfo hyɛɛ ɔmanfo no se, “Munni mmara a mede rema mo nnɛ yi nyinaa so.

Moses and the elders of Israel commanded the people, saying, "Keep all the commandment which I command you this day.

2 Sɛ mutwa Yordan kodu asase a Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn no, de rema mo no so a, monhyehyɛ abo akɛse na momfa akaadoo nsra ho.

It shall be on the day when you shall pass over the Jordan to the land which the LORD your God gives you, that you shall set yourself up great stones, and plaster them with plaster:

3 Sɛ mutwa Yordan kɔ asase a Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn no, de rema mo no so, asase a ɛwo ne nufusu resen so no so a, monkyerɛw mmara no nyinaa ngu so sɛnea Awurade, mo agyanom Nyankopɔn, hyɛɛ mo bɔ no.

and you shall write on them all the words of this law, when you have passed over; that you may go in to the land which the LORD your God gives you, a land flowing with milk and honey, as the LORD, the God of your fathers, has promised you.

4 Na sɛ mutwa Yordan a, monhyehyɛ abo yi wɔ Ebal bepɔw so sɛnea merehyɛ mo nnɛ yi na momfa akaadoo nsra ho.

It shall be, when you have passed over the Jordan, that you shall set up these stones, which I command you this day, in Mount Ebal, and you shall plaster them with plaster.

5 Munsi afɔremuka, abo afɔremuka wɔ hɔ mma Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn no. Mommfa dade biribiara nka.

There you shall build an altar to the LORD your God, an altar of stones: you shall lift up no iron on them.

6 Momfa abo amuamu nsi Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn no, afɔremuka no na mommɔ ɔhyew afɔre wɔ so mma Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn no.

You shall build the altar of the LORD your God of uncut stones; and you shall offer burnt offerings thereon to the LORD your God:

7 Mommɔ asomdwoe afɔre nso wɔ so na momfa anigye nnidi wɔ hɔ wɔ Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn no, anim.

and you shall sacrifice peace offerings, and shall eat there; and you shall rejoice before the LORD your God.

8 Monkyerɛw mmara no mu nhyehyɛe nyinaa pɛpɛɛpɛ ngu abo a wɔde akaadoo asra ho no so.”

You shall write on the stones all the words of this law very plainly."

9 Afei, Mose ne Lewifo asɔfo kasa kyerɛɛ Israelfo no se, “Israel, monyɛ komm na muntie! Nnɛ, moabɛyɛ Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn no, manfo.

Moses and the cohanim the Levites spoke to all Israel, saying, "Keep silence, and listen, Israel: this day you have become the people of the LORD your God.

10 Monyɛ osetie mma Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn no, na munni ne mmara ne nʼahyɛde a mede rema mo nnɛ yi so.”

You shall therefore obey the voice of the LORD your God, and do his commandments and his statutes, which I command you this day."

11 Saa da no ara, Mose hyɛɛ ɔmanfo no se:

Moses commanded the people the same day, saying,

12 Sɛ mutwa Asubɔnten Yordan a Simeon, Lewi, Yuda, Isakar, Yosef ne Benyamin mmusuakuw na wonnyina Gerisim bepɔw so nhyira ɔman no.

"These shall stand on Mount Gerizim to bless the people, when you have passed over the Jordan: Simeon, and Levi, and Judah, and Issachar, and Joseph, and Benjamin.
