5 Mose 30
1 Sɛ nhyira ne nnome a mede ato mo anim no nyinaa ba mo so, na mode hyɛ mo koma mu wɔ baabiara a Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn no, bɛfa mo akɔ, wɔ aman no mu,
One day after you experience all this, the blessings and curses I've told you about, you'll think about them, living in all the different nations where the Lord your God has exiled you.
2 na mo ne mo mma san ba Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn no, nkyɛn, na mode mo koma ne mo kra nyinaa yɛ osetie ma no sɛnea merekyerɛ mo nnɛ yi a,
When that happens, and when you and your children come back to the Lord your God, and when you do what he says with all your mind and all your being in accordance with everything I'm telling you today, then the Lord your God will be merciful to you.
3 ɛno de, Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn no, de mo siade bɛma mo, na wahu mo mmɔbɔ, na waboaboa mo ano bio afi amanaman a ɔbɔɔ mo hwete kɔɔ so no nyinaa so, asan de mo aba.
He will bring you back home, gathering you from all the nations where he scattered you.
4 Sɛ mpo, wɔapam mo kɔ akyirikyiri asase bi a ɛwɔ ɔsoro ase a, efi hɔ no, Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn no, bɛboaboa mo ano asan de mo aba.
Even if you were exiled to the ends of the earth, will gather you from there and bring you back.
5 Ɔde mo bɛba asase a ɛyɛ mo agyanom de no so na moafa sɛ agyapade. Ɔbɛma mo adi yiye na moadɔɔso asen mo agyanom.
The Lord your God will bring you home to the country that belonged to your forefathers and you will own it again. He will make you successful, and you will have even more descendants than your forefathers.
6 Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn no, beyi fi a ɛwɔ mo ne mo asefo koma mu no sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a mode mo koma ne mo kra nyinaa bɛdɔ no na moanya nkwa.
The Lord your God will make you and your descendants his again, and you will love him with all your mind and with all your being, so that you'll live.
7 Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn no, de saa nnome yi nyinaa begu mo atamfo a wɔtaa mo no so.
Then the Lord your God will place all these curses upon your enemies instead, on those who hate and persecute you.
8 Mobɛsan atie, adi Awurade ahyɛde a mede rema mo nnɛ no nyinaa so.
You will once again do what the Lord tells you and follow all his commandments that I'm giving you today.
9 Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn no, bɛma biribiara a moyɛ no asi mo yiye. Ɔbɛma mo yafunu mu aba asi yiye pii. Mo nyɛmmoa bɛdɔɔso. Na mo mfuw mu nnɔbae nso bebu so, efisɛ Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn no, ani begye sɛ ɔbɛma mo adi yiye sɛnea na ɔyɛ mo agyanom no.
The Lord your God will make you successful in everything you do, you will have children, your livestock will be productive, and you will have good harvests. The Lord will once again be happy to do you good, as he did to your forefathers,
10 Sɛ mutie Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn no, nne, na mudi nʼahyɛde ne ne mmara a wɔakyerɛw wɔ saa Mmara Nhoma no mu no so, na mode mo koma ne mo kra dɔ no a, nʼani begye mo yiyedi ho.
if you obey the Lord your God by keeping his commandments and regulations written in this book of the Law, and if you come back to him with all your mind and with all your being.
11 Nokware, saa mmara a merehyɛ ama mo nnɛ yi sodi nyɛ den na ɛnyɛ ade a morentumi nyɛ nso.
The instruction I'm giving you today isn't too difficult for you to follow. It's not as if it's so far from you that it's impossible to achieve.
12 Enni ɔsoro a enti mobɛka se, “Hena na ɔbɛkɔ ɔsoro ama yɛn na wakogye abrɛ yɛn, na yɛate adi so?”
It's not in heaven so you have to ask, “Who is going to go up to heaven get it for us and let us know what it says so we can obey it?”
13 Saa ara nso na enni po agya a enti mobɛka se, “Hena na obetwa akɔ ɛpo fa nohɔ ama yɛn na wakogye abrɛ yɛn, na yɛate adi so?”
It's not across the ocean not beyond the sea so you have to ask, “Who is going to cross the ocean to get it for us and let us know what it says so we can obey it?”
14 Dabi, asɛm no abɛn wo. Ɛda wʼano na ɛwɔ wo koma mu sɛ mudi so.
No—you have this instruction is right there with you. It's in your mouth and in your mind so you can obey it.
15 Muntie, nnɛ, mede nkwa ne yiyedi, owu ne ɔsɛe asi mo anim.
Listen! Today I've placed a choice before you: life and what's good, or death and what's evil.
16 Na Sɛ mutie Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn no, mmara a merehyɛ ama mo nnɛ yi, nam so dɔ Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn, nantew nʼakwan mu, di ne mmara so a, mubenya nkwa na mo ase adɔ, na Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn behyira mo wɔ asase a morekɔ akɔtena so no so.
I'm telling you today to love the Lord your God, to follow his ways, and to keep his commandments, rules, and regulations, so you can live and grow in number, and so the Lord your God may bless you in the country that you are entering and will own.
17 Nanso sɛ mo koma dan, sɛ moanyɛ osetie, na sɛ wɔtwe mo kɔkotow anyame afoforo, na mosom wɔn a,
If you disregard this and you refuse to listen, if you're lured into bowing down to other gods and worshiping them,
18 mepae mu ka kyerɛ mo nnɛ sɛ, nea ɛte biara no wɔbɛsɛe mo; morentena asase a moretwa Yordan akɔ so akɔfa sɛ agyapade no so nkyɛ.
then I warn you right now that you will definitely die. You won't live long in the country that you're going to own after you cross the Jordan.
19 Nnɛ mede nkwa ne owu, nhyira ne nnome, asi mo anim sɛ munyi nea mopɛ. Mefrɛ ɔsoro ne asase sɛ nnansefo. Momfa nkwa sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a mo ne mo asefo benya nkwa!
I call on heaven and earth to be my witnesses against you today that I have placed before you life and death, blessings and curses. Choose life, so you and your descendants will live,
20 Monnɔ Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn no, monyɛ osetie mma no, na momfa mo ho mma no, efisɛ ɔno ne mo nkwa. Ɛno na mobɛtena ase akyɛ wɔ asase a Awurade kaa ntam sɛ ɔde bɛma mo tete agyanom; Abraham, Isak ne Yakob no.
so you will love the Lord your God, obey him, and hold onto him. For he is your life, and he will give you long lives in the country that the Lord promised to give your forefathers, to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
