5 Mose 4

1 Afei, Israel, muntie mmara ne nhyehyɛe a merebɛkyerɛkyerɛ mo yi. Munni so na moanya nkwa, na moatumi akɔ asase a Awurade, mo agyanom Nyankopɔn, de rema mo no so akɔtena hɔ.

And now, thou Israel, here the comaundementis and domes whiche Y teche thee, that thou do tho, and lyue, and that thow entre and welde the lond which the Lord God of youre fadris schal yyue to you.

2 Mommfa bi nka ho, na munnyi biribiara nso mmfi ahyɛde a Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn, de ama me se memfa mma mo no mu, na mmom munni so.

Ye schulen not adde to the word which Y speke to you, nether ye schulen take awei `fro it; kepe ye the comaundementis of youre Lord God, which Y comaunde to you.

3 Mode mo ani huu nea Awurade yɛɛ mo wɔ Baal-Peor no. Ɔsɛee onipa biara a na ɔsom Baal-Peor no.

Youre iyen sien alle thingis whiche the Lord dide ayens Belphegor; how he alto brak alle the worschiperis `of hym fro the myddis of you.

4 Nanso wɔn a na wodi Awurade mo Nyankopɔn nokware nyinaa da so te ase besi nnɛ.

Forsothe ye that cleuen to youre Lord God lyuen alle `til in to present day.

5 Sɛ mudu asase a mobɛtena so no so a, eyinom ne mmara ne ahyɛde a makyerɛkyerɛ mo a ɛsɛ sɛ mudi so. Efi Awurade, yɛn Nyankopɔn, nkyɛn. Ɔde ama me se memfa mma mo.

Ye witen that Y tauyte you the comaundementis and riytfulnessis, as my Lord God comaundide to me; so ye schulen do tho in the lond whiche ye schulen welde,

6 Sɛ mudi so a, ɛbɛda mo nyansa ne ntease a mowɔ no adi akyerɛ aman a wɔbɛte saa ahyɛde yi nyinaa no na wɔaka se, “Ampa, nnipa yi yɛ ɔman kɛse a wonim nyansa na wɔwɔ ntease.”

and ye schulen kepe, and schulen fille in werk. For this is youre wisdom and vndurstondyng bifor puplis, that alle men here these comaundementis, and seie, Lo! a wise puple and vnderstondynge! a greet folk!

7 Ɔman kɛse bɛn na ɔwɔ onyame a ɔbɛn wɔn pɛɛ te sɛ Awurade, yɛn Nyankopɔn, a yɛfrɛ no a ogye yɛn so yi?

Noon other nacioun is so greet, `not in noumbre ether in bodili quantite, but in dignite, that hath Goddis neiyynge to it silf, as oure God is redi to alle oure bisechyngis.

8 Na ɔman kɛse bɛn na ɛwɔ trenee ahyɛde ne mmara sɛ saa mmara yi a mede rema mo nnɛ yi?

For whi what other folk is so noble, that it hath cerymonyes and iust domes, and al the lawe which Y schal `sette forth to dai bifor youre iyen?

9 Monhwɛ yiye, na mo ani nna hɔ yiye pa ara na nna dodow a mote nkwa mu no, mo werɛ amfi nea moahu, anaa ampa amfi mo koma mu. Monkyerɛkyerɛ mo mma na awo ntoatoaso a ɛbɛba no nhu.

Therfor kepe thi silf, and thi soule bisili; foryete thou not the wordis whiche thin iyen sien, and falle tho not doun fro thin herte, in alle the daies of thi lijf. Thou schalt teche tho thi sones and thi sones sones.

10 Ka kyerɛ wɔn, ne titiriw no, da a mokogyinaa Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn, anim wɔ bepɔw Horeb so a ɔka kyerɛɛ me se, “Frɛ nnipa no wɔ mʼanim na wontie me nsɛm na wɔasua sɛnea wobedi me ni bere dodow a wɔte asase no so na ama wɔatumi akyerɛkyerɛ wɔn mma.”

Telle thou the day in which thou stodist bifor thi Lord God in Oreb, whanne the Lord spak to me, and seide, Gadere thou the puple to me, that it here my wordis, and lerne for to drede me in al tyme in which it lyueth in erthe, and teche hise sones.

11 Mubegyina bɛnee bepɔw no ase bere a na bepɔw no rehyew na ogyaframa no retu kɔ ɔsoro a omununkum ne esum kabii aduru no.

And ye neiyiden to the `roote of the hille, that brente `til to heuene; and derknessis, and cloude, and myist weren therynne.

12 Na Awurade kasa fii ogya no mu kyerɛɛ mo. Motee nsɛm no nanso, moanhu no, nne kɛkɛ na ɛbae.

And the Lord spak to you fro the myddis of fier; ye herden the vois of hise wordis, and outirli ye sien no fourme.

13 Ɔdaa nʼapam a ɔkyerɛɛ mo sɛ munni so no adi; Mmaransɛm du a ɔkyerɛw guu abo pon abien so no.

And he schewide to you his couenaunt, which he comaundide, that ye schulden do, and `he schewide ten wordis, whiche he wroot in two tablis of stoon.

14 Saa bere no na Awurade kyerɛɛ me sɛ menkyerɛkyerɛ mo ahyɛde ne mmara a ɛsɛ sɛ mudi so wɔ asase a morebetwa Yordan akɔfa no so.

And he comaundide to me in that tyme, that Y schulde teche you cerymonyes and domes, whiche ye owen to do in the lond whiche ye schulen welde.

15 Da a Awurade kasa fii ogya mu kyerɛɛ mo wɔ bepɔw Horeb so no moanhu no. Enti monhwɛ mo akwan yiye,

Therfor kepe ye bisili youre soulis; ye sien not ony licnesse in the dai in which the Lord spak to you in Oreb, fro the myddis of the fier;

16 na porɔwee annidi mo amma moanyɛ ɔbosom, ohoni bi sɛso; sɛ ɛyɛ ɔbarima anaa ɔbea sɛso,

lest perauenture ye be disseyued and make to you a grauun licnesse, ether an ymage of male, ether of female;

17 anaa nea ɛsɛ asase so aboa bi, anaa anomaa a otu fa wim,

a licnesse of alle beestis that ben on erthe, ether of bridis fleynge vndur heuene,

18 anaa nea ɛsɛ aboa bi a ɔwea wɔ fam anaa apataa bi a ɔwɔ nsu ase.

and of crepynge beestis that ben moued in erthe, ether of fischis that dwellen vndur the erthe in watris; lest perauenture,

19 Na sɛ mohwɛ wim na muhu owia, ɔsram ne nsoromma, wim abɔde nyinaa a, momma ɛnntwetwe mo mma monnkotow nsom nneɛma a Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn, de ama ɔsoro ase aman no nyinaa no.

whanne thin iyen ben reisid to heuene, thou se the sonne, and moone, and alle the sterris of heuene, and be disseyued bi errour, and worschipe tho, `bi outermer reuerence, and onour, `bi ynner reuerence, `tho thingis whiche thi Lord God made of nouyt, in to seruyce to alle folkis that ben vndur heuene.

20 Na mo de, Awurade yii mo fii ogya framfram a ɛnan dade mu wɔ Misraim sɛ mommɛyɛ nʼadiadefo sɛnea mote nnɛ yi.

Forsothe the Lord took you, and ledde out of the yrun furneys of Egipt, that he schulde haue a puple of eritage, as it is in `present dai.

21 Mo nti, Awurade bo fuw me yiye. Ɔkaa ntam se, merentwa Asubɔnten Yordan nkɔ asase pa a Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn, de rema mo sɛ mo agyapade no so.

And the Lord was wrooth ayens me for youre wordis, and swoor that Y schulde not passe Jordan, and schulde not entre in to the beeste lond, which he schal yyue to you.

22 Mewu wɔ asase yi so; merentwa Yordan; nanso morebetwa akɔfa asase pa no.

Lo! Y die in this erthe; Y schal not passe Jordan; ye schulen passe, and schulen welde the noble lond.

23 Monhwɛ yiye na moammu apam a Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn, ne mo ayɛ no so. Monyɛ abosom a ɛyɛ biribiara nsɛso a mo Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn, abra mo no.

Be thou war, lest ony tyme thou foryete the couenaunt of thi Lord God, which he made with thee, and lest thou make to thee a grauun licness of tho thingis whiche the Lord forbeed to make.

24 Efisɛ Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn no, yɛ Onyame ninkufo, ogya a ɔhyew ade.

For thi Lord God is fier wastynge; `God, a feruent louyere.

25 Moawowo mma anya nananom akyi no na moatena asase no so akyɛ no, sɛ moma porɔwee didi mo na moyɛ ohoni bi nam so yɛ bɔne wɔ Awurade mo Nyankopɔn ani so hyɛ no abufuw a,

If ye gendren sones, and sones of sones, and ye dwellen in the lond, and ye be disceyued, and make to you ony licnesse, and doen yuel bifor youre Lord God, that ye terren hym to greet wrathe,

26 mefrɛ ɔsoro ne asase sɛ nnansefo de tia mo saa da yi sɛ, mobɛhyew afi asase a moretwa Yordan akɔfa no so. Morentena hɔ nkyɛ na wɔbɛsɛe mo ampa.

Y clepe witnesses to dai heuene and erthe, `that is, ech resonable creature beynge in heuene and in erthe, that ye schulen perische soone fro the lond, which ye schulen welde, whanne ye han passid Jordan; ye schulen not dwelle long tyme therynne, but the Lord schal do awey you,

27 Na Awurade bɛbɔ mo apansam akɔ aman so a mo mu kakraa bi na ɛbɛka wɔ aman a Awuradebɛpam mo akɔ so no so.

and schal scatere `in to alle hethen men, and ye schulen leeue fewe among naciouns, to whiche the Lord schal lede you.

28 Ɛhɔ na mobɛsom onipa nsa ano ahoni a wɔde nnua ne abo na ayɛ, anyame a wonhu ade na wɔnte asɛm na wonnidi nte hua no.

And there ye schulen serue to goddis, that ben maad bi `the hond of men, to a tre and a stoon, that `seen not, nether heren, nether eten, nether smellen.

29 Ɛhɔ na mobɛpere bio ahwehwɛ Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn no. Na sɛ mode mo koma ne mo kra nyinaa hwehwɛ no a, mubehu no.

And whanne thou hast souyt there thi Lord God, thou schalt fynde hym; if netheles thou sekist with al the herte, and with al the tribulacioun of thi soule.

30 Sɛ ɔhaw bi to mo na eyinom nyinaa ba mo so a, akyiri no, mobɛsan akɔ Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn no, nkyɛn na moayɛ osetie ama no.

Aftir that alle thingis han founde thee, that ben biforseid, forsothe in the laste tyme, thou schalt turne ayen to thi Lord God, and thou schalt here his vois.

31 Efisɛ Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn, no yɛ mmɔborɔhunu Nyankopɔn; ɔrennyaw mo na ɔrensɛe mo anaa ne werɛ remfi apam a ɔne mo agyanom pamee a ɔkaa ntam sii so no.

For thi Lord God is merciful God; he schal not forsake thee, nethir he schal do awey outirli, nethir he schal foryete the couenaunt, in which he swoor to thi fadris.

32 Hwehwɛ abakɔsɛm mu fi bere a Onyankopɔn bɔɔ nnipa wɔ asase so besi nnɛ yi; hwehwɛ fi ɔsoro ti de kosi ti. Hwɛ sɛ biribi kɛse a ɛte sɛ eyi asi pɛn anaasɛ woate biribi saa pɛn?

Axe thou of elde daies that weren bifor thee, fro the day in which thi Lord God made of nouyt man on erthe, axe thou fro that oon ende of heuene `til to the tother ende therof, if sich a thing was doon ony tyme, ether if it was euere knowun,

33 So nnipa foforo bi ate Onyankopɔn nne sɛ ɔrekasa afi ogya mu sɛnea motee no na wɔda so te ase yi ana?

34 So onyame foforo bi nam ogye a ɔnam amanehunu, nsɛnkyerɛnne a ɛyɛ nwonwa, ɔko, tumidi ne ahodwiriwde so agye ɔman bi afi ɔman foforo bi nsam afa sɛ ne de, sɛnea Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn, yɛ maa mo wɔ Misraim a na mo ani tua no?

if God `dide, that he entride, and took to him silf a folc fro the middis of naciouns, bi temptaciouns, myraclis, and grete wondris, bi batel, and strong hond, and arm holdun forth, and orrible siytis, bi alle thingis whiche youre Lord God dide for you in Egipt, `while thin iyen sien;

35 Ɔdaa eyinom nyinaa adi kyerɛɛ mo sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a mubehu sɛ Awurade yɛ Onyankopɔn a nʼakyi obi nni hɔ.

that thou schuldist wite, that the Lord hym silf is God, and noon other is, outakun oon.

36 Ɔma motee ne nne fi ɔsoro nam so teɛteɛɛ mo so. Ɔma muhuu ne gya fadum asase so na motee ne nsɛm fii ogya no mu.

Fro heuene he made thee to here his vois, that he schulde teche thee; and in erthe he schewide to thee his grettiste fier, and thou herdist the wordis `of hym fro the myddis of the fier;

37 Esiane sɛ na ɔpɛ mo agyanom asɛm, na ɔpɛɛ sɛ ohyira wɔn asefo nti na ɔno ara de nʼanim ne ne tumi kɛse no yii mo fii Misraim no.

for he louyde thi fadris, and chees her seed aftir hem. And he ledde thee out of Egipt, and yede bifore in his greet vertu,

38 Ɔpam aman a na wɔn ho yɛ den sen mo no wɔ mo anim sɛnea ɔde mo bɛba wɔn asase so abɛfa sɛ mo agyapade, sɛnea ɛte nnɛ yi.

that he schulde do awei grettiste naciouns, and strongere than thou, in thin entryng, and that he schulde lede thee ynne, and schulde yyue to thee the lond `of hem in to possessioun, as thou seest in `present day.

39 Enti munhu na momma ɛntena mo koma mu nnɛ yi sɛ Awurade yɛ Onyankopɔn wɔ ɔsoro ne asase so. Obi nni hɔ.

Therfor wite thou to dai, and thenke in thin herte, that the Lord him silfe is God in heuene aboue, and in erthe bynethe, and noon other is.

40 Munni saa ahyɛde ne mmara yi a mede rema mo nnɛ no so na ama asi mo ne mo mma yiye, na moanyin akyɛ wɔ asase a Awurade mo Nyankopɔn de rema mo afebɔɔ no so.

Kepe thou hise heestis, and comaundementis, whiche Y comaunde to thee, that it be wel to thee, and to thi sones after thee, and that thou dwelle mych tyme on the lond, which thi Lord God schal yyue to thee.

41 Afei, Mose yii nkuropɔn abiɛsa bi wɔ Yordan apuei fam

43 Oyii Beser a ɛda sare ne asase tataw so no maa Rubenfo. Ɔde Ramot a ɛwɔ Gilead no maa Gadfo na ɔde Golan a ɛwɔ Basan no nso maa Manase abusuakuw.

44 Eyinom ne mmara a Mose de maa Israelfo no.

This is the lawe which Moises `settide forth bifor the sones of Israel,

and these ben the witnessyngis, and cerymonyes, and domes, whiche he spak to the sones of Israel, whanne thei yeden out of Egipt,
