5 Mose 6

1 Eyinom ne ahyɛde, mmara ne nhyehyɛe a Awurade mo Nyankopɔn ka kyerɛɛ me se menkyerɛkyerɛ mo na munni so wɔ asase a moretwa Yordan akɔfa no so,

Now these are the commandments, the statutes, and the judgments, which the LORD your God commanded to teach you, that all of you might do them in the land where all of you go to possess it:

2 sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a mo mma ne wɔn mma besuro Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn, mmere dodow a mote ase no, na moadi ne mmara ne nʼahyɛde a mede ma mo no nyinaa so nyinaa so a mo nkwanna aware.

That you might fear the LORD your God, to keep all his statutes and his commandments, which I command you, you, and your son, and your son's son, all the days of your life; and that your days may be prolonged.

3 Muntie, Ao Israel, na monhwɛ yiye nni so sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a ebesi mo yiye na mo ase atrɛw yiye wɔ asase a nufusu ne ɛwo resen wɔ so no so sɛnea Awurade, mo agyanom Nyankopɔn, hyɛɛ mo ho bɔ no.

Hear therefore, O Israel, and observe to do it; that it may be well with you, and that all of you may increase mightily, as the LORD God of your fathers has promised you, in the land that flows with milk and honey.

4 Tie, Ao Israel, Awurade yɛn Nyankopɔn yɛ Awurade koro.

Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD:

5 Dɔ Awurade wo Nyankopɔn fi wo koma nyinaa mu ne wo kra nyinaa mu ne wʼahoɔden nyinaa mu.

And you shall love the LORD your God with all of your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your might.

6 Momma saa mmaransɛm a mede rema wo nnɛ yi ntena mo koma mu.

And these words, which I command you this day, shall be in your heart:

7 Momfa nhyɛ mo mma mu. Sɛ mote fie anaa monam ɔkwan so, sɛ moda hɔ anaa mosɔre a, monka ho asɛm.

And you shall teach them diligently unto your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise up.

8 Monkyekye no sɛ agyiraehyɛde mmɔ mo nsa na momfa bi mmɔ abotiri.

And you shall bind them for a sign upon your hand, and they shall be as frontlets between your eyes.

9 Monkyerɛw ngu mo afi apongua ne mo abobow ano apon so.

And you shall write them upon the posts of your house, and on your gates.

10 Awurade mo Nyankopɔn de mo ba asase a ɔkaa ntam sɛ ɔde bɛma mo agyanom Abraham, Isak ne Yakob no, asase a nkuropɔn a ɛnyɛ mo na mokyekyeree ahyɛ so ma no so,

And it shall be, when the LORD your God shall have brought you into the land which he swore unto your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give you great and goodly cities, which you builded not,

11 afi a nneɛma pa ahorow a ɛnyɛ mo na moyɛe ahyɛ no ma, mmura a ɛnyɛ mo na mututui, bobeturo a ɛnyɛ mo na moyɛe ne ngonnua a ɛnyɛ mo na muduae no so. Sɛ mudidi mee wɔ saa asase yi so a,

And houses full of all good things, which you filled not, and wells dug, which you dug not, vineyards and olive trees, which you planted not; when you shall have eaten and be full;

12 monhwɛ yiye na mo werɛ amfi Awurade a ogyee mo fii nkoasom mu wɔ Misraim asase so no.

Then beware lest you forget the LORD, which brought you forth out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage.

13 Ɛsɛ sɛ musuro Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn, na mosom ɔno nko ara. Ne din nko ara na momfa nka ntam.

You shall fear the LORD your God, and serve him, and shall swear by his name.

14 Munnni anyame foforo akyi; anyame a wɔyɛ nnipa a wɔatwa mo ho ahyia no anyame no;

All of you shall not go after other gods, of the gods of the people which are round about you;

15 na Awurade mo Nyankopɔn a ɔwɔ mo ntam no yɛ Onyankopɔn ninkufo a nʼabufuw no bɛhyew mo, na ɔbɛsɛe mo afi asase no so.

(For the LORD your God is a jealous God among you) lest the anger of the LORD your God be kindled against you, and destroy you from off the face of the earth.

16 Monnsɔ Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn, nhwɛ sɛnea moyɛe bere a na mowɔ Masa no.

All of you shall not tempt the LORD your God, as all of you tempted him in Massah.

17 Ɛsɛ sɛ mudi Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn, ahyɛde ne nea ɛwɔ mmara a ɔde ama mo no mu no so pɛpɛɛpɛ.

All of you shall diligently keep the commandments of the LORD your God, and his testimonies, and his statutes, which he has commanded you.

18 Monyɛ de ɛteɛ na eye wɔ Awurade ani so na biribiara awie mo yiye. Na moakɔ akɔfa asase pa a Awurade hyɛɛ ho bɔ kyerɛɛ mo agyanom no,

And you shall do that which is right and good in the sight of the LORD: that it may be well with you, and that you may go in and possess the good land which the LORD swore unto your fathers.

19 na moapam atamfo a wɔwɔ mo anim no nyinaa sɛnea Awurade kae no.

To cast out all of your enemies from before you, as the LORD has spoken.

20 Daakye bi, sɛ mo mma bisa mo se, “Saa mmara ne nʼahyɛde a Awurade, yɛn Nyankopɔn, de ama mo yi ase ne dɛn?”

And when your son asks you in time to come, saying, What mean the testimonies, and the statutes, and the judgments, which the LORD our God has commanded you?

21 a monka nkyerɛ wɔn se, “Na yɛyɛ Farao nkoa wɔ Misraim nanso Awurade nam anwonwatumi so yii yɛn fii Misraim.

Then you shall say unto your son, We were Pharaoh's bondmen in Egypt; and the LORD brought us out of Egypt with a mighty hand:

22 Yɛn ani tua Awurade nsɛnkyerɛnne ne anwonwade akɛse na ɛyɛ hu a ɔyɛ tiaa Misraim, Farao ne ne nkurɔfo nyinaa.

And the LORD showed signs and wonders, great and sore, upon Egypt, upon Pharaoh, and upon all his household, before our eyes:

23 Oyii yɛn fii Misraim sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a, obetumi de asase a wahyɛ yɛn agyanom ho bɔ no ama yɛn.

And he brought us out from thence, that he might bring us in, to give us the land which he swore unto our fathers.

24 Na Awurade yɛn Nyankopɔn hyɛɛ yɛn sɛ yenni mmara no nyinaa so na yɛmfa obu ne nidi mma no sɛnea ɛbɛma asi yɛn yiye daakye sɛnea ɛte nnɛ yi.

And the LORD commanded us to do all these statutes, to fear the LORD our God, for our good always, that he might preserve us alive, as it is at this day.

25 Efisɛ sɛ yedi mmara no nyinaa a Awurade, yɛn Nyankopɔn, de ama yɛn no so a, ɛbɛyɛ yɛn trenee.”

And it shall be our righteousness, if we observe to do all these commandments before the LORD our God, as he has commanded us.
