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 this is the commandment, the statutes, and the ordinances, which the LORD your God commanded to teach you, that you might do them in the land where you go over 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, Israel, and observe to do it; that it may be well with you, and that you may increase mightily, as the LORD, the God of your fathers, has promised to you, in a land flowing with milk and honey.

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

Hear, Israel: the LORD is our God, the LORD is one.

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 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.

These words, which I command you this day, shall be on 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 to 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.

You shall bind them for a sign on your hand, and they shall be for symbols between your eyes.

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

You shall write them on the door 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,

It shall be, when the LORD your God shall bring you into the land which he swore to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give you, great and goodly cities, which you did not build,

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 did not fill, and cisterns dug out, which you did not dig, vineyards and olive trees, which you did not plant, and you shall eat 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, who brought you forth out of the land of Egypt, out of 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 you shall serve him only, and you shall cling to him, and take oaths by his name.

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

You shall not go after other gods, of the gods of the peoples who are around 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 in the midst of you is a jealous God; lest the anger of the LORD your God be kindled against you, and he destroy you from off the face of the earth.

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

Do not test the LORD your God, as you tested him at Massah.

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

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,

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 to your fathers,

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

to thrust out all 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?”

When your son asks you in time to come, saying, "What do the testimonies, the statutes, and the ordinances, which the LORD our God has commanded you mean?"

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

then you shall tell your son, "We were Pharaoh's bondservants 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 great and awesome signs and wonders on Egypt, on Pharaoh, and on all his house, 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 there, that he might bring us in, to give us the land which he swore to 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.

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 at this day.

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

It shall be righteousness to us, if we observe to do all this commandment before the LORD our God, as he has commanded us."
