5 Mose 8

1 Monhwɛ yiye na munni ahyɛde a merema mo nnɛ yi biara so, sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a mubenya nkwa na mo ase adɔ dɔɔso na moakɔfa asase a Awurade kaa ntam de hyɛɛ mo agyanom bɔ no atena so.

Ye shall keepe all the commandements which I command thee this day, for to doe them: that ye may liue, and be multiplied, and goe in, and possesse the land which the Lord sware vnto your fathers.

2 Monkae sɛnea Awurade mo Nyankopɔn dii mo anim faa sare so mfe aduanan, nam so brɛɛ mo ase de sɔɔ mo suban hwɛe sɛ mubedi ne mmara so anaasɛ morenni so no.

And thou shalt remember all ye way which the Lord thy God led thee this fourtie yeere in the wildernesse, for to humble thee and to proue thee, to knowe what was in thine heart, whether thou wouldest keepe his commandements or no.

3 Nokware, ɔmaa ɔkɔm dee mo nam so brɛɛ mo ase na ɔmaa mo mana, aduan a na anka mo ne mo agyanom nnii bi da, dii. Ɔyɛɛ saa de kyerɛɛ mo sɛ, ɛnyɛ aduan nko ara na ɛho hia onipa wɔ nʼasetena mu, na mmom, asɛm biara a efi Awurade anom.

Therefore he humbled thee, and made thee hungry, and fed thee with MAN, which thou knewest not, neither did thy fathers know it, that he might teache thee that man liueth not by bread onely, but by euery worde that proceedeth out of the mouth of the Lord, doth a man liue.

4 Mfe aduanan yi nyinaa mu, mo ntade antetew na mo anan ammɔ mpumpunnya na anhonhon nso.

Thy raiment waxed not olde vpon thee, neither did thy foote swell those fourtie yeeres.

5 Munhu wɔ mo koma mu sɛ, sɛnea ɔbeatan teɛ ne ba no, saa ara nso na Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn, teɛ mo de siesie mo no.

Knowe therefore in thine heart, that as a man nourtereth his sonne, so the Lord thy God nourtereth thee.

6 Munni Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn, ahyɛde so na monnantew nʼakwan so na momfa nidi mma no.

Therefore shalt thou keepe the commandements of the Lord thy God, that thou mayest walke in his wayes, and feare him.

7 Efisɛ mo Awurade de mo rekɔ asase pa so; asase a nsuten, mmura ne nsuti sen wɔ abon ne mmepɔw mu;

For the Lord thy God bringeth thee into a good land, a land in the which are riuers of water and fountaines, and depthes that spring out of valleis and mountaines:

8 asase a atoko, awi, bobe, borɔdɔma, atoaa, ngodua ne ɛwo wɔ so.

A land of wheate and barley, and of vineyards, and figtrees, and pomegranates: a land of oyle oliue and hony:

9 Ɛyɛ asase a aduan abu wɔ so a wonni biribiara ho hia wɔ so; asase a ɛso abo yɛ adaban na wobetumi atu kɔbere wɔ ne mmepɔw mu.

A land wherein thou shalt eate bread without scarcitie, neither shalt thou lacke any thing therein: a land whose stones are yron, and out of whose mountaines thou shalt digge brasse.

10 Sɛ mudidi mee a, munhyira Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn, wɔ asase pa a ɔde ama mo no nti.

And when thou hast eaten and filled thy selfe, thou shalt blesse the Lord thy God for the good land, which he hath giuen thee.

11 Na monhwɛ yiye na mo werɛ amfi Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn, sɛ morenni ne mmara ne nʼahyɛde a merehyɛ mo nnɛ yi so.

Beware that thou forget not the Lord thy God, not keeping his commandements, and his lawes, and his ordinances, which I commaund thee this day:

12 Anyɛ saa na sɛ mudidi na momee na musisi mo afi afɛfɛ, na mokɔtenatena mu

Lest when thou hast eaten and filled thy selfe, and hast built goodly houses and dwelt therein,

13 na mo anantwi ne nguan ase dɔ, na munya dwetɛ ne sika pii, na mo agyapade nyinaa dɔɔso

And thy beastes, and thy sheepe are increased, and thy siluer and golde is multiplied, and all that thou hast is increased,

14 a, saa bere no na ɛsɛ sɛ mohwɛ yiye. Monnyɛ ahomaso na mommma mo werɛ mmfi Awurade mo Nyankopɔn a oyii mo fii Misraim nkoasom asase so no.

Then thine heart be lifted vp and thou forget the Lord thy God, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage,

15 Ɔno na odii mo anim yii mo fii sare a na ɛso yɛ hu, asase sakoo a osukɔm wɔ so, na awɔ ne nkekantwɛre a wɔn ano wɔ bɔre wɔ so no so. Ɔmaa mo nsu fi ɔbotan mu.

Who was thy guide in the great and terrible wildernes (wherein were fierie serpents, and scorpions, and drought, where was no water, who brought forth water for thee out of ye rock of flint:

16 Ɔmaa mo mana aduan a mo agyanom nnim dii wɔ sare so. Ɔyɛɛ eyi de brɛɛ mo ase, de sɔɔ mo hwɛe na wama awiei no asi mo yiye.

Who fed thee in the wildernesse with MAN, which thy fathers knewe not) to humble thee, and and to proue thee, that he might doe thee good at thy latter ende.

17 Ɔyɛɛ saa de kyerɛɛ mo sɛ, ɛnsɛ sɛ modwene sɛ mo ahonya no fi mo ankasa mo ahoɔden mu.

Beware least thou say in thine heart, My power, and the strength of mine owne hand hath prepared me this abundance.

18 Daa monkae sɛ Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn, a ɔma mo tumi ma moyɛ adefo no, ɔyɛ saa de di apam a ɔne mo agyanom hyɛe no so.

But remember the Lord thy God: for it is he which giueth thee power to get substance to establish his couenant which he sware vnto thy fathers, as appeareth this day.

19 Sɛ mo werɛ fi Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn, na mokodi anyame afoforo akyi, som wɔn, kotow wɔn a, sɛe na wɔbɛsɛe mo.

And if thou forget the Lord thy God, and walke after other gods, and serue them, and worship them, I testifie vnto you this day that ye shall surely perish.

20 Sɛnea Awurade asɛe amanaman a na wɔwɔ mo anim no, mo nso sɛ moantie Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn no a, saa ara na wɔbɛsɛe mo.

As the nations which the Lord destroyeth before you, so ye shall perish, because ye woulde not be obedient vnto the voyce of the Lord your God.
