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.

All the commandments which I command you this day shall you observe to do, that you may live, and multiply, and go in and possess the land which the LORD swore to 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 you shall remember all the way which the LORD your God led you these forty years in the wilderness, to humble you, and to prove you, to know what was in your heart, whether you would keep his commandments, 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.

And he humbled you, and suffered you to hunger, and fed you with manna, which you knew not, neither did your fathers know; that he might make you know that man does not live by bread only, but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of the LORD does man live.

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

Your raiment waxed not old on you, neither did your foot swell, these forty years.

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.

You shall also consider in your heart, that, as a man chastens his son, so the LORD your God chastens you.

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

Therefore you shall keep the commandments of the LORD your God, to walk in his ways, and to fear 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 your God brings you into a good land, a land of brooks of water, of fountains and depths that spring out of valleys and hills;

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

A land of wheat, and barley, and vines, and fig trees, and pomegranates; a land of oil olive, and honey;

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 you shall eat bread without scarceness, you shall not lack any thing in it; a land whose stones are iron, and out of whose hills you may dig brass.

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

When you have eaten and are full, then you shall bless the LORD your God for the good land which he has given you.

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 you forget not the LORD your God, in not keeping his commandments, and his judgments, and his statutes, which I command you this day:

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

Lest when you have eaten and are full, and have built goodly houses, and dwelled therein;

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

And when your herds and your flocks multiply, and your silver and your gold is multiplied, and all that you have is multiplied;

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 your heart be lifted up, and you forget the LORD your God, which brought you forth 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 led you through that great and terrible wilderness, wherein were fiery serpents, and scorpions, and drought, where there was no water; who brought you forth water out of the 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 you in the wilderness with manna, which your fathers knew not, that he might humble you, and that he might prove you, to do you good at your latter end;

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

And you say in your heart, My power and the might of my hand has gotten me this wealth.

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 you shall remember the LORD your God: for it is he that gives you power to get wealth, that he may establish his covenant which he swore to your fathers, as it is 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 it shall be, if you do at all forget the LORD your God, and walk after other gods, and serve them, and worship them, I testify against you this day that you 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 destroys before your face, so shall you perish; because you would not be obedient to the voice of the LORD your God.
