2 Mose 20

1 Na Onyankopɔn kaa nsɛm yi yi nyinaa:

And the Lord spak alle these wordis, Y am thi Lord God,

2 “Mene Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn, a miyii mo fii nkoasom mu wɔ Misraim no.

that ladde thee out of the lond of Egipt, fro the hous of seruage.

3 “Monnsom onyame foforo biara nka me ho.

Thou schalt not haue alien goddis bifore me.

4 Monnyɛ ohoni anaa biribiara a ɛsɛ ade a ɛwɔ wim, anaa nea ɛwɔ asase so, anaa nea ɛwɔ nsu mu, anaa nea ɛwɔ asase ase.

Thou schalt not make to thee a grauun ymage, nethir ony licnesse of thing which is in heuene aboue, and which is in erthe bynethe, nether of tho thingis, that ben in watris vndur erthe; thou schalt not `herie tho,

5 Monnkotow ohoni biara nsom no wɔ ɔkwan biara so, na me, Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn, meyɛ ninkufo a metwe mma a wɔtan me no aso wɔ awofonom bɔne a wɔyɛ no ho kɔ awo ntoatoaso abiɛsa ne anan mu,

nether `thou schalt worschipe; for Y am thi Lord God, a stronge gelouse louyere; and Y visite the wickidnesse of fadris in to the thridde and the fourthe generacioun of hem that haten me,

6 nanso meda ɔdɔ adi kyerɛ awo ntoatoaso mpem a wɔdɔ me na wodi mʼahyɛde so no.

and Y do mercy in to `a thousynde, to hem that louen me, and kepen myn heestis.

7 Mommmɔ Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn no, din basabasa. Sɛ moyɛ saa a, obebu mo fɔ.

Thou schalt not take in veyn the name of thi Lord God, for the Lord schal not haue hym giltles, that takith in veyn the name of his Lord God.

8 Monkae homeda na munni no sɛ da kronkron.

Haue thou mynde, that thou halowe the `dai of the sabat;

9 Nnansia na momfa nyɛ mo nnwuma nyinaa,

in sixe daies thou schalt worche and schalt do alle thi werkis;

10 na da a ɛto so ason no yɛ homeda ma Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn. Saa da no, ɛnsɛ sɛ moyɛ adwuma biara; ɛnsɛ sɛ mo mmabarima, mo mmabea anaa mo asomfo anaa mo anantwi anaa mo ahɔho yɛ adwuma biara.

forsothe in the seuenthe day is the sabat of thi Lord God; thou schalt not do ony werk, thou, and thi sone, and thi douytir, and thi seruaunt, and thin handmaide, thi werk beeste, and the comelyng which is withynne thi yatis;

11 Efisɛ Awurade de nnansia na ɛbɔɔ ɔsoro, asase ne po ne biribiara a ɛwɔ ne nyinaa mu, na ɔhomee ne nnanson so; enti ohyiraa homeda no so sɛ wɔmfa nhome.

for in sixe dayes God made heuene and erthe, the see, and alle thingis that ben in tho, and restide in the seuenthe dai; herfor the Lord blesside the `dai of the sabat, and halewide it.

12 Di wʼagya ne wo na ni na wo nna aware wɔ asase a Awurade, wo Nyankopɔn, de rema wo no so.

Onoure thi fadir and thi moder, that thou be long lyuyng on the lond, which thi Lord God schal yyue to thee.

13 Nni awu.

Thou schalt not sle.

14 Nsɛe aware.

Thou schalt `do no letcherie.

15 Mmɔ korɔn.

Thou schalt `do no theft.

16 Nni adansekurum.

Thou schalt not speke fals witnessyng ayens thi neiybore.

17 Mma wʼani mmere wo yɔnko fi anaa ne yere anaa nʼasomfo anaa nʼanantwi anaa ne mfurum anaa biribiara a ɛyɛ ne de.”

Thou schalt not coueyte `the hous of thi neiybore, nether thou schalt desyre his wijf, not seruaunt, not handmaide, not oxe, not asse, nether alle thingis that ben hise.

18 Nnipa no nyinaa huu anyinam ne wusiw kumɔnn wɔ bepɔw no so. Wɔtee aprannaa ne torobɛnto nne a ɛyɛ hu a ɛrebɔ denneennen. Enti wɔtew gyinae a ehu ama wɔn ho rewosow.

Forsothe al the puple herde voices, and siy laumpis, and the sowne of a clarioun, and the hil smokynge; and thei weren afeerd, and schakun with inward drede, and stoden afer,

19 Wɔka kyerɛɛ Mose se, “Ka asɛm biara a Onyankopɔn aka akyerɛ wo sɛ ka kyerɛ yɛn, na yebetie. Na mma Onyankopɔn ankasa nkasa nkyerɛ yɛn na yɛanwuwu.”

and seiden to Moises, Speke thou to vs, and we schulen here; the Lord speke not to vs, lest perauenture we dien.

20 Mose nso ka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Munnsuro na Onyankopɔn pɛ sɛ ɔda ne tumi adi kyerɛ mo sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a, efi nnɛ rekɔ no, mubesuro sɛ mobɛyɛ bɔne atia no.”

And Moises seide to the puple, Nyle ye drede, for God cam to proue you, and that his drede schulde be in you, and that ye schulden not do synne.

21 Nanso, nnipa no tew wɔn ho gyinaa akyirikyiri baabi. Mose de, owuraa sum kabii no mu kɔɔ faako a Onyankopɔn wɔ hɔ no.

And the puple stood afer; forsothe Moises neiyede to the derknesse, wherynne God was.

22 Awurade ka kyerɛɛ Mose se, “Ka saa asɛm yi kyerɛ Israelfo no. ‘Mudi ho adanse sɛ, mifi ɔsoro ada me pɛ adi akyerɛ mo.

And the Lord seide ferthermore to Moises, Thou schalt seie these thingis to the sones of Israel, Ye seiyen that fro heuene Y spak to you;

23 Monkae sɛ ɛnsɛ sɛ moyɛ anaa mosom ahoni a wɔde sika anaa dwetɛ anaa biribi foforo ayɛ.

ye schulen not make goddis of silver, nethir ye schulen make to you goddis of gold.

24 “‘Dɔte afɔremuka na monyɛ mma me. Ɛso na mommɔ mo afɔre mma me. Mo ɔhyew afɔre ne asomdwoe afɔre a mode nguan ne anantwi bɔ no nyinaa mommɔ mma me. Faako a mɛkyerɛ mo sɛ munsi afɔremuka no na munsi na mɛba hɔ abehyira mo.

Ye schulen make an auter of erthe to me, and ye schulen offre theronne youre brent sacrifices, and pesible sacrifices, youre scheep, and oxun, in ech place in which the mynde of my name schal be; Y schal come to thee, and Y schal blesse thee.

25 Mutumi de abo nso si afɔremuka, nanso abo a wontwae na momfa nsi. Sɛ mode afiri bi twa abo no di no adwinni a, enye sɛ wɔde si, efisɛ moagu ho fi.

That if thou schalt make an auter of stoon to me, thou schalt not bilde it of stoonys hewun; for if thou schalt reise thi knyif theronne, it schal be `polluted, ether defoulid.

26 Monnyɛ atrapoe mma afɔremuka no anyɛ saa a, obi bɛhwɛ mo ntade ase ahu mo adagyaw mu.’

Thou schalt not stye bi grees to myn auter, lest thi filthe be schewid.
