forsothe in the seuenthe yeer thou schalt leeue it, and schalt make to reste, that the pore men of thi puple ete, and what euer is residue, the beestis of the feeld ete; so thou schalt do in thi vyner, and in place of olyue trees.

Lo! Y schal sende myn aungel, that schal go bifore thee, and schal kepe in the weie, and schal lede to the place which Y haue maad redi to thee.
21 Momfa nidi mma no na munni ne nsɛm so; monnsɔre ntia no, efisɛ ɔremfa mo amumɔyɛ nkyɛ mo. Ɔyɛ me nsiananmu, na me din na ɛda ne so.
Take thou hede to hym, and here thou his vois, nether gesse thou hym to be dispisid; for he schal not foryyue, whanne thou synnest, and my name is in him.
22 Na sɛ motɔ mo bo ase, na mutie no, di me nsɛm nyinaa so a, mɛyɛ ɔtamfo atia mo atamfo.
For if thou herest his vois, and doist alle thingis whiche Y speke, Y schal be enemy to thin enemyes, and Y schal turment hem, that turmenten thee;
23 Me bɔfo bedi mo anim de mo aba Amorifo, Hetifo, Perisifo, Kanaanfo, Hewifo ne Yebusifo asase so na moatena hɔ. Na mɛsɛe saa nnipa no nyinaa wɔ mo anim.
and myn aungel schal go bifore thee, and he schal lede yn thee to Amorrei, and Ethei, and Ferezei, and Cananey, and Euey, and Jebusei, whiche Y schal breke.
24 Monnsom anyame a saa aman yi som wɔn no bi, na mommmɔ afɔre mma wɔn da biara da. Munnni saa abosonsomfo yi akyi. Munni wɔn so na mummubu wɔn ahoni a ɛyɛ animguasede no ngu.
Thou schalt not onoure `the goddis of hem, nether thou schalt worschipe hem; thou schalt not do the werkis of hem, but thou schalt destrie the goddis, and thou schalt breke the ymagis of hem.

And ye schulen serue to youre Lord God, that Y blesse thi looues, and watris, and do awei sikenesse fro the myddis of thee;
26 Ɔpɔn anaa abonin remma mo asase no so na mɛma mo nna amee mo.
neithir a womman vnfruytful, neither bareyn, schal be in thi lond; Y schal fille the noumbre of thi daies.
27 “Awurade ho hu bɛka aman a mubedi wɔn so no so nnipa nyinaa na wɔaguan wɔ mo anim.
Y schal sende my drede in to thi biforgoyng, and Y schal sle al the puple, to which thou schalt entre, and Y schal turne the backis of alle thin enemyes bifore thee;

litil and litil I schal caste hem out fro thi siyt, til thou be encreessid, and welde the loond.
31 “Mɛto mo ahye afi Po Kɔkɔɔ no ano akosi Filistifo mpoano, na mede afi sare a ɛwɔ anafo fam no so akosi Asu Eufrate, na mɛma mo adi nnipa a wɔte asase no so no so, na moapam wɔn afi mo anim.
Forsothe Y schal sette thi termys fro the reed see til to the see of Palestyns, and fro desert til to the flood. Y schal yyue to youre hondis the dwelleris of the lond, and Y schal caste hem out fro youre siyt;
32 Mo ne wɔn nnyɛ apam biara, na saa ara nso na mo ne wɔn anyame no nnyɛ biribiara.
thou schalt not make boond of pees with hem, nethir with `the goddis of hem.
33 Mommma wɔmmɛtena mo mu, anyɛ saa a wɔbɛma mo ayɛ bɔne atia me; esiane sɛ ɛnyɛ dɛn ara a, wɔn abosonsom no som bɛyɛ afiri a ebeyi mo.”
Dwelle thei not in thi lond, lest perauenture thei make thee to do synne ayens me, yf thou seruest her goddis, which thing certis schal be to thee in to sclaundir.
