3 Mose 26

1 “‘Monnyɛ abosom. Munnsisi ahoni anaa abo mma mo ho. Mommfa abo a wɔatwa nsisi mo asase so sɛ morebɛkotow wɔn. Mene Awurade mo Nyankopɔn no.

Ye shall make you no idols nor graven image, neither rear you up a standing image, neither shall ye set up any image of stone in your land, to bow down unto it: for I am Yhwh your God.

2 “‘Ɛsɛ sɛ mudi me Homeda, na mode nidi ma me kronkronbea. Mene Awurade.

Ye shall keep my sabbaths, and reverence my sanctuary: I am Yhwh.

3 “‘Sɛ mudi me mmara no nyinaa so a,

If ye walk in my statutes, and keep my commandments, and do them;

4 daa mɛtɔ osu ama mo ama mo nnɔbae ayɛ yiye abu so, na mo nnua nso bɛsow aba a ɛbɛkyɛ wɔ nnua no so.

Then I will give you rain in due season, and the land shall yield her increase, and the trees of the field shall yield their fruit.

5 Na sɛ edu odua bere so bio koraa a, mo borɔdɔma bɛkɔ so abere. Mubedidi amee na moatena asase no so asomdwoe mu.

And your threshing shall reach unto the vintage, and the vintage shall reach unto the sowing time: and ye shall eat your bread to the full, and dwell in your land safely.

6 “‘Mɛma mo asomdwoe, na mɛma mo ada a munnsuro hwee. Mɛpam mmoa bɔne afi mo ho.

And I will give peace in the land, and ye shall lie down, and none shall make you afraid: and I will rid evil beasts out of the land, neither shall the sword go through your land.

7 Mobɛtaa mo atamfo; na wobewuwu wɔ mo afoa ano.

And ye shall chase your enemies, and they shall fall before you by the sword.

8 Mo mu baanum bɛka ɔha agu, na mo mu ɔha aka mpem du agu! Mo atamfo bɛtotɔ wɔ afoa ano wɔ mo anim.

And five of you shall chase an hundred, and an hundred of you shall put ten thousand to flight: and your enemies shall fall before you by the sword.

9 “‘Mɛhwɛ mo so na mama mo adɔ, na madi apam a me ne mo pamee no so.

For I will have respect unto you, and make you fruitful, and multiply you, and establish my covenant with you.

10 Mo nnɔbae bebu so a sɛ otwabere foforo du so a, morenhu nea mode bɛyɛ.

And ye shall eat old store, and bring forth the old because of the new.

11 Na mɛtena mo mu, na merenkyi mo.

And I will set my tabernacle among you: and my soul shall not abhor you.

12 Me ne mo bɛnantew, na mayɛ mo Nyankopɔn, na moayɛ me nkurɔfo.

And I will walk among you, and will be your God, and ye shall be my people.

13 Mene Awurade mo Nyankopɔn a ɔde mo fi Misraim asase so bae sɛnea morenyɛ Misraimfo nkoa bio no. Mibubuu mo konnua nkɔnsɔnkɔnsɔn, na ɛma mo anantew anuonyam so.

I am Yhwh your God, which brought you forth out of the land of Egypt, that ye should not be their bondmen; and I have broken the bands of your yoke, and made you go upright.

14 “‘Na sɛ moantie me, anni mʼasɛm so,

But if ye will not hearken unto me, and will not do all these commandments;

15 na mopo mʼahyɛde ne me mmara na moanni so, bu mʼapam so a,

And if ye shall despise my statutes, or if your soul abhor my judgments, so that ye will not do all my commandments, but that ye break my covenant:

16 nea mɛyɛ mo ni: Mɛma mo koma atutu na mama nsamanwaw ayɛ mo, na atiridiinini abɔ mo. Mo ani betutu, na mo nkwa so ahuan. Mubedua nnɔbae agu kwa, efisɛ mo atamfo na wobedi.

I also will do this unto you; I will even appoint over you terror, consumption, and the burning ague, that shall consume the eyes, and cause sorrow of heart: and ye shall sow your seed in vain, for your enemies shall eat it.

17 Meyi mʼani afi mo so, na moaguan afi mo atamfo anim. Wɔn a wɔtan mo no bedi mo so. Mubeguan bere a obiara ntaa mo mpo.

And I will set my face against you, and ye shall be slain before your enemies: they that hate you shall reign over you; and ye shall flee when none pursueth you.

18 “‘Na sɛ mokɔ so yɛ asoɔden a, mɛtwe mo bɔne no so aso mmɔho ason.

And if ye will not yet for all this hearken unto me, then I will punish you seven times more for your sins.

19 Mɛsɛe mo ahantan tumi no na mayɛ mo soro sɛ dade ne mo fam sɛ kɔbere.

And I will break the pride of your power; and I will make your heaven as iron, and your earth as brass:

20 Mobɛsɛe mo ahoɔden kwa, na mo asase rennya nnɔbae biara, na ɛso nnua nso rensow aba.

And your strength shall be spent in vain: for your land shall not yield her increase, neither shall the trees of the land yield their fruits.

21 “‘Na sɛ tie ara na morentie me a, mo bɔne nti, mede ɔyaredɔm mmɔho ason a ɛfata mo bɔne no begu mo so.

And if ye walk contrary unto me, and will not hearken unto me; I will bring seven times more plagues upon you according to your sins.

22 Mɛma nkekaboa abekunkum mo mma na wɔakunkum mo anantwi, na matew mo dodow so, na mo akwan bɛda mpan a obi mfa so bio.

I will also send wild beasts among you, which shall rob you of your children, and destroy your cattle, and make you few in number; and your high ways shall be desolate.

23 “‘Na sɛ eyi antumi ansakra mo, na mokɔ so tia mʼapɛde a,

And if ye will not be reformed by me by these things, but will walk contrary unto me;

24 me nso, metia mo apɛde, na me ara mʼankasa mɛtwe mo aso mpɛn ason wɔ mo bɔne ho.

Then will I also walk contrary unto you, and will punish you yet seven times for your sins.

25 Menam ɔko so bebu mʼapam so ako atia mo de atua mo so ka. Mubeguan akɔ mo nkurow mu, na mede nyarewa bɛtoa mo wɔ hɔ. Na mo atamfo bedi mo so.

And I will bring a sword upon you, that shall avenge the quarrel of my covenant: and when ye are gathered together within your cities, I will send the pestilence among you; and ye shall be delivered into the hand of the enemy.

26 Mɛsɛe mo nnuan a mubenya nyinaa akosi sɛ mpo, fononoo baako brodo a ɛbɛto no na mmusuakuw du bedi. Aduan kakra a mubedi no akyi, ɔkɔm bɛde mo.

And when I have broken the staff of your bread, ten women shall bake your bread in one oven, and they shall deliver you your bread again by weight: and ye shall eat, and not be satisfied.

27 “‘Na sɛ mokɔ so yɛ asoɔden a,

And if ye will not for all this hearken unto me, but walk contrary unto me;

28 mo bɔne nti, me bo befuw mo na matwe mo aso a emu yɛ den mmɔho ason.

Then I will walk contrary unto you also in fury; and I, even I, will chastise you seven times for your sins.

29 Mobɛwe mo mmabarima ne mo mmabea nam.

And ye shall eat the flesh of your sons, and the flesh of your daughters shall ye eat.

30 Mɛsɛe mo sorɔnsorɔmmea. Metwitwa mo aduhuam afɔremuka agu, na mahyehyɛ mo afunu wɔ mo ahoni a enni nkwa no so; na mɛpo mo.

And I will destroy your high places, and cut down your images, and cast your carcases upon the carcases of your idols, and my soul shall abhor you.

31 Mɛma mo nkurow ayɛ amamfo na masɛe baabi a mosom nyinaa, na mapo mo ohuam afɔrebɔ no.

And I will make your cities waste, and bring your sanctuaries unto desolation, and I will not smell the savour of your sweet odours.

32 Ampa ara, mɛma mo asase so ada mpan na mo atamfo atena so, na nea mɛyɛ mo no ayɛ mo nwonwa.

And I will bring the land into desolation: and your enemies which dwell therein shall be astonished at it.

33 Mɛbɔ mo apete aman no a morekɔ so nyinaa so, na mede ɔko asɛe mo. Mo asase bɛda mpan na wɔasɛe mo nkurow.

And I will scatter you among the heathen, and will draw out a sword after you: and your land shall be desolate, and your cities waste.

34 Akyiri no, asase no bɛda hɔ ahome de asi mfe dodow a moamma anhome no anan; ɛbɛda hɔ wɔ mmere a mowɔ atamfo nsam wɔ wɔn nsase so no nyinaa. Na asase no ahome, na anya ne home nna nso.

Then shall the land enjoy her sabbaths, as long as it lieth desolate, and ye be in your enemies’ land; even then shall the land rest, and enjoy her sabbaths.

35 Bere a asase no da mpan nyinaa, ebenya home a moamma annya wɔ Homeda dodow a motenaa so no.

As long as it lieth desolate it shall rest; because it did not rest in your sabbaths, when ye dwelt upon it.

36 “‘Wɔn a wogyaw wɔn hɔ a wonwui no nso, mɛma wɔatwe wɔn akɔ akyirikyiri nsase so sɛ ɔko mu nneduafo ne nkoa. Ɛhɔ na wɔbɛtena daa wɔ ehu mu. Wɔte sɛ mframa rebɔ ahaban koraa a, wobeguan te sɛ nea obi a okura afoa repam wɔn; wɔbɛhwehwe ase wɔ bere a obi ntaa wɔn.

And upon them that are left alive of you I will send a faintness into their hearts in the lands of their enemies; and the sound of a shaken leaf shall chase them; and they shall flee, as fleeing from a sword; and they shall fall when none pursueth.

37 Obiara rentaa wɔn nanso ehu nti, wobehintihintiw wɔn ho wɔn ho te sɛnea wɔreguan afi akono a wonni tumi biara a wɔde begyina wɔn atamfo anim no.

And they shall fall one upon another, as it were before a sword, when none pursueth: and ye shall have no power to stand before your enemies.

38 Mobɛyera wɔ aman mu, na mo atamfo asɛe mo.

And ye shall perish among the heathen, and the land of your enemies shall eat you up.

39 Wɔn a wɔbɛka no, wɔn bɔne nti, wɔn ho bɛyeraw wɔn wɔ atamfo nsase so, bɔne a wɔn agyanom yɛe no nti.

And they that are left of you shall pine away in their iniquity in your enemies’ lands; and also in the iniquities of their fathers shall they pine away with them.

40 “‘Nanso akyiri no, me nkurɔfo bɛka wɔn bɔne ne wɔn agyanom bɔne. Wɔbɛka sɛnea wodii me huammɔ na wotiaa me no.

If they shall confess their iniquity, and the iniquity of their fathers, with their trespass which they trespassed against me, and that also they have walked contrary unto me;

41 Sɛ me nso mitia wɔn sɛ nea ɛsɛ na mede wɔn kɔ wɔn atamfo asase so a, afei, wɔn komaden no ano bɛbrɛ ase, na wobetua wɔn bɔne so ka.

And that I also have walked contrary unto them, and have brought them into the land of their enemies; if then their uncircumcised hearts be humbled, and they then accept of the punishment of their iniquity:

42 Afei, mɛkae apam a mene Yakob, Isak ne Abraham ayɛ, na mɛkae asase no.

Then will I remember my covenant with Jacob, and also my covenant with Isaac, and also my covenant with Abraham will I remember; and I will remember the land.

43 Asase no da hɔ dinn no, ebedi ne homeda. Nanso akyiri no, wobenya wɔn asotwe sɛ wɔanni me nhyehyɛe so na wɔpoo mʼahyɛde.

The land also shall be left of them, and shall enjoy her sabbaths, while she lieth desolate without them: and they shall accept of the punishment of their iniquity: because, even because they despised my judgments, and because their soul abhorred my statutes.

44 Na nea wɔyɛɛ no nyinaa akyi no, merensɛe wɔn ne mʼapam no korakora, efisɛ mene Awurade wɔn Nyankopɔn.

And yet for all that, when they be in the land of their enemies, I will not cast them away, neither will I abhor them, to destroy them utterly, and to break my covenant with them: for I am Yhwh their God.

45 Mɛkae tete apam a me ne wɔn agyanom a miyii wɔn fii Misraim, bere a amanaman nyinaa rehwɛ no yɛe no. Me Awurade ne wɔn Nyankopɔn.’”

But I will for their sakes remember the covenant of their ancestors, whom I brought forth out of the land of Egypt in the sight of the heathen, that I might be their God: I am Yhwh.

46 Eyinom ne mmara ne ahyɛde a Awurade nam Mose so de maa Israelfo no wɔ Sinai Bepɔw so no.

These are the statutes and judgments and laws, which Yhwh made between him and the children of Israel in mount Sinai by the hand of Moses.
