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 do not make to yourselves idols; and graven image or standing image ye do not set up to yourselves; and a stone of imagery ye do not put in your land, to bow yourselves to it; for I [am] Jehovah your God.
2 “‘Ɛsɛ sɛ mudi me Homeda, na mode nidi ma me kronkronbea. Mene Awurade.
'My sabbaths ye do keep, and My sanctuary ye do reverence; I [am] Jehovah.
3 “‘Sɛ mudi me mmara no nyinaa so a,
'If in My statutes ye walk, and My commands ye keep, and have done 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 have given your rains in their season, and the land hath given her produce, and the tree of the field doth give its 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 reached to you hath the threshing, the gathering, and the gathering doth reach the sowing -[time]; and ye have eaten your bread to satiety, and have dwelt confidently in your land.
6 “‘Mɛma mo asomdwoe, na mɛma mo ada a munnsuro hwee. Mɛpam mmoa bɔne afi mo ho.
'And I have given peace in the land, and ye have lain down, and there is none causing trembling; and I have caused evil beasts to cease out of the land, and the sword doth not pass over into your land.
7 Mobɛtaa mo atamfo; na wobewuwu wɔ mo afoa ano.
'And ye have pursued your enemies, and they have fallen 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 have pursued a hundred, and a hundred of you do pursue a myriad; and your enemies have fallen before you by the sword.
9 “‘Mɛhwɛ mo so na mama mo adɔ, na madi apam a me ne mo pamee no so.
'And I have turned unto you, and have made you fruitful, and have multiplied you, and have established My covenant with you;
10 Mo nnɔbae bebu so a sɛ otwabere foforo du so a, morenhu nea mode bɛyɛ.
and ye have eaten old [store], and the old because of the new ye bring out.
11 Na mɛtena mo mu, na merenkyi mo.
'And I have given My tabernacle in your midst, and My soul doth not loathe you;
12 Me ne mo bɛnantew, na mayɛ mo Nyankopɔn, na moayɛ me nkurɔfo.
and I have walked habitually in your midst, and have become your God, and ye — ye are become 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] Jehovah your God, who have brought you out of the land of the Egyptians, from being their servants; and I break the bars of your yoke, and cause you to go erect.
14 “‘Na sɛ moantie me, anni mʼasɛm so,
'And if ye do not hearken to Me, and do not all these commands;
15 na mopo mʼahyɛde ne me mmara na moanni so, bu mʼapam so a,
and if at My statutes ye kick, and if My judgments your soul loathe, so as not to do all My commands — to your breaking 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 do this to you, and I have appointed over you trouble, the consumption, and the burning fever, consuming eyes, and causing pain of soul; and your seed in vain ye have sowed, and your enemies have eaten 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 have set My face against you, and ye have been smitten before your enemies; and those hating you have ruled over you, and ye have fled, and there is none pursuing you.
18 “‘Na sɛ mokɔ so yɛ asoɔden a, mɛtwe mo bɔne no so aso mmɔho ason.
'And if unto these ye hearken not to Me, — then I have added to chastise you seven times for your sins;
19 Mɛsɛe mo ahantan tumi no na mayɛ mo soro sɛ dade ne mo fam sɛ kɔbere.
and I have broken the pride of your strength, and have made your heavens 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 consumed hath been your strength in vain, and your land doth not give her produce, and the tree of the land doth not give its fruit.
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 with Me [in] opposition, and are not willing to hearken to Me, then I have added to you a plague seven times, 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.
and sent against you the beast of the field, and it hath bereaved you; and I have cut off your cattle, and have made you few, and your ways have been desolate.
23 “‘Na sɛ eyi antumi ansakra mo, na mokɔ so tia mʼapɛde a,
'And if by these ye are not instructed by Me, and have walked with Me [in] opposition,
24 me nso, metia mo apɛde, na me ara mʼankasa mɛtwe mo aso mpɛn ason wɔ mo bɔne ho.
then I have walked — I also — with you in opposition, and have smitten you, even I, 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 have brought in on you a sword, executing the vengeance of a covenant; and ye have been gathered unto your cities, and I have sent pestilence into your midst, and ye have been given into the hand of an 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.
'In My breaking to you the staff of bread, then ten women have baked your bread in one oven, and have given back your bread by weight; and ye have eaten, and are not satisfied.
27 “‘Na sɛ mokɔ so yɛ asoɔden a,
'And if for this ye hearken not to Me, and have walked with Me in opposition,
28 mo bɔne nti, me bo befuw mo na matwe mo aso a emu yɛ den mmɔho ason.
then I have walked with you in the fury of opposition, and have chastised you, even I, seven times for your sins.
29 Mobɛwe mo mmabarima ne mo mmabea nam.
'And ye have eaten the flesh of your sons; even flesh of your daughters ye do 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 have destroyed your high places, and cut down your images, and have put your carcases on the carcases of your idols, and My soul hath loathed you;
31 Mɛma mo nkurow ayɛ amamfo na masɛe baabi a mosom nyinaa, na mapo mo ohuam afɔrebɔ no.
and I have made your cities a waste, and have made desolate your sanctuaries, and I smell not at your sweet fragrances;
32 Ampa ara, mɛma mo asase so ada mpan na mo atamfo atena so, na nea mɛyɛ mo no ayɛ mo nwonwa.
and I have made desolate the land, and your enemies, who are dwelling in it, have been 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 you I scatter among nations, and have drawn out after you a sword, and your land hath been a desolation, and your cities are a 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 doth the land enjoy its sabbaths — all the days of the desolation, and ye in the land of your enemies — then doth the land rest, and hath enjoyed its sabbaths;
35 Bere a asase no da mpan nyinaa, ebenya home a moamma annya wɔ Homeda dodow a motenaa so no.
all the days of the desolation it resteth that which it hath not rested in your sabbaths in your dwelling on 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 those who are left of you — I have also brought a faintness into their heart in the lands of their enemies, and the sound of a leaf driven away hath pursued them, and they have fled — flight from a sword — and they have fallen, and there is none pursuing.
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 have stumbled one on another, as from the face of a sword, and there is none pursuing, and ye have no standing before your enemies,
38 Mobɛyera wɔ aman mu, na mo atamfo asɛe mo.
and ye have perished among the nations, and the land of your enemies hath consumed you.
39 Wɔn a wɔbɛka no, wɔn bɔne nti, wɔn ho bɛyeraw wɔn wɔ atamfo nsase so, bɔne a wɔn agyanom yɛe no nti.
'And those who are left of you — they consume away in their iniquity, in the lands of your enemies; and also in the iniquities of their fathers, with them they consume away.
40 “‘Nanso akyiri no, me nkurɔfo bɛka wɔn bɔne ne wɔn agyanom bɔne. Wɔbɛka sɛnea wodii me huammɔ na wotiaa me no.
'And — they have confessed their iniquity, and the iniquity of their fathers, in their trespass which they have trespassed against Me, and also, that they have walked with Me, in opposition,
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.
also I walk to them in opposition, and have brought them into the land of their enemies — or then their uncircumcised heart is humbled, and then they accept the punishment of their iniquity, —
42 Afei, mɛkae apam a mene Yakob, Isak ne Abraham ayɛ, na mɛkae asase no.
then I have remembered My covenant [with] Jacob, and also My covenant [with] Isaac, and also My covenant [with] Abraham I remember, and the land I remember.
43 Asase no da hɔ dinn no, ebedi ne homeda. Nanso akyiri no, wobenya wɔn asotwe sɛ wɔanni me nhyehyɛe so na wɔpoo mʼahyɛde.
'And — the land is left of them, and doth enjoy its sabbaths, in the desolation without them, and they accept the punishment of their iniquity, because, even because, against My judgments they have kicked, and My statutes hath their soul loathed,
44 Na nea wɔyɛɛ no nyinaa akyi no, merensɛe wɔn ne mʼapam no korakora, efisɛ mene Awurade wɔn Nyankopɔn.
and also even this, in their being in the land of their enemies, I have not rejected them, nor have I loathed them, to consume them, to break My covenant with them; for I [am] Jehovah 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.’”
then I have remembered for them the covenant of the ancestors, whom I brought forth out of the land of Egypt before the eyes of the nations to become their God; I [am] Jehovah.'
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 the judgments, and the laws, which Jehovah hath given between Him and the sons of Israel, in mount Sinai, by the hand of Moses.
