5 Mose 10

1 Saa ɛberɛ no, Awurade ka kyerɛɛ me sɛ, “Twa aboɔ ɛpono no mmienu te sɛ kane deɛ no na foro bra me nkyɛn wɔ bepɔ no so. Afei, yɛ dua adaka a wobɛkora wɔ mu.

At that time the Lord said to me, Make two other stones, cut like the first two, and come up to me on the mountain, and make an ark of wood.

2 Mɛtwerɛ nsɛm a metwerɛ guu aboɔ ɛpono mmienu a ɛdi ɛkan a wobubuu mu no bi pɛpɛɛpɛ agu so. Na wode ahyɛ adaka no mu.”

And I will put on the stones the words which were on the first stones which were broken by you, and you are to put them into the ark.

3 Na mede dua okuo yɛɛ adaka, senee aboɔ ɛpono mmienu sɛ kane deɛ no, na meforoo bepɔ no a apono mmienu no kura me nsam.

So I made an ark of hard wood, and had two stones cut like the others, and went up the mountain with the stones in my hands.

4 Awurade twerɛɛ Mmaransɛm Edu no a ɔdii ɛkan twerɛ firii ogya mu wɔ bepɔ no so wɔ mo nhyiamu ase no guu apono no so. Na Awurade de maa me.

And he put on the stones, as in the first writing, the ten rules which the Lord gave you on the mountain out of the fire on the day of the great meeting: and the Lord gave the stones to me.

5 Na mesiane firii bepɔ no so na mede aboɔ apono no bɛhyɛɛ adaka a meyɛeɛ no mu sɛdeɛ Awurade hyɛɛ me sɛ menyɛ no, na ɛwɔ hɔ bɛsi ɛnnɛ.

And turning round I came down from the mountain and put the stones in the ark which I had made; and there they are as the Lord gave me orders.

6 Na Israelfoɔ tu firii Beerot-Bene-Yaakan kɔɔ Mosera. Ɛhɔ na Aaron wuiɛ na wɔsiee no. Aaron babarima Eleasa sii nʼanan mu, dii ɔsɔfoɔ.

(And the children of Israel went on from Beeroth Bene-jaakan to Moserah: there death came to Aaron and he was put to rest in the earth; and Eleazar, his son, took his place as priest.

7 Wɔfiri hɔ no, wɔtu kɔɔ Gudgod. Wɔfiri Gudgod hɔ no, wɔkɔɔ Yotbata, asase a nsuo abu so wɔ so.

From there they went on to Gudgodah, and from Gudgodah to Jotbathah, a land of streams of water.

8 Ɛhɔ na Awurade yii Lewifoɔ abusuakuo sɛ wɔnsoa Awurade apam adaka no na wɔnnyina Awurade anim nsom no na wɔmfa ne din so nhyira. Yeinom da so yɛ wɔn nnwuma de bɛsi ɛnnɛ.

At that time the Lord had the tribe of Levi marked out to take up the ark of the Lord's agreement, to be before the Lord and to do his work and to give blessings in his name, to this day.

9 Ne saa enti na Lewifoɔ no nni agyapadeɛ a wɔnya mu mfasodeɛ wɔ Israelfoɔ mmusuakuo mu no. Awurade no ankasa ne wɔn agyapadeɛ sɛdeɛ Awurade mo Onyankopɔn ka kyerɛɛ wɔn no.

For this reason Levi has no part or heritage for himself among his brothers: the Lord is his heritage, as the Lord your God said to him.)

10 Sɛdeɛ maka dada no, metenaa bepɔ no so Awurade anim adaduanan awia ne anadwo ne mprenu so. Na bio, Awurade tiee me sufrɛ enti, wansɛe mo.

And I was in the mountain, as at the first time, for forty days and forty nights; and again the ears of the Lord were open to my prayer, and he did not send destruction on you.

11 Awurade ka kyerɛɛ me sɛ, “Sɔre na di ɔmanfoɔ no anim fa wɔn kɔ asase a mekaa ntam sɛ mede bɛma wɔn agyanom no so na wɔmfa no sɛ agyapadeɛ.”

Then the Lord said to me, Get up and go on your journey before the people, so that they may go in and take the land which I said in my oath to their fathers that I would give them.

12 Enti Israel, ɛdeɛn na Awurade, mo Onyankopɔn, hwehwɛ afiri mo nkyɛn? Ɔhwehwɛ sɛ mosuro no na moyɛ nʼapɛdeɛ, na mode mo akoma ne mo kra nyinaa dɔ no na mosom no,

And now, Israel, what would the Lord your God have you do, but to go in the fear of the Lord your God, walking in all his ways and loving him and doing his pleasure with all your heart and all your soul,

13 na modi Awurade ahyɛdeɛ ne ne mmara a mede rema mo ɛnnɛ yi so, na asi mo yie.

Doing the orders of the Lord and keeping his laws which I give you this day for your good?

14 Ɔsorosoro mu soro ne asase ne deɛ ɛwɔ mu nyinaa yɛ Awurade mo Onyankopɔn, dea.

The Lord your God is ruler of heaven, of the heaven of heavens, and of the earth with everything in it.

15 Nanso, Awurade yii mo agyanom sɛ ne dɔ nhwɛsodeɛ. Na ɔyii mo a moyɛ wɔn asefoɔ gyaa ɔman biara sɛdeɛ ɛte ɛnnɛ yi.

But the Lord had delight in your fathers and love for them, marking out for himself their seed after them, even you, from all peoples, as at this day.

16 Ɛno enti, momma wɔnte mo akoma mu na monnyae asoɔden no.

Let your circumcision be of the heart, and put away your pride.

17 Awurade mo Onyankopɔn yɛ ahene mu hene ne anyame mu nyame. Ɔyɛ Onyankopɔn kokuroko, otumfoɔ ne ɔnwanwani a ɔnkyea nʼaso na ɔnnye adanmudeɛ nso.

For the Lord your God is God of gods and Lord of lords, the great God, strong in power and greatly to be feared, who has no respect for any man's position and takes no rewards:

18 Ɔbu nwisiaa ne akunafoɔ atɛntenenee. Ɔda ne dɔ adi kyerɛ ahɔhoɔ a wɔte mo mu. Ɔma wɔn aduane ne ntoma.

Judging uprightly in the cause of the widow and of the child who has no father, and giving food and clothing in his mercy to the man from a strange country.

19 Mo nso, ɛsɛ sɛ modɔ ahɔhoɔ, ɛfiri sɛ, mo nso ɛberɛ bi na moyɛ ahɔhoɔ wɔ Misraim asase so.

So be kind to the man from a strange country who is living among you, for you yourselves were living in a strange country in the land of Egypt.

20 Ɛsɛ sɛ modi Awurade mo Onyankopɔn ni na mosom no, na moka mo ho bata ne ho. Monka ntam wɔ ne din nko ara mu.

Let the fear of the Lord your God be before you, give him worship and be true to him at all times, taking your oaths in his name.

21 Ɔyɛ mo Onyankopɔn a ɛsɛ sɛ mokamfo no. Ɔno na wayɛ anwanwadeɛ akɛseɛ a mo nyinaa ahunu bi.

He is your God, the God of your praise, your God who has done for you all these works of power which your eyes have seen.

22 Ɛberɛ a mo agyanom siane kɔɔ Misraim no, na wɔn dodoɔ yɛ aduɔson. Nanso afei, Awurade, mo Onyankopɔn ama moadɔre te sɛ ɔsoro nsoromma.

Your fathers went down into Egypt with seventy persons; and now the Lord your God has made you like the stars of heaven in number.
