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 unto me, Hew you two tables of stone like unto the first, and come up unto me into the mount, and make you 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 write on the tables the words that were in the first tables which you brake, and you shall put them in 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.

And I made an ark of shittim wood, and hewed two tables of stone like unto the first, and went up into the mount, having the two tables in mine hand.

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 wrote on the tables, according to the first writing, the ten commandments, which the LORD spoke unto you in the mount out of the midst of the fire in the day of the assembly: and the LORD gave them unto 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 I turned myself and came down from the mount, and put the tables in the ark which I had made; and there they be, as the LORD commanded me.

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 took their journey from Beeroth of the children of Jaakan to Mosera: there Aaron died, and there he was buried; and Eleazar his son ministered in the priest's office in his position.

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

From thence they journeyed unto Gudgodah; and from Gudgodah to Jotbath, a land of rivers of waters.

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 separated the tribe of Levi, to bear the ark of the covenant of the LORD, to stand before the LORD to minister unto him, and to bless in his name, unto 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.

Wherefore Levi has no part nor inheritance with his brethren; the LORD is his inheritance, according as the LORD your God promised 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 stayed in the mount, according to the first time, forty days and forty nights; and the LORD hearkened unto me at that time also, and the LORD would not destroy 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.”

And the LORD said unto me, Arise, take your journey before the people, that they may go in and possess the land, which I swore unto their fathers to give unto 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 does the LORD your God require of you, but to fear the LORD your God, to walk in all his ways, and to love him, and to serve the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul,

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

To keep the commandments of the LORD, and his statutes, which I command you this day for your good?

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

Behold, the heaven and the heaven of heavens is the LORD's your God, the earth also, with all that therein is.

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

Only the LORD had a delight in your fathers to love them, and he chose their seed after them, even you above all people, as it is this day.

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

Circumcise therefore the foreskin of your heart, and be no more stubborn.

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, a great God, a mighty, and a terrible, which regards not persons, nor takes reward:

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

He does execute the judgment of the fatherless and widow, and loves the stranger, in giving him food and raiment.

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

Love all of you therefore the stranger: for all of you were strangers 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.

You shall fear the LORD your God; him shall you serve, and to him shall you cleave, and swear by his name.

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

He is your praise, and he is your God, that has done for you these great and terrible things, 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 threescore and ten persons; and now the LORD your God has made you as the stars of heaven for multitude.
