5 Mose 11
1 Dɔ Awurade wo Onyankopɔn na di nʼapɛdeɛ, ne mmara ne nʼahyɛdeɛ so berɛ nyinaa.
So have love for the Lord your God, and give him worship, and keep his laws and his decisions and his orders at all times.
2 Montie ɛnnɛ sɛ, ɛnyɛ mo mma na wɔnyaa osuahunu hunuu Awurade mo Onyankopɔn ntenesoɔ, ne tumi, ne basa kɛseɛ, ne nsa a watene mu,
And be certain in your minds this day; for these words are not said to your children, who have had no experience of the training of the Lord your God, and who have not seen his great power or his strong hand and his stretched-out arm,
3 nsɛnkyerɛnneɛ a ɔyɛeɛ ne nneɛma a wɔyɛɛ wɔ Misraim pɛɛ maa ebi kaa Misraimhene Farao ne ɔman mu no nyinaa.
Or his signs and wonders which he did in Egypt, to Pharaoh, king of Egypt, and all his land;
4 Wɔanhunu dwuma a mo Onyankopɔn dii Misraim asraafoɔ, wɔn apɔnkɔ ne wɔn nteaseɛnam, anaa sɛdeɛ ɔmaa Ɛpo Kɔkɔɔ yiri faa wɔn ɛberɛ a wɔtaa mo no ne sɛdeɛ Awurade sɛee wɔn ɛberɛ a wɔtaa mo no ne sɛdeɛ Awurade sɛee wɔn de bɛsi ɛnnɛ yi.
And what he did to the army of Egypt, to their horses and their war-carriages; how he made the waters of the Red Sea come up over them when they went after you, and how the Lord put an end to them even to this day;
5 Wɔanhunu sɛdeɛ na Awurade hwɛ mo so yie wɔ ɛserɛ so hɔ kɔsii sɛ mobɛduruu ha.
And what he did for you in the waste land, till you came to this place;
6 Na wɔnni hɔ enti, wɔanhunu deɛ wɔde yɛɛ Eliab a ɔyɛ Ruben aseni mma Datan ne Abiram ɛberɛ a wɔyɛɛ bɔne na asase mu bue menee wɔn ne wɔn afie ne wɔn ntomadan ne biribiara a na nkwa wɔ mu a ɛyɛ wɔn agyapadeɛ no.
And what he did to Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab, the son of Reuben; when they went down into the open mouth of the earth, with their families and their tents and every living thing which was theirs, before the eyes of all Israel:
7 Na mode mo ani ahunu Awurade tumi nnwuma a ɔyɛeɛ nyinaa.
But your eyes have seen all the great works of the Lord which he has done.
8 Monni mmara a merehyɛ ama mo ɛnnɛ yi so sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a, mobɛnya ahoɔden akɔfa asase a morebɛtwa Yordan akɔ so akɔfa yi,
So keep all the orders which I give you today, so that you may be strong, and go in and take the land which is to be your heritage;
9 na mo nna aware asase a nufosuo ne ɛwoɔ resene wɔ so a Awurade kaa ntam kyerɛɛ mo agyanom sɛ ɔde bɛma wɔn ne wɔn asefoɔ no so.
And that your days may be long in the land which the Lord gave by an oath to your fathers and to their seed after them, a land flowing with milk and honey.
10 Asase a morebɛkɔ so no nte sɛ Misraim asase a mofiri so baeɛ no a na modua mfudeɛ a mode mo nan twa nsuka te sɛ deɛ moredua nhahannuane no.
For the land where you are going is not like the land of Egypt from which you have come, where you put in your seeds, watering them with your foot, like a planted garden:
11 Na asase a moretwa Yordan akɔfa no yɛ mmepɔ mmepɔ ne bɔnhwa a osuo tɔ wɔ hɔ yie
But the land where you are going is a land of hills and valleys, drinking in the rain of heaven:
12 a ɛyɛ asase a Awurade, mo Onyankopɔn, hwɛ so yie. Na daa Awurade mo Onyankopɔn ani wɔ so firi afe no ahyɛaseɛ kɔsi nʼawieeɛ.
A land cared for by the Lord your God: the eyes of the Lord your God are on it at all times from one end of the year to the other.
13 Sɛ moto mo bo ase tie me mmara a merehyɛ ama mo ɛnnɛ yi na mode mo akoma ne mo kra nyinaa dɔ Awurade, mo Onyankopɔn, na mosom no a,
And it will be that if you truly give ear to the orders which I put before you this day, loving the Lord your God and worshipping him with all your heart and all your soul,
14 ɛnneɛ, ɔbɛtɔ osuo ne berɛ mu ama mo na moatumi atwa nnɔbaeɛ de bi ayɛ nsã ne ngo.
Then I will send rain on your land at the right time, the early rains and the late rains, so that you may get in your grain and your wine and your oil.
15 Ɔbɛma mo ɛserɛ pii na mo anantwie awe na mo nso mobɛdidi amee.
And I will give grass in your fields for your cattle, so that you may have food in full measure.
16 Monnnane mo akoma mfiri Awurade so nkɔsom anyame foforɔ.
But take care that your hearts are not turned to false ways so that you become servants and worshippers of other gods;
17 Sɛ moyɛ saa a, Awurade Abufuo no bɛhuru atia mo. Ɔbɛto ɔsoro mu, agyina osutɔ, na mo nnɔbaetwa ayɛ basaa. Na ntɛm so, mobɛwuwu wɔ asase a Awurade de rema mo no so.
For if you do so, the wrath of the Lord will be burning against you, and the heaven will be shut up so that there is no rain and the land will give no fruit; and in a very little time you will be cut off from the good land which the Lord is giving you.
18 Enti, momma me nsɛm yi ntena mo akoma mu. Momfa nkyekyere mo nsa sɛ nkaedeɛ na momfa mmɔ abotire.
So keep these words deep in your heart and in your soul, and have them fixed on your hand for a sign and marked on your brow;
19 Monkyerɛkyerɛ mo mma. Sɛ mowɔ fie anaa monam ɛkwan so, sɛ moda hɔ anaa mosɔre anɔpa a, monkyerɛkyerɛ wɔn.
Teaching them to your children, and talking of them when you are at rest in your house or walking by the way, when you go to sleep and when you get up:
20 Montwerɛ ngu mo afie aponnwa ne mo abɔntenpono ho,
Writing them on the pillars of your houses and over the doors of your towns:
21 sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a, ɔsoro da so kata asase ani yi, mo ne mo mma ase bɛdɔre wɔ asase a Awurade kaa ntam sɛ ɔde bɛma mo agyanom no so.
So that your days, and the days of your children, may be long in the land which the Lord by his oath to your fathers said he would give them, like the days of the eternal heavens.
22 Monhwɛ yie na monni mmara a merehyɛ ama mo yi so; monnante Awurade, mo Onyankopɔn, akwan so na momfa mo ho mmata ne ho mfa nkyerɛ ɔdɔ a modɔ no.
For if you take care to keep all the orders which I give you, and to do them; loving the Lord your God and walking in all his ways and being true to him:
23 Ɛwom sɛ aman a wɔwɔ mo asase so yɛ den sen mo deɛ, nanso Awurade bɛpamo wɔn nyinaa.
Then the Lord will send these nations in flight before you, and you will take the lands of nations greater and stronger than yourselves.
24 Baabiara a mode mo nan bɛtia no, asase no bɛyɛ mo dea. Mo ahyeɛ bɛyɛ ɛfiri ɛserɛ so anafoɔ kɔsi Lebanon wɔ atifi fam de firi Asubɔnten Eufrate wɔ apueeɛ fam kɔsi Ntam Po no fam.
Every place where you put your foot will be yours: from the waste land and Lebanon, from the river, the river Euphrates as far as the Great Sea, will be the limits of your land.
25 Obiara rentumi nsɔre ntia mo, ɛfiri sɛ, Awurade, mo Onyankopɔn, bɛto mo ho hu ne mo ho suro adi mo anim sɛdeɛ ɔhyɛɛ mo bɔ no wɔ baabiara a mobɛkɔ wɔ asase no so.
All people will give way before you: for the Lord your God will put the fear of you on all the land through which you go, as he has said.
26 Hwɛ, ɛnnɛ mede nhyira ne nnome resi mo anim,
Today I put before you a blessing and a curse:
27 Sɛ modi Awurade, mo Onyankopɔn, mmara a merehyɛ ama mo ɛnnɛ yi so a, ɛbɛyɛ nhyira.
The blessing if you give ear to the orders of the Lord your God, which I give you this day:
28 Na sɛ mopo Awurade, mo Onyankopɔn mmara dane firi nʼakwan a merehyɛ mo ɛnnɛ yi so, kɔsom anyame foforɔ a, ɛbɛyɛ nnome.
And the curse if you do not give ear to the orders of the Lord your God, but let yourselves be turned from the way which I have put before you this day, and go after other gods which are not yours.
29 Na sɛ Awurade, mo Onyankopɔn, de mo duru asase a morekɔ so akɔfa no a, monka nhyira nsɛm mfiri Gerisim Bepɔ no so na monka nnome nsɛm nso mfiri Ebal Bepɔ so.
And when the Lord your God has taken you into the land of your heritage, you are to put the blessing on Mount Gerizim and the curse on Mount Ebal.
30 Saa mmepɔ mmienu yi wɔ Asubɔnten Yordan atɔeɛ fam, asase a na Kanaanfoɔ a na wɔte Yordan subɔnhwa a ɛbɛn kuro Gilgal no te hɔ. Na wɔwɔ atɔeɛ fam a ɛbɛn More kwaeɛ no.
Are they not on the other side of Jordan, looking west, in the land of the Canaanites living in the Arabah, opposite Gilgal, by the holy tree of Moreh?
31 Moreyɛ atwa Yordan akɔtena asase a Awurade, mo Onyankopɔn, de rema mo no so. Sɛ mokɔfa saa asase no kɔtena so a,
For you are about to go over Jordan to take the heritage which the Lord your God is giving you, and it will be your resting-place.
32 monhwɛ yie na monni mmara ne ahyɛdeɛ a mede rema mo ɛnnɛ yi so.
And you are to take care to keep all the laws and the decisions which I put before you today.
