5 Mose 16

1 Daa monni Twam Afahyɛ no wɔ ɔbosome Abib no mu mma Awurade, mo Onyankopɔn, ɛfiri sɛ, ɔbosome Abib mu ɛda bi anadwo na Onyankopɔn yii mo firii Misraim.

Observe the month of the aviv, and keep the passover unto YHWH thy Elohim: for in the month of the aviv YHWH thy Elohim brought thee forth out of Egypt by night.

2 Monkum anantwie anaa nnwan sɛ Twam Afahyɛ afɔrebɔdeɛ mma Awurade, mo Onyankopɔn, wɔ baabi a Awurade bɛyi sɛ atenaeɛ wɔ ne din mu.

Thou shalt therefore sacrifice the passover unto YHWH thy Elohim, of the flock and the herd, in the place which YHWH shall choose to place his name there.

3 Monnni burodo a mmɔreka wɔ mu; monni burodo a mmɔreka nni mu nnanson, ɛfiri sɛ, ɔherɛ so na mofirii Misraim sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a, mo nkwa nna nyinaa mobɛkae ɛberɛ a motu firii Misraim no.

Thou shalt eat no leavened bread with it; seven days shalt thou eat unleavened bread therewith, even the bread of affliction; for thou camest forth out of the land of Egypt in haste: that thou mayest remember the day when thou camest forth out of the land of Egypt all the days of thy life.

4 Mommma wɔnhunu mmɔreka wɔ mo nkyɛn wɔ mo nsase nyinaa so nnanson. Mommma ɛnam a mode bɔɔ afɔdeɛ ɛda a ɛdi ɛkan no anwummerɛ no nnka ogya so nkɔsi anɔpa.

And there shall be no leavened bread seen with thee in all thy coast seven days; neither shall there any thing of the flesh, which thou sacrificedst the first day at even, remain all night until the morning.

5 Monnni Twam Afahyɛ no wɔ nkuro a Awurade, mo Onyankopɔn, de rema mo no so.

Thou mayest not sacrifice the passover within any of thy gates, which YHWH thy Elohim giveth thee:

6 Baabi a Awurade mo Onyankopɔn bɛyi sɛ wɔnkamfo ne din wɔ hɔ no na monni Twam Afahyɛ no. Sɛ owia rekɔtɔ a na monni mfa nkae mo Misraim firi berɛ no.

But at the place which YHWH thy Elohim shall choose to place his name in, there thou shalt sacrifice the passover at even, at the going down of the sun, at the season that thou camest forth out of Egypt.

7 Montoto na monwe no wɔ faako a Awurade, mo Onyankopɔn, bɛyi ama mo no. Na adeɛ kye a, monkɔ mo ntomadan mu.

And thou shalt roast and eat it in the place which YHWH thy Elohim shall choose: and thou shalt turn in the morning, and go unto thy tents.

8 Nnansia na momfa nni burodo a wɔmfaa mmɔreka mfraeɛ. Na ne nnanson so, nnipa no nyinaa nhyia wɔ Awurade, mo Onyankopɔn, anim. Na saa ɛda no, obiara nnyɛ adwuma.

Six days thou shalt eat unleavened bread: and on the seventh day shall be a solemn assembly to YHWH thy Elohim: thou shalt do no work therein.

9 Ɛberɛ a wɔrebɛfiri aseɛ atwa aburoo no na monkan nnanson no.

Seven weeks shalt thou number unto thee: begin to number the seven weeks from such time as thou beginnest to put the sickle to the corn.

10 Monni Nnapɛn Dapɔnna ma Awurade, mo Onyankopɔn, na mommɔ ayamyɛ afɔdeɛ sɛdeɛ nhyira a Awurade, mo Onyankopɔn, ahyira mo no sɛso so.

And thou shalt keep the feast of weeks unto YHWH thy Elohim with a tribute of a freewill offering of thine hand, which thou shalt give unto YHWH thy Elohim, according as YHWH thy Elohim hath blessed thee:

11 Na monnye mo ani wɔ Awurade, mo Onyankopɔn, anim wɔ baabi a ɔbɛyi sɛ atenaeɛ a wɔbɛkamfo ne din no—mone no mo mmammarima ne mo mmammaa, mo nkoa ne mo mfenaa, Lewifoɔ a wɔwɔ mo nkuro mu ne ahɔhoɔ, nwisiaa ne akunafoɔ a wɔne mo teɛ.

And thou shalt rejoice before YHWH thy Elohim, thou, and thy son, and thy daughter, and thy manservant, and thy maidservant, and the Levite that is within thy gates, and the stranger, and the fatherless, and the widow, that are among you, in the place which YHWH thy Elohim hath chosen to place his name there.

12 Monkae sɛ, na moyɛ nkoa wɔ Misraim enti monhwɛ yie na monni saa mmara yi nyinaa so.

And thou shalt remember that thou wast a bondman in Egypt: and thou shalt observe and do these statutes.

13 Sɛ moboaboa mo ayuporobea ne mo nsakyimena mu adeɛ ano wie a, momfa nnanson nni Asese Afahyɛ no.

Thou shalt observe the feast of tabernacles seven days, after that thou hast gathered in thy corn and thy wine:

14 Saa afahyɛ yi bɛyɛ ahotɔ ne ahosɛpɛ berɛ ama mo ne mo abusuafoɔ, mo asomfoɔ ne Lewifoɔ, ahɔhoɔ, nwisiaa ne akunafoɔ a wɔfiri mo nkuro mu.

And thou shalt rejoice in thy feast, thou, and thy son, and thy daughter, and thy manservant, and thy maidservant, and the Levite, the stranger, and the fatherless, and the widow, that are within thy gates.

15 Nnanson na momfa nni saa afahyɛ yi mfa nhyɛ Awurade, mo Onyankopɔn, animuonyam wɔ baabi a ɔbɛyi, ɛfiri sɛ, Awurade mo Onyankopɔn na ɔma mo mfudeɛ bɔ pii na ɔhyira mo nnwuma nyinaa so. Saa afahyɛ yi yɛ ahosɛpɛ ma obiara.

Seven days shalt thou keep a solemn feast unto YHWH thy Elohim in the place which YHWH shall choose: because YHWH thy Elohim shall bless thee in all thine increase, and in all the works of thine hands, therefore thou shalt surely rejoice.

16 Afe biara mu, ɛsɛ sɛ mo mmarima hyia wɔ mo Awurade, mo Onyankopɔn anim baabi a ɔbɛyi no mprɛnsa de ma Apiti Afahyɛ, Otwa berɛ Afahyɛ ne Asese Afahyɛ no. Ɛnsɛ sɛ obiara ba Awurade anim nsapan.

Three times in a year shall all thy males appear before YHWH thy Elohim in the place which he shall choose; in the feast of unleavened bread, and in the feast of weeks, and in the feast of tabernacles: and they shall not appear before YHWH empty:

17 Obiara mma deɛ ne nsa bɛso so wɔ sɛdeɛ Awurade mo Onyankopɔn ahyira no.

Every man shall give as he is able, according to the blessing of YHWH thy Elohim which he hath given thee.

18 Monsisi atemmufoɔ ne mpanimfoɔ mfiri mo mmusuakuo biara mu wɔ nkuro a Awurade, mo Onyankopɔn de rema mo no mu. Wɔbɛbu atɛntenenee wɔ nsase no nyinaa so.

Judges and officers shalt thou make thee in all thy gates, which YHWH thy Elohim giveth thee, throughout thy tribes: and they shall judge the people with just judgment.

19 Mommmu ntɛnkyea da biara da. Monnnye adanmudeɛ, ɛfiri sɛ, adanmudeɛ fira anyansafoɔ ani ma wɔsi gyinaeɛ de tia onyamesuroni asɛm.

Thou shalt not wrest judgment; thou shalt not respect persons, neither take a gift: for a gift doth blind the eyes of the wise, and pervert the words of the righteous.

20 Momma asɛntenenee nna adi sɛdeɛ ɛbɛma moatumi atena asase a Awurade mo Onyankopɔn de rema mo no so.

That which is altogether just shalt thou follow, that thou mayest live, and inherit the land which YHWH thy Elohim giveth thee.

21 Monnsisi nnua biara sɛ abosompɔ wɔ Awurade mo Onyankopɔn afɔrebukyia a morebɛsi ama no no ho.

Thou shalt not plant thee a grove of any trees near unto the altar of YHWH thy Elohim, which thou shalt make thee.

22 Saa ara nso na monnsi aboɔ adum nsom wɔn, ɛfiri sɛ, ɛyɛ Awurade mo Onyankopɔn akyiwadeɛ.

Neither shalt thou set thee up any image; which YHWH thy Elohim hateth.
