5 Mose 25

1 Sɛ akasakasa si mmarima baanu ntam a, wɔmfa asɛm no nkɔ asɛnniiɛ na ɔtemmufoɔ no nni asɛm no. Ɔbɛgyaa deɛ ɔdi bem no na wɔatwe deɛ ɔdi fɔ no aso.

If there is a controversy between men, and they come to judgment, and the judges judge them; then they shall justify the righteous, and condemn the wicked;

2 Sɛ ɔbarima a ɔdi fɔ no fata sɛ wɔtwa no mmaa a, ɔtemmufoɔ no bɛma no ada hɔ na watwa no mmaa dodoɔ a ɛfata ne bɔne no wɔ nʼanim.

and it shall be if the wicked man deserves to be beaten, that the judge shall make him lie down and be beaten in his presence with a number of stripes, according to his guilt.

3 Nanso, ɛnsɛ sɛ wɔtwa no mmaa boro aduanan. Sɛ wɔtwa no boro saa a, na wɔagu wo nua anim ase wɔ wʼanim.

He may give him forty stripes and no more. Otherwise, if he should go on and beat him with more stripes than these, your brother will be humiliated in your eyes.

4 Nkyekyere nantwie a ɔreporo atokoɔ ano.

You shall not muzzle the ox when he treads out the grain.

5 Sɛ nuammarima baanu te fie na wɔn mu baako wu a wanwo ɔba a, ɛnsɛ sɛ okunafoɔ no kɔware ɔhɔhoɔ. Mmom, ne kunu a wawuo no nuabarima na ɛsɛ sɛ ɔware okunafoɔ no, na wayɛ okunu nua asɛdeɛ ama okunafoɔ no.

If brothers dwell together, and one of them die, and have no son, the wife of the dead shall not be married outside to a stranger: her husband's brother shall go in to her, and take her to him as wife, and perform the duty of a husband's brother to her.

6 Abakan a wɔbɛwo no no, wɔde no bɛto nʼagya a wawuo no sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a, owufoɔ no din rempepa mfiri Israel.

It shall be, that the firstborn whom she bears shall succeed in the name of his brother who is dead, that his name not be blotted out of Israel.

7 Na sɛ ɛba sɛ owufoɔ no nuabarima mpɛ sɛ ɔware ne nua no yere no a, ɔbaa no bɛkɔ kuro no mpanimfoɔ nkyɛn wɔ kuro no ɛpono ano akɔka akyerɛ wɔn sɛ, “Me kunu nua no mpɛ sɛ ne nua no din bɛka Israel. Ɔrentumi nyɛ okunu nua asɛdeɛ mma me.”

If the man doesn't want to take his brother's wife, then his brother's wife shall go up to the gate to the elders, and say, "My husband's brother refuses to raise up to his brother a name in Israel; he will not perform the duty of a husband's brother to me."

8 Afei, ɔbarima no kurom mpanimfoɔ bɛfrɛ no akasa akyerɛ no. Sɛ ɔse pene ara na ɔrempene no so a, ɔbɛka sɛ, “Mempɛ sɛ meware no” a,

Then the elders of his city shall call him, and speak to him: and if he stand, and say, "I do not want to take her";

9 okunafoɔ no bɛkɔ ɔbarima no anim a mpanimfoɔ no nso wɔ hɔ bi. Ɔbɛworɔ ɔbarima no mpaboa baako, ate ntasuo agu nʼanim na waka sɛ, “Sei na ɛsɛ sɛ wɔyɛ ɔbarima a ɔmpɛ sɛ ɔtoa ne nua abusua so.”

then his brother's wife shall come to him in the presence of the elders, and loose his shoe from off his foot, and spit in his face; and she shall answer and say, "So shall it be done to the man who does not build up his brother's house."

10 Wɔbɛfrɛ saa onipa no asefoɔ wɔ Israel sɛ abusua a wɔaworɔ wɔn mpaboa.

His name shall be called in Israel, The house of him who has his shoe untied.

11 Sɛ Israelfoɔ mmarima baanu reko na wɔn mu baako yere pɛ sɛ ɔboa ne kunu enti, ɔsɔ ɔbarima baako no barima mu a,

When men strive together one with another, and the wife of the one draws near to deliver her husband out of the hand of him who strikes him, and puts forth her hand, and takes him by the private parts;

12 ɛsɛ sɛ wɔtwa ɔbaa no nsa no a ahummɔborɔ biara nni mu.

then you shall cut off her hand, your eye shall have no pity.

13 Momfa nsania papa nkari adwadeɛ

You shall not have in your bag diverse weights, a great and a small.

14 na monsusu adwadeɛ no pɛpɛɛpɛ.

You shall not have in your house diverse measures, a great and a small.

15 Aane, momfa nsania pa na monsusu adwadeɛ nso pɛpɛɛpɛ na moanya nkwa nna tenten wɔ asase a Awurade, mo Onyankopɔn, de rema mo no so.

You shall have a perfect and just weight. You shall have a perfect and just measure, that your days may be long in the land which Jehovah your God gives you.

16 Wɔn a wɔfa nsania bɔne ne nkontompo so kari adwadeɛ no yɛ Awurade, mo Onyankopɔn, akyiwadeɛ.

For all who do such things, all who do unrighteously, are an abomination to Jehovah your God.

17 Mommma mo werɛ mfiri deɛ Amalekfoɔ yɛɛ mo ɛberɛ a mofiri Misraim reba no ɛda biara da.

Remember what Amalek did to you by the way as you came forth out of Egypt;

18 Wɔto hyɛɛ mo so ɛberɛ a moabrɛbrɛ na moatotɔ baha no, na wɔn a wɔaka akyi no nso, wɔbobɔɔ wɔn hwehwee fam. Na wɔnsuro Onyankopɔn.

how he met you by the way, and struck the hindmost of you, all who lagged behind you, when you were faint and weary; and he did not fear God.

19 Ɛno enti, sɛ Awurade mo Onyankopɔn ma mo ahomegyeɛ firi mo atamfoɔ nyinaa nsam wɔ asase a ɔde rema mo sɛ agyapadeɛ sononko no so a, ɛsɛ sɛ mosɛe Amalekfoɔ, na yɛankae wɔn bio wɔ asase yi so. Mommma mo werɛ mfiri yei da!

Therefore it shall be, when Jehovah your God has given you rest from all your enemies all around, in the land which Jehovah your God gives you for an inheritance to possess it, that you shall blot out the memory of Amalek from under the sky; you shall not forget.
