5 Mose 26

1 Sɛ moduru asase a Awurade, mo Onyankopɔn, de rebɛma mo sɛ mo agyapadeɛ sononko no so, na moko gye tena so a,

Also when thou shalt come into the lande which the Lord thy God giueth thee for inheritance, and shalt possesse it, and dwell therein,

2 momfa otwakane wɔ otwa berɛ biara mu no ngu kɛntɛn mu na momfa mmra baabi a Awurade, mo Onyankopɔn, bɛyi sɛ wɔnkamfo ne din wɔ hɔ no.

Then shalt thou take of the first of all the fruite of the earth, and bring it out of the lande that the Lord thy God giueth thee, and put it in a basket, and goe vnto the place, which the Lord thy God shall chose to place his Name there.

3 Monkɔ ɔsɔfoɔ a ɔwɔ hɔ saa ɛberɛ no nkyɛn na monka nkyerɛ no sɛ, “Menam saa akyɛdeɛ yi so reda no adi sɛ Awurade, yɛn Onyankopɔn, de me aba asase a ɔhyɛɛ mʼagyanom bɔ no so.”

And thou shalt come vnto the Priest, that shall be in those dayes, and say vnto him, I acknowledge this day vnto the Lord thy God, that I am come vnto the countrey which the Lord sware vnto our fathers for to giue vs.

4 Afei, ɔsɔfoɔ no bɛgye kɛntɛn no afiri wo nsam de asi Awurade, mo Onyankopɔn afɔrebukyia no anim.

Then the Priest shall take the basket out of thine hand, and set it downe before the altar of the Lord thy God.

5 Na wobɛka saa nsɛm yi wɔ Awurade, mo Onyankopɔn, anim sɛ, “Na me tete agya Yakob yɛ otutenani Aramni a ɔkɔtenaa Misraim. Nʼabusua no yɛ ketewaa bi, nanso Misraim hɔ no, wɔdɔɔso bebree bɛyɛɛ ɔman kɛseɛ.

And thou shalt answere and say before the Lord thy God, A Syrian was my father, who being ready to perish for hunger, went downe into Egypt, and soiourned there with a small company, and grew there vnto a nation great, mightie and full of people.

6 Ɛberɛ a Misraimfoɔ dii yɛn nya nam so ma yɛyɛɛ wɔn nkoa no,

And the Egyptians vexed vs, and troubled vs, and laded vs with cruell bondage.

7 yɛsu frɛɛ Awurade, yɛn agyanom Onyankopɔn. Ɔtee yɛn sufrɛ na ɔhunuu yɛn amanehunu, ɔbrɛ ne ɔhyɛ a yɛwɔ mu.

But when we cried vnto the Lord God of our fathers, the Lord heard our voyce, and looked on our aduersitie, and on our labour, and on our oppression.

8 Enti, Awurade nam tumi a ɛyɛ nwanwa, ehubɔ a emu yɛ den, nsɛnkyerɛnneɛ a ɛpusu nnipa ne anwanwasɛm so gyee yɛn firii Misraim.

And the Lord brought vs out of Egypt in a mightie hande, and a stretched out arme, with great terriblenesse, both in signes and wonders.

9 Ɔde yɛn baa ha na ɔde asase yi a nufosuo ne ɛwoɔ resene so yi maa yɛn.

And he hath brought vs into this place, and hath giuen vs this land, euen a lande that floweth with milke and hony.

10 Afei, Ao Awurade, mede akyɛdeɛ a ɛyɛ mʼaduanekan a wode firi asase mu maa me no rebrɛ wo.” Afei, fa aduane no si Awurade, mo Onyankopɔn, anim na sɔre no.

And now, lo, I haue brought ye first fruites of the land which thou, O Lord, hast giuen me, and thou shalt set it before the Lord thy God, and worship before the Lord thy God:

11 Afei, kɔ na kɔgye wʼani wɔ nneɛma pa a Awurade, mo Onyankopɔn, de ama wo ne wo fiefoɔ no ho. Wʼanigyeɛ no mu, kae Lewifoɔ ne ahɔhoɔ a wɔte mo mu no nso.

And thou shalt reioyce in all the good things which the Lord thy God hath giuen vnto thee and to thine houshold, thou and the Leuite, and the stranger that is among you.

12 Mfeɛ mmiɛnsa biara, ɛsɛ sɛ moma mo mfudeɛ ho ntotosoɔ dudu sononko. Ɛsɛ sɛ mode saa ntotosoɔ dudu sononko no ma Lewifoɔ, ahɔhoɔ, nwisiaa ne akunafoɔ sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a, wɔbɛnya bi adi amee wɔ mo nkuro so.

When thou hast made an end of tithing all the tythes of thine increase, the thirde yeere, which is the yeere of tithing, and hast giuen it vnto the Leuite, to the stranger, to the fatherlesse, and to the widowe, that they may eate within thy gates, and be satisfied,

13 Afei, mompae mu nka wɔ Awurade, mo Onyankopɔn, anim sɛ, “Mede akyɛdeɛ kronkron a ɛfiri me fie ama Lewifoɔ, ahɔhoɔ, nwisiaa ne akunafoɔ sɛdeɛ wohyɛɛ me no. Memmuu wo mmara no bi so anaa me werɛ mfirii wo mmara no bi.

Then thou shalt say before the Lord thy God, I haue brought the halowed thing out of mine house, and also haue giuen it vnto the Leuites and to the strangers, to the fatherlesse, and to the widow, according to all thy comandements which thou hast commanded me: I haue transgressed none of thy comandements, nor forgotten them.

14 Manni bi ɛberɛ a meretwa adwo anaasɛ ɛberɛ a na me ho nte no. Afei nso, mamfa me nsa anka bi, na mamfa mu bi nso amma awufoɔ. Matie Awurade, me Onyankopɔn, na mayɛ biribiara a wohyɛɛ me sɛ menyɛ no.

I haue not eaten therof in my mourning, nor suffred ought to perish through vncleannes, nor giuen ought thereof for the dead, but haue hearkened vnto the voyce of the Lord my God: I haue done after al that thou hast comaded me.

15 Firi wo soro tenabea kronkron hɔ hwɛ fam na hyira wo nkurɔfoɔ Israel ne asase a wode ama yɛn no—asase a nufosuo ne ɛwoɔ retene wɔ so sɛdeɛ wohyɛɛ yɛn agyanom bɔ no.”

Looke downe from thine holy habitation, euen from heauen, and blesse thy people Israel, and the lande which thou hast giuen vs (as thou swarest vnto our fathers) the land that floweth with milke and hony.

16 Awurade, mo Onyankopɔn, hyɛ mo ɛnnɛ sɛ, monni saa mmara yi nyinaa so; momfa mo akoma ne mo kra nyinaa nni so.

This day the Lord thy God doeth command thee to do these ordinances, and lawes: keepe them therefore, and do them with al thine heart, and with all thy soule.

17 Moapae mu aka no ɛnnɛ sɛ, Awurade yɛ, mo Onyankopɔn, na mobɛnante nʼakwan so na mobɛdi ne mmara so ayɛ ɔsetie ama no.

Thou hast set vp the Lord this day to be thy God, and to walke in his wayes, and to keepe his ordinances, and his commandements, and his lawes, and to hearken vnto his voyce.

18 Na Awurade aka no ɛnnɛ sɛ, moyɛ ne nkurɔfoɔ, nʼagyapadeɛ a nʼakoma da ho sɛdeɛ ɔhyɛɛ bɔ no; ɛno enti, ɛsɛ sɛ modi ne mmara nyinaa so.

And the Lord hath set thee vp this day, to be a precious people vnto him (as hee hath promised thee) and that thou shouldest keepe all his commandements,

19 Na sɛ moyɛ saa a, ɔbɛyɛ mo kɛseɛ asene ɔman biara. Afei, mobɛnya nkamfoɔ, animuonyam, na mo din bɛhyeta. Mobɛyɛ ɔman a ɛyɛ kronkron ma Awurade, mo Onyankopɔn sɛdeɛ ɔhyɛɛ bɔ no.

And to make thee high aboue al nations (which he hath made) in praise, and in name, and in glory, and that thou shouldest be an holy people vnto the Lord thy God, as he hath said.
