And Moses and the elders of Israel commanded the people, saying, Keep all the commandment which I command you this day.

2 Sɛ motwa Yordan kɔduru asase a Awurade, mo Onyankopɔn de rema mo no so a, monhyehyɛ aboɔ akɛseɛ na momfa akaadoo nsra ho.

And it shall be on the day when ye shall pass over the Jordan to the land which Jehovah thy God gives thee, that thou shall set up for thee great stones, and plaster them with plaster.

And thou shall write upon them all the words of this law when thou have passed over, that thou may go in to the land which Jehovah thy God gives thee, a land flowing with milk and honey, as Jehovah, the God of thy fathers, has promised thee.

4 Na sɛ motwa Yordan a, monhyehyɛ aboɔ no wɔ Ebal bepɔ so sɛdeɛ merehyɛ mo ɛnnɛ yi na momfa akaadoo no mfa ho.

And it shall be, when ye have passed over the Jordan, that ye shall set up these stones, which I command you this day, in mount Ebal, and thou shall plaster them with plaster.

5 Monsi afɔrebukyia, aboɔ afɔrebukyia wɔ hɔ mma Awurade, mo Onyankopɔn. Mommfa dadeɛ biribiara nka.

And there thou shall build an altar to Jehovah thy God, an altar of stones. Thou shall lift up no iron upon them.

6 Momfa aboɔ nkunkuma nsi Awurade, mo Onyankopɔn afɔrebukyia no na mommɔ ɔhyeɛ afɔdeɛ wɔ so mma Awurade, mo Onyankopɔn.

Thou shall build the altar of Jehovah thy God of unhewn stones. And thou shall offer burnt offerings on it to Jehovah thy God.

7 Mommɔ asomdwoeɛ afɔdeɛ nso wɔ so na momfa anigyeɛ nnidi wɔ hɔ wɔ Awurade, mo Onyankopɔn, anim.

And thou shall sacrifice peace offerings, and shall eat there, and thou shall rejoice before Jehovah thy God.

8 Montwerɛ mmara no mu nhyehyɛeɛ nyinaa pɛpɛɛpɛ ngu aboɔ a wɔde akaadoo aka so no so.”

And thou shall write upon the stones all the words of this law very plainly.

And Moses and the priests the Levites spoke to all Israel, saying, Keep silence, and hearken, O Israel. This day thou have become the people of Jehovah thy God.

10 Monyɛ ɔsetie mma Awurade, mo Onyankopɔn, na monni ne mmara ne nʼahyɛdeɛ a mede rema mo ɛnnɛ yi so.”

Thou shall therefore obey the voice of Jehovah thy God, and do his commandments and his statutes, which I command thee this day.
