5 Mose 29

1 Yei ne nhyehyɛeɛ a ɛwɔ apam a Awurade hyɛɛ Mose sɛ ɔne Israelfoɔ no nyɛ wɔ Moab nka apam a ɔne wɔn yɛɛ no wɔ Horeb no.

These [are] the words of the covenant which the LORD commanded Moses to make with the children of Israel in the land of Moab, besides the covenant which he made with them in Horeb.

2 Mose frɛɛ Israelfoɔ no nyinaa ka kyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ: Mo ahunu deɛ Awurade yɛɛ Farao ne ne mpanimfoɔ ne ne ɔman nyinaa wɔ Misraim no.

And Moses called to all Israel, and said to them, Ye have seen all that the LORD did before your eyes in the land of Egypt to Pharaoh, and to all his servants, and to all his land;

3 Mo ankasa mohunuu sɔhwɛ akɛseɛ, nsɛnkyerɛnneɛ a ɛyɛ hu ne anwanwadeɛ akɛseɛ no.

The great temptations which thy eyes have seen, the signs, and those great miracles:

4 Nanso, ɛbɛsi ɛnnɛ yi, Awurade mmaa mo adwene a ɛte asɛm ase anaa ani a ɛhunu adeɛ anaa aso a ɛte asɛm.

Yet the LORD hath not given you a heart to perceive, and eyes to see, and ears to hear, to this day.

5 Mfeɛ aduanan mu a medii mo anim faa ɛserɛ so no, mo ntoma antete; saa ara na mo mpaboa a ɛhyɛ mo nan nso anhi.

And I have led you forty years in the wilderness: your clothes have not become old upon you, and thy shoe hath not become old upon thy foot.

6 Moanni aduane, annom nsã anaa nsã a ano yɛ den. Meyɛɛ saa sɛdeɛ mobɛhunu sɛ mene Awurade, mo Onyankopɔn, no.

Ye have not eaten bread, neither have ye drank wine or strong drink: that ye might know that I [am] the LORD your God.

7 Yɛduruu ha no, Hesbonhene Sihon ne Basanhene Og ba bɛko tiaa yɛn, nanso, yɛdii wɔn so.

And when ye came to this place, Sihon the king of Heshbon, and Og the king of Bashan, came out against us to battle, and we smote them:

8 Yɛfaa wɔn asase de maa Ruben ne Gad mmusuakuo ne Manase abusuakuo fa no sɛ wɔn agyapadeɛ.

And we took their land, and gave it for an inheritance to the Reubenites, and to the Gadites, and to the half-tribe of Manasseh.

9 Ɛno enti, monni saa apam yi so sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a, biribiara a mobɛyɛ no bɛyɛ yie.

Keep therefore the words of this covenant, and do them, that ye may prosper in all that ye do.

10 Mo nyinaa—mo mmusuakuo mpanimfoɔ, mo atemmufoɔ, mo ahwɛfoɔ ne Israel mmarima nyinaa, ɛnnɛ mogyina Awurade, mo Onyankopɔn, anim,

Ye stand this day all of you before the LORD your God; your captains of your tribes, your elders, and your officers, [with] all the men of Israel,

11 mo ne mo mma ne mo yerenom ne ahɔhoɔ a wɔte mo mu a wɔbu mo nnua, soa mo nsuo.

Your little ones, your wives, and thy stranger that [is] in thy camp, from the hewer of thy wood to the drawer of thy water:

12 Mogyina ha sɛ mo ne Awurade, mo Onyankopɔn, rebɛyɛ apam, apam a Awurade ne mo reyɛ ɛnnɛ. Ɔde ntam bɛsɔ ano,

That thou shouldst enter into covenant with the LORD thy God, and into his oath, which the LORD thy God maketh with thee this day:

13 na wasi so gyinaeɛ sɛ ɛnnɛ, moyɛ ne nkurɔfoɔ na ɔno nso bɛyɛ mo Onyankopɔn sɛdeɛ ɔhyɛɛ mo bɔ no na ɔkaa ntam kyerɛɛ mo agyanom Abraham, Isak ne Yakob no.

That he may establish thee to-day for a people to himself, and [that] he may be to thee a God, as he hath said to thee, and as he hath sworn to thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.

14 Mereyɛ saa apam yi a ne ntam bata ho. Apam yi, ɛnyɛ mo a

Neither with you only do I make this covenant and this oath;

15 mo ne yɛn gyina ha ɛnnɛ wɔ Awurade mo Onyankopɔn anim no nko dea. Na mmom ɛwɔ hɔ ma wɔn a wɔnni ha nso.

But with [him] that standeth here with us this day before the LORD our God, and also with [him] that [is] not here with us this day:

16 Mo ankasa monim sɛdeɛ yɛtenaa Misraim ne sɛdeɛ yɛreba ha no yɛfaa aman so bɛsii ha.

(For ye know how we have dwelt in the land of Egypt; and how we came through the nations which ye passed by;

17 Mohunuu akyiwadeɛ ahoni a wɔde nnua ne aboɔ ne dwetɛ ne sikakɔkɔɔ ayɛ wɔ wɔn nkyɛn.

And ye have seen their abominations, and their idols, wood and stone, silver and gold, which [were] among them: )

18 Monhwɛ yie sɛ ɔbarima anaa ɔbaa anaa abusua biara a wɔwɔ mo mu ɛnnɛ no mu biara akoma rennane mfiri Awurade, mo Onyankopɔn, ho nkɔsom saa aman yi anyame; monhunu sɛ, duhini biara nni mo mu a ɛpu bɔnwoma a ɛyɛ nwono saa.

Lest there should be among you man, or woman, or family, or tribe, whose heart turneth away this day from the LORD our God, to go [and] serve the gods of these nations; lest there should be among you a root that beareth gall and wormwood;

19 Ɛnsɛ sɛ obiara a ɔte nnome ho kɔkɔbɔ nsɛm yi susu sɛ ɔno deɛ hwee renka no. Mma no nka wɔ ne tirim sɛ, “Me ho sɔnn, ɛmfa ho sɛ menam asoɔden kwan so.” Yei de ɔsɛeɛ a ɛso bɛba.

And it should come to pass, when he heareth the words of this curse, that he should bless himself in his heart, saying, I shall have peace, though I walk in the imagination of my heart, to add drunkenness to thirst:

20 Awurade remfa nkyɛ saa nnipa no. Nʼabufuo ne ne ninkunu bɛhye atia wɔn. Nnome a wɔatwerɛ no saa nwoma yi mu nyinaa bɛba wɔn so na Awurade bɛpepa wɔn din afiri ɔsoro ase.

The LORD will not spare him, but then the anger of the LORD and his jealousy shall smoke against that man, and all the curses that are written in this book shall lie upon him, and the LORD shall blot out his name from under heaven.

21 Awurade bɛtwe wɔn afiri Israel mmusuakuo nyinaa mu na wahwie apam no mu nnome nyinaa a wɔatwerɛ wɔ saa mmara nwoma no mu agu wɔn so.

And the LORD shall separate him to evil out of all the tribes of Israel according to all the curses of the covenant that are written in this book of the law:

22 Afei, nkyirimma a wɔbɛba, wɔn a wɔfiri mo ase ne wɔn a wɔfiri ahɔhoɔ ase a wɔfiri akyirikyiri asase so bɛhunu asase no sɛeɛ ne nyarewa a Awurade de bɛbrɛ asase no.

So that the generation to come of your children that shall arise after you, and the stranger that shall come from a distant land, shall say, when they see the plagues of that land, and the sicknesses which the LORD hath laid upon it;

23 Wɔbɛhunu sɛ, wɔn asase no dɔteɛ adane sɔfe ne nkyene a wɔdua so biribiara a ɛnyɛ yie, na hwee nso nnyini wɔ so—mpo, ɛserɛ ahahan. Ɛbɛyɛ te sɛ Sodom ne Gomora, Adma ne Seboim a Awurade sɛee no nʼabufuo mu no.

[And that] the whole land of it is brimstone, and salt, [and] burning, [that] it is not sown, nor doth it bear, nor doth any grass grow in it, like the overthrow of Sodom, and Gomorrah, Admah, and Zeboim, which the LORD overthrew in his anger and in his wrath:

24 Aman a atwa ahyia no bɛbisa sɛ, “Adɛn enti na Awurade ayɛ saa asase yi saa? Adɛn enti na ne bo fu denden saa?”

Even all the nations shall say, Why hath the LORD done thus to this land? what [meaneth] the heat of this great anger?

25 Na wɔbɛka akyerɛ wɔn sɛ, “Saa asɛm yi siiɛ, ɛfiri sɛ, nnipa a wɔwɔ asase no so buu apam a wɔne Awurade, wɔn agyanom Onyankopɔn yɛeɛ ɛberɛ a ɔyii wɔn firii Misraim asase so.

Then men shall say, Because they have forsaken the covenant of the LORD God of their fathers, which he made with them when he brought them forth from the land of Egypt:

26 Wɔdane kɔsom anyame foforɔ a wɔyɛ ahɔhoɔ ma wɔn, anyame a Awurade nkyerɛɛ wɔn sɛ wɔnsom.

For they went and served other gods, and worshiped them, gods which they knew not, and which he had not given to them:

27 Ɛno enti na Awurade abufuo dɛre tiaa saa asase yi, nam so de nnome a wɔatwerɛ wɔ saa nwoma yi mu no baa wɔn so no.

And the anger of the LORD was kindled against this land, to bring upon it all the curses that are written in this book:

28 Abufuhyeɛ mu, Awurade tutuu ne nkurɔfoɔ ase firii wɔn asase so twaa wɔn asuo de wɔn kɔguu asase foforɔ a wɔte so seesei no.”

And the LORD rooted them out of their land in anger and in wrath, and in great indignation, and cast them into another land, as [it is] this day.

29 Ahintasɛm nyinaa firi Awurade mo Onyankopɔn hɔ, na nneɛma a wada no adi akyerɛ yɛn ne yɛn asefoɔ no, ɛsɛ sɛ yɛhyɛ no nso, sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a, yɛbɛdi ne mmaransɛm yi so.

The secret [things belong] to the LORD our God: but those [things which are] revealed [belong] to us, and to our children for ever, that we may do all the words of this law.
