< 5 Mose 30 >
1 Sɛ nhyira ne nnome a mede ato mo anim no nyinaa ba mo so wɔ baabiara a Awurade mo Onyankopɔn bɛhwete mo akɔ wɔ aman no mu,
“When all these things come upon you—the blessings and curses I have set before you—and you call them to mind in all the nations to which the LORD your God has banished you,
2 na mo ne mo mma sane ba Awurade, mo Onyankopɔn, nkyɛn, na mode mo akoma ne mo kra nyinaa yɛ ɔsetie ma no sɛdeɛ merekyerɛ mo ɛnnɛ yi a,
and when you and your children return to the LORD your God and obey His voice with all your heart and all your soul according to everything I am giving you today,
3 ɛnneɛ, Awurade, mo Onyankopɔn de mo akradeɛ bɛma mo, na wahunu mo mmɔbɔ, na waboaboa mo ano bio afiri amanaman a ɔbɔɔ mo hwete kɔɔ so no nyinaa, asane de mo aba bio.
then He will restore you from captivity and have compassion on you and gather you from all the nations to which the LORD your God has scattered you.
4 Sɛ mpo, wɔapam mo kɔ akyirikyiri asase bi a ɛwɔ ɔsoro ase a, ɛfiri hɔ no, Awurade, mo Onyankopɔn, bɛboaboa mo ano asane de mo aba bio.
Even if you have been banished to the farthest horizon, He will gather you and return you from there.
5 Awurade Onyankopɔn de mo bɛba asase a ɛyɛ mo agyanom dea so, na moafa sɛ agyapadeɛ. Ɔbɛma mo adi yie na mo adɔɔso asene mo agyanom.
And the LORD your God will bring you into the land your fathers possessed, and you will take possession of it. He will cause you to prosper and multiply more than your fathers.
6 Awurade, mo Onyankopɔn, bɛtene mo ne mo asefoɔ akoma so sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a, mode mo akoma ne mo kra nyinaa bɛdɔ no na moatena.
The LORD your God will circumcise your hearts and the hearts of your descendants, and you will love Him with all your heart and with all your soul, so that you may live.
7 Awurade, mo Onyankopɔn, de saa nnome yi nyinaa bɛgu mo atamfoɔ ne wɔn a wɔtaa mo no so.
Then the LORD your God will put all these curses upon your enemies who hate you and persecute you.
8 Afei, mobɛsane atie, adi Awurade mmara a mede rema mo ɛnnɛ no so.
And you will again obey the voice of the LORD and follow all His commandments I am giving you today.
9 Awurade, mo Onyankopɔn, bɛma biribiara a moyɛ no asi mo yie. Ɔbɛma mo mma pii. Mo nyɛmmoa bɛdɔɔso. Na mo mfuo mu nnɔbaeɛ nso bɛbu so, ɛfiri sɛ, Awurade, mo Onyankopɔn, ani bɛgye sɛ ɔbɛma mo adi yie sɛdeɛ na ɔyɛ mo agyanom no.
So the LORD your God will make you abound in all the work of your hands and in the fruit of your womb, the offspring of your livestock, and the produce of your land. Indeed, the LORD will again delight in your goodness, as He delighted in that of your fathers,
10 Sɛ motie Awurade, mo Onyankopɔn, nne, na modi nʼahyɛdeɛ ne ne mmara a wɔatwerɛ wɔ saa mmara nwoma no mu no so, na mode mo akoma ne mo kra dɔ no a, nʼani bɛgye mo yiedie ho.
if you obey the LORD your God by keeping His commandments and statutes that are written in this Book of the Law, and if you turn to Him with all your heart and with all your soul.
11 Nokorɛm, saa mmara a merehyɛ ama mo ɛnnɛ yi sodie nyɛ den, na ɛnyɛ adeɛ a morentumi nyɛ nso.
For this commandment I give you today is not too difficult for you or beyond your reach.
12 Ɛnni soro a enti mobɛka sɛ, “Hwan na ɔbɛkɔ soro ama yɛn na wakɔgye abrɛ yɛn, na yɛate adi so?”
It is not in heaven, that you should need to ask, ‘Who will ascend into heaven to get it for us and proclaim it, that we may obey it?’
13 Saa ara nso na ɛnni ɛpo agya a enti mobɛka sɛ, “Hwan na ɔbɛtwa akɔ ɛpo fa nohoa ama yɛn na wakɔgye abrɛ yɛn, na yɛate adi so?”
And it is not beyond the sea, that you should need to ask, ‘Who will cross the sea to get it for us and proclaim it, that we may obey it?’
14 Dabi, asɛm no abɛn wo. Ɛda wʼano, na ɛwɔ wʼakoma mu. Ɛno enti, monni so.
But the word is very near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart, so that you may obey it.
15 Montie, ɛnnɛ, mede nkwa ne nkɔsoɔ, owuo ne ɔsɛeɛ asi mo anim.
See, I have set before you today life and goodness, as well as death and disaster.
16 Sɛ motie Awurade, mo Onyankopɔn, mmara a merehyɛ ama mo ɛnnɛ yi, nam so dɔ Awurade, mo Onyankopɔn, nante nʼakwan mu, di ne mmara so a, mobɛnya nkwa na mo ase adɔre, na Awurade, mo Onyankopɔn bɛhyira mo wɔ asase a morekɔ akɔtena so no so.
For I am commanding you today to love the LORD your God, to walk in His ways, and to keep His commandments, statutes, and ordinances, so that you may live and increase, and the LORD your God may bless you in the land that you are entering to possess.
17 Nanso sɛ mo akoma dane, sɛ moanyɛ ɔsetie, na sɛ wɔtwe mo kɔkoto anyame foforɔ, na mosom wɔn a,
But if your heart turns away and you do not listen, but are drawn away to bow down to other gods and worship them,
18 mepae mu ka kyerɛ mo ɛnnɛ sɛ, nokorɛm wɔbɛsɛe mo; morentena asase a moretwa Yordan akɔ so akɔfa sɛ agyapadeɛ no so nkyɛ.
I declare to you today that you will surely perish; you shall not prolong your days in the land that you are crossing the Jordan to possess.
19 Nnɛ mede nkwa ne owuo, nhyira ne nnome, asi mo anim sɛ monyi deɛ mopɛ. Mefrɛ ɔsoro ne asase sɛ adansefoɔ. Momfa nkwa, sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a, mo ne mo asefoɔ bɛnya nkwa!
I call heaven and earth as witnesses against you today that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing. Therefore choose life, so that you and your descendants may live,
20 Monnɔ Awurade, mo Onyankopɔn. Monyɛ ɔsetie mma no, na momfa mo ho mma no, ɛfiri sɛ, ɔno ne mo nkwa. Ɛno na mobɛtena ase akyɛre wɔ asase a Awurade kaa ntam sɛ ɔde bɛma mo tete agyanom Abraham, Isak ne Yakob no.
and that you may love the LORD your God, obey Him, and hold fast to Him. For He is your life, and He will prolong your life in the land that the LORD swore to give to your fathers, to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.”
