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,
'And it hath been, when all these things come upon thee, the blessing and the reviling, which I have set before thee, and thou hast brought [them] back unto thy heart, among all the nations whither Jehovah thy God hath driven thee away,
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 hast turned back unto Jehovah thy God, and hearkened to His voice, according to all that I am commanding thee to-day, thou and thy sons, with all thy heart, and with all thy soul —
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 hath Jehovah thy God turned back [to] thy captivity, and pitied thee, yea, He hath turned back and gathered thee out of all the peoples whither Jehovah thy God hath scattered thee.
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.
'If thine outcast is in the extremity of the heavens, thence doth Jehovah thy God gather thee, and thence He doth take thee;
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 Jehovah thy God hath brought thee in unto the land which thy fathers have possessed, and thou hast inherited it, and He hath done thee good, and multiplied thee above thy 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.
'And Jehovah thy God hath circumcised thy heart, and the heart of thy seed, to love Jehovah thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, for the sake of thy life;
7 Awurade, mo Onyankopɔn, de saa nnome yi nyinaa bɛgu mo atamfoɔ ne wɔn a wɔtaa mo no so.
and Jehovah thy God hath put all this oath on thine enemies, and on those hating thee, who have pursued thee.
8 Afei, mobɛsane atie, adi Awurade mmara a mede rema mo ɛnnɛ no so.
'And thou dost turn back, and hast hearkened to the voice of Jehovah, and hast done all His commands which I am commanding thee to-day;
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.
and Jehovah thy God hath made thee abundant in every work of thy hand, in the fruit of thy body, and in the fruit of thy cattle, and in the fruit of thy ground, for good; for Jehovah turneth back to rejoice over thee for good, as He rejoiced over thy 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.
for thou dost hearken to the voice of Jehovah thy God, to keep His commands, and His statutes, which are written in the book of this law, for thou turnest back unto Jehovah thy God, with all thy heart, and with all thy soul.
11 Nokorɛm, saa mmara a merehyɛ ama mo ɛnnɛ yi sodie nyɛ den, na ɛnyɛ adeɛ a morentumi nyɛ nso.
'For this command which I am commanding thee to-day, it is not too wonderful for thee, nor [is] it far off.
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 the heavens, — saying, Who doth go up for us into the heavens, and doth take it for us, and doth cause us to hear it — that we may do 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, — saying, Who doth pass over for us beyond the sea, and doth take it for us, and doth cause us to hear it — that we may do it?
14 Dabi, asɛm no abɛn wo. Ɛda wʼano, na ɛwɔ wʼakoma mu. Ɛno enti, monni so.
For very near unto thee is the word, in thy mouth, and in thy heart — to do it.
15 Montie, ɛnnɛ, mede nkwa ne nkɔsoɔ, owuo ne ɔsɛeɛ asi mo anim.
'See, I have set before thee to-day life and good, and death and evil,
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.
in that I am commanding thee to-day to love Jehovah thy God, to walk in His ways, and to keep His commands, and His statutes, and His judgments; and thou hast lived and multiplied, and Jehovah thy God hath blessed thee in the land whither thou art going in to possess it.
17 Nanso sɛ mo akoma dane, sɛ moanyɛ ɔsetie, na sɛ wɔtwe mo kɔkoto anyame foforɔ, na mosom wɔn a,
'And if thy heart doth turn, and thou dost not hearken, and hast been driven away, and hast bowed thyself to other gods, and served 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 have declared to you this day, that ye do certainly perish, ye do not prolong days on the ground which thou art passing over the Jordan to go in thither to possess it.
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 have caused to testify against you to-day the heavens and the earth; life and death I have set before thee, the blessing and the reviling; and thou hast fixed on life, so that thou dost live, thou and thy seed,
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.
to love Jehovah thy God, to hearken to His voice, and to cleave to Him (for He [is] thy life, and the length of thy days), to dwell on the ground which Jehovah hath sworn to thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give to them.'
