5 Mose 4

1 Afei, Israel montie mmara ne nhyehyɛeɛ a merebɛkyerɛkyerɛ mo yi yie. Monni so na moanya nkwa, na moatumi akɔ asase a Awurade mo agyanom Onyankopɔn de rema mo no so na moatena hɔ.

And now, thou Israel, here the comaundementis and domes whiche Y teche thee, that thou do tho, and lyue, and that thow entre and welde the lond which the Lord God of youre fadris schal yyue to you.

2 Mommfa bi nka ho, na monnyi biribiara nso mfiri mmara a Awurade mo Onyankopɔn de ama me sɛ memfa mma mo no mu, na mmom monni so.

Ye schulen not adde to the word which Y speke to you, nether ye schulen take awei `fro it; kepe ye the comaundementis of youre Lord God, which Y comaunde to you.

3 Mode mo ani hunuu deɛ Awurade yɛɛ mo wɔ Baal-peor no. Ɔsɛee nnipa pii a na wɔsom abosom no.

Youre iyen sien alle thingis whiche the Lord dide ayens Belphegor; how he alto brak alle the worschiperis `of hym fro the myddis of you.

4 Nanso, wɔn a na wɔdi Awurade mo Onyankopɔn nokorɛ nyinaa da so te ase bɛsi ɛnnɛ.

Forsothe ye that cleuen to youre Lord God lyuen alle `til in to present day.

5 Sɛ moduru asase a mobɛtena so no so a, yeinom ne mmara a ɛsɛ sɛ modi so. Ɛfiri Awurade, yɛn Onyankopɔn, nkyɛn. Ɔde ama me sɛ memfa mma mo.

Ye witen that Y tauyte you the comaundementis and riytfulnessis, as my Lord God comaundide to me; so ye schulen do tho in the lond whiche ye schulen welde,

6 Sɛ modi so a, ɛbɛma mo agye nim wɔ adwene ne nyansa mu. Na sɛ aman a wɔatwa mo ho ahyia no te saa mmara yi a, wɔbɛteam sɛ, “Ɔman bɛn na wɔwɔ nyansa ne adwene sɛ Israel!”

and ye schulen kepe, and schulen fille in werk. For this is youre wisdom and vndurstondyng bifor puplis, that alle men here these comaundementis, and seie, Lo! a wise puple and vnderstondynge! a greet folk!

7 Ɔman kɛseɛ bɛn na ɛwɔ onyame a ɔbɛn wɔn pɛɛ te sɛ Awurade, yɛn Onyankopɔn, a yɛfrɛ no a ɔgye yɛn so yi?

Noon other nacioun is so greet, `not in noumbre ether in bodili quantite, but in dignite, that hath Goddis neiyynge to it silf, as oure God is redi to alle oure bisechyngis.

8 Na ɔman bɛn na ɛwɔ edin sei a ɛwɔ mmara pa te sɛ saa mmara yi a mede rema mo ɛnnɛ yi?

For whi what other folk is so noble, that it hath cerymonyes and iust domes, and al the lawe which Y schal `sette forth to dai bifor youre iyen?

9 Monhwɛ yie! Monhwɛ yie pa ara na mo werɛ amfiri deɛ moahunu sɛ Awurade yɛ ma mo. Sɛ mote ase yi, mommma saa nsɛm yi mfiri mo adwene mu da! Na monhwɛ nso sɛ mo mma ne mo nananom nso bɛte.

Therfor kepe thi silf, and thi soule bisili; foryete thou not the wordis whiche thin iyen sien, and falle tho not doun fro thin herte, in alle the daies of thi lijf. Thou schalt teche tho thi sones and thi sones sones.

10 Ka kyerɛ wɔn, ne titire no, ɛda a mokɔgyinaa Awurade mo Onyankopɔn anim wɔ bepɔ Horeb a ɔka kyerɛɛ me sɛ, “Frɛ ɔmanfoɔ no wɔ mʼanim na mɛkyerɛ wɔn deɛ wɔnyɛ no. Sɛ ɛba saa a, wɔbɛsua sɛdeɛ wɔbɛdi me ni berɛ dodoɔ a wɔte ase no, na ɛnam so ma wɔatumi akyerɛ wɔn mma mmara no.”

Telle thou the day in which thou stodist bifor thi Lord God in Oreb, whanne the Lord spak to me, and seide, Gadere thou the puple to me, that it here my wordis, and lerne for to drede me in al tyme in which it lyueth in erthe, and teche hise sones.

11 Mobɛgyina bɛnee bepɔ no ayaase ɛberɛ a na bepɔ no rehye no. Egyaframa no tu kɔɔ soro a omununkum ne esum kabii aduru no.

And ye neiyiden to the `roote of the hille, that brente `til to heuene; and derknessis, and cloude, and myist weren therynne.

12 Na Awurade kasa faa ogya no mu kyerɛɛ mo. Motee nsɛm no, nanso moanhunu no. Ɛnne kɛkɛ na ɛbaeɛ.

And the Lord spak to you fro the myddis of fier; ye herden the vois of hise wordis, and outirli ye sien no fourme.

13 Ɔdaa nʼapam a ɔkyerɛɛ mo sɛ monni so no adi; mmaransɛm edu a ɔtwerɛɛ guu aboɔ ɛpono mmienu so no.

And he schewide to you his couenaunt, which he comaundide, that ye schulden do, and `he schewide ten wordis, whiche he wroot in two tablis of stoon.

14 Saa ɛberɛ no na Awurade hyɛɛ me sɛ memfa mmara a ɛsɛ sɛ modi so wɔ asase a morebɛhyɛne so akɔtena so no mma mo.

And he comaundide to me in that tyme, that Y schulde teche you cerymonyes and domes, whiche ye owen to do in the lond whiche ye schulen welde.

15 Monhwɛ yie! Ɛberɛ a Awurade kasa faa ogya mu kyerɛɛ mo firi bepɔ Horeb so no, moanhunu no.

Therfor kepe ye bisili youre soulis; ye sien not ony licnesse in the dai in which the Lord spak to you in Oreb, fro the myddis of the fier;

16 Ɛno enti, Monnnaadaa mo ho nyɛ mfoni hunu bi wɔ mo tirim sɛ ɔyɛ ɔbaa anaa ɔbarima,

lest perauenture ye be disseyued and make to you a grauun licnesse, ether an ymage of male, ether of female;

17 aboa anaa anomaa,

a licnesse of alle beestis that ben on erthe, ether of bridis fleynge vndur heuene,

18 aboa a ɔwea fam anaa nsuomnam.

and of crepynge beestis that ben moued in erthe, ether of fischis that dwellen vndur the erthe in watris; lest perauenture,

19 Na sɛ mohwɛ ewiem na mohunu owia, ɔsrane ne nsoromma a, mma wɔnntwetwe mo nkɔsom wɔn. Awurade, mo Onyankopɔn, yɛɛ saa ewiem abɔdeɛ yi maa nnipa a wɔwɔ asase so nyinaa.

whanne thin iyen ben reisid to heuene, thou se the sonne, and moone, and alle the sterris of heuene, and be disseyued bi errour, and worschipe tho, `bi outermer reuerence, and onour, `bi ynner reuerence, `tho thingis whiche thi Lord God made of nouyt, in to seruyce to alle folkis that ben vndur heuene.

20 Na mo deɛ, Awurade yii mo firii dadeɛ fononoo mu wɔ Misraim sɛ mommɛyɛ nʼadedifoɔ sɛdeɛ mote ɛnnɛ yi.

Forsothe the Lord took you, and ledde out of the yrun furneys of Egipt, that he schulde haue a puple of eritage, as it is in `present dai.

21 Mo enti, Awurade bo fuu me yie. Ɔkaa ntam sɛ, merentwa Asubɔnten Yordan nkɔ asase pa a Awurade, mo Onyankopɔn, de rema mo sɛ mo agyapadeɛ sononko no so da.

And the Lord was wrooth ayens me for youre wordis, and swoor that Y schulde not passe Jordan, and schulde not entre in to the beeste lond, which he schal yyue to you.

22 Ɛwom sɛ mobɛtwa Yordan akɔtena hɔ asase no so, na me deɛ, mɛwu wɔ asuo no fa ha.

Lo! Y die in this erthe; Y schal not passe Jordan; ye schulen passe, and schulen welde the noble lond.

23 Enti, monhwɛ yie na moammu apam a Awurade, mo Onyankopɔn, ne mo ayɛ no so. Sɛ moyɛ abosom sɛso biara a mo Awurade mo Onyankopɔn abra mo no a, na ɛkyerɛ sɛ, moabu apam no so.

Be thou war, lest ony tyme thou foryete the couenaunt of thi Lord God, which he made with thee, and lest thou make to thee a grauun licness of tho thingis whiche the Lord forbeed to make.

24 Awurade, mo Onyankopɔn, yɛ Onyame ninkunfoɔ ne ogya a ɔhye adeɛ Onyankopɔn.

For thi Lord God is fier wastynge; `God, a feruent louyere.

25 Moawowo mma ne mmanana akyi, na moatena asase no so akyɛre no, sɛ bɔne fa mo na moyɛ ohoni bi nam so yɛ bɔne wɔ Awurade mo Onyankopɔn ani so nam so hyɛ no Abufuo a,

If ye gendren sones, and sones of sones, and ye dwellen in the lond, and ye be disceyued, and make to you ony licnesse, and doen yuel bifor youre Lord God, that ye terren hym to greet wrathe,

26 mefrɛ ɔsoro ne fam sɛ mʼadansefoɔ de tia mo saa ɛda yi sɛ, ntɛm so, mobɛhye afiri asase a moretwam wɔ so akɔ Yordan akɔfa no so. Morentena hɔ nkyɛ na wɔasɛe mo pasapasa.

Y clepe witnesses to dai heuene and erthe, `that is, ech resonable creature beynge in heuene and in erthe, that ye schulen perische soone fro the lond, which ye schulen welde, whanne ye han passid Jordan; ye schulen not dwelle long tyme therynne, but the Lord schal do awey you,

27 Na Awurade bɛbɔ mo apansam aman mu a mo mu kakra bi na wɔbɛtena ase.

and schal scatere `in to alle hethen men, and ye schulen leeue fewe among naciouns, to whiche the Lord schal lede you.

28 Ɛhɔ a ɛyɛ ahɔhosase no so na mobɛsom ahoni a wɔde nnua ne aboɔ na ayɛ, anyame a wɔnhunu adeɛ na wɔnte asɛm na wɔnnidi nte hwa no.

And there ye schulen serue to goddis, that ben maad bi `the hond of men, to a tre and a stoon, that `seen not, nether heren, nether eten, nether smellen.

29 Ɛhɔ na mobɛpere bio ahwehwɛ Awurade mo Onyankopɔn. Na sɛ mode mo akoma ne mo kra nyinaa hwehwɛ no a, mobɛhunu no.

And whanne thou hast souyt there thi Lord God, thou schalt fynde hym; if netheles thou sekist with al the herte, and with al the tribulacioun of thi soule.

30 Sɛ ɔhaw bi to mo na yeinom nyinaa ba mo so a, akyire no, mobɛsane akɔ Awurade mo Onyankopɔn nkyɛn na moayɛ ɔsetie ama no.

Aftir that alle thingis han founde thee, that ben biforseid, forsothe in the laste tyme, thou schalt turne ayen to thi Lord God, and thou schalt here his vois.

31 Ɛfiri sɛ, mo Awurade mo Onyankopɔn no yɛ mmɔborɔhunu Onyankopɔn. Ɔrennya mo na ɔrensɛe mo anaa ne werɛ remfiri apam a ɔne mo agyanom pameeɛ a ɔkaa ntam sii so no.

For thi Lord God is merciful God; he schal not forsake thee, nethir he schal do awey outirli, nethir he schal foryete the couenaunt, in which he swoor to thi fadris.

32 Hwehwɛ abakɔsɛm mu firi ɛberɛ a Onyankopɔn bɔɔ nnipa wɔ asase so bɛsi ɛnnɛ yi. Afei, hwehwɛ firi ɔsoro ano kɔsi ɔsoro ano. Hwɛ sɛ biribi kɛseɛ a ɛte sɛ yei asi pɛn anaasɛ woate biribi saa pɛn?

Axe thou of elde daies that weren bifor thee, fro the day in which thi Lord God made of nouyt man on erthe, axe thou fro that oon ende of heuene `til to the tother ende therof, if sich a thing was doon ony tyme, ether if it was euere knowun,

33 Ɔman bi ate Onyankopɔn nne sɛ ɔrekasa afiri ogya mu sɛdeɛ moteeɛ na wɔda so te ase yi anaa?

that a puple herde the vois of God spekynge fro the myddis of the fier, as thou herdist, and siest;

34 Onyame foforɔ bi nam ɔgye a ɔnam amanehunu, nsɛnkyerɛnneɛ a ɛyɛ nwanwa, ɔko, tumidie ne ahodwiredeɛ so agye ɔman bi afiri ɔman foforɔ bi nsam afa sɛ ne dea anaa? Nanso, saa na Awurade, mo Onyankopɔn, yɛ maa mo wɔ Misraim a mo ani hunuiɛ.

if God `dide, that he entride, and took to him silf a folc fro the middis of naciouns, bi temptaciouns, myraclis, and grete wondris, bi batel, and strong hond, and arm holdun forth, and orrible siytis, bi alle thingis whiche youre Lord God dide for you in Egipt, `while thin iyen sien;

35 Ɔdaa yeinom nyinaa adi kyerɛɛ mo sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a mobɛhunu sɛ Awurade yɛ Onyankopɔn a nʼakyi obi nni hɔ.

that thou schuldist wite, that the Lord hym silf is God, and noon other is, outakun oon.

36 Ɔmaa motee ne nne firi soro nam so tenetenee mo so. Ɔmaa mohunuu ne ogya fadum wɔ asase so, ɛnna motee ne nne firii ogya no mfimfini.

Fro heuene he made thee to here his vois, that he schulde teche thee; and in erthe he schewide to thee his grettiste fier, and thou herdist the wordis `of hym fro the myddis of the fier;

37 Esiane sɛ na ɔpɛ mo agyanom asɛm, na ɔpɛɛ sɛ ɔhyira wɔn asefoɔ enti na ɔno ara nam ne tumi kɛseɛ so yii mo firii Misraim no.

for he louyde thi fadris, and chees her seed aftir hem. And he ledde thee out of Egipt, and yede bifore in his greet vertu,

38 Ɔpamoo saa aman yi a na wɔn ho yɛ den sene mo wɔ mo anim sɛdeɛ mobɛba wɔn asase so abɛdi so sɛdeɛ ɛte ɛnnɛ yi.

that he schulde do awei grettiste naciouns, and strongere than thou, in thin entryng, and that he schulde lede thee ynne, and schulde yyue to thee the lond `of hem in to possessioun, as thou seest in `present day.

39 Enti, monkae na momma no ntim mo akoma mu: Awurade yɛ Onyankopɔn wɔ ɔsoro ne asase so, na onyame bi nka ne ho bio!

Therfor wite thou to dai, and thenke in thin herte, that the Lord him silfe is God in heuene aboue, and in erthe bynethe, and noon other is.

40 Sɛ moyɛ ɔsetie ma mmara no ne ahyɛdeɛ no a mede bɛma mo ɛnnɛ no a, ɛbɛsi mo ne mo mma yie. Mobɛnyini akyɛre wɔ asase a Awurade mo Onyankopɔn de rema mo afebɔɔ no so.

Kepe thou hise heestis, and comaundementis, whiche Y comaunde to thee, that it be wel to thee, and to thi sones after thee, and that thou dwelle mych tyme on the lond, which thi Lord God schal yyue to thee.

41 Afei, Mose yii nkuropɔn mmiɛnsa bi wɔ Yordan apueeɛ fam

44 Yeinom ne mmara a Mose de maa Israelfoɔ no.

This is the lawe which Moises `settide forth bifor the sones of Israel,

and these ben the witnessyngis, and cerymonyes, and domes, whiche he spak to the sones of Israel, whanne thei yeden out of Egipt,
