5 Mose 6

1 Yeinom ne ahyɛdeɛ, mmara ne nhyehyɛeɛ a Awurade mo Onyankopɔn ka kyerɛɛ me sɛ menkyerɛ mo na monni so wɔ asase a moretwa Yordan akɔtena so no,

And these [are] the commands, and the ordinances, and the judgments, as many as the Lord our God gave commandment to teach you to do so in the land on which you enter to inherit it.

2 sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a mo, mo mma ne wɔn mma bɛsuro Awurade mo Onyankopɔn mmerɛ dodoɔ a mote ase. Sɛ modi ne mmara ne nʼahyɛdeɛ nyinaa so a, mo nkwa nna bɛware.

That you may fear the Lord your God, keep you all his ordinances, and his commandments, which I command you today, you, and your sons, and your sons' sons, all the days of your life, that you may live many days.

3 Montie, Ao Israel, na monhwɛ yie nni so sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a, ɛbɛsi mo yie na mo ase atrɛ yie wɔ asase a nufosuo ne ɛwoɔ resene wɔ so sɛdeɛ Awurade, mo agyanom Onyankopɔn, hyɛɛ mo ho bɔ no.

Hear, therefore, O Israel, and observe to do them, that it may be well with you, and that you may be greatly multiplied, as the Lord God of your fathers said that he would give you a land flowing with milk and honey: and these [are] the ordinances, and the judgments, which the Lord commanded the children of Israel in the wilderness, when they had gone forth from the land of Egypt.

4 Tie, Ao Israel, Awurade yɛn Onyankopɔn yɛ Awurade koro.

Hear, O Israel, The Lord our God is one Lord.

5 Dɔ Awurade wo Onyankopɔn firi wʼakoma mu nyinaa ne wo kra nyinaa mu ne wʼahoɔden nyinaa mu.

And you shall love the Lord your God with all your mind, and with all your soul, and all your strength.

6 Momma saa mmaransɛm a mede rema wo ɛnnɛ yi ntena mo akoma mu.

And these words, all that I command you this day, shall be in your heart and in your soul.

7 Momfa nhyɛ mo mma mu. Sɛ mowɔ fie anaa monam ɛkwan so, sɛ moda hɔ anaa mosɔre anɔpa a, monkyerɛkyerɛ wɔn.

And you shall teach them to your children, and you shall speak of them sitting in the house, and walking by the way, and lying down, and rising up.

8 Monkyekyere no sɛ agyinahyɛdeɛ mmɔ mo nsa na momfa bi mmɔ abotire.

And you shall fasten them for a sign upon your hand, and it shall be immoveable before your eyes.

9 Montwerɛ ngu mo fie aponnwa ne mo aboboanopono ho.

And you shall write them on the lintels of your houses and of your gates.

10 Ɛrenkyɛre biara, Awurade mo Onyankopɔn de mo bɛba asase a ɔkaa ntam sɛ ɔde bɛma mo agyanom Abraham, Isak ne Yakob no. Ɛyɛ asase a animuonyam nkuropɔn a ɛnyɛ mo na mokyekyereeɛ ahyɛ so ma.

And it shall come to pass when the Lord your God shall have brought you into the land which he sware to your fathers, to Abraam, and to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give you great and beautiful cities which you did not build,

11 Wɔde nneɛma pa a ɛnyɛ mo na moyɛeɛ bɛhyɛ no ma. Mobɛto nsuo afiri abura a ɛnyɛ mo na motuiɛ mu, na mobɛdidi afiri turo a ɛnyɛ mo na moyɛeɛ mu ne ngo nnua a ɛnyɛ mo na moduaeɛ. Sɛ modidi mee wɔ saa asase yi so wie a,

houses full of all good things which you did not fill, wells dug in the rock which you did not dig, vineyards and olive yards which you did not plant, then having eaten and been filled,

12 monhwɛ yie na mo werɛ amfiri Awurade a ɔgyee mo firii nkoasom mu Misraim asase so no.

beware lest you forget the Lord your God that brought you forth out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.

13 Ɛsɛ sɛ mosuro Awurade, mo Onyankopɔn, na mosom ɔno nko ara. Ne din nko ara na momfa nka ntam.

You shall fear the Lord your God, and him only shall you serve; and you shall cleave to him, and by his name you shall swear.

14 Monnni anyame foforɔ akyi—anyame a wɔyɛ nnipa a wɔatwa mo ho ahyia no dea;

Go you not after other gods of the gods of the nations round about you;

15 na Awurade mo Onyankopɔn a ɔwɔ mo ntam no yɛ Onyankopɔn ninkunfoɔ a nʼabufuhyeɛ no bɛhye mo na ɔbɛsɛe mo afiri asase so.

for the Lord your God in the midst of you [is] a jealous God, lest the Lord your God be very angry with you, and destroy you from off the face of the earth.

16 Monnsɔ Awurade, mo Onyankopɔn, nhwɛ sɛdeɛ moyɛeɛ ɛberɛ a na mowɔ Masa no.

You shall not tempt the Lord your God, as you tempted him in the temptation.

17 Ɛsɛ sɛ modi Awurade mo Onyankopɔn ahyɛdeɛ so pɛpɛɛpɛ—monni mmara no mu nsɛm nyinaa so sɛdeɛ ɔde ama mo no.

You shall by all means keep the commands of the Lord your God, the testimonies, and the ordinances, which he commanded you.

18 Monyɛ deɛ ɛtene na ɛyɛ wɔ Awurade ani so na biribiara awie mo yie. Na moakɔ akɔtena asase pa a Awurade hyɛɛ ho bɔ kyerɛɛ mo agyanom no.

And you shall do that which is pleasing and good before the Lord your God, that it may be well with you, and that you may go in and inherit the good land, which the Lord sware to your fathers,

19 Mobɛpam atamfoɔ a wɔte mo asase no so nyinaa sɛdeɛ Awurade ka kyerɛɛ mo sɛ ɔbɛyɛ no.

to chase all your enemies from before your face, as the Lord said.

20 Daakye bi, mo mma bɛbisa mo sɛ, “Saa mmara ne nʼahyɛdeɛ a Awurade, yɛn Onyankopɔn de ama yɛn yi aseɛ ne sɛn?”

And it shall come to pass when your son shall ask you at a future time, saying, What are the testimonies, and the ordinances, and the judgments, which the Lord our God has commanded us?

21 Monka nkyerɛ wɔn sɛ “Na yɛyɛ Farao nkoa wɔ Misraim, nanso Awurade nam anwanwatumi so yii yɛn firii Misraim.

Then shall you say to your son, We were slaves to Pharao in the land of Egypt, and the Lord brought us forth thence with a mighty hand, and with a high arm.

22 Yɛhunuu Awurade nsɛnkyerɛnneɛ nnwuma a ɔyɛ tiaa Misraim, Farao ne ne nkurɔfoɔ nyinaa.

And the Lord wrought signs and great and grievous wonders in Egypt, on Pharao and on his house before us.

23 Ɔyii yɛn firii Misraim sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a, ɔbɛtumi de asase a wahyɛ yɛn agyanom ho bɔ no ama yɛn.

And he brought us out thence to give us this land, which he sware to give to our fathers.

24 Na Awurade yɛn Onyankopɔn hyɛɛ yɛn sɛ yɛnni mmara no nyinaa so na yɛmfa obuo ne anidie mma no sɛdeɛ ɛbɛma daakye asi yɛn yie sɛdeɛ ɛte ɛnnɛ yi.

And the Lord charged us to observe all these ordinances; to fear the Lord our God, that it may be well with us for ever, that we may live, as even today.

25 Ɛfiri sɛ, sɛ yɛdi mmara no nyinaa a Awurade, yɛn Onyankopɔn, de ama yɛn no so a, ɛbɛma yɛayɛ ateneneefoɔ.”

And there shall be mercy to us, if we take heed to keep all these commands before the Lord our God, as he has commanded us.
