< 5 Mose 8 >

1 Monhwɛ yie na monni mmara a merehyɛ ama mo ɛnnɛ yi so, sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a, mobɛtena ase na moadɔɔso na moakɔ asase a Awurade kaa ntam de hyɛɛ mo agyanom bɔ no na moatena so.
Ye shall observe to do all the commands which I charge you to-day, that ye may live and be multiplied, and enter in and inherit the land, which the Lord your God sware [to give] to your fathers.
2 Monkae sɛdeɛ Awurade mo Onyankopɔn dii mo anim faa ɛserɛ so mfeɛ aduanan, nam so brɛɛ mo ase de sɔɔ mo suban hwɛeɛ sɛ mobɛdi ne mmara so anaasɛ morenni so no.
And thou shalt remember all the way which the Lord thy God led thee in the wilderness, that he might afflict thee, and try thee, and that the things in thine heart might be made manifest, whether thou wouldest keep his commandments or no.
3 Nokorɛm, ɔmaa ɛkɔm dee mo nam so brɛɛ mo ase, ɛnna ɔmaa mo mana, aduane a na anka mo ne mo agyanom nnii bi da. Ɔyɛɛ saa de kyerɛɛ mo sɛ, ɛnyɛ aduane nko ara na ɛho hia onipa wɔ nʼasetena mu, na mmom, deɛ ɛhia titire ne Awurade asɛm.
And he afflicted thee and straitened thee with hunger, and fed thee with manna, which thy fathers knew not; that he might teach thee that man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God shall man live.
4 Mfeɛ aduanan yi nyinaa mu, mo ntadeɛ antete, na mo nan ammɔ mpumpunnya na anhonhono nso.
Thy garments grew not old from off thee, thy shoes were not worn from off thee, thy feet were not [painfully] hardened, lo! these forty years.
5 Enti, deɛ ɛsɛ sɛ mohunu ne sɛ, sɛdeɛ ɔbaatan tea ne ba no, saa ara nso na Awurade mo Onyankopɔn tea mo de boa mo.
And thou shalt know in thine heart, that as if any man should chasten his son, so the Lord thy God will chasten thee.
6 Monni Awurade mo Onyankopɔn ahyɛdeɛ so na monnante nʼakwan so na momfa anidie mma no.
And thou shalt keep the commands of the Lord thy God, to walk in his ways, and to fear him.
7 Ɛfiri sɛ, mo Awurade de mo rekɔ asase pa so—asase a asutene, mmura ne nsutire resene wɔ bɔnhwa ne mmepɔ mu;
For the Lord thy God will bring thee into a good and extensive land, where there are torrents of waters, and fountains of deep places issuing through the plains and through the mountains:
8 asase a atokoɔ, ayuo, bobe, borɔdɔma, ateaa, ngo dua ne ɛwoɔ wɔ so.
a land of wheat and barley, [wherein are] vines, figs, pomegranates; a land of olive oil and honey;
9 Ɛyɛ asase a aduane abu wɔ so a biribiara wɔ so; ɛyɛ asase a fagudeɛ dadeɛ abu so te sɛ aboɔ, na sumpii nso nyɛ na wɔ ne mmepɔ mu.
a land on which thou shalt not eat thy bread with poverty, and thou shalt not want any thing upon it; a land whose stones are iron, and out of its mountains thou shalt dig brass.
10 Sɛ modidi mee a, monhyira Awurade mo Onyankopɔn wɔ asase pa a ɔde ama mo no enti.
And thou shalt eat and be filled, and shalt bless the Lord thy God on the good land, which he has given thee.
11 Nanso, monhwɛ yie na mo werɛ amfiri Awurade mo Onyankopɔn a morenni ne mmara ne nʼahyɛdeɛ a merehyɛ mo ɛnnɛ yi so.
Take heed to thyself that thou forget not the Lord thy God, so as not to keep his commands, and his judgments, and ordinances, which I command thee this day:
12 Anyɛ saa a, sɛ modidi na momee na mosisi mo afie fɛfɛ, na mokɔtena mu
lest when thou hast eaten and art full, and hast built goodly houses, and dwelt in them;
13 na mo anantwie ne nnwan ase dɔre, na monya dwetɛ ne sika pii, na mo agyapadeɛ nyinaa dɔɔso
and thy oxen and thy sheep are multiplied to thee, and thy silver and thy gold are multiplied to thee, and all thy possessions are multiplied to thee,
14 a, saa ɛberɛ no na ɛsɛ sɛ mohwɛ yie. Monnyɛ ahomasoɔ na mommma mo werɛ mfiri Awurade mo Onyankopɔn a ɔyii mo firii Misraim nkoasom asase so no.
thou shouldest be exalted in heart, and forget the Lord thy God, who brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage:
15 Mommma mo werɛ mfiri sɛ ɔno na ɔdii mo anim yii mo firii ɛserɛ a na ɛso yɛ hu so. Ɔno na ɔyii mo firii asase a ɛso yɛ hye, a awɔ ne anyanyankyerɛ a wɔn ano wɔ borɔ wɔ so no so. Ɔmaa mo nsuo firi ɔbotan mu.
who brought thee through that great and terrible wilderness, where [is] the biting serpent, and scorpion, and drought, where there was no water; who brought thee a fountain of water out of the flinty rock:
16 Ɔmaa mo mana aduane a mo agyanom nnim diiɛ wɔ ɛserɛ so. Ɔyɛɛ yei de brɛɛ mo ase, de sɔɔ mo hwɛeɛ wɔ mo ankasa yiedie mu.
who fed thee with manna in the wilderness, which thou knewest not, and thy fathers knew not; that he might afflict thee, and thoroughly try thee, and do thee good in thy latter days.
17 Ɔyɛɛ saa de kyerɛɛ mo sɛ, ɛnsɛ sɛ modwene sɛ mo ahonya no firi mo ankasa mo ahoɔden mu.
Lest thou shouldest say in thine heart, My strength, and the power of mine hand have wrought for me this great wealth.
18 Daa monkae sɛ, Awurade mo Onyankopɔn a ɔma mo tumi ma moyɛ adefoɔ no, ɔyɛ saa de dii apam a ɔne mo agyanom hyɛeɛ no so.
But thou shalt remember the Lord thy God, that he gives thee strength to get wealth; even that he may establish his covenant, which the Lord sware to thy fathers, as at this day.
19 Na mereka akyerɛ mo sɛ, sɛ mo werɛ firi Awurade, mo Onyankopɔn, na mokɔdi anyame foforɔ akyi, som wɔn, koto wɔn a, sɛeɛ na wɔbɛsɛe mo.
And it shall come to pass if thou do at all forget the Lord thy God, and shouldest go after other gods, and serve them, and worship them, I call heaven and earth to witness against you this day, that ye shall surely perish.
20 Sɛdeɛ Awurade asɛe amanaman a na wɔwɔ mo anim no, mo nso sɛ moantie Awurade mo Onyankopɔn a, saa ara na wɔbɛsɛe mo.
As also the other nations which the Lord God destroys before your face, so shall ye perish, because ye hearkened not to the voice of the Lord your God.
