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.
All the commandment which I command thee this day shall ye observe to do; in order that ye may live, and multiply, and go in and take possession of the land which the Lord hath sworn unto 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 hath led thee these forty years in the wilderness, in order to afflict thee, to prove thee, to know what is in thy heart, whether thou wouldst keep his commandments, or not.
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 suffered thee to hunger, and he gave thee manna to eat, which thou knewest not, and which thy fathers had not known; in order that he might make thee know that not by bread alone man doth live, but by every thing that proceedeth out of the mouth of the Lord doth man live.
4 Mfeɛ aduanan yi nyinaa mu, mo ntadeɛ antete, na mo nan ammɔ mpumpunnya na anhonhono nso.
Thy garment did not fall worn out from thee, and thy foot did not swell, 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 consider in thy heart, that, as a man chasteneth his son, so doth the Lord thy God chasten thee.
6 Monni Awurade mo Onyankopɔn ahyɛdeɛ so na monnante nʼakwan so na momfa anidie mma no.
And thou shalt keep the commandments 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 bringeth thee into a good land, a land of brooks of water, of fountains and depths that spring out of valleys and mountains;
8 asase a atokoɔ, ayuo, bobe, borɔdɔma, ateaa, ngo dua ne ɛwoɔ wɔ so.
A land of wheat, and barley, and of the vine, and the fig-tree, and the pomegranate; a land of the oil-olive, and of 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 wherein thou shalt eat bread without scarceness, wherein thou shalt not lack anything; a land the stones whereof are iron, and out of the mountains of which thou canst hew copper.
10 Sɛ modidi mee a, monhyira Awurade mo Onyankopɔn wɔ asase pa a ɔde ama mo no enti.
And when thou hast eaten and art satisfied, then shalt thou bless the Lord thy God for the good land which he hath 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 unto thyself that thou forget not the Lord thy God, so as not to keep his commandments, and his ordinances, and his statutes, which I command thee this day;
12 Anyɛ saa a, sɛ modidi na momee na mosisi mo afie fɛfɛ, na mokɔtena mu
That when thou hast eaten and art satisfied, and hast built goodly houses, and dwelt therein;
13 na mo anantwie ne nnwan ase dɔre, na monya dwetɛ ne sika pii, na mo agyapadeɛ nyinaa dɔɔso
And when thy herds and thy flocks multiply, and thy silver and thy gold are multiplied, and all that thou hast is multiplied:
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.
Thy heart be then not lifted up, and thou forget the Lord thy God, who hath brought thee forth out of the land of Egypt, from the house of slavery;
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 hath led thee through the great and terrible wilderness, wherein are snakes, poisonous serpents, and scorpions, and drought, where there is no water; who hath brought forth for thee 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 hath fed thee in the wilderness with manna, which thy fathers knew not; in order to afflict thee, and in order to prove thee, to do thee good at thy latter end;
17 Ɔyɛɛ saa de kyerɛɛ mo sɛ, ɛnsɛ sɛ modwene sɛ mo ahonya no firi mo ankasa mo ahoɔden mu.
And thou say in thy heart, My power and the strength of my hand have gotten me this 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; for it is he that giveth thee power to get wealth; in order that he might fulfill his covenant which he hath sworn unto thy fathers, as it is 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, that, if thou shouldst forget the Lord thy God, and walk after other gods, and serve them, and bow thyself down to them, I testify 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.
Like the nations which the Lord destroyeth from before you, so shall ye perish; in recompense of that ye would not hearken unto the voice of the Lord your God.
