3 Mose 26
1 “‘Monnyɛ abosom. Monnsisi ahoni anaa aboɔ mma mo ho. Mommfa aboɔ a wɔatwa nsisi mo asase so sɛ morebɛkoto wɔn. Mene Awurade mo Onyankopɔn.
Ye shall make for you no idols. Neither shall ye rear up for you a graven image, or a pillar. Neither shall ye place any figured stone in your land, to bow down to it. For I am Jehovah your God.
2 “‘Ɛsɛ sɛ modi me Homeda, na mode anidie ma me kronkronbea. Mene Awurade.
Ye shall keep my sabbaths, and reverence my sanctuary. I am Jehovah.
3 “‘Sɛ modi me mmara no nyinaa so a,
If ye walk in my statutes, and keep my commandments, and do them,
4 daa mɛtɔ osuo ama mo ama mo nnɔbaeɛ ayɛ yie abu so, na mo nnua nso bɛso aba a ɛbɛkyɛre wɔ nnua no so.
then I will give your rains in their season, and the land shall yield its increase, and the trees of the field shall yield their fruit.
5 Na sɛ ɛduru odua berɛ so bio koraa a, mo borɔdɔma bɛkɔ so abere. Mobɛdidi amee na moatena asase no so asomdwoeɛ mu,
And your threshing shall reach to the vintage, and the vintage shall reach to the sowing time, and ye shall eat your bread to the full, and dwell in your land safely.
6 “‘Ɛfiri sɛ, mɛma mo asomdwoeɛ, na mɛma mo ada a monnsuro hwee. Mɛpam mmoa bɔne afiri mo ho.
And I will give peace in the land, and ye shall lie down, and none shall make you afraid. And I will cause evil beasts to cease out of the land, nor shall the sword go through your land.
7 Mobɛpam mo atamfoɔ; na wɔbɛwuwu wɔ mo asekan ano.
And ye shall chase your enemies, and they shall fall before you by the sword.
8 Mo mu baanum bɛka ɔha agu, na mo mu ɔha aka ɔpedu agu! Mo atamfoɔ bɛtotɔ wɔ akofena ano wɔ mo anim.
And five of you shall chase a hundred, and a hundred of you shall chase ten thousand, and your enemies shall fall before you by the sword.
9 “‘Mɛhwɛ mo so na mama mo adɔre, na madi apam a me ne mo pameeɛ no so.
And I will have respect to you, and make you fruitful, and multiply you, and will establish my covenant with you.
10 Mo nnɔbaeɛ bɛbu so a sɛ otwa berɛ foforɔ duru so a, morenhunu deɛ mode bɛyɛ.
And ye shall eat old storage long kept, and ye shall bring forth the old because of the new.
11 Na mɛtena mo mu, na meremmu mo animtiaa.
And I will set my tabernacle among you, and my soul shall not abhor you.
12 Me ne mo bɛnante, na mayɛ mo Onyankopɔn, na moayɛ me nkurɔfoɔ.
And I will walk among you, and will be your God, and ye shall be my people.
13 Mene Awurade mo Onyankopɔn a ɔde mo firi Misraim asase so baeɛ sɛ ɔmpɛ sɛ moyɛ nkoa bio no. Mabubu mo nkɔnsɔnkɔnsɔn mu, na mɛma mo anante animuonyam so.
I am Jehovah your God, who brought you forth out of the land of Egypt, that ye should not be their bondmen. And I have broken the bars of your yoke, and made you go upright.
14 “‘Na sɛ moantie me, anni mʼasɛm so,
But if ye will not hearken to me, and will not do all these commandments,
15 na mopo me mmara a,
and if ye shall reject my statutes, and if your soul abhors my ordinances, so that ye will not do all my commandments, but break my covenant,
16 deɛ mɛyɛ mo nie: Mɛma mo akoma atutu na mama nsamanwa ayɛ mo, na atiridiinini abɔ mo. Mo ani bɛtutu, na mo nkwa so ahwan. Mobɛdua nnɔbaeɛ agu kwa, ɛfiri sɛ, mo atamfoɔ na wɔbɛdie.
I also will do this to you: I will appoint terror over you, even consumption and fever, that shall consume the eyes, and make the soul to pine away. And ye shall sow your seed in vain, for your enemies shall eat it.
17 Mɛyi mʼani afiri mo so, na moadwane afiri mo atamfoɔ anim. Wɔn a wɔtan mo bɛdi mo so. Mobɛdwane ɛberɛ a obiara mpam mo.
And I will set my face against you, and ye shall be smitten before your enemies. Those who hate you shall rule over you, and ye shall flee when no man pursues you.
18 “‘Na sɛ mokɔ so yɛ asoɔden a, mɛtwe mo aso mmɔho nson a emu yɛ den wɔ mo bɔne no ho.
And if for these things ye will not yet hearken to me, then I will chastise you seven times more for your sins.
19 Mɛsɛe mo ahantan tumi no na mayɛ mo soro sɛ dadeɛ ne mo fam sɛ kɔbere.
And I will break the pride of your power. And I will make your sky as iron, and your earth as brass,
20 Mobɛsɛe mo ahoɔden kwa, na mo asase nnya nnɔbaeɛ biara, na ɛso nnua nso renso aba.
and your strength shall be spent in vain, for your land shall not yield its increase, nor shall the trees of the land yield their fruit.
21 “‘Na sɛ tie ara na monntie me a, mo bɔne enti, mede ɔyaredɔm mmɔho nson bɛgu mo so.
And if ye walk contrary to me, and will not hearken to me, I will bring seven times more plagues upon you according to your sins.
22 Mɛma nkekaboa abɛkunkum mo mma na wɔakunkum mo anantwie, na mate mo dodoɔ so, na mo akwan bɛda mpan a obi mfa so bio.
And I will send the beast of the field among you, which shall rob you of your sons, and destroy your cattle, and make you few in number, and your ways shall become desolate.
23 “‘Na sɛ yei antumi ansesa mo, na mokɔ so tia mʼapɛdeɛ a,
And if by these things ye will not be reformed to me, but will walk contrary to me,
24 me nso, mɛtia mo apɛdeɛ, na me ara mʼankasa mɛtwe mo aso mprɛnson wɔ mo bɔne ho.
then I also will walk contrary to you, and I will smite you, even I, seven times for your sins.
25 Menam ɔko so bɛbu mʼapam so ako atia mo de atua mo so ka. Mobɛdwane akɔ mo nkuro mu, na mede nyarewa bɛtoa mo wɔ hɔ. Na mo atamfoɔ bɛdi mo so.
And I will bring a sword upon you that shall execute the vengeance of the covenant, and ye shall be gathered together within your cities. And I will send the pestilence among you, and ye shall be delivered into the hand of the enemy.
26 Mɛsɛe mo nnuane a mobɛnya nyinaa kɔsi sɛ mpo, fononoo baako burodo a ɛbɛto no na mmusuakuo edu bɛdi. Aduane kakra a mobɛdi no akyi, ɛkɔm bɛde mo.
When I break your staff of bread, ten women shall bake your bread in one oven, and they shall deliver your bread again by weight, and ye shall eat, and not be satisfied.
27 “‘Na sɛ mokɔ so yɛ asoɔden a,
And if for all this ye will not hearken to me, but walk contrary to me,
28 mo bɔne enti, me bo bɛfu mo na matwe mo aso a emu yɛ den mmɔho nson.
then I will walk contrary to you in wrath, and I also will chastise you seven times for your sins.
29 Mobɛwe mo mmammarima ne mo mmammaa ɛnam.
And ye shall eat the flesh of your sons, and the flesh of your daughters ye shall eat.
30 Mɛsɛe mo sorɔnsorɔmmea. Mɛtwitwa mo aduhwam afɔrebukyia agu, na mahyehyɛ mo afunu wɔ mo ahoni a ɛnni nkwa no so; na mɛpo mo.
And I will destroy your high places, and cut down your sun-images, and cast your dead bodies upon the bodies of your idols, and my soul shall abhor you.
31 Mɛma mo nkuro ayɛ amamfo na masɛe baabi a mosom nyinaa, na mapo mo ohwam afɔrebɔ no.
And I will make your cities a waste, and will bring your sanctuaries to desolation, and I will not smell the savor of your sweet odors.
32 Ampa ara, mɛma mo asase so ada mpan na mo atamfoɔ atena so, na deɛ mɛyɛ mo no ayɛ mo nwanwa.
And I will bring the land into desolation, and your enemies who dwell in it shall be astonished at it.
33 Mɛbɔ mo apete aman no a morekɔ so nyinaa, na mede ɔko asɛe mo. Mo asase bɛda mpan na wɔasɛe mo nkuro.
And I will scatter you among the nations, and I will draw out the sword after you, and your land shall be a desolation, and your cities shall be a waste.
34 Akyire no, asase no bɛda hɔ ahome de asi mfeɛ dodoɔ a moamma anhome no anan; ɛbɛda hɔ wɔ mmerɛ a mowɔ atamfoɔ nsam wɔ wɔn nsase so no nyinaa. Na asase no ahome, na anya ne home nna nso.
Then the land shall enjoy its sabbaths, as long as it lies desolate, and ye are in your enemies' land, even then shall the land rest, and enjoy its sabbaths.
35 Ɛberɛ a asase no da mpan nyinaa, ɛbɛnya home a moamma annya wɔ Homeda dodoɔ a motenaa soɔ no.
As long as it lies desolate it shall have rest, even the rest which it had not in your sabbaths, when ye dwelt upon it.
36 “‘Wɔn a wɔgyaa wɔn hɔ a wɔnwuiɛ no nso, mɛma wɔatwe wɔn akɔ akyirikyiri nsase so sɛ ɔko mu nneduafoɔ ne nkoa. Ɛhɔ na wɔbɛtena daa wɔ ehu mu. Wɔte sɛ mframa rebɔ ahahan koraa a, wɔbɛdwane te sɛ deɛ obi a ɔkura akofena repam wɔn; wɔbɛhwehwe ase wɔ ɛberɛ a obi mpam wɔn.
And as for those who are left of you, I will send a faintness into their heart in the lands of their enemies. And the sound of a driven leaf shall chase them, and they shall flee as a man flees from the sword, and they shall fall when no man pursues.
37 Obiara rempamo wɔn nanso ehu enti, wɔbɛsuntisunti wɔn ho wɔn ho te sɛ deɛ wɔredwane afiri akono a wɔnni tumi biara a wɔde bɛgyina wɔn atamfoɔ anim no.
And they shall stumble one upon another, as it were before the sword, when no man pursues. And ye shall have no power to stand before your enemies.
38 Mobɛyera wɔ aman mu, na mo atamfoɔ asɛe mo.
And ye shall perish among the nations, and the land of your enemies shall eat you up.
39 Wɔn a wɔbɛka no, wɔn bɔne enti, wɔn ho bɛyera wɔn wɔ atamfoɔ nsase so, bɔne a wɔn agyanom yɛeɛ no enti.
And those who are left of you shall pine away in their iniquity in your enemies' lands, and also in the iniquities of their fathers they shall pine away with them.
40 “‘Nanso akyire no, me nkurɔfoɔ bɛka wɔn bɔne ne wɔn agyanom bɔne. Wɔbɛka sɛdeɛ wɔdii me hwammɔ na wɔtiaa me no.
And they shall confess their iniquity, and the iniquity of their fathers, in their trespass which they trespassed against me, and also that, because they walked contrary to me,
41 Sɛ me nso metia wɔn te sɛ deɛ ɛsɛ na mede wɔn kɔ wɔn atamfoɔ asase so a, afei, wɔn akomaden no ano bɛbrɛ ase, na wɔbɛtua wɔn bɔne so ka.
I also walked contrary to them, and brought them into the land of their enemies. If then their uncircumcised heart be humbled, and they then accept of the punishment of their iniquity,
42 Afei, mɛkae apam a me ne Yakob, Isak ne Abraham ayɛ, na mɛkae asase no.
then I will remember my covenant with Jacob, and also my covenant with Isaac, and also my covenant with Abraham will I remember, and I will remember the land.
43 Asase no da hɔ dinn no, ɛbɛdi ne homeda. Nanso akyire no, wɔbɛnya wɔn asotwe sɛ wɔanni me nhyehyɛeɛ so na wɔtiaa me mmara.
The land also shall be left by them, and shall enjoy its sabbaths while it lies desolate without them. And they shall accept of the punishment of their iniquity, because, even because they rejected my ordinances, and their soul abhorred my statutes.
44 Na deɛ wɔyɛɛ no nyinaa akyi no, merensɛe wɔne mʼapam no korakora, ɛfiri sɛ, mene Awurade wɔn Onyankopɔn.
And yet for all that, when they are in the land of their enemies, I will not reject them, neither will I abhor them, to destroy them utterly, and to break my covenant with them, for I am Jehovah their God,
45 Mɛkae tete apam a me ne wɔn agyanom a meyii wɔn firii Misraim, ɛberɛ a amanaman nyinaa rehwɛ no, yɛeɛ no. Me Awurade ne wɔn Onyankopɔn.’”
but for their sakes I will remember the covenant of their ancestors, whom I brought forth out of the land of Egypt in the sight of the nations, that I might be their God. I am Jehovah.
46 Yeinom ne mmara ne ahyɛdeɛ a Awurade nam Mose so de maa Israelfoɔ no wɔ Sinai Bepɔ so no.
These are the statutes and ordinances and laws, which Jehovah made between him and the sons of Israel at mount Sinai by Moses.
