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.

You shall make you no idols nor graven image, neither raise you up a standing image, neither shall you set up any image of stone in your land, to bow down to it: for I am the LORD your God.

2 “‘Ɛsɛ sɛ modi me Homeda, na mode anidie ma me kronkronbea. Mene Awurade.

You shall keep my sabbaths, and reverence my sanctuary: I am the LORD.

3 “‘Sɛ modi me mmara no nyinaa so a,

If you 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 you rain in due season, and the land shall yield her 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 you 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 you shall lie down, and none shall make you afraid: and I will rid evil beasts out of the land, neither shall the sword go through your land.

7 Mobɛpam mo atamfoɔ; na wɔbɛwuwu wɔ mo asekan ano.

And you 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 an hundred, and an hundred of you shall put ten thousand to flight: 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.

For I will have respect to you, and make you fruitful, and multiply you, and establish my covenant with you.

10 Mo nnɔbaeɛ bɛbu so a sɛ otwa berɛ foforɔ duru so a, morenhunu deɛ mode bɛyɛ.

And you shall eat old store, and bring forth the old because of the new.

11 Na mɛtena mo mu, na meremmu mo animtiaa.

And I 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 you 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 the LORD your God, which brought you forth out of the land of Egypt, that you should not be their slaves; and I have broken the bands of your yoke, and made you go upright.

14 “‘Na sɛ moantie me, anni mʼasɛm so,

But if you will not listen to me, and will not do all these commandments;

15 na mopo me mmara a,

And if you shall despise my statutes, or if your soul abhor my judgments, so that you will not do all my commandments, but that you 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 even appoint over you terror, consumption, and the burning ague, that shall consume the eyes, and cause sorrow of heart: and you 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 you shall be slain before your enemies: they that hate you shall reign over you; and you shall flee when none 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 you will not yet for all this listen to me, then I will punish 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 heaven 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 her increase, neither shall the trees of the land yield their fruits.

21 “‘Na sɛ tie ara na monntie me a, mo bɔne enti, mede ɔyaredɔm mmɔho nson bɛgu mo so.

And if you walk contrary to me, and will not listen to me; I will bring seven times more plagues on 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.

I will also send wild beasts among you, which shall rob you of your children, and destroy your cattle, and make you few in number; and your high ways shall be desolate.

23 “‘Na sɛ yei antumi ansesa mo, na mokɔ so tia mʼapɛdeɛ a,

And if you will not be reformed by me by these things, 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 will I also walk contrary to you, and will punish you yet 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 on you, that shall avenge the quarrel of my covenant: and when you are gathered together within your cities, I will send the pestilence among you; and you 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.

And when I have broken the staff of your bread, ten women shall bake your bread in one oven, and they shall deliver you your bread again by weight: and you shall eat, and not be satisfied.

27 “‘Na sɛ mokɔ so yɛ asoɔden a,

And if you will not for all this listen 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 also in fury; and I, even I, will chastise you seven times for your sins.

29 Mobɛwe mo mmammarima ne mo mmammaa ɛnam.

And you shall eat the flesh of your sons, and the flesh of your daughters shall you 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 images, and cast your carcasses on the carcasses 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 waste, and bring your sanctuaries to desolation, and I will not smell the smell 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 which dwell therein 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 heathen, and will draw out a sword after you: and your land shall be desolate, and your cities 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 shall the land enjoy her sabbaths, as long as it lies desolate, and you be in your enemies’ land; even then shall the land rest, and enjoy her 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 rest; because it did not rest in your sabbaths, when you dwelled on 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 on them that are left alive of you I will send a faintness into their hearts in the lands of their enemies; and the sound of a shaken leaf shall chase them; and they shall flee, as fleeing from a sword; and they shall fall when none 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 fall one on another, as it were before a sword, when none pursues: and you shall have no power to stand before your enemies.

38 Mobɛyera wɔ aman mu, na mo atamfoɔ asɛe mo.

And you shall perish among the heathen, 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 they that are left of you shall pine away in their iniquity in your enemies’ lands; and also in the iniquities of their fathers shall they 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.

If they shall confess their iniquity, and the iniquity of their fathers, with their trespass which they trespassed against me, and that also they have 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.

And that I also have walked contrary to them, and have brought them into the land of their enemies; if then their uncircumcised hearts 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 will I 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 of them, and shall enjoy her sabbaths, while she lies desolate without them: and they shall accept of the punishment of their iniquity: because, even because they despised my judgments, and because 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 be in the land of their enemies, I will not cast them away, neither will I abhor them, to destroy them utterly, and to break my covenant with them: for I am the LORD 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 I will for their sakes remember the covenant of their ancestors, whom I brought forth out of the land of Egypt in the sight of the heathen, that I might be their God: I am the LORD.

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 judgments and laws, which the LORD made between him and the children of Israel in mount Sinai by the hand of Moses.
