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 do not make idols for yourselves; and you do not set up carved image or standing image for yourselves; and you do not put a stone of imagery in your land, to bow yourselves to it; for I [am] your God YHWH.

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

You keep My Sabbaths and you revere My sanctuary; I [am] YHWH.

3 “‘Sɛ modi me mmara no nyinaa so a,

If you walk in My statutes, and you keep My commands, and have done 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 have given your rains in their season, and the land has given her produce, and the tree of the field gives its 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 the threshing has reached to you, [and] the gathering, and the gathering reaches the sowing-[time]; and you have eaten your bread to satiety, and have dwelt confidently in your land.

6 “‘Ɛfiri sɛ, mɛma mo asomdwoeɛ, na mɛma mo ada a monnsuro hwee. Mɛpam mmoa bɔne afiri mo ho.

And I have given peace in the land, and you have lain down, and there is none causing trembling; and I have caused evil beasts to cease out of the land, and the sword does not pass over into your land.

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

And you have pursued your enemies, and they have fallen 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 have pursued one hundred, and one hundred of you pursue a myriad; and your enemies have fallen 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 have turned to you, and have made you fruitful, and have multiplied you, and have established My covenant with you;

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

and you have eaten old [store], and you bring out the old because of the new.

11 Na mɛtena mo mu, na meremmu mo animtiaa.

And I have given My Dwelling Place in your midst, and My soul does not loathe you;

12 Me ne mo bɛnante, na mayɛ mo Onyankopɔn, na moayɛ me nkurɔfoɔ.

and I have habitually walked in your midst, and have become your God, and you become 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] your God YHWH, who has brought you out of the land of the Egyptians, from being their servants; and I break the bars of your yoke and cause you to go erect.

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

And if you do not listen to Me and do not do all these commands,

15 na mopo me mmara a,

and if you kick at My statutes, and if your soul loathes My judgments, so as not to do all My commands—to your breaking 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 do this to you: I have even appointed trouble over you, the consumption, and the burning fever, consuming eyes, and causing pain of soul; and you have sowed your seed in vain, and your enemies have eaten 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 have set My face against you, and you have been struck before your enemies; and those hating you have ruled over you, and you have fled when there is none pursuing 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 up to these you [still] do not listen to Me—then I have added to discipline you sevenfold for your sins;

19 Mɛsɛe mo ahantan tumi no na mayɛ mo soro sɛ dadeɛ ne mo fam sɛ kɔbere.

and I have broken the pride of your strength, and have made your heavens as iron, and your earth as bronze;

20 Mobɛsɛe mo ahoɔden kwa, na mo asase nnya nnɔbaeɛ biara, na ɛso nnua nso renso aba.

and your strength has been consumed in vain, and your land does not give her produce, and the tree of the land does not give its fruit.

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

And if you walk with Me [in] opposition, and are not willing to listen to Me, then I have added to you a plague sevenfold, 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 sent the beast of the field against you, and it has bereaved you; and I have cut off your livestock, and have made you few, and your ways have been desolate.

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

And if by these you are not instructed by Me, and have walked with Me [in] opposition,

24 me nso, mɛtia mo apɛdeɛ, na me ara mʼankasa mɛtwe mo aso mprɛnson wɔ mo bɔne ho.

then I have walked—I also—with you in opposition, and have struck you, even I, sevenfold 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 have brought in a sword on you, executing the vengeance of a covenant; and you have been gathered to your cities, and I have sent pestilence into your midst, and you have been given into the hand of an 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.

In My breaking your staff of bread, then ten women have baked your bread in one oven, and have given back your bread by weight; and you have eaten and are not satisfied.

27 “‘Na sɛ mokɔ so yɛ asoɔden a,

And if for this you do not listen to Me, and have walked with Me in opposition,

28 mo bɔne enti, me bo bɛfu mo na matwe mo aso a emu yɛ den mmɔho nson.

then I have walked with you in the fury of opposition, and have disciplined you, even I, sevenfold for your sins.

29 Mobɛwe mo mmammarima ne mo mmammaa ɛnam.

And you have eaten [the] flesh of your sons; and you eat [the] flesh of your daughters.

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 have destroyed your high places, and cut down your images, and have put your carcasses on the carcasses of your idols, and My soul has loathed you;

31 Mɛma mo nkuro ayɛ amamfo na masɛe baabi a mosom nyinaa, na mapo mo ohwam afɔrebɔ no.

and I have made your cities a ruin, and have made your sanctuaries desolate, and I do not smell your refreshing fragrance;

32 Ampa ara, mɛma mo asase so ada mpan na mo atamfoɔ atena so, na deɛ mɛyɛ mo no ayɛ mo nwanwa.

and I have made the land desolate, and your enemies who are dwelling in it have been 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 scatter you among nations, and have drawn out a sword after you, and your land has been a desolation, and your cities are a ruin.

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 enjoys its Sabbaths all the days of the desolation—and you [are] in the land of your enemies; then the land rests, and has enjoyed its Sabbaths;

35 Ɛberɛ a asase no da mpan nyinaa, ɛbɛnya home a moamma annya wɔ Homeda dodoɔ a motenaa soɔ no.

it rests all the days of the desolation [for] that which it has not rested in your Sabbaths, in your dwelling 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 those who are left of you—I have also brought a faintness into their heart in the lands of their enemies, and the sound of a leaf driven away has pursued them, and they have fled [as in] flight from a sword—and they have fallen, and there is none pursuing.

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 have stumbled on one another, as from the face of a sword, and there is none pursuing, and you have no standing before your enemies,

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

and you have perished among the nations, and the land of your enemies has consumed you.

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—they consume away in their iniquity, in the lands of your enemies; and also in the iniquities of their fathers, they consume 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 [if] they have confessed their iniquity and the iniquity of their fathers, in their trespass which they have trespassed against Me, and also that they have walked with Me in opposition,

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.

when I also walk in opposition to them, and have brought them into the land of their enemies—if then their uncircumcised heart is humbled, and then they accept the punishment of their iniquity—

42 Afei, mɛkae apam a me ne Yakob, Isak ne Abraham ayɛ, na mɛkae asase no.

then I have remembered My covenant [with] Jacob, and also My covenant [with] Isaac, and also My covenant [with] Abraham I remember, and I 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.

And the land is left by them, and enjoys its Sabbaths, in the desolation without them, and they accept the punishment of their iniquity, because, even because, they have kicked against My judgments, and their soul has loathed My statutes,

44 Na deɛ wɔyɛɛ no nyinaa akyi no, merensɛe wɔne mʼapam no korakora, ɛfiri sɛ, mene Awurade wɔn Onyankopɔn.

and also even this, in their being in the land of their enemies, I have not rejected them, nor have I loathed them, to consume them, to break My covenant with them; for I [am] their God YHWH—

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.’”

then I have remembered for them the covenant of the ancestors, whom I brought forth out of the land of Egypt before the eyes of the nations to become their God; I [am] YHWH.”

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 the judgments, and the laws, which YHWH has given between Him and the sons of Israel in Mount Sinai, by the hand of Moses.
