Deuteronomy 27

1 Moses and the elders of Israel commanded the people, saying, “Keep all the commandment which I command you today.

Mose ne Israel mpanyimfo hyɛɛ ɔmanfo no se, “Munni mmara a mede rema mo nnɛ yi nyinaa so.

2 It shall be on the day when you shall pass over the Jordan to the land which Yahweh your God gives you, that you shall set yourself up great stones, and coat them with plaster.

Sɛ mutwa Yordan kodu asase a Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn no, de rema mo no so a, monhyehyɛ abo akɛse na momfa akaadoo nsra ho.

3 You shall write on them all the words of this law, when you have passed over, that you may go in to the land which Yahweh your God gives you, a land flowing with milk and honey, as Yahweh, the God of your fathers, has promised you.

Sɛ mutwa Yordan kɔ asase a Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn no, de rema mo no so, asase a ɛwo ne nufusu resen so no so a, monkyerɛw mmara no nyinaa ngu so sɛnea Awurade, mo agyanom Nyankopɔn, hyɛɛ mo bɔ no.

4 It shall be, when you have crossed over the Jordan, that you shall set up these stones, which I command you today, on Mount Ebal, and you shall coat them with plaster.

Na sɛ mutwa Yordan a, monhyehyɛ abo yi wɔ Ebal bepɔw so sɛnea merehyɛ mo nnɛ yi na momfa akaadoo nsra ho.

5 There you shall build an altar to Yahweh your God, an altar of stones. You shall not use any iron tool on them.

Munsi afɔremuka, abo afɔremuka wɔ hɔ mma Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn no. Mommfa dade biribiara nka.

6 You shall build Yahweh your God’s altar of uncut stones. You shall offer burnt offerings on it to Yahweh your God.

Momfa abo amuamu nsi Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn no, afɔremuka no na mommɔ ɔhyew afɔre wɔ so mma Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn no.

7 You shall sacrifice peace offerings, and shall eat there. You shall rejoice before Yahweh your God.

Mommɔ asomdwoe afɔre nso wɔ so na momfa anigye nnidi wɔ hɔ wɔ Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn no, anim.

8 You shall write on the stones all the words of this law very plainly.”

Monkyerɛw mmara no mu nhyehyɛe nyinaa pɛpɛɛpɛ ngu abo a wɔde akaadoo asra ho no so.”

9 Moses and the Levitical priests spoke to all Israel, saying, “Be silent and listen, Israel! Today you have become the people of Yahweh your God.

Afei, Mose ne Lewifo asɔfo kasa kyerɛɛ Israelfo no se, “Israel, monyɛ komm na muntie! Nnɛ, moabɛyɛ Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn no, manfo.

10 You shall therefore obey Yahweh your God’s voice, and do his commandments and his statutes, which I command you today.”

Monyɛ osetie mma Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn no, na munni ne mmara ne nʼahyɛde a mede rema mo nnɛ yi so.”

11 Moses commanded the people the same day, saying,

Saa da no ara, Mose hyɛɛ ɔmanfo no se:

12 “These shall stand on Mount Gerizim to bless the people, when you have crossed over the Jordan: Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, Joseph, and Benjamin.

Sɛ mutwa Asubɔnten Yordan a Simeon, Lewi, Yuda, Isakar, Yosef ne Benyamin mmusuakuw na wonnyina Gerisim bepɔw so nhyira ɔman no.

13 These shall stand on Mount Ebal for the curse: Reuben, Gad, Asher, Zebulun, Dan, and Naphtali.

Ruben, Gad, Aser, Sebulon, Dan ne Naftali mmusuakuw nso nnyina Ebal bepɔw so nnome.

14 With a loud voice, the Levites shall say to all the men of Israel,
