Deuteronomy 16

1 Observe the month of new corn, which is the first of the spring, that thou mayst celebrate the phase to the Lord thy God: because in this month the Lord thy God brought thee out of Egypt by night.

Daa monni Twam Afahyɛ no wɔ ɔbosome Abib no mu mma Awurade, mo Onyankopɔn, ɛfiri sɛ, ɔbosome Abib mu ɛda bi anadwo na Onyankopɔn yii mo firii Misraim.

2 And thou shalt sacrifice the phase to the Lord thy God, of sheep, and of oxen, in the place which the Lord thy God shall choose, that his name may dwell there.

Monkum anantwie anaa nnwan sɛ Twam Afahyɛ afɔrebɔdeɛ mma Awurade, mo Onyankopɔn, wɔ baabi a Awurade bɛyi sɛ atenaeɛ wɔ ne din mu.

3 Thou shalt not eat with it leavened bread: seven days shalt thou eat without leaven, the bread of affliction, because thou camest out of Egypt in fear: that thou mayst remember the day of thy coming out of Egypt, all the days of thy life.

Monnni burodo a mmɔreka wɔ mu; monni burodo a mmɔreka nni mu nnanson, ɛfiri sɛ, ɔherɛ so na mofirii Misraim sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a, mo nkwa nna nyinaa mobɛkae ɛberɛ a motu firii Misraim no.

4 No leaven shall be seen in all thy coasts for seven days, neither shall any of the flesh of that which was sacrificed the first day in the evening remain until morning.

Mommma wɔnhunu mmɔreka wɔ mo nkyɛn wɔ mo nsase nyinaa so nnanson. Mommma ɛnam a mode bɔɔ afɔdeɛ ɛda a ɛdi ɛkan no anwummerɛ no nnka ogya so nkɔsi anɔpa.

5 Thou mayst not immolate the phase in any one of thy cities, which the Lord thy God will give thee:

Monnni Twam Afahyɛ no wɔ nkuro a Awurade, mo Onyankopɔn, de rema mo no so.

6 But in the place which the Lord thy God shall choose, that his name may dwell there: thou shalt immolate the phase in the evening, at the going down of the sun, at which time thou camest out of Egypt.

Baabi a Awurade mo Onyankopɔn bɛyi sɛ wɔnkamfo ne din wɔ hɔ no na monni Twam Afahyɛ no. Sɛ owia rekɔtɔ a na monni mfa nkae mo Misraim firi berɛ no.

7 And thou shalt dress, and eat it in the place which the Lord thy God shall choose, and in the morning rising up thou shalt go into thy dwellings.

Montoto na monwe no wɔ faako a Awurade, mo Onyankopɔn, bɛyi ama mo no. Na adeɛ kye a, monkɔ mo ntomadan mu.

8 Six days shalt thou eat unleavened bread: and on the seventh day, because it is the assembly of the Lord thy God, thou shalt do no work.

Nnansia na momfa nni burodo a wɔmfaa mmɔreka mfraeɛ. Na ne nnanson so, nnipa no nyinaa nhyia wɔ Awurade, mo Onyankopɔn, anim. Na saa ɛda no, obiara nnyɛ adwuma.

9 Thou shalt number unto thee seven weeks from that day, wherein thou didst put the sickle to the corn.

Ɛberɛ a wɔrebɛfiri aseɛ atwa aburoo no na monkan nnanson no.

10 And thou shalt celebrate the festival of weeks to the Lord thy God, a voluntary oblation of thy hand, which thou shalt offer according to the blessing of the Lord thy God.

Monni Nnapɛn Dapɔnna ma Awurade, mo Onyankopɔn, na mommɔ ayamyɛ afɔdeɛ sɛdeɛ nhyira a Awurade, mo Onyankopɔn, ahyira mo no sɛso so.

11 And thou shalt feast before the Lord thy God, thou, and thy son, and thy daughter, and thy manservant, and thy maidservant, and the Levite that is within thy gates, and the stranger and the fatherless, and the widow, who abide with you: in the place which the Lord thy God shall choose, that his name may dwell there:

Na monnye mo ani wɔ Awurade, mo Onyankopɔn, anim wɔ baabi a ɔbɛyi sɛ atenaeɛ a wɔbɛkamfo ne din no—mone no mo mmammarima ne mo mmammaa, mo nkoa ne mo mfenaa, Lewifoɔ a wɔwɔ mo nkuro mu ne ahɔhoɔ, nwisiaa ne akunafoɔ a wɔne mo teɛ.

12 And thou shalt remember that thou wast a servant in Egypt: and thou shalt keep and do the things that are commanded.

Monkae sɛ, na moyɛ nkoa wɔ Misraim enti monhwɛ yie na monni saa mmara yi nyinaa so.

13 Thou shalt celebrate the solemnity also of tabernacles seven days, when thou hast gathered in thy fruit of the barnfloor and of the winepress.

Sɛ moboaboa mo ayuporobea ne mo nsakyimena mu adeɛ ano wie a, momfa nnanson nni Asese Afahyɛ no.

14 And thou shalt make merry in thy festival time, thou, thy son, and thy daughter, thy manservant, and thy maidservant, the Levite also and the stranger, and the fatherless and the widow that are within thy gates.

Saa afahyɛ yi bɛyɛ ahotɔ ne ahosɛpɛ berɛ ama mo ne mo abusuafoɔ, mo asomfoɔ ne Lewifoɔ, ahɔhoɔ, nwisiaa ne akunafoɔ a wɔfiri mo nkuro mu.

15 Seven days shalt thou celebrate feasts to the Lord thy God in the place which the Lord shall choose: and the Lord thy God will bless thee in all thy fruits, and in every work of thy hands, and thou shalt be in joy.

Nnanson na momfa nni saa afahyɛ yi mfa nhyɛ Awurade, mo Onyankopɔn, animuonyam wɔ baabi a ɔbɛyi, ɛfiri sɛ, Awurade mo Onyankopɔn na ɔma mo mfudeɛ bɔ pii na ɔhyira mo nnwuma nyinaa so. Saa afahyɛ yi yɛ ahosɛpɛ ma obiara.

16 Three times in a year shall all thy males appear before the Lord thy God in the place which he shall choose: in the feast of unleavened bread, in the feast of weeks, and in the feast of tabernacles. No one shall appear with his hands empty before the Lord:

Afe biara mu, ɛsɛ sɛ mo mmarima hyia wɔ mo Awurade, mo Onyankopɔn anim baabi a ɔbɛyi no mprɛnsa de ma Apiti Afahyɛ, Otwa berɛ Afahyɛ ne Asese Afahyɛ no. Ɛnsɛ sɛ obiara ba Awurade anim nsapan.

17 But every one shall offer according to what he hath, according to the blessing of the Lord his God, which he shall give him.

Obiara mma deɛ ne nsa bɛso so wɔ sɛdeɛ Awurade mo Onyankopɔn ahyira no.

18 Thou shalt appoint judges and magistrates in all thy gates, which the Lord thy God shall give thee, in all thy tribes: that they may judge the people with just judgment,

Monsisi atemmufoɔ ne mpanimfoɔ mfiri mo mmusuakuo biara mu wɔ nkuro a Awurade, mo Onyankopɔn de rema mo no mu. Wɔbɛbu atɛntenenee wɔ nsase no nyinaa so.

19 And not go aside to either part. Thou shalt not accept person nor gifts: for gifts blind the eyes of the wise, and change the words of the just.

Mommmu ntɛnkyea da biara da. Monnnye adanmudeɛ, ɛfiri sɛ, adanmudeɛ fira anyansafoɔ ani ma wɔsi gyinaeɛ de tia onyamesuroni asɛm.

20 Thou shalt follow justly after that which is just: that thou mayst live and possess the land, which the Lord thy God shall give thee.

Momma asɛntenenee nna adi sɛdeɛ ɛbɛma moatumi atena asase a Awurade mo Onyankopɔn de rema mo no so.

21 Thou shalt plant no grove, nor any tree near the altar of the Lord thy God:

Monnsisi nnua biara sɛ abosompɔ wɔ Awurade mo Onyankopɔn afɔrebukyia a morebɛsi ama no no ho.

22 Neither shalt thou make nor set up to thyself a statue: which things the Lord thy God hateth.

Saa ara nso na monnsi aboɔ adum nsom wɔn, ɛfiri sɛ, ɛyɛ Awurade mo Onyankopɔn akyiwadeɛ.
