Deuteronomy 16

1 Observe the month of Abib, and keep the Passover to the LORD your God; for in the month of Abib the LORD your God brought you forth out of Egypt by night.

Daa munni Twam Afahyɛ no wɔ ɔsram Abib no mu mma Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn, efisɛ ɔsram Abib mu da bi anadwo na Onyankopɔn yii mo fii Misraim.

2 You shall sacrifice the Passover to the LORD your God, of the flock and the herd, in the place which the LORD shall choose, to cause his name to dwell there.

Munkum anantwi anaa nguan sɛ Twam afɔrebɔde mma Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn no, wɔ faako a Awurade beyi sɛ atenae wɔ ne din mu no.

3 You shall eat no leavened bread with it. You shall eat unleavened bread with it seven days, even the bread of affliction; for you came forth out of the land of Egypt in haste: that you may remember the day when you came forth out of the land of Egypt all the days of your life.

Munnni mmɔkaw brodo nka ho; na mmom, nnanson so na munni apiti amanehunu brodo, efisɛ mufii Misraim ɔhare so, sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a mo nkwanna nyinaa mu no mobɛkae bere a mutu fii Misraim no.

4 No yeast shall be seen with you in all your borders seven days; neither shall any of the flesh, which you sacrifice the first day at evening, remain all night until the morning.

Mommma wonhu sɛ mowɔ mmɔkaw wɔ mo nkyɛn wɔ mo nsase nyinaa so nnanson. Mommma nam a mode bɔɔ afɔre da a edi kan no anwummere no nka gya so nkosi anɔpa.

5 You may not sacrifice the Passover within any of your gates, which the LORD your God gives you;

Mommɔ Twam Afahyɛ afɔre no wɔ nkurow a Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn no, de rema mo no mu biara so,

6 but at the place which the LORD your God shall choose, to cause his name to dwell in, there you shall sacrifice the Passover at evening, at the going down of the sun, at the season that you came forth out of Egypt.

gye faako a Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn no, beyi sɛ wɔnkamfo ne din wɔ hɔ no. Ɛhɔ na mommɔ Twam afɔre no anwummere mfa nni mo Misraimfi bere no afahyɛ.

7 You shall roast and eat it in the place which the LORD your God shall choose: and you shall turn in the morning, and go to your tents.

Montoto na monwe no wɔ faako a Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn no, bɛpaw ama mo no. Na ade kye a, monsan nkɔ mo ntamadan mu.

8 Six days you shall eat unleavened bread. On the seventh day shall be a solemn assembly to the LORD your God; you shall do no work.

Nnansia na momfa nni apiti, na ne nnanson so no, nnipa no nyinaa nhyia wɔ Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn no, anim. Na saa da no, obiara nyɛ adwuma.

9 You shall count for yourselves seven weeks: from the time you begin to put the sickle to the standing grain you shall begin to number seven weeks.

Mumfi bere a mubefi ase atwa atoko no nkan nnaawɔtwe ason.

10 You shall keep the feast of weeks to the LORD your God with a tribute of a freewill offering of your hand, which you shall give, according as the LORD your God blesses you:

Na monhwɛ sɛnea Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn no, asi ahyira mo no so mfi mo pɛ mu mmɔ afɔre, nnyina so nni Asese Afahyɛ no mma Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn no.

11 and you shall rejoice before the LORD your God, you, and your son, and your daughter, and your male servant, and your female servant, and the Levite who is within your gates, and the foreigner, and the fatherless, and the widow, who are in the midst of you, in the place which the LORD your God shall choose, to cause his name to dwell there.

Na munnye mo ani wɔ Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn no, anim wɔ faako a ɔbɛpaw sɛ atenae ma ne din no. Mo ne mo mmabarima ne mo mmabea, mo nkoa ne mo mfenaa, Lewifo a wɔwɔ mo nkurow mu ne ahɔho, nyisaa ne akunafo a wɔne mo te nyinaa.

12 You shall remember that you were a bondservant in Egypt: and you shall observe and do these statutes.

Monkae sɛ na moyɛ nkoa wɔ Misraim enti monhwɛ yiye na munni saa mmara yi nyinaa so.

13 You shall keep the feast of tents seven days, after that you have gathered in from your threshing floor and from your winepress:

Sɛ moboaboa mo awiporowbea ne mo nsakyi amoa mu ade ano wie a, momfa nnanson nni Asese Afahyɛ no.

14 and you shall rejoice in your feast, you, and your son, and your daughter, and your male servant, and your female servant, and the Levite, and the foreigner, and the fatherless, and the widow, who are within your gates.

Munnye mo ani wɔ mo afahyɛ yi se; mo ne mo abusuafo, mo asomfo ne Lewifo, ahɔho, nyisaa ne akunafo a wofi mo nkurow mu.

15 You shall keep a feast to the LORD your God seven days in the place which the LORD shall choose; because the LORD your God will bless you in all your increase, and in all the work of your hands, and you shall be altogether joyful.

Momfa nnanson nni saa afahyɛ yi mfa nhyɛ Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn no, anuonyam wɔ faako a ɔbɛpaw, efisɛ Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn no, na ɔma mo nnɔbae bɔ pii na ohyira mo nnwuma nyinaa so; na mo anigye bewie pɛyɛ.

16 Three times in a year shall all your males appear before the LORD your God in the place which he shall choose: in the feast of unleavened bread, and in the feast of weeks, and in the feast of tents; and they shall not appear before the LORD empty:

Afe biara mu no, ɛsɛ sɛ mo mmarima no nyinaa hyia wɔ mo Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn no, anim faako a ɔbɛpaw no mprɛnsa de ama Apiti Afahyɛ, Otwabere Afahyɛ ne Asese Afahyɛ no. Ɛnsɛ sɛ obiara ba Awurade anim nsapan.

17 every man shall give as he is able, according to the blessing of the LORD your God which he has given you.

Ɛsɛ sɛ obiara de akyɛde a ɛne nhyira a Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn no, nhyira no no sɛ ba.

18 You shall make judges and officers in all your gates, which the LORD your God gives you, according to your tribes; and they shall judge the people with righteous judgment.

Munsisi atemmufo ne mpanyimfo mfi mo mmusuakuw biara mu wɔ nkurow a Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn no, de rema mo no mu, na wobebu nnipa no atɛntrenee.

19 You shall not wrest justice: you shall not respect persons; neither shall you take a bribe; for a bribe does blind the eyes of the wise, and pervert the words of the righteous.

Mummmu ntɛnkyew anaa monnhwɛ nnipa anim mmu atɛn. Monnnye adanmude, efisɛ adanmude fura onyansafo ani ma ɔdan nea odi bem no asɛm ani.

20 You shall follow that which is altogether just, that you may live, and inherit the land which the LORD your God gives you.

Mummu atɛntrenee nkutoo, na ama moatumi atena asase a Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn no, de rema mo no so.

21 You shall not plant for yourselves an Asherah of any kind of tree beside the altar of the LORD your God, which you shall make for yourselves.

Mummfi afɔremuka a mubesi ama Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn no, akyi nsi abosonnua foforo biara,

22 Neither shall you set yourself up a pillar; which the LORD your God hates.

na munnsi ɔbo kronkron, efisɛ Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn no, kyi eyinom.
