Deuteronomy 6

1 Now these are the commandments, the statutes, and the judgments, which the LORD your God commanded to teach you, that ye may do them in the land where ye go to possess it:

Eyinom ne ahyɛde, mmara ne nhyehyɛe a Awurade mo Nyankopɔn ka kyerɛɛ me se menkyerɛkyerɛ mo na munni so wɔ asase a moretwa Yordan akɔfa no so,

2 That thou mayest fear the LORD thy God, to keep all his statutes and his commandments, which I command thee, thou, and thy son, and thy son’s son, all the days of thy life; and that thy days may be prolonged.

sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a mo mma ne wɔn mma besuro Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn, mmere dodow a mote ase no, na moadi ne mmara ne nʼahyɛde a mede ma mo no nyinaa so nyinaa so a mo nkwanna aware.

3 Hear therefore, O Israel, and observe to do it; that it may be well with thee, and that ye may increase mightily, as the LORD God of thy fathers hath promised thee, in the land that floweth with milk and honey.

Muntie, Ao Israel, na monhwɛ yiye nni so sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a ebesi mo yiye na mo ase atrɛw yiye wɔ asase a nufusu ne ɛwo resen wɔ so no so sɛnea Awurade, mo agyanom Nyankopɔn, hyɛɛ mo ho bɔ no.

4 Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD:

Tie, Ao Israel, Awurade yɛn Nyankopɔn yɛ Awurade koro.

5 And thou shalt love the LORD thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might.

Dɔ Awurade wo Nyankopɔn fi wo koma nyinaa mu ne wo kra nyinaa mu ne wʼahoɔden nyinaa mu.

6 And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be in thy heart:

Momma saa mmaransɛm a mede rema wo nnɛ yi ntena mo koma mu.

7 And thou shalt teach them diligently to thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thy house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up.

Momfa nhyɛ mo mma mu. Sɛ mote fie anaa monam ɔkwan so, sɛ moda hɔ anaa mosɔre a, monka ho asɛm.

8 And thou shalt bind them for a sign upon thy hand, and they shall be as frontlets between thy eyes.

Monkyekye no sɛ agyiraehyɛde mmɔ mo nsa na momfa bi mmɔ abotiri.

9 And thou shalt write them upon the posts of thy house, and on thy gates.

Monkyerɛw ngu mo afi apongua ne mo abobow ano apon so.

10 And it shall be, when the LORD thy God shall have brought thee into the land which he swore to thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give thee great and goodly cities, which thou didst not build,

Awurade mo Nyankopɔn de mo ba asase a ɔkaa ntam sɛ ɔde bɛma mo agyanom Abraham, Isak ne Yakob no, asase a nkuropɔn a ɛnyɛ mo na mokyekyeree ahyɛ so ma no so,

11 And houses full of all good things, which thou didst not fill, and dug wells, which thou didst not dig, vineyards and olive trees, which thou didst not plant; when thou shalt have eaten and be full;

afi a nneɛma pa ahorow a ɛnyɛ mo na moyɛe ahyɛ no ma, mmura a ɛnyɛ mo na mututui, bobeturo a ɛnyɛ mo na moyɛe ne ngonnua a ɛnyɛ mo na muduae no so. Sɛ mudidi mee wɔ saa asase yi so a,

12 Then beware lest thou shouldest forget the LORD, who brought thee forth from the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage.

monhwɛ yiye na mo werɛ amfi Awurade a ogyee mo fii nkoasom mu wɔ Misraim asase so no.

13 Thou shalt fear the LORD thy God, and serve him, and shalt swear by his name.

Ɛsɛ sɛ musuro Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn, na mosom ɔno nko ara. Ne din nko ara na momfa nka ntam.

14 Ye shall not go after other gods, of the gods of the people which are around you;

Munnni anyame foforo akyi; anyame a wɔyɛ nnipa a wɔatwa mo ho ahyia no anyame no;

15 (For the LORD thy God is a jealous God among you) lest the anger of the LORD thy God should be kindled against thee, and destroy thee from off the face of the earth.

na Awurade mo Nyankopɔn a ɔwɔ mo ntam no yɛ Onyankopɔn ninkufo a nʼabufuw no bɛhyew mo, na ɔbɛsɛe mo afi asase no so.

16 Ye shall not tempt the LORD your God, as ye tempted him in Massah.

Monnsɔ Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn, nhwɛ sɛnea moyɛe bere a na mowɔ Masa no.

17 Ye shall diligently keep the commandments of the LORD your God, and his testimonies, and his statutes, which he hath commanded thee.

Ɛsɛ sɛ mudi Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn, ahyɛde ne nea ɛwɔ mmara a ɔde ama mo no mu no so pɛpɛɛpɛ.

18 And thou shalt do that which is right and good in the sight of the LORD: that it may be well with thee, and that thou mayest go in and possess the good land which the LORD swore to thy fathers,

Monyɛ de ɛteɛ na eye wɔ Awurade ani so na biribiara awie mo yiye. Na moakɔ akɔfa asase pa a Awurade hyɛɛ ho bɔ kyerɛɛ mo agyanom no,

19 To cast out all thy enemies from before thee, as the LORD hath spoken.

na moapam atamfo a wɔwɔ mo anim no nyinaa sɛnea Awurade kae no.

20 And when thy son shall ask thee in time to come, saying, What mean the testimonies, and the statutes, and the judgments, which the LORD our God hath commanded you?

Daakye bi, sɛ mo mma bisa mo se, “Saa mmara ne nʼahyɛde a Awurade, yɛn Nyankopɔn, de ama mo yi ase ne dɛn?”

21 Then thou shalt say to thy son, We were Pharaoh’s slaves in Egypt; and the LORD brought us out of Egypt with a mighty hand:

a monka nkyerɛ wɔn se, “Na yɛyɛ Farao nkoa wɔ Misraim nanso Awurade nam anwonwatumi so yii yɛn fii Misraim.

22 And the LORD showed signs and wonders, great and terrible, upon Egypt, upon Pharaoh, and upon all his household, before our eyes:

Yɛn ani tua Awurade nsɛnkyerɛnne ne anwonwade akɛse na ɛyɛ hu a ɔyɛ tiaa Misraim, Farao ne ne nkurɔfo nyinaa.

23 And he brought us out from there, that he might bring us in, to give us the land which he swore to our fathers.

Oyii yɛn fii Misraim sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a, obetumi de asase a wahyɛ yɛn agyanom ho bɔ no ama yɛn.

24 And the LORD commanded us to do all these statutes, to fear the LORD our God, for our good always, that he might preserve us alive, as it is at this day.

Na Awurade yɛn Nyankopɔn hyɛɛ yɛn sɛ yenni mmara no nyinaa so na yɛmfa obu ne nidi mma no sɛnea ɛbɛma asi yɛn yiye daakye sɛnea ɛte nnɛ yi.

25 And it shall be our righteousness, if we observe to do all these commandments before the LORD our God, as he hath commanded us.

Efisɛ sɛ yedi mmara no nyinaa a Awurade, yɛn Nyankopɔn, de ama yɛn no so a, ɛbɛyɛ yɛn trenee.”
