5 Mose 26

1 Sɛ mudu asase a Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn no, de rebɛma mo sɛ mo agyapade no so na moko gye, na motena so a,

It shall be, when you have come in to the land which Jehovah your God gives you for an inheritance, and possess it, and dwell in it,

2 momfa otwakan wɔ otwabere biara mu no ngu kɛntɛn mu na momfa mmra baabi a Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn no, bɛpaw sɛ wɔnkamfo ne din wɔ hɔ no,

that you shall take of the first of all the fruit of the ground, which you shall bring in from your land that Jehovah your God gives you; and you shall put it in a basket, and shall go to the place which Jehovah your God shall choose, to cause his name to dwell there.

3 na monkɔ ɔsɔfo a ɔwɔ hɔ saa bere no nkyɛn nkɔka nkyerɛ no se, “Meda no adi nnɛ akyerɛ Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn no, sɛ Awurade de me aba asase a ɔkaa ho ntam kyerɛɛ yɛn agyanom no so.”

You shall come to the priest who shall be in those days, and tell him, "I profess this day to Jehovah my God, that I have come into the land which Jehovah swore to our fathers to give us."

4 Afei, ɔsɔfo no begye kɛntɛn no afi wo nsam de asi Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn no, afɔremuka no anim.

The priest shall take the basket out of your hand, and set it down before the altar of Jehovah your God.

5 Na wobɛka saa nsɛm yi wɔ Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn no, anim sɛ, “Na me tete agya Yakob yɛ ɔkwantuni Aramni a ɔkɔtenaa Misraim. Nʼabusua no yɛ ketewaa bi, nanso Misraim hɔ no, wɔdɔɔso bebree bɛyɛɛ ɔman kɛse.

You shall answer and say before Jehovah your God, "A wandering Aramean was my father, and he went down into Egypt, and lived there, few in number, and there he became a nation, great, mighty, and numerous.

6 Bere a Misraimfo dii yɛn nya nam so ma yɛyɛɛ wɔn nkoa no,

The Egyptians mistreated us, and afflicted us, and laid on us hard bondage:

7 yesu frɛɛ Awurade, yɛn agyanom Nyankopɔn no. Ɔtee yɛn sufrɛ na ohuu yɛn amanehunu, ɔbrɛ ne ɔhyɛ a na yɛwɔ mu.

and we cried to Jehovah, the God of our fathers, and Jehovah heard our voice, and saw our affliction, and our toil, and our oppression;

8 Enti Awurade nam tumi a ɛyɛ nwonwa, ehu a emu yɛ den, nsɛnkyerɛnne a epusuw nnipa ne anwonwasɛm so gyee yɛn fii Misraim.

and Jehovah brought us forth out of Egypt with a mighty hand, and with an outstretched arm, and with great terror, and with signs, and with wonders;

9 Ɔde yɛn baa ha na ɔde asase yi a nufusu ne ɛwo resen so yi maa yɛn.

and he has brought us into this place, and has given us this land, a land flowing with milk and honey.

10 Afei, Awurade, mede akyɛde a ɛyɛ mʼaduankan a wode fi asase mu maa me no rebrɛ wo.” Afei, fa aduan no si Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn no, anim na sɔre no.

Now, look, I have brought the first of the fruit of the ground, which you, Jehovah, have given me." You shall set it down before Jehovah your God, and worship before Jehovah your God.

11 Afei, kɔ na wo ne Lewifo ne ahɔho a wɔte mo mu no nkogye mo ani wɔ nneɛma pa a Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn no, de ama wo ne wo fifo no ho.

And you shall rejoice in all the good which Jehovah your God has given to you and to your house, you, and the Levite, and the foreigner who is among you.

12 Afe a ɛto so abiɛsa a ɛyɛ ntotoso du du afe a woayi wo nnɔbae so ntotoso du du awie no ɛsɛ sɛ mode ma Lewifo, ahɔho, nyisaa ne akunafo sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a wobedidi amee wɔ mo nkurow so.

When you have made an end of tithing all the tithe of your increase in the third year, which is the year of tithing, then you shall give it to the Levite, to the foreigner, to the fatherless, and to the widow, that they may eat within your gates, and be filled.

13 Afei, mompae mu nka wɔ Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn no, anim se, “Mede akyɛde kronkron a efi me fi ama Lewifo, ahɔho, nyisaa ne akunafo sɛnea wohyɛɛ me no. Mimmuu wʼahyɛde bi so anaa me werɛ mfii wo mmara no mu biara ɛ.

You shall say before Jehovah your God, "I have put away the holy things out of my house, and also have given them to the Levite, and to the foreigner, to the fatherless, and to the widow, according to all your commandment which you have commanded me: I have not transgressed any of your commandments, neither have I forgotten them:

14 Manni akronkronne no bi bere a meretwa adwo no, na bere a na me ho ntew no nso, mamfa me nsa anka bi; na mamfa mu bi nso amma awufo. Matie Awurade, me Nyankopɔn no, na mayɛ biribiara a wohyɛɛ me sɛ menyɛ no.

I have not eaten of it in my mourning, neither have I put away of it, being unclean, nor given of it for the dead: I have listened to the voice of Jehovah my God; I have done according to all that you have commanded me.

15 Fi wo soro tenabea kronkron hɔ hwɛ fam na hyira wo nkurɔfo Israel ne asase a wode ama yɛn no—asase a nufusu ne ɛwo resen wɔ so sɛnea wode ntam hyɛɛ yɛn agyanom bɔ no.”

Look down from your holy habitation, from heaven, and bless your people Israel, and the ground which you have given us, as you swore to our fathers, a land flowing with milk and honey."

16 Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn no, hyɛ mo nnɛ sɛ, munni saa ahyɛde ne mmara yi nyinaa so; momfa mo koma ne mo kra nyinaa nni so pɛpɛɛpɛ.

This day Jehovah your God commands you to do these statutes and ordinances: you shall therefore keep and do them with all your heart, and with all your soul.

17 Moapae mu aka no nnɛ se, Awurade yɛ, mo Nyankopɔn, na mobɛnantew nʼakwan so na mubedi ne mmara so ayɛ osetie ama no.

You have declared Jehovah this day to be your God, and that you would walk in his ways, and keep his statutes, and his commandments, and his ordinances, and listen to his voice:

18 Na Awurade aka no nnɛ se, moyɛ ne nkurɔfo, nʼagyapade a ne koma da ho sɛnea ɔhyɛɛ bɔ no; ɛno nti, ɛsɛ sɛ mudi nʼahyɛde nyinaa so.

and Jehovah has declared you this day to be a people for his own possession, as he has promised you, and that you should keep all his commandments;

19 Na sɛ moyɛ saa a, ɔbɛyɛ mo kɛse asen ɔman biara. Afei, mubenya nkamfo ne anuonyam a ɛboro aman a wayɛ no nyinaa de so. Mobɛyɛ ɔman a ɛyɛ kronkron ama Awurade, mo Nyankopɔn no, sɛnea ɔhyɛɛ bɔ no.

and to make you high above all nations that he has made, for fame, and for praise, and for honor; and that you may be a holy people to Jehovah your God, as he has spoken.
