5 Mose 26

1 Sɛ moduru asase a Awurade, mo Onyankopɔn, de rebɛma mo sɛ mo agyapadeɛ sononko no so, na moko gye tena so a,

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

2 momfa otwakane wɔ otwa berɛ biara mu no ngu kɛntɛn mu na momfa mmra baabi a Awurade, mo Onyankopɔn, bɛyi 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 the LORD your God gives you; and you shall put it in a basket, and shall go to the place which the LORD your God shall choose, to cause his name to dwell there.

3 Monkɔ ɔsɔfoɔ a ɔwɔ hɔ saa ɛberɛ no nkyɛn na monka nkyerɛ no sɛ, “Menam saa akyɛdeɛ yi so reda no adi sɛ Awurade, yɛn Onyankopɔn, de me aba asase a ɔhyɛɛ mʼagyanom bɔ no so.”

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

4 Afei, ɔsɔfoɔ no bɛgye kɛntɛn no afiri wo nsam de asi Awurade, mo Onyankopɔn afɔrebukyia no anim.

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

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

You shall answer and say before the LORD 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 Ɛberɛ a Misraimfoɔ dii yɛn nya nam so ma yɛyɛɛ wɔn nkoa no,

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

7 yɛsu frɛɛ Awurade, yɛn agyanom Onyankopɔn. Ɔtee yɛn sufrɛ na ɔhunuu yɛn amanehunu, ɔbrɛ ne ɔhyɛ a yɛwɔ mu.

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

8 Enti, Awurade nam tumi a ɛyɛ nwanwa, ehubɔ a emu yɛ den, nsɛnkyerɛnneɛ a ɛpusu nnipa ne anwanwasɛm so gyee yɛn firii Misraim.

and the LORD 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 nufosuo ne ɛwoɔ resene 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, Ao Awurade, mede akyɛdeɛ a ɛyɛ mʼaduanekan a wode firi asase mu maa me no rebrɛ wo.” Afei, fa aduane no si Awurade, mo Onyankopɔn, anim na sɔre no.

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

11 Afei, kɔ na kɔgye wʼani wɔ nneɛma pa a Awurade, mo Onyankopɔn, de ama wo ne wo fiefoɔ no ho. Wʼanigyeɛ no mu, kae Lewifoɔ ne ahɔhoɔ a wɔte mo mu no nso.

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

12 Mfeɛ mmiɛnsa biara, ɛsɛ sɛ moma mo mfudeɛ ho ntotosoɔ dudu sononko. Ɛsɛ sɛ mode saa ntotosoɔ dudu sononko no ma Lewifoɔ, ahɔhoɔ, nwisiaa ne akunafoɔ sɛdeɛ ɛbɛyɛ a, wɔbɛnya bi adi amee wɔ mo nkuro 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 Onyankopɔn, anim sɛ, “Mede akyɛdeɛ kronkron a ɛfiri me fie ama Lewifoɔ, ahɔhoɔ, nwisiaa ne akunafoɔ sɛdeɛ wohyɛɛ me no. Memmuu wo mmara no bi so anaa me werɛ mfirii wo mmara no bi.

You shall say before the LORD 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 bi ɛberɛ a meretwa adwo anaasɛ ɛberɛ a na me ho nte no. Afei nso, mamfa me nsa anka bi, na mamfa mu bi nso amma awufoɔ. Matie Awurade, me Onyankopɔn, 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 the LORD my God; I have done according to all that you have commanded me.

15 Firi wo soro tenabea kronkron hɔ hwɛ fam na hyira wo nkurɔfoɔ Israel ne asase a wode ama yɛn no—asase a nufosuo ne ɛwoɔ retene wɔ so sɛdeɛ wohyɛɛ 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 Onyankopɔn, hyɛ mo ɛnnɛ sɛ, monni saa mmara yi nyinaa so; momfa mo akoma ne mo kra nyinaa nni so.

This day the LORD 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 ɛnnɛ sɛ, Awurade yɛ, mo Onyankopɔn, na mobɛnante nʼakwan so na mobɛdi ne mmara so ayɛ ɔsetie ama no.

You have declared the LORD 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 ɛnnɛ sɛ, moyɛ ne nkurɔfoɔ, nʼagyapadeɛ a nʼakoma da ho sɛdeɛ ɔhyɛɛ bɔ no; ɛno enti, ɛsɛ sɛ modi ne mmara nyinaa so.

and the LORD 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 kɛseɛ asene ɔman biara. Afei, mobɛnya nkamfoɔ, animuonyam, na mo din bɛhyeta. Mobɛyɛ ɔman a ɛyɛ kronkron ma Awurade, mo Onyankopɔn sɛdeɛ 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 the LORD your God, as he has spoken.
