Deuteronomy 10

At that time the Lord said to me, “Chisel out two stone tablets like the first ones and come up to me on the mountain. Also make a wooden ark.^[a]

“Mereka nokware akyerɛ mo, onipa biara a ɔmfa nguandan kwan ano na ɔforo kɔ mu no yɛ owifo.

I will write on the tablets the words that were on the first tablets, which you broke. Then you are to put them in the ark.”

Onipa a ɔfa ɔkwan ano kɔ mu no ne oguanhwɛfo no.

So I made the ark out of acacia wood and chiseled out two stone tablets like the first ones, and I went up on the mountain with the two tablets in my hands.

Ɔpon no anohwɛfo no bue pon no ma no, na sɛ ɔfrɛ nguan no nso a, wɔte ne nne ma ɔde wɔn fi adi.

The Lord wrote on these tablets what he had written before, the Ten Commandments he had proclaimed to you on the mountain, out of the fire, on the day of the assembly. And the Lord gave them to me.

Sɛ ɔde wɔn fi adi a, odi nguan no anim na nguan no nso di n’akyi, efisɛ, wɔte ne nne.

Then I came back down the mountain and put the tablets in the ark I had made, as the Lord commanded me, and they are there now.

Wɔrenni onipa foforo biara akyi. Na sɛ ɔfrɛ wɔn a, wɔremma, efisɛ, wɔnte ne nne.”

(The Israelites traveled from the wells of Bene Jaakan to Moserah. There Aaron died and was buried, and Eleazar his son succeeded him as priest.

Yesu buu wɔn saa bɛ yi nanso nnipa no ante no ase.

From there they traveled to Gudgodah and on to Jotbathah, a land with streams of water.

Yesu ka kyerɛɛ wɔn bio se, “Mereka nokware akyerɛ mo se, mene nguandan no ano pon no.

At that time the Lord set apart the tribe of Levi to carry the ark of the covenant of the Lord, to stand before the Lord to minister and to pronounce blessings in his name, as they still do today.

Wɔn a wodii m’anim kan no yɛ awifo ne adwotwafo ɛno nti, nguan no ante wɔn nne, anni wɔn akyi.

That is why the Levites have no share or inheritance among their fellow Israelites; the Lord is their inheritance, as the Lord your God told them.)

Mene ɔpon no. Obiara a ɔnam me so bewura mu no benya nkwa; obewura mu asan afi adi na obenya adidibea.

Now I had stayed on the mountain forty days and forty nights, as I did the first time, and the Lord listened to me at this time also. It was not his will to destroy you.

Owifo ba a, obewia anaasɛ obedi awu anaasɛ ɔbɛsɛe ade. Me de, maba sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a mubenya nkwa a ɛho nni asɛm biara.

“Go,” the Lord said to me, “and lead the people on their way, so that they may enter and possess the land I swore to their ancestors to give them.”

Fear the Lord

“Mene Oguanhwɛfo pa no. Oguahwɛfo pa no ne obi a otumi de ne nkwa to hɔ ma ne nguan.

And now, Israel, what does the Lord your God ask of you but to fear the Lord your God, to walk in obedience to him, to love him, to serve the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul,

Obi a wɔabɔ no paa sɛ ɔnhwɛ nguan so no nyɛ nguan no wura ɛno nti, sɛ ohu sɛ pataku reba a, oguan gyaw nguan no hɔ na pataku no tow hyɛ nguan no so ma wɔbɔ apete.

and to observe the Lord’s commands and decrees that I am giving you today for your own good?

Ɔpaani no guan efisɛ, wɔabɔ no paa, na nguan no yiyedi mfa ne ho.

To the Lord your God belong the heavens, even the highest heavens, the earth and everything in it.

“Mene Oguanhwɛfo pa no. Minim me nguan na me nguan nso nim me,

Yet the Lord set his affection on your ancestors and loved them, and he chose you, their descendants, above all the nations—as it is today.

sɛnea Agya no nim me na me nso minim Agya no. Masiesie me ho nso sɛ mewu ama nguan no.

Circumcise your hearts, therefore, and do not be stiff-necked any longer.

Nguan afoforo bi wɔ hɔ a wɔyɛ me de nanso wonnya mmɛkaa saa nguankuw yi ho. Ɛsɛ sɛ mede wɔn nso bɛka saa nguankuw yi ho. Wobetie me nne na wɔbɛyɛ nguankuw baako a oguanhwɛfo baako pɛ na ɔhwɛ wɔn so.

For the Lord your God is God of gods and Lord of lords, the great God, mighty and awesome, who shows no partiality and accepts no bribes.

“Agya no dɔ me efisɛ, masiesie me ho sɛ mede me nkwa bɛto hɔ sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a daakye me nsa bɛka bio.

He defends the cause of the fatherless and the widow, and loves the foreigner residing among you, giving them food and clothing.

Obiara rentumi nnye me nkwa mfi me nsam. Me ara me pɛ mu na mede bɛma. Mewɔ tumi sɛ mede ma na mewɔ tumi nso sɛ mesan gye bio. Eyi ne nea m’agya ahyɛ me sɛ menyɛ no.”

And you are to love those who are foreigners, for you yourselves were foreigners in Egypt.

Asɛm a Yesu kae no nti ɛmaa mpaepaemu baa Yudafo no mu.

Fear the Lord your God and serve him. Hold fast to him and take your oaths in his name.

Wɔn mu pii kae se, “Ɔwɔ hohommɔne! N’adwene mu ka no! Adɛn nti na mutie no?”

He is the one you praise; he is your God, who performed for you those great and awesome wonders you saw with your own eyes.

Afoforo nso kae se, “Onipa a ɔwɔ hohommɔne rentumi nkasa sɛɛ! Ɛbɛyɛ dɛn na obi a ɔwɔ hohommɔne betumi ama anifuraefo ahu ade?”

Yudafo nnye Yesu nni

Your ancestors who went down into Egypt were seventy in all, and now the Lord your God has made you as numerous as the stars in the sky.

Ɔpɛ bere bi mu a Asɔredandwira dui wɔ Yerusalem no,

Yesu kɔpasee asɔredan no mu baabi a wɔfrɛ no Solomon abrannaa no so hɔ.

Yudafo no betwaa ne ho hyiae kae se, “Wobɛma yɛatwɛn akosi da bɛn? Sɛ wone Kristo no a, pae mu ka kyerɛ yɛn.”

Yesu ka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Maka akyerɛ mo dedaw nanso munnye me nni. Me nnwuma a menam m’agya tumi mu yɛ no di me ho adanse,

nanso munnye nni, efisɛ, monyɛ me nguan.

Me nguan te me nne, me nso minim wɔn na wodi m’akyi.

Mema wɔn nkwa a enni awiei a wɔrenwu da, na obi rentumi nnye wɔn mfi me nsam.

M’agya a ɔde wɔn maa me no wɔ tumi sen obiara, na obiara rentumi nnye wɔn mfi me nsam.

Me ne Agya no yɛ baako.”

Yudafo no san tasee abo sɛ anka wɔde rebesiw no.

Yesu ka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Mayɛ nnwuma pa pii a Agya no de hyɛɛ me nsa sɛ menyɛ no ama moahu, na emu nea ɛwɔ he ho nti na mopɛ sɛ musiw me abo yi?”

Yudafo no buaa no se, “Ɛnyɛ wo nnwuma pa bi a woayɛ no nti na yɛpɛ sɛ yesiw wo abo, na mmom w’abususɛm a wokae no nti. Woyɛ onipa dasani nso woyɛ wo ho sɛ Onyankopɔn!”

Yesu buaa wɔn se, “Wɔakyerɛw wɔ mo ara ankasa mo mmara mu se, Onyankopɔn kae se, ‘Moyɛ anyame.’

”Ɛno nti, sɛ Onyankopɔn nam anyamesɛm a ɛyɛ nokware so frɛ wɔn a Onyankopɔn asɛm baa wɔn nkyɛn no se ‘anyame’ a,

ɛyɛ dɛn na sɛ nea Agya no somaa no baa wiase no ka se, mene Onyankopɔn Ba no a, muse waka abususɛm?

Sɛ menyɛ nnwuma a m’agya pɛ sɛ meyɛ no de a, ɛnne munnnye me nnni.

Nanso sɛ meyɛ m’agya no nnwuma na sɛ munnye me nni mpo a, munnye nnwuma no nni sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a mubegye adi sɛ Agya no wɔ me mu na me nso mewɔ ne mu.”

Nkurɔfo no pɛe sɛ wɔkyere no bio nanso wɔantumi.

Yesu san twa kɔɔ Yordan agya wɔ faako a Yohane bɔ asu no kɔtenaa hɔ.

Nnipa bebree kɔɔ ne nkyɛn. Wɔn mu dodow no ara kae se, “Yohane anyɛ anwonwade, nanso biribiara a ɔka faa saa ɔbarima yi ho no yɛ nokware.”

Nnipa a wɔwɔ hɔ no mu bebree gyee no dii.
