Deuteronomium

“Yehowa fi Sinai bae,+

Na ofi Seir hyerɛn wɔn so.

Ɔhyerɛn fii Paran mmepɔw so,+

Ná ahotefo mpempem pii ka ne ho,+

Na n’asafodɔm wɔ ne nsa nifa so.+

 3 Ɔdɔɔ ne man;+

Wɔn akronkronfo nyinaa wɔ wo nsam.+

Wɔbɛtenatenaa wo nan ase;+

Wobetiee w’asɛm.+

 4 (Mose maa yɛn ahyɛde,

Mmara a ɛyɛ Yakob asafo no agyapade.)+

 5 Ɔbɛyɛɛ ɔhene wɔ Yesurun*+

Bere a ɔman no mpanyimfo+

Ne Israel mmusuakuw nyinaa+ hyiae no.

 6 Ma Ruben ntena ase, mma n’ase nnhyew,+

Na mma ne fi mmarima so nntew.”+

“O Yehowa, tie Yuda+ adesrɛ,

Na san fa no bra ne nkurɔfo mu.

Ɔde ne nsa abɔ n’agyapade ho ban;*

Boa no ma onni n’atamfo so nkonim.”+

“Wo* Tumim ne wo Urim+ no yɛ nea odi wo nokware no dea;+

Ɔno na wosɔɔ no hwɛe wɔ Masa no.+

Wo ne no dii asi wɔ Meriba nsu no ho.+

 9 Ɔno na ɔka kyerɛɛ ne papa ne ne maame sɛ, ‘Minnim mo.’

Ne nuanom mpo ɔpoo wɔn,+

Na ne mma nso, wankogyina wɔn afã.

Odii w’asɛm so,

Na okuraa w’apam mu.+

10 Ma wɔmfa w’atemmusɛm nkyerɛkyerɛ Yakob+

Na wɔnkyerɛ Israel wo Mmara.+

Ma wɔnhyew aduhuam mmɔ afɔre huamhuam mma wo,*+

Na wɔmmɔ ɔhyew afɔre wɔ w’afɔremuka so.+

11 O Yehowa, hyira no ma onnya ahoɔden,

Na ma w’ani nnye ne nsa ano adwuma ho.

Wɔn a wɔsɔre tia no no, bubu wɔn nan mu,*

Sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a n’atamfo rensɔre bio.”

“Ma nea Yehowa dɔ no no ntena ne nkyɛn dwoodwoo;

Ɔmmɔ ne ho ban da mu nyinaa,

Na ɔmfa no nsi akɔnkɔn.”

“Yehowa nhyira n’asaase,+

Na ɔmma no nneɛma pa a efi soro,

Obosu, ne nsu a efi fam.+

14 Ɔmma no nneɛma pa a owia ma enyin,

Na ɔmma no nnɔbae papa a bosome biara obetwa.+

15 Ɔmma no tete mmepɔw* so nneɛma a eye,+

Ne nkoko a etim hɔ daa so nneɛma pa.

16 Ɔmma no asaase so nneɛma pa ne nneɛma a ayɛ mu ma nyinaa bi,+

Na onnya nea oyii ne ho adi wɔ nwura* a ɛredɛw mu no+ anim dom.

Eyi nyinaa mmra Yosef so;

Ɛmmra nea wɔpaw no fii ne nuanom mu no so.+

17 N’anuonyam te sɛ nantwinini a ɔyɛ abakan,

Na ne mmɛn yɛ ɛkoɔ* mmɛn.

Ɛno na ɔde bepiapia* aman,

Na wɔn nyinaa akogu asaase ano.

Ɛno ne Efraim mpempem+

Ne Manase mpempem.”

“O Sebulon, ma w’ani nnye w’akwantu mu,

Isakar nso, ma w’ani nnye wɔ wo ntamadan mu.+

Na wɔbɛtwe* ɛpo mu agyapade bebree

Ne anwea mu ademude* a ahintaw.”

Ɔda hɔ te sɛ gyata,

Na basa ne eti na ɔrebɛtew afi so.

21 Ɔbɛpaw nea edi kan,+

Ɛhɔ ne ne kyɛfa a mmarahyɛfo de maa no.+

Ɔbɛda Yehowa trenee adi,

Ne n’atemmusɛm a ɛfa Israel ho.”

“Yehowa adom abu so ama Naftali,

Na ne nhyira ayɛ no ma.

Ma ne nuanom nnye no ntom,

Na ɔmfa ne nan mmɔ ngo mu.*

25 Dade ne kɔbere na ɛbrambram w’aponkɛse akyi,+

Na wo nkwa nna nyinaa wobɛtena ase dwoodwoo.

26 Obiara nni hɔ a ɔte sɛ Yesurun+ Nyankopɔn* no;+

Ɔno na ɔfa wim bɛboa wo,

Na ɔnam omununkum mu wɔ n’anuonyam mu.+

27 Onyankopɔn ne wo guankɔbea fi tete;+

N’abasa a ɛwɔ hɔ daa no kura wo mu.+

Ɔbɛpam w’atamfo afi w’anim,+

Na ɔbɛka sɛ, ‘Sɛe wɔn!’+

28 Israel bɛtena hɔ dwoodwoo,

Na Yakob abura bɛtena hɔ komm

Wɔ asaase a hwiit* ne bobesa foforo wɔ so so.+

Obosu befi soro asosɔ ama no.+

Hena na ɔte sɛ wo?+

Ɔman a wɔwɔ Yehowa nkwagye,+

Ɔno ne wo kyɛm a ɔbɔ wo ho ban+

Ne wo sekan kɛse.

Enti w’atamfo ho bɛpopo w’anim+

Na wo de, wubetiatia wɔn so.”*
