Deuteronomy 10
1 At that time Jehovah said to me, Hew thee two tablets of stone like the first, and come up to me onto the mount, and make thee an ark of wood.
“Yehowa gblɔ nam ɣe ma ɣi be makpa kpe eve bubu abe gbãtɔwo ene, matsɔ ati akpa aɖaka aɖe si me woatsɔ kpe eveawo adzra ɖo la, eye matrɔ ava ye, Mawu gbɔ le toa dzi.
2 And I will write on the tablets the words that were on the first tablets which thou broke, and thou shall put them in the ark.
Egblɔ nam be yeagbugbɔ se siwo tututu yeŋlɔ ɖe kpe siwo megbã dzi la aŋlɔ ɖe kpe yeyeawo dzi, eye matsɔ wo ade Aɖaka la me.
3 So I made an ark of acacia wood, and hewed two tablets of stone like the first, and went up onto the mount, having the two tablets in my hand.
Ale metsɔ akasiati wɔ Aɖaka la. Mekpa kpe eve abe gbãtɔwo ene hetsɔ wo yi na Yehowa le to la dzi.
4 And he wrote on the tablets according to the first writing, the ten commandments, which Jehovah spoke to you in the mount out of the midst of the fire in the day of the assembly, and Jehovah gave them to me.
Egaŋlɔ Se Ewoawo ɖe wo dzi tsɔ nam. Wonye se siwo tututu wònam tso dzo bibi la ƒe titina le toa dzi le mi katã ŋkume le to la te.
5 And I turned and came down from the mount, and put the tablets in the ark which I had made. And they are there as Jehovah commanded me.
Meɖi eye metsɔ kpe eveawo de Aɖaka si mekpa la me. Wole afi ma va se ɖe egbe abe ale si Yehowa ɖo nam ene.
6 (And the sons of Israel journeyed from Beeroth Bene-jaakan to Moserah. There Aaron died, and there he was buried, and Eleazar his son ministered in the priest's office in his stead.
“Le esia megbe la, Israelviwo zɔ mɔ tso Bene Yaakan yi Mosera afi si Aron ku, eye woɖii ɖo. Aron ƒe viŋutsu Eleaza zu nunɔla ɖe eteƒe.
7 From there they journeyed to Gudgodah, and from Gudgodah to Jotbathah, a land of brooks of water.
“Wozɔ mɔ yi Gudgoda heyi Yotbata, afi si tsi bɔ ɖo.
8 At that time Jehovah set apart the tribe of Levi, to bear the ark of the covenant of Jehovah, to stand before Jehovah to minister to him, and to bless in his name, to this day.
Afi mae Yehowa ɖe Levi ƒe viwo ɖe aga le be woakɔ nubablaɖaka si me Yehowa ƒe Se Ewoawo le, eye woanɔ tsitre ɖe Yehowa ŋkume awɔ Yehowa ƒe dɔ, ade bubu eƒe ŋkɔ ŋu abe ale si wowɔna egbe ene.
9 Therefore Levi has no portion nor inheritance with his brothers. Jehovah is his inheritance, according as Jehovah thy God spoke to him.)
Eya ta womena anyigba Levitɔwo le Ŋugbedodonyigba la dzi abe ale si wona wo nɔvi to bubu me tɔwo ene o, elabena Yehowa, miaƒe Mawu gblɔ na wo be ye ŋutɔe nye woƒe domenyinu.
10 And I stayed on the mount as at the first time, forty days and forty nights, and Jehovah hearkened to me that time also: Jehovah would not destroy thee.
Abe ale si megblɔ do ŋgɔe ene la, menɔ to la dzi le Yehowa ŋkume zi evelia ŋkeke blaene kple zã blaene, abe ale si mewɔ zi gbãtɔ ene. Yehowa ɖo to nye kokoƒoƒo, eye metsrɔ̃ mi o.
11 And Jehovah said to me, Arise, take thy journey before the people, and they shall go in and possess the land, which I swore to their fathers to give to them.
“Ke egblɔ nam be, ‘Tso, nàkplɔ ameawo yi anyigba si ŋugbe medo na wo fofowo la dzi. Ɣeyiɣi la de be woayi aɖaxɔe!’”
12 And now, Israel, what does Jehovah thy God require of thee, but to fear Jehovah thy God, to walk in all his ways, and to love him, and to serve Jehovah thy God with all thy heart and with all thy soul,
“Azɔ, Israel, nu ka Yehowa, wò Mawu la di tso asiwò wu be nàvɔ̃ Yehowa, wò Mawu la, nàzɔ le eƒe mɔwo katã dzi, nàlɔ̃e, eye nàsubɔe kple wò dzi blibo kple wò luʋɔ blibo,
13 to keep the commandments of Jehovah, and his statutes, which I command thee this day for thy good?
eye nàwɔ ɖe Yehowa ƒe sewo kple ɖoɖo siwo katã mena mi egbe la dzi ale be wòanyo na wò?
14 Behold, to Jehovah thy God belongs heaven and the heaven of heavens, the earth, with all that is in it.
Kpɔ ɖa, anyigba kple dziƒo ƒe kɔkɔƒe kekeake nye Yehowa, wò Mawu la tɔ.
15 Only Jehovah had a delight in thy fathers to love them, and he chose their seed after them, even you above all peoples as at this day.
Ke mia fofowo ƒe nu nyo eŋu, eye wòlɔ̃ wo ale gbegbe be wòtia mi, wo viwo, be miaƒo dukɔwo katã ta abe ale si wòle dzedzem egbe ene,
16 Circumcise therefore the foreskin of your heart, and be no more stiff-necked.
eya ta mikɔ miaƒe nu vɔ̃ dziwo ŋu, eye miadzudzɔ kɔlialiatɔwo ƒe agbenɔnɔ.
17 For Jehovah your God, he is God of gods, and Lord of lords, the great God, the mighty, and the awesome, who regards not persons, nor takes reward.
“Yehowa, miaƒe Mawu lae nye mawuwo dzi Mawu gã, ŋusẽtɔ la, Mawu si ŋu ŋɔdzi le, ame si medea ame aɖeke dzi o, eye mexɔa zãnu hã o.
18 He executes justice for the fatherless and widow, and loves the sojourner in giving him food and raiment.
Ewɔa nu dzɔdzɔe na tsyɔ̃eviwo kple ahosiwo. Elɔ̃a amedzrowo, eye wònaa nuɖuɖu kple nutata wo.
19 Love ye therefore the sojourner, for ye were sojourners in the land of Egypt.
Ele be miawo hã mialɔ̃ amedzrowo, elabena miawo hã mienye amedzrowo le Egiptenyigba dzi kpɔ.
20 Thou shall fear Jehovah thy God. Him thou shall serve, and to him thou shall cling, and by his name thou shall swear.
Ele be miavɔ̃ Yehowa, miaƒe Mawu la, miasubɔe anukwaretɔe, mialé ɖe eŋu, eye miaka atam ɖe eya ɖeɖe ko ƒe ŋkɔ dzi.
21 He is thy praise, and he is thy God, who has done for thee these great and awesome things, which thine eyes have seen.
Eyae nye wò kafukafu, eye wòganye wò Mawu, ame si wɔ nukunu gã siwo teƒe miawo ŋutɔ miekpɔ.
22 Thy fathers went down into Egypt, in souls, seventy. And now Jehovah thy God has made thee as the stars of heaven for multitude.
Mia fofowo dometɔ ame blaadre koe yi Egipte, gake azɔ la, Yehowa, miaƒe Mawu la wɔ mi miedzi sɔ gbɔ abe ɣletiviwo le dziŋgɔli me ene!”
