Deuteronomy 29
1 These are the words of the covenant which Jehovah commanded Moses to make with the sons of Israel in the land of Moab, besides the covenant which he made with them in Horeb.
Mose gbugbɔ nubabla si Yehowa wɔ kple Israelviwo le Horeb to la dzi la gblɔ le Moab gbedzi.
2 And Moses called to all Israel, and said to them, Ye have seen all that Jehovah did before your eyes in the land of Egypt to Pharaoh, and to all his servants, and to all his land,
Mose yɔ Israelviwo katã ƒo ƒu, eye wògblɔ na wo be: Miawo ŋutɔ miekpɔ nu siwo katã Yehowa wɔ Farao, eŋumewo kple anyigba blibo la le Egipte.
3 the great trials which thine eyes saw, the signs, and those great wonders,
Miawo ŋutɔ miaƒe ŋkuwo kpɔ dɔvɔ̃wo, dzesi wɔnukuwo kple nukunu bubuawo,
4 yet Jehovah has not given you a heart to know, and eyes to see, and ears to hear, to this day.
gake va se ɖe egbe la, Yehowa mena dzi nyanu mi be miase nu gɔme o, mena ŋku mi be miakpɔ nu o, eye mena to mi be miase nu o!
5 And I have led you forty years in the wilderness. Your clothes have not grown old upon you, and thy shoe has not grown old upon thy foot.
Ekplɔ mi to gbedzi ƒe blaene sɔŋ, gake miaƒe awuwo medo xoxo o, eye miaƒe tokotawo te menyi o!
6 Ye have not eaten bread, neither have ye drunk wine or strong drink, that ye may know that I am Jehovah your God.
Nu si ta Yehowa mena mietɔ ɖe teƒe ɖeka be miaƒã bli na abolowɔwɔ alo miado waintiwo hena wain kple aha sesẽ o lae nye be miadze sii be Yehowa, miaƒe Mawu lae le mia dzi kpɔm.
7 And when ye came to this place, Sihon the king of Heshbon, and Og the king of Bashan, came out against us to battle, and we smote them.
Esi míeva ɖo afi sia la, Fia Sixɔn tso Hesbon kple Fia Ɔg tso Basan kpe aʋa kpli mí, ke míeɖu wo dzi;
8 And we took their land, and gave it for an inheritance to the Reubenites, and to the Gadites, and to the half-tribe of the Manassites.
míexɔ woƒe anyigba, eye míetsɔe na Ruben ƒe viwo kple Gad ƒe viwo kple Manase ƒe viwo ƒe afã abe woƒe domenyinu ene,
9 Keep therefore the words of this covenant, and do them, that ye may prosper in all that ye do.
eya ta milé nubabla sia me nyawo me ɖe asi, eye miawɔ wo dzi be, nu sia nu si miawɔ la nadze edzi na mi.
10 Ye stand this day all of you before Jehovah your God-your heads, your tribes, your elders, and your officers, even all the men of Israel,
Mi katã, miele tsitre ɖe Yehowa miaƒe Mawu ƒe ŋkume egbe. Miaƒe kplɔlawo, ʋɔnudrɔ̃lawo, ametsitsiawo kple Israel ƒe ŋutsuwo katã,
11 your little ones, your wives, and thy sojourner who is in the midst of thy camps, from the hewer of thy wood to the drawer of thy water-
vidzĩwo, mia srɔ̃wo, miaƒe amedzrowo, nakefɔlawo kple tsikulawo katã mietsi tsitre ɖe Yehowa, miaƒe Mawu la ŋkume egbea.
12 that thou may enter into the covenant of Jehovah thy God, and into his oath, which Jehovah thy God makes with thee this day,
Miele tsitre ɖe afi sia be miawɔ nubabla kple Yehowa, miaƒe Mawu la, eye miage ɖe nubabla si wòle wɔwɔm kpli mi egbe la me.
13 that he may establish thee this day to himself for a people, and that he may be to thee a God, as he spoke to thee, and as he swore to thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.
Edi be yeali ke mi egbe abe yeƒe dukɔ ene, eye yeaka ɖe edzi na mi be yee nye miaƒe Mawu, abe ale si wòdo ŋugbee na mia tɔgbuiwo, Abraham, Isak kple Yakob ene.
14 Neither with you only do I make this covenant and this oath,
Mele nubabla sia wɔm kpli mi, ame siwo le tsitre ɖe afi sia egbe la ɖeɖe ko o,
15 but with him who stands here with us this day before Jehovah our God, and also with him who is not here with us this day
ke boŋ ele ewɔm kple Israel ƒe dzidzimevi siwo ava dzɔ hã.
16 (for ye know how we dwelt in the land of Egypt, and how we came through the midst of the nations through which ye passed,
Eme kɔ ƒãa be, mieɖo ŋku ale si mienɔ Egiptenyigba dzi, ale si miedzoe kple ale si mieto futɔwo ƒe anyigba dzi la dzi.
17 and ye have seen their abominations, and their idols, wood and stone, silver and gold, which were among them).
Miekpɔ woƒe mawu ɖigbɔ̃ siwo wowɔ kple ati, kpe, klosalo kple sika.
18 Lest there should be among you man, or woman, or family, or tribe, whose heart turns away this day from Jehovah our God, to go to serve the gods of those nations. Lest there should be among you a root that bears gall and wormwood,
Gbe si gbe mia dometɔ aɖe, ŋutsu alo nyɔnu, ƒome aɖe alo Israel ƒe to aɖe atrɔ tso Yehowa, miaƒe Mawu la gbɔ be yeasubɔ dukɔ bubuawo ƒe mawu siawo la, gbe ma gbe la, ame ma anɔ abe ati aɖe si ƒe ke ave ɖihaɖiha, eye wòanɔ abe aɖi ene.
19 and it comes to pass, when he hears the words of this curse, that he blesses himself in his heart, saying, I shall have peace, though I walk in the stubbornness of my heart, to destroy the moist with the dry.
Ne ame sia tɔgbi se atamkaka sia, evɔ wòhegblɔ yayranyawo kɔ ɖe eɖokui dzi, eye wòbu le eƒe susu me be, “Manɔ dedie togbɔ be melé nye mɔ tsɔ hã” la, esia ahe gbegblẽ ava anyigba si wode tsii kple esi le ƒuƒui la siaa dzi.
20 Jehovah will not pardon him, but then the anger of Jehovah and his jealousy will smoke against that man, and all the curse that is written in this book shall lie upon him, and Jehovah will blot out his name from under heaven.
Yehowa makpɔ nublanui na ame o! Eƒe dɔmedzoe kple ŋuʋaʋã abi dzo ɖe ame ma ŋu, eye fiƒode siwo katã woŋlɔ ɖe agbalẽ sia me la adze ame ma dzi, aɖi eŋu, eye Yehowa atutu eƒe ŋkɔ ɖa le dziƒoa te.
21 And Jehovah will set him apart to evil out of all the tribes of Israel, according to all the curses of the covenant that is written in this book of the law.
Yehowa aɖe ame ma ɖe vovo tso Israelviwo ƒe towo katã gbɔ, eye wòakɔ Segbalẽ sia me fiƒode ɖe ame siwo katã mazɔ ɖe nubabla sia nu o la dzi.
22 And the generation to come, your sons who shall rise up after you, and the foreigner who shall come from a far land, shall say, when they see the calamities of that land, and the sicknesses with which Jehovah has made it sick.
Ekema mia viwo kple miaƒe dzidzimevi siwo ava dzɔ kple amedzro siwo atso didiƒewo la akpɔ ale si Yehowa ana anyigba la maganyo nukuwo o kple dɔléle siwo wòaɖo ɖe anyigba la dzi.
23 The whole land of it is brimstone, and salt, a burning. It is not sown, nor bears, nor any grass grows in it, like the overthrow of Sodom and Gomorrah, Admah and Zeboiim, which Jehovah overthrew in his anger, and in his wrath,
Woakpɔe be anyigba blibo la trɔ zu aŋɔ kple dze kple anyigba fiafia si dzi nuku mele o, eye ati aɖeke memie ɖe edzi hã o, abe Sodom kple Gomora kple Adma kple Zeboyim, du siwo Yehowa tsrɔ̃ le eƒe dɔmedzoe me ene.
24 even all the nations shall say, Why has Jehovah done thus to this land? What is the meaning of the heat of this great anger?
Amewo abia be, “Nu ka ta Yehowa wɔ anyigba sia alea ɖo? Nu ka ta wòdo dɔmedzoe nenema gbegbe ɖo?”
25 Then men shall say, Because they forsook the covenant of Jehovah, the God of their fathers, which he made with them when he brought them forth out of the land of Egypt,
Woagblɔ na wo be, “Elabena anyigba la dzi tɔwo gbe nubabla si Yehowa, woƒe tɔgbuiwo ƒe Mawu la wɔ kpli wo esi wòkplɔ wo dzoe le Egipte la dzi wɔwɔ,
26 and went and served other gods, and worshiped them, gods that they knew not, and that he had not given to them.
elabena wosubɔ mawu bubuwo, eye nuwɔna sia tsi tsitre ɖe Mawu ƒe se la ŋu.
27 Therefore the anger of Jehovah was kindled against this land, to bring upon it all the curse that is written in this book.
Eya ta Yehowa ƒe dɔmedzoe bi ɖe anyigba sia ŋu sesĩe nenema, ale eƒe fiƒode siwo katã woŋlɔ ɖe agbalẽ sia me la ɖi wo ŋu.
28 And Jehovah rooted them out of their land in anger, and in wrath, and in great indignation, and cast them into another land, as at this day.
Yehowa ɖe wo ɖa kple dɔmedzoe tso woƒe anyigba dzi, eye wòtsɔ wo ƒu gbe ɖe anyigba bubu dzi, afi si wole va se ɖe egbe.”
29 The secret things belong to Jehovah our God, but the things that are revealed belong to us and to our sons forever, that we may do all the words of this law.
Nu ɣaɣlawo nye Yehowa, mía Mawu tɔ; ke nu siwo wòɖe fia mí la nye míawo kple mía viwo tɔ tegbee, ale be míawɔ se sia me nyawo katã dzi.
