Deuteronomy 11
1 You shall therefore love the LORD your God and always keep His charge, His statutes, His ordinances, and His commandments.
“Ele be nàlɔ̃ Yehowa, wò Mawu la, eye nàwɔ eƒe sewo katã dzi.
2 Know this day that it is not your children who have known and seen the discipline of the LORD your God: His greatness, His mighty hand, and His outstretched arm;
Miɖo to! Nyemele nu ƒom fifia na mia viwo, ame siwo mekpɔ eƒe tohehe na Egiptetɔwo alo eƒe gãnyenye kple ŋusẽ teƒe kpɔ o.
3 the signs and works He did in Egypt to Pharaoh king of Egypt and all his land;
Womenɔ afi ma kpɔ nukunu siwo wòwɔ le Egipte ɖe Farao kple eƒe anyigba blibo la ŋu o.
4 what He did to the Egyptian army and horses and chariots when He made the waters of the Red Sea engulf them as they pursued you, and how He destroyed them completely, even to this day;
Womekpɔ nu si Mawu wɔ Egiptetɔwo ƒe aʋakɔwo, woƒe sɔwo kple tasiaɖamwo, ale si wònyrɔ wo ɖe Ƒu Dzĩ la me esi wodze mia yome kple ale si Yehowa na woƒe ŋusẽ ɖe mia ŋu nu ku va se ɖe egbeŋkeke sia dzi o!
5 what He did for you in the wilderness until you reached this place;
Womekpɔ ale si Yehowa kpɔ mia dzi ɣe sia ɣi le ƒe siwo katã me mienɔ tsaglalã tsam le gbedzi va se ɖe esime mieɖo afi sia o.
6 and what He did in the midst of all the Israelites to Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab the Reubenite, when the earth opened its mouth and swallowed them, their households, their tents, and every living thing that belonged to them.
Womenɔ afi ma esime Datan kple Abiram, Eliab ƒe viŋutsuwo kple Ruben ƒe dzidzimeviwo wɔ nu vɔ̃, eye anyigba ke nu mi wo, woƒe aƒemetɔwo, agbadɔwo kple woƒe nuwo katã le Israelviwo katã ŋkume o!
7 For it is your own eyes that have seen every great work that the LORD has done.
“Ke miawo la, miekpɔ Yehowa ƒe nukunu gã siawo teƒe,
8 You shall therefore keep every commandment I am giving you today, so that you may have the strength to go in and possess the land that you are crossing the Jordan to possess,
eya ta wòle be miawɔ se siwo mele mia nam egbe la dzi pɛpɛpɛ ale be miate ŋu akpɔ ŋusẽ be miayi anyigba si dzi miele gege ge ɖo fifia, eye miaxɔe.
9 and so that you may live long in the land that the LORD swore to your fathers to give them and their descendants, a land flowing with milk and honey.
Ne miewɔ seawo dzi la, mianɔ agbe didi, eye wòadze edzi na mi le anyigba si ŋugbe Yehowa do na mia fofowo kple miawo kple miaƒe dzidzimeviwo la dzi. Anyigba la nye anyigba wɔnuku aɖe si dzi ‘notsi kple anyitsi bɔ ɖo!’
10 For the land that you are entering to possess is not like the land of Egypt, from which you have come, where you sowed your seed and irrigated on foot, like a vegetable garden.
Anyigba si dzi miage ɖo, eye miaxɔ la, mele abe Egiptenyigba, afi si mietso, afi si wòhiã le be miadze tɔʋu suewo ɖe miaƒe agblewo me, ana tsi nato wo me hena miaƒe agblemenukuwo ƒe wɔwɔ ene o.
11 But the land that you are crossing the Jordan to possess is a land of mountains and valleys that drinks in the rain from heaven.
Anyigba nyui aɖe si dzi towo kple balimewo le, eye tsi dzana le nyuie la wònye,
12 It is a land for which the LORD your God cares; the eyes of the LORD your God are always on it, from the beginning to the end of the year.
anyigba si Yehowa, miaƒe Mawu la ŋutɔ léa be na, eye eƒe ŋku le anyigba la ŋu ɣe sia ɣi tso ŋkeke yi ŋkeke le ƒe blibo la me!
13 So if you carefully obey the commandments I am giving you today, to love the LORD your God and to serve Him with all your heart and with all your soul,
“Ne miawɔ ɖe Yehowa ƒe se siwo katã mele mia na ge egbe la dzi pɛpɛpɛ, eye ne mialɔ̃ Yehowa, miaƒe Mawu la kple miaƒe dzi blibo kple miaƒe luʋɔ blibo, eye miasubɔe la,
14 then I will provide rain for your land in season, the autumn and spring rains, that you may gather your grain, new wine, and oil.
ekema agana adametsi kple kelemetsi nadza na mi ale be miate ŋu akpɔ bli fũu kple waintsetse geɖewo kple ami sɔ gbɔ.
15 And I will provide grass in the fields for your livestock, and you will eat and be satisfied.
Ana lãnyiƒe damawo mi hena miaƒe lãwo, eye miawo ŋutɔ miakpɔ nu aɖu, aɖi ƒo nyuie.
16 But be careful that you are not enticed to turn aside to worship and bow down to other gods,
“Ke mikpɔ nyuie be miaƒe dzi nagatrɔ le Yehowa yome be miasubɔ mawu bubuwo o.
17 or the anger of the LORD will be kindled against you. He will shut the heavens so that there will be no rain, nor will the land yield its produce, and you will soon perish from the good land that the LORD is giving you.
Ne miesubɔ mawu bubuwo la, Yehowa ƒe dɔmedzoe abi ɖe mia ŋu, eye wòatu dziƒo nu ale be tsi magadza o, eye agblemenukuwo mawɔ o. Ekema miatsrɔ̃ enumake le anyigba nyui si Yehowa na mi la dzi,
18 Fix these words of mine in your hearts and minds; tie them as reminders on your hands and bind them on your foreheads.
eya ta milé se siawo ɖe ta me. Mibla wo ɖe miaƒe asiwo ŋu ale be woanɔ ŋku dzi na mi, eye miawɔ wo dzi. Mibla wo ɖe miaƒe ŋgonu le miaƒe ŋkuwo dome.
19 Teach them to your children, speaking about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up.
Mifia wo mia viwo; miƒo nu na wo tso wo ŋu ne miele aƒe me, ne miele tsa ɖim, le anyimlɔɣi kple do ŋgɔ na ŋdinuɖuɖu!
20 Write them on the doorposts of your houses and on your gates,
Miŋlɔ wo ɖe miaƒe ʋɔtrutiwo ŋu le miaƒe aƒewo me kple miaƒe agbowo ŋu,
21 so that as long as the heavens are above the earth, your days and those of your children may be multiplied in the land that the LORD swore to give your fathers.
ale be zi ale si dziŋgɔli anɔ anyi le mia tame ko la, mi kple mia viwo miakpɔ gome le agbe vivi si le mia lalam le anyigba si ŋugbe Yehowa do na mia fofowo la dzi.
22 For if you carefully keep all these commandments I am giving you to follow—to love the LORD your God, to walk in all His ways, and to hold fast to Him—
“Ne miewɔ ɖe se siwo katã mede na mi dzi pɛpɛpɛ, ne mielɔ̃ Yehowa, miaƒe Mawu la, ne miezɔ ɖe eƒe ɖoɖowo katã dzi, eye mielé ɖe eŋu la,
23 then the LORD will drive out all these nations before you, and you will dispossess nations greater and stronger than you.
ekema Yehowa anya dukɔwo katã ɖa le mia ŋgɔ, aleke gbegbe woasɔ gbɔ wu mi, eye woasẽ wu mi hã!
24 Every place where the sole of your foot treads will be yours. Your territory will extend from the wilderness to Lebanon, and from the Euphrates River to the Western Sea.
Afi sia afi si miaɖo afɔe la, anyigba la anye mia tɔ. Miaƒe liƒowo akeke tso Negeb ƒe anyigbeme ayi Lebanon, agatso Frat tɔsisi la ŋu, ayi Domeƒu la ŋu.
25 No man will be able to stand against you; the LORD your God will put the fear and dread of you upon all the land, wherever you set foot, as He has promised you.
Ame aɖeke mate ŋu anɔ te ɖe mia nu o, elabena Yehowa, miaƒe Mawu la ade vɔvɔ̃ ameawo me ɖe mia ŋu do ŋgɔ na mi, afi sia afi si miayi abe ale si wòdo ŋugbe na mi ene tututu.
26 See, today I am setting before you a blessing and a curse—
“Kpɔ ɖa, metsɔ yayra kple fiƒode le mia ŋkume ɖom egbea be miatia.
27 a blessing if you obey the commandments of the LORD your God that I am giving you today,
Miaxɔ yayra ne miewɔ Yehowa, miaƒe Mawu la ƒe se siwo metsɔ le mia nam egbe la dzi,
28 but a curse if you disobey the commandments of the LORD your God and turn aside from the path I command you today by following other gods, which you have not known.
ke fiƒode ava mia dzi ne miegbe seawo dzi wɔwɔ, eye miesubɔ dukɔ bubu siawo ƒe mawuwo.
29 When the LORD your God brings you into the land you are entering to possess, you are to proclaim the blessing on Mount Gerizim and the curse on Mount Ebal.
Ne Yehowa, miaƒe Mawu la kplɔ mi yi anyigba la dzi be miaxɔe la, ekema woaɖe gbeƒã yayra le Gerizim to dzi, eye woaɖe gbeƒã fiƒode le Ebal to dzi!
30 Are not these mountains across the Jordan, west of the road toward the sunset, in the land of the Canaanites who live in the Arabah opposite Gilgal near the Oak of Moreh?
Gerizim kple Ebal wonye towo le Yɔdan tɔsisi la ƒe ɣetoɖoƒe lɔƒo, afi si Kanaantɔwo le, le gbegbe si te ɖe Gilgal ŋu, afi si More ƒe ati gãwo le.
31 For you are about to cross the Jordan to enter and possess the land that the LORD your God is giving you. When you take possession of it and settle in it,
Mitso Yɔdan tɔsisi la, eye mianɔ anyigba si Yehowa, miaƒe Mawu le mia nam la dzi.
32 be careful to follow all the statutes and ordinances that I am setting before you today.
Ke ele na mi be miawɔ ɖe se siwo katã mele mia nam egbea la dzi.”
