Exodus 31
1 Then the LORD said to Moses,
Yehowa gblɔ na Mose be,
2 “See, I have called by name Bezalel son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah.
“Kpɔ ɖa, metia Bezalel, Uri ƒe viŋutsu kple Hur ƒe tɔgbuiyɔvi tso Yuda ƒe to la me.
3 And I have filled him with the Spirit of God, with skill, ability, and knowledge in all kinds of craftsmanship,
Mena Mawu ƒe Gbɔgbɔ yɔ eme, eye wòna nunya deto kple ŋutete kple aɖaŋu tɔxɛe hena agbadɔ la tutu kple nu sia nu si le eme la wɔwɔ.
4 to design artistic works in gold, silver, and bronze,
Ŋutete blibo le eŋu hena nuwo wɔwɔ kple sika, klosalo kple akɔbli.
5 to cut gemstones for settings, and to carve wood, so that he may be a master of every craft.
Enya ale si woatsɔ kpe xɔasiwo awɔ nuwo, eye woatsɔ atiwo akpa nuwoe.
6 Moreover, I have selected Oholiab son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan, as his assistant. I have also given skill to all the craftsmen, that they may fashion all that I have commanded you:
Metia Oholiab, Ahisamak ƒe vi tso Dan ƒe to la me be wòanye eƒe kpeɖeŋutɔ. “Gawu la, megatsɔ aɖaŋu tɔxɛwo na ame siwo katã mienya be wonye aɖaŋutɔwo ale be woate ŋu awɔ nu siwo mebe nàwɔ la katã:
7 the Tent of Meeting, the ark of the Testimony and the mercy seat upon it, and all the other furnishings of the tent—
“agbadɔ la, Nubablaɖaka la kple eƒe nutuvi, kple nu siwo katã le agbadɔ la me,
8 the table with its utensils, the pure gold lampstand with all its utensils, the altar of incense,
vɔsamlekpui la kple eŋunuwo, sikakaɖiti la kple eŋunuwo, dzudzɔdovɔsamlekpui la,
9 the altar of burnt offering with all its utensils, and the basin with its stand—
numevɔsamlekpui la kple eŋunuwo, tsileganu la kple eƒe zɔ,
10 as well as the woven garments, both the holy garments for Aaron the priest and the garments for his sons to serve as priests,
Nunɔla Aron ƒe awu nyui kɔkɔewo kple Aron ƒe viŋutsuwo ƒe awuwo, ale be woate ŋu awɔ dɔ nam abe nunɔlawo ene,
11 in addition to the anointing oil and fragrant incense for the Holy Place. They are to make them according to all that I have commanded you.”
Teƒe Kɔkɔe la ƒe amisisi la kple dzudzɔdonu ʋeʋĩwo. “Ele be woawɔ nu siawo katã ɖe ale si meɖo na wò la nu.”
12 And the LORD said to Moses,
Yehowa yi edzi gblɔ na Mose be,
13 “Tell the Israelites, ‘Surely you must keep My Sabbaths, for this will be a sign between Me and you for the generations to come, so that you may know that I am the LORD who sanctifies you.
“Gblɔ na Israelviwo be, ‘Ele be miaɖo ŋku nye Dzudzɔgbe la dzi, elabena Dzudzɔgbe la nye ŋkuɖoɖo nubabla si le nye kple miawo dome la dzi tegbetegbe. Esia awɔe be miaɖo ŋku edzi be nyee nye Yehowa, ame si wɔ mi kɔkɔe.’
14 Keep the Sabbath, for it is holy to you. Anyone who profanes it must surely be put to death. Whoever does any work on that day must be cut off from among his people.
“Ele be miadzudzɔ le Dzudzɔgbe la dzi, elabena enye ŋkeke kɔkɔe na mi. Ele be woawu ame sia ame si ada le se sia dzi la, eye woaɖe ame sia ame si awɔ dɔ le ŋkeke sia dzi la ƒe agbe ɖa le etɔwo dome.
15 For six days work may be done, but the seventh day is a Sabbath of complete rest, holy to the LORD. Whoever does any work on the Sabbath day must surely be put to death.
Ŋkeke ade woawɔ dɔ, ke ŋkeke adrelia nye Dzudzɔgbe; ŋkeke kɔkɔe wònye na Yehowa. Ame sia ame si awɔ dɔ le ŋkeke sia dzi la, ele be woawui.
16 The Israelites must keep the Sabbath, celebrating it as a permanent covenant for the generations to come.
Miwɔ dɔ ŋkeke ade ko, elabena ŋkeke adrelia nye ŋkeke tɔxɛ hena dzudzɔ, eye wòle kɔkɔe na nye Yehowa. Se sia nye nubabla mavɔ, eye wòle be Israelviwo nawɔ edzi.
17 It is a sign between Me and the Israelites forever; for in six days the LORD made the heavens and the earth, but on the seventh day He rested and was refreshed.’”
Enye nubabla si le nye kple Israelviwo dome la ƒe dzesi mavɔ, elabena ŋkeke adee nye, Yehowa metsɔ wɔ dziƒo kple anyigba, eye medzudzɔ le ŋkeke adrea gbe.”
18 When the LORD had finished speaking with Moses on Mount Sinai, He gave him the two tablets of the Testimony, tablets of stone inscribed by the finger of God.
Esi Yehowa wu eƒe nuƒoƒo kple Mose nu le Sinai to la dzi la, etsɔ kpe eve siwo dzi eya ŋutɔ tsɔ eƒe asibidɛ ŋlɔ Se Ewoawo ɖo la na Mose.
