Deuteronomy 29
1 These are the words of the agreement which Moses was ordered by the Lord to make with the children of Israel in the land of Moab, in addition to the agreement 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 said in the hearing of all Israel, You have seen all the Lord did before your eyes in the land of Egypt to Pharaoh and to all his servants and 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 tests which your eyes saw, and the signs and wonders:
Miawo ŋutɔ miaƒe ŋkuwo kpɔ dɔvɔ̃wo, dzesi wɔnukuwo kple nukunu bubuawo,
4 But even to this day the Lord has not given you a mind open to knowledge, or seeing eyes or hearing ears.
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 For forty years I have been your guide through the waste land: your clothing has not become old on your backs, or your shoes on your feet.
Ekplɔ mi to gbedzi ƒe blaene sɔŋ, gake miaƒe awuwo medo xoxo o, eye miaƒe tokotawo te menyi o!
6 You have had no bread, or wine, or strong drink: so that you might see that I am the Lord 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 When you came to this place, Sihon, king of Heshbon, and Og, king of Bashan, came out to make war against us and we overcame 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 to the Reubenites and the Gadites and the half-tribe of Manasseh, for their heritage.
míexɔ woƒe anyigba, eye míetsɔe na Ruben ƒe viwo kple Gad ƒe viwo kple Manase ƒe viwo ƒe afã abe woƒe domenyinu ene,
9 So keep the words of this agreement and do them, so that it may be well for you in everything you 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 You have come here today, all of you, before the Lord your God; the heads of your tribes, the overseers, and those who are in authority over you, with 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 And your little ones, your wives, and the men of other lands who are with you in your tents, down to the wood-cutter and the servant who gets water for you:
vidzĩwo, mia srɔ̃wo, miaƒe amedzrowo, nakefɔlawo kple tsikulawo katã mietsi tsitre ɖe Yehowa, miaƒe Mawu la ŋkume egbea.
12 With the purpose of taking part in the agreement of the Lord your God, and his oath which he makes with you today:
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 And so that he may make you his people today, and be your God, as he has said to you, and as he made an oath to your fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and 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 And not with you only do I make this agreement and this oath;
Mele nubabla sia wɔm kpli mi, ame siwo le tsitre ɖe afi sia egbe la ɖeɖe ko o,
15 But with everyone who is here with us today before the Lord our God, as well as with those who are not here:
ke boŋ ele ewɔm kple Israel ƒe dzidzimevi siwo ava dzɔ hã.
16 (For you have in mind how we were living in the land of Egypt; and how we came through all the nations which were on your way;
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 you have seen their disgusting doings, and the images of wood and stone and silver and gold which were among them: )
Miekpɔ woƒe mawu ɖigbɔ̃ siwo wowɔ kple ati, kpe, klosalo kple sika.
18 So that there may not be among you any man or woman or family or tribe whose heart is turned away from the Lord our God today, to go after other gods and give them worship; or any root among you whose fruit is poison and bitter sorrow;
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 If such a man, hearing the words of this oath, takes comfort in the thought that he will have peace even if he goes on in the pride of his heart, taking whatever chance may give him:
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 The Lord will have no mercy on him, but the wrath of the Lord will be burning against that man, and all the curses recorded in this book will be waiting for him, and the Lord will take away his name completely from the earth.
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 He will be marked out by the Lord, from all the tribes of Israel, for an evil fate, in keeping with all the curses of the agreement recorded 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 future generations, your children coming after you, and travellers from far countries, will say, when they see the punishments of that land and the diseases which the Lord has sent on it;
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 And that all the land is a salt and smoking waste, not planted or giving fruit or clothed with grass, but wasted like Sodom and Gomorrah, Admah and Zeboiim, on which the Lord sent destruction in the heat of 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 Truly all the nations will say, Why has the Lord done so to this land? what is the reason for this great and burning wrath?
Amewo abia be, “Nu ka ta Yehowa wɔ anyigba sia alea ɖo? Nu ka ta wòdo dɔmedzoe nenema gbegbe ɖo?”
25 Then men will say, Because they gave up the agreement of the Lord, the God of their fathers, which he made with them when he took them 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 they went after other gods and gave them worship, gods who were strange to them, and whom he had not given them:
elabena wosubɔ mawu bubuwo, eye nuwɔna sia tsi tsitre ɖe Mawu ƒe se la ŋu.
27 And so the wrath of the Lord was moved against this land, to send on it all the curse recorded 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 Rooting them out of their land, in the heat of his wrath and passion, and driving them out 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 are the Lord our God's: but the things which have been made clear are ours and our children's for ever, so 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.
