Exodus 31
1 And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
Yehowa gblɔ na Mose be,
2 See, I have called by name Bezaleel the 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 have filled him with the spirit of God, in wisdom, and in understanding, and in knowledge, and in every work,
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 devise artistic work — to work in gold, and in silver, and in copper,
Ŋutete blibo le eŋu hena nuwo wɔwɔ kple sika, klosalo kple akɔbli.
5 and in cutting of stones, for setting, and for carving of timber — to work in all manner of work.
Enya ale si woatsɔ kpe xɔasiwo awɔ nuwo, eye woatsɔ atiwo akpa nuwoe.
6 And I, behold, I have given with him Aholiab the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan; and in the heart of every one that is wise-hearted have I given wisdom, that they may make all that I have commanded thee —
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 and the ark of the testimony, and the mercy-seat that is thereupon, and all the utensils of the tent,
“agbadɔ la, Nubablaɖaka la kple eƒe nutuvi, kple nu siwo katã le agbadɔ la me,
8 and the table and its utensils, and the pure lamp-stand and all its utensils, and the altar of incense;
vɔsamlekpui la kple eŋunuwo, sikakaɖiti la kple eŋunuwo, dzudzɔdovɔsamlekpui la,
9 and the altar of burnt-offering and all its utensils, and the laver and its stand;
numevɔsamlekpui la kple eŋunuwo, tsileganu la kple eƒe zɔ,
10 and the garments of service, both the holy garments of Aaron the priest, and the garments of 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 and the anointing oil, and the incense of fragrant drugs for the sanctuary: according to all that I have commanded thee shall they do.
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 Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
Yehowa yi edzi gblɔ na Mose be,
13 And thou, speak thou unto the children of Israel, saying, Surely my sabbaths shall ye keep; for this is a sign between me and you throughout your generations, that ye may know that it is I, Jehovah, who do hallow 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, therefore; for it is holy unto you; every one that profaneth it shall certainly be put to death: yea, whoever doeth work on it, that soul shall be cut off from among his peoples.
“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 Six days shall work be done; but on the seventh day is the sabbath of rest, holy to Jehovah: whoever doeth work on the sabbath day shall certainly 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 And the children of Israel shall keep the sabbath, to observe the sabbath throughout their generations — [it is] an everlasting covenant.
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 shall be a sign between me and the children of Israel for ever; for [in] six days Jehovah made the heavens and the earth, and 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 And he gave to Moses, when he had ended speaking with him on mount Sinai, the two tables of testimony, tables of stone, written with 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.
