Exodus 34
1 And Jehovah said to Moses, Hew for thyself two tables of stone like the first; and I will write upon the tables the words that were upon the first tables, which thou hast broken.
Yehowa gblɔ na Mose be, “Kpa kpe gbadzɛ eve abe gbãtɔwo ene, eye maŋlɔ Se siwo nɔ kpe siwo nègba la dzi la ɖe wo dzi.
2 And be ready for the morning, and go up in the morning to mount Sinai, and stand there before me on the top of the mountain.
Dzra ɖo etsɔ ŋdi nàva kpɔm le Sinai to la dzi.
3 And let no man go up with thee, neither shall any man be seen on all the mountain; neither shall sheep and oxen feed in front of that mountain.
Mègana ame aɖeke nava kpli wò o, eye ame aɖeke manɔ teƒe aɖeke le to sia dzi hã o. Mègana miaƒe alẽwo kple nyiwo naɖu gbe le teƒe si te ɖe to la ŋu o.”
4 And he hewed two tables of stone like the first; and Moses rose up early in the morning and went up to mount Sinai, as Jehovah had commanded him, and took in his hand the two tables of stone.
Ale Mose tsɔ kpe kpakpɛ eveawo abe gbãtɔwo ene, eye wòlia Sinai to la ŋdi kanya, abe ale si Yehowa ɖo nɛ be wòawɔ ene.
5 And Jehovah came down in the cloud, and stood beside him there, and proclaimed the name of Jehovah.
Yehowa ɖi ɖe to la dzi le lilikpo dodo aɖe me, eye wòtsi tsitre ɖe egbɔ le afi ma ɖe gbeƒã eƒe ŋkɔ Yehowa nɛ.
6 And Jehovah passed by before his face, and proclaimed, Jehovah, Jehovah God merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abundant in goodness and truth,
Yehowa to Mose ŋkume, eye wòɖe gbeƒã eƒe ŋkɔ be, “Yehowa, Yehowa, Mawu nublanuikpɔla kple amenuvela, ame si gbɔa dzi ɖi blewu, eye eƒe lɔlɔ̃ kple nuteƒewɔwɔ nu metsina o;
7 keeping mercy unto thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, but by no means clearing [the guilty]; visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, and upon the children's children, upon the third and upon the fourth [generation].
ame si ɖea lɔlɔ̃ fiaa ame akpe nanewo, eye wòtsɔa ame vɔ̃ɖiwo kple aglãdzelawo ƒe nu vɔ̃wo kea wo, ke megbea tohehe na vodalawo o, eye wòhea to na ɖeviwo ɖe wo fofowo ƒe vodadawo ta tso dzidzime etɔ̃lia va se ɖe enelia dzi.”
8 And Moses made haste, and bowed his head to the earth and worshipped,
Mose tsyɔ mo anyi enumake ɖe Yehowa ŋkume, eye wòsubɔe.
9 and said, If indeed I have found grace in thine eyes, Lord, let the Lord, I pray thee, go in our midst; for it is a stiff-necked people; and pardon our iniquity and our sin, and take us for an inheritance!
Egblɔ be, “Nenye nyateƒe be nève nunye la, ekema O Yehowa, meɖe kuku kplɔ mí yi Ŋugbedodonyigba la dzi. Eme kɔ ƒãa be míenye dukɔ dzeaglã kple kɔlialiatɔwo, gake meɖe kuku, tsɔ míaƒe vodadawo kple nu vɔ̃wo ke mí, eye nàgaxɔ mí abe wò ŋutɔ tɔwòwo ene.”
10 And he said, Behold, I make a covenant: before all thy people I will do marvels that have not been done in all the earth, nor in any nation; and all the people in the midst of which thou [art] shall see the work of Jehovah; for a terrible thing it shall be that I will do with thee.
Yehowa ɖo eŋu be, “Enyo. Esiae nye nubabla si mawɔ kple wò. Mawɔ nukunu siwo tɔgbi ame aɖeke mewɔ le xexea me blibo la ƒe akpa aɖeke kpɔ o. Israelviwo katã akpɔ Yehowa ƒe ŋusẽ. Woakpɔ ŋusẽ triakɔ si maɖe afia to dziwò.”
11 Observe what I command thee this day: behold, I will drive out before thee the Amorite, and the Canaanite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, and the Hivite, and the Jebusite.
Nu si nàwɔ le nubabla sia me lae nye be nàlé nye seawo katã me ɖe asi. Ekema manya Amoritɔwo, Kanaantɔwo, Hititɔwo, Perizitɔwo, Hivitɔwo kple Yebusitɔwo katã le ŋgɔwò le anyigba la dzi.
12 Take heed to thyself, that thou make no covenant with the inhabitants of the land to which thou shalt come, lest it be a snare in the midst of thee;
Kpɔ nyuie be màbla nu kple ame siwo le anyigba si dzi yim miele la gbeɖegbeɖe o, elabena ne miebla nu kpli wo la, miade asi woƒe nu vɔ̃ɖiwo wɔwɔ me kaba.
13 but ye shall demolish their altars, shatter their statues, and hew down their Asherahs.
Ke boŋ migbã woƒe vɔsamlekpuiwo kple woƒe legbawo eye miho woƒe aƒeliwo ƒu anyi,
14 For thou shalt worship no other God; for Jehovah — Jealous is his name — is a jealous God;
elabena mele be miasubɔ mawu bubu aɖeke o, ke boŋ Yehowa ko, elabena Yehowa nye Mawu si dina be woasubɔ ye ɖeka ko.
15 lest thou make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land, and then, when they go a whoring after their gods, and sacrifice unto their gods, thou be invited, and eat of their sacrifice,
“Miɖɔ ŋu ɖo be miagawɔ nubabla aɖeke tɔgbi kple ame siwo le anyigba la dzi o. Mawu geɖewo subɔlawo wonye, eya ta ne miewɔ ɖeka kpli wo la, woakpe mi ayi woƒe legbawo subɔƒe, eye míaɖu woƒe vɔsanuwo.
16 and thou take of their daughters unto thy sons, and their daughters go a whoring after their gods, and make thy sons go a whoring after their gods.
Eye ne míeɖe wo vinyɔnuwo na mia viŋutsuwo la, wo srɔ̃wo akplɔ wo ayi woƒe legbawo subɔƒewo, eye mia viŋutsuawo hã ada vo ɖe ŋunye to wo srɔ̃wo ƒe mawuawo subɔsubɔ me.
17 — Thou shalt make thyself no molten gods.
“Mele be miawɔ legba aɖeke na mia ɖokuiwo o.
18 — The feast of the unleavened bread shalt thou keep: seven days shalt thou eat unleavened bread, as I have commanded thee, at the appointed time of the month Abib; for in the month Abib thou camest out from Egypt.
“Ɖo ŋku edzi miaɖu Abolo Maʋamaʋã Ŋkekenyui ŋkeke adre abe ale si megblɔe na wò ene le ŋkeke ɖoɖoawo dzi, le Tedoxe me ƒe sia ƒe. Ɣleti sia mee miedzo le Egipte.
19 — All that openeth the womb [is] mine; and all the cattle that is born a male, the firstling of ox and sheep.
“Nyitsu, agbo kple gbɔ̃tsu ɖe sia ɖe si ʋu dɔ nu na dadaa la nye tɔnye.
20 But the firstling of an ass thou shalt ransom with a lamb; and if thou ransom [it] not, then shalt thou break its neck. All the first-born of thy sons thou shalt ransom; and none shall appear before me empty.
Àte ŋu atsɔ alẽvi aɖɔli tedzi ƒe ŋgɔgbevi. Ne mèdi be yeaɖɔlii o la, ekema ele be nàŋe kɔe. Ke ele be miaƒle miaƒe ŋgɔgbevi ŋutsuwo katã ta. Ame aɖeke megava nye ŋkume asi gbɔlo o.
21 — Six days shalt thou work, but on the seventh day thou shalt rest; in ploughing time and in harvest thou shalt rest.
“Le nuƒãɣi kple nuŋeɣi gɔ̃ hã la, miawɔ dɔ ŋkeke ade ko, eye miadzudzɔ le ŋkeke adrea gbe.
22 — And thou shalt observe the feast of weeks, of the first-fruits of wheat-harvest, and the feast of ingathering at the turn of the year.
“Ɖo ŋku edzi miaɖu Kɔsiɖawo ƒe Ŋkekenyui, si nye lu gbãtɔwo ŋeŋe ƒe ŋkekenyuie la; emegbe la miaɖu Avaɖoɖo ƒe Ŋkekenyui le ƒea ƒe nuwuwu.
23 Thrice in the year shall all thy males appear before the Lord Jehovah, the God of Israel.
Le ŋkekenyui siawo dometɔ ɖe sia ɖe dzi la, ele be Israel ŋutsuwo kple ŋutsuviwo katã nado ɖe Aƒetɔ Yehowa, Israel ƒe Mawu ŋkume.
24 For I will dispossess the nations before thee, and enlarge thy border, and no man shall desire thy land, when thou goest up to appear before the face of Jehovah thy God thrice in the year.
Futɔ aɖeke madze miaƒe anyigba dzi, aɖu mia dzi ne mieyi toa dzi be miado ɖe Yehowa, miaƒe Mawu la ŋkume le azã etɔ̃ mawo dzi ƒe sia ƒe o, elabena manya dukɔawo ɖa le mia ŋgɔ, eye makeke miaƒe liƒowo ɖe enu.
25 — Thou shalt not offer the blood of my sacrifice with leaven; neither shall the sacrifice of the feast of the passover be left over night until the morning.
“Megakpe nye vɔsalãwo ƒe ʋu ɖe abolo si woƒo kple amɔ ʋaʋã la ŋu o. Mele be Ŋutitotoŋkekenyui ƒe vɔsalã lã ƒe akpa aɖeke natsi anyi ŋu nake ɖe edzi o.
26 — The first of the first-fruits of thy land shalt thou bring into the house of Jehovah thy God. Thou shalt not boil a kid in its mother's milk.
“Ne èxa wò agblemenukuwo la, ele be nàtsɔ wò ŋkeke gbãtɔ ƒe nuku nyuitɔwo ƒe ɖe va Yehowa, wò Mawu ƒe aƒe me. “Mègaɖa gbɔ̃vi le dadaa ƒe notsi me o.”
27 And Jehovah said to Moses, Write thee these words; for after the tenor of these words have I made a covenant with thee and with Israel.
Yehowa yi edzi gblɔ na Mose be, “Ŋlɔ se siwo mede na wò egbe la da ɖi, elabena woawoe nye ɖoɖo siwo ku ɖe nye nubabla si mewɔ kple wò kple Israel la ŋu.”
28 — And he was there with Jehovah forty days and forty nights; he ate no bread, and drank no water. — And he wrote on the tables the words of the covenant, the ten words.
Mose yi ɖanɔ toa dzi kple Yehowa ŋkeke blaene kple zã blaene. Meɖu naneke alo no naneke le ŋkeke siawo me o. Le ɣeyiɣi sia me la, Mawu ŋlɔ nubabla la me nya siwo nye Se Ewoawo la ɖe kpe kpakpɛ eveawo dzi.
29 And it came to pass, when Moses came down from mount Sinai — and the two tables of testimony were in Moses' hand, when he came down from the mountain — that Moses knew not that the skin of his face shone through his talking with him.
Esi Mose ɖi tso Sinai toa dzi gbɔna kple kpe kpakpɛawo la, menya be yeƒe mo nɔ keklẽm le yeƒe Mawu gbɔ nɔnɔ ta o.
30 And Aaron and all the children of Israel saw Moses, and behold, the skin of his face shone; and they were afraid to come near him.
Le keklẽ si nɔ mo nɛ ta la, Aron kple Israelviwo vɔ̃ be yewoate ɖe eŋu.
31 And Moses called to them; and they turned to him, — Aaron and all the principal men of the assembly; and Moses talked with them.
Ke Mose yɔ wo. Aron kple ameha la ƒe kplɔlawo te ɖe eŋu, eye woƒo nu kplii.
32 And afterwards, all the children of Israel came near; and he gave them in commandment all that Jehovah had spoken with him on mount Sinai.
Le esia megbe la, Israelviwo katã va egbɔ, eye wòtsɔ se siwo Yehowa tsɔ nɛ le Sinai toa dzi la na wo.
33 And Moses ended speaking with them; and he had put on his face a veil.
Esime Mose wu eƒe nuƒoa nu la, etsɔ motsyɔvɔ tsyɔ ŋkume.
34 And when Moses went in before Jehovah to speak with him, he took the veil off, until he came out; and he came out, and spoke to the children of Israel what he was commanded.
Ne eyina agbadɔ la me be yeaƒo nu kple Yehowa la, eɖea motsyɔvɔ la ɖa va se ɖe esime wòado go. Ekema agblɔ se siwo katã Mawu de nɛ la na Israelviwo,
35 And the children of Israel saw the face of Moses, that the skin of Moses' face shone; and Moses put the veil on his face again, until he went in to speak with him.
eye woakpɔ eƒe mo wòanɔ keklẽm. Le esia megbe la, egatsɔa motsyɔvɔ la tsyɔa mo va se ɖe esime wòagatrɔ ayi be yeaƒo nu kple Yehowa.
