Exodus 31
1 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
Yehowa gblɔ na Mose be,
2 Behold, I have called by name Beseleel the son of Uri the son of Hur of the tribe of Juda,
“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 wisdom and understanding, and knowledge in all manner of 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 whatsoever may be artificially made of gold, and silver, and brass,
Ŋutete blibo le eŋu hena nuwo wɔwɔ kple sika, klosalo kple akɔbli.
5 Of marble, and precious stones, and variety of wood.
Enya ale si woatsɔ kpe xɔasiwo awɔ nuwo, eye woatsɔ atiwo akpa nuwoe.
6 And I have given him for his companion Ooliab the son of Achisamech of the tribe of Dan. And I have put wisdom in the heart of every skillful man, that they may make all things which 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 tabernacle of the covenant, and the ark of the testimony, and the propitiatory that is over it, and all the vessels of the tabernacle,
“agbadɔ la, Nubablaɖaka la kple eƒe nutuvi, kple nu siwo katã le agbadɔ la me,
8 And the table and the vessels thereof, the most pure candlestick with the vessels thereof, and the altars of incense,
vɔsamlekpui la kple eŋunuwo, sikakaɖiti la kple eŋunuwo, dzudzɔdovɔsamlekpui la,
9 And of holocaust, and all their vessels, the laver with its foot,
numevɔsamlekpui la kple eŋunuwo, tsileganu la kple eƒe zɔ,
10 The holy vestments in the ministry for Aaron the priest, and for his sons, that they may execute their office about the sacred things:
Nunɔla Aron ƒe awu nyui kɔkɔewo kple Aron ƒe viŋutsuwo ƒe awuwo, ale be woate ŋu awɔ dɔ nam abe nunɔlawo ene,
11 The oil of unction, and the incense of spices in the sanctuary, all things which I have commanded thee, shall they make.
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 spoke to Moses, saying:
Yehowa yi edzi gblɔ na Mose be,
13 Speak to the children of Israel, and thou shalt say to them: See that thou keep my sabbath: because it is a sign between me and you in your generations: that you may know that I am the Lord, who sanctify 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 you my sabbath: for it is holy unto you: he that shall profane it, shall be put to death: he that shall do my work in it, his soul shall perish out of the midst of 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 Six days shall you do work: in the seventh day is the sabbath, the rest holy to the Lord. Every one that shall do any work on this day, shall die.
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 Let the children of Israel keep the sabbath, and celebrate it in 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 Between me and the children of Israel, and a perpetual sign. For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, and in the seventh he ceased from work.
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 the Lord, when he had ended these words in mount Sinai, gave to Moses two stone tables of testimony, 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.
