Leviticus 26

1 Ye shall make you none idoles nor grauen image, neither reare you vp any pillar, neither shall ye set any image of stone in your land to bow downe to it: for I am the Lord your God.

“‘Legba aɖeke meganɔ mia si o. Migasubɔ aklamakpakpɛwo, aƒeliwo alo kpe kpakpɛwo gbeɖegbeɖe o, elabena nyee nye Yehowa, miaƒe Mawu.

2 Ye shall keepe my Sabbaths, and reuerence my Sanctuarie: I am the Lord.

“‘Miwɔ nye Dzudzɔgbe ƒe sewo dzi, eye miade bubu nye Agbadɔ ŋu, elabena nyee nye Yehowa.

3 If ye walke in mine ordinances, and keepe my commandements, and doe them,

“‘Ne miewɔ nye seawo katã dzi la,

4 I will then sende you raine in due season, and the land shall yelde her increase, and the trees of the fielde shall giue her fruite.

mana tsi nadza na mi le tsidzaɣi, anyigba ana eƒe nuɖuɖu, eye gbemetiwo atse woƒe kutsetsewo.

5 And your threshing shall reache vnto the vintage, and the vintage shall reache vnto sowing time, and you shall eate your bread in plenteousnesse, and dwell in your land safely.

Miaƒe luƒoƒo ayi edzi va se ɖe wainxaɣi, wainxaɣi ayi edzi va se ɖe nuƒãɣi, miaɖu nu siwo katã ahiã mi, eye mianɔ miaƒe anyigba dzi le dedinɔnɔ me,

6 And I will sende peace in the land, and ye shall sleepe and none shall make you afraid: also I will rid euill beastes out of the lande, and the sworde shall not go through your lande.

elabena mana ŋutifafa mi. Miamlɔ anyi, adɔ alɔ̃ le dziɖeɖi me. Manya lã wɔadãwo ɖa le mia ŋgɔ.

7 Also ye shall chase your enemies, and they shall fall before you vpon the sworde.

Mianya miaƒe futɔwo ɖe du nu; woaku ɖe miaƒe yi nu.

8 And fiue of you shall chase an hundreth, and an hundreth of you shall put ten thousande to flight, and your enemies shall fall before you vpon the sworde.

Mia dometɔ atɔ̃ anya ame alafa ɖeka ɖe du nu, eye mia dometɔ alafa ɖeka anya ame akpe ewo! Miaɖu miaƒe futɔwo katã dzi.

9 For I will haue respect vnto you, and make you encrease, and multiplie you, and establish my couenant with you.

Makpɔ mia dzi, mana miadzi asɔ gbɔ, eye mawɔ nu si mebla kpli mi la dzi.

10 Ye shall eate also olde store, and cary out olde because of the newe.

Miaƒe nukuwo asɔ gbɔ na mi wu ale si miehiã ale gbegbe be miaganya nu si miawɔ kple esi atsi anyi o, eye mianya ɣeyiɣi si nuŋeɣi agaɖo o!

11 And I will set my Tabernacle among you, and my soule shall not lothe you.

Manɔ mia dome; mianye ŋunyɔnu nam o.

12 Also I will walke among you, and I wil be your God, and ye shalbe my people.

Mazɔ le mia dome, manye miaƒe Mawu, eye miawo mianye nye amewo,

13 I am the Lord your God which haue brought you out of the lande of Egypt, that yee should not be their bondmen, and I haue broken ye bonds of your yoke, and made you goe vpright.

elabena nyee nye Yehowa, miaƒe Mawu, ame si kplɔ mi tso Egiptenyigba dzi, ale be miaganye kluviwo azɔ o. Meɖe kɔkuti le kɔ dzi na mi, ale be miazɔ abe ablɔɖemewo kple bubumewo ene.’”

14 But if ye will not obey me, nor do all these commandements,

“Ke ne miaɖo tom alo awɔ nye seawo dzi o,

15 And if ye shall despise mine ordinances, either if your soule abhorre my lawes, so that yee will not do all my commandements, but breake my couenant,

ke boŋ miagbe nye ɖoɖowo la,

16 Then wil I also do this vnto you, I wil appoint ouer you fearefulnes, a consumption, and the burning ague to consume the eyes, and make the heart heauie, and you shall sowe your seede in vaine: for your enemies shall eate it:

ekema nu si mawɔ mie nye: mado ŋɔdzi na mi kple asrã sesẽtɔ. Dɔléle aɖe fu na miaƒe ŋkuwo, eye gbɔdzɔgbɔdzɔ age ɖe miaƒe agbenɔnɔ me. Dzodzroe miaƒã miaƒe nukuwo, elabena miaƒe futɔwoe aɖu wo.

17 And I will set my face against you, and ye shall fal before your enemies, and they that hate you, shall raigne ouer you, and yee shall flee when none pursueth you.

“Maɖe ŋku atɔ mi; miasi le miaƒe futɔwo nu. Ame siwo lé fu mi la aɖu mia dzi. Gawu la, miade asi sisi me, togbɔ be ame aɖeke manɔ mia nyam o hã!

18 And if ye wil not for these things obey me, then wil I punish you seuen times more, according to your sinnes,

“Ne miegagbe toɖoɖom kokoko la, mahe to na mi vevie zi adre ɖe miaƒe nu vɔ̃wo ta.

19 And I wil breake the pride of your power, and I will make your heauen as yron, and your earth as brasse:

Maɖe miaƒe ŋusẽ si dzi miedana ɖo la dzi, mana dziƒo nanɔ na mi abe gayibɔ ene, eye anyigba nanɔ na mi abe akɔbli ene.

20 And your strength shalbe spent in vaine: neither shall your lande giue her increase, neither shall the trees of the land giue their fruite.

Miadagba dzodzro, elabena miaƒe anyigba mana miaƒe nukuwo naʋã o, eye miaƒe kutsetsetiwo matse ku o.

21 And if ye walke stubburnly against me, and will not obey mee, I will then bring seuen times more plagues vpon you, according to your sinnes.

“Ne miagaɖo tom ɣe ma ɣi hã o la, mana dɔvɔ̃ bubu adre nava mia dzi ɖe miaƒe nu vɔ̃wo ta.

22 I will also sende wilde beastes vpon you, which shall spoyle you, and destroy your cattell, and make you fewe in number: so your hye waies shalbe desolate.

Maɖo lã wɔadãwo ɖa be woawu mia viwo, avuvu miaƒe aƒemelãwo, aɖe miaƒe xexlẽme dzi akpɔtɔ, ale be amewo avɔ le miaƒe mɔwo dzi.

23 Yet if by these ye will not be reformed by me, but walke stubburnly against me,

“Eye ne nu siawo gɔ̃ hã mana miatrɔ dzi me o, ke boŋ miagayi tsitretsitsi ɖe nye didiwo ŋu dzi la,

24 Then wil I also walke stubburnly against you, and I will smite you yet seuen times for your sinnes:

ekema nye hã matsi tsitre ɖe miaƒe didiwo ŋu, eye nye ŋutɔ gɔ̃ hã mafia fu mi zi adre ɖe miaƒe nu vɔ̃wo ta.

25 And I wil send a sword vpon you, that shall auenge the quarel of my couenant: and when ye are gathered in your cities, I wil send the pestilence among you, and ye shall be deliuered into the hand of the enemie.

Mabia hlɔ̃ mi le ale si miegbe nye nubabla dzi wɔwɔ ta, to aʋawɔwɔ hehe va mia dzi me. Miasi ayi miaƒe duwo me, eye maɖo dɔvɔ̃ ɖe mia dome le afi ma. Miaƒe futɔwo aɖu mia dzi.

26 When I shall breake the staffe of your bread, then ten women shall bake your breade in one ouen, and they shall deliuer your bread againe by weight, and ye shall eate, but not be satisfied.

Magblẽ miaƒe nuɖuɖu ƒe dzɔtsoƒe me, ale be abolokpo ɖeka pɛ ame abolo na ƒome ewo. Ne mieɖu nu sue si aka mia si vɔ la, dɔ agawu mi kokoko.

27 Yet if ye will not for this obey mee, but walke against me stubburnly,

“Ne miagagbe toɖoɖom kple nye sewo dzi wɔwɔ kokoko la,

28 Then will I walke stubburnly in mine anger against you, and I will also chastice you seuen times more according to your sinnes.

ekema mana nye dɔmedzoe sesẽ la nabi ɖe mia ŋu, eye mana tohehe si dzi ŋɔ zi adre wu tsãtɔwo la nava mia dzi le miaƒe nu vɔ̃wo ta.

29 And ye shall eate ye flesh of your sonnes, and the flesh of your daughters shall ye deuoure.

Miaɖu miawo ŋutɔ mia viŋutsuwo kple mia vinyɔnuwo,

30 I will also destroy your hye places, and cut away your images, and cast your carkeises vpon the bodies of your idoles, and my soule shall abhorre you.

makaka vɔsamlekpui siwo le towo dzi, afi si miedea ta agu na legbawo le. Magbã miaƒe dzudzɔdovɔsamlekpuiwo, miaƒe ame kukuwo aƒaƒã ɖe miaƒe legbawo dome, eye mianyɔ ŋu nam.

31 And I will make your cities desolate, and bring your Sanctuarie vnto nought, and will not smelll the sauour of your sweete odours.

Mana miaƒe du gãwo nazu aƒedowo, magblẽ miaƒe mawusubɔƒewo, eye miaƒe dzudzɔdovɔsamlekpuiwo magadze ŋunye o.

32 I will also bring the land vnto a wildernes, and your enemies, which dwell therein, shalbe astonished thereat.

Ɛ̃, mana miaƒe anyigba nazu gbegbe, miaƒe futɔwo axɔ miaƒe anyigba, eye woƒe nu aku le nu si mewɔ mi la ta.

33 Also I wil scatter you among the heathen, and will drawe out a sworde after you, and your land shalbe waste, and your cities shalbe desolate.

“Makaka mi ɖe dukɔwo dome, eye ne mieyina la, mana aʋa nasi mi. Miaƒe anyigba azu gbegbe, eye miaƒe du gãwo agbã.

34 Then shall the land inioy her Sabbaths, as long as it lieth voide, and yee shalbe in your enemies land: then shall the land rest, and enioy her Sabbaths.

Ekema anyigba la akpɔ gbɔdzɔe le ɣeyiɣi siwo katã wònye gbegbe la me, esime miele miaƒe futɔwo ƒe anyigba dzi, ekema anyigba la adzudzɔ, eye wòakpɔ eƒe gbɔdzɔe.

35 All the dayes that it lieth voide, it shall rest, because it did not rest in your Sabbaths, when ye dwelt vpon it.

Le ɣeyiɣi siwo katã me wònye gbegbe la, anyigba la akpɔ dzudzɔ si mekpɔ le dzudzɔgbe siwo mienɔ edzi la kpɔ o.

36 And vpon them that are left of you, I will send euen a faintnes into their hearts in ye land of their enemies, and the sounde of a leafeshaken shall chase them, and they shall flee as fleeing from a sword, and they shall fall, no man pursuing them.

“Mana woaɖe aboyo ame siwo aganɔ agbe la ayi didiƒenyigbawo dzi abe aʋaléleawo kple kluviwo ene. Woanɔ afi ma kple dzodzo nyanyanya ɣe sia ɣi. Ne ya ƒo aŋugba la, eƒe gbeɖiɖi ana woasi abe ame aɖee le wo nyam kple yi ene. Woadze anyi le esime ame aɖeke mele wo nyam o.

37 They shall fall also one vpon another, as before a sword, though none pursue them, and ye shall not be able to stand before your enemies:

Ɛ̃, togbɔ be ame aɖeke mele wo nyam o hã la, woasi, anɔ wo nɔewo dzi dzem abe ame siwo le sisim le aʋagbedzi, eye womate ŋu anɔ te ɖe futɔwo nu o ene.

38 And ye shall perish among the heathen, and the land of your enemies shall eate you vp.

Miatsrɔ̃ le dukɔwo dome, eye miaƒe futɔwo awu mi.

39 And they that are left of you, shall pine away for their iniquitie, in your enemies landes, and for the iniquities of their fathers shall they pine away with them also.

Ame siwo atsi agbe la atsi asi le futɔwo ƒe anyigba dzi le woƒe nu vɔ̃wo kple nu vɔ̃ siwo wo fofowo wɔ la ta.

40 Then they shall confesse their iniquitie, and the wickednes of their fathers for their trespasse, which they haue trespassed against mee, and also because they haue walked stubburnly against me.

“Ke ne woaʋu woawo ŋutɔ ƒe nu vɔ̃wo kple wo fofowo ƒe nu vɔ̃wo me, woƒe tsitretsitsi ɖe ŋunye kple woƒe fulélem si

41 Therefore I wil walke stubburnly against them, and bring them into the land of their enemies: so then their vncircumcised hearts shalbe humbled, and then they shalt willingly beare the punishment of their iniquitie.

na meɖo wo ɖe woƒe futɔwo ƒe anyigba dzi me la, ekema ne woƒe dzi kuatriwo bɔbɔ wo ɖokui, eye woxe fe ɖe woƒe nu vɔ̃ ta la,

42 Then I will remember my couenant with Iaakob, and my couenant also with Izhak, and also my couenant with Abraham will I remember, and will remember the land.

magaɖo ŋku ŋugbe siwo medo na Abraham, Isak kple Yakob la dzi. Maɖo ŋku anyigba la kple ale si amewo gblẽe ɖi la dzi,

43 The land also in the meane season shalbe left of them, and shall enioye her Sabbaths while she lieth waste without them, but they shall willingly suffer the punishment of their iniquitie, because they despised my lawes, and because their soule abhorred mine ordinances.

elabena ele be anyigba la nagbɔ ɖe eme le esime amewo dzo le edzi. Ekema, mlɔeba la, woaxɔ woƒe tohehe le nye seawo dzi mawɔmawɔ kple woƒe vlododo nye dziɖuɖu ta.

44 Yet notwithstanding this, when they shalbe in the lande of their enemies, I wil not cast them away, neither will I abhorre them, to destroy them vtterly, nor to breake my couenant with them: for I am the Lord their God:

Ke togbɔ be wowɔ nu siawo katã hã la, nyematsrɔ̃ wo kple nubabla si mewɔ kpli wo la ɖikaa o, elabena nyee nye Yehowa, woƒe Mawu.

45 But I will remember for them the couenant of olde when I brought them out of ye land of Egypt in the sight of the heathen that I might be their God: I am the Lord.

Le woawo ta la, maɖo ŋku nye ŋugbedodowo na wo tɔgbuiwo dzi be manye woƒe Mawu, elabena nyee kplɔ wo tɔgbuiwo tso Egipte le esime dukɔwo katã ƒe nu ku esi wonɔ nu siwo nɔ dzɔdzɔm la kpɔm. Nyee nye Yehowa!”

46 These are the ordinances, and the iudgements, and the lawes, which the Lord made betweene him, and the children of Israel in mount Sinai, by the hand of Moses.

Esiawoe nye se kple ɖoɖo siwo Yehowa na Israelviwo to Mose dzi le Sinai to la dzi.
