Deuteronomy 5
1 And Moses called all Israel, and said unto them, Hear, O Israel, the statutes and judgments which I speak in your ears this day, that ye may learn them, and keep, and do them.
Mose gaƒo nu na Israelviwo gblɔ be, Miɖo to nyuie miase se siwo katã Yehowa de na mi. Misrɔ̃ wo, eye miakpɔ egbɔ be yewowɔ wo dzi!
2 YHWH our Elohim made a covenant with us in Horeb.
Yehowa mía Mawu la bla nu kpli mi le Horeb to la gbɔ.
3 YHWH made not this covenant with our fathers, but with us, even us, who are all of us here alive this day.
Mebla nu kple mia tɔgbuiwo o, ke boŋ kple mi ame siwo le agbe, le afi sia fifia
4 YHWH talked with you face to face in the mount out of the midst of the fire,
Eƒo nu kpli mi ŋkume kple ŋkume tso dzo bibi la titina le afi ma, le to la gbɔ.
5 (I stood between YHWH and you at that time, to shew you the word of YHWH: for ye were afraid by reason of the fire, and went not up into the mount; ) saying,
Menɔ miawo kple Yehowa dome, elabena mienɔ vɔvɔ̃m, eye mieyi egbɔ le to la dzi o. Eƒo nu nam, eye metsɔ eƒe seawo na mi. Nya siwo wògblɔ la woe nye:
6 I am YHWH thy Elohim, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage.
“Nyee nye Yehowa, wò Mawu, si kplɔ wò tso kluvinyenye me le Egiptenyigba dzi.
7 Thou shalt have none other elohim before me.
“Mègasubɔ mawu bubu aɖeke kpe ɖe ŋunye o.
8 Thou shalt not make thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the waters beneath the earth:
Mègawɔ legba aɖeke na ɖokuiwò o, eɖanye nu siwo le dziƒo alo anyigba dzi afii loo, alo tɔ me la ƒe nɔnɔme o.
9 Thou shalt not bow down thyself unto them, nor serve them: for I YHWH thy Elohim am a jealous El, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me,
Mègade ta agu na wo o, eye mègasubɔ wo le mɔ aɖeke nu o, elabena nye Yehowa, wò Mawu la, Mawu ʋãŋue menye. Mehea to na ɖevi siwo léa fum la ɖe wo fofowo ƒe vodadawo teƒe va se ɖe dzidzime etɔ̃lia kple enelia dzi.
10 And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me and keep my commandments.
Ke meɖea nye lɔlɔ̃ fiaa dzidzime akpe nane siwo lɔ̃am, eye wowɔa nye seawo dzi.
11 Thou shalt not take the name of YHWH thy Elohim in vain: for YHWH will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.
Mègayɔ Yehowa, wò Mawu la ƒe ŋkɔ dzodzro o, elabena Yehowa magbe tohehe na ame si yɔ eƒe ŋkɔ dzodzro la o.
12 Keep the Sabbath day to sanctify it, as YHWH thy Elohim hath commanded thee.
Wɔ ɖe Dzudzɔgbe la dzi, eye nàwɔe kɔkɔe abe ale si Yehowa, wò Mawu la de se na wòe ene.
13 Six days thou shalt labour, and do all thy work:
Wɔ wò dɔwo katã le ŋkeke ade me,
14 But the seventh day is the Sabbath of YHWH thy Elohim: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, nor thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thine ox, nor thine ass, nor any of thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates; that thy manservant and thy maidservant may rest as well as thou.
ke ŋkeke adrelia nye Yehowa, wò Mawu la ƒe Dzudzɔgbe. Mègawɔ dɔ aɖeke le edzi o. Wò aƒemetɔ aɖeke hã mekpɔ mɔ awɔ dɔ aɖeke gbe ma gbe o, eɖanye viwò ŋutsuwo, viwò nyɔnuwo, wò dɔlaŋutsu, wò dɔlanyɔnu, wò nyiwo, wò tedziwo alo wò lãwo katã o. Ele be amedzro siwo le mia dome gɔ̃ hã nawɔ se sia dzi. Ele be ame sia ame nadzudzɔ abe ale si wò ŋutɔ nàwɔ ene.
15 And remember that thou wast a servant in the land of Egypt, and that YHWH thy Elohim brought thee out thence through a mighty hand and by a stretched out arm: therefore YHWH thy Elohim commanded thee to keep the Sabbath day.
Ɖo ŋku edzi be, ènye kluvi le Egipte kpɔ, eye Yehowa, wò Mawu la kplɔ wò do goe tso teƒe ma kple asi sesẽ kple abɔ si wòdo ɖe dzi. Le esia ta Yehowa, wò Mawu la de se na wò be nàɖo ŋku Dzudzɔgbe la dzi.
16 Honour thy father and thy mother, as YHWH thy Elohim hath commanded thee; that thy days may be prolonged, and that it may go well with thee, in the land which YHWH thy Elohim giveth thee.
Bu fofowò kple dawò. Ɖo ŋku edzi be esiae nye Yehowa, wò Mawu la ƒe se. Ne èwɔ ɖe edzi la, ànɔ agbe didi, eye wòadze edzi na wò le anyigba si Yehowa, wò Mawu la le nawòm la dzi.
17 Thou shalt not kill.
Mègawu ame o.
18 Neither shalt thou commit adultery.
Mègawɔ ahasi o.
19 Neither shalt thou steal.
Mègafi fi o.
20 Neither shalt thou bear false witness against thy neighbour.
Mègaɖi aʋatsoɖase le hawòvi ŋuti o.
21 Neither shalt thou desire thy neighbour's wife, neither shalt thou covet thy neighbour's house, his field, or his manservant, or his maidservant, his ox, or his ass, or any thing that is thy neighbour's.
Mègabia ŋu hawòvi ɖe srɔ̃a ta alo ɖe eƒe aƒe, anyigba, dɔlaŋutsu, dɔlanyɔnu, nyiwo, tedziwo loo, alo nu sia nu si nye etɔ la ta o.”
22 These words YHWH spake unto all your assembly in the mount out of the midst of the fire, of the cloud, and of the thick darkness, with a great voice: and he added no more. And he wrote them in two tables of stone, and delivered them unto me.
Yehowa de se siawo na mia dometɔ ɖe sia ɖe tso dzo bibi la titina esime lilikpo la kple viviti tsiɖitsiɖi ƒo xlã Sinai to la, se mawo ko wòde na mi ɣe ma ɣi, eye megatsɔ bubu aɖeke kpee o. Eŋlɔ wo ɖe kpe kpakpa eve dzi hetsɔ nam.
23 And it came to pass, when ye heard the voice out of the midst of the darkness, (for the mountain did burn with fire, ) that ye came near unto me, even all the heads of your tribes, and your elders;
Ke esi miese gbe sesẽ la tso viviti la me, eye miekpɔ dzo bibi dziŋɔ la le to la tame la, miaƒe toawo ƒe kplɔlawo katã va gbɔnye,
24 And ye said, Behold, YHWH our Elohim hath shewed us his glory and his greatness, and we have heard his voice out of the midst of the fire: we have seen this day that Elohim doth talk with man, and he liveth.
eye woɖe kuku be, “Egbe la, Yehowa, míaƒe Mawu la ɖe eƒe ŋutikɔkɔe kple gãnyenye fia mí. Míese eƒe gbe gɔ̃ hã tso dzo bibi la titina. Azɔ la, míenya be ame ate ŋu aƒo nu kple Mawu, eye maku o.
25 Now therefore why should we die? for this great fire will consume us: if we hear the voice of YHWH our Elohim any more, then we shall die.
Ke míeka ɖe edzi be míaku ne Yehowa míaƒe Mawu gaƒo nu na mí azɔ. Dzo bibi dziŋɔ sia atsrɔ̃ mí.
26 For who is there of all flesh, that hath heard the voice of the living Elohim speaking out of the midst of the fire, as we have, and lived?
Ame kae ate ŋu ase Mawu gbagbe la ƒe gbe tso dzo bibi la titina abe ale si míawo míesee ene, eye wòatsi agbe?
27 Go thou near, and hear all that YHWH our Elohim shall say: and speak thou unto us all that YHWH our Elohim shall speak unto thee; and we will hear it, and do it.
Yi nàɖo to nya siwo katã Yehowa, míaƒe Mawu la le gbɔgblɔm, eye nàva gblɔe na mí, ekema míaɖo to, eye miawɔ ɖe wo dzi.”
28 And YHWH heard the voice of your words, when ye spake unto me; and YHWH said unto me, I have heard the voice of the words of this people, which they have spoken unto thee: they have well said all that they have spoken.
Yehowa lɔ̃ ɖe miaƒe biabia la dzi, eye wògblɔ nam be, “Mese nya si wò ameawo gblɔ na wò; melɔ̃ ɖe edzi.
29 O that there were such an heart in them, that they would fear me, and keep all my commandments always, that it might be well with them, and with their children for ever!
O! Ne dzi sia tɔgbi anɔ wo me ɣe sia ɣi, eye woadi be yewoawɔ nye seawo dzi la, ekema nu sia nu anyo na wo le ŋgɔgbea, eye wòanyo na wo viwo to dzidzimeawo katã me!
30 Go say to them, Get you into your tents again.
“Yi, nàgblɔ na wo be, woatrɔ ayi woƒe agbadɔwo me.
31 But as for thee, stand thou here by me, and I will speak unto thee all the commandments, and the statutes, and the judgments, which thou shalt teach them, that they may do them in the land which I give them to possess it.
Emegbe la, wò ŋutɔ nàtrɔ va, atsi tsitre ɖe axanye le afi sia, matsɔ nye seawo katã na wò, nàfia seawo ameawo ne woawɔ wo dzi le anyigba si mele wo na ge la dzi.”
32 Ye shall observe to do therefore as YHWH your Elohim hath commanded you: ye shall not turn aside to the right hand or to the left.
Ale Mose gblɔ na ameawo be, “Ele be miawɔ ɖe Yehowa, miaƒe Mawu la ƒe seawo dzi, miazɔ ɖe eƒe ɖoɖo ɖe sia ɖe nu tututu, eye miazɔ le mɔ si wòta na mi la dzi pɛpɛpɛ.
33 Ye shall walk in all the ways which YHWH your Elohim hath commanded you, that ye may live, and that it may be well with you, and that ye may prolong your days in the land which ye shall possess.
Ne miewɔ esia la, eya ko hafi mianɔ agbe didi, eye wòadze edzi na mi le anyigba si xɔ ge miala la dzi.”
