Leviticus 19
1 And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying,
Yehowa gblɔ na Mose be,
2 Speak unto all the congregation of the children of Israel, and say unto them, All of you shall be holy: for I the LORD your God am holy.
“Ƒo nu na Israel ƒe ƒuƒoƒo blibo la, eye nàgblɔ na wo be, ‘Minɔ kɔkɔe, elabena nye, Yehowa, miaƒe Mawu, mele kɔkɔe.
3 All of you shall fear every man his mother, and his father, and keep my sabbaths: I am the LORD your God.
“‘Ele be mia dometɔ ɖe sia ɖe nabu fofoa kple dadaa, eye miaɖo ŋku nye Dzudzɔgbewo dzi. Nyee nye Yehowa miaƒe Mawu.
4 Turn all of you not unto idols, nor make to yourselves molten gods: I am the LORD your God.
“‘Migatrɔ ɖe legbawo ŋu alo miatsɔ ga awɔ mawuwo na mia ɖokuiwo o. Nyee nye Yehowa, miaƒe Mawu.
5 And if all of you offer a sacrifice of peace offerings unto the LORD, all of you shall offer it at your own will.
“‘Ne miesa akpedavɔ na Yehowa la, misae tututu ɖe sea nu ale be mate ŋu axɔe.
6 It shall be eaten the same day all of you offer it, and on the next day: and if ought remain until the third day, it shall be burnt in the fire.
Miɖui le ŋkeke si dzi miesa vɔ la le alo ne ŋu ke. Nu si atsi anyi va se ɖe ŋkeke etɔ̃a gbe la, woatɔ dzoe,
7 And if it be eaten at all on the third day, it is abominable; it shall not be accepted.
elabena esi woaɖu le ŋkeke etɔ̃a gbe la, madze ŋunye o, eye nyemate ŋu axɔe o.
8 Therefore every one that eats it shall bear his iniquity, because he has profaned the hallowed thing of the LORD: and that soul shall be cut off from among his people.
Ne mieɖui le ŋkeke etɔ̃a gbe la, mieɖi fɔ, elabena miedo ŋunyɔ Yehowa ƒe kɔkɔenyenye, eye woaɖe mi ɖa tso Yehowa ƒe amewo dome.
9 And when all of you reap the harvest of your land, you shall not wholly reap the corners of your field, neither shall you gather the gleanings of your harvest.
“‘Ne miexa miaƒe agblemenuwo la, migaŋe nuku siwo le agblea to o, eye migafɔ nuku siwo dudu ɖe anyigba hã o.
10 And you shall not glean your vineyard, neither shall you gather every grape of your vineyard; you shall leave them for the poor and stranger: I am the LORD your God.
Miwɔ nenema ke le miaƒe wain tsetsewo hã gome. Migagbe kutsetseawo katã o, eye migafɔ esiwo ge ɖe anyigba hã o. Migblẽ wo ɖi na ame dahewo kple amedzro siwo le mia dome, elabena nyee nye Yehowa, miaƒe Mawu.
11 All of you shall not steal, neither deal falsely, neither lie one to another.
“‘Migafi fi o. “‘Migada alakpa o. “‘Ame aɖeke megaba nɔvia o.
12 And all of you shall not swear by my name falsely, neither shall you profane the name of your God: I am the LORD.
“‘Migatsɔ nye ŋkɔ aka atam ɖe aʋatsonya aɖeke dzi, eye miato nu sia wɔwɔ me aƒo fi ade nye ŋkɔ o, elabena nyee nye Yehowa, miaƒe Mawu.
13 You shall not defraud your neighbour, neither rob him: the wages of him that is hired shall not abide with you all night until the morning.
“‘Migaba ame aɖeke alo ate ame aɖeke ɖe to o. “‘Mikpɔ egbɔ be yewoxe fe na yewoƒe agbatedɔwɔlawo kaba. Ne fe aɖe li miaxe na agbatedɔwɔlawo la, migana fe ma natsi mia ŋuti ŋu nake ɖe edzi o.
14 You shall not curse the deaf, nor put a stumbling block before the blind, but shall fear your God: I am the LORD.
“‘Migaƒo fi de tekunɔ o, eye migada nu ɖe ŋkuagbãtɔ si va yina la ƒe mɔ me o. Mivɔ̃ miaƒe Mawu. Nyee nye Yehowa, miaƒe Mawu.
15 All of you shall do no unrighteousness in judgment: you shall not respect the person of the poor, nor honor the person of the mighty: but in righteousness shall you judge your neighbour.
“‘Ele be ʋɔnudrɔ̃lawo nafia dzɔdzɔenyenye le woƒe nyametsotsowo me, eye womakpɔ ame aɖeke ƒe ahedada alo hotsuikpɔkpɔ dzi ɖa o. Ele be woawɔ nuteƒe ɣe sia ɣi.
16 You shall not go up and down as a talebearer among your people: neither shall you stand against the blood of your neighbour; I am the LORD.
“‘Mèganye sakplisala anɔ yiyim le wò dukɔ me o. “‘Mègade nɔviwò asi be woatso kufia nɛ o, elabena nyee nye Yehowa.
17 You shall not hate your brother in your heart: you shall in any way rebuke your neighbour, and not suffer sin upon him.
“‘Mègalé fu nɔviwò o. Ka mo na ame si wɔ nu vɔ̃. Ne ègbe mokaka nɛ la, wò hã èwɔ nu vɔ̃ abe eya ke ene.
18 You shall not avenge, nor bear any grudge against the children of your people, but you shall love your neighbour as yourself: I am the LORD.
“‘Mègabia hlɔ̃ o. Mègalé nya ɖe dɔ me o, ke boŋ lɔ̃ nɔviwò abe ɖokuiwò ene, elabena nyee nye Yehowa.
19 All of you shall keep my statutes. You shall not let your cattle gender with a diverse kind: you shall not sow your field with mingled seed: neither shall a garment mingled of linen and woolen come upon you.
“‘Miwɔ nye seawo dzi. “‘Migana lã nayɔ asi lã ƒomevi bubu o. “‘Mègaƒã nuku ƒomevi vovovowo ɖe wò agble me o. “‘Mègado awu si wotɔ kple avɔ si wotsɔ lãfu tsaka ɖeti lɔ̃ la o.
20 And whosoever lies carnally with a woman, that is a bondmaid, betrothed to an husband, and not at all redeemed, nor freedom given her; she shall be scourged; they shall not be put to death, because she was not free.
“‘Ne ŋutsu aɖe de asi kosi si menye ablɔɖeme o ŋu, eye wòbia eta na ɖeɖe la, woadrɔ̃ ʋɔnu wo le ʋɔnudrɔ̃ƒe, gake womawu wo o, elabena kosi la menye ablɔɖeme o.
21 And he shall bring his trespass offering unto the LORD, unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, even a ram for a trespass offering.
Ele be ŋutsu la natsɔ eƒe fɔɖivɔsa vɛ na Yehowa le Agbadɔ la ƒe mɔnu. Nu si wòanae nye agbo.
22 And the priest shall make an atonement for him with the ram of the trespass offering before the LORD for his sin which he has done: and the sin which he has done shall be forgiven him.
Nunɔla la alé avu kple agbo la le nu vɔ̃ si ŋutsu la wɔ ta, eye woatsɔe akee.
23 And when all of you shall come into the land, and shall have planted all manner of trees for food, then all of you shall count the fruit thereof as uncircumcised: three years shall it be as uncircumcised unto you: it shall not be eaten of.
“‘Ne mieva ɖo anyigba la dzi, eye miedo kutsetseti ƒomevi vovovowo la, migaɖu ƒe gbãtɔ etɔ̃awo ƒe tsetseawo o, elabena wole abe nu siwo ŋu wogbe nu le ene. Womaɖu wo o.
24 But in the fourth year all the fruit thereof shall be holy to praise the LORD likewise.
Woatsɔ ƒe enelia ƒe kutsetsewo katã ana Yehowa abe eƒe kafukafunu ene.
25 And in the fifth year shall all of you eat of the fruit thereof, that it may yield unto you the increase thereof: I am the LORD your God.
Ƒe atɔ̃lia ƒe kutsetsewoe nye mia tɔ. Nyee nye Yehowa miaƒe Mawu.
26 All of you shall not eat any thing with the blood: neither shall all of you use enchantment, nor observe times.

27 All of you shall not round the corners of your heads, neither shall you ruin the corners of your beard.

28 All of you shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor print any marks upon you: I am the LORD.
“‘Migasi mia ɖokuiwo alo miasi ame aɖe ŋuti le tsyɔ̃wɔwɔ me o. Nyee nye Yehowa.
29 Do not prostitute your daughter, to cause her to be a whore; lest the land fall to whoredom, and the land become full of wickedness.
“‘Mègagblẽ viwò ɖetugbi ƒe dzadzɛnyenye me to ewɔwɔ gboloe me o. Ne menye nenema o la, anyigba la azu gbolonyigba, eye ŋukpenanuwo anɔ edzi.
30 All of you shall keep my sabbaths, and reverence my sanctuary: I am the LORD.

31 Regard not them that have familiar spirits, neither seek after wizards, to be defiled by them: I am the LORD your God.

32 You shall rise up before the hoary head, and honour the face of the old man, and fear your God: I am the LORD.
“‘Ele be miatsɔ bubu kple sisiɖa si dze la na ame tsitsiwo le Mawuvɔvɔ̃ ta. Nyee nye Yehowa!
33 And if a stranger sojourn with you in your land, all of you shall not vex him.
“‘Migate amedzro siwo le miaƒe anyigba dzi la ɖe to o, eye migaba wo o.
34 But the stranger that dwells with you shall be unto you as one born among you, and you shall love him as yourself; for all of you were strangers in the land of Egypt: I am the LORD your God.
Ele be mialé be na wo abe mia ɖokuiwo ene, eye miaɖo ŋku edzi be miawo hã mienye amedzrowo kpɔ le Egiptenyigba dzi. Nyee nye Yehowa, miaƒe Mawu!
35 All of you shall do no unrighteousness in judgment, in measuring rod, in weight, or in measure.
“‘Migawɔ dzidzenu mademadewo ŋu dɔ ne miele didime, kpekpeme kple agbɔsɔsɔ dzidzem o.
36 Just balances, just weights, a just ephah, and a just hin, shall all of you have: I am the LORD your God, which brought you out of the land of Egypt.
Miwɔ nudanu kple nudakpe anukwaretɔwo, nudanu kple nudzidzenu anukwaretɔwo ŋu dɔ. Nyee nye Yehowa, miaƒe Mawu, ame si ɖe mi tso Egipte.
37 Therefore shall all of you observe all my statutes, and all my judgments, and do them: I am the LORD.
“‘Ele be mialé nye sewo kple ɖoɖowo katã me ɖe asi, eye miawɔ wo dzi, elabena nyee nye Yehowa!’”
