Deuteronomy 10
1 “At that time YHWH has said to me, Hew two tablets of stone for yourself like the first, and come up to Me into the mountain, and you have made an ark of wood for yourself,
“Yehowa gblɔ nam ɣe ma ɣi be makpa kpe eve bubu abe gbãtɔwo ene, matsɔ ati akpa aɖaka aɖe si me woatsɔ kpe eveawo adzra ɖo la, eye matrɔ ava ye, Mawu gbɔ le toa dzi.
2 and I write on the tablets the words which were on the first tablets, which you have broken, and you have placed them in the Ark.
Egblɔ nam be yeagbugbɔ se siwo tututu yeŋlɔ ɖe kpe siwo megbã dzi la aŋlɔ ɖe kpe yeyeawo dzi, eye matsɔ wo ade Aɖaka la me.
3 And I make an ark of shittim wood, and hew two tablets of stone like the first, and go up to the mountain with the two tablets in my hand.
Ale metsɔ akasiati wɔ Aɖaka la. Mekpa kpe eve abe gbãtɔwo ene hetsɔ wo yi na Yehowa le to la dzi.
4 And He writes on the tablets according to the first writing, the Ten Commandments, which YHWH has spoken to you in the mountain, out of the midst of the fire, in the day of the assembly, and YHWH gives them to me,
Egaŋlɔ Se Ewoawo ɖe wo dzi tsɔ nam. Wonye se siwo tututu wònam tso dzo bibi la ƒe titina le toa dzi le mi katã ŋkume le to la te.
5 and I turn and come down from the mountain, and put the tablets in the Ark which I had made, and they are there, as YHWH commanded me.
Meɖi eye metsɔ kpe eveawo de Aɖaka si mekpa la me. Wole afi ma va se ɖe egbe abe ale si Yehowa ɖo nam ene.
6 And the sons of Israel have journeyed from Beeroth of the sons of Jaakan to Mosera; Aaron died there, and he is buried there, and his son Eleazar acts as priest in his stead.
“Le esia megbe la, Israelviwo zɔ mɔ tso Bene Yaakan yi Mosera afi si Aron ku, eye woɖii ɖo. Aron ƒe viŋutsu Eleaza zu nunɔla ɖe eteƒe.
7 From there they journeyed to Gudgodah, and from Gudgodah to Jotbathah, a land of brooks of water.
“Wozɔ mɔ yi Gudgoda heyi Yotbata, afi si tsi bɔ ɖo.
8 At that time YHWH has separated the tribe of Levi to carry the Ark of the Covenant of YHWH, to stand before YHWH, to serve Him, and to bless in His Name to this day;
Afi mae Yehowa ɖe Levi ƒe viwo ɖe aga le be woakɔ nubablaɖaka si me Yehowa ƒe Se Ewoawo le, eye woanɔ tsitre ɖe Yehowa ŋkume awɔ Yehowa ƒe dɔ, ade bubu eƒe ŋkɔ ŋu abe ale si wowɔna egbe ene.
9 therefore there has not been a portion and inheritance for Levi with his brothers; YHWH Himself [is] his inheritance, as your God YHWH has spoken to him.
Eya ta womena anyigba Levitɔwo le Ŋugbedodonyigba la dzi abe ale si wona wo nɔvi to bubu me tɔwo ene o, elabena Yehowa, miaƒe Mawu gblɔ na wo be ye ŋutɔe nye woƒe domenyinu.
10 And I have stood in the mountain, as the former days, [for] forty days and forty nights, and YHWH also listens to me at that time; YHWH has not willed to destroy you.
Abe ale si megblɔ do ŋgɔe ene la, menɔ to la dzi le Yehowa ŋkume zi evelia ŋkeke blaene kple zã blaene, abe ale si mewɔ zi gbãtɔ ene. Yehowa ɖo to nye kokoƒoƒo, eye metsrɔ̃ mi o.
11 And YHWH says to me, Rise, go to journey before the people, and they go in and possess the land which I have sworn to their fathers to give to them.
“Ke egblɔ nam be, ‘Tso, nàkplɔ ameawo yi anyigba si ŋugbe medo na wo fofowo la dzi. Ɣeyiɣi la de be woayi aɖaxɔe!’”
12 And now, O Israel, what is your God YHWH asking from you, except to fear your God YHWH, to walk in all His ways, and to love Him, and to serve your God YHWH with all your heart and with all your soul,
“Azɔ, Israel, nu ka Yehowa, wò Mawu la di tso asiwò wu be nàvɔ̃ Yehowa, wò Mawu la, nàzɔ le eƒe mɔwo katã dzi, nàlɔ̃e, eye nàsubɔe kple wò dzi blibo kple wò luʋɔ blibo,
13 to keep the commands of YHWH, and His statutes which I am commanding you today, for good for you?
eye nàwɔ ɖe Yehowa ƒe sewo kple ɖoɖo siwo katã mena mi egbe la dzi ale be wòanyo na wò?
14 Behold, the heavens, even the heavens of the heavens, [belong] to your God YHWH, [as does] the earth and all that [is] in it.
Kpɔ ɖa, anyigba kple dziƒo ƒe kɔkɔƒe kekeake nye Yehowa, wò Mawu la tɔ.
15 Only, YHWH has delighted in your fathers, to love them, and He fixes on their seed after them—on you, out of all the peoples, as [at] this day.
Ke mia fofowo ƒe nu nyo eŋu, eye wòlɔ̃ wo ale gbegbe be wòtia mi, wo viwo, be miaƒo dukɔwo katã ta abe ale si wòle dzedzem egbe ene,
16 And you have circumcised the foreskin of your heart, and you do not harden your neck anymore.
eya ta mikɔ miaƒe nu vɔ̃ dziwo ŋu, eye miadzudzɔ kɔlialiatɔwo ƒe agbenɔnɔ.
17 For He, your God YHWH, [is] God of the gods and Lord of the lords—the great, the mighty, and the fearful God, who does not accept by appearances, nor takes a bribe;
“Yehowa, miaƒe Mawu lae nye mawuwo dzi Mawu gã, ŋusẽtɔ la, Mawu si ŋu ŋɔdzi le, ame si medea ame aɖeke dzi o, eye mexɔa zãnu hã o.
18 He is doing the judgment of fatherless and widow, and loving the sojourner, to give bread and raiment to him.
Ewɔa nu dzɔdzɔe na tsyɔ̃eviwo kple ahosiwo. Elɔ̃a amedzrowo, eye wònaa nuɖuɖu kple nutata wo.
19 And you have loved the sojourner, for you were sojourners in the land of Egypt.
Ele be miawo hã mialɔ̃ amedzrowo, elabena miawo hã mienye amedzrowo le Egiptenyigba dzi kpɔ.
20 You fear your God YHWH, you serve Him, and you cleave to Him, and you swear by His Name.
Ele be miavɔ̃ Yehowa, miaƒe Mawu la, miasubɔe anukwaretɔe, mialé ɖe eŋu, eye miaka atam ɖe eya ɖeɖe ko ƒe ŋkɔ dzi.
21 He [is] your praise, and He [is] your God, who has done these great and fearful [things] with you which your eyes have seen.
Eyae nye wò kafukafu, eye wòganye wò Mawu, ame si wɔ nukunu gã siwo teƒe miawo ŋutɔ miekpɔ.
22 Your fathers went down to Egypt with seventy persons, and now your God YHWH has made you as [the] stars of the heavens for multitude.”
Mia fofowo dometɔ ame blaadre koe yi Egipte, gake azɔ la, Yehowa, miaƒe Mawu la wɔ mi miedzi sɔ gbɔ abe ɣletiviwo le dziŋgɔli me ene!”
