Exodus 34
1 And the LORD said unto Moses, Hew thee two tables of stone like unto the first: and I will write upon the tables the words that were on the first tables, which thou brakest.
Yehowa gblɔ na Mose be, “Kpa kpe gbadzɛ eve abe gbãtɔwo ene, eye maŋlɔ Se siwo nɔ kpe siwo nègba la dzi la ɖe wo dzi.
2 And be ready by the morning, and come up in the morning unto mount Sinai, and present thyself there to me on the top of the mount.
Dzra ɖo etsɔ ŋdi nàva kpɔm le Sinai to la dzi.
3 And no man shall come up with thee, neither let any man be seen throughout all the mount; neither let the flocks nor herds feed before that mount.
Mègana ame aɖeke nava kpli wò o, eye ame aɖeke manɔ teƒe aɖeke le to sia dzi hã o. Mègana miaƒe alẽwo kple nyiwo naɖu gbe le teƒe si te ɖe to la ŋu o.”
4 And he hewed two tables of stone like unto the first; and Moses rose up early in the morning, and went up unto mount Sinai, as the LORD had commanded him, and took in his hand two tables of stone.
Ale Mose tsɔ kpe kpakpɛ eveawo abe gbãtɔwo ene, eye wòlia Sinai to la ŋdi kanya, abe ale si Yehowa ɖo nɛ be wòawɔ ene.
5 And the LORD descended in the cloud, and stood with him there, and proclaimed the name of the LORD.
Yehowa ɖi ɖe to la dzi le lilikpo dodo aɖe me, eye wòtsi tsitre ɖe egbɔ le afi ma ɖe gbeƒã eƒe ŋkɔ Yehowa nɛ.
6 And the LORD passed by before him, and proclaimed, The LORD, the LORD, a God full of compassion and gracious, slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy and truth;
Yehowa to Mose ŋkume, eye wòɖe gbeƒã eƒe ŋkɔ be, “Yehowa, Yehowa, Mawu nublanuikpɔla kple amenuvela, ame si gbɔa dzi ɖi blewu, eye eƒe lɔlɔ̃ kple nuteƒewɔwɔ nu metsina o;
7 keeping mercy for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin: and that will by no means clear [the guilty]; visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, and upon the children’s children, upon the third and upon the fourth generation.
ame si ɖea lɔlɔ̃ fiaa ame akpe nanewo, eye wòtsɔa ame vɔ̃ɖiwo kple aglãdzelawo ƒe nu vɔ̃wo kea wo, ke megbea tohehe na vodalawo o, eye wòhea to na ɖeviwo ɖe wo fofowo ƒe vodadawo ta tso dzidzime etɔ̃lia va se ɖe enelia dzi.”
8 And Moses made haste, and bowed his head toward the earth, and worshipped.
Mose tsyɔ mo anyi enumake ɖe Yehowa ŋkume, eye wòsubɔe.
9 And he said, If now I have found grace in thy sight, O Lord, let the Lord, I pray thee, go in the midst of us; for it is a stiffnecked people; and pardon our iniquity and our sin, and take us for thine inheritance.
Egblɔ be, “Nenye nyateƒe be nève nunye la, ekema O Yehowa, meɖe kuku kplɔ mí yi Ŋugbedodonyigba la dzi. Eme kɔ ƒãa be míenye dukɔ dzeaglã kple kɔlialiatɔwo, gake meɖe kuku, tsɔ míaƒe vodadawo kple nu vɔ̃wo ke mí, eye nàgaxɔ mí abe wò ŋutɔ tɔwòwo ene.”
10 And he said, Behold, I make a covenant: before all thy people I will do marvels, such as have not been wrought in all the earth, nor in any nation: and all the people among which thou art shall see the work of the LORD, for it is a terrible thing that I do with thee.
Yehowa ɖo eŋu be, “Enyo. Esiae nye nubabla si mawɔ kple wò. Mawɔ nukunu siwo tɔgbi ame aɖeke mewɔ le xexea me blibo la ƒe akpa aɖeke kpɔ o. Israelviwo katã akpɔ Yehowa ƒe ŋusẽ. Woakpɔ ŋusẽ triakɔ si maɖe afia to dziwò.”
11 Observe thou that which I command thee this day: behold, I drive out before thee the Amorite, and the Canaanite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, and the Hivite, and the Jebusite.
Nu si nàwɔ le nubabla sia me lae nye be nàlé nye seawo katã me ɖe asi. Ekema manya Amoritɔwo, Kanaantɔwo, Hititɔwo, Perizitɔwo, Hivitɔwo kple Yebusitɔwo katã le ŋgɔwò le anyigba la dzi.
12 Take heed to thyself, lest thou make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land whither thou goest, lest it be for a snare in the midst of thee:
Kpɔ nyuie be màbla nu kple ame siwo le anyigba si dzi yim miele la gbeɖegbeɖe o, elabena ne miebla nu kpli wo la, miade asi woƒe nu vɔ̃ɖiwo wɔwɔ me kaba.
13 but ye shall break down their altars, and dash in pieces their pillars, and ye shall cut down their Asherim:
Ke boŋ migbã woƒe vɔsamlekpuiwo kple woƒe legbawo eye miho woƒe aƒeliwo ƒu anyi,
14 for thou shalt worship no other god: for the LORD, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God:
elabena mele be miasubɔ mawu bubu aɖeke o, ke boŋ Yehowa ko, elabena Yehowa nye Mawu si dina be woasubɔ ye ɖeka ko.
15 lest thou make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land, and they go a whoring after their gods, and do sacrifice unto their gods, and one call thee and thou eat of his sacrifice;
“Miɖɔ ŋu ɖo be miagawɔ nubabla aɖeke tɔgbi kple ame siwo le anyigba la dzi o. Mawu geɖewo subɔlawo wonye, eya ta ne miewɔ ɖeka kpli wo la, woakpe mi ayi woƒe legbawo subɔƒe, eye míaɖu woƒe vɔsanuwo.
16 and thou take of their daughters unto thy sons, and their daughters go a whoring after their gods, and make thy sons go a whoring after their gods.
Eye ne míeɖe wo vinyɔnuwo na mia viŋutsuwo la, wo srɔ̃wo akplɔ wo ayi woƒe legbawo subɔƒewo, eye mia viŋutsuawo hã ada vo ɖe ŋunye to wo srɔ̃wo ƒe mawuawo subɔsubɔ me.
17 Thou shalt make thee no molten gods.
“Mele be miawɔ legba aɖeke na mia ɖokuiwo o.
18 The feast of unleavened bread shalt thou keep. Seven days thou shalt eat unleavened bread, as I commanded thee, at the time appointed in the month Abib: for in the month Abib thou camest out from Egypt.
“Ɖo ŋku edzi miaɖu Abolo Maʋamaʋã Ŋkekenyui ŋkeke adre abe ale si megblɔe na wò ene le ŋkeke ɖoɖoawo dzi, le Tedoxe me ƒe sia ƒe. Ɣleti sia mee miedzo le Egipte.
19 All that openeth the womb is mine; and all thy cattle that is male, the firstlings of ox and sheep.
“Nyitsu, agbo kple gbɔ̃tsu ɖe sia ɖe si ʋu dɔ nu na dadaa la nye tɔnye.
20 And the firstling of an ass thou shalt redeem with a lamb: and if thou wilt not redeem it, then thou shalt break its neck. All the firstborn of thy sons thou shalt redeem. And none shall appear before me empty.
Àte ŋu atsɔ alẽvi aɖɔli tedzi ƒe ŋgɔgbevi. Ne mèdi be yeaɖɔlii o la, ekema ele be nàŋe kɔe. Ke ele be miaƒle miaƒe ŋgɔgbevi ŋutsuwo katã ta. Ame aɖeke megava nye ŋkume asi gbɔlo o.
21 Six days thou shalt work, but on the seventh day thou shalt rest: in plowing time and in harvest thou shalt rest.
“Le nuƒãɣi kple nuŋeɣi gɔ̃ hã la, miawɔ dɔ ŋkeke ade ko, eye miadzudzɔ le ŋkeke adrea gbe.
22 And thou shalt observe the feast of weeks, [even] of the firstfruits of wheat harvest, and the feast of ingathering at the year’s end.
“Ɖo ŋku edzi miaɖu Kɔsiɖawo ƒe Ŋkekenyui, si nye lu gbãtɔwo ŋeŋe ƒe ŋkekenyuie la; emegbe la miaɖu Avaɖoɖo ƒe Ŋkekenyui le ƒea ƒe nuwuwu.
23 Three times in the year shall all thy males appear before the Lord GOD, the God of Israel.
Le ŋkekenyui siawo dometɔ ɖe sia ɖe dzi la, ele be Israel ŋutsuwo kple ŋutsuviwo katã nado ɖe Aƒetɔ Yehowa, Israel ƒe Mawu ŋkume.
24 For I will cast out nations before thee, and enlarge thy borders: neither shall any man desire thy land, when thou goest up to appear before the LORD thy God three times in the year.
Futɔ aɖeke madze miaƒe anyigba dzi, aɖu mia dzi ne mieyi toa dzi be miado ɖe Yehowa, miaƒe Mawu la ŋkume le azã etɔ̃ mawo dzi ƒe sia ƒe o, elabena manya dukɔawo ɖa le mia ŋgɔ, eye makeke miaƒe liƒowo ɖe enu.
25 Thou shalt not offer the blood of my sacrifice with leavened bread; neither shall the sacrifice of the feast of the passover be left unto the morning.
“Megakpe nye vɔsalãwo ƒe ʋu ɖe abolo si woƒo kple amɔ ʋaʋã la ŋu o. Mele be Ŋutitotoŋkekenyui ƒe vɔsalã lã ƒe akpa aɖeke natsi anyi ŋu nake ɖe edzi o.
26 The first of the firstfruits of thy ground thou shalt bring unto the house of the LORD thy God. Thou shalt not seethe a kid in its mother’s milk.
“Ne èxa wò agblemenukuwo la, ele be nàtsɔ wò ŋkeke gbãtɔ ƒe nuku nyuitɔwo ƒe ɖe va Yehowa, wò Mawu ƒe aƒe me. “Mègaɖa gbɔ̃vi le dadaa ƒe notsi me o.”
27 And the LORD said unto Moses, Write thou these words: for after the tenor of these words I have made a covenant with thee and with Israel.
Yehowa yi edzi gblɔ na Mose be, “Ŋlɔ se siwo mede na wò egbe la da ɖi, elabena woawoe nye ɖoɖo siwo ku ɖe nye nubabla si mewɔ kple wò kple Israel la ŋu.”
28 And he was there with the LORD forty days and forty nights; he did neither eat bread, nor drink water. And he wrote upon the tables the words of the covenant, the ten commandments.
Mose yi ɖanɔ toa dzi kple Yehowa ŋkeke blaene kple zã blaene. Meɖu naneke alo no naneke le ŋkeke siawo me o. Le ɣeyiɣi sia me la, Mawu ŋlɔ nubabla la me nya siwo nye Se Ewoawo la ɖe kpe kpakpɛ eveawo dzi.
29 And it came to pass, when Moses came down from mount Sinai with the two tables of the testimony in Moses’ hand, when he came down from the mount, that Moses wist not that the skin of his face shone by reason of his speaking with him.
Esi Mose ɖi tso Sinai toa dzi gbɔna kple kpe kpakpɛawo la, menya be yeƒe mo nɔ keklẽm le yeƒe Mawu gbɔ nɔnɔ ta o.
30 And when Aaron and all the children of Israel saw Moses, behold, the skin of his face shone; and they were afraid to come nigh him.
Le keklẽ si nɔ mo nɛ ta la, Aron kple Israelviwo vɔ̃ be yewoate ɖe eŋu.
31 And Moses called unto them; and Aaron and all the rulers of the congregation returned unto him: and Moses spake to them.
Ke Mose yɔ wo. Aron kple ameha la ƒe kplɔlawo te ɖe eŋu, eye woƒo nu kplii.
32 And afterward all the children of Israel came nigh: and he gave them in commandment all that the LORD had spoken with him in mount Sinai.
Le esia megbe la, Israelviwo katã va egbɔ, eye wòtsɔ se siwo Yehowa tsɔ nɛ le Sinai toa dzi la na wo.
33 And when Moses had done speaking with them, he put a veil on his face.
Esime Mose wu eƒe nuƒoa nu la, etsɔ motsyɔvɔ tsyɔ ŋkume.
34 But when Moses went in before the LORD to speak with him, he took the veil off, until he came out; and he came out, and spake unto the children of Israel that which he was commanded;
Ne eyina agbadɔ la me be yeaƒo nu kple Yehowa la, eɖea motsyɔvɔ la ɖa va se ɖe esime wòado go. Ekema agblɔ se siwo katã Mawu de nɛ la na Israelviwo,
35 and the children of Israel saw the face of Moses, that the skin of Moses’ face shone: and Moses put the veil upon his face again, until he went in to speak with him.
eye woakpɔ eƒe mo wòanɔ keklẽm. Le esia megbe la, egatsɔa motsyɔvɔ la tsyɔa mo va se ɖe esime wòagatrɔ ayi be yeaƒo nu kple Yehowa.
