Deuteronomy 6
1 Now these [are] the commandments, the statutes, and the judgments which the LORD your God commanded to teach you, that ye may do [them] in the land whither ye go to possess it:
Yehowa, miaƒe Mawu la gblɔ nam be matsɔ se siawo katã na mi, miawɔ ɖe wo dzi le anyigba si dzi yi ge miala fifia, eye mianɔ la dzi.
2 That thou mayst fear the LORD thy God, to keep all his statutes and his commandments which I command thee, thou, and thy son, and thy son's son, all the days of thy life: and that thy days may be prolonged.
Se siawo ƒe taɖodzinue nye woana miawo, mia viwo kple mia tɔgbuiyɔviwo miavɔ̃ Yehowa, miaƒe Mawu la to eƒe ɖoɖowo katã dzi wɔwɔ me le miaƒe agbemeŋkekewo katã me. Ne miete ŋu wɔe la, ƒe geɖe siwo me nunyoname geɖewo le la anɔ mia ŋgɔ,
3 Hear therefore, O Israel, and observe to do [it]; that it may be well with thee, and that ye may increase mightily, as the LORD God of thy fathers hath promised thee, in the land that floweth with milk and honey.
eya ta O! Israel, ɖo to se ɖe sia ɖe, eye nàkpɔ egbɔ be yewɔ ɖe wo dzi ale be nàkpɔ dzidzedze le nu sia nu me, eye nàdzi sɔ gbɔ. Ne èwɔ ɖe se siawo katã dzi la, àzu dukɔ gã aɖe le anyigba nyui la dzi afi si “notsi kple anyitsi bɔ ɖo” abe ale si fofowòwo ƒe Mawu la do ŋugbe na wò ene.
4 Hear, O Israel: the LORD our God [is] one LORD:
O! Israel, ɖo to: Yehowa míaƒe Mawu la, Yehowa ɖeka koe.
5 And thou shalt love the LORD thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might.
Ele be nàlɔ̃ Yehowa, wò Mawu la kple wò dzi blibo, wò luʋɔ blibo kple wò ŋusẽ blibo.
6 And these words which I command thee this day, shall be in thy heart:
Hekpe ɖe esia ŋuti la, ele be nàbu se siwo mele nawòm egbe la ŋu ɣe sia ɣi.
7 And thou shalt teach them diligently to thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thy house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up.
Ele be nàkui ɖe to me na viwòwo, eye nàƒo nu na wo tso wo ŋu ne miele aƒe me alo ne miele tsa ɖim, le anyimlɔɣi kple fɔfɔɣi abe nu gbãtɔ ene le ŋdi me.
8 And thou shalt bind them for a sign upon thy hand, and they shall be as frontlets between thy eyes.
Tsi wo ɖe wò asibidɛ ŋu abe dzesi ene, bla wo ɖe wò ŋgonu,
9 And thou shalt write them upon the posts of thy house, and on thy gates.
eye nàŋlɔ wo ɖe ʋɔtrutiwo ŋu le wò aƒe me!
10 And it shall be, when the LORD thy God shall have brought thee into the land which he swore to thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give thee great and goodly cities, which thou didst not build,
Ne Yehowa, wò Mawu la kplɔ wò va ɖo anyigba si ŋugbe wòdo na fofowòwo, Abraham, Isak kple Yakob dzi, eye ne etsɔ du gã siwo me nu nyuiwo le na wò,
11 And houses full of all good [things], which thou didst not fill, and wells digged, which thou didst not dig, vineyards and olive-trees, which thou didst not plant; when thou shalt have eaten and be full;
du siwo mètso o, vudo siwo mèɖe o, waingble siwo mède o kple amiti siwo mèdo o, eye ne èɖu nu ɖi ƒo la,
12 [Then] beware lest thou shouldst forget the LORD, who brought thee forth from the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage.
ekema kpɔ nyuie be, màŋlɔ Yehowa si kplɔ wò tso Egiptenyigba dzi, tso kluvinyenye me la be o.
13 Thou shalt fear the LORD thy God, and serve him, and shalt swear by his name.
Ne èɖi ƒo la, mègaŋlɔ Yehowa, wò Mawu la vɔvɔ̃ kple esubɔsubɔ be o. Wɔ eya ko ƒe ŋkɔ ŋu dɔ le atamkaka me.
14 Ye shall not go after other gods, of the gods of the people which [are] around you;
Mele be nàsubɔ dukɔ siwo ƒo xlã wò la ƒe mawuwo o,
15 (For the LORD thy God [is] a jealous God among you) lest the anger of the LORD thy God should be kindled against thee, and destroy thee from off the face of the earth.
elabena Yehowa, wò Mawu la, ame si le mia dome la nye Mawu ʋãŋu; ate ŋu ado dɔmedzoe ɖe ŋuwò, eye wòatsrɔ̃ wò ɖa le anyigba la ŋkume.
16 Ye shall not tempt the LORD your God, as ye tempted [him] in Massah.
Mele be nàte Yehowa wò Mawu la kpɔ abe ale si nètee kpɔ le Masa ene o.
17 Ye shall diligently keep the commandments of the LORD your God, and his testimonies, and his statutes, which he hath commanded thee.
Ele be nàwɔ eƒe sewo katã dzi.
18 And thou shalt do [that which is] right and good in the sight of the LORD: that it may be well with thee, and that thou mayest go in and possess the good land which the LORD swore to thy fathers,
Eya ko hafi nàwɔ nu si dze, eye wònyo le Yehowa ŋkume. Ne èwɔ ɖe eƒe sewo dzi la, nu sia nu adze edzi na wò, eye nàte ŋu ayi aɖaxɔ anyigba nyui si ŋugbe Yehowa do na tɔgbuiwòwo.
19 To cast out all thy enemies from before thee, as the LORD hath spoken.
Hekpe ɖe esia ŋu la, ànya ame siwo le anyigba la dzi ɖa abe ale si Yehowa do ŋugbe be yeakpe ɖe ŋuwò nàwɔ ene.
20 [And] when thy son shall ask thee in time to come, saying, What [mean] the testimonies, and the statutes, and the judgments, which the LORD our God hath commanded you?
Ne viwò va bia wò gbe aɖe gbe be, “Nu ka see nye esi Yehowa miaƒe Mawu de na mi?” hã la,
21 Then thou shalt say to thy son, We were Pharoah's bond-men in Egypt: and the LORD brought us out of Egypt with a mighty hand:
ele be nàgblɔ nɛ be, “Míenye Farao ƒe kluviwo kpɔ le Egipte. Yehowa ɖe mí tso Egipte to eƒe ŋusẽ gã la
22 And the LORD showed signs and wonders, great and distressing, upon Egypt, upon Pharaoh, and upon all his household, before our eyes:
kple nukunu gãwo wɔwɔ kple fufiafia Egipte, Farao kple eƒe amewo katã me. Míekpɔ nu siawo katã kple míaƒe ŋkuwo.
23 And he brought us out from thence, that he might bring us in, to give us the land which he swore to our fathers.
Yehowa kplɔ mí tso Egipte be yeate ŋu atsɔ anyigba sia, si ŋugbe wòdo na mía tɔgbuiwo la na mí.
24 And the LORD commanded us to do all these statutes, to fear the LORD our God, for our good always, that he might preserve us alive, as [it is] at this day.
Ebia tso mía si be míawɔ se siawo katã dzi, eye míade bubu ye ŋu ale be yeate ŋu alé agbe ɖe te na mí abe ale si wòwɔ va se ɖe fifia ene,
25 And it shall be our righteousness, if we observe to do all these commandments before the LORD our God, as he hath commanded us.
elabena ɣe sia ɣi si míewɔ ɖe Yehowa miaƒe Mawu ƒe seawo katã dzi la, nu sia nu dzea edzi na mí nyuie.”
