Exodus 31
1 The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
Yehowa gblɔ na Mose be,
2 “Behold, I have called by name Bezalel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah.
“Kpɔ ɖa, metia Bezalel, Uri ƒe viŋutsu kple Hur ƒe tɔgbuiyɔvi tso Yuda ƒe to la me.
3 I have filled him with the Spirit of God, in wisdom, and in understanding, and in knowledge, and in all kinds of workmanship,
Mena Mawu ƒe Gbɔgbɔ yɔ eme, eye wòna nunya deto kple ŋutete kple aɖaŋu tɔxɛe hena agbadɔ la tutu kple nu sia nu si le eme la wɔwɔ.
4 to devise skilful works, to work in gold, and in silver, and in bronze,
Ŋutete blibo le eŋu hena nuwo wɔwɔ kple sika, klosalo kple akɔbli.
5 and in cutting of stones for setting, and in carving of wood, to work in all kinds of workmanship.
Enya ale si woatsɔ kpe xɔasiwo awɔ nuwo, eye woatsɔ atiwo akpa nuwoe.
6 Behold, I myself have appointed with him Oholiab, the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan; and in the heart of all who are wise-hearted I have put wisdom, that they may make all that I have commanded you:
Metia Oholiab, Ahisamak ƒe vi tso Dan ƒe to la me be wòanye eƒe kpeɖeŋutɔ. “Gawu la, megatsɔ aɖaŋu tɔxɛwo na ame siwo katã mienya be wonye aɖaŋutɔwo ale be woate ŋu awɔ nu siwo mebe nàwɔ la katã:
7 the Tent of Meeting, the ark of the covenant, the mercy seat that is on it, all the furniture of the Tent,
“agbadɔ la, Nubablaɖaka la kple eƒe nutuvi, kple nu siwo katã le agbadɔ la me,
8 the table and its vessels, the pure lamp stand with all its vessels, the altar of incense,
vɔsamlekpui la kple eŋunuwo, sikakaɖiti la kple eŋunuwo, dzudzɔdovɔsamlekpui la,
9 the altar of burnt offering with all its vessels, the basin and its base,
numevɔsamlekpui la kple eŋunuwo, tsileganu la kple eƒe zɔ,
10 the finely worked garments—the holy garments for Aaron the priest, the garments of his sons to minister in the priest’s office—
Nunɔla Aron ƒe awu nyui kɔkɔewo kple Aron ƒe viŋutsuwo ƒe awuwo, ale be woate ŋu awɔ dɔ nam abe nunɔlawo ene,
11 the anointing oil, and the incense of sweet spices for the holy place: according to all that I have commanded you they shall do.”
Teƒe Kɔkɔe la ƒe amisisi la kple dzudzɔdonu ʋeʋĩwo. “Ele be woawɔ nu siawo katã ɖe ale si meɖo na wò la nu.”
12 The LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
Yehowa yi edzi gblɔ na Mose be,
13 “Speak also to the children of Israel, saying, ‘Most certainly you shall keep my Sabbaths; for it is a sign between me and you throughout your generations, that you may know that I am the LORD who sanctifies you.
“Gblɔ na Israelviwo be, ‘Ele be miaɖo ŋku nye Dzudzɔgbe la dzi, elabena Dzudzɔgbe la nye ŋkuɖoɖo nubabla si le nye kple miawo dome la dzi tegbetegbe. Esia awɔe be miaɖo ŋku edzi be nyee nye Yehowa, ame si wɔ mi kɔkɔe.’
14 You shall keep the Sabbath therefore, for it is holy to you. Everyone who profanes it shall surely be put to death; for whoever does any work therein, that soul shall be cut off from amongst his people.
“Ele be miadzudzɔ le Dzudzɔgbe la dzi, elabena enye ŋkeke kɔkɔe na mi. Ele be woawu ame sia ame si ada le se sia dzi la, eye woaɖe ame sia ame si awɔ dɔ le ŋkeke sia dzi la ƒe agbe ɖa le etɔwo dome.
15 Six days shall work be done, but on the seventh day is a Sabbath of solemn rest, holy to the LORD. Whoever does any work on the Sabbath day shall surely be put to death.
Ŋkeke ade woawɔ dɔ, ke ŋkeke adrelia nye Dzudzɔgbe; ŋkeke kɔkɔe wònye na Yehowa. Ame sia ame si awɔ dɔ le ŋkeke sia dzi la, ele be woawui.
16 Therefore the children of Israel shall keep the Sabbath, to observe the Sabbath throughout their generations, for a perpetual covenant.
Miwɔ dɔ ŋkeke ade ko, elabena ŋkeke adrelia nye ŋkeke tɔxɛ hena dzudzɔ, eye wòle kɔkɔe na nye Yehowa. Se sia nye nubabla mavɔ, eye wòle be Israelviwo nawɔ edzi.
17 It is a sign between me and the children of Israel forever; for in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, and on the seventh day he rested, and was refreshed.’”
Enye nubabla si le nye kple Israelviwo dome la ƒe dzesi mavɔ, elabena ŋkeke adee nye, Yehowa metsɔ wɔ dziƒo kple anyigba, eye medzudzɔ le ŋkeke adrea gbe.”
18 When he finished speaking with him on Mount Sinai, he gave Moses the two tablets of the covenant, stone tablets, written with God’s finger.
Esi Yehowa wu eƒe nuƒoƒo kple Mose nu le Sinai to la dzi la, etsɔ kpe eve siwo dzi eya ŋutɔ tsɔ eƒe asibidɛ ŋlɔ Se Ewoawo ɖo la na Mose.
