< Deuteronomy 9 >

1 Here thou, Israel; thou schalt passe Jordan to dai, that thou welde mooste naciouns, and strengere than thou; grete citees, and wallid `til to heuene;
“O! Israel, see. Èle Yɔdan tɔsisi la tso ge egbe, eye nàde asi dukɔ siwo le tɔsisi la godo la nyanya me. Dukɔ mawo tri akɔ, eye wosẽ wu wò! Woɖo gli kɔkɔwo ƒo xlã woƒe duwo.
2 a greet puple, and hiy; the sones of Enachym, whiche thi silf `siest, and herdist, whiche no man may ayenstonde in the contrarie part.
Anak ƒe viwo, ame siwo nye ame dzɔatsuwo, eye dukɔ aɖeke mate ŋu anɔ te ɖe wo nu o la le wo dome.
3 Therfor thou schalt wite to dai, that thi Lord God hym silf schal passe bifor thee; he is a fier deuourynge and wastynge, that schal al to breke hem, and schal do awei, and destrie bifor thi face swiftli, as he spak to thee.
Ke Yehowa, wò Mawu la anɔ ŋgɔ na wò abe dzo si fiaa nu ene be yeatsrɔ̃ wo ale be nàte ŋu aɖu wo dzi kaba, eye nànya wo ɖa le anyigba la dzi.
4 Seie thou not in thin herte, whanne thi Lord God hath do hem awey in thi siyt, For my riytfulnesse the Lord brouyte me yn, that Y schulde welde this lond; sithen these naciouns ben doon awey for her wickidnessis.
“Ne Yehowa miaƒe Mawu wɔ esia na wò la, mègagblɔ na ɖokuiwò be, ‘Yehowae ve nunye, elabena menye ame dzɔdzɔe o.’ Mele nenema o. Dukɔ kemɛwo ƒe vɔ̃ɖivɔ̃ɖi tae Yehowa le esia wɔ ge ɖo.
5 For not for thi riytfulnessis, and equyte of thin herte thou schalt entre that thou welde the lond `of hem; but for thei diden wickidli, thei weren doon awey, whanne thou entridist, and that the Lord schulde fille his word which he bihiyte vndur an ooth to thi fadris, to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
Menye esi mienye ame nyui dzɔdzɔewo tae Yehowa anya wo ɖa le mia ŋgɔ ɖo o! Megale egblɔm na mi be, dukɔ kemɛwo ƒe vɔ̃ɖivɔ̃ɖi tae hekpe ɖe Yehowa miaƒe Mawu ƒe ŋugbe si wòdo na mia fofowo, Abraham, Isak kple Yakob ŋu ta koe.
6 Therfor wite thou that not for thi riytfulnesses thi Lord God yaf to thee this beste lond in to possessioun, sithen thou art a puple of hardeste nol.
Megale egblɔm ake be, Yehowa, miaƒe Mawu la mele anyigba nyui sia tsɔm na mi le miaƒe nyonyo ta o, elabena mienyo o. Mienye dukɔ vɔ̃ɖi kple kɔlialiatɔwo.”
7 Haue thou mynde, and foryete not, hou in the wildirnesse thou terridist thi Lord God to greet wraththe; fro that dai in which thou yedist out of Egipt `til to this place, thou striuedist euere ayens the Lord.
Migaŋlɔ be o, ke boŋ miɖo ŋku ale si miedo dɔmedzoe na Yehowa, miaƒe Mawu la enuenu le gbedzi, tso gbe si gbe miedzo le Egipte va se ɖe fifia dzi. Miedze aglã ɖe eŋu le ɣeyiɣi siawo katã me.
8 For whi also in Oreb thou terridist hym, and he was wrooth, and wolde do thee awei, whanne Y stiede in to the hil,
Mieɖo ŋku ale si miedo dɔmedzoe nɛ le Horeb to la gbɔ dzi oa? Enɔ klalo be yeatsrɔ̃ mi.
9 that Y schulde take two tablis of stoon, the tablis of couenaunt which the Lord made with you, and Y continuede in the hil fourti daies and nyytis, and Y eet not breed, and Y drank not watir.
Menɔ toa dzi ɣe ma ɣi, eye menɔ nubabla si Yehowa wɔ kpli mi, si nye kpe siwo dzi wòŋlɔ seawo ɖo la xɔm. Menɔ afi ma ŋkeke blaene kple zã blaene. Nyemeɖu naneke le ɣeyiɣi ma katã me o. Nyemeno tsi gɔ̃ hã o.
10 And the Lord yaf to me, twey tablis of stoon, euer either wrytun with Goddis fyngur, and conteynynge alle the wordis whiche he spak to you in the hil, fro the myddis of the fier, whanne the cumpany of puple was gaderid togidere.
Yehowa tsɔ kpe kpakpa eve siwo dzi Mawu tsɔ eƒe asibidɛ ŋlɔ nu ɖo la nam. Se siwo katã Yehowa de na mí le toa dzi to dzo me le miaƒe takpegbe la le wo dzi.
11 And whanne fourti daies and so many nyytis hadden passid, the Lord yaf to me twei tablis of stoon, tablis of boond of pees;
Le ŋkeke blaeneawo kple zã blaeneawo ƒe nuwuwu la, Yehowa tsɔ kpe kpakpa eveawo, nubabla ƒe kpe kpakpawo nam.
12 and he seide to me, Rise thou, and go doun for hennys soone, for thi puple, which thou leddist out of Egipt, han forsake swiftli the weie which thou schewidist to hem, and thei han maad to hem a yotun calf.
Egblɔ nam be maɖi yi anyigba kaba, elabena dukɔ si mekplɔ tso Egipte la gblẽ kɔ ɖo na eɖokui; eɖe asi le Mawu ƒe seawo ŋu kaba, eye wòlolõ ga hetsɔ wɔ legbae.
13 And eft the Lord seide to me, `Y se that this puple is of hard nol;
Tete Yehowa gblɔ nam be, “Mekpɔe be dukɔ sia nye ame kɔlialiatɔwo sɔŋ.
14 suffre thou me, that I alto breke hym, and do awey the name `of hym fro vndur heuene; and Y schal ordeyne thee on a folk which is grettere and strongere than this folk.
Ɖe asi le ŋunye matsrɔ̃ wo, matutu woƒe ŋkɔwo ɖa le dziƒoa te, eye mawɔ wò boŋ wò dzidzimeviwo woazu dukɔ si akpɔ ŋusẽ, eye wòalolo wu Israel.”
15 And whanne Y cam doun fro the hil brennynge, and helde with euer either hond twei tablis of boond of pees, and Y seiy,
Metrɔ gbɔ tso to bibi la dzi le esime melé kpe eve siwo dzi Mawu ŋlɔ eƒe seawo ɖo la ɖe asi.
16 that ye hadde synned to youre Lord God, and hadden maad to you a yotun calf, and hadden forsake swiftli the weie of God which he schewide to you,
Le toa te la, mekpɔ nyivi si miewɔ le miaƒe nu vɔ̃ si miewɔ ɖe Yehowa miaƒe Mawu ŋu me. Miegbugbɔ le Yehowa yome kaba ŋutɔ!
17 Y castide doun the tablis fro myn hondis, and brak tho tablis in youre siyt.
Esia ta metsɔ kpe eveawo do ɖe dzi, eye mexlã wo ɖe anyi sesĩe! Megbã wo le mia ŋkume!
18 And Y felde doun bifor the Lord as `biforto, in fourti daies and fourti nyytis, and Y eet not breed, `and drank not watir, for alle youre synnes whiche ye diden ayens the Lord, and terriden hym to `greet wraththe;
Le esia megbe la, meganɔ Yehowa ŋkume ŋkeke blaene kple zã blaene numaɖumaɖu, tsimanomano, elabena miewɔ nu si Yehowa lé fui wu nu sia nu, eye miena wòdo dɔmedzoe vevie ŋutɔ.
19 for Y dredde the indignacioun and yre of hym, by which he was stirid ayens you, and wolde do you awey. And the Lord herde me also in this tyme.
Mevɔ̃ ɖe mia nu ŋutɔŋutɔ, elabena Yehowa ɖo vevie be yeatsrɔ̃ mi. Ke egaɖo tom ɣe ma ɣi hã.
20 Also the Lord was wrooth greteli ayens Aaron, and wolde alto breke hym, and Y preiede in lijk maner for hym.
Aron ɖo xaxa gã aɖe me, elabena Yehowa do dɔmedzoe ɖe eŋu ŋutɔ. Ke medo gbe ɖa, eye Yehowa kpɔ nublanui nɛ.
21 `Forsothe Y took youre synne which ye maden, that is, the calf, and brente it in fier, and Y alto brak in gobetis, and droof outerli in to dust, and castide forth in to the stronde, that cam doun fro the hil.
Metsɔ miaƒe nu vɔ̃ si nye nyivi si miewɔ la, medee dzo me, tui memie wòzu ʋuʋudedi, eye metsɔ ʋuʋudedi la kɔ ɖe tɔʋu si dzɔ tso toa dzi la me.
22 Also in the brennyng, and in the temptacioun at the watris of ayenseiyng, and in the Sepulcris of Coueytise, ye terriden the Lord;
Miegado dɔmedzoe na Yehowa le Tabera, emegbe le Masa, eyome le Kibrot Hatava.
23 and whanne Y sente you fro Cades Barne, and seide, `Stye ye, and welde the lond which Y yaf to you, and ye dispisiden the comaundement of youre Lord God, and ye bileueden not to him, nether ye wolden here his vois;
Le Kades Barnea la, esi Yehowa gblɔ na mi be miage ɖe anyigba si wòtsɔ na mi dzi la, miedze aglã ɖe eŋuti, eye miexɔe se be akpe ɖe mia ŋu o. Miegbe toɖoɖoe.
24 but euere ye weren rebel, fro the day in which Y bigan to knowe you.
Ɛ̃, mienɔ aglã dzem ɖe Yehowa ŋu tso gbe si gbe ke menya mi,
25 And Y lay byfore the Lord fourti daies and fourti nyytis, in whiche Y bisouyte hym mekeli, that he schulde not `do awey you, as he manaasside.
eya ta metsyɔ mo anyi ɖe Yehowa ŋkume ŋkeke blaene kple zã blaene mawo me esime Yehowa di be yeatsrɔ̃ mi.
26 And Y preiede, and seide, Lord God, distrye not thi puple, and thin eritage, which thou `ayen bouytist in thi greetnesse, which thou leddist out of Egipt in strong hond.
“Medo gbe ɖa na Yehowa be, Aƒetɔ Yehowa, mègatsrɔ̃ wò ŋutɔ wò amewo o. Wò ŋutɔ wò domenyinu si nèɖe kple wò ŋusẽ triakɔ, eye nèɖe wo tso Egipte kple asi sesẽ.
27 Haue thou mynde of thi seruauntis, of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; biholde thou not the hardnesse of this puple, and the wickidnesse, and the synne therof,
Ɖo ŋku wò dɔlawo, Abraham, Isak kple Yakob dzi. Mègaɖo ŋku ame siawo ƒe kɔlialia kple woƒe vɔ̃ɖivɔ̃ɖi kple woƒe nu vɔ̃wo dzi o.
28 lest perauenture the dwelleris of the lond, out of which thou leddist vs, seien, The Lord myyte not bryng hem in to the lond which he bihiyte to hem, and he hatide hem; therfor he ledde hem out that he schulde sle hem in wildirnesse;
Ne menye nenema o la, dukɔ si me nèkplɔ mí do go tso la agblɔ be, ‘Esi Yehowa mete ŋu kplɔ wo yi anyigba si ƒe ŋugbe wòdo na wo dzi o, eye esi wòlé fu wo ta la, ekplɔ wo do goe be yeawu wo le gbedzi.’
29 and thei ben thi puple and thin eritage, which thou leddist out in thi greet strengthe, and in thin arm holdun forth.
Wò amewo kple wò domenyilawo wonye, ame siwo nètsɔ wò ŋusẽ triakɔ kple abɔ sesẽ la kplɔ tso Egipte.”
