Deuteronomy 27
1 'And Moses — the elders of Israel also — commandeth the people, saying, Keep all the command which I am commanding you to-day;
Tete Mose kple Israel ƒe ametsitsiwo de se bubu na ameawo be woalé se siwo katã yede na wo egbe la me ɖe asi.
2 and it hath been, in the day that ye pass over the Jordan unto the land which Jehovah thy God is giving to thee, that thou hast raised up for thee great stones, and plaistered them with plaister,
“Ne ètso Yɔdan tɔsisi la, eye nèɖo Ŋugbedodonyigba la dzi la, ɖe kpe gãwo tso tɔsisi la me, eye nàtsɔ wo awɔ ŋkuɖodzikpe enumake ɖe tɔsisi la ƒe akpa kemɛ le Ebal to la gbɔ. Si akalo na kpeawo,
3 and written on them all the words of this law in thy passing over, so that thou goest in unto the land which Jehovah thy God is giving to thee — a land flowing with milk and honey, as Jehovah, God of thy fathers, hath spoken to thee.
eye nàŋlɔ Mawu ƒe seawo katã ɖe kpeawo dzi, gbe si gbe nèɖo tɔ la godo be nàyi anyigba si Yehowa, wò Mawu la le na wò ge la dzi, anyigba si dzi ‘notsi kple anyitsi bɔ ɖo,’ abe ale si Yehowa, fofowòwo ƒe Mawu la do ŋugbee ene.
4 'And it hath been, in your passing over the Jordan, ye raise up these stones which I am commanding you to-day, in mount Ebal, and thou hast plaistered them with plaister,
“Ne ètso Yɔdan tɔsisi la la, ɖo kpe siawo ɖe Ebal to la dzi, abe ale si megblɔ na wò ene, eye nàsi akalo na wo.
5 and built there an altar to Jehovah thy God, an altar of stones, thou dost not wave over them iron.
Tu vɔsamlekpui ɖe afi ma na Yehowa, wò Mawu la kple kpe siwo womefu kple gakpo o.
6 Of complete stones thou buildest the altar of Jehovah thy God, and hast caused to ascend on it burnt-offerings to Jehovah thy God,
Tu vɔsamlekpui la kple kpe siwo womekpa o, eye nàsa numevɔ na Yehowa, wò Mawu la ɖe vɔsamlekpui la dzi.
7 and sacrificed peace-offerings, and eaten there, and rejoiced before Jehovah thy God,
“Sa ŋutifafavɔ hã ɖe edzi, eye nàɖu nu kple dzidzɔ le afi ma le Yehowa wò Mawu ƒe ŋkume.
8 and written on the stones all the words of this law, well engraved.'
Ŋlɔ se siawo katã, ɖe sia ɖe me nakɔ nyuie ɖe ŋkuɖodzikpe sia dzi.”
9 And Moses speaketh — the priests, the Levites, also — unto all Israel, saying, 'Keep silent, and hear, O Israel, this day thou hast become a people to Jehovah thy God;
Mose kple nunɔla siwo nye Levitɔwo gblɔ nya siawo na Israelviwo katã be, “O! Israel, ɖo to! Egbe la, èzu Yehowa, wò Mawu la ƒe dukɔ,
10 and thou hast hearkened to the voice of Jehovah thy God, and done His commands, and His statutes, which I am commanding thee to-day.'
eya ta ele be nàdze se siwo katã mede na wò la dzi wɔwɔ gɔme egbea.”
11 And Moses commandeth the people on that day, saying,
Mose de se siawo na Israelviwo gbe ma gbe ke.
12 'These do stand, to bless the people, on mount Gerizzim, in your passing over the Jordan: Simeon, and Levi, and Judah, and Issachar, and Joseph, and Benjamin.
“Ne mietso Yɔdan tɔsisi la, eye mieɖo ŋugbedodonyigba la dzi la, ame siwo atsi tsitre ɖe Gerizim to la dzi, ayra dukɔ la woe nye Simeon, Levi, Yuda, Isaka, Yosef kple Benyamin ƒe dzidzimeviwo,
