< Mose 5 10 >
1 “Yehowa gblɔ nam ɣe ma ɣi be makpa kpe eve bubu abe gbãtɔwo ene, matsɔ ati akpa aɖaka aɖe si me woatsɔ kpe eveawo adzra ɖo la, eye matrɔ ava ye, Mawu gbɔ le toa dzi.
At that time the Lord said to me: Hew thee two tables of stone like the former, and come up to me into the mount: and thou shalt make an ark of mood,
2 Egblɔ nam be yeagbugbɔ se siwo tututu yeŋlɔ ɖe kpe siwo megbã dzi la aŋlɔ ɖe kpe yeyeawo dzi, eye matsɔ wo ade Aɖaka la me.
And I will write on the tables the words that were in them, which thou brokest before, and thou shalt put them in the ark.
3 Ale metsɔ akasiati wɔ Aɖaka la. Mekpa kpe eve abe gbãtɔwo ene hetsɔ wo yi na Yehowa le to la dzi.
And I made an ark of setim wood And when I had hewn two tables of stone like the former, I went up into the mount, having them in my hands.
4 Egaŋlɔ Se Ewoawo ɖe wo dzi tsɔ nam. Wonye se siwo tututu wònam tso dzo bibi la ƒe titina le toa dzi le mi katã ŋkume le to la te.
And he wrote in the tables, according as he had written before, the ten words, which the Lord spoke to you in the mount from the midst of the fire, when the people were assembled: and he gave them to me.
5 Meɖi eye metsɔ kpe eveawo de Aɖaka si mekpa la me. Wole afi ma va se ɖe egbe abe ale si Yehowa ɖo nam ene.
And returning from the mount, I came down, and put the tables into the ark, that I had made, and they are there till this present, as the Lord commanded me.
6 “Le esia megbe la, Israelviwo zɔ mɔ tso Bene Yaakan yi Mosera afi si Aron ku, eye woɖii ɖo. Aron ƒe viŋutsu Eleaza zu nunɔla ɖe eteƒe.
And the children of Israel removed their camp from Beroth of the children of Jacan into Mosera, where Aaron died and was buried, and Eleazar his son succeeded him in the priestly office.
7 “Wozɔ mɔ yi Gudgoda heyi Yotbata, afi si tsi bɔ ɖo.
From thence they came to Gadgad, from which place they departed, and camped in Jetebatha, in a land of waters and torrents.
8 Afi mae Yehowa ɖe Levi ƒe viwo ɖe aga le be woakɔ nubablaɖaka si me Yehowa ƒe Se Ewoawo le, eye woanɔ tsitre ɖe Yehowa ŋkume awɔ Yehowa ƒe dɔ, ade bubu eƒe ŋkɔ ŋu abe ale si wowɔna egbe ene.
At that time he separated the tribe of Levi, to carry the ark of the covenant of the Lord, and to stand before him in the ministry, and to bless in his name until this present day.
9 Eya ta womena anyigba Levitɔwo le Ŋugbedodonyigba la dzi abe ale si wona wo nɔvi to bubu me tɔwo ene o, elabena Yehowa, miaƒe Mawu gblɔ na wo be ye ŋutɔe nye woƒe domenyinu.
Wherefore Levi hath no part nor possession with his brethren: because the Lord himself is his possession, as the Lord thy God promised him.
10 Abe ale si megblɔ do ŋgɔe ene la, menɔ to la dzi le Yehowa ŋkume zi evelia ŋkeke blaene kple zã blaene, abe ale si mewɔ zi gbãtɔ ene. Yehowa ɖo to nye kokoƒoƒo, eye metsrɔ̃ mi o.
And I stood in the mount, as before, forty days and nights: and the Lord heard me this time also, and would not destroy thee.
11 “Ke egblɔ nam be, ‘Tso, nàkplɔ ameawo yi anyigba si ŋugbe medo na wo fofowo la dzi. Ɣeyiɣi la de be woayi aɖaxɔe!’”
And he said to me: Go, and walk before the people, that they may enter, and possess the land, which I swore to their fathers that I would give them.
12 “Azɔ, Israel, nu ka Yehowa, wò Mawu la di tso asiwò wu be nàvɔ̃ Yehowa, wò Mawu la, nàzɔ le eƒe mɔwo katã dzi, nàlɔ̃e, eye nàsubɔe kple wò dzi blibo kple wò luʋɔ blibo,
And now, Israel, what doth the Lord thy God require of thee, but that thou fear the Lord thy God, and walk in his ways, and love him, and serve the Lord thy God, with all thy heart, and with all thy soul:
13 eye nàwɔ ɖe Yehowa ƒe sewo kple ɖoɖo siwo katã mena mi egbe la dzi ale be wòanyo na wò?
And keep the commandments of the Lord, and his ceremonies, which I command thee this day, that it may be well with thee?
14 Kpɔ ɖa, anyigba kple dziƒo ƒe kɔkɔƒe kekeake nye Yehowa, wò Mawu la tɔ.
Behold heaven is the Lord’s thy God, and the heaven of heaven, the earth and all things that are therein.
15 Ke mia fofowo ƒe nu nyo eŋu, eye wòlɔ̃ wo ale gbegbe be wòtia mi, wo viwo, be miaƒo dukɔwo katã ta abe ale si wòle dzedzem egbe ene,
And yet the Lord hath been closely joined to thy fathers, and loved them and chose their seed after them, that is to say, you, out of all nations, as this day it is proved.
16 eya ta mikɔ miaƒe nu vɔ̃ dziwo ŋu, eye miadzudzɔ kɔlialiatɔwo ƒe agbenɔnɔ.
Circumcise therefore the foreskin of your heart, and stiffen your neck no more.
17 “Yehowa, miaƒe Mawu lae nye mawuwo dzi Mawu gã, ŋusẽtɔ la, Mawu si ŋu ŋɔdzi le, ame si medea ame aɖeke dzi o, eye mexɔa zãnu hã o.
Because the Lord your God he is the God of gods, and the Lord of lords, a great God and mighty and terrible, a who accepteth no person nor taketh bribes.
18 Ewɔa nu dzɔdzɔe na tsyɔ̃eviwo kple ahosiwo. Elɔ̃a amedzrowo, eye wònaa nuɖuɖu kple nutata wo.
He doth judgment to the fatherless and the widow, loveth the stranger, and giveth him food and raiment.
19 Ele be miawo hã mialɔ̃ amedzrowo, elabena miawo hã mienye amedzrowo le Egiptenyigba dzi kpɔ.
And do you therefore love strangers, because you also were strangers in the land of Egypt.
20 Ele be miavɔ̃ Yehowa, miaƒe Mawu la, miasubɔe anukwaretɔe, mialé ɖe eŋu, eye miaka atam ɖe eya ɖeɖe ko ƒe ŋkɔ dzi.
Thou shalt fear the Lord thy God, and serve him only: to him thou shalt adhere, and shalt swear by his name.
21 Eyae nye wò kafukafu, eye wòganye wò Mawu, ame si wɔ nukunu gã siwo teƒe miawo ŋutɔ miekpɔ.
He is thy praise, and thy God, that hath done for thee these great and terrible things, which thy eyes have seen.
22 Mia fofowo dometɔ ame blaadre koe yi Egipte, gake azɔ la, Yehowa, miaƒe Mawu la wɔ mi miedzi sɔ gbɔ abe ɣletiviwo le dziŋgɔli me ene!”
In seventy souls thy fathers went down into Egypt: and behold now the Lord thy God hath multiplied thee as the stars of heaven.
