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 Adonai said to me, “Cut two stone tablets like the first, and come up to me onto the mountain, and make an ark of wood.
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.
I will write on the tables the words that were on the first tables which you broke, and you shall 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.
So I made an ark of acacia wood, and cut two stone tablets like the first, and went up onto the mountain, having the two tables in my hand.
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.
He wrote on the tables, according to the first writing, the Ten Words, which Adonai spoke to you on the mountain out of the middle of the fire in the day of the assembly: and Adonai 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.
I turned and came down from the mountain, and put the tables in the ark which I had made; and there they are as Adonai enjoined 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.
(The children of Israel [God prevails] traveled from Beeroth Bene Jaakan to Moserah. There Aaron [Light-bringer] died, and there he was buried; and Eleazar [Help of God] his son ministered in the priest’s office in his place.
7 “Wozɔ mɔ yi Gudgoda heyi Yotbata, afi si tsi bɔ ɖo.
From there they traveled to Gudgodah; and from Gudgodah to Jotbathah, a land of brooks of water.
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 Adonai set apart the tribe of Levi [United with], to bear the ark of Adonai’s covenant, to stand before Adonai to minister to him, and to bless in his name, to this 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.
Therefore Levi [United with] has no portion nor inheritance with his brothers; Adonai is his inheritance, according as Adonai your God spoke to 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.
I stayed on the mountain, as at the first time, forty days and forty nights: and Adonai sh'ma ·heard obeyed· me that time also; Adonai would not destroy you.
11 “Ke egblɔ nam be, ‘Tso, nàkplɔ ameawo yi anyigba si ŋugbe medo na wo fofowo la dzi. Ɣeyiɣi la de be woayi aɖaxɔe!’”
Adonai said to me, “Arise, take your journey before the people; and they shall go in and possess the land, which I swore to their fathers to give to 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,
Now, Israel [God prevails], what does Adonai your God require of you, but to fear Adonai your God, to walk in all his ways, and to 'ahav ·affectionately love· him, and to abad ·serve· Adonai your God with all your heart and with all your soul,
13 eye nàwɔ ɖe Yehowa ƒe sewo kple ɖoɖo siwo katã mena mi egbe la dzi ale be wòanyo na wò?
to keep Adonai’s mitzvot ·instructions· and statutes, which I enjoin you today for your good?
14 Kpɔ ɖa, anyigba kple dziƒo ƒe kɔkɔƒe kekeake nye Yehowa, wò Mawu la tɔ.
Behold, to Adonai your God belongs heaven and the heaven of heavens, the earth, with all that is 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,
Only Adonai had chasak ·to set one’s affection· for your fathers to 'ahav ·affectionately love· them, and he chose their offspring after them, even you above all peoples, as it is today.
16 eya ta mikɔ miaƒe nu vɔ̃ dziwo ŋu, eye miadzudzɔ kɔlialiatɔwo ƒe agbenɔnɔ.
Circumcise therefore the foreskin of your heart, and be no more stiff-necked.
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.
For Adonai your God, he is Elohei of the elohim ·God of the deities·, and the 'adonei of the adoneim ·the Lord of the lords·, the great God, the mighty, and the awesome, who does not respect persons, nor takes reward.
18 Ewɔa nu dzɔdzɔe na tsyɔ̃eviwo kple ahosiwo. Elɔ̃a amedzrowo, eye wònaa nuɖuɖu kple nutata wo.
He does execute right judgments for the orphan and widow, and 'ahav ·affectionately loves· the foreigner, in giving him food and clothing.
19 Ele be miawo hã mialɔ̃ amedzrowo, elabena miawo hã mienye amedzrowo le Egiptenyigba dzi kpɔ.
Therefore 'ahav ·affectionately love· the foreigner; for you were foreigners in the land of Egypt [Abode of slavery].
20 Ele be miavɔ̃ Yehowa, miaƒe Mawu la, miasubɔe anukwaretɔe, mialé ɖe eŋu, eye miaka atam ɖe eya ɖeɖe ko ƒe ŋkɔ dzi.
You shall fear Adonai your God; you shall abad ·serve· him; and you shall dabak ·cling to, worship· him, and you shall 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 your tehilah ·praise song·, and he is your God, who has done for you these great and awesome things, which your 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!”
Your fathers went down into Egypt [Abode of slavery] with seventy persons; and now Adonai your God has made you as the stars of the sky for multitude.
