Mose 5 11

1 “Ele be nàlɔ̃ Yehowa, wò Mawu la, eye nàwɔ eƒe sewo katã dzi.

Therefore you shall love YHWH your God, and keep his instructions, and his statutes, and his ordinances, and his commandments, always.

2 Miɖo to! Nyemele nu ƒom fifia na mia viwo, ame siwo mekpɔ eƒe tohehe na Egiptetɔwo alo eƒe gãnyenye kple ŋusẽ teƒe kpɔ o.

Know this day: for I do not speak with your children who have not known, and who have not seen the chastisement of YHWH your God, his greatness, his mighty hand, and his outstretched arm,

3 Womenɔ afi ma kpɔ nukunu siwo wòwɔ le Egipte ɖe Farao kple eƒe anyigba blibo la ŋu o.

and his signs, and his works, which he did in the midst of Egypt to Pharaoh the king of Egypt, and to all his land;

4 Womekpɔ nu si Mawu wɔ Egiptetɔwo ƒe aʋakɔwo, woƒe sɔwo kple tasiaɖamwo, ale si wònyrɔ wo ɖe Ƒu Dzĩ la me esi wodze mia yome kple ale si Yehowa na woƒe ŋusẽ ɖe mia ŋu nu ku va se ɖe egbeŋkeke sia dzi o!

and what he did to the army of Egypt, to their horses, and to their chariots; how he made the water of the Red Sea to overflow them as they pursued after you, and how YHWH has destroyed them to this day;

5 Womekpɔ ale si Yehowa kpɔ mia dzi ɣe sia ɣi le ƒe siwo katã me mienɔ tsaglalã tsam le gbedzi va se ɖe esime mieɖo afi sia o.

and what he did to you in the wilderness, until you came to this place;

6 Womenɔ afi ma esime Datan kple Abiram, Eliab ƒe viŋutsuwo kple Ruben ƒe dzidzimeviwo wɔ nu vɔ̃, eye anyigba ke nu mi wo, woƒe aƒemetɔwo, agbadɔwo kple woƒe nuwo katã le Israelviwo katã ŋkume o!

and what he did to Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab, the son of Reuben; how the earth opened its mouth, and swallowed them up, and their households, and their tents, and every living thing that followed them, in the midst of all Israel:

7 “Ke miawo la, miekpɔ Yehowa ƒe nukunu gã siawo teƒe,

but your eyes have seen all the great work of YHWH which he did.

8 eya ta wòle be miawɔ se siwo mele mia nam egbe la dzi pɛpɛpɛ ale be miate ŋu akpɔ ŋusẽ be miayi anyigba si dzi miele gege ge ɖo fifia, eye miaxɔe.

Therefore you shall keep every commandment which I command you this day, that you may be strong, and multiply, and go in and possess the land, where you go over to possess it;

9 Ne miewɔ seawo dzi la, mianɔ agbe didi, eye wòadze edzi na mi le anyigba si ŋugbe Yehowa do na mia fofowo kple miawo kple miaƒe dzidzimeviwo la dzi. Anyigba la nye anyigba wɔnuku aɖe si dzi ‘notsi kple anyitsi bɔ ɖo!’

and that you may prolong your days in the land, which YHWH swore to your fathers to give to them and to their descendants, a land flowing with milk and honey.

10 Anyigba si dzi miage ɖo, eye miaxɔ la, mele abe Egiptenyigba, afi si mietso, afi si wòhiã le be miadze tɔʋu suewo ɖe miaƒe agblewo me, ana tsi nato wo me hena miaƒe agblemenukuwo ƒe wɔwɔ ene o.

For the land, where you go in to possess it, isn't as the land of Egypt, that you came out from, where you sowed your seed, and watered it with your feet, as a garden of herbs;

11 Anyigba nyui aɖe si dzi towo kple balimewo le, eye tsi dzana le nyuie la wònye,

but the land, where you go over to possess it, is a land of hills and valleys which drinks water of the rain of the sky,

12 anyigba si Yehowa, miaƒe Mawu la ŋutɔ léa be na, eye eƒe ŋku le anyigba la ŋu ɣe sia ɣi tso ŋkeke yi ŋkeke le ƒe blibo la me!

a land which YHWH your God cares for: the eyes of YHWH your God are always on it, from the beginning of the year even to the end of the year.

13 “Ne miawɔ ɖe Yehowa ƒe se siwo katã mele mia na ge egbe la dzi pɛpɛpɛ, eye ne mialɔ̃ Yehowa, miaƒe Mawu la kple miaƒe dzi blibo kple miaƒe luʋɔ blibo, eye miasubɔe la,

It shall happen, if you shall listen diligently to my commandments which I command you this day, to love YHWH your God, and to serve him with all your heart and with all your soul,

14 ekema agana adametsi kple kelemetsi nadza na mi ale be miate ŋu akpɔ bli fũu kple waintsetse geɖewo kple ami sɔ gbɔ.

that I will give the rain of your land in its season, the former rain and the latter rain, that you may gather in your grain, and your new wine, and your oil.

15 Ana lãnyiƒe damawo mi hena miaƒe lãwo, eye miawo ŋutɔ miakpɔ nu aɖu, aɖi ƒo nyuie.

I will give grass in your fields for your livestock, and you shall eat and be full.

16 “Ke mikpɔ nyuie be miaƒe dzi nagatrɔ le Yehowa yome be miasubɔ mawu bubuwo o.

Be careful, lest your heart be deceived, and you turn aside, and serve other gods, and worship them;

17 Ne miesubɔ mawu bubuwo la, Yehowa ƒe dɔmedzoe abi ɖe mia ŋu, eye wòatu dziƒo nu ale be tsi magadza o, eye agblemenukuwo mawɔ o. Ekema miatsrɔ̃ enumake le anyigba nyui si Yehowa na mi la dzi,

and the anger of YHWH be kindled against you, and he shut up the sky, so that there shall be no rain, and the land shall not yield its fruit; and you perish quickly from off the good land which YHWH gives you.

18 eya ta milé se siawo ɖe ta me. Mibla wo ɖe miaƒe asiwo ŋu ale be woanɔ ŋku dzi na mi, eye miawɔ wo dzi. Mibla wo ɖe miaƒe ŋgonu le miaƒe ŋkuwo dome.

Therefore you shall lay up these my words in your heart and in your soul; and you shall bind them for a sign on your hand, and they shall be for symbols between your eyes.

19 Mifia wo mia viwo; miƒo nu na wo tso wo ŋu ne miele aƒe me, ne miele tsa ɖim, le anyimlɔɣi kple do ŋgɔ na ŋdinuɖuɖu!

You shall teach them your children, talking of them, when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise up.

20 Miŋlɔ wo ɖe miaƒe ʋɔtrutiwo ŋu le miaƒe aƒewo me kple miaƒe agbowo ŋu,

You shall write them on the door posts of your house, and on your gates;

21 ale be zi ale si dziŋgɔli anɔ anyi le mia tame ko la, mi kple mia viwo miakpɔ gome le agbe vivi si le mia lalam le anyigba si ŋugbe Yehowa do na mia fofowo la dzi.

that your days may be multiplied, and the days of your children, in the land which YHWH swore to your fathers to give them, as the days of the heavens above the earth.

22 “Ne miewɔ ɖe se siwo katã mede na mi dzi pɛpɛpɛ, ne mielɔ̃ Yehowa, miaƒe Mawu la, ne miezɔ ɖe eƒe ɖoɖowo katã dzi, eye mielé ɖe eŋu la,

For if you shall diligently keep all this commandment which I command you to do, to love YHWH your God, to walk in all his ways, and to cling to him;

23 ekema Yehowa anya dukɔwo katã ɖa le mia ŋgɔ, aleke gbegbe woasɔ gbɔ wu mi, eye woasẽ wu mi hã!

then will YHWH drive out all these nations from before you, and you shall dispossess nations greater and mightier than yourselves.

24 Afi sia afi si miaɖo afɔe la, anyigba la anye mia tɔ. Miaƒe liƒowo akeke tso Negeb ƒe anyigbeme ayi Lebanon, agatso Frat tɔsisi la ŋu, ayi Domeƒu la ŋu.

Every place whereon the sole of your foot shall tread shall be yours: from the wilderness, and Lebanon, from the river, the river Perath, even to the western sea shall be your border.

25 Ame aɖeke mate ŋu anɔ te ɖe mia nu o, elabena Yehowa, miaƒe Mawu la ade vɔvɔ̃ ameawo me ɖe mia ŋu do ŋgɔ na mi, afi sia afi si miayi abe ale si wòdo ŋugbe na mi ene tututu.

No man shall be able to stand before you: YHWH your God shall lay the fear of you and the dread of you on all the land that you shall tread on, as he has spoken to you.

26 “Kpɔ ɖa, metsɔ yayra kple fiƒode le mia ŋkume ɖom egbea be miatia.

Look, I set before you this day a blessing and a curse:

27 Miaxɔ yayra ne miewɔ Yehowa, miaƒe Mawu la ƒe se siwo metsɔ le mia nam egbe la dzi,

the blessing, if you shall listen to the commandments of YHWH your God, which I command you this day;

28 ke fiƒode ava mia dzi ne miegbe seawo dzi wɔwɔ, eye miesubɔ dukɔ bubu siawo ƒe mawuwo.

and the curse, if you shall not listen to the commandments of YHWH your God, but turn aside out of the way which I command you this day, to go after other gods, which you have not known.

29 Ne Yehowa, miaƒe Mawu la kplɔ mi yi anyigba la dzi be miaxɔe la, ekema woaɖe gbeƒã yayra le Gerizim to dzi, eye woaɖe gbeƒã fiƒode le Ebal to dzi!

It shall happen, when YHWH your God shall bring you into the land where you go to possess it, that you shall set the blessing on Mount Gerizim, and the curse on Mount Ebal.

30 Gerizim kple Ebal wonye towo le Yɔdan tɔsisi la ƒe ɣetoɖoƒe lɔƒo, afi si Kanaantɔwo le, le gbegbe si te ɖe Gilgal ŋu, afi si More ƒe ati gãwo le.

Aren't they beyond the Jordan, behind the way of the going down of the sun, in the land of the Canaanites who dwell in the Arabah, over against Gilgal, beside the oaks of Moreh?

31 Mitso Yɔdan tɔsisi la, eye mianɔ anyigba si Yehowa, miaƒe Mawu le mia nam la dzi.

For you are to pass over the Jordan to go in to possess the land which YHWH your God gives you, and you shall possess it, and dwell in it.

32 Ke ele na mi be miawɔ ɖe se siwo katã mele mia nam egbea la dzi.”

You shall observe to do all the statutes and the ordinances which I set before you this day.
