Mose 5 11

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

Therefore thou shalt love the LORD thy God, and keep his charge, and his statutes, and his judgments, 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.

And know ye this day: for I speak not with your children who have not known, and who have not seen the chastisement of the LORD 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 miracles, and his acts, 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 the LORD hath 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 ye 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 her mouth, and swallowed them up, and their households, and their tents, and all the substance that was in their possession, 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 acts of the LORD 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 shall ye keep all the commandments which I command you this day, that ye may be strong, and go in and possess the land, where ye go 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 ye may prolong your days in the land, which the LORD swore to your fathers to give to them and to their seed, a land that floweth 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 thou goest in to possess it, is not as the land of Egypt, from which ye came out, where thou didst sow thy seed, and water it with thy foot, 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 ye go to possess it, is a land of hills and valleys, and drinketh water of the rain of heaven:

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 the LORD thy God careth for: the eyes of the LORD thy God are always upon 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,

And it shall come to pass, if ye shall hearken diligently to my commandments which I command you this day, to love the LORD 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 you the rain of your land in its due season, the former rain and the latter rain, that thou mayest gather in thy grain, and thy wine, and thy oil.

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

And I will give grass in thy fields for thy cattle, that thou mayest eat and be full.

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

Take heed to yourselves, that your heart be not deceived, and ye 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 then the LORD’S wrath shall be kindled against you, and he shall shut up the heaven, that there shall be no rain, and the land shall not yield its fruit; and lest ye perish quickly from off the good land which the LORD giveth 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 shall ye lay up these my words in your heart and in your soul, and bind them for a sign upon your hand, that they may be as frontlets 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!

And ye shall teach them to your children, speaking of them when thou sittest in thy house, and when thou walkest by the way, when thou liest down, and when thou risest up.

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

And thou shalt write them upon the door posts of thy house, and upon thy 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 the LORD swore to your fathers to give to them, as the days of heaven upon 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 ye shall diligently keep all these commandments which I command you, to do them, to love the LORD your God, to walk in all his ways, and to cleave 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 the LORD drive out all these nations from before you, and ye shall possess greater nations 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 on which the soles of your feet shall tread shall be yours: from the wilderness and Lebanon, from the river, the river Euphrates, even to the uttermost sea shall your border be.

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.

There shall no man be able to stand before you: for the LORD your God shall lay the fear of you and the dread of you upon all the land that ye shall tread upon, as he hath said to you.

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

Behold, 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,

A blessing, if ye obey the commandments of the LORD 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 a curse, if ye will not obey the commandments of the LORD your God, but turn aside from the way which I command you this day, to go after other gods, which ye 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!

And it shall come to pass, when the LORD thy God hath brought thee in to the land where thou goest to possess it, that thou shalt put the blessing upon mount Gerizim, and the curse upon 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.

Are they not on the other side of Jordan, by the way where the sun goeth down, in the land of the Canaanites, who dwell in the plain opposite Gilgal, beside the plains of Moreh?

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

For ye shall pass over Jordan to go in to possess the land which the LORD your God giveth you, and ye shall possess it, and dwell in it.

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

And ye shall observe to do all the statutes and judgments which I set before you this day.
