Mose 5 13

1 “Ne nyagblɔɖila aɖe le mia dome alo ame si gblɔna be yeate ŋu anya nu si le dzɔdzɔ ge to drɔ̃ekuku me,

If there arise in the midst of thee a prophet, or a dreamer of dreams, and he gives thee a sign or a wonder,

2 ne eƒe nyagblɔɖiwo vaa eme, gake wògblɔna be, ‘Miva, mina míasubɔ dukɔ bubuawo ƒe mawuwo’ la,

and the sign or the wonder comes to pass, of which he spoke to thee, saying, Let us go after other gods, which thou have not known, and let us serve them,

3 migaɖo to eƒe nya o. Yehowa miaƒe Mawu le mia dome be yeanya ne mielɔ̃ ye le nyateƒe me kple miaƒe dzi blibo kple luʋɔ blibo loo alo mielɔ̃e o.

thou shall not hearken to the words of that prophet, or to that dreamer of dreams, for Jehovah your God proves you, to know whether ye love Jehovah your God with all your heart and with all your soul.

4 Migasubɔ mawu bubu aɖeke gbeɖegbeɖe o. Misubɔ Yehowa miaƒe Mawu ko. Miwɔ ɖe eya ko ƒe sewo dzi, eye mialé ɖe eŋu.

Ye shall walk after Jehovah your God, and fear him, and keep his commandments, and obey his voice, and ye shall serve him, and cling to him.

5 “Ele be woawu nyagblɔɖila alo drɔ̃ekula si dina be yeakplɔ mi atrae, elabena edina be yeana miadze aglã ɖe Yehowa, miaƒe Mawu, ame si kplɔ mi tso kluvinyenye me le Egiptenyigba dzi la ŋu. Ne miewui la, miaɖe nu vɔ̃ ɖa le mia dome.

And that prophet, or that dreamer of dreams, shall be put to death, because he has spoken rebellion against Jehovah your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, and redeemed thee out of the house of bondage, to draw thee aside out of the way which Jehovah thy God commanded thee to walk in. So shall thou put away the evil from the midst of thee.

6 Ne nɔviwò ŋutsu, viwò ŋutsu, viwò nyɔnu, srɔ̃wò lɔlɔ̃a, alo xɔwò vevitɔ kekeake si le abe wò ŋutɔ wò luʋɔ ene agblɔ na wò le adzame be, ‘Na míayi aɖasubɔ mawu bubuwo (mawu siwo miawo ŋutɔ kple mia fofowo mienya o,

If thy brother, the son of thy mother, or thy son, or thy daughter, or the wife of thy bosom, or thy friend, who is as thine own soul, entices thee secretly, saying, Let us go and serve other gods, which thou have not known, thou, nor thy fathers,

7 dukɔ siwo ƒo xlã mi ƒe mawuwo, mawu siwo te ɖe mia ŋu alo le adzɔge ʋĩi, tso anyigba ƒe seƒe ɖeka yi eƒe seƒe bubu’ la),

of the gods of the peoples that are round about you, near to thee, or far off from thee, from the one end of the earth even to the other end of the earth,

8 migalɔ̃ o, eye migakpɔ nublanui nɛ hã o. Migaɖee tso to si woahe nɛ la me o, eye migaɣla nya vɔ̃ɖi si wògblɔ na mi la hã o.

thou shall not consent to him, nor hearken to him. Neither shall thine eye pity him, neither shall thou spare, neither shall thou conceal him,

9 Miwui! Nànye ame gbãtɔ si atso ɖe ewuwu ŋu, eye ame bubuawo katã ƒe asi akpe ɖe ŋuwò.

but thou shall surely kill him. Thy hand shall be first upon him to put him to death, and afterwards the hand of all the people.

10 Miƒu kpee wòaku, elabena edze agbagba be yeahe mi ɖa tso Yehowa, mia Mawu, ame si kplɔ mi tso kluvinyenye me le Egipte la gbɔ.

And thou shall stone him to death with stones, because he has sought to draw thee away from Jehovah thy God, who brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.

11 Ekema Israel katã asee, eye woavɔ̃, eye ame aɖeke maganɔ mia dome si awɔ nu vɔ̃ɖi sia tɔgbi ake o.

And all Israel shall hear, and fear, and shall no more do any such wickedness as this is in the midst of thee.

12 “Ne miele du siwo Yehowa miaƒe Mawu na mi me, eye miese

If thou shall hear tell concerning one of thy cities, which Jehovah thy God gives thee to dwell there, saying,

13 be yakame aɖewo tso miaƒe dukɔ me kplɔ miaƒe dumetɔ aɖewo trae be, ‘Woasubɔ mawu siwo miesubɔ kpɔ o’ la,

Certain base fellows have gone out from the midst of thee, and have drawn away the inhabitants of their city, saying, Let us go and serve other gods, which ye have not known,

14 miku nya la gɔme nyuie. Ne enye nyateƒe be nu vɔ̃ɖi sia va eme la,

then thou shall inquire, and make search, and ask diligently. And, behold, if it be true, and the thing certain, that such abomination is wrought in the midst of thee,

15 ekema ele be miaho aʋa ɖe du ma ŋu. Miwu dua me tɔwo kple lãwo katã hã. Migbã du la gudugudu.

thou shall surely smite the inhabitants of that city with the edge of the sword, destroying it utterly, and all that is in it, and the cattle in it, with the edge of the sword.

16 Le esia megbe la, ele be miaƒo woƒe nuwo katã nu ƒu ɖe ablɔ ƒe titina, eye miatɔ dzo wo. Emegbe la, miatɔ dzo du blibo la abe numevɔsa na Yehowa miaƒe Mawu, mìaƒe Mawu la ene. Mina du ma teƒe natsi anyi nenema: migana woagbugbɔe atu o.

And thou shall gather all the spoil of it into the midst of the street of it, and shall burn the city with fire, and all the spoil of it, every whit, to Jehovah thy God, and it shall be a heap forever. It shall not be built again.

17 Migatsɔ woƒe nuwo dometɔ aɖeke na mia ɖokuiwo o! Ekema Yehowa miaƒe Mawu aɖe asi le eƒe dɔmedzoe helĩhelĩ la ŋu, akpɔ nublanui na mi, eye wòawɔ mi dukɔ gã aɖe abe ale si wòdo ŋugbe na mia tɔgbuiwo ene.

And nothing of the devoted thing shall cling to thy hand, that Jehovah may turn from the fierceness of his anger, and show thee mercy, and have compassion upon thee, and multiply thee, as he has sworn to thy fathers,

18 Nu si ko ana Yehowa miaƒe Mawu la nakpɔ nublanui na mi lae nye, ne mieɖo toe, ne miewɔ ɖe eƒe se siwo mele dedem na mi egbe la dzi, eye ne miewɔ nu si nye nu dzɔdzɔe le Yehowa miaƒe Mawu ŋkume.”

when thou shall hearken to the voice of Jehovah thy God, to keep all his commandments which I command thee this day, to do that which is right in the eyes of Jehovah thy God.
