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 giveth thee a sign or a token,

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

And the sign or the token come to pass, whereof he spoke unto thee, saying, Let us go after other gods, which thou dost not know, 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.

Then shalt thou not hearken unto the words of that prophet, or unto that dreamer of dreams; for the Lord your God proveth you, to know whether ye indeed love the Lord 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.

After the Lord your God shall ye walk, and him shall ye fear, and his commandments shall ye keep, and his voice shall ye obey, and him shall ye serve, and unto him shall ye cleave.

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 hath spoken revolt against the Lord your God, who hath brought you out of the land of Egypt, and who hath redeemed you out of the house of bond-men, to mislead thee front the way which the Lord thy God commanded thee to walk therein; and thou shalt put the evil away 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 [dear to thee] as thy own soul, should entice thee, in secret, saying, Let us go and serve other gods, which thou dost not know, either thou, or 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),

Some of the gods of the nations which are round about you, that are nigh unto thee, or that are far off from thee, from one end of the earth even unto 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.

Then shalt thou not consent unto him, nor shalt thou hearken unto him; nor shall thy eye look with pity on him, nor shalt thou spare, nor shalt thou conceal it for him;

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

But thou shalt surely kill him; thy hand shall be the first upon him to put him to death, and the hand of all the people afterward.

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 shalt stone him with stones, that he die; because he sought to mislead thee from the Lord thy God, who hath brought thee out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bond-men.

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 it, and they shall be afraid, and they shall not do any more such a wicked deed as this is in the midst of thee.

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

If thou shouldst hear concerning one of thy cities, which the Lord thy God hath given 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,

There have gone forth men, children of worthlessness, from the midst of thee, and have misled 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 shalt thou inquire, and make search, and ask diligently; and, behold, if it be true, the thing is certain, such abomination hath been 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.

Then shalt thou smite the inhabitants of that city with the edge of the sword, devoting it utterly, and all that is therein, and the cattle thereof, to 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 all its spoil shalt thou gather into the midst of the market-place thereof, and thou shalt burn with fire the city, and all its spoil entirely, unto the Lord thy God; and it shall be a ruinous heap for ever: 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 there shall not cleave to thy hand aught of the devoted things; in order that the Lord may turn from the fierceness of his anger, and grant thee mercy, and have mercy upon thee, and multiply thee, as he hath sworn unto 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 wilt hearken to the voice of the Lord thy God, to keep all his commandments which I command thee this day, to do what is right in the eyes of the Lord thy God.
