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 arises among you a prophet or a dreamer of dreams, and if he gives you a sign or a wonder,

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

and if the sign or the wonder comes about, of which he spoke to you and said, 'Let us go after other gods, that you have not known, and let us worship 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.

do not listen to the words of that prophet, or to that dreamer of dreams; for Yahweh your God is testing you to know whether you love Yahweh 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.

You will walk after Yahweh your God, honor him, keep his commandments, and obey his voice, and you will worship 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.

That prophet or that dreamer of dreams will be put to death, because he has spoken rebellion against Yahweh your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, and who redeemed you out of the house of bondage. That prophet wants to draw you out of the way in which Yahweh your God commanded you to walk. So put away the evil from among you.

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,

Suppose that your brother, the son of your mother, or your son, or your daughter, or the wife of your bosom, or your friend who is to you like your own soul, secretly entices you and says, 'Let us go and worship other gods that you have not known, neither you nor your ancestors—

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),

any of the gods of the peoples that are round about you, near to you, or far off from you, from the one end of the earth 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.

You must not give in to him or listen to him, and you must not permit your eye to pity him, and you must not spare him or conceal him.

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

Instead, you will surely kill him; your hand will be the first on 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.

You will stone him to death with stones, because he has tried to draw you away from Yahweh your God, who brought you 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.

All Israel will hear and fear, and will not continue to do this kind of wickedness among you.

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

If you hear anyone say about one of your cities, that Yahweh your God gives you to live in:

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

Some wicked fellows have gone out from among you and have drawn away the inhabitants of their city and said, 'Let us go and worship other gods that you have not known.'

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

Then you will examine the evidence, make search, and investigate it thoroughly. When you discover that it is true and certain that such an abominable thing has been done among you, then you will take action.

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

You will surely attack the inhabitants of that city with the edge of the sword, completely destroy it and all the people who are in it, along with its livestock, 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.

You will gather all the spoil from it into the middle of its street and will burn the city, as well as all its spoil—for Yahweh your God. The city will be a heap of ruins forever; it must never 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.

None of those things set apart for destruction must stick in your hand. This must be the case, so that Yahweh will turn from the fierceness of his anger, show you mercy, have compassion on you, and make you increase in numbers, as he has sworn to your 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.”

He will do this because you are listening to the voice of Yahweh your God, to keep all his commandments that I am commanding you today, to do that which is right in the eyes of Yahweh your God.
