1 “Esi wònye Yehowa, miaƒe Mawu la ƒe amewo mienye ta la, migasi ŋuti na mia ɖokuiwo gbeɖegbeɖe abe ale si trɔ̃subɔlawo wɔna ne wole woƒe legbawo subɔm la ene o. Gawu la, ne ame ku la, mele be mialũ miaƒe ŋgonu kple dzodome o.

Ye are the children of the Lord your God. Ye shall not cut yourselues, nor make you any baldnesse betweene your eyes for the dead.

2 Yehowa, miaƒe Mawu la ɖeɖe ko tɔe mienye. Eyae tia mi be mianye ye tɔ wu dukɔ bubu ɖe sia ɖe le xexea me.

For thou art an holy people vnto ye Lord thy God, and the Lord hath chosen thee to be a precious people vnto himselfe, aboue all the people that are vpon the earth.

3 “Migaɖu nu siwo ŋuti mekɔ o la dometɔ aɖeke o.

Thou shalt eate no maner of abomination.

4 Lã siwo miate ŋu aɖu la woe nye: nyi, alẽ, gbɔ̃,

These are the beastes, which ye shall eate, the beefe, the sheepe, and the goate,

5 zi, sẽ, afiã, gbɔ̃ si le gbe me, avugbɔ̃e kple alẽ si nɔa towo dzi.

The hart, and the roe buck, and the bugle, and the wilde goate, and the vnicorne, and the wilde oxe, and the chamois.

6 Miate ŋu aɖu lã siwo katã ƒe afɔkli me fe, eye wodzɔa nu gaɖuna.

And euery beast that parteth ye hoofe, and cleaueth the clift into two clawes, and is of the beasts that cheweth the cudde, that shall ye eate.

7 Ke lã siwo ƒe afɔkli me fe alo woɖua nu gadzɔna la, migaɖu esiawo ya o, woawoe nye kposɔ, fɔmizi kple xɔfie, elabena togbɔ be wodzɔa nu gaɖuna hã la, woƒe afɔkli me mefe ɖe eve o, eya ta wonye lã makɔmakɔwo.

But these ye shall not eate, of them that chew the cud, and of them that deuide and cleaue the hoofe onely: ye camell, nor the hare, nor the cony: for they chewe the cudde, but deuide not ye hoofe: therefore they shall be vncleane vnto you:

8 Nenema ke, migaɖu ha hã o, elabena togbɔ be eƒe afɔkli me fe hã la, medzɔa nu gaɖuna o. Mele be miaka asi lã siawo ƒe kukuawo gɔ̃ hã ŋu o.

Also the swine, because he deuideth the hoofe, and cheweth not the cud, shalbe vncleane vnto you: ye shall not eate of their flesh, nor touch their dead carkeises.

9 “Tɔmelã siwo ko miekpɔ mɔ aɖu la woe nye esiwo ŋu adza kple tsro le.

These ye shall eate, of all that are in the waters: all that haue finnes and scales shall ye eate.

10 Ke tɔmelã bubuawo katã siwo ŋu tsro kple adza mele o la nye nu makɔmakɔwo; migaɖu wo o.

And whatsoeuer hath no finnes nor scales, ye shall not eate: it shall be vncleane vnto you.

11 Miekpɔ mɔ aɖu xe ɖe sia ɖe si ŋuti kɔ

Of all cleane birdes ye shall eate:

12 negbe hɔ̃, akaga, akpɔ̃,

But these are they, whereof ye shall not eate: the eagle, nor the goshawke, nor the osprey,

13 doɖi, aʋako dzĩtɔ kple yibɔtɔwo, akpaviã ƒomevi vovowo, ayisu ƒomevi ɖe sia ɖe,

Nor the glead nor the kite, nor the vulture, after their kind,

14 akpaviã ƒomevi ɖe sia ɖe,

Nor all kinde of rauens,

15 golo, sagbadre, tsalɛ̃ kple aʋako ƒomevi ɖe sia ɖe,

Nor the ostrich, nor the nightcrow, nor the semeaw, nor the hawke after her kinde,

16 ʋlukuku, favieʋuto kple aŋɔɣi,

Neither the litle owle, nor the great owle, nor the redshanke,

17 aluge, akaga kple tsimese,

Nor the pellicane, nor the swanne, nor the cormorant:

18 damixe kple ako ƒomevi ɖe sia ɖe, agudzixe kple dro.

The storke also, and the heron in his kinde, nor the lapwing, nor the backe.

19 “Nudzodzoewo katã kloe nye nu makɔmakɔwo, eya ta miekpɔ mɔ aɖu wo o.

And euery creeping thing that flieth, shall be vncleane vnto you: it shall not be eaten.

20 Ke miekpɔ mɔ aɖu xe siwo katã ŋu kɔ.

But of all cleane foules ye may eate.

21 “Migaɖu naneke si ku le eɖokui si o, Ke amedzro si le mia dome la ate ŋu aɖui. Miate ŋu atsɔe nɛ alo adzrae nɛ, gake miawo ŋutɔ ya migaɖui o, elabena mienye dukɔ kɔkɔe na Yehowa, miaƒe Mawu la. “Migaɖa gbɔ̃vi le dadaa ƒe notsi me o.”

Ye shall eate of nothing that dieth alone, but thou shalt giue it vnto the stranger that is within thy gates, that he may eate it: or thou maiest sell it vnto a stranger: for thou art an holy people vnto the Lord thy God. Thou shalt not seethe a kid in his mothers milke.

22 “Ele be miana miaƒe agblemenukuwo ƒe ewolia ƒe sia ƒe pɛpɛpɛ.

Thou shalt giue the tithe of all the increase of thy seede, that commeth foorth of the fielde yeere by yeere.

23 Mitsɔ agblemenukuwo ƒe ewolia sia va ɖu le Yehowa, mia Mawu la ŋkume le teƒe si wòatia abe eƒe kɔkɔeƒe ene. Nu siawoe nye miaƒe bli, wain yeye, ami kple miaƒe alẽwo kple nyiwo ƒe ŋgɔgbeviwo. Nu ewolia nana ƒe taɖodzinue nye be, miatsɔ teƒe gbãtɔ na Yehowa, miaƒe Mawu la le miaƒe agbenɔnɔ me.

And thou shalt eate before the Lord thy God (in the place which he shall chose to cause his Name to dwell there) the tithe of thy corne, of thy wine, and of thine oyle, and the first borne of thy kine and of thy sheepe, that thou maiest learne to feare the Lord thy God alway.

24 Ne teƒe si Yehowa miaƒe Mawu tia abe eƒe kɔkɔeƒe ene didi ale gbegbe be manɔ bɔbɔe be miatsɔ miaƒe nuwo ƒe ewolia ayi afi ma ke o la,

And if the way be too long for thee, so that thou art not able to cary it, because the place is farre from thee, where the Lord thy God shall chose to set his Name, when the Lord thy God shall blesse thee,

25 ekema miate ŋu adzra miaƒe agblemenukuwo kple lãwo ƒe ewolia, eye miatsɔ ga la ayi Yehowa miaƒe Mawu ƒe kɔkɔeƒe la.

Then shalt thou make it in money, and take the money in thine hand, and goe vnto the place which the Lord thy God shall chose.

26 Ne mieɖo afi ma la, ekema mitsɔ ga la ƒle nyitsu ɖeka kple alẽ ɖeka, eye miadze wain alo aha sesẽ aɖe, miaɖu nu le afi ma le Yehowa, miaƒe Mawu la ŋkume, eye miatso aseye kple miaƒe aƒemetɔwo.

And thou shalt bestowe the money for whatsoeuer thine heart desireth: whether it be oxe, or sheepe, or wine, or strong drinke, or whatsoeuer thine heart desireth: and shalt eate it there before the Lord thy God, and reioyce, both thou, and thine household.

27 “Migaŋlɔ be, eye miagbe miaƒe ga la ƒe akpa aɖe nana Levitɔ siwo le mia dome o, elabena domenyinu alo agblemenuku aɖeke mele woawo si abe miawo ene o.

And the Leuite that is within thy gates, shalt thou not forsake: for he hath neither part nor inheritance with thee.

28 “Le ƒe etɔ̃lia ɖe sia ɖe me la, ele be miawɔ miaƒe nuwo ƒe ewolia katã ŋu dɔ hena dɔwɔwɔ le miaƒe nutowo me.

At the end of three yeere thou shalt bring foorth all the tithes of thine increase of the same yeere, and lay it vp within thy gates.

29 Mitsɔe na Levitɔwo, ame siwo si domenyinu aɖeke mele le mia dome o alo miatsɔ wo ana amedzro, ahosi alo tsyɔ̃evi siwo le miaƒe du me ale be woaɖu nu aɖi ƒo. Ekema Yehowa, miaƒe Mawu la ayra mi kple miaƒe dɔwɔwɔwo.”

Then ye Leuite shall come, because he hath no part nor inheritance with thee, and the stranger, and the fatherlesse, and the widowe, which are within thy gates, and shall eate, and be filled, that the Lord thy God may blesse thee in al the worke of thine hand which thou doest.
