Mose 5 14
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.
You are the people of Yahweh your God. Do not cut yourselves, nor shave any part of your face 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 you are a nation that is set apart to Yahweh your God, and Yahweh has chosen you to be a people for his own possession, more than all peoples that are on the surface of the earth.
3 “Migaɖu nu siwo ŋuti mekɔ o la dometɔ aɖeke o.
You must not eat any abominable thing.
4 Lã siwo miate ŋu aɖu la woe nye: nyi, alẽ, gbɔ̃,
These are the animals that you may eat: the ox, the sheep, and the goat,
5 zi, sẽ, afiã, gbɔ̃ si le gbe me, avugbɔ̃e kple alẽ si nɔa towo dzi.
the deer, the gazelle, the roebuck, the wild goat, and ibex, and the antelope, and the mountain sheep.
6 Miate ŋu aɖu lã siwo katã ƒe afɔkli me fe, eye wodzɔa nu gaɖuna.
You may eat any animals that parts the hoof, that is, that has the hoof divided in two, and that chews the cud.
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.
Nevertheless, you must not eat some animals that chew the cud or that have the hoof divided in two: the camel, the rabbit, and the rock badger; because they chew the cud but do not part the hoof, they are unclean to 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.
The pig is unclean to you as well because he parts the hoof but does not chew the cud; he is unclean to you. Do not eat pig meat, and do not touch their carcasses.
9 “Tɔmelã siwo ko miekpɔ mɔ aɖu la woe nye esiwo ŋu adza kple tsro le.
Of these things that are in water you may eat: whatever has fins and scales;
10 Ke tɔmelã bubuawo katã siwo ŋu tsro kple adza mele o la nye nu makɔmakɔwo; migaɖu wo o.
but whatever has no fins and scales you must not eat; they are unclean to you.
11 Miekpɔ mɔ aɖu xe ɖe sia ɖe si ŋuti kɔ
All clean birds you may eat.
12 negbe hɔ̃, akaga, akpɔ̃,
But these are the birds that you must not eat: the eagle, the vulture, the osprey,
13 doɖi, aʋako dzĩtɔ kple yibɔtɔwo, akpaviã ƒomevi vovowo, ayisu ƒomevi ɖe sia ɖe,
the red kite and black kite, any kind of falcon.
14 akpaviã ƒomevi ɖe sia ɖe,
You must not eat any kind of raven,
15 golo, sagbadre, tsalɛ̃ kple aʋako ƒomevi ɖe sia ɖe,
and the ostrich, and the night hawk, the sea gull, any kind of hawk,
16 ʋlukuku, favieʋuto kple aŋɔɣi,
the little owl, the great owl, the white owl,
17 aluge, akaga kple tsimese,
the pelican, the carrion vulture, the cormorant.
18 damixe kple ako ƒomevi ɖe sia ɖe, agudzixe kple dro.
You must not eat the stork, any kind of heron, the hoopoe, and the bat.
19 “Nudzodzoewo katã kloe nye nu makɔmakɔwo, eya ta miekpɔ mɔ aɖu wo o.
All winged, swarming things are unclean to you; they must not be eaten.
20 Ke miekpɔ mɔ aɖu xe siwo katã ŋu kɔ.
You may eat all clean flying things.
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.”
You must not eat of anything that dies of itself; you may give it to the foreigner who is within your towns, that he may eat it; or you may sell it to a foreigner. For you are a nation that is set apart to Yahweh your God. You must not boil a young goat in its mother's milk.
22 “Ele be miana miaƒe agblemenukuwo ƒe ewolia ƒe sia ƒe pɛpɛpɛ.
You must surely tithe all the yield of your seed, that which comes out from the field year after year.
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.
You must eat before Yahweh your God, in the place that he will choose as his sanctuary, the tithe of your grain, of your new wine, and of your oil, and the firstborn of your herd and your flock; that you may learn to always honor Yahweh your God.
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,
If the journey is too long for you so that you are not able to carry it, because the place that Yahweh your God will choose as his sanctuary is too far from you, then, when Yahweh God blesses you,
25 ekema miate ŋu adzra miaƒe agblemenukuwo kple lãwo ƒe ewolia, eye miatsɔ ga la ayi Yehowa miaƒe Mawu ƒe kɔkɔeƒe la.
you will convert the offering into money, tie up the money in your hand, and go to the place that Yahweh your God will choose.
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.
There you will spend the money for whatever you desire: for oxen, or for sheep, or for wine, or for strong drink, or for whatever you desire; you will eat there before Yahweh your God, and you will rejoice, you and your 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.
The Levite who is within your gates—do not forsake him, for he has no portion nor inheritance with you.
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 every three years you will present all the tithe of your produce in the same year, and you will store it up within your 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.”
and the Levite, because he has no portion nor inheritance with you, and the foreigner, and the fatherless, and the widow who are within your gates, will come and eat and be satisfied. Do this so that Yahweh your God may bless you in all the work of your hand that you do.
