< Mose 5 15 >

1 “Le ƒe adrelia ɖe sia ɖe ƒe nuwuwu la, woate fli ɖe fe sia fe me.
At the end of [every] seven years thou shalt make a release.
2 Nudonamela ɖe sia ɖe aŋlɔ ɖe agbalẽ si Israelvi si nye nudola la na la dzi be, ‘Eɖo nu sia nu teƒe pɛpɛpɛ,’ elabena Yehowa tsɔ nu sia nu ke ame sia ame.
And this [is] the manner of the release: Every creditor that lendeth [ought] unto his neighbour shall release [it; ] he shall not exact [it] of his neighbour, or of his brother; because it is called the LORD’s release.
3 Ke tsɔtsɔke sia melɔ amedzrowo ya ɖe eme o.
Of a foreigner thou mayest exact [it again: ] but [that] which is thine with thy brother thine hand shall release;
4 Nudonamela aɖeke maɖo ko le tsɔtsɔke sia ta o, elabena Yehowa miaƒe Mawu akɔ yayra geɖe ɖe mia dzi le anyigba si wòle mia nam la dzi, ne miewɔ eƒe sewo dzi.
Save when there shall be no poor among you; for the LORD shall greatly bless thee in the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee [for] an inheritance to possess it:
5 Nu si hiã na eƒe yayra sia xɔxɔ koe nye miawɔ Yehowa, miaƒe Mawu la ƒe se siwo katã mele dedem na mi egbe la dzi pɛpɛpɛ.
Only if thou carefully hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to observe to do all these commandments which I command thee this day.
6 Yehowa miaƒe Mawu ayra mi abe ale si wòdo ŋugbe ene. Miado ga na dukɔ geɖewo, gake mahiã gbeɖegbeɖe be miawo ya miado ga o! Miaɖu dukɔ geɖewo dzi, gake woawo ya maɖu mia dzi o!
For the LORD thy God blesseth thee, as he promised thee: and thou shalt lend unto many nations, but thou shalt not borrow; and thou shalt reign over many nations, but they shall not reign over thee.
7 “Ke ne mieva ɖo anyigba si Yehowa miaƒe Mawu ana mi dzi, eye ame dahe aɖewo le mia dome la, mele be miasẽ dzi me alo amia asiʋlome ɖe ame daheawo ŋu o.
If there be among you a poor man of one of thy brethren within any of thy gates in thy land which the LORD thy God giveth thee, thou shalt not harden thine heart, nor shut thine hand from thy poor brother:
8 Ele be miado nu sia nu si woahiã la na wo.
But thou shalt open thine hand wide unto him, and shalt surely lend him sufficient for his need, [in that] which he wanteth.
9 Mikpɔ nyuie! Migagbe gadodo na ame, elabena ƒe si me woate fli ɖe fewo me la gogo o! Ne miegbe gadodo na hiãtɔ la, eye hiãtɔ la ƒo koko na Yehowa la, Yehowa abui na mi nu vɔ̃e.
Beware that there be not a thought in thy wicked heart, saying, The seventh year, the year of release, is at hand; and thine eye be evil against thy poor brother, and thou givest him nought; and he cry unto the LORD against thee, and it be sin unto thee.
10 Ele be nàdo nu si hiãtɔ la hiã la nɛ, eye mègafa konyi tso eŋu hã o! Elabena Yehowa wò Mawu ana nuwo nadze edzi na wò le nu sia ta!
Thou shalt surely give him, and thine heart shall not be grieved when thou givest unto him: because that for this thing the LORD thy God shall bless thee in all thy works, and in all that thou puttest thine hand unto.
11 Ame dahe aɖewo anɔ mia dome ɣe sia ɣi kokoko. Esia ta se sia le vevie ɖo. Ele be mianyo dɔ me, ado nu na wo.”
For the poor shall never cease out of the land: therefore I command thee, saying, Thou shalt open thine hand wide unto thy brother, to thy poor, and to thy needy, in thy land.
12 “Ne èƒle kluvi aɖe si nye Hebritɔ, ŋutsu alo nyɔnu la, ele be wòasubɔ wò ƒe ade, eye nàna ablɔɖee le ƒe adrelia me.
[And] if thy brother, an Hebrew man, or an Hebrew woman, be sold unto thee, and serve thee six years; then in the seventh year thou shalt let him go free from thee.
13 Mègana wòayi asi ƒuƒlu o!
And when thou sendest him out free from thee, thou shalt not let him go away empty:
14 Do mɔe kple lã aɖewo tso wò lãha la me kple ami tso wò amiɖaƒe kple wain tso wò wainfiaƒe. Na nui ɖe ale si Yehowa wò Mawu ayra wòe la nu.
Thou shalt furnish him liberally out of thy flock, and out of thy floor, and out of thy winepress: [of that] wherewith the LORD thy God hath blessed thee thou shalt give unto him.
15 Miɖo ŋku edzi be mienye kluviwo le Egiptenyigba dzi kpɔ, eye Yehowa, miaƒe Mawu la ɖe mi! Eya tae mele se sia dem na mi.
And thou shalt remember that thou wast a bondman in the land of Egypt, and the LORD thy God redeemed thee: therefore I command thee this thing to day.
16 “Ke ne Hebri kluvi la medi be yeadzo le gbɔwò o, ke boŋ wògblɔ be yelɔ̃ wò, wò aƒemenɔnɔ dze edzi na ye, eye wò beléle na ye dze ye ŋu la,
And it shall be, if he say unto thee, I will not go away from thee; because he loveth thee and thine house, because he is well with thee;
17 ekema nàtsɔ nuŋɔnu aŋɔ to nɛ amimi ɖe ʋɔtru ŋu, ekema le esia megbe la, kluvi la atsi gbɔwò ɖikaa. Wɔ nenema ke na wò kosiwo hã.
Then thou shalt take an aul, and thrust [it] through his ear unto the door, and he shall be thy servant for ever. And also unto thy maidservant thou shalt do likewise.
18 Ne èɖe asi le kluvi aɖe ŋu la, mègana wòave wò o, elabena ɖo ŋku edzi be kluvi ɖeka ma wɔ agbatedɔwɔla eve ƒe dɔ na ye le ƒe adeawo me! Yehowa, wò Mawu la ayra wò dɔwɔwɔwo katã ɖe esi nèna ablɔɖe wò kluvi la ta!”
It shall not seem hard unto thee, when thou sendest him away free from thee; for he hath been worth a double hired servant [to thee], in serving thee six years: and the LORD thy God shall bless thee in all that thou doest.
19 “Ele be nàkɔ wò alẽwo kple nyiwo ƒe ŋgɔgbevi siwo nye atsu la ŋu na Yehowa, wò Mawu la. Mègana wò nyitsu si nye ŋgɔgbevi la nawɔ dɔ le agble me o, eye mègako fu le wò alẽwo kple gbɔ̃wo ƒe ŋgɔgbeviwo ŋu o.
All the firstling males that come of thy herd and of thy flock thou shalt sanctify unto the LORD thy God: thou shalt do no work with the firstling of thy bullock, nor shear the firstling of thy sheep.
20 Le esia teƒe la, ele be wò kple wò ƒometɔwo miaɖu lã siawo le Yehowa, wò Mawu la ŋkume ƒe sia ƒe le eƒe kɔkɔeƒe la.
Thou shalt eat [it] before the LORD thy God year by year in the place which the LORD shall choose, thou and thy household.
21 Ke ne mede blibo o, afɔ ŋe nɛ, eƒe ŋku gbã alo nu gblẽ le eƒe teƒe bubu aɖe ŋu la, mèkpɔ mɔ atsɔe asa vɔe na Yehowa wò Mawu o,
And if there be [any] blemish therein, [as if it be] lame, or blind, [or have] any ill blemish, thou shalt not sacrifice it unto the LORD thy God.
22 ke boŋ ɖui kple wò ƒometɔwo le aƒe me. Ame sia ame ate ŋu aɖu lã sia faa ne amea ŋu mekɔ le ɣe ma ɣi me o hã, abe ale si ame sia ame ate ŋu aɖu sẽ kple zi ene,
Thou shalt eat it within thy gates: the unclean and the clean [person shall eat it] alike, as the roebuck, and as the hart.
23 gake migaɖu lã la ƒe ʋu ya o, ke boŋ mina wòaɖuɖu ɖe anyigba abe tsi ene.”
Only thou shalt not eat the blood thereof; thou shalt pour it upon the ground as water.
