Mose 5 16
1 “Ɖo ŋku edzi nàɖu Ŋutitotoŋkekenyui la le ɣleti gbãtɔ me, elabena ɣleti ma mee Yehowa, wò Mawu la kplɔ mi dzoe le Egipte le zã me.
Observe the month of Abib and celebrate the Passover to the LORD your God, because in the month of Abib the LORD your God brought you out of Egypt by night.
2 Wò Ŋutitotoŋkekenyui la ƒe vɔsa nanye alẽwo loo alo nyiwo, eye nàsa vɔ la na Yehowa, wò Mawu la le kɔkɔeƒe la.
You are to offer to the LORD your God the Passover sacrifice from the herd or flock in the place the LORD will choose as a dwelling for His Name.
3 Miɖu vɔsalã la kple abolo maʋamaʋã. Ɖu abolo maʋamaʋã ŋkeke adre abe ŋkuɖoɖo abolo si mieɖu esi mienɔ sisim tso Egipte la dzi ene. Esia naɖo ŋku edzi na wò be, esi mienɔ sisim le Egipte la, mienɔ kplakplakpla dzi ale gbegbe be, ɣeyiɣi menɔ anyi be abolo naʋã o. Ɖo ŋku ŋkeke ma dzi le wò agbemeŋkeke mamlɛawo katã me!
You must not eat leavened bread with it; for seven days you are to eat with it unleavened bread, the bread of affliction, because you left the land of Egypt in haste—so that you may remember for the rest of your life the day you left the land of Egypt.
4 Mègana amɔʋãtike aɖeke nanɔ wò aƒe me le ŋkeke adreawo me o. Gawu la, mègana Ŋutitotoŋkekenyui la ƒe lã la ƒe akpa aɖeke natsi anyi ŋu nake ɖe edzi o.
No leaven is to be found in all your land for seven days, and none of the meat you sacrifice in the evening of the first day shall remain until morning.
5 “Mègaɖu Ŋutitotoŋkekenyui la le du siwo Yehowa, wò Mawu la ana wò la dometɔ aɖeke me o,
You are not to sacrifice the Passover animal in any of the towns that the LORD your God is giving you.
6 ke boŋ nàɖui le teƒe si Yehowa wò Mawu atia abe eƒe kɔkɔeƒe ene. Tsɔ lã la sa vɔe le afi ma le ŋkekenyui la ƒe fiẽ me ne ɣe ɖo to.
You must only offer the Passover sacrifice at the place the LORD your God will choose as a dwelling for His Name. Do this in the evening as the sun sets, at the same time you departed from Egypt.
7 Me lã la, eye nàɖui le afi si Yehowa wò Mawu atia na wò. Ɖo ta aƒe me le fɔŋli.
And you shall roast it and eat it in the place the LORD your God will choose, and in the morning you shall return to your tents.
8 Le ŋkeke ade siwo adze eyome me la, màɖu abolo ʋaʋã aɖeke o, ke le ŋkeke adrelia gbe la, du sia du me tɔwo akpe ta ɖe Yehowa, wò Mawu la ŋkume. Mègawɔ dɔ aɖeke gbe ma gbe o.”
For six days you must eat unleavened bread, and on the seventh day you shall hold a solemn assembly to the LORD your God, and you must not do any work.
9 “Ne èdze wò nukuwo xaxa gɔme, eye kɔsiɖa adre va yi la,
You are to count off seven weeks from the time you first put the sickle to the standing grain.
10 àgaɖu ŋkekenyui bubu le Yehowa, wò Mawu la ŋkume. Ŋkekenyui sia ŋkɔe nye Kɔsiɖawo ƒe Ŋkekenyui. Le ŋkekenyui sia dzi la, ele be nàwɔ lɔlɔ̃nuvɔsa si asɔ kple yayra si Yehowa, wò Mawu la kɔ ɖe dziwò le agblemenuku siwo nèxa la ƒe agbɔsɔsɔ nu.
And you shall celebrate the Feast of Weeks to the LORD your God with a freewill offering that you give in proportion to how the LORD your God has blessed you,
11 Enye ɣeyiɣi si dzi nàtso aseye le, le Yehowa wò Mawu ŋkume kple wò ƒometɔwo kple wò dɔlaŋutsuwo kple dɔlanyɔnuwo. Mègaŋlɔ Levitɔwo, amedzrowo, ahosiwo kple tsyɔ̃evi siwo le mia dome la be o. Kpe wo be woava ɖu ŋkekenyui la kpli wò le kɔkɔeƒe la.
and you shall rejoice before the LORD your God in the place He will choose as a dwelling for His Name—you, your sons and daughters, your menservants and maidservants, and the Levite within your gates, as well as the foreigner, the fatherless, and the widows among you.
12 Ɖo ŋku edzi be, ènye kluvi le Egipte kpɔ, eya ta kpɔ be yewɔ se sia dzi.”
Remember that you were slaves in Egypt, and carefully follow these statutes.
13 Ne nuŋeɣi wu nu la, àgaɖu ŋkekenyui bubu si nye Agbadɔmeŋkekenyui, ŋkeke adre sɔŋ, ne èklẽ wò bli, eye nèfia wò wain vɔ.
You are to celebrate the Feast of Tabernacles for seven days after you have gathered the produce of your threshing floor and your winepress.
14 Esia anye dzidzɔɣi kple aseyetsoŋkekenyui na wò kple wò ƒometɔwo kple wò subɔlawo siaa. Ɖo ŋku edzi nàkpe Levitɔwo, amedzrowo kple tsyɔ̃eviwo kple ahosi siwo le wò du me.
And you shall rejoice in your feast—you, your sons and daughters, your menservants and maidservants, and the Levite, as well as the foreigner, the fatherless, and the widows among you.
15 Ɖu ŋkekenyui sia le kɔkɔeƒe, afi si dzi Yehowa wò Mawu atɔ asii. Enye ɣeyiɣi vevi aɖe si dzi wòle be nàda akpe tɔxɛ na Yehowa, ɖe ale si wòyra wò le nuku siwo nèxa kple ale si wòyra wò le mɔ bubu geɖewo nu la ta. Ele be wòanye aseyetsoŋkekenyui gã aɖe.
For seven days you shall celebrate a feast to the LORD your God in the place He will choose, because the LORD your God will bless you in all your produce and in all the work of your hands, so that your joy will be complete.
16 Ele be Israel ŋutsu ɖe sia ɖe nado ɖe Yehowa, miaƒe Mawu la ŋkume, le kɔkɔeƒe la zi etɔ̃ le ƒe sia ƒe me hena ŋkekenyui siawo ɖuɖu: Abolo Maʋamaʋã ƒe Ŋkekenyui, Kɔsiɖawo ƒe Ŋkekenyui, Agbadɔmeŋkekenyui. Ele be nàtsɔ nunana aɖe vɛ na Yehowa le ŋkekenyui siawo dometɔ ɖe sia ɖe dzi.
Three times a year all your men are to appear before the LORD your God in the place He will choose: at the Feast of Unleavened Bread, the Feast of Weeks, and the Feast of Tabernacles. No one should appear before the LORD empty-handed.
17 Na nu abe ale si nàte ŋui ene le ale si Yehowa miaƒe Mawu yra wòe la nu.
Everyone must appear with a gift as he is able, according to the blessing the LORD your God has given you.
18 Ɖo ʋɔnudrɔ̃lawo kple dzikpɔlawo ɖe du siwo katã Yehowa miaƒe Mawu le mia nam la me. Woadrɔ̃ ʋɔnu le dukɔ la ƒe akpa ɖe sia ɖe me.
You are to appoint judges and officials for your tribes in every town that the LORD your God is giving you. They are to judge the people with righteous judgment.
19 Mègatrɔ ʋɔnunya aɖeke be wòade hotsuitɔ aɖeke dzi o, eye mègaxɔ zãnu hã gbeɖegbeɖe o, elabena zãnu gbãa ŋku na nunyalawo kekeake gɔ̃ hã, eye wògblẽa woƒe afiatsotso.
Do not deny justice or show partiality. Do not accept a bribe, for a bribe blinds the eyes of the wise and twists the words of the righteous.
20 Ele be nàkpɔ egbɔ be wolé nya dzɔdzɔe ko ɖe te. Mɔ sia nu ko nàto hafi akpɔ dzidzedze le anyigba si Yehowa, wò Mawu la le nawòm la dzi.
Pursue justice, and justice alone, so that you may live, and you may possess the land that the LORD your God is giving you.
21 “Mègaɖi aƒeli aɖeke ƒomevi ɖe Yehowa, wò Mawu la ƒe vɔsamlekpui la gbɔ, aɖi gbɔ̃e gbeɖegbeɖe o,
Do not set up any wooden Asherah pole next to the altar you will build for the LORD your God,
22 eye mègali aƒeli aɖeke hã o, elabena Yehowa miaƒe Mawu lé fu wo.
and do not set up for yourselves a sacred pillar, which the LORD your God hates.
