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 prepare the passover-sacrifice unto the Lord thy God; for in the month of Abib did the Lord thy God bring thee forth 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.

And thou shalt sacrifice the passover-offering unto the Lord thy God of sheep and oxen, in the place which the Lord will choose to let his name dwell there.

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!

Thou shalt not eat therewith any leavened bread: seven days shalt thou eat therewith unleavened bread, the bread of affliction; for in haste didst thou go forth out of the land of Egypt; in order that thou mayest remember the day of thy going forth out of the land of Egypt all the days of thy life.

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.

And there shall not be seen with thee any leaven in all thy borders seven days: neither shall there any of the flesh, which thou sacrificedst in the evening, on the first day, remain all night until the morning.

5 “Mègaɖu Ŋutitotoŋkekenyui la le du siwo Yehowa, wò Mawu la ana wò la dometɔ aɖeke me o,

Thou mayest not slay the passover within any of thy gates, which the Lord thy God giveth thee;

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.

But at the place which the Lord thy God will choose to let his name dwell in, there shalt thou slay the passover at evening, at the going down of the sun, at the season that thou camest forth out of Egypt.

7 Me lã la, eye nàɖui le afi si Yehowa wò Mawu atia na wò. Ɖo ta aƒe me le fɔŋli.

And thou shalt roast and eat it in the place which the Lord thy God will choose; and thou shalt turn in the morning, and go unto thy 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.”

Six days shalt thou eat unleavened bread; and on the seventh day shall be a solemn assembly to the Lord thy God: thou shalt do no work.

9 “Ne èdze wò nukuwo xaxa gɔme, eye kɔsiɖa adre va yi la,

Seven weeks shalt thou number unto thyself: from the time thou beginnest to put the sickle to the corn, shalt thou begin to number seven weeks.

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 thou shalt keep the feast of weeks unto the Lord thy God with a tribute of a freewill-offering of thy hand, which thou shalt give: according as the Lord thy God shall have blessed thee.

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 thou shalt rejoice before the Lord thy God, thou, and thy son, and thy daughter, and thy man-servant, and thy maid-servant, and the Levite that is within thy gates, and the stranger, and the fatherless, and the widow, that are in the midst of thee, in the place which the Lord thy God will choose to let his name dwell there.

12 Ɖo ŋku edzi be, ènye kluvi le Egipte kpɔ, eya ta kpɔ be yewɔ se sia dzi.”

And thou shalt remember that thou hast been a bond-man in Egypt; and thou shalt observe and do 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.

The feast of tabernacles shalt thou hold for thyself seven days, when thou hast gathered in the produce of thy threshing-floor and of thy wine-press:

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 thou shalt rejoice on thy feast, thou, and thy son, and thy daughter, and thy man-servant, and thy maid-servant, and the Levite, and the stranger, and the fatherless, and the widow, that are within thy gates.

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.

Seven days shalt thou keep a solemn feast unto the Lord thy God in the place which the Lord will choose; because the Lord thy God will bless thee in all thy product, and in all the work of thy hands, and thou shalt only rejoice.

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 in the year shall every one of thy males appear before the Lord thy God in the place which he will choose: on the feast of unleavened bread, and on the feast of weeks, and on the feast of tabernacles; and no one shall appear before the Lord empty;

17 Na nu abe ale si nàte ŋui ene le ale si Yehowa miaƒe Mawu yra wòe la nu.

Every man according to what his hand can give, according to the blessing of the Lord thy God which he hath given thee.

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.

Judges and officers shalt thou appoint unto thyself in all thy gates, which the Lord thy God giveth thee, throughout thy tribes: and they shall judge the people with a just 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.

Thou shalt not wrest judgment; thou shalt not respect persons, and thou shalt not take a bribe; for the bribe blindeth the eyes of the wise, and perverteth 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.

Justice, only justice shalt thou pursue; in order that thou mayest live, and retain possession of the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee.

21 “Mègaɖi aƒeli aɖeke ƒomevi ɖe Yehowa, wò Mawu la ƒe vɔsamlekpui la gbɔ, aɖi gbɔ̃e gbeɖegbeɖe o,

Thou shalt not plant unto thyself a grove, any tree, near the altar of the Lord thy God, which thou shalt make unto thyself.

22 eye mègali aƒeli aɖeke hã o, elabena Yehowa miaƒe Mawu lé fu wo.

Neither shalt thou set thee up any statue, which the Lord thy God hateth.
