< Mose 5 23 >
1 “Ŋutsu si ƒe voku gbã alo ŋutsu si ƒe ŋutsu wolã la mekpɔ mɔ age ɖe Kɔkɔeƒe la o.
He that is wounded in the stones, or hath his privy member cut off, shall not enter into the congregation of YHWH.
2 Ahasivi aɖeke ŋutɔ alo eƒe dzidzimevi siwo anɔ dzidzime gbãtɔ va se ɖe ewolia dzi me la mekpɔ mɔ age ɖe Kɔkɔeƒe la o.
A bastard shall not enter into the congregation of YHWH; even to his tenth generation shall he not enter into the congregation of YHWH.
3 “Amonitɔ alo Moabtɔ aɖeke, le dzidzime ewolia megbe gɔ̃ hã mekpɔ mɔ age ɖe kɔkɔeƒe la o.
An Ammonite or Moabite shall not enter into the congregation of YHWH; even to their tenth generation shall they not enter into the congregation of YHWH for ever:
4 Nu si ta mede se sia ɖoe nye be, dukɔ siawo mena nuɖuɖu kple tsi mí esi mietso Egipte va ɖo wo gbɔ o. Gawu la, woxe fe na Balaam, Beor ƒe viŋutsu, tso Petor le Aram Naharaim be wòaƒo fi ade mí.
Because they met you not with bread and with water in the way, when ye came forth out of Egypt; and because they hired against thee Balaam the son of Beor of Pethor of Mesopotamia, to curse thee.
5 Yehowa wò Mawu meɖo to Balaam o, ke boŋ etrɔ fi si wòdi be yeaƒo ade mí la wòzu yayra na mí, elabena Yehowa lɔ̃ mí.
Nevertheless YHWH thy Elohim would not hearken unto Balaam; but YHWH thy Elohim turned the curse into a blessing unto thee, because YHWH thy Elohim loved thee.
6 Ŋkeke ale si miele agbe la, mele be miana kpekpeɖeŋu aɖeke Amoritɔwo kple Moabtɔwo akpɔ o.
Thou shalt not seek their peace nor their prosperity all thy days for ever.
7 Ke migado vlo Edomtɔwo kple Egiptetɔwo ya o. Mia nɔviwoe nye Edomtɔwo, eye mienɔ Egiptetɔwo dome kpɔ.
Thou shalt not abhor an Edomite; for he is thy brother: thou shalt not abhor an Egyptian; because thou wast a stranger in his land.
8 Egiptetɔwo ƒe dzidzimevi siwo va kpli mi la kpɔ mɔ age ɖe Yehowa ƒe Kɔkɔeƒe la.”
The children that are begotten of them shall enter into the congregation of YHWH in their third generation.
9 “Ne mieyi aʋa la, ŋutsu siwo le asaɖa la me la mekpɔ mɔ awɔ nu vɔ̃ aɖeke o.
When the host goeth forth against thine enemies, then keep thee from every wicked thing.
10 Ele be ŋutsu ɖe sia ɖe si gblẽ kɔ ɖo na eɖokui to ŋutsutsinyenye me le zã me la nado le asaɖa la me,
If there be among you any man, that is not clean by reason of uncleanness that chanceth him by night, then shall he go abroad out of the camp, he shall not come within the camp:
11 anɔ asaɖa la godo va se ɖe fiẽ, ekema ale tsi, eye wòatrɔ ava asaɖa la me ne ɣe ɖo to.
But it shall be, when evening cometh on, he shall wash himself with water: and when the sun is down, he shall come into the camp again.
12 Woawɔ afɔdzideƒe ɖe asaɖa la godo.
Thou shalt have a place also without the camp, whither thou shalt go forth abroad:
13 Ele be sofi nanɔ ŋutsu ɖe sia ɖe si. Ne ede afɔdzi la, ele be wòatsɔ sofi la, eye wòaku ke atsyɔ afɔdzi la dzi.
And thou shalt have a paddle upon thy weapon; and it shall be, when thou wilt ease thyself abroad, thou shalt dig therewith, and shalt turn back and cover that which cometh from thee:
14 Ele be asaɖa la me nanɔ kɔkɔe, elabena Yehowa miaƒe Mawu zɔna le mia dome be yeadzɔ mia ŋu, eye yeana miaƒe futɔwo nade ta agu na mi. Yehowa medi be yeakpɔ nu nyɔŋu aɖeke ne yeatrɔ adzo le mia gbɔ o.”
For YHWH thy Elohim walketh in the midst of thy camp, to deliver thee, and to give up thine enemies before thee; therefore shall thy camp be holy: that he see no unclean thing in thee, and turn away from thee.
15 “Ne kluvi aɖe si dzo le eƒe aƒetɔ gbɔ la, mègazi edzi be wòatrɔ ayi eƒe aƒetɔ gbɔ o.
Thou shalt not deliver unto his master the servant which is escaped from his master unto thee:
16 Na wòatsi mia dome le du si me wòadi be yeanɔ eye mègatee ɖe anyi o.
He shall dwell with thee, even among you, in that place which he shall choose in one of thy gates, where it liketh him best: thou shalt not oppress him.
17 “Ŋutsu alo nyɔnu si nye gbolo la mekpɔ mɔ anɔ Israelnyigba dzi o.
There shall be no whore of the daughters of Israel, nor a sodomite of the sons of Israel.
18 Mègaxɔ nunana aɖeke tso gbolo aɖeke ƒe gboloho me alo tso ŋutsu siwo dɔa ŋutsuwo gbɔ la ƒe ahasiho me atsɔ na Yehowa o, elabena ame ƒomevi eve siawo nye ŋunyɔ na Yehowa, wò Mawu la.
Thou shalt not bring the hire of a whore, or the price of a dog, into the house of YHWH thy Elohim for any vow: for even both these are abomination unto YHWH thy Elohim.
19 “Mègaxɔ deme ɖe nu si nèdo na nɔviwò, Israelvi la ta o, eɖanye ga, nuɖuɖu alo nu bubu ɖe sia ɖe o.
Thou shalt not lend upon usury to thy brother; usury of money, usury of victuals, usury of any thing that is lent upon usury:
20 Ele be nàxɔ deme le amedzro si, gake menye le Israelvi aɖeke si o, elabena ne èxɔ deme le nɔviwò Israelvi si la, Yehowa, wò Mawu la mayra wò ne èɖo Ŋugbedodonyigba la dzi o.
Unto a stranger thou mayest lend upon usury; but unto thy brother thou shalt not lend upon usury: that YHWH thy Elohim may bless thee in all that thou settest thine hand to in the land whither thou goest to possess it.
21 “Ne èɖe adzɔgbe na Yehowa, wò Mawu la, ele be nàtso ɖe nu si ŋugbe nèdo nɛ la wɔwɔ ŋu kaba, elabena Yehowa bia be nàxe wò adzɔgbeɖefewo kaba. Ne mèwɔ se sia dzi o la, èwɔ nu vɔ̃.
When thou shalt vow a vow unto YHWH thy Elohim, thou shalt not slack to pay it: for YHWH thy Elohim will surely require it of thee; and it would be sin in thee.
22 Ke ne mèɖe adzɔgbe kura o la, mèwɔ nu vɔ̃ o.
But if thou shalt forbear to vow, it shall be no sin in thee.
23 Ne ènya ɖe adzɔgbe ko la, ele be nàkpɔ egbɔ be yewɔ nu si ŋugbe nèdo be yeawɔ la kokoko, elabena wò ŋutɔe tia nu si nàwɔ, eye Yehowa, wò Mawu lae nèɖe adzɔgbe na.
That which is gone out of thy lips thou shalt keep and perform; even a freewill offering, according as thou hast vowed unto YHWH thy Elohim, which thou hast promised with thy mouth.
24 “Ne èyi ame bubu aɖe ƒe waingble me la, àte ŋu aɖu eƒe waintsetse aɖi ƒo, gake mèkpɔ mɔ atsɔ ɖeke ade naneke me adzoe o.
When thou comest into thy neighbour's vineyard, then thou mayest eat grapes thy fill at thine own pleasure; but thou shalt not put any in thy vessel.
25 Se ma kee le bli hã ŋuti; àte ŋu atsɔ asi aŋe bli ʋɛ aɖewo, gake mègatsɔ nuŋehɛ aŋe hawòvi ƒe bli o.”
When thou comest into the standing corn of thy neighbour, then thou mayest pluck the ears with thine hand; but thou shalt not move a sickle unto thy neighbour's standing corn.
