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 fractured or mutilated in his private parts shall not enter into the assembly of the Lord.
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.
[One born] of a harlot shall not enter into the assembly of the Lord.
3 “Amonitɔ alo Moabtɔ aɖeke, le dzidzime ewolia megbe gɔ̃ hã mekpɔ mɔ age ɖe kɔkɔeƒe la o.
The Ammanite and Moabite shall not enter into the assembly of the Lord, even until the tenth generation he shall not enter into the assembly of the Lord, even 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 water by the way, when you went out of Egypt; and because they hired against you Balaam the son of Beor of Mesopotamia to curse you.
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.
But the Lord your God would not listen to Balaam; and the Lord your God changed the curses into blessings, because the Lord your God loved you.
6 Ŋkeke ale si miele agbe la, mele be miana kpekpeɖeŋu aɖeke Amoritɔwo kple Moabtɔwo akpɔ o.
You shall not speak peaceably or profitably to them all your days for ever.
7 Ke migado vlo Edomtɔwo kple Egiptetɔwo ya o. Mia nɔviwoe nye Edomtɔwo, eye mienɔ Egiptetɔwo dome kpɔ.
You shall not abhor an Edomite, because he is your brother; you shall not abhor an Egyptian, because you were a stranger in his land.
8 Egiptetɔwo ƒe dzidzimevi siwo va kpli mi la kpɔ mɔ age ɖe Yehowa ƒe Kɔkɔeƒe la.”
If sons be born to them, in the third generation they shall enter into the assembly of the Lord.
9 “Ne mieyi aʋa la, ŋutsu siwo le asaɖa la me la mekpɔ mɔ awɔ nu vɔ̃ aɖeke o.
And if you should go forth to engage with your enemies, then you shall keep you 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 should be in you a man who is not clean by reason of his issue by night, then he shall go forth out of the camp, and he shall not enter into the camp.
11 anɔ asaɖa la godo va se ɖe fiẽ, ekema ale tsi, eye wòatrɔ ava asaɖa la me ne ɣe ɖo to.
And it shall come to pass toward evening he shall wash his body with water, and when the sun has gone down, he shall go into the camp.
12 Woawɔ afɔdzideƒe ɖe asaɖa la godo.
And you shall have a place outside of the camp, and you shall go out there,
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 you shall have a trowel on your girdle; and it shall come to pass when you would relieve yourself abroad, that you shall dig with it, and shall bring back the earth and cover your nuisance.
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.”
Because the Lord your God walks in your camp to deliver you, and to give up your enemy before your face; and your camp shall be holy, and there shall not appear in you a disgraceful thing, and [so] he shall turn away from you.
15 “Ne kluvi aɖe si dzo le eƒe aƒetɔ gbɔ la, mègazi edzi be wòatrɔ ayi eƒe aƒetɔ gbɔ o.
You shall not deliver a servant to his master, who [coming] from his master attaches himself to you.
16 Na wòatsi mia dome le du si me wòadi be yeanɔ eye mègatee ɖe anyi o.
He shall dwell with you, he shall dwell among you where he shall please; you shall not afflict him.
17 “Ŋutsu alo nyɔnu si nye gbolo la mekpɔ mɔ anɔ Israelnyigba dzi o.
There shall not be a harlot of the daughters of Israel, and there shall not be a fornicator of the sons of Israel; there shall not be an idolatress of the daughters of Israel, and there shall not be an initiated person 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.
You shall not bring the hire of a harlot, nor the price of a dog into the house of the Lord your God, for any vow; because even both are an abomination to the Lord your God.
19 “Mègaxɔ deme ɖe nu si nèdo na nɔviwò, Israelvi la ta o, eɖanye ga, nuɖuɖu alo nu bubu ɖe sia ɖe o.
You shall not lend to your brother on usury of silver, or usury of meat, or usury of any thing which you may lend out.
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.
You may lend on usury to a stranger, but to your brother you shall not lend on usury; that the Lord your God may bless you in all your works upon the land, into which you are entering to inherit 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.
And if you will vow a vow to the Lord your God, you shall not delay to pay it; for the Lord your God will surely require it of you, and [otherwise] it shall be sin in you.
22 Ke ne mèɖe adzɔgbe kura o la, mèwɔ nu vɔ̃ o.
But if you should be unwilling to vow, it is not sin in you.
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.
You shall observe the words that proceed from between your lips; and as you have vowed a gift to the Lord God, [so] shall you do that which you have spoken with your 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.
And if you should go into the corn field of your neighbor, then you may gather the ears with your hands; but you shall not put the sickle to your neighbor's corn.
25 Se ma kee le bli hã ŋuti; àte ŋu atsɔ asi aŋe bli ʋɛ aɖewo, gake mègatsɔ nuŋehɛ aŋe hawòvi ƒe bli o.”
And if you should go into the vineyard of your neighbor, you shall eat grapes sufficient to satisfy your desire; but you may not put them into a vessel.
