Mose 5 23
1 “Ŋutsu si ƒe voku gbã alo ŋutsu si ƒe ŋutsu wolã la mekpɔ mɔ age ɖe Kɔkɔeƒe la o.
No one whose testicles are crushed or whose male organ is cut off may enter the assembly 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.
No one of illegitimate birth shall enter into the assembly of YHWH; even to the tenth generation shall none of his enter into the assembly of YHWH.
3 “Amonitɔ alo Moabtɔ aɖeke, le dzidzime ewolia megbe gɔ̃ hã mekpɔ mɔ age ɖe kɔkɔeƒe la o.
An Ammonite or a Moabite shall not enter into the assembly of YHWH; even to the tenth generation shall none belonging to them enter into the assembly of YHWH forever:
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 did not meet you with bread and with water in the way, when you came forth out of Egypt, and because they hired against you Balaam the son of Beor from Pethor of Aram Naharaim, 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.
Nevertheless YHWH your God wouldn't listen to Balaam; but YHWH your God turned the curse into a blessing to you, because YHWH your God loved you.
6 Ŋkeke ale si miele agbe la, mele be miana kpekpeɖeŋu aɖeke Amoritɔwo kple Moabtɔwo akpɔ o.
You shall not seek their peace nor their prosperity all your days forever.
7 Ke migado vlo Edomtɔwo kple Egiptetɔwo ya o. Mia nɔviwoe nye Edomtɔwo, eye mienɔ Egiptetɔwo dome kpɔ.
You shall not abhor an Edomite; for he is your brother: you shall not abhor an Egyptian, because you lived as a foreigner in his land.
8 Egiptetɔwo ƒe dzidzimevi siwo va kpli mi la kpɔ mɔ age ɖe Yehowa ƒe Kɔkɔeƒe la.”
The children of the third generation who are born to them shall enter into the assembly of YHWH.
9 “Ne mieyi aʋa la, ŋutsu siwo le asaɖa la me la mekpɔ mɔ awɔ nu vɔ̃ aɖeke o.
When you go forth in camp against your enemies, then you shall keep yourselves from every evil 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 is among you any man who is not clean by reason of that which happens him by night, then shall he go outside 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 comes on, he shall bathe himself in water; and when the sun is down, he shall come within the camp.
12 Woawɔ afɔdzideƒe ɖe asaɖa la godo.
You shall have a place also outside of the camp, where you shall go outside 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 spade among your tools; and it shall be, when you sit down outside, you shall dig therewith, and shall turn and cover that which comes from you:
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 your God walks in the midst of your camp, to deliver you, and to give up your enemies before you; therefore your camp shall be holy, that he may not see an unclean thing in you, and 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 to his master a servant who is escaped from his master to you:
16 Na wòatsi mia dome le du si me wòadi be yeanɔ eye mègatee ɖe anyi o.
he shall dwell with you, in the midst of you, in the place which he shall choose within one of your gates, where it pleases him best: you shall not oppress him.
17 “Ŋutsu alo nyɔnu si nye gbolo la mekpɔ mɔ anɔ Israelnyigba dzi o.
There shall be no prostitute of the daughters of Israel, neither shall there be a sacred male prostitute of the children 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 prostitute, or the wages of a dog, into the house of YHWH your God for any vow: for even both these are an abomination to YHWH 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 on interest to your brother; interest of money, interest of food, interest of anything that is lent on interest:
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.
to a foreigner you may lend on interest; but to your brother you shall not lend on interest, that YHWH your God may bless you in all that you put your hand to, in the land where you go in 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 you shall vow a vow to YHWH your God, you shall not be slack to pay it: for YHWH your God will surely require it of you; and it would be sin in you.
22 Ke ne mèɖe adzɔgbe kura o la, mèwɔ nu vɔ̃ o.
But if you shall forbear to vow, it shall be no 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.
That which is gone out of your lips you shall observe and do; according as you have vowed to YHWH your God, a freewill offering, which you have promised 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.
When you come into your neighbor's vineyard, then you may eat of grapes your fill at your own pleasure; but you shall not put any in your 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 you come into your neighbor's standing grain, then you may pluck the ears with your hand; but you shall not move a sickle to your neighbor's standing grain.
