Mose 5 24
1 “Ne ŋutsu aɖe srɔ̃ ƒe nu meganyo eŋu o la, ŋutsu la aŋlɔ srɔ̃gbegbalẽ atsɔ na srɔ̃a, eye wòanyae.
When a man has taken a wife, and married her, and it come to pass that she find no favour in his eyes, because he has found some uncleanness in her: then let him write her a bill of divorcement, and give it in her hand, and send her out of his house.
2 Ne nyɔnu la gaɖe srɔ̃,
And when she is departed out of his house, she may go and be another man's wife.
3 eye srɔ̃a evelia hã gagbee alo ku la,
And if the latter husband hate her, and write her a bill of divorcement, and gives it in her hand, and sends her out of his house; or if the latter husband die, which took her to be his wife;
4 srɔ̃ŋutsu gbãtɔ mekpɔ mɔ agaɖee o, elabena ŋutsu la do ŋunyɔ nyɔnu la kpɔ. Nu sia ahe vɔ̃ va anyigba si Yehowa, wò Mawu la le nawòm la dzi.
Her former husband, which sent her away, may not take her again to be his wife, after that she is defiled; for that is abomination before the LORD: and you shall not cause the land to sin, which the LORD your God gives you for an inheritance.
5 “Ne ŋutsu aɖe ɖe srɔ̃ eteƒe medidi o la, mègaɖoe ɖe aʋa loo alo nàde dɔ tɔxɛ aɖeke asi nɛ o. Na wòakpɔ vovo ƒe blibo ɖeka, anɔ aƒe me, eye wòakpɔ dzidzɔ kple srɔ̃a.”
When a man has taken a new wife, he shall not go out to war, neither shall he be charged with any business: but he shall be free at home one year, and shall cheer up his wife which he has taken.
6 “Se meɖe mɔ be woaxɔ wɔtute abe awɔbanu ene o, elabena eyae nye dɔwɔnu si naa nuɖuɖu ame si tɔ wònye.
No man shall take the nether or the upper millstone to pledge: for he takes a man's life to pledge.
7 Ne ame aɖe fi nɔvia Israelvi, eye wòwɔe eƒe kluvi alo dzrae la, ele be amefila la naku ale be nu vɔ̃ naɖe ɖa le mia dome.
If a man be found stealing any of his brethren of the children of Israel, and makes merchandise of him, or sells him; then that thief shall die; and you shall put evil away from among you.
8 “Ele be nàkpɔ egbɔ be wowɔ nunɔlawo ƒe sewo dzi pɛpɛpɛ le anyidzedɔ, dɔdzĩ kple kpodɔ gome, elabena mede se siwo dzi miawɔ ɖo nyaɖenyanui la na nunɔlawo.
Take heed in the plague of leprosy, that you observe diligently, and do according to all that the priests the Levites shall teach you: as I commanded them, so all of you shall observe to do.
9 Ɖo ŋku nu si Yehowa, wò Mawu la wɔ Miriam esi miegbɔna tso Egipte la dzi.
Remember what the LORD your God did unto Miriam by the way, after that all of you were come forth out of Egypt.
10 “Ne èɣe nane na ame aɖe la, mèkpɔ mɔ nàyi eƒe aƒe me be yeaxɔ awɔbanu aɖeke o.
When you do lend your brother any thing, you shall not go into his house to fetch his pledge.
11 Nɔ aƒea godo! Na ame si nèɣe nu la na la ŋutɔ natsɔ awɔbanu la vɛ na wò.
You shall stand abroad, and the man to whom you do lend shall bring out the pledge abroad unto you.
12 Ne amea da ahe, eye wòtsɔ eƒe avɔ na wò abe awɔbanu ene la, mele be nàtsyɔ avɔ la amlɔ anyie o.
And if the man be poor, you shall not sleep with his pledge:
13 Trɔe yi nɛ ne ɣe ɖo to, ale be wòate ŋu awɔ eŋu dɔ le zã me, ekema woayra wò. Yehowa, wò Mawu la abui dzɔdzɔenyenyee na wò.
In any case you shall deliver him the pledge again when the sun goes down, that he may sleep in his own raiment, and bless you: and it shall be righteousness unto you before the LORD your God.
14 “Mègate agbatedɔwɔla aɖeke ɖe to gbeɖe o, eɖanye nɔviwò Israelvi loo alo amedzro si le wò du me o.
You shall not oppress an hired servant that is poor and needy, whether he be of your brethren, or of your strangers that are in your land within your gates:
15 Xe eƒe fetu nɛ gbe sia gbe hafi ɣe naɖo to, elabena esi wòda ahe ta la, ehiã fetu la enumake. Ne mèxee nɛ enumake o la, afa konyi tso ŋuwò, eye Yehowa abui nu vɔ̃e na wò.”
At his day you shall give him his hire, neither shall the sun go down upon it; for he is poor, and sets his heart upon it: lest he cry against you unto the LORD, and it be sin unto you.
16 “Womawu fofowo ɖe wo viwo ƒe nu vɔ̃wo ta o, eye nenema ke womawu viwo ɖe wo fofowo ƒe nu vɔ̃wo ta o. Woawu ame sia ame ɖe eya ŋutɔ ko ƒe nu vɔ̃ ta.
The fathers shall not be put to death for the children, neither shall the children be put to death for the fathers: every man shall be put to death for his own sin.
17 “Mègate amedzrowo kple tsyɔ̃eviwo ƒe nya dzɔdzɔe ɖe to o, eye mègaxɔ ahosi aɖeke ƒe avɔ abe awɔbanu ene o.
You shall not pervert the judgment of the stranger, nor of the fatherless; nor take a widow's raiment to pledge:
18 Ɖo ŋku edzi ɣe sia ɣi be mienye kluviwo le Egipte kpɔ, eye Yehowa, miaƒe Mawu la ɖe mi, eya tae mede se sia na mi.
But you shall remember that you were a bondman in Egypt, and the LORD your God redeemed you thence: therefore I command you to do this thing.
19 Ne èle wò nukuwo xam le wò agble me, eye nèŋlɔ nuku babla aɖe be ɖe agblea me la, mègatrɔ yi ɖatsɔe o. Gblẽe ɖi na amedzrowo, tsyɔ̃eviwo kple ahosiwo. Ekema Yehowa, wò Mawu la ayra wò asinudɔwo katã woadze edzi na wò.
When you cut down your harvest in your field, and have forgot a sheaf in the field, you shall not go again to fetch it: it shall be for the stranger, for the fatherless, and for the widow: that the LORD your God may bless you in all the work of your hands.
20 Ne ègbe kutsetsewo le amiti dzi la, mègatsa atilɔawo dzi zi evelia o. Gblẽ kutsetse siwo atsi atilɔawo dzi la ɖi na amedzrowo, tsyɔ̃eviwo kple ahosiwo.
When you beat your olive tree, you shall not go over the boughs again: it shall be for the stranger, for the fatherless, and for the widow.
21 Se sia kee le wò wain tsetsewo gbegbe hã ŋu. Ne ègbe wò wain tsetsewo la, mègatsa le alɔawo dzi zi evelia o, ke boŋ gblẽ kutsetse siwo tsi atia dzi la ɖi na hiãtɔwo.
When you gather the grapes of your vineyard, you shall not glean it afterward: it shall be for the stranger, for the fatherless, and for the widow.
22 Ɖo ŋku edzi be mienye kluviwo le Egipte kpɔ, eya tae mele se sia dem na mi.”
And you shall remember that you were a bondman in the land of Egypt: therefore I command you to do this thing.
