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 takes a wife and has married her, and it has been, if she does not find grace in his eyes (for he has found nakedness in her of anything), then he has written a writing of divorce for her, and given [it] into her hand, and sent her out of his house;
2 Ne nyɔnu la gaɖe srɔ̃,
when she has gone out of his house, and has gone and been another man’s,
3 eye srɔ̃a evelia hã gagbee alo ku la,
and the latter man has hated her, and written a writing of divorce for her, and given [it] into her hand, and sent her out of his house, or when the latter man dies, who has taken her to himself for a 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 who sent her away is not able to return to take her to be to him for a wife, after that she has become defiled; for it [is] an abomination before YHWH, and you do not cause the land to sin which your God YHWH is giving to 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 takes a new wife, he does not go out into the host, and [one] does not pass over to him for anything; he is free at his own house [for] one year, and his wife, whom he has taken, he has made glad.
6 “Se meɖe mɔ be woaxɔ wɔtute abe awɔbanu ene o, elabena eyae nye dɔwɔnu si naa nuɖuɖu ame si tɔ wònye.
No one takes millstones and rider in pledge, for it [is one’s] life he is taking in 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.
When a man is found stealing a person from his brothers, from the sons of Israel, and has tyrannized over him and sold him, then that thief has died, and you have put away evil out of your midst.
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, to watch greatly, and to do according to all that the priests, the Levites, teach you; you observe to do as I have commanded them;
9 Ɖo ŋku nu si Yehowa, wò Mawu la wɔ Miriam esi miegbɔna tso Egipte la dzi.
remember that which your God YHWH has done to Miriam in the way, in your coming out of Egypt.
10 “Ne èɣe nane na ame aɖe la, mèkpɔ mɔ nàyi eƒe aƒe me be yeaxɔ awɔbanu aɖeke o.
When you lift up a debt of anything on your brother, you do not go into his house to obtain his pledge;
11 Nɔ aƒea godo! Na ame si nèɣe nu la na la ŋutɔ natsɔ awɔbanu la vɛ na wò.
you stand at the outside, and the man on whom you are lifting [it] up is bringing out the pledge to you at the outside.
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 he is a poor man, you do not lie down 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.
you certainly give back the pledge to him at the going in of the sun, and he has lain down in his own raiment and has blessed you; and it is righteousness to you before your God YHWH.
14 “Mègate agbatedɔwɔla aɖeke ɖe to gbeɖe o, eɖanye nɔviwò Israelvi loo alo amedzro si le wò du me o.
You do not oppress a hired worker, poor and needy, of your brothers or of your sojourner who is 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.”
you give his hire in his day, and the sun does not go in on it, for he [is] poor, and he is supporting his life on it, lest he cries against you to YHWH, and it has been sin in 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.
Fathers are not put to death for sons, and sons are not put to death for fathers—they are each 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 do not turn aside the judgment of a fatherless sojourner, nor take the garment of a widow in 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.
and you have remembered that you have been a servant in Egypt, and your God YHWH ransoms you from there; therefore I am commanding 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 reap your harvest in your field, and have forgotten a sheaf in a field, you do not return to take it; it is for the sojourner, for the fatherless, and for the widow, so that your God YHWH blesses 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, you do not examine the branch behind you; it is for the sojourner, 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 cut your vineyard, you do not glean behind you; it is for the sojourner, 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 have remembered that you have been a servant in the land of Egypt; therefore I am commanding you to do this thing.”
