Mose 5 26
1 “Ne èva ɖo anyigba si Yehowa, wò Mawu la le na wò ge la dzi, eye nèxɔe hele edzi la,
And it shall be, when thou art come in unto the land which YHWH thy Elohim giveth thee for an inheritance, and possessest it, and dwellest therein;
2 ele na wò be nàtsɔ wò agblemenuku gbãtɔ siwo nàkpɔ tso anyigba si Yehowa wò Mawu le na wò ge dzi la ƒe nuku gbãtɔwo le ƒe sia ƒe ƒe nuŋeŋe me na Yehowa le eƒe kɔkɔeƒe la.
That thou shalt take of the first of all the fruit of the earth, which thou shalt bring of thy land that YHWH thy Elohim giveth thee, and shalt put it in a basket, and shalt go unto the place which YHWH thy Elohim shall choose to place his name there.
3 Tsɔe de kusi me yi na nunɔla si le dɔ wɔm ɣe ma ɣi, eye nàgblɔ nɛ be, ‘Nunana siae nye nye emeʋuʋu ƒe dzesi be, Yehowa, nye Mawu kplɔm va ɖo anyigba si ŋugbe wòdo na tɔgbuinyewo la dzi.’
And thou shalt go unto the priest that shall be in those days, and say unto him, I profess this day unto YHWH thy Elohim, that I am come unto the country which YHWH sware unto our fathers for to give us.
4 Nunɔla la axɔ kusi la le asiwò ada ɖe Yehowa wò Mawu ƒe vɔsamlekpui la dzi.
And the priest shall take the basket out of thine hand, and set it down before the altar of YHWH thy Elohim.
5 Esia megbe la, àgblɔ le Yehowa, wò Mawu la ƒe ŋkume be, ‘Tɔgbuinyewo nye Arameatɔwo. Woʋu yi Egipte le sitsoƒedidi ta. Wonye ame ʋɛ aɖewo ko, ke wova zu dukɔ gã aɖe le Egipte.
And thou shalt speak and say before YHWH thy Elohim, A Syrian ready to perish was my father, and he went down into Egypt, and sojourned there with a few, and became there a nation, great, mighty, and populous:
6 Egiptetɔwo wɔ fu mí, wɔ mí kluviwoe, eye wode dɔ sesẽwo asi na mí.
And the Egyptians evil entreated us, and afflicted us, and laid upon us hard bondage:
7 Míedo ɣli, ƒo koko na Yehowa, mía fofowo ƒe Mawu. Ese míaƒe gbe, eye wòkpɔ míaƒe fukpekpe, dɔwɔwɔ kple ale si wote mí ɖe toe.
And when we cried unto YHWH Elohim of our fathers, YHWH heard our voice, and looked on our affliction, and our labour, and our oppression:
8 Etsɔ nukunu gãwo kple asi sesẽ ɖe mí tso Egipte. Esi wòwɔ nukunu gã dziŋɔwo le Egiptetɔwo ŋkume la,
And YHWH brought us forth out of Egypt with a mighty hand, and with an outstretched arm, and with great terribleness, and with signs, and with wonders:
9 ekplɔ mí tso teƒe sia, eye wòtsɔ anyigba sia, si dzi “notsi kple anyitsi bɔ ɖo” la na mí.
And he hath brought us into this place, and hath given us this land, even a land that floweth with milk and honey.
10 Azɔ la, O! Yehowa, kpɔ ɖa, metsɔ nye agblemenuku gbãtɔ siwo mekpɔ tso anyigba si nènam me la ƒe kpɔɖeŋu vɛ na wò.’ Ekema nàtsɔ nukuawo ada ɖe Yehowa, wò Mawu la ŋkume, eye nàde ta agu nɛ.
And now, behold, I have brought the firstfruits of the land, which thou, O YHWH, hast given me. And thou shalt set it before YHWH thy Elohim, and worship before YHWH thy Elohim:
11 Le esia megbe la, yi nàɖo kplɔ̃ kple nu nyui siwo katã Yehowa, wò Mawu la na wò. Na wò ƒometɔwo kple Levitɔwo kple amedzro siwo le mia dome la nakpɔ gome kpli wò le dzidzɔkpɔkpɔ la me.
And thou shalt rejoice in every good thing which YHWH thy Elohim hath given unto thee, and unto thine house, thou, and the Levite, and the stranger that is among you.
12 “Ƒe etɔ̃lia ɖe sia ɖe nye ƒe tɔxɛ na nuwo ƒe ewolia nana. Le ƒe ma me la, ele be nàtsɔ wò nuwo ƒe ewolia katã ana Levitɔwo, amedzrowo, tsyɔ̃eviwo kple ahosiwo, ale be woawo hã naɖu nu nyuie.
When thou hast made an end of tithing all the tithes of thine increase the third year, which is the year of tithing, and hast given it unto the Levite, the stranger, the fatherless, and the widow, that they may eat within thy gates, and be filled;
13 Ekema nàgblɔ le Yehowa, wò Mawu la ŋkume be, ‘Metsɔ nye nuwo ƒe ewolia katã na Levitɔwo, amedzrowo, tsyɔ̃eviwo kple ahosiwo abe ale si nèɖo nam ene. Nyemeda le wò se aɖeke dzi loo alo ŋlɔ ɖeke be o.
Then thou shalt say before YHWH thy Elohim, I have brought away the hallowed things out of mine house, and also have given them unto the Levite, and unto the stranger, to the fatherless, and to the widow, according to all thy commandments which thou hast commanded me: I have not transgressed thy commandments, neither have I forgotten them.
14 Nyemeka asi nu ewolia ƒe ɖeka ŋu esi nye ŋuti mekɔ o, le kpɔɖeŋu me, esi menɔ fu nyim o, eye nyemetsɔ ɖeke na ame kukuwo hã o. Meɖo to Yehowa, nye Mawu la, eye mewɔ nu sia nu si nèɖo nam.
I have not eaten thereof in my mourning, neither have I taken away ought thereof for any unclean use, nor given ought thereof for the dead: but I have hearkened to the voice of YHWH my Elohim, and have done according to all that thou hast commanded me.
15 Kpɔ mí ɖa tso wò nɔƒe kɔkɔe la le dziƒo, eye nàyra Israelviwo kple anyigba si nètsɔ na mí abe ale si nèdo ŋugbe na mía tɔgbuiwo ene. Wɔe wòanye anyigba si dzi notsi kple anyitsi bɔ ɖo.’”
Look down from thy holy habitation, from heaven, and bless thy people Israel, and the land which thou hast given us, as thou swarest unto our fathers, a land that floweth with milk and honey.
16 “Ele be nàwɔ se kple ɖoɖo siwo katã Yehowa, wò Mawu la le nàwom egbe la dzi kple dzi wò blibo.
This day YHWH thy Elohim hath commanded thee to do these statutes and judgments: thou shalt therefore keep and do them with all thine heart, and with all thy soul.
17 Èʋu eme egbe be Yehowae nye wò Mawu, eye nèdo ŋugbe egbe be, yeawɔ eƒe sewo kple ɖoɖowo dzi, eye yeawɔ nu sia nu si wògblɔ na ye be yeawɔ.
Thou hast avouched YHWH this day to be thy Elohim, and to walk in his ways, and to keep his statutes, and his commandments, and his judgments, and to hearken unto his voice:
18 Yehowa hã ʋu eme egbe be ànye yeƒe dukɔ abe ale si wòdo ŋugbe ene, eye wòbia tso asiwò be nàwɔ yeƒe sewo katã dzi.
And YHWH hath avouched thee this day to be his peculiar people, as he hath promised thee, and that thou shouldest keep all his commandments;
19 Ne èwɔ alea la, awɔ wò dukɔ gã wu dukɔ bubu ɖe sia ɖe, eye wòana kafukafu, bubu kple ŋkɔxɔxɔ wò. Ke hafi bubu kple ŋkɔ sia naɖo ŋuwò la, ele be nànye dukɔ kɔkɔe na Yehowa, wò Mawu la abe ale si wòdi tso asiwò ene.”
And to make thee high above all nations which he hath made, in praise, and in name, and in honour; and that thou mayest be an holy people unto YHWH thy Elohim, as he hath spoken.
