Mose 5 26
1 “Ne èva ɖo anyigba si Yehowa, wò Mawu la le na wò ge la dzi, eye nèxɔe hele edzi la,
It shall be, when you have come in to the land which the LORD your God gives you for an inheritance, possess it, and dwell in it,
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 you shall take some of the first of all the fruit of the ground, which you shall bring in from your land that the LORD your God gives you. You shall put it in a basket, and shall go to the place which the LORD your God shall choose to cause his name to dwell 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.’
You shall come to the priest who shall be in those days, and tell him, “I profess today to the LORD your God, that I have come to the land which the LORD swore to our fathers to give us.”
4 Nunɔla la axɔ kusi la le asiwò ada ɖe Yehowa wò Mawu ƒe vɔsamlekpui la dzi.
The priest shall take the basket out of your hand, and set it down before the LORD your God’s altar.
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.
You shall answer and say before the LORD your God, “My father was a Syrian ready to perish. He went down into Egypt, and lived there, few in number. There he became a great, mighty, and populous nation.
6 Egiptetɔwo wɔ fu mí, wɔ mí kluviwoe, eye wode dɔ sesẽwo asi na mí.
The Egyptians mistreated us, afflicted us, and imposed hard labor on us.
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.
Then we cried to the LORD, the God of our fathers. The LORD heard our voice, and saw our affliction, our toil, and our oppression.
8 Etsɔ nukunu gãwo kple asi sesẽ ɖe mí tso Egipte. Esi wòwɔ nukunu gã dziŋɔwo le Egiptetɔwo ŋkume la,
The LORD brought us out of Egypt with a mighty hand, with an outstretched arm, with great terror, 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 has brought us into this place, and has given us this land, a land flowing 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.
Now, behold, I have brought the first of the fruit of the ground, which you, the LORD, have given me.” You shall set it down before the LORD your God, and worship before the LORD your God.
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.
You shall rejoice in all the good which the LORD your God has given to you, and to your house, you, and the Levite, and the foreigner who 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 you have finished tithing all the tithe of your increase in the third year, which is the year of tithing, then you shall give it to the Levite, to the foreigner, to the fatherless, and to the widow, that they may eat within your 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.
You shall say before the LORD your God, “I have put away the holy things out of my house, and also have given them to the Levite, to the foreigner, to the fatherless, and to the widow, according to all your commandment which you have commanded me. I have not transgressed any of your 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 of it in my mourning, neither have I removed any of it while I was unclean, nor given of it for the dead. I have listened to the LORD my God’s voice. I have done according to all that you have 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 your holy habitation, from heaven, and bless your people Israel, and the ground which you have given us, as you swore to our fathers, a land flowing 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.
Today the LORD your God commands you to do these statutes and ordinances. You shall therefore keep and do them with all your heart and with all your 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.
You have declared today that the LORD is your God, and that you would walk in his ways, keep his statutes, his commandments, and his ordinances, and listen to 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.
The LORD has declared today that you are a people for his own possession, as he has promised you, and that you should 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.”
He will make you high above all nations that he has made, in praise, in name, and in honor, and that you may be a holy people to the LORD your God, as he has spoken.
