Mose 5 30
1 “Ne nu siawo katã, yayra kple fiƒode siwo mexlẽ na mi va mia dzi, miebu wo ŋuti esi miele dukɔ siwo me Yehowa, miaƒe Mawu la nya mi ɖo ɖa la dome,
And it shall come to pass, when all these things shall come in upon thee—the blessing and the curse, which I have set before thee, —and thou shalt bring them back unto thy heart among all the nations whither Yahweh thy God hath driven thee;
2 eye mi kple mia viwo mietrɔ ɖe Yehowa miaƒe Mawu ŋu, hede asi eƒe se siwo katã mede na mi egbe la dzi wɔwɔ me kple dzi blibo kple luʋɔ blibo la,
and thou shalt return unto Yahweh thy God and shalt hearken unto his voice, according to all that I am commanding thee to-day, —thou and thy sons, with all thy heart, and with all thy soul,
3 ekema Yehowa, miaƒe Mawu la aɖe mi tso aboyome, ave mia nu, eye wòaƒo mia nu ƒu tso dukɔ siwo katã dome wòakaka mi ɖo la me.
then will Yahweh thy God bring back thy captivity and have compassion upon thee, —and return and gather thee from among all the peoples whither Yahweh thy God hath scattered thee.
4 Togbɔ be mianɔ anyigba ƒe mlɔenu ke hã la, ayi aɖadi mi, eye wòagakplɔ mi va
Though thou be driven out unto the utmost part of the heavens, from thence, will Yahweh thy God gather thee, and, from thence will he fetch thee;
5 mia tɔgbuiwo ƒe anyigba dzi. Anyigba la agazu mia tɔ. Yehowa miaƒe Mawu agawɔ nyui na mi, eye wòagayra mi wu ale si wòyra mia tɔgbuiwo kpɔ gɔ̃ hã.
and Yahweh thy God will bring thee into the land which thy fathers possessed, and thou shalt possess it, —and he will do thee good and multiply thee beyond thy fathers.
6 Yehowa, miaƒe Mawu la akɔ mi kple mia viwo kple miaƒe tɔgbuiyɔviwo ƒe dziwo ŋuti, ale be miagalɔ̃e kple miaƒe dzi blibo kple luʋɔ blibo, eye Israel agagbɔ agbe.
And Yahweh thy God will circumcise thy heart, and the heart of thy seed, —to love Yahweh thy God with all thy heart and with all thy soul, that thou mayest live.
7 Yehowa, miaƒe Mawu la aɖe eƒe fiƒodewo katã ɖa le mia dzi, eye wòatrɔ wo akɔ ɖe ame siwo léa fu mi, eye wotia mia yome la dzi.
And Yahweh thy God will put all these oaths upon thine enemies and upon them who hated thee who persecuted thee.
8 Ke miawo la, ele na mi be miatrɔ va Yehowa gbɔ, eye miawɔ eƒe se siwo katã mede na mi egbe la dzi.
But, thou, wilt return, and hearken unto the voice of Yahweh, —and wilt do all his commandments, which I am commanding thee, to-day,
9 Yehowa miaƒe Mawu ana nu sia nu si miawɔ la nadze edzi na mi, eye wòana mia viwo, miaƒe lãwo kple miaƒe agblemenukuwo nasɔ gbɔ fũu, elabena Yehowa agakpɔ dzidzɔ le mia ŋu, abe ale si wòkpɔe le mia tɔgbuiwo ŋu ene.
And Yahweh thy God will make thee pre-eminent, in every work of thy hand—in the fruit of thy body, and in the fruit of thy cattle and in the fruit of thy ground, for good, —for Yahweh will again rejoice over thee for good, as he rejoiced over thy fathers:
10 Yehowa akpɔ dzidzɔ ne miawɔ se siwo katã woŋlɔ ɖe Segbalẽ sia me la dzi, eye miatrɔ ɖe Yehowa, miaƒe Mawu la ŋu kple miaƒe dzi blibo kple miaƒe luʋɔ blibo ko.”
if thou hearken unto the voice of Yahweh thy God, to keep his commandments, and his statutes, which are written in this scroll of the law, —if thou return unto Yahweh thy God, with all thy heart and with all thy soul.
11 “Menye ɖe se siwo dem mele na mi egbea la dzi wɔwɔ mele miaƒe ŋutete me o,
For as touching this commandment, which I am commanding thee to-day, it is not, too wonderful, for thee, neither is it far off.
12 elabena se siawo mele dziƒo ʋĩi ale gbegbe be miagblɔ be, ‘Ame kae ayi dziƒo’ atsɔ wo vɛ na mí, be míase eye miawɔ wo dzi o.
It is, not in the heavens, —that thou shouldest say—Who shall ascend for us into the heavens that he may fetch it for us, that we may hear it, and do it?
13 Menye ɖe wole atsiaƒu la godo, eye wodidi tso mia gbɔ ale gbegbe be ame aɖeke mate ŋu agblɔ wo me nyawo na mi o.
Neither is it, over the sea, —that thou shouldest say, Who will pass over for us to the other side of the sea, that he may fetch it for us, that we may hear it, and do it?
14 Ke boŋ wote ɖe mia ŋu kpokploe, wole miaƒe dzi me kple miaƒe nu me, ale be miate ŋu awɔ wo dzi.
But, near unto thee, is the word, exceedingly, —in thy mouth and in thy heart, that thou mayest do it.
15 “Kpɔ ɖa, metsɔ agbe kple dzɔgbenyui, ku kple dzɔgbevɔ̃e da ɖe mia ŋkume egbea. Nu siawo ku ɖe miaƒe seawo dzi wɔwɔ kple wo dzi mawɔmawɔ ŋu.
See! I have set before thee, to-day, life and prosperity, —and death and calamity;
16 Mede se na mi egbea be mialɔ̃ Yehowa, miaƒe Mawu la, miazɔ le eƒe mɔwo dzi, eye mialé eƒe sewo me ɖe asi, ale be mianɔ agbe, eye miazu dukɔ gã aɖe, ekema Yehowa ayra mi le anyigba si le mia tɔ zu ge la dzi.
for thou must keep the commandments of Yahweh thy God which I am commanding thee to-day, to love Yahweh thy God, to walk in his ways, and to keep his commandments and his statutes, and his regulations, —so shalt thou live and multiply, and Yahweh thy God will bless thee, in the land which thou art entering to possess.
17 Ke ne miaƒe dzi ato mɔ bubu, miawɔ nye seawo dzi o, ne woakplɔ mi atra mɔe, eye miasubɔ mawu bubuwo la,
But, if thy heart shall turn away, and thou wilt, not hearken, —but shalt be drawn away, and shalt bow thyself down to other gods and serve them,
18 ekema mele kpe ɖom edzi na mi be miatsrɔ̃ kokoko. Mianɔ agbe wòadidi, eye wòanyo na mi le anyigba si xɔ ge miala la dzi o.
I declare unto you, to-day, that ye shall perish, —ye shall not prolong your days, upon the soil which thou art passing over the Jordan to enter and possess.
19 “Meyɔ dziƒo kple anyigba abe ɖasefowo ene ɖe mia ŋu be egbe la, metsɔ agbe kple ku, yayra kple fiƒode le mia ŋkume ɖom, eya ta anyo be miatia agbe ale be miawo kple mia viwo siaa mianɔ agbe!
I call to witness against you to-day, the heavens and the earth, that life and death, have I set before thee, the blessing and the curse, —therefore shouldest thou choose life, that thou mayest live, thou and thy seed;
20 Mitia be mialɔ̃ Yehowa, miaƒe Mawu la. Miaɖo toe, eye miaku ɖe eŋu, elabena eyae nye miaƒe agbe kple miaƒe agbemeŋkekewo ƒe agbɔsɔsɔ. Ekema miate ŋu anɔ dedie le anyigba si Yehowa do ŋugbe be yeatsɔ na mia tɔgbuiwo, Abraham, Isak kple Yakob la dzi.”
to love Yahweh thy God, to hearken unto his voice, and to cleave unto him, —for, he, is thy life, and thy length of days, that thou mayest abide upon the soil which Yahweh sware to thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac and to Jacob, to give unto them.
