< 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,
It shall happen, when all these things have come on you, the blessing and the curse, which I have set before you, and you shall call them to mind among all the nations where Yahweh your God has driven you,
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 return to Yahweh your God and obey his voice according to all that I command you today, you and your children, with all your heart and with all your 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.
that then Yahweh your God will release you from captivity, have compassion on you, and will return and gather you from all the peoples where Yahweh your God has scattered you.
4 Togbɔ be mianɔ anyigba ƒe mlɔenu ke hã la, ayi aɖadi mi, eye wòagakplɔ mi va
If your outcasts are in the uttermost parts of the heavens, from there Yahweh your God will gather you, and from there he will bring you back.
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.
Yahweh your God will bring you into the land which your fathers possessed, and you will possess it. He will do you good, and increase your numbers more than your 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.
Yahweh your God will circumcise your heart, and the heart of your offspring, to love Yahweh your God with all your heart and with all your soul, that you may 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.
Yahweh your God will put all these curses on your enemies and on those who hate you, who persecuted you.
8 Ke miawo la, ele na mi be miatrɔ va Yehowa gbɔ, eye miawɔ eƒe se siwo katã mede na mi egbe la dzi.
You shall return and obey Yahweh’s voice, and do all his commandments which I command you today.
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.
Yahweh your God will make you prosperous in all the work of your hand, in the fruit of your body, in the fruit of your livestock, and in the fruit of your ground, for good; for Yahweh will again rejoice over you for good, as he rejoiced over your 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 you will obey Yahweh your God’s voice, to keep his commandments and his statutes which are written in this book of the law, if you turn to Yahweh your God with all your heart and with all your soul.
11 “Menye ɖe se siwo dem mele na mi egbea la dzi wɔwɔ mele miaƒe ŋutete me o,
For this commandment which I command you today is not too hard for you or too distant.
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 heaven, that you should say, “Who will go up for us to heaven, bring it to us, and proclaim it to us, that we may 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 beyond the sea, that you should say, “Who will go over the sea for us, bring it to us, and proclaim it to us, that we may 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 the word is very near to you, in your mouth and in your heart, that you may 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.
Behold, I have set before you today life and prosperity, and death and evil.
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 I command you today to love Yahweh your God, to walk in his ways and to keep his commandments, his statutes, and his ordinances, that you may live and multiply, and that Yahweh your God may bless you in the land where you go in to possess it.
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 your heart turns away, and you will not hear, but are drawn away and worship 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 to you today that you will surely perish. You will not prolong your days in the land where you pass over the Jordan to go in to possess it.
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 heaven and earth to witness against you today that I have set before you life and death, the blessing and the curse. Therefore choose life, that you may live, you and your descendants,
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 your God, to obey his voice, and to cling to him; for he is your life, and the length of your days, that you may dwell in the land which Yahweh swore to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give them.
