Mose 5 31

1 Esi Mose wu nya siawo gbɔgblɔ nu la,

Then Moses went and spake these wordes vnto all Israel,

2 egagblɔ na ameawo be, “Fifia mexɔ ƒe alafa ɖeka kple blaeve. Ŋutete megale ŋunye be mado go, eye magava eme o, elabena Yehowa gblɔ nam be nyematso Yɔdan tɔsisi la o.

And said vnto them, I am an hundreth and twentie yeere olde this day: I can no more goe out and in: also the Lord hath saide vnto me, Thou shalt not goe ouer this Iorden.

3 Ke Yehowa miaƒe Mawu ŋutɔ akplɔ mi, atsrɔ̃ dukɔ siwo le anyigba la dzi, eye miaɖu wo dzi. Yosua nye miaƒe kplɔla yeye la abe ale si Yehowa do ŋugbe ene.

The Lord thy God he will go ouer before thee: he will destroy these nations before thee, and thou shalt possesse them. Ioshua, he shall goe before thee, as the Lord hath said.

4 Yehowa atsrɔ̃ dukɔ siwo le anyigba la dzi abe ale si wòwɔ Sixɔn kple Ɔg, Amoritɔwo ƒe fiawo ene.

And the Lord shall doe vnto them, as he did to Sihon and to Og Kings of the Amorites: and vnto their lande whome he destroyed.

5 Yehowa atsɔ ame siwo le anyigba la dzi la ade asi na mi, eye miatsrɔ̃ wo abe ale si meɖo na mi ene.

And the Lord shall giue them before you that ye may do vnto them according vnto euery commandement, which I haue comanded you.

6 Misẽ ŋu! Dzi nanɔ mia ƒo! Migavɔ̃ o, elabena Yehowa, miaƒe Mawu la anɔ kpli mi. Mada le eƒe nya dzi o, eye magblẽ mi ɖi hã o.”

Plucke vp your hearts therefore, and be strong: dread not, nor be afraid of them: for the Lord thy God him selfe doeth goe with thee: he will not faile thee, nor forsake thee.

7 Mose yɔ Yosua hegblɔ nɛ le Israelviwo katã ŋkume be, “Kpɔ ŋusẽ! Lé dzi ɖe ƒo, elabena wòe akplɔ ame siawo ayi anyigba si ŋugbe Yehowa do na wo tɔgbuiwo la dzi. Kpɔ egbɔ be woxɔ anyigba la.

And Moses called Ioshua, and said vnto him in the sight of all Israel, Be of a good courage and strong: for thou shalt go with this people vnto the lande which the Lord hath sworne vnto their fathers, to giue them, and thou shalt giue it them to inherite.

8 Mègavɔ̃ o, elabena Yehowa adze ŋgɔ na wò, anɔ kpli wò, mada le eƒe nya dzi o, eye magblẽ wò ɖi hã o.”

And the Lord him selfe doeth go before thee: he will be with thee: he will not faile thee, neither forsake thee: feare not therefore, nor be discomforted.

9 Le esia megbe la, Mose ŋlɔ se siwo wòde na ameawo la, eye wòtsɔ wo na nunɔlawo, Levitɔwo, ame siwo kɔa nubablaɖaka si me Yehowa ƒe Se Ewoawo le. Mose tsɔ se siwo wòŋlɔ la na Israel ƒe ametsitsiwo hã.

And Moses wrote this Lawe, and deliuered it vnto the Priestes the sonnes of Leui (which bare the Arke of the couenant of the Lord) and vnto all the Elders of Israel,

10 Mose bia tso wo si be, “Le ƒe adre ɖe sia ɖe ƒe nuwuwu, ɣeyiɣi si woɖo da ɖi be woatsɔ fewo ake, le Agbadɔmenɔŋkekenyui dzi,

And Moses commanded them, saying, Euery seuenth yeere when the yeere of freedome shalbe in the feast of the Tabernacles:

11 esime Israelviwo katã ado ɖe Yehowa, Mawu ŋkume le teƒe si eya ŋutɔ atia la, ele be nàxlẽ se siawo na Israelviwo katã woase.”

When all Israel shall come to appeare before the Lord thy God, in the place which he shall chuse, thou shalt reade this Lawe before all Israel that they may heare it.

12 Mose yi edzi be, “Yɔ ameawo katã ƒo ƒu, ŋutsuwo, nyɔnuwo, ɖeviwo kple amedzro siwo le mia dome, be woase Yehowa ƒe seawo, eye woasrɔ̃ eƒe lɔlɔ̃nu, ale be miavɔ̃ Yehowa, miaƒe Mawu la, eye miawɔ ɖe eƒe seawo dzi.

Gather the people together: men, and women, and children, and thy stranger that is within thy gates, that they may heare, and that they may learne, and feare the Lord your God, and keepe and obserue all the wordes of this Lawe,

13 Wɔ esia ale be miaƒe ɖevi sue siwo menya se siawo o la, woase wo, eye woasrɔ̃ ale si woavɔ̃ Yehowa, miaƒe Mawu la ŋkeke ale si mianɔ ŋugbedodonyigba la dzi.”

And that their children which haue not knowen it, may heare it, and learne to feare the Lord your God, as long as ye liue in the lande, whither ye goe ouer Iorden to possesse it.

14 Tete Yehowa gblɔ na Mose be, “Ɣeyiɣi si wòle na wò be nàku la ɖo. Yɔ Yosua, miava Agbadɔ la me, eye magblɔ eƒe dɔdeasiwo nɛ.” Ale Mose kple Yosua wova tsi tsitre ɖe Yehowa ŋkume.

Then the Lord saide vnto Moses, Beholde, thy dayes are come, that thou must die: Call Ioshua, and stande ye in the Tabernacle of the Congregation that I may giue him a charge. So Moses and Ioshua went, and stoode in the Tabernacle of the Congregation.

15 Yehowa ɖe eɖokui fia wo le lilikpo gã aɖe me le agbadɔ la ƒe mɔnu,

And the Lord appeared in the Tabernacle, in the pillar of a cloude: and the pillar of the cloude stoode ouer the doore of the Tabernacle.

16 eye wògblɔ na Mose be, “Ele na wò be nàku, eye nàyi tɔgbuiwòwo gbɔ. Le wò ku megbe la, ame siawo ade asi mawu siwo le ŋugbedodonyigba la dzi la subɔsubɔ me. Woaŋlɔm be ale woagblẽ nubabla si mewɔ kple wo la me.

And the Lord said vnto Moses, Behold, thou shalt sleepe with thy fathers, and this people will rise vp, and goe a whoring after the gods of a strange land (whither they goe to dwell therein) and will forsake me, and breake my couenant which I haue made with them.

17 Ekema nye dɔmedzoe abi ɖe wo ŋu, maɖe asi le wo ŋu, maɣla nye ŋkume ɖe wo, eye matsrɔ̃ wo. Nya sesẽ, dziŋɔwo adzɔ ɖe wo dzi, eye woagblɔ be, ‘Mawu megale mía dome o!’

Wherefore my wrath will waxe hote against them at that day, and I will forsake them, and will hide my face from them: then they shalbe consumed, and many aduersities and tribulations shall come vpon them: so then they will say, Are not these troubles come vpon me, because God is not with me?

18 Magbugbɔ le wo yome le woƒe nu vɔ̃ siwo wowɔ to mawu bubuwo subɔsubɔ me la ta.

But I will surely hide my face in that day, because of all the euill, which they shall commit, in that they are turned vnto other gods.

19 “Azɔ la, ŋlɔ ha sia ƒe nyawo da ɖi, eye nàfia Israelviwo abe nye nuxlɔ̃ame na wo ene.

Now therefore write ye this song for you, and teach it the children of Israel: put it in their mouthes, that this song may be my witnesse against the children of Israel.

20 Ne mekplɔ wo va ɖo anyigba si ŋugbe medo na wo tɔgbuiwo dzi, anyigba si dzi ‘notsi kple anyitsi bɔ ɖo,’ ne wokpɔ lãme, nuwo nyo na wo, wosubɔ mawu bubuwo, do vlom, gblẽ nye nubabla kpli wo me,

For I will bring them into the land (which I sware vnto their fathers) that floweth with milke and honie, and they shall eate, and fil them selues, and waxe fat: then shall they turne vnto other gods, and serue them, and contemne me, and breake my couenant.

21 eye dzɔgbevɔ̃e gãwo dzɔ ɖe wo dzi la, ekema ha sia aɖo ŋku nu si he dzɔgbevɔ̃e va wo dzii la dzi na wo. Ha sia anɔ anyi tso dzidzime yi dzidzime. Menya dukɔ si tɔgbi wonye xoxo, hafi woava ɖo anyigba la dzi gɔ̃ hã.”

And then when many aduersities and tribulations shall come vpon them, this song shall answere them to their face as a witnesse: for it shall not be forgotte out of the mouthes of their posteritie: for I knowe their imagination, which they goe about euen now, before I haue brought them into the lande which I sware.

22 Ale Mose ŋlɔ ha la ƒe nyawo da ɖi, eye wòfia ha la Israelviwo.

Moses therefore wrote this song the same day and taught it the children of Israel.

23 Ede dzi ƒo na Yosua, Nun ƒe viŋutsu la be, “Sẽ ŋu eye nalé dzi ɖe ƒo elabena wòe akplɔ Israelviwo ayi anyigba si ŋugbe medo na wo la dzi, eye nye ŋutɔ manɔ kpli wò.”

And God gaue Ioshua the sonne of Nun a charge, and said, Be strong, and of a good courage: for thou shalt bring the children of Israel into the lande, which I sware vnto them, and I will be with thee.

24 Esi Mose wu se siwo katã woŋlɔ ɖe agbalẽ sia me ŋɔŋlɔ nu la,

And when Moses had made an ende of writing the wordes of this Lawe in a booke vntill he had finished them,

25 eɖe gbe na Levitɔwo, ame siwo kɔa nubablaɖaka si me Se Ewoawo le la be,

Then Moses commanded the Leuites, which bare the Arke of the couenant of the Lord, saying,

26 “Mitsɔ segbalẽ sia da ɖe Yehowa miaƒe Mawu ƒe nubablaɖaka la xa, ne wòanye ŋkuɖodzinu na mi

Take the booke of this Lawe, and put ye it in the side of the Arke of the couenant of the Lord your God, that it may be there for a witnes against thee.

27 elabena menya miaƒe tosesẽ kple kɔlialiatɔnyenye. Ne egbe si mele mia gbɔ gɔ̃ hã mienye aglãdzelawo ɖe Yehowa ŋu la, aleke gbegbe miaganye aglãdzelawo wu le nye ku megbe?

For I knowe thy rebellion and thy stiffe necke: beholde, I being yet aliue with you this day, ye are rebellious against the Lord: howe much more then after my death?

28 Azɔ la, miyɔ miaƒe ametsitsiwo kple miaƒe towo ƒe kplɔlawo katã ƒo ƒu, ale be mate ŋu aƒo nu na wo, eye mayɔ dziƒo kple anyigba abe ɖasefowo ene ɖe wo ŋu.

Gather vnto me all the Elders of your tribes, and your officers, that I may speake these wordes in their audience, and call heauen and earth to recorde against them.

29 Menya be le nye ku megbe la, miagblẽ kɔ ɖo na mia ɖokuiwo keŋkeŋ, eye miaɖe asi le Mawu kple eƒe seawo ŋu. Ale le ŋkeke siwo gbɔna me la, dzɔgbevɔ̃e adzɔ ɖe mia dzi, elabena miawɔ nu si Yehowa gblɔ be enye nu vɔ̃, eye miado dɔmedzoe nɛ vevie.”

For I am sure that after my death ye will vtterly be corrupt and turne from the way, which I haue commanded you: therefore euill will come vpon you at the length, because ye will comit euill in the sight of the Lord, by prouoking him to anger through the worke of your hands.

30 Le esia megbe la, Mose gblɔ ha sia me nyawo katã na Israelviwo ƒe ha blibo la be:

Thus Moses spake in the audience of all the congregation of Israel the wordes of this song, vntill he had ended them.
