Mose 5 31

1 Esi Mose wu nya siawo gbɔgblɔ nu la,

And Moses went and spake these words unto 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 he said unto them, I am an hundred and twenty years old this day; I can no more go out and come in: also Yhwh hath said unto me, Thou shalt not go over this Jordan.

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.

Yhwh thy God, he will go over before thee, and he will destroy these nations from before thee, and thou shalt possess them: and Joshua, he shall go over before thee, as Yhwh hath said.

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

And Yhwh shall do unto them as he did to Sihon and to Og, kings of the Amorites, and unto the land of them, whom 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 Yhwh shall give them up before your face, that ye may do unto them according unto all the commandments which I have commanded 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.”

Be strong and of a good courage, fear not, nor be afraid of them: for Yhwh thy God, he it is that doth go with thee; he will not fail 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 unto Joshua, and said unto him in the sight of all Israel, Be strong and of a good courage: for thou must go with this people unto the land which Yhwh hath sworn unto their fathers to give them; and thou shalt cause them to inherit it.

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 Yhwh, he it is that doth go before thee; he will be with thee, he will not fail thee, neither forsake thee: fear not, neither be dismayed.

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 law, and delivered it unto the priests the sons of Levi, which bare the ark of the covenant of Yhwh, and unto 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, At the end of every seven years, in the solemnity of the year of release, in the feast of 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 is come to appear before Yhwh thy God in the place which he shall choose, thou shalt read this law before all Israel in their hearing.

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 hear, and that they may learn, and fear Yhwh your God, and observe to do all the words of this law:

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 have not known any thing, may hear, and learn to fear Yhwh your God, as long as ye live in the land whither ye go over Jordan to possess 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.

And Yhwh said unto Moses, Behold, thy days approach that thou must die: call Joshua, and present yourselves in the tabernacle of the congregation, that I may give him a charge. And Moses and Joshua went, and presented themselves in the tabernacle of the congregation.

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

And Yhwh appeared in the tabernacle in a pillar of a cloud: and the pillar of the cloud stood over the door 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 Yhwh said unto Moses, Behold, thou shalt sleep with thy fathers; and this people will rise up, and go a whoring after the gods of the strangers of the land, whither they go to be among them, and will forsake me, and break my covenant which I have 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!’

Then my anger shall be kindled against them in that day, and I will forsake them, and I will hide my face from them, and they shall be devoured, and many evils and troubles shall befall them; so that they will say in that day, Are not these evils come upon us, because our God is not among us?

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

And I will surely hide my face in that day for all the evils which they shall have wrought, in that they are turned unto 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 mouths, that this song may be a witness for me 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 when I shall have brought them into the land which I sware unto their fathers, that floweth with milk and honey; and they shall have eaten and filled themselves, and waxen fat; then will they turn unto other gods, and serve them, and provoke me, and break my covenant.

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 it shall come to pass, when many evils and troubles are befallen them, that this song shall testify against them as a witness; for it shall not be forgotten out of the mouths of their seed: for I know their imagination which they go about, even now, before I have brought them into the land 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 he gave Joshua the son of Nun a charge, and said, Be strong and of a good courage: for thou shalt bring the children of Israel into the land which I sware unto them: and I will be with thee.

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

And it came to pass, when Moses had made an end of writing the words of this law in a book, until they were finished,

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

That Moses commanded the Levites, which bare the ark of the covenant of Yhwh, saying,

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

Take this book of the law, and put it in the side of the ark of the covenant of Yhwh your God, that it may be there for a witness 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 know thy rebellion, and thy stiff neck: behold, while I am yet alive with you this day, ye have been rebellious against Yhwh; and how much more 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 unto me all the elders of your tribes, and your officers, that I may speak these words in their ears, and call heaven and earth to record 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 know that after my death ye will utterly corrupt yourselves, and turn aside from the way which I have commanded you; and evil will befall you in the latter days; because ye will do evil in the sight of Yhwh, to provoke him to anger through the work of your hands.

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

And Moses spake in the ears of all the congregation of Israel the words of this song, until they were ended.
