Mose 5 31
1 Esi Mose wu nya siawo gbɔgblɔ nu la,
Moses [Drawn out] went and spoke these words to all Israel [God prevails].
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.
He said to them, “I am one hundred twenty years old today. I can no more go out and come in. Adonai has said to me, ‘You shall not go over this Jordan [Descender].’
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.
Adonai your God himself will go over before you. He will destroy these nations from before you, and you shall dispossess them. Joshua [Yah Salvation] will go over before you, as Adonai has spoken.
4 Yehowa atsrɔ̃ dukɔ siwo le anyigba la dzi abe ale si wòwɔ Sixɔn kple Ɔg, Amoritɔwo ƒe fiawo ene.
Adonai will do to them as he did to Sihon and to Og, the kings of the Amorites [Descendants of Talkers], and to their land; 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.
Adonai will deliver them up before you, and you shall do to them according to all the mitzvot ·instructions· I have enjoined 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 courageous. Don’t be afraid or scared of them; for Adonai your God himself is who goes with you. He will not fail you nor forsake you.”
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.
Moses [Drawn out] called to Joshua [Yah Salvation], and said to him in the sight of all Israel [God prevails], “Be strong and courageous, for you shall go with this people into the land which Adonai has sworn to their fathers to give them; and you shall 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.”
Adonai himself is who goes before you. He will be with you. He will not fail you nor forsake you. Don’t be afraid. Don’t be discouraged.”
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.
Moses [Drawn out] wrote this Torah ·Teaching·, and delivered it to the priests the sons of Levi [United with], who bore the ark of Adonai’s covenant, and to all the elders of Israel [God prevails].
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,
Moses [Drawn out] enjoined them, saying, “At the end of every seven years, in the set time of the year of release, in the festival of Sukkot ·Booths·,
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 [God prevails] has come to appear before Adonai your God in the place which he will choose, you shall read this Torah ·Teaching· before all Israel [God prevails] 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.
Assemble the people, the men and the women and the little ones, and the foreigners who are within your gates, that they may sh'ma ·hear obey·, and that they may learn, and fear Adonai your God, and observe to do all the words of this Torah ·Teaching·;
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, who have not known, may sh'ma ·hear obey·, and learn to fear Adonai your God, as long as you live in the land where you go over the Jordan [Descender] 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.
Adonai said to Moses [Drawn out], “Behold, your days approach that you must die. Call Joshua [Yah Salvation], and present yourselves in the Tent of Meeting, that I may enjoin him.” Moses [Drawn out] and Joshua [Yah Salvation] went, and presented themselves in the Tent of Meeting.
15 Yehowa ɖe eɖokui fia wo le lilikpo gã aɖe me le agbadɔ la ƒe mɔnu,
Adonai appeared in the Tent in a pillar of cloud, and the pillar of cloud stood over the Tent’s door.
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.
Adonai said to Moses [Drawn out], “Behold, you shall sleep with your fathers. This people will rise up, and play the prostitute after the strange deities of the land, where they go to be among them, and will forsake me, and break my covenant ·binding contract between two or more parties· 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 come on them; so that they will say in that day, ‘Haven’t these evils come on 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.
I will surely hide my face in that day for all the evil which they have done, in that they have turned to other deities.
19 “Azɔ la, ŋlɔ ha sia ƒe nyawo da ɖi, eye nàfia Israelviwo abe nye nuxlɔ̃ame na wo ene.
“Now therefore write this song for yourselves, and teach it to the children of Israel [God prevails]. Put it in their mouths, that this song may be a witness for me against the children of Israel [God prevails].
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 have brought them into the land which I swore to their fathers, flowing with milk and honey, and they have eaten and filled themselves, and grown fat; then they will turn to other deities, and abad ·serve· them, and despise 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.”
It will happen, when many evils and troubles have come on them, that this song will testify before them as a witness; for it will not be forgotten out of the mouths of their descendants; for I know their ways and what they are doing today, before I have brought them into the land which I swore.”
22 Ale Mose ŋlɔ ha la ƒe nyawo da ɖi, eye wòfia ha la Israelviwo.
So Moses [Drawn out] wrote this song the same day, and taught it the children of Israel [God prevails].
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.”
He enjoined Joshua [Yah Salvation] the son of Nun, and said, “Be strong and courageous; for you shall bring the children of Israel [God prevails] into the land which I swore to them. I will be with you.”
24 Esi Mose wu se siwo katã woŋlɔ ɖe agbalẽ sia me ŋɔŋlɔ nu la,
When Moses [Drawn out] had finished writing the words of this Torah ·Teaching· in a book, until they were finished,
25 eɖe gbe na Levitɔwo, ame siwo kɔa nubablaɖaka si me Se Ewoawo le la be,
Moses [Drawn out] enjoined the Levites [Descendants of United with], who bore the ark of Adonai’s covenant, saying,
26 “Mitsɔ segbalẽ sia da ɖe Yehowa miaƒe Mawu ƒe nubablaɖaka la xa, ne wòanye ŋkuɖodzinu na mi
“Take this book of the Torah ·Teaching·, and put it by the side of the ark of Adonai’s covenant your God, that it may be there for a witness against you.
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 your rebellion, and your stiff neck. Behold, while I am yet alive with you today, you have been rebellious against Adonai. 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.
Assemble to 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 witness 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 you will utterly corrupt yourselves, and turn aside from the way which I have enjoined you; and evil will happen to you in the latter days; because you will do what Adonai sees as evil and provoke him to anger by your deeds.”
30 Le esia megbe la, Mose gblɔ ha sia me nyawo katã na Israelviwo ƒe ha blibo la be:
Moses [Drawn out] spoke in the ears of all the assembly of Israel [God prevails] the words of this song, until they were finished.
