Mose 5 32
1 Miɖo to, o, dziƒo kple anyigba! Miɖo to nye nyawo!
Give ear, O you heavens, and I will speak; and hear, O earth, the words of my mouth.
2 Nye nyawo adza ɖe mia dzi abe tsi kple zãmu ene, abe tsidzadza ɖe gbe bɔbɔe dzi ene, abe gbafie le togbɛwo ŋu ene.
My doctrine shall drop as the rain, my speech shall distil as the dew, as the small rain on the tender herb, and as the showers on the grass:
3 Maɖe gbeƒã Yehowa ƒe gãnyenye ŋutikɔkɔe gã ŋutɔ le eŋu!
Because I will publish the name of the LORD: ascribe you greatness to our God.
4 Eyae nye Agakpe la. Eƒe dɔ de blibo eƒe wɔnawo katã nyo, eye wodze. Mawu wɔa nuteƒe, eye vɔ̃ mele eŋu o.
He is the Rock, his work is perfect: for all his ways are judgment: a God of truth and without iniquity, just and right is he.
5 Ke Israel gblẽ: nu vɔ̃ blibae. Meganye Mawu tɔ o. Ezu dukɔ kɔlialiatɔ kple dzidzime gɔglɔ̃.
They have corrupted themselves, their spot is not the spot of his children: they are a perverse and crooked generation.
6 Nu siae nàwɔ ɖe Yehowa ŋua? O! Dukɔ si me abunɛtɔwo le. Ɖe menye Mawue nye fofowò oa? Menye eyae wɔ wò oa? Ɖe meɖo gɔwòme anyi, hena ŋusẽ wò oa?
Do you thus requite the LORD, O foolish people and unwise? is not he your father that has bought you? has he not made you, and established you?
7 Ɖo ŋku gbe aɖe gbe ʋĩi dzi! Bia fofowòwo kple amegãxoxowo, woagblɔ nya sia nya na wò.
Remember the days of old, consider the years of many generations: ask your father, and he will show you; your elders, and they will tell you.
8 Mawu, dziƒoʋĩtɔ la, ma xexea me ɖe dukɔwo dome ena mawudɔla ɖeka dukɔ ɖe sia ɖe be wòanye dzikpɔla nɛ.
When the Most High divided to the nations their inheritance, when he separated the sons of Adam, he set the bounds of the people according to the number of the children of Israel.
9 Ke mena mawudɔla aɖeke Israel o, elabena Israel nye Yehowa ŋutɔ tɔ!
For the LORD’s portion is his people; Jacob is the lot of his inheritance.
10 Yehowa kpɔ eta le gbedadaƒo afi si gbemelãwo le xɔxlɔ̃m le eɖee tso lã wɔadãwo ƒe asi me abe eƒe ŋkuviwoe wònye ene.
He found him in a desert land, and in the waste howling wilderness; he led him about, he instructed him, he kept him as the apple of his eye.
11 Ekeke eƒe aʋala ɖe edzi abe ale si hɔ̃ wɔna na viawo, kɔa wo ɖe eƒe aʋalã dzi, abe ale si Yehowa wɔna na viawo ene!
As an eagle stirs up her nest, flutters over her young, spreads abroad her wings, takes them, bears them on her wings:
12 Yehowa ɖeka koe nɔ ekplɔm mawu bubu aɖeke mekpe ɖe eŋu o.
So the LORD alone did lead him, and there was no strange god with him.
13 Etsɔ tonyigba nyonuwo nɛ kpe ɖe anyigba sɔsɔe nyonuku ŋu ena anyitsii tso agakpe me amii tso kpenyigba me!
He made him ride on the high places of the earth, that he might eat the increase of the fields; and he made him to suck honey out of the rock, and oil out of the flinty rock;
14 Ena notsi kple lãe agbotsuwo kple gbɔ̃ damiwo Basantɔwo ƒe agbotsuwo kple gbɔ̃wo, Ena bli doku nyuitɔe Ena wòno wain nyuitɔ.
Butter of cows, and milk of sheep, with fat of lambs, and rams of the breed of Bashan, and goats, with the fat of kidneys of wheat; and you did drink the pure blood of the grape.
15 Ke sẽe ko la, Yesurun ɖu nu ɖi ƒo, ɛ̃, ekpɔ lãme, da ami heklã. Tete wògbe nu le eƒe Mawu la gbɔ eɖe asi le eƒe xɔxɔ ƒe Agakpe la ŋu.
But Jeshurun waxed fat, and kicked: you are waxen fat, you are grown thick, you are covered with fatness; then he forsook God which made him, and lightly esteemed the Rock of his salvation.
16 Edo dɔmedzoe ŋutɔ ɖe woƒe dzromawuwo subɔsubɔ ta; eʋã ŋu ɖe eƒe dukɔ ta.
They provoked him to jealousy with strange gods, with abominations provoked they him to anger.
17 Israel sa vɔ na trɔ̃wo, siwo menye Mawu o mawu siwo womesubɔ kpɔ o, mawu siwo meli tsã o mawu siwo medzi ŋɔ na mia fofowo o.
They sacrificed to devils, not to God; to gods whom they knew not, to new gods that came newly up, whom your fathers feared not.
18 Eɖe kɔ ɖa le Agakpe si wɔe la ŋu ŋlɔ be be Mawue wɔ ye.
Of the Rock that begat you you are unmindful, and have forgotten God that formed you.
19 Yehowa kpɔ nu si wɔm Israel le; elé fu Israel ŋutɔŋutɔ. Via ŋutsuwo kple via nyɔnuwo do vloe.
And when the LORD saw it, he abhorred them, because of the provoking of his sons, and of his daughters.
20 Eye wògblɔ be, “Magblẽ wò ɖi nàkpɔ nu si adzɔ ɖe dziwò ɖa; ènye dzidzime si liaa kɔ Mawudzixɔse mele mewò o.
And he said, I will hide my face from them, I will see what their end shall be: for they are a very fraudulent generation, children in whom is no faith.
21 Wona meʋã ŋu woƒe legbawo ŋutɔ, legba siwo menye mawuwo kura o. Nye hã mana woaʋã ŋu dukɔ si menye dukɔ o la. Mana miado dɔmedzoe ɖe dukɔ si mesea nu gɔme o la ŋu.
They have moved me to jealousy with that which is not God; they have provoked me to anger with their vanities: and I will move them to jealousy with those which are not a people; I will provoke them to anger with a foolish nation.
22 Elabena nye dɔmedzoe do dzo aɖe si bina dea anyigba ƒe tume ke. Ebia anyigba kple eƒe nukuwo katã, eye wòtɔa dzo towo. (Sheol h7585)
For a fire is kindled in my anger, and shall burn to the lowest hell, and shall consume the earth with her increase, and set on fire the foundations of the mountains. (Sheol h7585)
23 “Mali ke dzɔgbevɔ̃e ɖe edzi matee kple nye aŋutrɔ aƒu anyi.
I will heap mischiefs on them; I will spend my arrows on them.
24 Mana dɔwuame, ŋudza kple kudɔ nana agbe navɔ le eŋu. Matsrɔ̃e! Madɔ lã wɔadãwo ɖa, woavuvui kple aɖu. Madɔ da aɖivɔ̃ siwo tana la ɖe wo dome kple aɖi siamewo.
They shall be burnt with hunger, and devoured with burning heat, and with bitter destruction: I will also send the teeth of beasts on them, with the poison of serpents of the dust.
25 Futɔwo ƒe yiwo le dua godo, eye ŋɔdzi alé ame le xɔ me. Adzi ŋɔ na ɖekakpuiwo kple ɖetugbiwo, na vi nonowo kple amegãɖeɖiwo.
The sword without, and terror within, shall destroy both the young man and the virgin, the suckling also with the man of gray hairs.
26 Maka eƒe amewo ahlẽ ale be ame aɖeke magaɖo ŋku wo dzi gɔ̃ hã o.
I said, I would scatter them into corners, I would make the remembrance of them to cease from among men:
27 Ke mebu eŋu hekpɔ be, Nye futɔwo aƒo adegbe be, ‘Míawo ŋutɔ ƒe ŋusẽe ɖu Israel dzi; Menye Yehowae wɔ esia o!’”
Were it not that I feared the wrath of the enemy, lest their adversaries should behave themselves strangely, and lest they should say, Our hand is high, and the LORD has not done all this.
28 Israel nye abunɛdukɔ aɖe bometsitsi ɖe nunya le tagbɔ nɛ.
For they are a nation void of counsel, neither is there any understanding in them.
29 O! Nunyalawo woanye hafi anye ne woase nu gɔme; anye ne woanya nu tso nu si me woɖo tae la ŋu!
O that they were wise, that they understood this, that they would consider their latter end!
30 Aleke wɔ futɔ ɖeka pɛ anya wo dometɔ akpe ɖeka eye futɔ eve ko nanya akpe ewo? Ne menye woƒe Agakpee ɖe asi le wo ŋu, eye Yehowa ŋutɔe tsrɔ̃ wo o?
How should one chase a thousand, and two put ten thousand to flight, except their Rock had sold them, and the LORD had shut them up?
31 Ke dukɔ bubuawo ƒe agakpe mele abe míaƒe Agakpe la ene o; gbedodoɖa na woƒe mawuwo nye nu dzodzro ko!
For their rock is not as our Rock, even our enemies themselves being judges.
32 Woƒe wainkawo nye Sodom wainkawo eye Gomora gblewo me wotso. Woƒe waintsetse nye aɖi, eye wo me tsi vena.
For their vine is of the vine of Sodom, and of the fields of Gomorrah: their grapes are grapes of gall, their clusters are bitter:
33 Woƒe wainwo nye da ƒe aɖiwo kple ƒli ƒe veve.
Their wine is the poison of dragons, and the cruel venom of asps.
34 Ke Israel nye dukɔ tɔxɛ; metre enu abe kpe xɔasiwo ene ɖe nye nudzraɖoƒe.
Is not this laid up in store with me, and sealed up among my treasures?
35 Tɔnyee nye hlɔ̃biabia. Ɣeyiɣi hena nye tohehe eƒe futɔwo ɖo woƒe afɔwo ada; elabena woƒe tsɔtsrɔ̃ɣi ɖo!
To me belongs vengeance and recompense; their foot shall slide in due time: for the day of their calamity is at hand, and the things that shall come on them make haste.
36 Yehowa axɔ na eƒe dukɔ, ne ekpɔ be ŋusẽ vɔ le eŋu. Ave ame siwo subɔnɛ la nu ne ekpɔ be wɔna mele wo ŋu o.
For the LORD shall judge his people, and repent himself for his servants, when he sees that their power is gone, and there is none shut up, or left.
37 Ekema Mawu abia be, Afi ka woƒe mawuwo le? Agakpe siwo wobu abe sitsoƒe ene ɖe?
And he shall say, Where are their gods, their rock in whom they trusted,
38 Afi ka mawu siwo wosaa vɔ na kple lãmi kple wain le azɔ? Mina mawu siawo natsi tsitre, axɔ na wo!
Which did eat the fat of their sacrifices, and drank the wine of their drink offerings? let them rise up and help you, and be your protection.
39 Miekpɔ be nye koe nye Mawu oa? Mewua ame, eye menaa agbe ame. Medea abi ame ŋu, eye mewua abi. Ame aɖeke mate ŋu atsi tsitre Ɖe nu si mewɔ la ŋu o.
See now that I, even I, am he, and there is no god with me: I kill, and I make alive; I wound, and I heal: neither is there any that can deliver out of my hand.
40 Zi ale si wònye nyee Nye Mawu gbagbe la la, Mekɔ asi dzi, ɖe adzɔgbe
For I lift up my hand to heaven, and say, I live for ever.
41 be manyre nye yi dadzo la, Makpɔ be dzɔdzɔenyenye xɔ aƒe. Mabia hlɔ̃ nye futɔwo ahe to na ame siwo lé fum.
If I whet my glittering sword, and my hand take hold on judgment; I will render vengeance to my enemies, and will reward them that hate me.
42 Woƒe ʋu atsyɔ le aŋutrɔ ŋu nye yi awu ame siwo katã tso ɖe ŋunye. Nyemakpɔ nublanui na ame siwo wɔa aʋa kplim o; abixɔlawo kple gamenɔlawo gɔ̃ hã aku.
I will make my arrows drunk with blood, and my sword shall devour flesh; and that with the blood of the slain and of the captives, from the beginning of revenges on the enemy.
43 Dukɔwo, mikafu Yehowa ƒe amewo, ehea to na eƒe amewo wulawo; ebiaa hlɔ̃ eƒe futɔwo etsɔa nu vɔ̃ kea eƒe amewo.
Rejoice, O you nations, with his people: for he will avenge the blood of his servants, and will render vengeance to his adversaries, and will be merciful to his land, and to his people.
44 Mose kple Yosua, Nun ƒe viŋutsu la, gblɔ ha sia me nyawo ale be Israelviwo nate ŋu ase wo.
And Moses came and spoke all the words of this song in the ears of the people, he, and Hoshea the son of Nun.
45 Esi Mose wu Mawu ƒe seawo fiafia Israel dukɔ blibo la nu vɔ la,
And Moses made an end of speaking all these words to all Israel:
46 egblɔ na wo be, “Mide ŋugble le se siwo katã mede na mi egbe la ŋuti, eye miade wo asi na mia viwo.
And he said to them, Set your hearts to all the words which I testify among you this day, which you shall command your children to observe to do, all the words of this law.
47 Se siawo menye nya ƒuƒluwo ko o. Woawoe nye miaƒe agbe! Ne miewɔ ɖe se siawo dzi la, mianɔ agbe didi, eye nuwo adze edzi na mi nyuie le anyigba si xɔ ge mieyina le Yɔdan tɔsisi la godo la dzi.”
For it is not a vain thing for you; because it is your life: and through this thing you shall prolong your days in the land, where you go over Jordan to possess it.
48 Yehowa gblɔ na Mose gbe ma gbe ke be,
And the LORD spoke to Moses that selfsame day, saying,
49 “Yi Nebo to la dzi le Abarim towo dome le Moabnyigba dzi le Yeriko kasa. Yi to la tame ke, eye nàkpɔ Kanaanyigba la, anyigba si mele tsɔtsɔm na Israelviwo la ɖa.
Get you up into this mountain Abarim, to mount Nebo, which is in the land of Moab, that is over against Jericho; and behold the land of Canaan, which I give to the children of Israel for a possession:
50 Ne èkpɔ anyigba la ɖa la, ele na wò be nàku, eye nàyi tɔgbuiwòwo gbɔ abe ale si nɔviwò Aron ku le Hor to la dzi, eye wòyi tɔgbuiawo gbɔe ene,
And die in the mount where you go up, and be gathered to your people; as Aaron your brother died in mount Hor, and was gathered to his people:
51 esi nèklo bubu le ŋunye le Israelviwo dome le Meriba Kades le Zin gbedzi la ta.
Because you trespassed against me among the children of Israel at the waters of MeribahKadesh, in the wilderness of Zin; because you sanctified me not in the middle of the children of Israel.
52 Àkpɔ anyigba si mele tsɔtsɔm na Israelviwo la ɖa tso adzɔge, gake màde anyigba la dzi o.”
Yet you shall see the land before you; but you shall not go thither to the land which I give the children of Israel.
