Mose 5 32
1 Miɖo to, o, dziƒo kple anyigba! Miɖo to nye nyawo!
Attend, O heaven, and I will speak; and let the earth hear the words out 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.
Let my speech be looked for as the rain, and my words come down as dew, as the shower upon the herbage, and as snow upon the grass.
3 Maɖe gbeƒã Yehowa ƒe gãnyenye ŋutikɔkɔe gã ŋutɔ le eŋu!
For I have called on the name of the Lord: assign 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.
[As for God], his works [are] true, and all his ways [are] judgment: God [is] faithful, and there is no unrighteousness [in him]; just and holy [is] the Lord.
5 Ke Israel gblẽ: nu vɔ̃ blibae. Meganye Mawu tɔ o. Ezu dukɔ kɔlialiatɔ kple dzidzime gɔglɔ̃.
They have sinned, not [pleasing] him; spotted children, a froward and perverse 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 recompense the Lord? [is the] people thus foolish and unwise? did not he himself your father purchase you, and make you, and form 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 for past ages: ask your father, and he shall relate to you, your elders, and they shall 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 the nations, when he separated the sons of Adam, he set the bounds of the nations according to the number of the angels of God.
9 Ke mena mawudɔla aɖeke Israel o, elabena Israel nye Yehowa ŋutɔ tɔ!
And his people Jacob became the portion of the Lord, Israel was the line 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 maintained him in the wilderness, in burning thirst and a dry land: he led him about and instructed him, and kept him as the apple of an 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 would watch over his brood, and yearns over his young, receives them having spread his wings, and takes them up on his back:
12 Yehowa ɖeka koe nɔ ekplɔm mawu bubu aɖeke mekpe ɖe eŋu o.
the Lord alone led them, there was no strange god with them.
13 Etsɔ tonyigba nyonuwo nɛ kpe ɖe anyigba sɔsɔe nyonuku ŋu ena anyitsii tso agakpe me amii tso kpenyigba me!
He brought them up on the strength of the land; he fed them with the fruits of the fields; they sucked honey out of the rock, and oil out of the solid 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 the fat of lambs and rams, of calves and kids, with fat of kidneys of wheat; and he drank wine, the 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.
So Jacob ate and was filled, and the beloved one kicked; he grew fat, he became thick and broad: then he forsook the God that made him, and departed from God his Saviour.
16 Edo dɔmedzoe ŋutɔ ɖe woƒe dzromawuwo subɔsubɔ ta; eʋã ŋu ɖe eƒe dukɔ ta.
They provoked me to anger with strange gods; with their abominations they bitterly angered me.
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, and not to God; to gods whom they knew not: new and fresh [gods] came in, whom their fathers knew not.
18 Eɖe kɔ ɖa le Agakpe si wɔe la ŋu ŋlɔ be be Mawue wɔ ye.
You have forsaken God that begot you, and forgotten God who feeds you.
19 Yehowa kpɔ nu si wɔm Israel le; elé fu Israel ŋutɔŋutɔ. Via ŋutsuwo kple via nyɔnuwo do vloe.
And the Lord saw, and was jealous; and was provoked by the anger of his sons and 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 said, I will turn away my face from them, and will show what shall happen to them in the last days; for it is a perverse generation, sons 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 provoked me to jealousy with [that which is] not God, they have exasperated me with their idols; and I will provoke them to jealousy with them that are no nation, I will anger them with a nation void of understanding.
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 has been kindled out of my wrath, it shall burn to hell below; it shall devour the land, and the fruits of it; it shall set on fire the foundations of the mountains. (Sheol h7585)
23 “Mali ke dzɔgbevɔ̃e ɖe edzi matee kple nye aŋutrɔ aƒu anyi.
I will gather evils upon them, and will fight with my weapons against 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] consumed with hunger and the devouring of birds, and there shall be irremediable destruction: I will send forth against them the teeth of wild beasts, with the rage of [serpents] creeping on the ground.
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.
Without, the sword shall bereave them of children, and terror [shall issue] out of the secret chambers; the young man shall perish with the virgin, the suckling with him who has grown old.
26 Maka eƒe amewo ahlẽ ale be ame aɖeke magaɖo ŋku wo dzi gɔ̃ hã o.
I said, I will scatter them, and I will cause their memorial 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 for the wrath of the enemy, lest they should live long, lest their enemies should combine against them; lest they should say, Our own high arm, and not the Lord, has done all these things.
28 Israel nye abunɛdukɔ aɖe bometsitsi ɖe nunya le tagbɔ nɛ.
It is a nation that has lost counsel, neither is there 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!
They had not sense to understand: let them reserve these things against the time to come.
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 pursue a thousand, and two rout tens of thousands, if God had not sold them, and the Lord delivered 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 gods are not as our God, but our enemies [are] void of understanding.
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 their vine-branch of Gomorrha: their grape [is] a grape of gall, their cluster [is] one of bitterness.
33 Woƒe wainwo nye da ƒe aɖiwo kple ƒli ƒe veve.
Their wine [is] the rage of serpents, and the incurable rage of asps.
34 Ke Israel nye dukɔ tɔxɛ; metre enu abe kpe xɔasiwo ene ɖe nye nudzraɖoƒe.
Behold! are not these things stored up by me, and sealed among my treasures?
35 Tɔnyee nye hlɔ̃biabia. Ɣeyiɣi hena nye tohehe eƒe futɔwo ɖo woƒe afɔwo ada; elabena woƒe tsɔtsrɔ̃ɣi ɖo!
In the day of vengeance I will recompense, whenever their foot shall be tripped up; for the day of their destruction [is] near to them, and the judgments at hand are close upon you.
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 shall be comforted over his servants; for he saw that they were utterly weakened, and failed in the hostile invasion, and were become feeble:
37 Ekema Mawu abia be, Afi ka woƒe mawuwo le? Agakpe siwo wobu abe sitsoƒe ene ɖe?
and the Lord said, Where are their gods on 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!
the fat of whose sacrifices you ate, and you drank the wine of their drink-offerings? let them arise and help you, and be your protectors.
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.
Behold, behold that I am [he], and there is no god beside me: I kill, and I will make to live: I will strike, and I will heal; and there is none who shall deliver out of my hands.
40 Zi ale si wònye nyee Nye Mawu gbagbe la la, Mekɔ asi dzi, ɖe adzɔgbe
For I will lift up my hand to heaven, and swear by my right hand, and I will 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.
For I will sharpen my sword like lightning, and my hand shall take hold of judgment; and I will render judgment to my enemies, and will recompense 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 weapons drunk with blood, and my sword shall devour flesh, [it shall glut itself] with the blood of the wounded, and from the captivity of the heads of [their] enemies that rule over them.
43 Dukɔwo, mikafu Yehowa ƒe amewo, ehea to na eƒe amewo wulawo; ebiaa hlɔ̃ eƒe futɔwo etsɔa nu vɔ̃ kea eƒe amewo.
Rejoice, you heavens, with him, and let all the angels of God worship him; rejoice you Gentiles, with his people, and let all the sons of God strengthen themselves in him; for he will avenge the blood of his sons, and he will render vengeance, and recompense justice to his enemies, and will reward them that hate him; and the Lord shall purge the land of his people.
44 Mose kple Yosua, Nun ƒe viŋutsu la, gblɔ ha sia me nyawo ale be Israelviwo nate ŋu ase wo.
And Moses wrote this song in that day, and taught it to the children of Israel; and Moses went in and spoke all the words of this law in the ears of the people, he and Joshua the [son] of Naue.
45 Esi Mose wu Mawu ƒe seawo fiafia Israel dukɔ blibo la nu vɔ la,
And Moses finished speaking 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, Take heed with your heart to all these words, which I testify to you this day, which you shall command your sons, to observe and 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 this [is] no vain word to you; for it [is] your life, and because of this word you shall live long upon the land, into which you go over Jordan to inherit it.
48 Yehowa gblɔ na Mose gbe ma gbe ke be,
And the Lord spoke to Moses in this 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.
Go up to the mount Abarim, this mountain Nabau which is in the land of Moab over against Jericho, and behold the land of Chanaan, which I give to the sons of Israel:
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 whither you go up, and be added to your people; as Aaron your brother died in mount Or, and was added to his people.
51 esi nèklo bubu le ŋunye le Israelviwo dome le Meriba Kades le Zin gbedzi la ta.
Because you disobeyed my word among the children of Israel, at the waters of strife of Cades in the wilderness of Sin; because you sanctified me not among the sons of Israel.
52 Àkpɔ anyigba si mele tsɔtsɔm na Israelviwo la ɖa tso adzɔge, gake màde anyigba la dzi o.”
You shall see the land before [you], but you shall not enter into it.
