Mose 5 32
1 Miɖo to, o, dziƒo kple anyigba! Miɖo to nye nyawo!
“Give ear, O heavens, and I speak; And you hear, O earth, sayings 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 drops as rain; My sayings flow as dew; As storms on the tender grass, And as showers on the herb,
3 Maɖe gbeƒã Yehowa ƒe gãnyenye ŋutikɔkɔe gã ŋutɔ le eŋu!
For I proclaim the Name of YHWH; Ascribe 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.
The Rock—His work [is] perfect, For all His ways [are] just; God of steadfastness, and without iniquity; Righteous and upright [is] He.
5 Ke Israel gblẽ: nu vɔ̃ blibae. Meganye Mawu tɔ o. Ezu dukɔ kɔlialiatɔ kple dzidzime gɔglɔ̃.
It has done corruptly to Him; Their blemish is not of His sons, A generation perverse and crooked!
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 act thus to YHWH, O people foolish and not wise? Is He not your Father—He who bought you? He made you, and establishes you.
7 Ɖo ŋku gbe aɖe gbe ʋĩi dzi! Bia fofowòwo kple amegãxoxowo, woagblɔ nya sia nya na wò.
Remember days of old—Understand the years of many generations—Ask your father, and he tells you; Your elderly, and they say to you:
8 Mawu, dziƒoʋĩtɔ la, ma xexea me ɖe dukɔwo dome ena mawudɔla ɖeka dukɔ ɖe sia ɖe be wòanye dzikpɔla nɛ.
In the Most High causing nations to inherit, In His separating sons of Adam—He sets up the borders of the peoples By the number of the sons of God [[or sons of Israel]].
9 Ke mena mawudɔla aɖeke Israel o, elabena Israel nye Yehowa ŋutɔ tɔ!
For YHWH’s portion [is] His people, Jacob [is] 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 finds him in a land—a desert, And in a void—a howling wilderness, He turns him around—He causes him to understand—He keeps 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 wakes up its nest, Flutters over its young ones, Spreads its wings [and] takes them, Carries them on its pinions—
12 Yehowa ɖeka koe nɔ ekplɔm mawu bubu aɖeke mekpe ɖe eŋu o.
YHWH alone leads him, And there is 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 makes him ride on high places of earth, And he eats increase of the fields, And He makes him suck honey from a rock, And oil out of the flint of a 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 the herd, and milk of the flock, With fat of lambs, and rams of sons of Bashan, And male goats, with fat of kidneys of wheat; And of the blood of the grape you drink wine!
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.
And Yeshurun waxes fat, and kicks: You have been fat, you have been thick, You have been covered. And he leaves God who made him, And dishonors the Rock of his salvation.
16 Edo dɔmedzoe ŋutɔ ɖe woƒe dzromawuwo subɔsubɔ ta; eʋã ŋu ɖe eƒe dukɔ ta.
They make Him zealous with strangers, They make Him angry with abominations.
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 sacrifice to the demons, not God, To gods they have not known, New ones—they came from the vicinity; Your fathers have not feared them!
18 Eɖe kɔ ɖa le Agakpe si wɔe la ŋu ŋlɔ be be Mawue wɔ ye.
You forget the Rock that begot you, And neglect God who forms you.
19 Yehowa kpɔ nu si wɔm Israel le; elé fu Israel ŋutɔŋutɔ. Via ŋutsuwo kple via nyɔnuwo do vloe.
And YHWH sees and despises—For the provocation of His sons and 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 says: I hide My face from them, I see what their latter end [is]; For they [are] a contrary generation, Sons in whom is no steadfastness.
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 made Me jealous by [what is] not God, They made Me angry by their vanities; And I make them jealous by [what is] not a people, I make them angry by 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 has been kindled in My anger, And it burns to the lowest [part] of Sheol, And consumes earth and its increase, And sets on fire [the] foundations of mountains. (Sheol h7585)
23 “Mali ke dzɔgbevɔ̃e ɖe edzi matee kple nye aŋutrɔ aƒu anyi.
I heap calamities on them, I consume 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.
Exhausted by famine, And consumed by heat and bitter destruction—I also send the teeth of beasts on them, With poison of fearful things 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 destroys from outside, And out of the inner-chambers—terror, Both youth and virgin, Suckling with man of grey hair.
26 Maka eƒe amewo ahlẽ ale be ame aɖeke magaɖo ŋku wo dzi gɔ̃ hã o.
I have said: I blow them away, I cause their remembrance to cease from man;
27 Ke mebu eŋu hekpɔ be, Nye futɔwo aƒo adegbe be, ‘Míawo ŋutɔ ƒe ŋusẽe ɖu Israel dzi; Menye Yehowae wɔ esia o!’”
If I do not fear the anger of an enemy, Lest their adversaries know—Lest they say, Our hand is high, And YHWH has not worked all this.
28 Israel nye abunɛdukɔ aɖe bometsitsi ɖe nunya le tagbɔ nɛ.
For they [are] a nation lost to counsels, And there is no 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!
If only they were wise, They would deal wisely [with] this, They would attend to 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 does one pursue a thousand, And two cause a myriad to flee, If not that their Rock has sold them, And YHWH has 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 (And our enemies [are] 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—They have bitter clusters;
33 Woƒe wainwo nye da ƒe aɖiwo kple ƒli ƒe veve.
The poison of dragons [is] their wine And the fierce venom of cobras.
34 Ke Israel nye dukɔ tɔxɛ; metre enu abe kpe xɔasiwo ene ɖe nye nudzraɖoƒe.
Is it not laid up with Me? Sealed among My treasures?
35 Tɔnyee nye hlɔ̃biabia. Ɣeyiɣi hena nye tohehe eƒe futɔwo ɖo woƒe afɔwo ada; elabena woƒe tsɔtsrɔ̃ɣi ɖo!
Vengeance and retribution [are] Mine, At the due time—their foot slides; For near is a day of their calamity, And things prepared for them have hastened.
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 YHWH judges His people, And gives comfort over His servants. For He sees the going away of power, And none is restrained and left.
37 Ekema Mawu abia be, Afi ka woƒe mawuwo le? Agakpe siwo wobu abe sitsoƒe ene ɖe?
And He has said, Where [are] their gods—The rock in which they trusted?
38 Afi ka mawu siwo wosaa vɔ na kple lãmi kple wain le azɔ? Mina mawu siawo natsi tsitre, axɔ na wo!
Who eat the fat of their sacrifices, [And] drink the wine of their drink-offering? Let them arise and help you, Let it be a hiding place for you!
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 [am] He, And there is no god besides Me; I put to death and I keep alive; I have struck and I heal; And there is not a deliverer from 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 the heavens, And have said, I live for all time!
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 have sharpened the brightness of My sword, And My hand lays hold on judgment, I return vengeance to My adversaries, And to those hating Me—I repay!
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 make My arrows drunk with blood, And My sword devours flesh, From the blood of the pierced and captive, From the head of the leaders of the enemy.
43 Dukɔwo, mikafu Yehowa ƒe amewo, ehea to na eƒe amewo wulawo; ebiaa hlɔ̃ eƒe futɔwo etsɔa nu vɔ̃ kea eƒe amewo.
Sing, O nations, [with] His people, For He avenges the blood of His servants, And He turns back vengeance on His adversaries, And has pardoned His land [and] His people.”
44 Mose kple Yosua, Nun ƒe viŋutsu la, gblɔ ha sia me nyawo ale be Israelviwo nate ŋu ase wo.
And Moses comes and speaks all the words of this song in the ears of the people, he and Hoshea son of Nun;
45 Esi Mose wu Mawu ƒe seawo fiafia Israel dukɔ blibo la nu vɔ la,
and Moses finishes to speak 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 says to them, “Set your heart to all the words which I am testifying against you today, that you command your sons 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, for it [is] your life, and by this thing you prolong days on the ground to where you are passing over the Jordan to possess it.”
48 Yehowa gblɔ na Mose gbe ma gbe ke be,
And YHWH speaks to Moses on this very same 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 this Mount Abarim, Mount Nebo, which [is] in the land of Moab, which [is] on the front of Jericho, and see the land of Canaan which I am giving to the sons 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 on the mountain to where you are going up, and be gathered to your people, as your brother Aaron has died on Mount Hor and is 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 in the midst of the sons of Israel at the waters of Meribath-Kadesh, the wilderness of Zin, because you did not sanctify Me in the midst of the sons of Israel.
52 Àkpɔ anyigba si mele tsɔtsɔm na Israelviwo la ɖa tso adzɔge, gake màde anyigba la dzi o.”
Indeed, you see the land before [you], but you do not go in there to the land which I am giving to the sons of Israel.”
