Mose 5 5
1 Mose gaƒo nu na Israelviwo gblɔ be, Miɖo to nyuie miase se siwo katã Yehowa de na mi. Misrɔ̃ wo, eye miakpɔ egbɔ be yewowɔ wo dzi!
Then Moses called all the Israelites together and told them: Listen, people of Israel to the rules and regulations that I'm giving you today. Learn them and make sure you follow them carefully.
2 Yehowa mía Mawu la bla nu kpli mi le Horeb to la gbɔ.
Remember that the Lord our God made an agreement with us at Horeb.
3 Mebla nu kple mia tɔgbuiwo o, ke boŋ kple mi ame siwo le agbe, le afi sia fifia
He didn't make this agreement with our fathers, but with us, all of those who are still alive today.
4 Eƒo nu kpli mi ŋkume kple ŋkume tso dzo bibi la titina le afi ma, le to la gbɔ.
The Lord talked with you person to person from the fire on the mountain.
5 Menɔ miawo kple Yehowa dome, elabena mienɔ vɔvɔ̃m, eye mieyi egbɔ le to la dzi o. Eƒo nu nam, eye metsɔ eƒe seawo na mi. Nya siwo wògblɔ la woe nye:
This was the time when I stood between the Lord and you to tell you what the Lord said, because you were afraid of the fire and refused to go up the mountain. He told you,
6 “Nyee nye Yehowa, wò Mawu, si kplɔ wò tso kluvinyenye me le Egiptenyigba dzi.
“I am the Lord your God, who led you out of Egypt, out of the prison-house of slavery.
7 “Mègasubɔ mawu bubu aɖeke kpe ɖe ŋunye o.
You must not have any other gods except me.
8 Mègawɔ legba aɖeke na ɖokuiwò o, eɖanye nu siwo le dziƒo alo anyigba dzi afii loo, alo tɔ me la ƒe nɔnɔme o.
You must not make for yourself any kind of idol, whether in the form of anything in the heavens above, or on the earth beneath, or in the waters below.
9 Mègade ta agu na wo o, eye mègasubɔ wo le mɔ aɖeke nu o, elabena nye Yehowa, wò Mawu la, Mawu ʋãŋue menye. Mehea to na ɖevi siwo léa fum la ɖe wo fofowo ƒe vodadawo teƒe va se ɖe dzidzime etɔ̃lia kple enelia dzi.
You must not bow down before them or worship them; for I am the Lord your God and I am passionately exclusive. I lay the consequences of the sin of those who hate me on their sons, grandsons, and great-grandsons;
10 Ke meɖea nye lɔlɔ̃ fiaa dzidzime akpe nane siwo lɔ̃am, eye wowɔa nye seawo dzi.
but I show trustworthy love to the thousands of generations who love me and keep my commandments.
11 Mègayɔ Yehowa, wò Mawu la ƒe ŋkɔ dzodzro o, elabena Yehowa magbe tohehe na ame si yɔ eƒe ŋkɔ dzodzro la o.
You must not use the name of the Lord your God in a wrong way, for the Lord will not forgive anyone who uses his name in a wrong way.
12 Wɔ ɖe Dzudzɔgbe la dzi, eye nàwɔe kɔkɔe abe ale si Yehowa, wò Mawu la de se na wòe ene.
Remember the Sabbath day to keep it holy, as the Lord as the Lord your God has commanded you to do.
13 Wɔ wò dɔwo katã le ŋkeke ade me,
You have six days to work and earn your living,
14 ke ŋkeke adrelia nye Yehowa, wò Mawu la ƒe Dzudzɔgbe. Mègawɔ dɔ aɖeke le edzi o. Wò aƒemetɔ aɖeke hã mekpɔ mɔ awɔ dɔ aɖeke gbe ma gbe o, eɖanye viwò ŋutsuwo, viwò nyɔnuwo, wò dɔlaŋutsu, wò dɔlanyɔnu, wò nyiwo, wò tedziwo alo wò lãwo katã o. Ele be amedzro siwo le mia dome gɔ̃ hã nawɔ se sia dzi. Ele be ame sia ame nadzudzɔ abe ale si wò ŋutɔ nàwɔ ene.
but the seventh day is the Sabbath to honor the Lord your God. On this day you must not do any work—not you, not your son or daughter, not your male slave or female slave or your ox or donkey or any of your livestock, and not the foreigner who is staying with you, so that your male slave and females slave can have the same rest as you.
15 Ɖo ŋku edzi be, ènye kluvi le Egipte kpɔ, eye Yehowa, wò Mawu la kplɔ wò do goe tso teƒe ma kple asi sesẽ kple abɔ si wòdo ɖe dzi. Le esia ta Yehowa, wò Mawu la de se na wò be nàɖo ŋku Dzudzɔgbe la dzi.
Remember that you were once slaves in Egypt, and that the Lord your God led you out from there with his great power and incredible strength. This is why the Lord your God has ordered you to keep the Sabbath day.
16 Bu fofowò kple dawò. Ɖo ŋku edzi be esiae nye Yehowa, wò Mawu la ƒe se. Ne èwɔ ɖe edzi la, ànɔ agbe didi, eye wòadze edzi na wò le anyigba si Yehowa, wò Mawu la le nawòm la dzi.
Honor your father and your mother, as the Lord your God has commanded you to do, so that you may live a long time and do well in the land that the Lord your God is giving you.
17 Mègawu ame o.
You must not kill people.
18 Mègawɔ ahasi o.
You must not commit adultery.
19 Mègafi fi o.
You must not steal.
20 Mègaɖi aʋatsoɖase le hawòvi ŋuti o.
You must not give false evidence against others.
21 Mègabia ŋu hawòvi ɖe srɔ̃a ta alo ɖe eƒe aƒe, anyigba, dɔlaŋutsu, dɔlanyɔnu, nyiwo, tedziwo loo, alo nu sia nu si nye etɔ la ta o.”
You must not desire to have anyone else's wife. You must not desire to have their house or field, or their male slave or female slave, or their ox or donkey, or anything that belongs to them.”
22 Yehowa de se siawo na mia dometɔ ɖe sia ɖe tso dzo bibi la titina esime lilikpo la kple viviti tsiɖitsiɖi ƒo xlã Sinai to la, se mawo ko wòde na mi ɣe ma ɣi, eye megatsɔ bubu aɖeke kpee o. Eŋlɔ wo ɖe kpe kpakpa eve dzi hetsɔ nam.
In a loud voice the Lord gave these commandments to all of you, speaking from the fire, the cloud, and the deep darkness that covered the mountain. He didn't add anything else. He wrote them down on two tablets of stone and gave them to me.
23 Ke esi miese gbe sesẽ la tso viviti la me, eye miekpɔ dzo bibi dziŋɔ la le to la tame la, miaƒe toawo ƒe kplɔlawo katã va gbɔnye,
When you heard the voice that came from the darkness while the mountain was on fire, all your tribal leaders and elders came to me,
24 eye woɖe kuku be, “Egbe la, Yehowa, míaƒe Mawu la ɖe eƒe ŋutikɔkɔe kple gãnyenye fia mí. Míese eƒe gbe gɔ̃ hã tso dzo bibi la titina. Azɔ la, míenya be ame ate ŋu aƒo nu kple Mawu, eye maku o.
and said, “Listen, the Lord our God has revealed glory and majesty to us, and we have heard his voice that came from the fire. Today we have seen that human beings can don't die even when God speaks with them.
25 Ke míeka ɖe edzi be míaku ne Yehowa míaƒe Mawu gaƒo nu na mí azɔ. Dzo bibi dziŋɔ sia atsrɔ̃ mí.
But we could still die, couldn't we? This enormous fire is going to burn us up, and we'll die if the Lord our God continues to speak to us.
26 Ame kae ate ŋu ase Mawu gbagbe la ƒe gbe tso dzo bibi la titina abe ale si míawo míesee ene, eye wòatsi agbe?
Has anybody else ever heard the living God speak from the fire and survived, we have?
27 Yi nàɖo to nya siwo katã Yehowa, míaƒe Mawu la le gbɔgblɔm, eye nàva gblɔe na mí, ekema míaɖo to, eye miawɔ ɖe wo dzi.”
You go and listen to everything the Lord our God tells you. Then you can repeat to us everything the Lord our God tells you. We promise to listen and obey.”
28 Yehowa lɔ̃ ɖe miaƒe biabia la dzi, eye wògblɔ nam be, “Mese nya si wò ameawo gblɔ na wò; melɔ̃ ɖe edzi.
The Lord heard what you told me, and he said to me, “I've heard what these people told you. All that they've said is good.
29 O! Ne dzi sia tɔgbi anɔ wo me ɣe sia ɣi, eye woadi be yewoawɔ nye seawo dzi la, ekema nu sia nu anyo na wo le ŋgɔgbea, eye wòanyo na wo viwo to dzidzimeawo katã me!
I only wish they really did respect me and always kept my commandments so that they and their children would do well for all time.
30 “Yi, nàgblɔ na wo be, woatrɔ ayi woƒe agbadɔwo me.
Go and tell them: ‘You need to return to your tents.’
31 Emegbe la, wò ŋutɔ nàtrɔ va, atsi tsitre ɖe axanye le afi sia, matsɔ nye seawo katã na wò, nàfia seawo ameawo ne woawɔ wo dzi le anyigba si mele wo na ge la dzi.”
But you are to stay here with me so that I can give you all the commandments and rules and regulations you are to teach them to follow in the country that I am giving them to take over and own.”
32 Ale Mose gblɔ na ameawo be, “Ele be miawɔ ɖe Yehowa, miaƒe Mawu la ƒe seawo dzi, miazɔ ɖe eƒe ɖoɖo ɖe sia ɖe nu tututu, eye miazɔ le mɔ si wòta na mi la dzi pɛpɛpɛ.
So make sure you do what the Lord your God has ordered you to do—don't go astray in any direction.
33 Ne miewɔ esia la, eya ko hafi mianɔ agbe didi, eye wòadze edzi na mi le anyigba si xɔ ge miala la dzi.”
Follow all the ways the Lord your God has shown you, so that you do well and live long lives in the country that you will occupy.
