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!
Moses called to all Israel and said to them, “Listen, Israel, to the statutes and the decrees that I will speak in your ears today, that you may learn them and keep them.
2 Yehowa mía Mawu la bla nu kpli mi le Horeb to la gbɔ.
Yahweh our God made a covenant with us at Horeb.
3 Mebla nu kple mia tɔgbuiwo o, ke boŋ kple mi ame siwo le agbe, le afi sia fifia
Yahweh did not make this covenant with our ancestors, but with us, all of us alive here today.
4 Eƒo nu kpli mi ŋkume kple ŋkume tso dzo bibi la titina le afi ma, le to la gbɔ.
Yahweh spoke with you face to face on the mount out of the middle of the fire
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:
(I stood between Yahweh and you at that time, to reveal to you his word; for you were afraid because of the fire, and you did not go up the mountain). Yahweh said,
6 “Nyee nye Yehowa, wò Mawu, si kplɔ wò tso kluvinyenye me le Egiptenyigba dzi.
'I am Yahweh your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery.
7 “Mègasubɔ mawu bubu aɖeke kpe ɖe ŋunye o.
You will have no other gods before 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 will not make for yourself a carved figure nor any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water 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 will not bow down to them or serve them, for I, Yahweh your God, am a jealous God. I punish the ancestors' wickedness by bringing punishment on the children, to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me,
10 Ke meɖea nye lɔlɔ̃ fiaa dzidzime akpe nane siwo lɔ̃am, eye wowɔa nye seawo dzi.
and showing covenant faithfulness to thousands, to those 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 will not take the name of Yahweh your God in vain, for Yahweh will not hold him guiltless that takes his name in vain.
12 Wɔ ɖe Dzudzɔgbe la dzi, eye nàwɔe kɔkɔe abe ale si Yehowa, wò Mawu la de se na wòe ene.
Observe the Sabbath day to keep it holy, as Yahweh your God commanded you.
13 Wɔ wò dɔwo katã le ŋkeke ade me,
For six days you will labor and do all your work;
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 a Sabbath to Yahweh your God. On it you will not do any work—not you, nor your son, nor your daughter, nor your male servant, nor your female servant, nor your ox, nor your donkey, nor any of your cattle, nor any foreigner who is within your gates. This is so that your male servant and your female servant may rest as well 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.
You will call to mind that you were a servant in the land of Egypt, and Yahweh your God brought you out from there by a mighty hand and by an outstretched arm. Therefore Yahweh your God has commanded 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 Yahweh your God has commanded you to do, that you may live a long time in the land that Yahweh your God gives you, and so that it may go well with you.
17 Mègawu ame o.
You will not murder.
18 Mègawɔ ahasi o.
You will not commit adultery.
19 Mègafi fi o.
You will not steal.
20 Mègaɖi aʋatsoɖase le hawòvi ŋuti o.
You will not give false witness against your neighbor.
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 will not covet your neighbor's wife, you will not covet your neighbor's house, his field, or his male servant, or his female servant, his ox, or his donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbor.'
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.
These words Yahweh spoke in a loud voice to all your assembly on the mountain out of the middle of the fire, of the cloud, and of the thick darkness; he did not add any more words. 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,
It came about, when you heard the voice out of the middle of the darkness, while the mountain was burning, that you came near to me—all your elders and the heads of your tribes.
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.
You said, 'Look, Yahweh our God has shown us his glory and his greatness, and we have heard his voice out of the middle of the fire; we have seen today that when God speaks with people, they can live.
25 Ke míeka ɖe edzi be míaku ne Yehowa míaƒe Mawu gaƒo nu na mí azɔ. Dzo bibi dziŋɔ sia atsrɔ̃ mí.
But why should we die? For this great fire will consume us; if we hear the voice of Yahweh our God any longer, we will die.
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?
For who besides us is there among all flesh who has heard the voice of the living God speak out of the middle of the fire and lived, as we have done?
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.”
As for you, you should go and listen to everything that Yahweh our God says; repeat to us everything that Yahweh our God says to you; we will listen to it and obey it.'
28 Yehowa lɔ̃ ɖe miaƒe biabia la dzi, eye wògblɔ nam be, “Mese nya si wò ameawo gblɔ na wò; melɔ̃ ɖe edzi.
Yahweh heard your words when you spoke to me. He said to me, 'I have heard the words of this people, what they said to you. What they said was 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!
Oh, that there were such a heart in them, that they would honor me and always keep all my commandments, that it might go well with them and with their children forever!
30 “Yi, nàgblɔ na wo be, woatrɔ ayi woƒe agbadɔwo me.
Go say to them, “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 as for you, stand here by me, and I will tell you all the commandments, the statutes, and the decrees that you will teach them, so that they may keep them in the land that I will give them to possess.'
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.
You will keep, therefore, what Yahweh your God has commanded you; you will not turn aside to the right hand or to the left.
33 Ne miewɔ esia la, eya ko hafi mianɔ agbe didi, eye wòadze edzi na mi le anyigba si xɔ ge miala la dzi.”
You will walk in all the ways that Yahweh your God has commanded you, so that you may live, and so that it may go well with you, and that you may prolong your days in the land that you will possess.
