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, “Hear, Israel, the statutes and the ordinances which I speak in your ears today, that you may learn them, and observe to do them.”
2 Yehowa mía Mawu la bla nu kpli mi le Horeb to la gbɔ.
The LORD our God made a covenant with us in Horeb.
3 Mebla nu kple mia tɔgbuiwo o, ke boŋ kple mi ame siwo le agbe, le afi sia fifia
The LORD didn’t make this covenant with our fathers, but with us, even us, who are all of us here alive today.
4 Eƒo nu kpli mi ŋkume kple ŋkume tso dzo bibi la titina le afi ma, le to la gbɔ.
The LORD spoke with you face to face on the mountain 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 the LORD and you at that time, to show you the LORD’s word; for you were afraid because of the fire, and didn’t go up onto the mountain) saying,
6 “Nyee nye Yehowa, wò Mawu, si kplɔ wò tso kluvinyenye me le Egiptenyigba dzi.
“I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
7 “Mègasubɔ mawu bubu aɖeke kpe ɖe ŋunye o.
“You shall 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 shall not make a carved image for yourself—any likeness of what is in heaven above, or what is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth.
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 shall not bow yourself down to them, nor serve them, for I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children and on the third and on the 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 loving kindness to thousands of 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 shall not misuse the name of the LORD your God; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless who misuses his name.
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 the LORD your God commanded you.
13 Wɔ wò dɔwo katã le ŋkeke ade me,
You shall labor six days, 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 the LORD your God, in which you shall not do any work—neither 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 livestock, nor your stranger who is within your gates; 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 shall remember that you were a servant in the land of Egypt, and the LORD your God brought you out of there by a mighty hand and by an outstretched arm. Therefore the LORD your God 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 the LORD your God commanded you, that your days may be long and that it may go well with you in the land which the LORD your God gives you.
17 Mègawu ame o.
“You shall not murder.
18 Mègawɔ ahasi o.
“You shall not commit adultery.
19 Mègafi fi o.
“You shall not steal.
20 Mègaɖi aʋatsoɖase le hawòvi ŋuti o.
“You shall not give false testimony 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 shall not covet your neighbor’s wife. Neither shall you desire your neighbor’s house, his field, or his male servant, or his female servant, his ox, or his donkey, or anything that is your neighbor’s.”
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.
The LORD spoke these words to all your assembly on the mountain out of the middle of the fire, of the cloud, and of the thick darkness, with a great voice. He added no more. He wrote them on two stone tablets, 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 out of the middle of the darkness, while the mountain was burning with fire, you came near to me, even all the heads of your tribes, and your elders;
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 you said, “Behold, the LORD 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 God does speak with man, and he lives.
25 Ke míeka ɖe edzi be míaku ne Yehowa míaƒe Mawu gaƒo nu na mí azɔ. Dzo bibi dziŋɔ sia atsrɔ̃ mí.
Now therefore, why should we die? For this great fire will consume us. If we hear the LORD our God’s voice any more, then we shall 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 is there of all flesh who has heard the voice of the living God speaking out of the middle of the fire, as we have, and lived?
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.”
Go near, and hear all that the LORD our God shall say, and tell us all that the LORD our God tells you; and we will hear it, and do it.”
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 the voice of your words when you spoke to me; and the LORD said to me, “I have heard the voice of the words of this people which they have spoken to you. They have well said all that they have spoken.
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 fear me and keep all my commandments always, that it might be well with them and with their children forever!
30 “Yi, nàgblɔ na wo be, woatrɔ ayi woƒe agbadɔwo me.
“Go tell 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, and the statutes, and the ordinances, which you shall teach them, that they may do them in the land which I 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 shall observe to do therefore as the LORD your God has commanded you. You shall not turn away 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 shall walk in all the way which the LORD your God has commanded you, that you may live and that it may be well with you, and that you may prolong your days in the land which you shall possess.
