Mose 5 6

1 Yehowa, miaƒe Mawu la gblɔ nam be matsɔ se siawo katã na mi, miawɔ ɖe wo dzi le anyigba si dzi yi ge miala fifia, eye mianɔ la dzi.

Now these [are] the commandments, the statutes, and the judgments, which the LORD your God commanded to teach you, that ye might do [them] in the land whither ye go to possess it:

2 Se siawo ƒe taɖodzinue nye woana miawo, mia viwo kple mia tɔgbuiyɔviwo miavɔ̃ Yehowa, miaƒe Mawu la to eƒe ɖoɖowo katã dzi wɔwɔ me le miaƒe agbemeŋkekewo katã me. Ne miete ŋu wɔe la, ƒe geɖe siwo me nunyoname geɖewo le la anɔ mia ŋgɔ,

That thou mightest fear the LORD thy God, to keep all his statutes and his commandments, which I command thee, thou, and thy son, and thy son’s son, all the days of thy life; and that thy days may be prolonged.

3 eya ta O! Israel, ɖo to se ɖe sia ɖe, eye nàkpɔ egbɔ be yewɔ ɖe wo dzi ale be nàkpɔ dzidzedze le nu sia nu me, eye nàdzi sɔ gbɔ. Ne èwɔ ɖe se siawo katã dzi la, àzu dukɔ gã aɖe le anyigba nyui la dzi afi si “notsi kple anyitsi bɔ ɖo” abe ale si fofowòwo ƒe Mawu la do ŋugbe na wò ene.

Hear therefore, O Israel, and observe to do [it; ] that it may be well with thee, and that ye may increase mightily, as the LORD God of thy fathers hath promised thee, in the land that floweth with milk and honey.

4 O! Israel, ɖo to: Yehowa míaƒe Mawu la, Yehowa ɖeka koe.

Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God [is] one LORD:

5 Ele be nàlɔ̃ Yehowa, wò Mawu la kple wò dzi blibo, wò luʋɔ blibo kple wò ŋusẽ blibo.

And thou shalt love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might.

6 Hekpe ɖe esia ŋuti la, ele be nàbu se siwo mele nawòm egbe la ŋu ɣe sia ɣi.

And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be in thine heart:

7 Ele be nàkui ɖe to me na viwòwo, eye nàƒo nu na wo tso wo ŋu ne miele aƒe me alo ne miele tsa ɖim, le anyimlɔɣi kple fɔfɔɣi abe nu gbãtɔ ene le ŋdi me.

And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up.

8 Tsi wo ɖe wò asibidɛ ŋu abe dzesi ene, bla wo ɖe wò ŋgonu,

And thou shalt bind them for a sign upon thine hand, and they shall be as frontlets between thine eyes.

9 eye nàŋlɔ wo ɖe ʋɔtrutiwo ŋu le wò aƒe me!

And thou shalt write them upon the posts of thy house, and on thy gates.

10 Ne Yehowa, wò Mawu la kplɔ wò va ɖo anyigba si ŋugbe wòdo na fofowòwo, Abraham, Isak kple Yakob dzi, eye ne etsɔ du gã siwo me nu nyuiwo le na wò,

And it shall be, when the LORD thy God shall have brought thee into the land which he sware unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give thee great and goodly cities, which thou buildedst not,

11 du siwo mètso o, vudo siwo mèɖe o, waingble siwo mède o kple amiti siwo mèdo o, eye ne èɖu nu ɖi ƒo la,

And houses full of all good [things], which thou filledst not, and wells digged, which thou diggedst not, vineyards and olive trees, which thou plantedst not; when thou shalt have eaten and be full;

12 ekema kpɔ nyuie be, màŋlɔ Yehowa si kplɔ wò tso Egiptenyigba dzi, tso kluvinyenye me la be o.

[Then] beware lest thou forget the LORD, which brought thee forth out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage.

13 Ne èɖi ƒo la, mègaŋlɔ Yehowa, wò Mawu la vɔvɔ̃ kple esubɔsubɔ be o. Wɔ eya ko ƒe ŋkɔ ŋu dɔ le atamkaka me.

Thou shalt fear the LORD thy God, and serve him, and shalt swear by his name.

14 Mele be nàsubɔ dukɔ siwo ƒo xlã wò la ƒe mawuwo o,

Ye shall not go after other gods, of the gods of the people which [are] round about you;

15 elabena Yehowa, wò Mawu la, ame si le mia dome la nye Mawu ʋãŋu; ate ŋu ado dɔmedzoe ɖe ŋuwò, eye wòatsrɔ̃ wò ɖa le anyigba la ŋkume.

(For the LORD thy God [is] a jealous God among you) lest the anger of the LORD thy God be kindled against thee, and destroy thee from off the face of the earth.

16 Mele be nàte Yehowa wò Mawu la kpɔ abe ale si nètee kpɔ le Masa ene o.

Ye shall not tempt the LORD your God, as ye tempted [him] in Massah.

17 Ele be nàwɔ eƒe sewo katã dzi.

Ye shall diligently keep the commandments of the LORD your God, and his testimonies, and his statutes, which he hath commanded thee.

18 Eya ko hafi nàwɔ nu si dze, eye wònyo le Yehowa ŋkume. Ne èwɔ ɖe eƒe sewo dzi la, nu sia nu adze edzi na wò, eye nàte ŋu ayi aɖaxɔ anyigba nyui si ŋugbe Yehowa do na tɔgbuiwòwo.

And thou shalt do [that which is] right and good in the sight of the LORD: that it may be well with thee, and that thou mayest go in and possess the good land which the LORD sware unto thy fathers,

19 Hekpe ɖe esia ŋu la, ànya ame siwo le anyigba la dzi ɖa abe ale si Yehowa do ŋugbe be yeakpe ɖe ŋuwò nàwɔ ene.

To cast out all thine enemies from before thee, as the LORD hath spoken.

20 Ne viwò va bia wò gbe aɖe gbe be, “Nu ka see nye esi Yehowa miaƒe Mawu de na mi?” hã la,

[And] when thy son asketh thee in time to come, saying, What [mean] the testimonies, and the statutes, and the judgments, which the LORD our God hath commanded you?

21 ele be nàgblɔ nɛ be, “Míenye Farao ƒe kluviwo kpɔ le Egipte. Yehowa ɖe mí tso Egipte to eƒe ŋusẽ gã la

Then thou shalt say unto thy son, We were Pharaoh’s bondmen in Egypt; and the LORD brought us out of Egypt with a mighty hand:

22 kple nukunu gãwo wɔwɔ kple fufiafia Egipte, Farao kple eƒe amewo katã me. Míekpɔ nu siawo katã kple míaƒe ŋkuwo.

And the LORD shewed signs and wonders, great and sore, upon Egypt, upon Pharaoh, and upon all his household, before our eyes:

23 Yehowa kplɔ mí tso Egipte be yeate ŋu atsɔ anyigba sia, si ŋugbe wòdo na mía tɔgbuiwo la na mí.

And he brought us out from thence, that he might bring us in, to give us the land which he sware unto our fathers.

24 Ebia tso mía si be míawɔ se siawo katã dzi, eye míade bubu ye ŋu ale be yeate ŋu alé agbe ɖe te na mí abe ale si wòwɔ va se ɖe fifia ene,

And the LORD commanded us to do all these statutes, to fear the LORD our God, for our good always, that he might preserve us alive, as [it is] at this day.

25 elabena ɣe sia ɣi si míewɔ ɖe Yehowa miaƒe Mawu ƒe seawo katã dzi la, nu sia nu dzea edzi na mí nyuie.”

And it shall be our righteousness, if we observe to do all these commandments before the LORD our God, as he hath commanded us.
