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.
“And this [is] the command, the statutes and the judgments which your God YHWH has commanded to teach you to do in the land which you are passing over there 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,
so that you fear your God YHWH, to keep all His statutes and His commands which I am commanding you, you, and your son, and your son’s son, all [the] days of your life, and so that your days are 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.
And you have heard, O Israel, and observed to do [them], that it may be well with you, and that you may multiply exceedingly, as YHWH, God of your fathers, has spoken to you, [in] the land flowing with milk and honey.
4 O! Israel, ɖo to: Yehowa míaƒe Mawu la, Yehowa ɖeka koe.
Hear, O Israel: Our God YHWH—YHWH [is] one!
5 Ele be nàlɔ̃ Yehowa, wò Mawu la kple wò dzi blibo, wò luʋɔ blibo kple wò ŋusẽ blibo.
And you have loved your God YHWH with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your 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 am commanding you today have been on your 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 you have repeated them to your sons, and spoken of them in your sitting in your house, and in your walking in the way, and in your lying down, and in your rising up,
8 Tsi wo ɖe wò asibidɛ ŋu abe dzesi ene, bla wo ɖe wò ŋgonu,
and have bound them for a sign on your hand, and they have been for frontlets between your eyes,
9 eye nàŋlɔ wo ɖe ʋɔtrutiwo ŋu le wò aƒe me!
and you have written them on doorposts of your house and on your 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 has been, when your God YHWH brings you into the land which He has sworn to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give to you great and good cities which you have not built,
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 you have not filled, and wells dug which you have not dug, vineyards and olive-yards which you have not planted, that you have eaten and been satisfied.
12 ekema kpɔ nyuie be, màŋlɔ Yehowa si kplɔ wò tso Egiptenyigba dzi, tso kluvinyenye me la be o.
Take heed to yourself lest you forget YHWH who has brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of a house of servants.
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.
You fear your God YHWH, and you serve Him, and you swear by His Name.
14 Mele be nàsubɔ dukɔ siwo ƒo xlã wò la ƒe mawuwo o,
You do not go after other gods, of the gods of the peoples who [are] around 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 your God YHWH [is] a zealous God in your midst—lest the anger of your God YHWH burns against you, and He has destroyed you from off the face of the ground.
16 Mele be nàte Yehowa wò Mawu la kpɔ abe ale si nètee kpɔ le Masa ene o.
You do not try your God YHWH as you tried [Him] in Massah.
17 Ele be nàwɔ eƒe sewo katã dzi.
You diligently keep the commands of your God YHWH, and His testimonies and His statutes which He has commanded you,
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 you have done that which is right and good in the eyes of YHWH, so that it is well with you, and you have gone in and possessed the good land which YHWH has sworn to your 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 drive away all your enemies from your presence, as YHWH has spoken.
20 Ne viwò va bia wò gbe aɖe gbe be, “Nu ka see nye esi Yehowa miaƒe Mawu de na mi?” hã la,
When your son asks you hereafter, saying, What [are] the testimonies, and the statutes, and the judgments which our God YHWH has 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 you have said to your son, We have been servants of Pharaoh in Egypt, and YHWH brings us out of Egypt by a high hand;
22 kple nukunu gãwo wɔwɔ kple fufiafia Egipte, Farao kple eƒe amewo katã me. Míekpɔ nu siawo katã kple míaƒe ŋkuwo.
and YHWH gives signs and wonders, great and severe, on Egypt, on Pharaoh, and on all his house, 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 has brought us out from there, in order to bring us in, to give to us the land which He had sworn to 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 YHWH commands us to do all these statutes, to fear our God YHWH, for good to ourselves [for] all the days, to keep us alive, as [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 is righteousness for us when we observe to do all this command before our God YHWH, as He has commanded us.”
