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 ordinances, which the LORD your God commanded to teach you, that you might do them in the land that you go over to possess;
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 you might fear the LORD your God, to keep all his statutes and his commandments, which I command you—you, your son, and your son’s son, all the days of your life; and that your 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, Israel, and observe to do it, that it may be well with you, and that you may increase mightily, as the LORD, the God of your fathers, has promised to you, in a land flowing with milk and honey.
4 O! Israel, ɖo to: Yehowa míaƒe Mawu la, Yehowa ɖeka koe.
Hear, Israel: the LORD is our God. The LORD is one.
5 Ele be nàlɔ̃ Yehowa, wò Mawu la kple wò dzi blibo, wò luʋɔ blibo kple wò ŋusẽ blibo.
You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, 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.
These words, which I command you today, shall be 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 shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise up.
8 Tsi wo ɖe wò asibidɛ ŋu abe dzesi ene, bla wo ɖe wò ŋgonu,
You shall bind them for a sign on your hand, and they shall be for frontlets between your eyes.
9 eye nàŋlɔ wo ɖe ʋɔtrutiwo ŋu le wò aƒe me!
You shall write them on the door posts 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,
It shall be, when the LORD your God brings you into the land which he swore to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give you, great and goodly cities which you didn’t build,
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 didn’t fill, and cisterns dug out which you didn’t dig, vineyards and olive trees which you didn’t plant, and you shall eat 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 you forget the LORD, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of 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.
You shall fear the LORD your God; and you shall serve him, and shall swear by his name.
14 Mele be nàsubɔ dukɔ siwo ƒo xlã wò la ƒe mawuwo o,
You shall 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 the LORD your God amongst you is a jealous God, lest the anger of the LORD your God be kindled against you, and he destroy you 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.
You shall not tempt the LORD your God, as you tempted him in Massah.
17 Ele be nàwɔ eƒe sewo katã dzi.
You shall diligently keep the commandments of the LORD your God, 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.
You shall do that which is right and good in the LORD’s sight, that it may be well with you and that you may go in and possess the good land which the LORD swore 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 thrust out all your enemies from before you, as the LORD 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 in time to come, saying, “What do the testimonies, the statutes, and the ordinances, which the LORD our God has commanded you mean?”
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 shall tell your son, “We were Pharaoh’s slaves in Egypt. 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 showed great and awesome signs and wonders 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 brought us out from there, that he might bring us in, to give us the land which he swore 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,
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 we are today.
25 elabena ɣe sia ɣi si míewɔ ɖe Yehowa miaƒe Mawu ƒe seawo katã dzi la, nu sia nu dzea edzi na mí nyuie.”
It shall be righteousness to us, if we observe to do all these commandments before the LORD our God, as he has commanded us.”
