Mose 5 7
1 Ne Yehowa miaƒe Mawu kplɔ wò yi Ŋugbedodonyigba la dzi, abe ale si wòle wɔwɔ ge kpuie ene la, atsrɔ̃ dukɔ adre siwo dometɔ ɖe sia ɖe lolo, eye wòsẽ wu wò. Dukɔ siawoe nye: Hititɔwo, Girgasitɔwo, Amoritɔwo, Kanaantɔwo, Perizitɔwo, Hivitɔwo kple Yebusitɔwo.
WHEN the Lord thy God shall bring thee into the land whither thou goest to possess it, and hath cast out many nations before thee, the Hittites, and the Girgashites, and the Amorites, and the Canaanites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, seven nations greater and mightier than thou;
2 Ne Yehowa, wò Mawu la tsɔ wo de asi na wò be nàtsrɔ̃ wo la, ele be nàtsrɔ̃ wo keŋkeŋ. Mègawɔ nubabla kpli wo alo nàkpɔ nublanui na wo o. Tsrɔ̃ wo keŋkeŋ.
And when the Lord thy God shall deliver them before thee; thou shalt smite them, and utterly destroy them; thou shalt make no covenant with them, nor shew mercy unto them:
3 Mègaɖe srɔ̃ tso wo dome o, eye mègaɖe mɔ viwò ŋutsuwo kple viwò nyɔnuwo naɖe wo vinyɔnuwo kple wo viŋutsuwo o.
Neither shalt thou make marriages with them; thy daughter thou shalt not give unto his son, nor his daughter shalt thou take unto thy son.
4 Ne viwòwo ɖe wo viwo la, viwòwo asubɔ woƒe mawuwo godoo. Ekema Yehowa ƒe dɔmedzoe abi ɖe ŋuwò, eye Yehowa atsrɔ̃ wò kokoko.
For they will turn away thy son from following me, that they may serve other gods: so will the anger of the Lord be kindled against you, and destroy thee suddenly.
5 Ele be nàmu woƒe vɔsamlekpuiwo, agbã woƒe legbawo, aho woƒe aƒeliwo aƒu anyi, eye nàtɔ dzo woƒe aklamakpakpɛwo,
But thus shall ye deal with them; ye shall destroy their altars, and break down their images, and cut down their groves, and burn their graven images with fire.
6 elabena wò la, dukɔ kɔkɔe nènye, eye wotsɔ wò na Yehowa, wò Mawu la. Etia wò tso xexemedukɔwo katã dome be nànye yeƒe dukɔ tiatia.
For thou art an holy people unto the Lord thy God: the Lord thy God hath chosen thee to be a special people unto himself, above all people that are upon the face of the earth.
7 Etia wò, eye wòkɔ eƒe lɔlɔ̃ ɖe dziwò duu, menye esi nènye dukɔ si lolo wu bubuawo ta o, elabena wòe nye suetɔ kekeake le dukɔwo dome!
The Lord did not set his love upon you, nor choose you, because ye were more in number than any people; for ye were the fewest of all people:
8 Esi wòlɔ̃ wò kple ale si wòwɔ atam si wòka na tɔgbuiwòwo dzi ta koe. Eya ta wòɖe wò tso kluvinyenye me le Egiptenyigba dzi to eƒe ŋusẽ gã ɖeɖe fia kple nukunu triakɔwo wɔwɔ me.
But because the Lord loved you, and because he would keep the oath which he had sworn unto your fathers, hath the Lord brought you out with a mighty hand, and redeemed you out of the house of bondmen, from the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt.
9 Eya ta nyae bena Yehowa, wò Mawu la nye Mawu nuteƒewɔla. Ewɔa eƒe ŋugbedodowo dzi na dzidzime akpewo, eye wòtsɔa lɔlɔ̃ mavɔ lɔ̃a ame siwo lɔ̃nɛ, eye wowɔa eƒe seawo dzi.
Know therefore that the Lord thy God, he is God, the faithful God, which keepeth covenant and mercy with them that love him and keep his commandments to a thousand generations;
10 Ke ame siwo léa fui la, woahe to na wo le dukɔwo ŋkume, eye woatsrɔ̃ wo. Eya ŋutɔ ahe to na wo.
And repayeth them that hate him to their face, to destroy them: he will not be slack to him that hateth him, he will repay him to his face.
11 Eya ta wɔ ɖe se siwo katã mele tsɔtsɔm na wò egbea la dzi.
Thou shalt therefore keep the commandments, and the statutes, and the judgments, which I command thee this day, to do them.
12 Le wò seawo dzi wɔwɔ ta la, Yehowa, wò Mawu la awɔ ɖe eƒe nubabla si wòtsɔ lɔ̃ wò kple fofowòwo la dzi.
Wherefore it shall come to pass, if ye hearken to these judgments, and keep, and do them, that the Lord thy God shall keep unto thee the covenant and the mercy which he sware unto thy fathers:
13 Kpe ɖe esia ŋu la, alɔ̃ wò, ayra wò, eye wòawɔ wò nàzu dukɔ gã aɖe. Ana nàdzi asɔ gbɔ, wò anyigba nanyo nukuwo, eye wò lãwo hã nadzi asɔ gbɔ, ale be wò bli, wain, ami, nyiwo, alẽwo kple gbɔ̃wo asɔ gbɔ ne mieva ɖo anyigba si ŋugbe wòdo na fofowòwo be yeatsɔ na wo la dzi.
And he will love thee, and bless thee, and multiply thee: he will also bless the fruit of thy womb, and the fruit of thy land, thy corn, and thy wine, and thine oil, the increase of thy kine, and the flocks of thy sheep, in the land which he sware unto thy fathers to give thee.
14 Yehowa ayra wò wu dukɔ bubu ɖe sia ɖe le xexea me. Wò ŋutsuwo kple nyɔnuwo siaa dometɔ aɖeke matsi ko o. Woƒe lãwo gɔ̃ hã matsi ko o.
Thou shalt be blessed above all people: there shall not be male or female barren among you, or among your cattle.
15 Gawu la, Yehowa aɖe miaƒe dɔlélewo katã ɖa, eye mana Egiptetɔwo ƒe dɔléle siwo dzi nèɖo ŋkui nyuie la dometɔ aɖeke naɖe fu na wò o. Atsɔ dɔléle siawo katã ada ɖe wò futɔwo dzi!
And the Lord will take away from thee all sickness, and will put none of the evil diseases of Egypt, which thou knowest, upon thee; but will lay them upon all them that hate thee.
16 Ele be nàtsrɔ̃ dukɔ siwo katã Yehowa, wò Mawu la tsɔ de asi na wò. Mègakpɔ nublanui na wo o, eye mègasubɔ woƒe mawuwo o. Ne ègbe toɖoɖo, eye nèwɔ nu siawo la, dzɔgbevɔ̃e ava dziwò.
And thou shalt consume all the people which the Lord thy God shall deliver thee; thine eye shall have no pity upon them: neither shalt thou serve their gods; for that will be a snare unto thee.
17 Ɖewohĩ miabia mia ɖokuiwo be, “Dukɔ siawo sesẽ wu mí, aleke míate ŋu awɔ anya wo ɖa?”
If thou shalt say in thine heart, These nations are more than I; how can I dispossess them?
18 Ke migavɔ̃ wo o! Miɖo ŋku nu si Yehowa, miaƒe Mawu la wɔ Farao kple Egiptenyigba blibo la
Thou shalt not be afraid of them: but shalt well remember what the Lord thy God did unto Pharaoh, and unto all Egypt;
19 miekpɔ kple miawo ŋutɔ miaƒe ŋkuwo, xaxa sesẽwo, nukunuwo kple dzesi gãwo, asi sesẽ kple abɔ si wòdo ɖe dzi si Yehowa, wò Mawu la tsɔ kplɔ wò do goe la dzi la dzi nyuie. Yehowa, wò Mawu la awɔ nenema ke na ame siwo vɔ̃m nèle fifia.
The great temptations which thine eyes saw, and the signs, and the wonders, and the mighty hand, and the stretched out arm, whereby the Lord thy God brought thee out: so shall the Lord thy God do unto all the people of whom thou art afraid.
20 Gawu la, Yehowa wò Mawu la aɖo nudzodzoe teamewo ɖe wo dome va se ɖe esime ame siwo tsi agbe, eye woɣla wo ɖokuiwo la hã nàtsrɔ̃.
Moreover the Lord thy God will send the hornet among them, until they that are left, and hide themselves from thee, be destroyed.
21 “Mègavɔ̃ dukɔ mawo o, elabena Yehowa, wò Mawu la le mia dome; Mawu ŋusẽtɔ kple ŋɔdzitɔ wònye.
Thou shalt not be affrighted at them: for the Lord thy God is among you, a mighty God and terrible.
22 Yehowa, wò Mawu la maɖe mɔ be miaɖe wo katã ɖa zi ɖeka o, ne menye nenema o la, lã wɔadãwo adzi asɔ gbɔ aɖe to ɖe wò.
And the Lord thy God will put out those nations before thee by little and little: thou mayest not consume them at once, lest the beasts of the field increase upon thee.
23 Ke Yehowa, wò Mawu la atsɔ wo ade asi na wò, ana woatɔtɔ va se ɖe esime woatsrɔ̃.
But the Lord thy God shall deliver them unto thee, and shall destroy them with a mighty destruction, until they be destroyed.
24 Mawu atsɔ woƒe fiawo ade asi na wò, eye nàtutu woƒe ŋkɔwo ɖa le anyigba la ŋkume. Wo dometɔ aɖeke mate ŋu atsi tsitre ɖe ŋuwò o. Ke boŋ àtsrɔ̃ wo.
And he shall deliver their kings into thine hand, and thou shalt destroy their name from under heaven: there shall no man be able to stand before thee, until thou have destroyed them.
25 Tɔ dzo woƒe legbawo, eye wo ŋu klosalo alo sika megabiã ŋu na wò o, eye mègatsɔ wo na ɖokuiwò o, elabena ŋunyɔnue wonye na Yehowa, wò Mawu la.
The graven images of their gods shall ye burn with fire: thou shalt not desire the silver or gold that is on them, nor take it unto thee, lest thou be snared therein: for it is an abomination to the Lord thy God.
26 Mègatsɔ ŋunyɔnu aɖeke va aƒewò me o, ne menye nenema o la, wò hã àzu busunu si woɖo anyi na tsɔtsrɔ̃. Tsri wo vevie, eye woanyɔ ŋu na wò elabena busunuwoe wonye.
Neither shalt thou bring an abomination into thine house, lest thou be a cursed thing like it: but thou shalt utterly detest it, and thou shalt utterly abhor it; for it is a cursed thing.
