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.
And when the Lord your God shall bring you into the land, into which you go to possess it, and shall remove great nations from before you, the Chettite, and Gergesite, and Amorite, and Chananite, and Pherezite, and Evite, and Jebusite, seven nations [more] numerous and stronger than you,
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 the Lord your God shall deliver them into your hands, then you shall strike them: you shall utterly destroy them: you shall not make a covenant with them, neither shall you pity them:
3 Mègaɖe srɔ̃ tso wo dome o, eye mègaɖe mɔ viwò ŋutsuwo kple viwò nyɔnuwo naɖe wo vinyɔnuwo kple wo viŋutsuwo o.
neither shall you contract marriages with them: you shall not give your daughter to his son, and you shall not take his daughter to your 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 he will draw away your son from me, and he will serve other gods; and the Lord will be very angry with you, and will soon utterly destroy you.
5 Ele be nàmu woƒe vɔsamlekpuiwo, agbã woƒe legbawo, aho woƒe aƒeliwo aƒu anyi, eye nàtɔ dzo woƒe aklamakpakpɛwo,
But thus shall you do to them; you shall destroy their altars, and shall break down their pillars, and shall cut down their groves, and shall burn with fire the graven images of their gods.
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 you are a holy people to the Lord your God; and the Lord your God chose you to be to him a peculiar people beyond all nations 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!
It was not because you are more numerous than all [other] nations that the Lord preferred you, and the Lord made choice of you: for you are fewer in number than all [other] nations.
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 as keeping the oath which he sware to your fathers, the Lord brought you out with a strong hand, and the Lord redeemed you from the house of bondage, out of the hand of Pharao 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.
You shall know therefore, that the Lord your God, he [is] God, a faithful God, who keeps covenant and mercy for them that love him, and for those that 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 who recompenses them that hate him to their face, to destroy them utterly; and will not be slack with them that hate him: he will recompense them to their face.
11 Eya ta wɔ ɖe se siwo katã mele tsɔtsɔm na wò egbea la dzi.
You shall keep therefore the commands, and the ordinances, and these judgments, which I command you this day to do.
12 Le wò seawo dzi wɔwɔ ta la, Yehowa, wò Mawu la awɔ ɖe eƒe nubabla si wòtsɔ lɔ̃ wò kple fofowòwo la dzi.
And it shall come to pass when you shall have heard these ordinances, and shall have kept and done them, that the Lord your God shall keep for you the covenant and the mercy, which he sware to your 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 you, and bless you, and multiply you; and he will bless the off-spring of your body, and the fruit of your land, your corn, and your wine, and your oil, the herds of your oxen, and the flocks of your sheep, on the land which the Lord sware to your fathers to give to you.
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.
You shall be blessed beyond all nations; there shall not be among you an impotent or barren one, 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 your God shall remove from you all sickness; and none of the evil diseases of Egypt, which you have seen, and all that you have known, will he lay upon you; but he will lay them upon all that hate you.
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 you shall eat all the spoils of the nations which the Lord your God gives you; your eye shall not spare them, and you shall not serve their gods; for this is an offense to you.
17 Ɖewohĩ miabia mia ɖokuiwo be, “Dukɔ siawo sesẽ wu mí, aleke míate ŋu awɔ anya wo ɖa?”
But if you should say in your heart, This nation [is] greater than I, how shall I be able to destroy them utterly?
18 Ke migavɔ̃ wo o! Miɖo ŋku nu si Yehowa, miaƒe Mawu la wɔ Farao kple Egiptenyigba blibo la
you shall not fear them; you shall surely remember all that the Lord your God did to Pharao and to all the Egyptians:
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 your eyes have seen, those signs and great wonders, the strong hand, and the high arm; how the Lord your God brought you forth: so the Lord your God will do to all the nations, whom you fear in their presence.
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.
And the Lord your God shall send against them the hornets, until they that are left and they that are hidden from you be utterly destroyed.
21 “Mègavɔ̃ dukɔ mawo o, elabena Yehowa, wò Mawu la le mia dome; Mawu ŋusẽtɔ kple ŋɔdzitɔ wònye.
You shall not be wounded before them, because the Lord your God in the midst of you [is] a great and powerful God.
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 your God shall consume these nations before you by little and little: you shall not be able to consume them speedily, lest the land become desert, and the wild beasts of the field be multiplied against you.
23 Ke Yehowa, wò Mawu la atsɔ wo ade asi na wò, ana woatɔtɔ va se ɖe esime woatsrɔ̃.
And the Lord your God shall deliver them into your hands, and you shall destroy them with a great destruction, until you shall have utterly destroyed them.
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 your hands, and you shall destroy their name from that place; none shall stand up in opposition before you, until you shall have utterly 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.
You shall burn with fire the graven images of their gods: you shall not covet [their] silver, neither shall you take to yourself gold from them, lest you should offend thereby, because it is an abomination to the Lord your 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.
And you shall not bring an abomination into your house, so should you be an accursed thing like it; you shall utterly hate it, and altogether abominate it, because it is an accursed thing.
