Mose 5 8

1 “Ele be miawɔ ɖe se siwo katã mede na mi egbe la dzi. Ne miewɔ wo dzi la, miatsi agbe ɖeɖe ko o, ke boŋ miadzi sɔ gbɔ, eye miayi aɖaxɔ anyigba si ŋugbe Yehowa do na mia fofowo.

You shall observe to do all the commands which I charge you today, that you may live and be multiplied, and enter in and inherit the land, which the Lord your God sware [to give] to your fathers.

2 Mieɖo ŋku ale si Yehowa miaƒe Mawu kplɔ mi to gbedzi le ƒe blaene siawo sɔŋ me, bɔbɔ mi ɖe anyi, eye wòdo mi kpɔ be yeanya nu si miawɔ kple nenye be mialé yeƒe sewo me ɖe asi loo alo mialé wo me ɖe asi o la dzi.

And you shall remember all the way which the Lord your God led you in the wilderness, that he might afflict you, and try you, and that the things in your heart might be made manifest, whether you would keep his commandments or no.

3 Ɛ̃, ebɔbɔ mi ɖe anyi esi wòna dɔ wu mi, eye wòna mana mi be miaɖu. Miawo ŋutɔ kple mia tɔgbuiwo miekpɔ mana sia kpɔ o. Ewɔe be yeana mianya be menye nuɖuɖu koe nye nu sia nu o, eye mianyae be agbe ŋutɔ le Yehowa ƒe se ɖe sia ɖe dzi wɔwɔ me.

And he afflicted you and straitened you with hunger, and fed you with manna, which your fathers knew not; that he might teach you that man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God shall man live.

4 To ƒe blaene siawo katã me la, miaƒe awuwo mevuvu o, eye miaƒe afɔwo meɖo loholoho alo te o.

Your garments grew not old from off you, your shoes were not worn from off you, your feet were not [painfully] hardened, behold! these forty years.

5 Eya ta ele be miadze sii be Yehowa miaƒe Mawu hea to na mi be yeakpe ɖe mia ŋu abe ale si fofo hea to na via ene.

And you shall know in your heart, that as if any man should chasten his son, so the Lord your God will chasten you.

6 “Miwɔ ɖe Yehowa, miaƒe Mawu la ƒe seawo dzi. Mizɔ ɖe eƒe ɖoɖowo nu, eye miavɔ̃e,

And you shall keep the commands of the Lord your God, to walk in his ways, and to fear him.

7 elabena Yehowa, miaƒe Mawu la le mia kplɔm yina anyigba nyui la dzi, afi si tɔʋuwo, tawo, tsi dzidziwo, balimewo kple towo le.

For the Lord your God will bring you into a good and extensive land, where there are torrents of waters, and fountains of deep places issuing through the plains and through the mountains:

8 Lu, mɔlu, wainkawo, amitiwo, yevuboɖatiwo le anyigba sia dzi.

a land of wheat and barley, [wherein are] vines, figs, pomegranates; a land of olive oil and honey;

9 Nuɖuɖu bɔ ɖe anyigba sia dzi. Naneke mehiãa ame le afi ma o. Gayibɔ bɔ ɖe afi ma abe kpe ene, eye akɔbli sɔ gbɔ ɖe towo me.

a land on which you shall not eat your bread with poverty, and you shall not lack any thing upon it; a land whose stones are iron, and out of its mountains you shall dig brass.

10 Ne mieɖu nu ɖi ƒo la, mikafu Yehowa, mia Mawu la le anyigba nyui si wòna mi la ta.

And you shall eat and be filled, and shall bless the Lord your God on the good land, which he has given you.

11 “Ke ɣe ma ɣi tututu wòle be miaɖɔ ŋu ɖo! Mikpɔ nyuie be le ɣeyiɣi si nuɖuɖu bɔ ɖe mia si la, miagaŋlɔ Yehowa, miaƒe Mawu la be, eye miade asi aglãdzedze ɖe eŋu me o.

Take heed to yourself that you forget not the Lord your God, so as not to keep his commands, and his judgements, and ordinances, which I command you this day:

12 Ne mieɖu nu ɖi ƒo, nuwo dze edzi na mi, mietu xɔ nyuiwo,

lest when you have eaten and are full, and have built goodly houses, and lived in them;

13 miaƒe lãwo dzi, eye miaƒe klosalo kple sika sɔ gbɔ ɖe edzi la,

and your oxen and your sheep are multiplied to you, and your silver and your gold are multiplied to you, and all your possessions are multiplied to you,

14 ɣe ma ɣi tututue wòle be miaɖɔ ŋu ɖo be miagaŋlɔ Yehowa, míaƒe Mawu, si kplɔ mi tso miaƒe kluvinyenye me le Egiptenyigba dzi la be o.

you should be exalted in heart, and forget the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage:

15 Mikpɔ nyuie be, miagaŋlɔ Mawu, ame si kplɔ mi to gbedzi dziŋɔ la dzi, afi si da aɖivɔ̃wo kple ahɔ̃wo bɔ ɖo, teƒe si xɔ dzo heƒu la be o. Ena tsi mi tso Agakpe la me!

who brought you through that great and terrible wilderness, where [is] the biting serpent, and scorpion, and drought, where there was no water; who brought you a fountain of water out of the flinty rock:

16 Ena mana mi mieɖu le gbedzi. Mana nye abolo aɖe si tɔgbi ame aɖeke mekpɔ kpɔ do ŋgɔ o. Mawu wɔ esia be miabɔbɔ mia ɖokui ale be miaƒe ŋuɖoɖo ɖe ye ŋu nadzi ɖe edzi, eye yeawɔ nyui na mi.

who fed you with manna in the wilderness, which you knew not, and your fathers knew not; that he might afflict you, and thoroughly try you, and do you good in your latter days.

17 Ewɔ esia, ale be miabu ɣe aɖeke ɣi be miawo ŋutɔ miaƒe ŋusẽ mee mieto zu hotsuitɔwo o.

Lest you should say in your heart, My strength, and the power of mine hand have wrought for me this great wealth.

18 Miɖo ŋku edzi ɣe sia ɣi be Yehowa, miaƒe Mawu la na ŋutete mi be miazu hotsuitɔwo. Ena miezu hotsuitɔwo be yeawɔ ɖe ŋugbe si yedo na mia fofowo la dzi.

But you shall remember the Lord your God, that he gives you strength to get wealth; even that he may establish his covenant, which the Lord sware to your fathers, as at this day.

19 Ke ne mieŋlɔ Yehowa, miaƒe Mawu la be, hesubɔ mawu bubuwo ɖe eteƒe, eye miedze nu vɔ̃ mɔwo dzi la, miatsrɔ̃ godoo,

And it shall come to pass if you do at all forget the Lord your God, and should go after other gods, and serve them, and worship them, I call heaven and earth to witness against you this day, that you shall surely perish.

20 abe ale si Yehowa na dukɔ bubuwo tsrɔ̃ va yi la ene. Miawo hã miatsrɔ̃ nenema ke, ne miewɔ ɖe Yehowa, míaƒe Mawu la ƒe seawo dzi o.”

As also the other nations which the Lord God destroys before your face, so shall you perish, because you listened not to the voice of the Lord your God.
