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.

All the commandments which I command you this day shall all of you observe to do, that all of you may live, and multiply, and go in and possess the land which the LORD swore unto 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 these forty years in the wilderness, to humble you, and to prove you, to know what was in your heart, 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 humbled you, and suffered you to hunger, and fed you with manna, which you knew not, neither did your fathers know; that he might make you know that man does not live by bread only, but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of the LORD does man live.

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

Your raiment waxed not old upon you, neither did your foot swell, 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.

You shall also consider in your heart, that, as a man chastens his son, so the LORD your God chastens you.

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

Therefore you shall keep the commandments 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 brings you into a good land, a land of brooks of water, of fountains and depths that spring out of valleys and hills;

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

A land of wheat, and barley, and vines, and fig trees, and pomegranates; a land of oil olive, 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 wherein you shall eat bread without scarceness, you shall not lack any thing in it; a land whose stones are iron, and out of whose hills you may dig brass.

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

When you have eaten and are full, then you shall bless the LORD your God for 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.

Beware that you forget not the LORD your God, in not keeping his commandments, and his judgments, and his statutes, 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 dwelt therein;

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

And when your herds and your flocks multiply, and your silver and your gold is multiplied, and all that you have is multiplied;

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.

Then your heart be lifted up, and you forget the LORD your God, which brought you forth out of the land of Egypt, from 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 led you through that great and terrible wilderness, wherein were fiery serpents, and scorpions, and drought, where there was no water; who brought you forth water out of the rock of flint;

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 in the wilderness with manna, which your fathers knew not, that he might humble you, and that he might prove you, to do you good at your latter end;

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

And you say in your heart, My power and the might of mine hand has got me this 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: for it is he that gives you power to get wealth, that he may establish his covenant which he swore unto your fathers, as it is 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 be, if you do at all forget the LORD your God, and walk after other gods, and serve them, and worship them, I testify against you this day that all of 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 the nations which the LORD destroys before your face, so shall all of you perish; because all of you would not be obedient unto the voice of the LORD your God.
