< Mose 5 9 >

1 “O! Israel, see. Èle Yɔdan tɔsisi la tso ge egbe, eye nàde asi dukɔ siwo le tɔsisi la godo la nyanya me. Dukɔ mawo tri akɔ, eye wosẽ wu wò! Woɖo gli kɔkɔwo ƒo xlã woƒe duwo.
Hear, O Israel: You go this day across Jordan to inherit nations greater and stronger than yourselves, cities great and walled up to heaven;
2 Anak ƒe viwo, ame siwo nye ame dzɔatsuwo, eye dukɔ aɖeke mate ŋu anɔ te ɖe wo nu o la le wo dome.
a people great and many and tall, the sons of Enac, whom you know, and concerning whom you have heard [say], Who can stand before the children of Enac?
3 Ke Yehowa, wò Mawu la anɔ ŋgɔ na wò abe dzo si fiaa nu ene be yeatsrɔ̃ wo ale be nàte ŋu aɖu wo dzi kaba, eye nànya wo ɖa le anyigba la dzi.
And you shall know today, that the Lord your God he shall go before your face: he is a consuming fire; he shall destroy them, and he shall turn them back before you, and shall destroy them quickly, as the Lord said to you.
4 “Ne Yehowa miaƒe Mawu wɔ esia na wò la, mègagblɔ na ɖokuiwò be, ‘Yehowae ve nunye, elabena menye ame dzɔdzɔe o.’ Mele nenema o. Dukɔ kemɛwo ƒe vɔ̃ɖivɔ̃ɖi tae Yehowa le esia wɔ ge ɖo.
Speak not in your heart, when the Lord your God has destroyed these nations before your face, saying, For my righteousness the Lord brought me in to inherit this good land.
5 Menye esi mienye ame nyui dzɔdzɔewo tae Yehowa anya wo ɖa le mia ŋgɔ ɖo o! Megale egblɔm na mi be, dukɔ kemɛwo ƒe vɔ̃ɖivɔ̃ɖi tae hekpe ɖe Yehowa miaƒe Mawu ƒe ŋugbe si wòdo na mia fofowo, Abraham, Isak kple Yakob ŋu ta koe.
Not for your righteousness, nor for the holiness of your heart, do you go in to inherit their land, but because of the wickedness of these nations the Lord will destroy them from before you, and that he may establish the covenant, which the Lord sware to our fathers, to Abraam, and to Isaac, and to Jacob.
6 Megale egblɔm ake be, Yehowa, miaƒe Mawu la mele anyigba nyui sia tsɔm na mi le miaƒe nyonyo ta o, elabena mienyo o. Mienye dukɔ vɔ̃ɖi kple kɔlialiatɔwo.”
And you shall know today, that [it is] not for your righteousnesses the Lord your God gives you this good land to inherit, for you are a stiff-necked people.
7 Migaŋlɔ be o, ke boŋ miɖo ŋku ale si miedo dɔmedzoe na Yehowa, miaƒe Mawu la enuenu le gbedzi, tso gbe si gbe miedzo le Egipte va se ɖe fifia dzi. Miedze aglã ɖe eŋu le ɣeyiɣi siawo katã me.
Remember, forget not, how much you provoked the Lord your God in the wilderness: from the day that you came forth out of Egypt, even till you came into this place, you continued to be disobedient towards the Lord.
8 Mieɖo ŋku ale si miedo dɔmedzoe nɛ le Horeb to la gbɔ dzi oa? Enɔ klalo be yeatsrɔ̃ mi.
Also in Choreb you provoked the Lord, and the Lord was angry with you to destroy you;
9 Menɔ toa dzi ɣe ma ɣi, eye menɔ nubabla si Yehowa wɔ kpli mi, si nye kpe siwo dzi wòŋlɔ seawo ɖo la xɔm. Menɔ afi ma ŋkeke blaene kple zã blaene. Nyemeɖu naneke le ɣeyiɣi ma katã me o. Nyemeno tsi gɔ̃ hã o.
when I went up into the mountain to receive the tables of stone, the tables of the covenant, which the Lord made with you, and I was in the mountain forty days and forty nights, I ate no bread and drank no water.
10 Yehowa tsɔ kpe kpakpa eve siwo dzi Mawu tsɔ eƒe asibidɛ ŋlɔ nu ɖo la nam. Se siwo katã Yehowa de na mí le toa dzi to dzo me le miaƒe takpegbe la le wo dzi.
And the Lord gave me the two tables of stone written with the finger of God, and on them there had been written all the words which the Lord spoke to you in the mountain in the day of the assembly.
11 Le ŋkeke blaeneawo kple zã blaeneawo ƒe nuwuwu la, Yehowa tsɔ kpe kpakpa eveawo, nubabla ƒe kpe kpakpawo nam.
And it came to pass after forty days and forty nights, the Lord gave me the two tables of stone, the tables of the covenant.
12 Egblɔ nam be maɖi yi anyigba kaba, elabena dukɔ si mekplɔ tso Egipte la gblẽ kɔ ɖo na eɖokui; eɖe asi le Mawu ƒe seawo ŋu kaba, eye wòlolõ ga hetsɔ wɔ legbae.
And the Lord said to me, Arise, go down quickly from hence, for your people whom you brought out of the land of Egypt have transgressed; they have gone aside quickly out of the way which I commanded them, and have made themselves a molten image.
13 Tete Yehowa gblɔ nam be, “Mekpɔe be dukɔ sia nye ame kɔlialiatɔwo sɔŋ.
And the Lord spoke to me, saying, I have spoken to you once and again, saying, I have seen this people, and, behold, it is a stiff-necked people.
14 Ɖe asi le ŋunye matsrɔ̃ wo, matutu woƒe ŋkɔwo ɖa le dziƒoa te, eye mawɔ wò boŋ wò dzidzimeviwo woazu dukɔ si akpɔ ŋusẽ, eye wòalolo wu Israel.”
And now suffer me utterly to destroy them, and I will blot out their name from under heaven, and will make of you a nation great and strong, and more numerous than this.
15 Metrɔ gbɔ tso to bibi la dzi le esime melé kpe eve siwo dzi Mawu ŋlɔ eƒe seawo ɖo la ɖe asi.
And I turned and went down from the mountain; and the mountain burnt with fire to heaven; and the two tables of the testimonies [were] in my two hands.
16 Le toa te la, mekpɔ nyivi si miewɔ le miaƒe nu vɔ̃ si miewɔ ɖe Yehowa miaƒe Mawu ŋu me. Miegbugbɔ le Yehowa yome kaba ŋutɔ!
And when I saw that you had sinned against the Lord your God, and had made to yourselves a molten image, and had gone astray out of the way, which the Lord commanded you to keep;
17 Esia ta metsɔ kpe eveawo do ɖe dzi, eye mexlã wo ɖe anyi sesĩe! Megbã wo le mia ŋkume!
then I took hold of the two tables, and cast them out of my two hands, and broke them before you.
18 Le esia megbe la, meganɔ Yehowa ŋkume ŋkeke blaene kple zã blaene numaɖumaɖu, tsimanomano, elabena miewɔ nu si Yehowa lé fui wu nu sia nu, eye miena wòdo dɔmedzoe vevie ŋutɔ.
And I made my petition before the Lord as also at the first forty days and forty nights: I ate no bread and drank no water, on account of all your sins which you sinned in doing evil before the Lord God to provoke him.
19 Mevɔ̃ ɖe mia nu ŋutɔŋutɔ, elabena Yehowa ɖo vevie be yeatsrɔ̃ mi. Ke egaɖo tom ɣe ma ɣi hã.
And I was greatly terrified because of the wrath and anger, because the Lord was provoked with you utterly to destroy you; yet the Lord listened to me at this time also.
20 Aron ɖo xaxa gã aɖe me, elabena Yehowa do dɔmedzoe ɖe eŋu ŋutɔ. Ke medo gbe ɖa, eye Yehowa kpɔ nublanui nɛ.
And he was angry with Aaron to destroy him utterly, and I prayed for Aaron also at that time.
21 Metsɔ miaƒe nu vɔ̃ si nye nyivi si miewɔ la, medee dzo me, tui memie wòzu ʋuʋudedi, eye metsɔ ʋuʋudedi la kɔ ɖe tɔʋu si dzɔ tso toa dzi la me.
And your sin which you had made, [even] the calf, I took, and burnt it with fire, and pounded it and ground it down till it became fine; and it became like dust, and I cast the dust into the brook that descended from the mountain.
22 Miegado dɔmedzoe na Yehowa le Tabera, emegbe le Masa, eyome le Kibrot Hatava.
Also in the burning, and in the temptation, and at the graves of lust, you provoked the Lord.
23 Le Kades Barnea la, esi Yehowa gblɔ na mi be miage ɖe anyigba si wòtsɔ na mi dzi la, miedze aglã ɖe eŋuti, eye miexɔe se be akpe ɖe mia ŋu o. Miegbe toɖoɖoe.
And when the Lord sent you forth from Cades Barne, saying, Go up and inherit the land which I give to you, then you disobeyed the word of the Lord your God, and believed him not, and listened not to his voice.
24 Ɛ̃, mienɔ aglã dzem ɖe Yehowa ŋu tso gbe si gbe ke menya mi,
You were disobedient in the things relating to the Lord from the day in which he became known to you.
25 eya ta metsyɔ mo anyi ɖe Yehowa ŋkume ŋkeke blaene kple zã blaene mawo me esime Yehowa di be yeatsrɔ̃ mi.
And I prayed before the Lord forty days and forty nights, the number that I prayed [before], for the Lord said that he would utterly destroy you.
26 “Medo gbe ɖa na Yehowa be, Aƒetɔ Yehowa, mègatsrɔ̃ wò ŋutɔ wò amewo o. Wò ŋutɔ wò domenyinu si nèɖe kple wò ŋusẽ triakɔ, eye nèɖe wo tso Egipte kple asi sesẽ.
And I prayed to God, and said, O Lord, King of gods, destroy not your people and your inheritance, whom you did redeem, whom you brought out of the land of Egypt with your great power, and with your strong hand, and with your high arm.
27 Ɖo ŋku wò dɔlawo, Abraham, Isak kple Yakob dzi. Mègaɖo ŋku ame siawo ƒe kɔlialia kple woƒe vɔ̃ɖivɔ̃ɖi kple woƒe nu vɔ̃wo dzi o.
Remember Abraam, and Isaac, and Jacob your servants, to whom you sware by yourself: look not upon the hardness of heart of this people, and their impieties, and their sins.
28 Ne menye nenema o la, dukɔ si me nèkplɔ mí do go tso la agblɔ be, ‘Esi Yehowa mete ŋu kplɔ wo yi anyigba si ƒe ŋugbe wòdo na wo dzi o, eye esi wòlé fu wo ta la, ekplɔ wo do goe be yeawu wo le gbedzi.’
Lest the inhabitants of the land whence you brought us out speak, saying, Because the Lord could not bring them into the land of which he spoke to them, and because he hated them, has he brought them forth to kill them in the wilderness.
29 Wò amewo kple wò domenyilawo wonye, ame siwo nètsɔ wò ŋusẽ triakɔ kple abɔ sesẽ la kplɔ tso Egipte.”
And these [are] your people and your portion, whom you brought out of the land of Egypt with your great strength, and with your mighty hand, and with your high arm.
