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.

Heare O Israel, Thou shalt passe ouer Iorden this day, to goe in and to possesse nations greater and mightier then thy selfe, and cities great and walled vp to heauen,

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 tall, euen the children of the Anakims, whom thou knowest, and of whom thou hast heard say, Who can stand before the children of Anak?

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.

Vnderstand therefore that this day ye Lord thy God is he which goeth ouer before thee as a consuming fire: he shall destroy them, and he shall bring them downe before thy face: so thou shalt cast them out and destroy them suddenly, as the Lord hath said vnto thee.

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.

Speake not thou in thine heart (after that the Lord thy God hath cast them out before thee) saying, For my righteousnesse the Lord hath brought me in, to possesse this land: but for the wickednesse of these nations the Lord hath cast them out before thee.

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.

For thou entrest not to inherite their lande for thy righteousnesse, or for thy vpright heart: but for the wickednesse of those nations, the Lord thy God doth cast them out before thee, and that he might performe the worde which the Lord thy God sware vnto thy fathers, Abraham, Izhak, and Iacob.

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.”

Vnderstand therefore, that ye Lord thy God giueth thee not this good land to possesse it for thy righteousnes: for thou art a stifnecked 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, and forget not, howe thou prouokedst the Lord thy God to anger in the wildernesse: since the day that thou diddest depart out of the land of Egypt, vntill ye came vnto this place ye haue rebelled against the Lord.

8 Mieɖo ŋku ale si miedo dɔmedzoe nɛ le Horeb to la gbɔ dzi oa? Enɔ klalo be yeatsrɔ̃ mi.

Also in Horeb ye prouoked the Lord to anger so that the Lord was wroth with you, euen 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 was gone vp into the mount, to receiue the tables of stone, the tables, I say, of the couenant, which the Lord made with you: and I abode in the mount fourtie daies and fourtie nights, and I neither ate bread nor yet dranke 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.

Then the Lord deliuered me two tables of stone, written with the finger of God, and in them was conteyned according to all the wordes which the Lord had said vnto you in the mount out of the middes of the fire, in the day of the assemblie.

11 Le ŋkeke blaeneawo kple zã blaeneawo ƒe nuwuwu la, Yehowa tsɔ kpe kpakpa eveawo, nubabla ƒe kpe kpakpawo nam.

And when the fourtie dayes and fourtie nightes were ended, the Lord gaue me the two tables of stone, the tables, I say, of the couenant.

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 vnto me, Arise, get thee downe quickly from hence: for thy people which thou hast brought out of Egypt, haue corrupt their wayes: they are soone turned out of the way, which I commanded them: they haue made them a molten image.

13 Tete Yehowa gblɔ nam be, “Mekpɔe be dukɔ sia nye ame kɔlialiatɔwo sɔŋ.

Furthermore, the Lord spake vnto me, saying, I haue seene this people, and beholde, it is a stifnecked 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.”

Let me alone, that I may destroy them, and put out their name from vnder heaue, and I wil make of thee a mightie nation, and greater then they be.

15 Metrɔ gbɔ tso to bibi la dzi le esime melé kpe eve siwo dzi Mawu ŋlɔ eƒe seawo ɖo la ɖe asi.

So I returned, and came downe from the Mount (and the Mount burnt with fire, and ye two Tables of the couenant were in my two handes)

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!

Then I looked, and beholde, ye had sinned against the Lord your God: for ye had made you a molten calfe, and had turned quickly out of the way which the Lord had commanded you.

17 Esia ta metsɔ kpe eveawo do ɖe dzi, eye mexlã wo ɖe anyi sesĩe! Megbã wo le mia ŋkume!

Therefore I tooke the two Tables, and cast them out of my two handes, and brake them before your eyes.

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 fell downe before the Lord, fourtie dayes, and fourtie nightes, as before: I neither ate bread nor dranke water, because of al your sinnes, which ye had committed, in doing wickedly in the sight of the Lord, in that ye prouoked him vnto wrath.

19 Mevɔ̃ ɖe mia nu ŋutɔŋutɔ, elabena Yehowa ɖo vevie be yeatsrɔ̃ mi. Ke egaɖo tom ɣe ma ɣi hã.

(For I was afraide of the wrath and indignation, wherewith the Lord was mooued against you, euen to destroy you) yet the Lord heard me at that 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.

Likewise ye Lord was very angrie with Aaron, euen to destroy him: but at that time I prayed also for Aaron.

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 I tooke your sinne, I meane the calfe which ye had made, and burnt him with fire, and stamped him and ground him small, euen vnto very dust: and I cast the dust thereof into the riuer, that descended out of the mount.

22 Miegado dɔmedzoe na Yehowa le Tabera, emegbe le Masa, eyome le Kibrot Hatava.

Also in Taberah, and in Massah and in Kibrothhattaauah ye prouoked ye Lord to anger.

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.

Likewise when the Lord sent you from Kadesh-barnea, saying, Goe vp, and possesse the land which I haue giuen you, then ye rebelled against the commandement of the Lord your God, and beleeued him not, nor hearkened vnto his voyce.

24 Ɛ̃, mienɔ aglã dzem ɖe Yehowa ŋu tso gbe si gbe ke menya mi,

Ye haue bene rebellious vnto the Lord, since the day that I knewe you.

25 eya ta metsyɔ mo anyi ɖe Yehowa ŋkume ŋkeke blaene kple zã blaene mawo me esime Yehowa di be yeatsrɔ̃ mi.

Then I fell downe before ye Lord fourtie dayes and fourtie nightes, as I fell downe before, because ye Lord had said, that he woulde 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 vnto the Lord, and saide, O Lord God, destroy not thy people and thine inheritance, which thou hast redeemed through thy greatnesse, whom thou hast brought out of Egypt by a mightie hand.

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 thy seruants Abraham, Izhak, and Iaakob: looke not to ye stubburnes of this people, nor to their wickednes, nor to their sinne,

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 countrey, whence thou broughtest them, say, Because ye Lord was not able to bring them into the land which he promised them, or because he hated them, he caried them out, to slay them in the wildernesse.

29 Wò amewo kple wò domenyilawo wonye, ame siwo nètsɔ wò ŋusẽ triakɔ kple abɔ sesẽ la kplɔ tso Egipte.”

Yet they are thy people, and thine inheritance, which thou broughtest out by thy mightie power, and by thy stretched out arme.
