Mose 2 19
1 Le Israelviwo ƒe dzodzo le Egipte ƒe ɣleti etɔ̃ megbe la, wova ɖo Sinai gbedzi.
In the third month after the sons of Israel were gone forth out of the land of Egypt, the same day they came into the wilderness of Sinai.
2 Esi woho tso Refidim la, wova ɖo Sinai gbegbe la, eye Israel ƒu asaɖa anyi ɖe afi ma le to la te.
And when they were departed from Rephidim, and came to the wilderness of Sinai, they encamped in the wilderness, and there Israel encamped before the mount.
3 Mose lia to la yi Mawu gbɔ, eye Yehowa yɔe tso to la dzi gblɔ nɛ be, “Gblɔ na Yakob ƒomeawo, eye ale nàɖe gbeƒãe na Israelviwoe nye esi,
And Moses went up to God. And Jehovah called to him out of the mountain, saying, Thus thou shall say to the house of Jacob, and tell the sons of Israel:
4 ‘Miawo ŋutɔ miekpɔ nu si mewɔ Egiptetɔwo kple ale si mekplɔ mi va ɖokuinye gbɔ abe ɖe metsɔ mi ɖe hɔ̃ ƒe aʋalãwo dzi ene.
Ye have seen what I did to the Egyptians, and how I bore you on eagles' wings, and brought you to myself.
5 Azɔ la, ne miaɖo tom, eye miawɔ nye nubabla dzi la, mianye nye ame tiatiawo le xexemedukɔwo katã dome, elabena tɔnyee nye xexea me katã.
Now therefore, if ye will obey my voice indeed, and keep my covenant, then ye shall be my own possession from among all peoples, for all the earth is mine,
6 Gawu la, mianye nunɔlawo ƒe fiaɖuƒe kple dukɔ kɔkɔe aɖe nam.’ Nya siawo nàgblɔ na Israelviwo.”
and ye shall be to me a kingdom of priests, and a holy nation. These are the words which thou shall speak to the sons of Israel.
7 Esi Mose trɔ gbɔ tso to la dzi la, eyɔ kplɔlawo ƒo ƒu, eye wògblɔ nya si Yehowa gblɔ nɛ la na wo.
And Moses came and called for the elders of the people, and set before them all these words which Jehovah commanded him.
8 Wo katã wolɔ̃ ɖe edzi kple gbe ɖeka be, “Míawɔ nu sia nu si wòadi tso mía si be míawɔ.” Mose gblɔ nya si ameawo gblɔ la na Yehowa.
And all the people answered together, and said, All that Jehovah has spoken we will do. And Moses reported the words of the people to Jehovah.
9 Yehowa gblɔ na Mose be, “Mele gbɔwò va ge le lilikpo dodo aɖe me, ale be ameawo ŋutɔ nate ŋu ase nye gbe ne mele nu ƒom na wò, ekema woaxɔ dziwò ase ɣe sia ɣi.” Eye Mose gblɔ dukɔ la ƒe nyawo na Yehowa.
And Jehovah said to Moses, Lo, I come to thee in a thick cloud, that the people may hear when I speak with thee, and may also believe thee forever. And Moses told the words of the people to Jehovah.
10 Eye Yehowa gblɔ na Mose be, “Yi dukɔ la gbɔ, eye nàkpɔ be ameawo le klalo na nye vava. Kɔ wo ŋuti egbe kple etsɔ, eye nàna woanya woƒe awuwo.
And Jehovah said to Moses, Go to the people, and sanctify them today and tomorrow, and let them wash their garments,
11 Ekema ŋkeke etɔ̃a gbe la, maɖi tso Sinai to la dzi le ame sia ame ŋkume.
and be ready for the third day, for the third day Jehovah will come down in the sight of all the people upon mount Sinai.
12 Ɖo liƒo siwo ŋu ameawo magbɔ o la na wo. Gblɔ na wo be, ‘Mikpɔ nyuie be mialia to la alo aka asi eŋu gɔ̃ hã o. Ame sia ame si da le se sia dzi la dze na ku.
And thou shall set bounds to the people round about, saying, Take heed to yourselves, that ye not go up onto the mount, or touch the border of it. Whoever touches the mount shall be surely put to death;
13 Ame aɖeke maka asi sedzidala sia ŋu o, ke boŋ woaƒu kpee alo woatee kple da wòaku. Woawɔ amegbetɔwo kple lãwo siaa nenema.’ Migate ɖe toa ŋu kura o va se ɖe esime miase lãdzokpẽ aɖe ƒe ɖiɖi zi ɖeka sesĩe. Ekema miaƒo ƒu ɖe to la te!”
no hand shall touch him, but he shall surely be stoned, or shot through, whether it be beast or man, he shall not live. When the trumpet sounds long, they shall come up to the mount.
14 Ale Mose ɖi tso to la dzi va ameawo gbɔ. Ekɔ wo ŋuti, eye wonya woƒe awuwo.
And Moses went down from the mount to the people, and sanctified the people, and they washed their garments.
15 Mose gblɔ na wo be, “Midzra ɖo na Mawu ƒe vava le ŋkeke eve megbe. Migadɔ kple nyɔnu aɖeke o.”
And he said to the people, Be ready for the third day. Come not near a woman.
16 Le ŋkeke etɔ̃lia ƒe ŋdi la, dzi de asi gbeɖeɖe kple dzokeke me ŋɔdzitɔe. Lilikpo dodo gã aɖe va dze ɖe to la dzi. Kpẽ aɖe ɖi sesĩe ɣeyiɣi didi aɖe abe lãdzokpẽ ene, eye ame sia ame dzo nyanyanya kple vɔvɔ̃.
And it came to pass on the third day, when it was morning, that there were thunders and lightnings, and a thick cloud upon the mount, and the voice of an exceedingly loud trumpet. And all the people who were in the camp trembled.
17 Mose kplɔ wo tso woƒe agbadɔwo me be woado go Mawu; ena wotsi tsitre ɖe to la te.
And Moses brought forth the people out of the camp to meet God, and they stood at the lower part of the mount.
18 Dzudzɔ tsyɔ Sinai to blibo la dzi, elabena Yehowa ɖi ɖe edzi le dzo ƒe nɔnɔme me. Dzudzɔ la yi dzi ʋĩi abe kpodzo gã aɖe ƒe dzudzɔ ene. To blibo la ʋuʋu kpekpekpe.
And mount Sinai, the whole of it, smoked, because Jehovah descended upon it in fire, and the smoke of it ascended as the smoke of a furnace. And the whole mount quaked greatly.
19 Esi kpẽ la ƒe ɖiɖi ganɔ sesẽm ɖe edzi la, Mose ƒo nu, eye Mawu ɖo eŋu nɛ kple gbe sesẽ aɖe.
And when the voice of the trumpet grew louder and louder, Moses spoke, and God answered him by a voice.
20 Yehowa ɖi va Sinai to la tame. Eyɔ Mose be wòava to la dzi, eye Mose lia to la yi egbɔ.
And Jehovah came down upon mount Sinai, to the top of the mount. And Jehovah called Moses to the top of the mount, and Moses went up.
21 Yehowa gblɔ na Mose be, “Ɖi nàyi ameawo gbɔ, eye nàde se na wo be ame aɖeke mekpɔ mɔ agbɔ liƒoawo dzi o. Mele be woava afi sia, adze agbagba be yewoakpɔm o. Ame si ake atse la aku.
And Jehovah said to Moses, Go down, command the people, lest they break through to Jehovah to gaze, and many of them perish.
22 Ele na nunɔla siwo ate ɖe Yehowa ŋu gɔ̃ hã be woakɔ wo ɖokuiwo ŋuti; ne menye nenema o la, Yehowa atsrɔ̃ wo.”
And let the priests also, who come near to Jehovah, sanctify themselves, lest Jehovah break forth upon them.
23 Mose ɖo nya sia ŋu na Yehowa be, “Ameawo mava Sinai toa dzi o, elabena ède se na wo be womekpɔ mɔ ava o. Ègblɔ nam be maɖo liƒowo ƒo xlã to la, eye mana ameawo nanya be womekpɔ mɔ ada ata liƒoawo o, elabena wotso teƒe si le liƒoawo godo la ɖi na wò.”
And Moses said to Jehovah, The people cannot come up to mount Sinai, for thou commanded us, saying, Set bounds about the mount, and sanctify it.
24 Ke Yehowa gagblɔ na Mose be, “Ɖi nàyi, eye nàkplɔ Aron ɖe asi vɛ. Mègaɖe mɔ be nunɔlawo kple ameawo nagbɔ liƒoawo dzi be yewoava afi sia o. Ne wotee kpɔ la, matsrɔ̃ wo.”
And Jehovah said to him, Go, get thee down. And thou shall come up, thou, and Aaron with thee, but do not let the priests and the people break through to come up to Jehovah, lest he break forth upon them.
25 Ale Mose ɖi yi ameawo gbɔ, eye wògblɔ nya si Mawu gblɔ nɛ la na wo.
So Moses went down to the people, and told them.
