Mose 2 19
1 Le Israelviwo ƒe dzodzo le Egipte ƒe ɣleti etɔ̃ megbe la, wova ɖo Sinai gbedzi.
In the third month, when the children of Israel were gone forth out of the land of Egypt, the same day came they 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.
For they were departed from Rephidim, and were come to the desert of Sinai, and had pitched in the wilderness; and there Israel camped 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 the LORD called to him out of the mountain, saying, Thus shall you say to the house of Jacob, and tell the children 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.
You 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 you will obey my voice indeed, and keep my covenant, then you shall be a peculiar treasure to me above all people: for all the earth is mine:
6 Gawu la, mianye nunɔlawo ƒe fiaɖuƒe kple dukɔ kɔkɔe aɖe nam.’ Nya siawo nàgblɔ na Israelviwo.”
And you shall be to me a kingdom of priests, and an holy nation. These are the words which you shall speak to the children 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 laid before their faces all these words which the LORD 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 the LORD has spoken we will do. And Moses returned the words of the people to the LORD.
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 the LORD said to Moses, See, I come to you in a thick cloud, that the people may hear when I speak with you, and believe you for ever. And Moses told the words of the people to the LORD.
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 the LORD said to Moses, Go to the people, and sanctify them to day and to morrow, and let them wash their clothes,
11 Ekema ŋkeke etɔ̃a gbe la, maɖi tso Sinai to la dzi le ame sia ame ŋkume.
And be ready against the third day: for the third day the LORD will come down in the sight of all the people on 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 you shall set bounds to the people round about, saying, Take heed to yourselves, that you go not up into 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!”
There shall not an hand touch it, but he shall surely be stoned, or shot through; whether it be beast or man, it 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 clothes.
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 against the third day: come not at your wives.
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 in the morning, that there were thunders and lightning, and a thick cloud on the mount, and the voice of the trumpet exceeding loud; so that all the people that was 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 with God; and they stood at the nether 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 was altogether on a smoke, because the LORD descended on it in fire: and the smoke thereof 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 sounded long, and waxed 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 the LORD came down on mount Sinai, on the top of the mount: and the LORD called Moses up 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 the LORD said to Moses, Go down, charge the people, lest they break through to the LORD 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, which come near to the LORD, sanctify themselves, lest the LORD break forth on 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 the LORD, The people cannot come up to mount Sinai: for you charged 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 the LORD said to him, Away, get you down, and you shall come up, you, and Aaron with you: but let not the priests and the people break through to come up to the LORD, lest he break forth on 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 spoke to them.
