Mose 2 20

1 Eye Mawu gblɔ nya siawo be:

And the Lord spoke all these words, saying:

2 “Nyee nye Yehowa, wò Mawu, si ɖe wò tso kluvinyenye me le Egiptenyigba dzi.

I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.

3 “Mawu bubu aɖeke meganɔ asiwò kpe ɖe ŋunye o.

You shall have no other gods beside me.

4 Mègawɔ legba aɖeke na ɖokuiwò ɖe nu siwo le dziƒo alo le anyigba dzi alo le atsiaƒu me la ƒe nɔnɔme me o.

You shall not make to yourself an idol, nor likeness of anything, whatever things are in the heaven above, and whatever are in the earth beneath, and whatever are in the waters under the earth.

5 Mègade ta agu na wo alo asubɔ wo o, elabena nye Yehowa, wò Mawu la, Mawu ʋãŋue menye. Mehea to na ame siwo léa fum la ƒe viwo va se ɖe dzidzime etɔ̃lia kple enelia dzi,

You shall not bow down to them, nor serve them; for I am the Lord your God, a jealous God, recompensing the sins of the fathers upon the children, to the third and fourth generation to them that hate me,

6 Ke meɖea nye lɔlɔ̃ fiaa dzidzime akpe nane siwo lɔ̃am, eye wowɔa nye seawo dzi.

and bestowing mercy on them that love me to thousands [of them], and on them that keep my commandments.

7 Mègayɔ Yehowa, wò Mawu la ƒe ŋkɔ dzodzro o, elabena Yehowa magbe tohehe na ame siwo yɔa eƒe ŋkɔ dzodzro la o.

You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain; for the Lord your God will not acquit him that takes his name in vain.

8 Ɖo ŋku Dzudzɔgbe la dzi, eye nàwɔe kɔkɔe.

Remember the sabbath day to keep it holy.

9 Wɔ wò dɔwo katã le ŋkeke ade me.

Six days you shall labour, and shall perform all your work.

10 Ke ŋkeke adrelia nye dzudzɔgbe le Yehowa, wò Mawu la ŋkume. Mele be wò ŋutɔ, viwò ŋutsu alo viwò nyɔnu, wò kluvi alo wò kosi, wò nyi alo wò amedzro gɔ̃ hã nawɔ dɔ aɖeke ƒomevi gbe ma gbe o,

But on the seventh day is the sabbath of the Lord your God; on it you shall do no work, you, nor your son, nor your daughter, your servant nor your maidservant, your ox nor your ass, nor any cattle of your, nor the stranger that sojourns with you.

11 elabena le ŋkeke ade mee Yehowa wɔ dziƒo, anyigba, atsiaƒu kple nu siwo katã le wo me, eye wòdzudzɔ le ŋkeke adrelia gbe, eya ta Yehowa yra Dzudzɔgbe la, eye wòwɔe kɔkɔe.

For in six days the Lord made the heaven and the earth, and the sea and all things in them, and rested on the seventh day; therefore the Lord blessed the seventh day, and hallowed it.

12 Bu fofowò kple dawò be nànɔ agbe didi le anyigba si Yehowa, wò Mawu la ana wò la dzi.

Honour your father and your mother, that it may be well with you, and that you may live long on the good land, which the Lord your God gives to you.

13 Mègawu ame o.

You shall not commit adultery.

14 Mègawɔ ahasi o.

You shall not steal.

15 Mègafi fi o.

You shall not kill.

16 Mègaɖi aʋatsoɖase ɖe hawòvi ŋuti o.

You shall not bear false witness against your neighbour.

17 Mègabiã ŋu ɖe hawòvi ƒe aƒe, alo srɔ̃a alo eƒe dɔlaŋutsu alo dɔlanyɔnu alo eƒe nyiwo alo eƒe tedziwo loo alo nu sia nu si nye etɔ la ƒe ɖeke ŋu o.”

You shall not covet your neighbour's wife; you shall not covet your neighbour's house; nor his field, nor his servant, nor his maid, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any of his cattle, nor whatever belongs to your neighbour.

18 Ameawo katã kpɔ dzikedzo kple dzudzɔ si nɔ tutum le to la me. Wose dziɖegbe la kple kpẽkuku didi dziŋɔ la. Wotsi tsitre ɖe adzɔge henɔ dzodzom nyanyanya kple vɔvɔ̃.

And all the people perceived the thundering, and the flashes, and the voice of the trumpet, and the mountain smoking; and all the people feared and stood afar off,

19 Wogblɔ na Mose be, “Wò boŋ gblɔ nya si Mawu le gbɔgblɔm la na mí, eye míawɔ edzi. Ke mègana Mawu ŋutɔ naƒo nu na mí o; ne menye nenema o la, ava wu mí.”

and said to Moses, Speak you to us, and let not God speak to us, lest we die.

20 Mose gblɔ na wo be, “Migavɔ̃ o, elabena Mawu va le nɔnɔme sia me be yeaɖe yeƒe ŋusẽ dziŋɔ la afia mi, ale be tso azɔ dzi yina la, miagawɔ nu vɔ̃ o.”

And Moses says to them, Be of good courage, for God is come to you to try you, that his fear may be amongst you, that you sin not.

21 Le esime ameawo le tsitre ɖe adzɔge la, Mose ge ɖe blukɔ si me Mawu nɔ la me.

And the people stood afar off, and Moses went into the darkness where God was.

22 Yehowa gblɔ nya siawo na Mose be, “Gblɔ na Israelviwo be, ‘Miawo ŋutɔ miekpɔe be meɖe nye lɔlɔ̃nu fia mi tso dziƒo.

And the Lord said to Moses, Thus shall you say to the house of Jacob, and you shall report it to the children of Israel, You have seen that I have spoken to you from heaven.

23 Miɖo ŋku edzi be miekpɔ mɔ awɔ legba aɖeke kple klosalo alo sika alo kple nu bubu aɖeke asubɔ o!

You shall not make to yourselves gods of silver, and gods of gold you shall not make to yourselves.

24 “‘Mitsɔ anyi ɖi vɔsamlekpuiwo nam. Miwɔ miaƒe numevɔsawo kple akpedavɔsawo kple alẽwo kple nyiwo le wo dzi nam. Miɖi vɔsamlekpuiwo ɖe teƒe siwo mafia mi la ko, eye mava yra mi le teƒe mawo.

You shall make to me an altar of earth; and upon it you shall sacrifice your whole burnt offerings, and your peace-offerings, and your sheep and your calves in every place, where I shall record my name; and I will come to you and bless you.

25 Miate ŋu aɖi vɔsamlekpuiwo kple kpewo hã, gake miwɔ kpe siwo womekpa alo fu o la ko ŋu dɔ. Migakpa kpeawo kple dɔwɔnu aɖeke o, elabena ne miekpa wo la, womagadze be woawɔ wo ŋu dɔ hena vɔsamlekpuiɖiɖi nam o.

And if you will make to me an altar of stones, you shall not build them hewn [stones]; for you have lifted up your tool upon them, and they are defiled.

26 Mègawɔ atrakpuiwo ɖe vɔsamlekpui la ŋu o. Ne èwɔ wo, eye nèlia wo la, ame aɖe ate ŋu awu mo dzi, eye wòakpɔ wò amame to wò awu ʋlaya la te.’

You shall not go up to my altar by steps, that you may not uncover your nakedness upon it.
