Mose 2 20

1 Eye Mawu gblɔ nya siawo be:

Then God spake all these wordes, saying,

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

I am the Lord thy God, which haue brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.

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

Thou shalt haue none other Gods before 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.

Thou shalt make thee no grauen image, neither any similitude of things that are in heauen aboue, neither that are in the earth beneath, nor that are in the waters vnder 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,

Thou shalt not bowe downe to them, neither serue them: for I am the Lord thy God, a ielous God, visiting the iniquitie of the fathers vpon the children, vpon the third generation and vpon the fourth of them that hate me:

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

And shewing mercie vnto thousandes to them that loue me, and keepe my commandemets.

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

Thou shalt not take the Name of the Lord thy God in vaine: for the Lord will not hold him guiltles that taketh his Name in vayne.

8 Ɖo ŋku Dzudzɔgbe la dzi, eye nàwɔe kɔkɔe.

Remember the Sabbath day, to keepe it holy.

9 Wɔ wò dɔwo katã le ŋkeke ade me.

Sixe dayes shalt thou labour, and doe all thy worke,

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 the seuenth day is the Sabbath of the Lord thy God: in it thou shalt not do any worke, thou, nor thy sonne, nor thy daughter, thy man seruant, nor thy mayde, nor thy beast, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates.

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 sixe dayes the Lord made the heauen and the earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seuenth day: therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath 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 thy father and thy mother, that thy dayes may be prolonged vpon the land, which the Lord thy God giueth thee.

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.”

Thou shalt not couet thy neighbours house, neither shalt thou couet thy neighbours wife, nor his man seruant, nor his mayde, nor his oxe, nor his asse, neyther any thing that is thy neighbours.

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 sawe the thunders, and the lightnings, and the sound of the trumpet, and the mountaine smoking and when the people saw it they fled and stoode afare 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 sayde vnto Moses, Talke thou with vs, and we will heare: but let not God talke with vs, 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.”

Then Moses sayde vnto the people, Feare not: for God is come to proue you, and that his feare may be before you, that ye sinne not.

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

So the people stoode afarre off, but Moses drew neere vnto the darkenes 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 sayde vnto Moses, Thus thou shalt say vnto the children of Israel, Ye haue seene that I haue talked with you from heauen.

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

Ye shall not make therefore with me gods of siluer, nor gods of golde: you shall make you none.

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.

An altar of earth thou shalt make vnto me, and thereon shalt offer thy burnt offerings, and thy peace offerings, thy sheepe, and thine oxen: in all places, where I shall put the remembrance of my Name, I will come vnto thee, and blesse thee.

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.

But if thou wilt make mee an altar of stone, thou shalt not buylde it of hewen stones: for if thou lift vp thy toole vpon them, thou hast polluted them.

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.’

Neither shalt thou goe vp by steppes vnto mine altar, that thy filthines be not discouered thereon.
