Mose 2 20
1 Eye Mawu gblɔ nya siawo be:
God 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.
Do not have 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.
"Do not make for yourselves an idol, nor any image of anything that is in the heavens above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water 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 must not bow yourself down to them, nor serve them, for I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children, and upon the children's children, on the third and on the fourth [generation] of those who hate me,
6 Ke meɖea nye lɔlɔ̃ fiaa dzidzime akpe nane siwo lɔ̃am, eye wowɔa nye seawo dzi.
and showing loving kindness to thousands of those who love me and 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.
"Do not take the name of the LORD your God in vain, for the LORD will not hold him guiltless who 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 may labor, and do 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 the seventh day is a Sabbath to the LORD your God. You must not do any work in it, you, nor your son, nor your daughter, your male servant, nor your female servant, nor your livestock, nor your stranger who is within your 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 six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day; therefore the LORD blessed the seventh day, and made it holy.
12 Bu fofowò kple dawò be nànɔ agbe didi le anyigba si Yehowa, wò Mawu la ana wò la dzi.
"Honor your father and your mother, that it may be well with you, that your days may be long in the land which the LORD your God gives you.
13 Mègawu ame o.
"Do not commit adultery.
14 Mègawɔ ahasi o.
"Do not murder.
15 Mègafi fi o.
"Do not steal.
16 Mègaɖi aʋatsoɖase ɖe hawòvi ŋuti o.
"Do not give false testimony against your neighbor.
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.”
"Do not covet your neighbor's house. Do not covet your neighbor's wife, nor his male servant, nor his female servant, nor his ox, nor his donkey, nor anything that is your neighbor's."
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 saw the thunder and the lightning and the sound of the trumpet and the mountain smoking, and the people were afraid and trembled and kept their distance.
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.”
They said to Moses, "Speak with us yourself, and we will listen; but do not let God speak with 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.”
Moses said to the people, "Do not be afraid, for God has come to test you, and that his fear may be before you, that you won't sin."
21 Le esime ameawo le tsitre ɖe adzɔge la, Mose ge ɖe blukɔ si me Mawu nɔ la me.
The people stayed at a distance, and Moses drew near to the thick 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.
The LORD said to Moses, "This is what you shall tell the children of Israel: 'You yourselves have seen that I have talked with 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 most certainly not make alongside of me gods of silver, or gods of gold for 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 an altar of earth for me, and shall sacrifice on it your burnt offerings and your peace offerings, your sheep and your cattle. In every place where I record my name I will come to you and I will 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.
If you make me an altar of stone, you shall not build it of cut stones; for if you lift up your tool on it, you have polluted it.
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 shall you go up by steps to my altar, that your nakedness may not be exposed to it.'
