1 Eye Mawu gblɔ nya siawo be:
'And God speaketh all these words, saying,
2 “Nyee nye Yehowa, wò Mawu, si ɖe wò tso kluvinyenye me le Egiptenyigba dzi.
I [am] Jehovah thy God, who hath brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of a house of servants.
3 “Mawu bubu aɖeke meganɔ asiwò kpe ɖe ŋunye o.
'Thou hast no 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 dost not make to thyself a graven image, or any likeness which [is] in the heavens above, or which [is] in the earth beneath, or which [is] 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,
Thou dost not bow thyself to them, nor serve them: for I, Jehovah thy God, [am] a zealous God, charging iniquity of fathers on sons, on the third [generation], and on the fourth, of those hating Me,
6 Ke meɖea nye lɔlɔ̃ fiaa dzidzime akpe nane siwo lɔ̃am, eye wowɔa nye seawo dzi.
and doing kindness to thousands, of those loving Me and keeping My commands.
7 Mègayɔ Yehowa, wò Mawu la ƒe ŋkɔ dzodzro o, elabena Yehowa magbe tohehe na ame siwo yɔa eƒe ŋkɔ dzodzro la o.
'Thou dost not take up the name of Jehovah thy God for a vain thing, for Jehovah acquitteth not him who taketh up His name for a vain thing.
8 Ɖo ŋku Dzudzɔgbe la dzi, eye nàwɔe kɔkɔe.
'Remember the Sabbath-day to sanctify it;
9 Wɔ wò dɔwo katã le ŋkeke ade me.
six days thou dost labour, and hast done all thy 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,
and the seventh day [is] a Sabbath to Jehovah thy God; thou dost not do any work, thou, and thy son, and thy daughter, thy man-servant, and thy handmaid, and thy cattle, and thy sojourner who 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 six days hath Jehovah made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that [is] in them, and resteth in the seventh day; therefore hath Jehovah blessed the Sabbath-day, and doth sanctify 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, so that thy days are prolonged on the ground which Jehovah thy God is giving to thee.
13 Mègawu ame o.
'Thou dost not murder.
14 Mègawɔ ahasi o.
'Thou dost not commit adultery.
15 Mègafi fi o.
'Thou dost not steal.
16 Mègaɖi aʋatsoɖase ɖe hawòvi ŋuti o.
'Thou dost not answer against thy neighbour a false testimony.
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 dost not desire the house of thy neighbour, thou dost not desire the wife of thy neighbour, or his man-servant, or his handmaid, or his ox, or his ass, or anything which [is] thy neighbour'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 are seeing the voices, and the flames, and the sound of the trumpet, and the mount smoking; and the people see, and move, and stand 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 say unto Moses, 'Speak thou with us, and we hear, and let not 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.”
And Moses saith unto the people, 'Fear not, for to try you hath God come, and in order that His fear may be before your faces — that ye sin not.'
21 Le esime ameawo le tsitre ɖe adzɔge la, Mose ge ɖe blukɔ si me Mawu nɔ la me.
And the people stand afar off, and Moses hath drawn nigh unto the thick darkness where God [is].
22 Yehowa gblɔ nya siawo na Mose be, “Gblɔ na Israelviwo be, ‘Miawo ŋutɔ miekpɔe be meɖe nye lɔlɔ̃nu fia mi tso dziƒo.
And Jehovah saith unto Moses, 'Thus dost thou say unto the sons of Israel: Ye — ye have seen that from the heavens I have spoken with you;
23 Miɖo ŋku edzi be miekpɔ mɔ awɔ legba aɖeke kple klosalo alo sika alo kple nu bubu aɖeke asubɔ o!
ye do not make with Me gods of silver, even gods of gold ye do 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.
'An altar of earth thou dost make for Me, and thou hast sacrificed on it thy burnt-offerings and thy peace-offerings, thy flock and thy herd; in every place where I cause My name to be remembered I come in unto thee, and have blessed 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.
'And if an altar of stones thou dost make to Me, thou dost not build them of hewn work; when thy tool thou hast waved over it, then thou dost pollute 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 dost thou go up by steps on Mine altar, that thy nakedness be not revealed upon it.
