Mose 2 23
1 “Mègakaka aʋatsonyawo o, eye mègaɖu aʋatsoɖasefo na ame vɔ̃ɖi o.
Thou shall not take up a false report. Do not put thy hand with the wicked man to be an unrighteous witness.
2 “Mègadze amehawo yome le nu vɔ̃ wɔwɔ me o, eye ne woyɔ wò ɖasefoe le nya aɖe me la, mègatrɔ nyateƒe la ƒe ta tu be ne yeadze amehawo ŋu o,
Thou shall not follow a multitude to do evil, neither shall thou speak in a case to turn aside after a multitude to distort justice,
3 eye mègaɖe ami ɖe nya la be ne wò ɖaseɖiɖi la nade ame aɖe dzi le eƒe amedahenyenye ta o.
neither shall thou favor a poor man in his case.
4 “Ne èkpɔ wò futɔ aɖe ƒe nyi alo tedzi si tra mɔ la, ele be nàkplɔe ayi na nutɔ.
If thou meet thine enemy's ox or his donkey going astray, thou shall surely bring it back to him again.
5 Ne agba te wo futɔ ƒe tedzi ɖe to, eye nèkpɔ wò futɔ wòle agbagba dzem be yeado alɔ tedzi la wòatsi tsitre la, mele be nàtso eme adzo o, ke boŋ ele be nàkpe ɖe eŋu.
If thou see the donkey of him who hates thee lying under his burden, thou shall refrain leaving him. Thou shall surely release it with him.
6 “Mègana ame aɖeke ƒe ahedada nana nàtrɔ eƒe nya dzɔdzɔe wòazu nya gbegblẽ o.
Thou shall not distort the justice due to thy poor in his case.
7 “Mègada alakpa ɖe ame aɖeke si be ewɔ vɔ̃ o. Mègana woawu ame maɖifɔ gbeɖe o. Nyemalɔ̃ ɖe nuwɔna vɔ̃ɖi sia dzi o.
Keep thee far from a false matter. And do not kill an innocent and righteous man, for I will not justify a wicked man.
8 “Mègaxɔ zãnu o, elabena zãnuxɔxɔ nana be màdze si nu si le dzedzem gãa o. Zãnuxɔxɔ gblẽa nu le ame si ƒe nya dzɔ la ŋuti.
And thou shall take no bribe, for a bribe blinds those who have sight, and perverts the words of the righteous.
9 “Mègate amedzrowo ɖe to o, wò ŋutɔ ènya nu si amedzronyenye nye. Ɖo ŋku wò nuteƒekpɔkpɔwo le Egipte dzi.
And thou shall not oppress a sojourner, for ye know the heart of a sojourner, since ye were sojourners in the land of Egypt.
10 “Miƒã nu, eye miaŋe nu ƒe ade,
And six years thou shall sow thy land, and shall gather in the increase of it,
11 ke migblẽ anyigba la ɖi wòadzudzɔ le ƒe adrelia me. Mina ame dahe siwo le mia dome la naxa nuku siwo mieɖe le miaƒe agble dzi le wo ɖokuiwo si, eye migblẽ nuku siwo susɔ la ɖi na lãwo woaɖu. Se sia ke ku ɖe miaƒe waingblewo kple amitivewo hã ŋu.
but the seventh year thou shall let it rest and lie fallow, that the poor of thy people may eat, and what they leave the beast of the field shall eat. In like manner thou shall deal with thy vineyard, and with thy oliveyard.
12 “Miwɔ dɔ ŋkeke ade ko, eye miadzudzɔ le ŋkeke adrelia dzi. Miwɔ alea ale be miana dzudzɔ miaƒe nyiwo kple tedziwo kple miaƒe aƒemetɔwo, kluviwo kple amedzrowo siaa.
Six days thou shall do thy work, and on the seventh day thou shall rest, that thine ox and thy donkey may have rest, and the son of thy handmaid, and the sojourner, may be refreshed.
13 “Mikpɔ egbɔ be miewɔ se siawo katã dzi. Miɖo ŋku edzi, migayɔ mawu bubu aɖeke ƒe ŋkɔ le gbedodoɖa alo atamkaka me o.”
And in all things that I have said to you take ye heed, and make no mention of the name of other gods, neither let it be heard out of thy mouth.
14 “Mawusubɔsubɔ ƒe ŋkekenyui etɔ̃e li wòle be miaɖu ƒe sia ƒe.
Three times thou shall keep a feast to me in the year.
15 “Gbãtɔe nye Abolo Maʋamaʋã ƒe Ŋkekenyui. Migaɖu abolo si wowɔ kple amɔ ʋaʋã o ŋkeke adre abe ale si mede se na mi kpɔ ene. Ŋkekenyui sia ɖuɖu anɔ edzi ƒe sia ƒe le Tedoxe si nye ɣleti si me miedzo le Egipte. “Ame sia ame asa vɔ nam le ɣeyiɣi sia me.
Thou shall keep the feast of unleavened bread (Seven days thou shall eat unleavened bread, as I commanded thee, at the time appointed in the month Abib, for in it thou came out from Egypt, and none shall appear before me empty),
16 “Eveliae nye Nuŋeŋeŋkekenyui. Ele be miatsɔ miaƒe agblemenuku gbãtɔwo vɛ nam. “Etɔ̃liae nye Ƒuƒoƒo Nukuwo ƒe Ŋkekenyui si miaɖu le nuŋeɣi ƒe nuwuwu.
and the feast of harvest, the first-fruits of thy labors, which thou sow in the field, and the feast of ingathering at the end of the year, when thou gather in thy labors out of the field.
17 “Le ŋkekenyui etɔ̃ siawo katã ɖuɣiwo, le ƒe sia ƒe me la, ele be Israel ŋutsu ɖe sia ɖe nado ɖe Yehowa ŋkume.
Three times in the year all thy males shall appear before the lord Jehovah.

Thou shall not offer the blood of my sacrifice with leavened bread, neither shall the fat of my feast remain all night until the morning.
19 “Ne èxa wò agblemenukuwo la, ele be nàtsɔ wò ŋkeke gbãtɔ ƒe nuku nyuitɔwo ƒe ɖe va Yehowa, wò Mawu ƒe aƒe me. “Mègaɖa gbɔ̃vi le dadaa ƒe notsi me o.
The first of the first-fruits of thy ground thou shall bring into the house of Jehovah thy God. Thou shall not boil a kid in its mother's milk.
20 “Kpɔ ɖa, mele Mawudɔla aɖe dɔm ɖe ŋgɔwò be wòakplɔ wò dedie ayi anyigba si medzra ɖo ɖi na wò la dzi.
Behold, I send an agent before thee, to keep thee by the way, and to bring thee into the place which I have prepared.
21 Vɔ̃e, eye nàwɔ eƒe ɖoɖowo katã dzi. Mègadze aglã ɖe eŋu o, elabena matsɔ wò nu vɔ̃wo ake wò o. Eyae nye nye teƒenɔla, eye nye ŋkɔ le eŋu.
Take ye heed before him, and hearken to his voice, provoke him not. For he will not pardon your transgression, for my name is in him.
22 Ke ne èɖɔ ŋu ɖo, ɖo toe, eye nèwɔ nye Sewo katã dzi la, ekema manye futɔ na wò futɔwo,
But if thou shall indeed hearken to his voice, and do all that I speak, then I will be an enemy to thine enemies, and an adversary to thine adversaries.
23 elabena nye Dɔla adze ŋgɔ na wò, akplɔ wò ayi Amoritɔwo, Hititɔwo, Perizitɔwo, Kanaantɔwo, Hivitɔwo kple Yebusitɔwo ƒe anyigba dzi be mianɔ afi ma. Matsrɔ̃ dukɔ siawo ɖa le ŋgɔwò.
For my agent shall go before thee, and bring thee in to the Amorite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, and the Canaanite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite, and I will cut them off.
24 “Mègasubɔ dukɔ bubu siawo ƒe mawu alo asa vɔ na wo le mɔ aɖeke nu o, eye mègadze trɔ̃subɔdukɔ siawo ƒe kpɔɖeŋu vɔ̃ɖiwo yome o. Ele na wò be nàɖu wo dzi, eye nàgbã woƒe legbawo.
Thou shall not bow down to their gods, nor serve them, nor do after their works, but thou shall utterly overthrow them, and break their pillars in pieces.
25 “Subɔ Yehowa, wò Mawu la ɖeɖe ko, ekema mayra wò kple nuɖuɖu kple tsi, eye maɖe dɔléle ɖa le mia dome.
And ye shall serve Jehovah your God, and he will bless thy bread, and thy water, and I will take sickness away from the midst of thee.
26 Fu mage le nyɔnuwo ƒo o, kotsitsi manɔ anyigba blibo la dzi o, eye ànɔ agbe ŋkeke ale si meɖo na wò.
There shall none cast her young, nor be barren, in thy land; I will fulfill the number of thy days.
27 “Mana vɔvɔ̃ si le ŋunye la nalé dukɔ siwo katã ƒe anyigba ŋu miaho aʋa ɖo, woasi le mia ŋgɔ.
I will send my terror before thee, and will destroy all the people to whom thou shall come, and I will make all thine enemies turn their backs to thee.
28 Maɖo nudzodzoe teamewo ɖa woanya Hivitɔwo, Kanaantɔwo kple Hititɔwo ɖa le ŋgɔwò.
And I will send the hornet before thee, which shall drive out the Hivite, the Canaanite, and the Hittite, from before thee.
29 Nyemawɔ esiawo katã le ƒe ɖeka me o. Ne menye nenema o la, anyigba la ava zu gbedadaƒo, eye lã wɔadãwo ava sɔ gbɔ akpa.
I will not drive them out from before thee in one year, lest the land become desolate, and the beasts of the field multiply against thee.
30 Ke manɔ wo nyam ɖa vivivi va se ɖe esime wò amewo adzi axɔ anyigba blibo la dzi.
Little by little I will drive them out from before thee, until thou be increased, and inherit the land.
31 “Mana wò anyigba ƒe liƒowo natso Ƒu Dzĩ la nu ayi Filistitɔwo ƒe ƒu la nu, eye wòagatso gbegbe siwo le anyigbeme va se ɖe Frat tɔsisi la nu. Mana nàɖu ame siwo katã le anyigba la dzi fifia la dzi, eye mana woasi le ŋgɔwò.
And I will set thy border from the Red Sea even to the sea of the Philistines, and from the wilderness to the River. For I will deliver the inhabitants of the land into your hand, and thou shall drive them out before thee.
32 “Mègawɔ nubabla aɖeke kpli wo loo alo nàna kadodo aɖeke nanɔ wò kple woƒe mawuwo dome o.
Thou shall make no covenant with them, nor with their gods.
33 Mègana woanɔ mia dome o, elabena menya be woana miadze woƒe mawuwo subɔsubɔ ƒe nu vɔ̃ me; esia anye mɔtetre na mi, eye wòahe dzɔgbevɔ̃e gã va mia dzi.”
They shall not dwell in thy land, lest they make thee sin against me, for if thou serve their gods, it will surely be a snare to thee.
