Mose 2 34

1 Yehowa gblɔ na Mose be, “Kpa kpe gbadzɛ eve abe gbãtɔwo ene, eye maŋlɔ Se siwo nɔ kpe siwo nègba la dzi la ɖe wo dzi.

And after this he said: “Cut out for yourself two tablets of stone similar to the first ones, and I will write upon them the words which were held on the tablets that you broke.

2 Dzra ɖo etsɔ ŋdi nàva kpɔm le Sinai to la dzi.

Be prepared in the morning, so that you may immediately ascend onto Mount Sinai, and you shall stand with me on the summit of the mountain.

3 Mègana ame aɖeke nava kpli wò o, eye ame aɖeke manɔ teƒe aɖeke le to sia dzi hã o. Mègana miaƒe alẽwo kple nyiwo naɖu gbe le teƒe si te ɖe to la ŋu o.”

Let no one ascend with you, and do not let anyone be seen throughout the entire mountain. Likewise, do not let the oxen or the sheep pasture up against it.”

4 Ale Mose tsɔ kpe kpakpɛ eveawo abe gbãtɔwo ene, eye wòlia Sinai to la ŋdi kanya, abe ale si Yehowa ɖo nɛ be wòawɔ ene.

And so he cut out two tablets of stone, like those that were before. And rising up in the night, he ascended onto Mount Sinai, just as the Lord had instructed him, carrying with him the tablets.

5 Yehowa ɖi ɖe to la dzi le lilikpo dodo aɖe me, eye wòtsi tsitre ɖe egbɔ le afi ma ɖe gbeƒã eƒe ŋkɔ Yehowa nɛ.

And when the Lord had descended in a cloud, Moses stood with him, calling upon the name of the Lord.

6 Yehowa to Mose ŋkume, eye wòɖe gbeƒã eƒe ŋkɔ be, “Yehowa, Yehowa, Mawu nublanuikpɔla kple amenuvela, ame si gbɔa dzi ɖi blewu, eye eƒe lɔlɔ̃ kple nuteƒewɔwɔ nu metsina o;

And as he was crossing before him, he said: “The Ruler, the Lord God, merciful and lenient, patient and full of compassion and also truthful,

7 ame si ɖea lɔlɔ̃ fiaa ame akpe nanewo, eye wòtsɔa ame vɔ̃ɖiwo kple aglãdzelawo ƒe nu vɔ̃wo kea wo, ke megbea tohehe na vodalawo o, eye wòhea to na ɖeviwo ɖe wo fofowo ƒe vodadawo ta tso dzidzime etɔ̃lia va se ɖe enelia dzi.”

who preserves mercy a thousand fold, who takes away iniquity, and wickedness, and also sin; and with you no one, in and of himself, is innocent. You render the iniquity of the fathers to the sons, and also to their descendants to the third and fourth generation.”

8 Mose tsyɔ mo anyi enumake ɖe Yehowa ŋkume, eye wòsubɔe.

And hurrying, Moses bowed down prostrate to the ground; and worshiping,

9 Egblɔ be, “Nenye nyateƒe be nève nunye la, ekema O Yehowa, meɖe kuku kplɔ mí yi Ŋugbedodonyigba la dzi. Eme kɔ ƒãa be míenye dukɔ dzeaglã kple kɔlialiatɔwo, gake meɖe kuku, tsɔ míaƒe vodadawo kple nu vɔ̃wo ke mí, eye nàgaxɔ mí abe wò ŋutɔ tɔwòwo ene.”

he said: “If I have found grace in your sight, O Lord, I beg you to walk with us, (for the people are stiff-necked) and take away our iniquities and our sin, and so possess us.”

10 Yehowa ɖo eŋu be, “Enyo. Esiae nye nubabla si mawɔ kple wò. Mawɔ nukunu siwo tɔgbi ame aɖeke mewɔ le xexea me blibo la ƒe akpa aɖeke kpɔ o. Israelviwo katã akpɔ Yehowa ƒe ŋusẽ. Woakpɔ ŋusẽ triakɔ si maɖe afia to dziwò.”

The Lord responded: “I will enter into a pact in the sight of all. I will perform signs which have never been seen on earth, nor among any nation, so that this people, in whose midst you are, may discern the terrible work of the Lord that I will do.

11 Nu si nàwɔ le nubabla sia me lae nye be nàlé nye seawo katã me ɖe asi. Ekema manya Amoritɔwo, Kanaantɔwo, Hititɔwo, Perizitɔwo, Hivitɔwo kple Yebusitɔwo katã le ŋgɔwò le anyigba la dzi.

Observe everything that I command you this day. I myself will drive out before your face the Amorite, and the Canaanite, and the Hittite, and the Perizzite, and the Hivite, and the Jebusite.

12 Kpɔ nyuie be màbla nu kple ame siwo le anyigba si dzi yim miele la gbeɖegbeɖe o, elabena ne miebla nu kpli wo la, miade asi woƒe nu vɔ̃ɖiwo wɔwɔ me kaba.

Beware that you do not ever join in friendship with the inhabitants of that land, which may be your ruin.

13 Ke boŋ migbã woƒe vɔsamlekpuiwo kple woƒe legbawo eye miho woƒe aƒeliwo ƒu anyi,

But destroy their altars, break their statues, and cut down their sacred groves.

14 elabena mele be miasubɔ mawu bubu aɖeke o, ke boŋ Yehowa ko, elabena Yehowa nye Mawu si dina be woasubɔ ye ɖeka ko.

Do not be willing to worship any strange god. The jealous Lord is his name. God is a rival.

15 “Miɖɔ ŋu ɖo be miagawɔ nubabla aɖeke tɔgbi kple ame siwo le anyigba la dzi o. Mawu geɖewo subɔlawo wonye, eya ta ne miewɔ ɖeka kpli wo la, woakpe mi ayi woƒe legbawo subɔƒe, eye míaɖu woƒe vɔsanuwo.

Do not enter into a pact with the men of those regions, lest, when they will have fornicated with their gods and worshiped their idols, someone might call upon you to eat from what was immolated.

16 Eye ne míeɖe wo vinyɔnuwo na mia viŋutsuwo la, wo srɔ̃wo akplɔ wo ayi woƒe legbawo subɔƒewo, eye mia viŋutsuawo hã ada vo ɖe ŋunye to wo srɔ̃wo ƒe mawuawo subɔsubɔ me.

Neither shall you take a wife for your son from their daughters, lest, after they themselves have fornicated, they may cause your sons also to fornicate with their gods.

17 “Mele be miawɔ legba aɖeke na mia ɖokuiwo o.

You shall not make for yourselves any molten gods.

18 “Ɖo ŋku edzi miaɖu Abolo Maʋamaʋã Ŋkekenyui ŋkeke adre abe ale si megblɔe na wò ene le ŋkeke ɖoɖoawo dzi, le Tedoxe me ƒe sia ƒe. Ɣleti sia mee miedzo le Egipte.

You shall keep the solemnity of unleavened bread. For seven days, you shall eat unleavened bread, just as I instructed you, in the time of the month of what is new. For in the month of springtime you departed from Egypt.

19 “Nyitsu, agbo kple gbɔ̃tsu ɖe sia ɖe si ʋu dɔ nu na dadaa la nye tɔnye.

All of the male kind, which open the womb, shall be mine: from all the animals, as much of oxen as of sheep, it shall be mine.

20 Àte ŋu atsɔ alẽvi aɖɔli tedzi ƒe ŋgɔgbevi. Ne mèdi be yeaɖɔlii o la, ekema ele be nàŋe kɔe. Ke ele be miaƒle miaƒe ŋgɔgbevi ŋutsuwo katã ta. Ame aɖeke megava nye ŋkume asi gbɔlo o.

The firstborn of a donkey, you shall redeem with a sheep. But if you will not give a price for it, it shall be slain. The firstborn of your sons you shall redeem. You shall not appear empty in my sight.

21 “Le nuƒãɣi kple nuŋeɣi gɔ̃ hã la, miawɔ dɔ ŋkeke ade ko, eye miadzudzɔ le ŋkeke adrea gbe.

For six days you shall work. On the seventh day you shall cease to cultivate and to harvest.

22 “Ɖo ŋku edzi miaɖu Kɔsiɖawo ƒe Ŋkekenyui, si nye lu gbãtɔwo ŋeŋe ƒe ŋkekenyuie la; emegbe la miaɖu Avaɖoɖo ƒe Ŋkekenyui le ƒea ƒe nuwuwu.

You shall observe the Solemnity of Weeks with the first-fruits of the grain from the harvest of your wheat, and a Solemnity when the time of the year returns and everything is stored away.

23 Le ŋkekenyui siawo dometɔ ɖe sia ɖe dzi la, ele be Israel ŋutsuwo kple ŋutsuviwo katã nado ɖe Aƒetɔ Yehowa, Israel ƒe Mawu ŋkume.

Three times a year, all your males shall appear in the sight of the Almighty, the Lord God of Israel.

24 Futɔ aɖeke madze miaƒe anyigba dzi, aɖu mia dzi ne mieyi toa dzi be miado ɖe Yehowa, miaƒe Mawu la ŋkume le azã etɔ̃ mawo dzi ƒe sia ƒe o, elabena manya dukɔawo ɖa le mia ŋgɔ, eye makeke miaƒe liƒowo ɖe enu.

For when I will have taken away the nations before your face, and enlarged your borders, no one shall lie in wait against your land when you will go up to appear in the sight of the Lord your God, three times a year.

25 “Megakpe nye vɔsalãwo ƒe ʋu ɖe abolo si woƒo kple amɔ ʋaʋã la ŋu o. Mele be Ŋutitotoŋkekenyui ƒe vɔsalã lã ƒe akpa aɖeke natsi anyi ŋu nake ɖe edzi o.

You shall not immolate the blood of my victim over leaven; and there shall not remain, in the morning, any of the victim of the Solemnity of the Passover.

26 “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 fruits of your land you shall offer in the house of the Lord your God. You shall not boil a young goat in the milk of its mother.”

27 Yehowa yi edzi gblɔ na Mose be, “Ŋlɔ se siwo mede na wò egbe la da ɖi, elabena woawoe nye ɖoɖo siwo ku ɖe nye nubabla si mewɔ kple wò kple Israel la ŋu.”

And the Lord said to Moses, “Write these words to you, through which I have formed a covenant, both with you and with Israel.”

28 Mose yi ɖanɔ toa dzi kple Yehowa ŋkeke blaene kple zã blaene. Meɖu naneke alo no naneke le ŋkeke siawo me o. Le ɣeyiɣi sia me la, Mawu ŋlɔ nubabla la me nya siwo nye Se Ewoawo la ɖe kpe kpakpɛ eveawo dzi.

Therefore, he was in that place with the Lord for forty days and forty nights; he did not eat bread and he did not drink water, and he wrote on the tablets the ten words of the covenant.

29 Esi Mose ɖi tso Sinai toa dzi gbɔna kple kpe kpakpɛawo la, menya be yeƒe mo nɔ keklẽm le yeƒe Mawu gbɔ nɔnɔ ta o.

And when Moses descended from Mount Sinai, he held the two tablets of the testimony, and he did not know that his face was radiant from the sharing of words with the Lord.

30 Le keklẽ si nɔ mo nɛ ta la, Aron kple Israelviwo vɔ̃ be yewoate ɖe eŋu.

Then Aaron and the sons of Israel, seeing that the face of Moses was radiant, were afraid to approach close by.

31 Ke Mose yɔ wo. Aron kple ameha la ƒe kplɔlawo te ɖe eŋu, eye woƒo nu kplii.

And being called by him, they turned back, both Aaron and the leaders of the assembly. And after he had spoken to them,

32 Le esia megbe la, Israelviwo katã va egbɔ, eye wòtsɔ se siwo Yehowa tsɔ nɛ le Sinai toa dzi la na wo.

all the sons of Israel also now came to him. And he instructed them in all the things that he had heard from the Lord on Mount Sinai.

33 Esime Mose wu eƒe nuƒoa nu la, etsɔ motsyɔvɔ tsyɔ ŋkume.

And having completed these words, he placed a veil over his face.

34 Ne eyina agbadɔ la me be yeaƒo nu kple Yehowa la, eɖea motsyɔvɔ la ɖa va se ɖe esime wòado go. Ekema agblɔ se siwo katã Mawu de nɛ la na Israelviwo,

But when he entered to the Lord and was speaking with him, he took it off, until he exited. And then he spoke to the sons of Israel all that had been commanded to him.

35 eye woakpɔ eƒe mo wòanɔ keklẽm. Le esia megbe la, egatsɔa motsyɔvɔ la tsyɔa mo va se ɖe esime wòagatrɔ ayi be yeaƒo nu kple Yehowa.

And they saw that the face of Moses, when he came out, was radiant, but he covered his face again, whenever he spoke to them.
