Mose 3 18
1 Yehowa gblɔ na Mose be,
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
2 “Ƒo nu na Israelviwo, eye nàgblɔ na wo be, ‘Nyee nye Yehowa, miaƒe Mawu.
Speak to the children of Israel, and thou shalt say to them, I [am] the Lord your God.
3 Mele be miawɔ nu abe ale si wowɔna le Egipte, afi si mienɔ la ene o. Nenema ke mele be miawɔ nu abe ale si wowɔna le Kanaan, afi si mele mia kplɔm le yiyim la ene o. Migawɔ woƒe wɔnawo o.
Ye shall not do according to the devices of Egypt, in which ye dwelt: and according to the devices of the land of Chanaan, into which I bring you, ye shall not do; and ye shall not walk in their ordinances.
4 Ele be miawɔ nye sewo dzi, eye miakpɔ egbɔ be yewozɔ ɖe nye ɖoɖowo nu. Nyee nye Yehowa, miaƒe Mawu.
Ye shall observe my judgments, and shall keep my ordinances, and shall walk in them: I [am] the Lord your God.
5 Milé nye ɖoɖowo kple nye sewo me ɖe asi, elabena ame si léa wo me ɖe asi la, anɔ agbe ɖe wo nu. Nyee nye Yehowa.
So ye shall keep all my ordinances, and all my judgments, and do them; which if a man do, he shall live in them: I [am] the Lord your God.
6 “‘Mia dometɔ aɖeke megadɔ kple eƒe ƒometɔ o, elabena nyee nye Yehowa.
No man shall draw nigh to any of his near kindred to uncover their nakedness; I [am] the Lord.
7 “‘Vinyɔnu mekpɔ mɔ aɖe fofoa o. Nenema ke viŋutsu mekpɔ mɔ aɖe dadaa loo

Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy father's wife; it is thy father's nakedness.

The nakedness of thy sister by thy father or by thy mother, born at home or abroad, their nakedness thou shalt not uncover.

11 “‘Mègade asi fofowò srɔ̃ ƒe vinyɔnu ŋu o.

Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy father's brother, and thou shalt not go in to his wife; for she is thy relation.
15 “‘Mègade asi viwò ŋutsu srɔ̃ ŋu o; wò ŋutɔ viwò srɔ̃e; megaɖe amae o.
Thou shalt not uncover the nakedness of thy daughter-in-law, for she is thy son's wife, thou shalt not uncover her nakedness.

The nakedness of a woman and her daughter shalt thou not uncover; her son's daughter, and her daughter's daughter, shalt thou not take, to uncover their nakedness, for they are thy kinswomen: it is impiety.
18 “‘Mègaɖe nɔvinyɔnu eve o, ne menye nenema o la, woanɔ ŋui ɖom wo nɔewo. Gake ne srɔ̃wò ku la, àte ŋu aɖe nɔvia nyɔnu faa.

And thou shalt not give of thy seed to serve a ruler; and thou shalt not profane my holy name; I [am] the Lord.

And thou shalt not lie with a man as with a woman, for it is an abomination.
23 “‘Ŋutsu aɖeke mekpɔ mɔ adɔ lãnɔ aɖeke gbɔ, eye wòaƒo ɖi eɖokui o. Nenema ke nyɔnu aɖeke mekpɔ mɔ alɔ̃ lãtsu aɖeke nayɔ asii o. Esia nye ŋukpenanu gã aɖe ŋutɔ.
Neither shalt thou lie with any quadruped for copulation, to be polluted with it: neither shall a woman present herself before any quadruped to have connexion with it; for it is an abomination.
24 “‘Migaƒo ɖi mia ɖokuiwo to mɔ siawo dometɔ aɖeke dzi o, elabena nu siawoe dukɔwo bubuwo wɔna. Esi wowɔa nu siawo ta la, manya wo ɖa le anyigba si dzi yim miele la dzi.
Do not defile yourselves with any of these things; for in all these things the nations are defiled, which I drive out before you,
25 Woƒo ɖi anyigba blibo la kple nuwɔna siawo, eya ta mele to hem na ame siwo le afi ma, eye anyigba la atu edzinɔlawo aƒu gbe.
and the land is polluted; and I have recompensed their iniquity to them because of it, and the land is aggrieved with them that dwell upon it.
26 Ele be miazɔ ɖe nye sewo kple ɖoɖowo nu tututu, eye mele be miawɔ nu vɔ̃ siawo dometɔ aɖeke o. Ele be Israelvi dzɔleaƒeawo kple amedzro siwo le mia dome siaa la nalé se siawo me ɖe asi sesĩe.
And ye shall keep all my statutes and all my ordinances, and ye shall do none of these abominations; neither the native, nor the stranger that joins himself with you:
27 Ɛ̃, ame siwo le anyigba si dzi mele mia kplɔm le yiyim dzi la wɔa nu vɔ̃ siawo madzudzɔmadzudzɔe ale gbegbe be anyigba blibo la gblẽ.
(for all these abominations the men of the land did who were before you, and the land was defiled, )
28 Migawɔ nu siawo o. Ne miewɔ nu siawo la, anyigba la atu mi aƒu gbe abe ale si wòatu dukɔ siwo le afi ma fifia la aƒu gbe ene.
and lest the land be aggrieved with you in your polluting it, as it was aggrieved with the nations before you.
29 “‘Ame sia ame si awɔ ŋunyɔnu siawo dometɔ aɖe la, woaɖe ame ma ɖa le eƒe amewo dome.
For whosoever shall do any of these abominations, the souls that do them shall be destroyed from among their people.
30 Milé nye ɖoɖowo me ɖe asi, migadze kɔnu nyɔŋu siwo wowɔna hafi mieva la yome o, eye migatsɔ wo do gu mia ɖokuiwo o. Nyee nye Yehowa, miaƒe Mawu.’”
And ye shall keep mine ordinances, that ye may not do any of the abominable practices, which have taken place before your time: and ye shall not be polluted in them; for I [am] the Lord your God.
