Mose 3 19
1 Yehowa gblɔ na Mose be,
And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying:
2 “Ƒo nu na Israel ƒe ƒuƒoƒo blibo la, eye nàgblɔ na wo be, ‘Minɔ kɔkɔe, elabena nye, Yehowa, miaƒe Mawu, mele kɔkɔe.
Speak unto all the congregation of the children of Israel, and say unto them: Ye shall be holy; for I the LORD your God am holy.
3 “‘Ele be mia dometɔ ɖe sia ɖe nabu fofoa kple dadaa, eye miaɖo ŋku nye Dzudzɔgbewo dzi. Nyee nye Yehowa miaƒe Mawu.
Ye shall fear every man his mother, and his father, and ye shall keep My sabbaths: I am the LORD your God.
4 “‘Migatrɔ ɖe legbawo ŋu alo miatsɔ ga awɔ mawuwo na mia ɖokuiwo o. Nyee nye Yehowa, miaƒe Mawu.
Turn ye not unto the idols, nor make to yourselves molten gods: I am the LORD your God.
5 “‘Ne miesa akpedavɔ na Yehowa la, misae tututu ɖe sea nu ale be mate ŋu axɔe.
And when ye offer a sacrifice of peace-offerings unto the LORD, ye shall offer it that ye may be accepted.
6 Miɖui le ŋkeke si dzi miesa vɔ la le alo ne ŋu ke. Nu si atsi anyi va se ɖe ŋkeke etɔ̃a gbe la, woatɔ dzoe,
It shall be eaten the same day ye offer it, and on the morrow; and if aught remain until the third day, it shall be burnt with fire.
7 elabena esi woaɖu le ŋkeke etɔ̃a gbe la, madze ŋunye o, eye nyemate ŋu axɔe o.
And if it be eaten at all on the third day, it is a vile thing; it shall not be accepted.
8 Ne mieɖui le ŋkeke etɔ̃a gbe la, mieɖi fɔ, elabena miedo ŋunyɔ Yehowa ƒe kɔkɔenyenye, eye woaɖe mi ɖa tso Yehowa ƒe amewo dome.
But every one that eateth it shall bear his iniquity, because he hath profaned the holy thing of the LORD; and that soul shall be cut off from his people.
9 “‘Ne miexa miaƒe agblemenuwo la, migaŋe nuku siwo le agblea to o, eye migafɔ nuku siwo dudu ɖe anyigba hã o.
And when ye reap the harvest of your land, thou shalt not wholly reap the corner of thy field, neither shalt thou gather the gleaning of thy harvest.
10 Miwɔ nenema ke le miaƒe wain tsetsewo hã gome. Migagbe kutsetseawo katã o, eye migafɔ esiwo ge ɖe anyigba hã o. Migblẽ wo ɖi na ame dahewo kple amedzro siwo le mia dome, elabena nyee nye Yehowa, miaƒe Mawu.
And thou shalt not glean thy vineyard, neither shalt thou gather the fallen fruit of thy vineyard; thou shalt leave them for the poor and for the stranger: I am the LORD your God.
11 “‘Migafi fi o. “‘Migada alakpa o. “‘Ame aɖeke megaba nɔvia o.
Ye shall not steal; neither shall ye deal falsely, nor lie one to another.
12 “‘Migatsɔ nye ŋkɔ aka atam ɖe aʋatsonya aɖeke dzi, eye miato nu sia wɔwɔ me aƒo fi ade nye ŋkɔ o, elabena nyee nye Yehowa, miaƒe Mawu.
And ye shall not swear by My name falsely, so that thou profane the name of thy God: I am the LORD.
13 “‘Migaba ame aɖeke alo ate ame aɖeke ɖe to o. “‘Mikpɔ egbɔ be yewoxe fe na yewoƒe agbatedɔwɔlawo kaba. Ne fe aɖe li miaxe na agbatedɔwɔlawo la, migana fe ma natsi mia ŋuti ŋu nake ɖe edzi o.
Thou shalt not oppress thy neighbour, nor rob him; the wages of a hired servant shall not abide with thee all night until the morning.
14 “‘Migaƒo fi de tekunɔ o, eye migada nu ɖe ŋkuagbãtɔ si va yina la ƒe mɔ me o. Mivɔ̃ miaƒe Mawu. Nyee nye Yehowa, miaƒe Mawu.
Thou shalt not curse the deaf, nor put a stumbling-block before the blind, but thou shalt fear thy God: I am the LORD.

Ye shall do no unrighteousness in judgment; thou shalt not respect the person of the poor, nor favour the person of the mighty; but in righteousness shalt thou judge thy neighbour.
16 “‘Mèganye sakplisala anɔ yiyim le wò dukɔ me o. “‘Mègade nɔviwò asi be woatso kufia nɛ o, elabena nyee nye Yehowa.
Thou shalt not go up and down as a talebearer among thy people; neither shalt thou stand idly by the blood of thy neighbour: I am the LORD.
17 “‘Mègalé fu nɔviwò o. Ka mo na ame si wɔ nu vɔ̃. Ne ègbe mokaka nɛ la, wò hã èwɔ nu vɔ̃ abe eya ke ene.
Thou shalt not hate thy brother in thy heart; thou shalt surely rebuke thy neighbour, and not bear sin because of him.
18 “‘Mègabia hlɔ̃ o. Mègalé nya ɖe dɔ me o, ke boŋ lɔ̃ nɔviwò abe ɖokuiwò ene, elabena nyee nye Yehowa.
Thou shalt not take vengeance, nor bear any grudge against the children of thy people, but thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself: I am the LORD.
19 “‘Miwɔ nye seawo dzi. “‘Migana lã nayɔ asi lã ƒomevi bubu o. “‘Mègaƒã nuku ƒomevi vovovowo ɖe wò agble me o. “‘Mègado awu si wotɔ kple avɔ si wotsɔ lãfu tsaka ɖeti lɔ̃ la o.
Ye shall keep My statutes. Thou shalt not let thy cattle gender with a diverse kind; thou shalt not sow thy field with two kinds of seed; neither shall there come upon thee a garment of two kinds of stuff mingled together.
20 “‘Ne ŋutsu aɖe de asi kosi si menye ablɔɖeme o ŋu, eye wòbia eta na ɖeɖe la, woadrɔ̃ ʋɔnu wo le ʋɔnudrɔ̃ƒe, gake womawu wo o, elabena kosi la menye ablɔɖeme o.
And whosoever lieth carnally with a woman, that is a bondmaid, designated for a man, and not at all redeemed, nor was freedom given her; there shall be inquisition; they shall not be put to death, because she was not free.
21 Ele be ŋutsu la natsɔ eƒe fɔɖivɔsa vɛ na Yehowa le Agbadɔ la ƒe mɔnu. Nu si wòanae nye agbo.
And he shall bring his forfeit unto the LORD, unto the door of the tent of meeting, even a ram for a guilt-offering.
22 Nunɔla la alé avu kple agbo la le nu vɔ̃ si ŋutsu la wɔ ta, eye woatsɔe akee.
And the priest shall make atonement for him with the ram of the guilt-offering before the LORD for his sin which he hath sinned; and he shall be forgiven for his sin which he hath sinned.
23 “‘Ne mieva ɖo anyigba la dzi, eye miedo kutsetseti ƒomevi vovovowo la, migaɖu ƒe gbãtɔ etɔ̃awo ƒe tsetseawo o, elabena wole abe nu siwo ŋu wogbe nu le ene. Womaɖu wo o.
And when ye shall come into the land, and shall have planted all manner of trees for food, then ye shall count the fruit thereof as forbidden; three years shall it be as forbidden unto you; it shall not be eaten.
24 Woatsɔ ƒe enelia ƒe kutsetsewo katã ana Yehowa abe eƒe kafukafunu ene.
And in the fourth year all the fruit thereof shall be holy, for giving praise unto the LORD.
25 Ƒe atɔ̃lia ƒe kutsetsewoe nye mia tɔ. Nyee nye Yehowa miaƒe Mawu.
But in the fifth year may ye eat of the fruit thereof, that it may yield unto you more richly the increase thereof: I am the LORD your God.

Ye shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor imprint any marks upon you: I am the LORD.

Profane not thy daughter, to make her a harlot, lest the land fall into harlotry, and the land become full of lewdness.

Ye shall keep My sabbaths, and reverence My sanctuary: I am the LORD.

Turn ye not unto the ghosts, nor unto familiar spirits; seek them not out, to be defiled by them: I am the LORD your God.

Thou shalt rise up before the hoary head, and honour the face of the old man, and thou shalt fear thy God: I am the LORD.

And if a stranger sojourn with thee in your land, ye shall not do him wrong.

The stranger that sojourneth with you shall be unto you as the home-born among you, and thou shalt love him as thyself; for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt: I am the LORD your God.
35 “‘Migawɔ dzidzenu mademadewo ŋu dɔ ne miele didime, kpekpeme kple agbɔsɔsɔ dzidzem o.
Ye shall do no unrighteousness in judgment, in meteyard, in weight, or in measure.
36 Miwɔ nudanu kple nudakpe anukwaretɔwo, nudanu kple nudzidzenu anukwaretɔwo ŋu dɔ. Nyee nye Yehowa, miaƒe Mawu, ame si ɖe mi tso Egipte.
Just balances, just weights, a just ephah, and a just hin, shall ye have: I am the LORD your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt.
37 “‘Ele be mialé nye sewo kple ɖoɖowo katã me ɖe asi, eye miawɔ wo dzi, elabena nyee nye Yehowa!’”
And ye shall observe all My statutes, and all Mine ordinances, and do them: I am the LORD.
