Mose 3 20
1 Yehowa gblɔ na Mose be,
Then the LORD said to Moses,
2 “Gblɔ na Israelviwo be, ‘Ele be woawu Israelvi alo amedzro si le Israel, ame si atsɔ viawo dometɔ aɖe ana Molek. Teƒe ma nɔlawo naƒu kpee.
“Tell the Israelites, ‘Any Israelite or foreigner living in Israel who gives any of his children to Molech must be put to death. The people of the land are to stone him.
3 Emegbe nye ŋutɔ mado dɔmedzoe ɖe eŋu, eye maɖee ɖa le eƒe amewo dome, elabena etsɔ via sa vɔe na Molek, eto esia me wɔ nye Agbadɔ wòzu teƒe si medze be maganɔ o, eye wòdo vlo nye ŋkɔ kɔkɔe la.
And I will set My face against that man and cut him off from his people, because by giving his offspring to Molech, he has defiled My sanctuary and profaned My holy name.
4 Ne anyigba la dzi tɔwo wɔ abe ɖe womenya naneke tso ame si tsɔ via na Molek ŋu o, eye wogbe be yewomawui o la,
And if the people of the land ever hide their eyes and fail to put to death the man who gives one of his children to Molech,
5 ekema nye ŋutɔ mado dɔmedzoe ɖe amea kple eƒe ƒometɔwo ŋu, eye matsrɔ̃ ame siwo katã subɔa Molek alo mawu bubuwo.
then I will set My face against that man and his family and cut off from among their people both him and all who follow him in prostituting themselves with Molech.
6 “‘Maɖe ŋku atɔ ame sia ame si adze ŋɔliyɔlawo kple bokɔnɔwo yome, eye madze nye boŋ yome o; matsrɔ̃e ɖa le eƒe amewo dome.
Whoever turns to mediums or spiritists to prostitute himself with them, I will also set My face against that person and cut him off from his people.
7 “‘Eya ta mikɔ mia ɖokuiwo ŋu, eye mianɔ kɔkɔe, elabena nyee nye Yehowa, miaƒe Mawu.
Consecrate yourselves, therefore, and be holy, because I am the LORD your God.
8 Miwɔ nye seawo katã dzi, elabena nyee nye Yehowa, ame si kɔa mia ŋuti.
And you shall keep My statutes and practice them. I am the LORD who sanctifies you.
9 “‘Ame sia ame si aƒo fi ade fofoa alo dadaa la, ele be woawui kokoko, elabena eƒo fi de eya ŋutɔ ƒe ŋutilã kple ʋu.
If anyone curses his father or mother, he must be put to death. He has cursed his father or mother; his blood shall be upon him.
10 “‘Ne ŋutsu aɖe wɔ ahasi kple ehavi srɔ̃ la, ele be woawu ŋutsu ahasiwɔla la kple nyɔnu ahasiwɔla la siaa.
If a man commits adultery with another man’s wife—with the wife of his neighbor—both the adulterer and the adulteress must surely be put to death.
11 “‘Ne ŋutsu aɖe dɔ fofoa srɔ̃ gbɔ la, eɖe fofoa ƒe amama ɖe go. Ele be woawu ŋutsu la kple nyɔnu la siaa, elabena woawo ŋutɔe di ku na wo ɖokui.
If a man lies with his father’s wife, he has uncovered his father’s nakedness. Both must surely be put to death; their blood is upon them.
12 “‘Ne ŋutsu aɖe dɔ toyɔvia gbɔ la, woawu wo ame eve la siaa; woawo ŋutɔe di ku na wo ɖokui to ɖiƒoƒo wo nɔewo me.
If a man lies with his daughter-in-law, both must surely be put to death. They have acted perversely; their blood is upon them.
13 “‘Tohehe si woana ŋutsu eve siwo dɔ wo nɔewo gbɔe nye woawu wo ame eve la. Woawo ŋutɔe di ku na wo ɖokui.
If a man lies with a man as with a woman, they have both committed an abomination. They must surely be put to death; their blood is upon them.
14 “‘Ŋutsu si dɔ nyɔnu aɖe kple nyɔnu la dada gbɔ la, wɔ nu vɔ̃ triakɔ aɖe. Woatɔ dzo wo ame etɔ̃ la katã agbagbee be wòaɖe ŋukpenanu vɔ̃ɖi sia ɖa le mia dome.
If a man marries both a woman and her mother, it is depraved. Both he and they must be burned in the fire, so that there will be no depravity among you.
15 “‘Ne ŋutsu aɖe de asi lãnɔ aɖe ŋu la, ele be woawu ŋutsu la kple lãnɔ la siaa, elabena woƒe ʋu anɔ woawo ŋutɔ ƒe ta dzi.
If a man lies carnally with an animal, he must be put to death. And you are also to kill the animal.
16 “‘Ne nyɔnu aɖe na lã aɖe de asi eŋu la, ele be woawu nyɔnu la kple lã la siaa, elabena tohehe mae dze na wo.
If a woman approaches any animal to mate with it, you must kill both the woman and the animal. They must surely be put to death; their blood is upon them.
17 “‘Ne ŋutsu aɖe de asi nɔvia nyɔnu, eɖanye fofoa ƒe vinyɔnu alo dadaa ƒe vinyɔnu ŋu la, enye ŋukpenanu, eye ele be woatsrɔ̃ wo ame eve la ɖa tso Israelviwo dome. Fɔɖiɖi la anɔ ŋutsu la dzi.
If a man marries his sister, whether the daughter of his father or of his mother, and they have sexual relations, it is a disgrace. They must be cut off in the sight of their people. He has uncovered the nakedness of his sister; he shall bear his iniquity.
18 “‘Ne ŋutsu aɖe dɔ nyɔnu aɖe si tsi gbɔto gbɔ la, woatsrɔ̃ wo ame eve la, elabena ŋutsu la ɖe nyɔnu la ƒe makɔmakɔnyenye ɖe go.
If a man lies with a menstruating woman and has sexual relations with her, he has exposed the source of her flow, and she has uncovered the source of her blood. Both of them must be cut off from among their people.
19 “‘Ŋutsu aɖeke made asi fofoa nɔvinyɔnu alo dadaa nɔvinyɔnu ŋu o, elabena ƒometɔ tututu wonye na wo nɔewo. Woƒe fɔɖiɖi anɔ woawo ŋutɔ dzi.
You must not have sexual relations with the sister of your mother or your father, for it is exposing one’s own kin; both shall bear their iniquity.
20 “‘Ne ŋutsu aɖe de asi fofoa nɔviŋutsu srɔ̃ alo dadaa nɔviŋutsu srɔ̃ ŋu la, ekema eɖe fofoa nɔviŋutsu alo dadaa nɔviŋutsu la ƒe amama ɖe go. Woƒe tohehee nye woƒe nu vɔ̃ anɔ woƒe ta dzi, eye woatsi ko va se ɖe woƒe kugbe.
If a man lies with his uncle’s wife, he has uncovered the nakedness of his uncle. They will bear their sin; they shall die childless.
21 “‘Ne ŋutsu aɖe de asi nɔvia ŋutsu srɔ̃ ŋuti la, ewɔ nu makɔmakɔ, elabena eɖe nɔvia ŋutsu la ƒe amama ɖe go. Woatsi ko va se ɖe woƒe kugbe.
If a man marries his brother’s wife, it is an act of impurity. He has uncovered the nakedness of his brother; they shall be childless.
22 “‘Eya ta miwɔ nye seawo kple nye ɖoɖowo katã dzi, ale be anyigba si metsɔ na mi la matu mi aƒu gbe o.
You are therefore to keep all My statutes and ordinances, so that the land where I am bringing you to live will not vomit you out.
23 Migawɔ dukɔ siwo manya ɖa le mia ŋgɔ la ƒe kɔnuwo o, elabena nu tovo siwo katã ŋu mede se na mi le la, woawoe wowɔna. Nu sia tae melé fu wo ɖo.
You must not follow the statutes of the nations I am driving out before you. Because they did all these things, I abhorred them.
24 Medo woƒe anyigba ŋugbe na mi. Matsɔe na mi wòazu mia tɔ. Enye anyigba aɖe si dzi notsi kple anyitsi bɔ ɖo. Nyee nye Yehowa, miaƒe Mawu la, ame si de vovototo miawo kple dukɔ bubuwo ƒe amewo dome.
But I have told you that you will inherit their land, since I will give it to you as an inheritance—a land flowing with milk and honey. I am the LORD your God, who has set you apart from the peoples.
25 “‘Eya ta ele be miade vovototo xe kple lã siwo meɖe mɔ na mi be miaɖu kple esiwo mebe migaɖu o la dome. Migaƒo ɖi mia ɖokui, eye miana magbe nu le mia gbɔ to miaƒe lã kple xe siwo mede se na mi be migaɖu o la ɖuɖu me o, togbɔ be wobɔ ɖe anyigba la dzi fũu hã.
You are therefore to distinguish between clean and unclean animals and birds. Do not become contaminated by any animal or bird, or by anything that crawls on the ground; I have set these apart as unclean for you.
26 Ele be mianye ame kɔkɔewo nam, elabena nye Yehowa la, kɔkɔetɔe menye, eye meɖe mi ɖe aga tso dukɔ bubuwo me tɔwo katã gbɔ be mianye tɔnyewo.
You are to be holy to Me because I, the LORD, am holy, and I have set you apart from the nations to be My own.
27 “‘Ele kokoko be woaƒu kpe ŋɔliyɔlawo alo bokɔwo, woɖanye ŋutsuwo alo nyɔnuwo o, woaku. Woawo ŋutɔe di ku na wo ɖokui.’”
A man or a woman who is a medium or spiritist must surely be put to death. They shall be stoned; their blood is upon them.’”
