< Mose 3 20 >

1 Yehowa gblɔ na Mose be,
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
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.
You shall also say to the children of Israel, If [there shall be] any of the children of Israel, or of those who have become proselytes in Israel, who shall give of his seed to Moloch, let him be surely put to death; the nation upon the land shall stone him with stones.
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 will cut him off from his people, because he has given of his seed to Moloch, to defile my sanctuary, and profane the name of them that are consecrated to me.
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 natives of the land should in anyway overlook that man in giving of his seed to Moloch, so as not to put him to death;
5 ekema nye ŋutɔ mado dɔmedzoe ɖe amea kple eƒe ƒometɔwo ŋu, eye matsrɔ̃ ame siwo katã subɔa Molek alo mawu bubuwo.
then will I set my face against that man and his family, and I will destroy him, and all who have been of one mind with him, so that he should go a whoring to the princes, from their people.
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.
And the soul that shall follow those who have in them divining spirits, or enchanters, so as to go a whoring after them; I will set my face against that soul, and will destroy it from amongst its people.
7 “‘Eya ta mikɔ mia ɖokuiwo ŋu, eye mianɔ kɔkɔe, elabena nyee nye Yehowa, miaƒe Mawu.
And you shall be holy, for I the Lord your God [am] holy.
8 Miwɔ nye seawo katã dzi, elabena nyee nye Yehowa, ame si kɔa mia ŋuti.
And you shall observe my ordinances, and do them: I [am] the Lord that 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.
Every man who shall speak evil of his father or of his mother, let him die the death; has he spoken evil of his father or his mother? he shall be guilty.
10 “‘Ne ŋutsu aɖe wɔ ahasi kple ehavi srɔ̃ la, ele be woawu ŋutsu ahasiwɔla la kple nyɔnu ahasiwɔla la siaa.
Whatever man shall commit adultery with the wife of a man, or whoever shall commit adultery with the wife of his neighbour, let them die the death, the adulterer and the adulteress.
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.
And if any one should lie with his father's wife, he has uncovered his father's nakedness: let them both die the death, they are guilty.
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.
And if any one should lie with his daughter-in-law, let them both be put to death; for they have wrought impiety, they are guilty.
13 “‘Tohehe si woana ŋutsu eve siwo dɔ wo nɔewo gbɔe nye woawu wo ame eve la. Woawo ŋutɔe di ku na wo ɖokui.
And whoever shall lie with a male as with a woman, they have both wrought abomination; let them die the death, they are guilty.
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.
Whosoever shall take a woman and her mother, it is iniquity: they shall burn him and them with fire; so there shall not be iniquity amongst 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.
And whoever shall lie with a beast, let him die the death; and you shall kill the beast.
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.
And whatever woman shall approach any beast, so as to have connexion with it, you shall kill the woman and the beast: let them die the death, they are guilty.
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.
Whosoever shall take his sister by his father or by his mother, and shall see her nakedness, and she see his nakedness, it is a reproach: they shall be destroyed before the children of their family; he has uncovered his sister's nakedness, they shall bear their sin.
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.
And whatever man shall lie with a woman that is set apart [for a flux], and shall uncover her nakedness, he has uncovered her fountain, and she has uncovered the flux of her blood: they shall both be destroyed from amongst their generation.
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.
And you shall not uncover the nakedness of your father's sister, or of the sister of your mother; for that man has uncovered the nakedness of one near akin: they 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.
Whosoever shall lie with his near kinswoman, has uncovered the nakedness of one near akin to him: 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.
Whoever shall take his brother's wife, it is uncleanness; he has uncovered his brother's nakedness; they shall die 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.
And keep you all my ordinances, and my judgements; and you shall do them, and the land shall not be aggrieved with you, into which I bring you to dwell upon it.
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.
And walk you not in the customs of the nations which I drive out from before you; for they have done all these things, and I have 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.
and I said to you, You shall inherit their land, and I will give it to you for a possession, [even] a land flowing with milk and honey: I [am] the Lord your God, who have separated you from all people.
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.
And you shall make a distinction between the clean and the unclean cattle, and between clean and unclean birds; and you shall not defile your souls with cattle, or with birds, or with any creeping things of the earth, which I have separated for you by reason of uncleanness.
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.
And you shall be holy to me; because I the Lord your God [am] holy, who separated you from all nations, to be mine.
27 “‘Ele kokoko be woaƒu kpe ŋɔliyɔlawo alo bokɔwo, woɖanye ŋutsuwo alo nyɔnuwo o, woaku. Woawo ŋutɔe di ku na wo ɖokui.’”
And [as for] a man or woman whoever of them shall have in them a divining spirit, or be an enchanter, let them both die the death: you shall stone them with stones, they are guilty.
