Mose 3 20
1 Yehowa gblɔ na Mose be,
And the Lord spoke unto 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.
And to the children of Israel shalt thou say, Whatsoever man of the children of Israel, or of the strangers that sojourn in Israel, that giveth any of his seed unto Molech, shall surely be put to death; the people of 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 I will cut him off from among his people; because of his seed hath he given unto Molech, in order to defile my sanctuary, and to profane 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 should in any way hide their eyes from that man, when he giveth of his seed unto Molech, so as not to kill him:
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 against his family, and I will cut him off, and all that go astray after him, to go astray after Molech, from among 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 person that turneth unto such as have familiar spirits, and unto wizards, to go astray after them, —then will I set my face against that person, and will cut him off from among his people.
7 “‘Eya ta mikɔ mia ɖokuiwo ŋu, eye mianɔ kɔkɔe, elabena nyee nye Yehowa, miaƒe Mawu.
Sanctify yourselves therefore, and be ye holy; for I am the Lord your God.
8 Miwɔ nye seawo katã dzi, elabena nyee nye Yehowa, ame si kɔa mia ŋuti.
And ye shall keep my statutes, and do them: I am the Lord who sanctify 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.
For every one whatever that curseth his father or his mother shall be put to death: his father or his mother hath he cursed, 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.
And if there be a man that committeth adultery with a man's wife, [whoever it be] that committeth adultery with his neighbor's wife: then shall the adulterer be put to death, together with 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 a man that lieth with his father's wife, hath uncovered his father's nakedness: both of them shall be put to death; their blood shall be 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.
And if a man lie with his daughter-in-law, both of them shall be put to death: they have committed an unnatural deed; their blood shall be 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.
And if a man lie with a male, as they lie with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall be put to death; their blood shall be 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.
And if a man take a woman and her mother, it is incest: in fire shall they burn him and them; that there be no incest 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.
And a man that lieth with a beast shall be put to death: and the beast also shall ye slay.
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 if a woman approach unto any beast to lie down thereto, then shalt thou kill the woman, and the beast; they shall be put to death; their blood shall be 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.
And if a man take his sister, the daughter of his father, or the daughter of his mother, and he see her nakedness, and she see his nakedness: it is a disgraceful deed; and they shall be cut off before the eyes of their people: the nakedness of his sister hath he uncovered; his iniquity shall he bear.
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 if a man lie with a woman suffering of her separation, and uncover her nakedness, and he lay open her fountain, and she uncover the fountain of her blood: then shall both of them be cut off from the midst of 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.
And the nakedness of thy mother's sister, or of thy father's sister shalt thou not uncover; for his near of kin he uncovereth: their iniquity shall they bear.
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.
And the man that lieth with his uncle's wife, hath uncovered his uncle's nakedness: their sin shall they bear; childless shall they die.

And if a man do take his brother's wife, it is an abominable act: the nakedness of his brother hath he uncovered; childless shall they remain.
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 ye all my statutes, and all my ordinances, and do them; that the land, whither I bring you to dwell therein, may not vomit you forth.
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 ye shall not walk in the customs of the nation which I cast out before you; for all these things they committed, and therefore I felt loathing for 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 unto you, Ye shall possess their land, and I will give it unto you to possess it, a land flowing with milk and honey: I am the Eternal your God, who have separated you from the nations.
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.
Ye shall therefore make a difference between the clean beast and the unclean, and between the unclean fowl and the clean; and ye shall not make your souls abominable by the beast, or by the fowl, or by any manner of thing that creepeth on the ground, which I have separated from you as unclean.
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 ye shall be holy unto me, for I the Lord am holy; and I have separated you from the nations, that ye should 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 if there be among men or women one that hath a familiar spirit, or that is a wizard, they shall be put to death; with stones shall they stone them; their blood shall be upon them.
