Mose 3 20
1 Yehowa gblɔ na Mose be,
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.
"Moreover, you shall tell the children of Israel, 'Anyone of the children of Israel, or of the foreigners who sojourn in Israel, who gives any of his offspring to Molech; he 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.
I also will set my face against that person, and will cut him off from among his people because he has given of his offspring to Molech, 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,
If the people of the land all hide their eyes from that person, when he gives of his offspring to Molech, and do not 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 I will set my face against that man, and against his family, and will cut him off, and all who play the prostitute after him, to play the prostitute with 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.
"'The person that turns to spirits of the dead, and to familiar spirits, to prostitute himself with them, I will even 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 holy; for I am the LORD your God.
8 Miwɔ nye seawo katã dzi, elabena nyee nye Yehowa, ame si kɔa mia ŋuti.
You shall keep my statutes, and do 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.
"'For everyone who curses his father or his mother shall surely be put to death: he has cursed his father or his 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.
"'The man who commits adultery with another man's wife shall surely be put to death, both 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.
The man who lies with his father's wife has uncovered his father's nakedness: both of them shall surely 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.
"'If a man lies with his daughter-in-law, both of them shall surely be put to death: they have committed a perversion; their blood shall be upon them.

"'If a man has sexual relations with a male, as with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely 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.
"'If a man takes a wife and her mother, it is wickedness: they shall be burned with fire, both he and they; that there may be no wickedness 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 with an animal, he shall surely be put to death; and you shall kill the animal.

"'If a woman approaches any animal, and lies down with it, you shall kill the woman, and the animal: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.

"'If a man takes his sister, his father's daughter, or his mother's daughter, and sees her nakedness, and she sees his nakedness; it is a shameful thing; and they shall be cut off in the sight of the children of their people: he has uncovered his sister's nakedness; 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 woman having her monthly period, and uncovers her nakedness; he has made naked her fountain, and she has uncovered the fountain of her blood: and both of them shall 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 shall not uncover the nakedness of your mother's sister, nor of your father's sister; for he has made naked his close relative: 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.
If a man lies with his uncle's wife, he has uncovered his uncle's nakedness: they shall bear their sin; they shall die childless.

"'If a man takes his brother's wife, it is an impurity: he has uncovered his brother's nakedness; they shall be childless.

"'You shall therefore keep all my statutes, and all my ordinances, and do them; that the land, where I am bringing you to dwell, may 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 shall not walk in the customs of the nation, which I am casting out before you: for they did all these things, and therefore 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 said to you, "You shall inherit their land, and I will give it to you to possess it, a land flowing with milk and honey." I am the LORD your God, who has separated you 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 shall therefore make a distinction between the clean animal and the unclean, and between the unclean fowl and the clean: and you shall not make yourselves abominable by animal, or by bird, or by anything with which the ground teems, which I have separated from you 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 shall be holy to me: for I, the LORD, am holy, and have set you apart from the peoples, that you should be mine.

"'A man or a woman that is a medium, or is a wizard, shall surely be put to death: they shall stone them with stones; their blood shall be upon them.'"
