Mose 3 20
1 Yehowa gblɔ na Mose be,
And Jehovah speaketh 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 unto the sons of Israel thou dost say, Any man of the sons of Israel, and of the sojourners who is sojourning in Israel, who giveth of his seed to the Molech, is certainly put to death; the people of the land do 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 — I set My face against that man, and have cut him off from the midst of his people, for of his seed he hath given to the Molech, so as to defile My sanctuary, and to pollute 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 really hide their eyes from that man, in his giving of his seed to the Molech, 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 I have set My face against that man, and against his family, and have cut him off, and all who are going a-whoring after him, even going a-whoring after the Molech, from the midst of 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 who turneth unto those having familiar spirits, and unto the wizards, to go a-whoring after them, I have even set My face against that person, and cut him off from the midst of his people.
7 “‘Eya ta mikɔ mia ɖokuiwo ŋu, eye mianɔ kɔkɔe, elabena nyee nye Yehowa, miaƒe Mawu.
'And ye have sanctified yourselves, and ye have been holy, for I [am] Jehovah your God;
8 Miwɔ nye seawo katã dzi, elabena nyee nye Yehowa, ame si kɔa mia ŋuti.
and ye have kept My statutes and have done them; I [am] Jehovah, sanctifying 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 any man who revileth his father and his mother is certainly put to death; his father and his mother he hath reviled: his blood [is] on him.
10 “‘Ne ŋutsu aɖe wɔ ahasi kple ehavi srɔ̃ la, ele be woawu ŋutsu ahasiwɔla la kple nyɔnu ahasiwɔla la siaa.
'And a man who committeth adultery with a man's wife — who committeth adultery with the wife of his neighbour — the adulterer and the adulteress are surely 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.
'And a man who lieth with his father's wife — the nakedness of his father he hath uncovered — both of them are certainly put to death; their blood [is] on 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 a man who lieth with his daughter-in-law — both of them are certainly put to death; confusion they have made; their blood [is] on 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 a man who lieth with a male as one lieth with a woman; abomination both of them have done; they are certainly put to death; their blood [is] on 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 a man who taketh the woman and her mother — it [is] wickedness; with fire they burn him and them, and there is no wickedness in your midst.
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 who giveth his lying with a beast is certainly put to death, and the beast ye do 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 a woman who draweth near unto any beast to lie with it — thou hast even slain the woman and the beast; they are certainly put to death; their blood [is] on 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 a man who taketh his sister, a daughter of his father or daughter of his mother, and he hath seen her nakedness, and she seeth his nakedness: it is a shame; and they have been cut off before the eyes of the sons of their people; the nakedness of his sister he hath uncovered; his iniquity he beareth.
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 a man who lieth with a sick woman, and hath uncovered her nakedness, her fountain he hath made bare, and she hath uncovered the fountain of her blood, — even both of them have been 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, and of thy father's sister, thou dost not uncover; because his relation he hath made bare; their iniquity 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 a man who lieth with his aunt, the nakedness of his uncle he hath uncovered; their sin they bear; childless they die.
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.
'And a man who taketh his brother's wife — it [is] impurity; the nakedness of his brother he hath uncovered; childless they are.
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 ye have kept all My statutes, and all My judgments, and have done them, and the land vomiteth you not out whither I am bringing you in to dwell in 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 ye walk not in the statutes of the nation which I am sending away from before you, for all these they have done, and I am wearied with 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 say to you, Ye — ye do possess their ground, and I — I give it to you to possess it, a land flowing with milk and honey; I [am] Jehovah your God, who hath 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.
'And ye have made separation between the pure beasts and the unclean, and between the unclean fowl and the pure, and ye do not make yourselves abominable by beast or by fowl, or by anything which creepeth [on] the ground which I have separated to you for 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 have been holy to Me; for holy [am] I, Jehovah; and I separate you from the peoples to become Mine.
27 “‘Ele kokoko be woaƒu kpe ŋɔliyɔlawo alo bokɔwo, woɖanye ŋutsuwo alo nyɔnuwo o, woaku. Woawo ŋutɔe di ku na wo ɖokui.’”
'And a man or woman — when there is in them a familiar spirit, or who [are] wizards — are certainly put to death; with stones they stone them; their blood [is] on them.'
