< Mose 3 24 >

1 Yehowa gblɔ na Mose be,
Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
2 “Gblɔ na Israelviwo be woana amiti ƒe ami nyuitɔ wò nàde akaɖiawo me le agbadɔ la me, ale be akaɖiawo nanɔ bibim ɣe sia ɣi.
“Command the people of Israel to bring you pure oil beaten from olives to be used in the lamp, that the light may burn continually.
3 Le Mawu ƒe Agbadɔ la ƒe xɔmetsovɔ megbe la, Aron akpɔ akaɖiawo dzi woanɔ bibim zã kple keli le Yehowa ŋkume. Esia nye se mavɔ na Israelviwo tso dzidzime yi dzidzime.
Outside the curtain before the covenant decrees in the tent of meeting, Aaron must continually, from evening to morning, keep the lamp lit before Yahweh. This will be a permanent statute throughout your people's generations.
4 Woakpɔ akaɖi siwo le sikakaɖiti la dzi le Yehowa ŋkume la dzi ɣeawo katã ɣi.
The high priest must always keep the lamps lit before Yahweh, the lamps on the lampstand of pure gold.
5 “Le Dzudzɔgbe ɖe sia ɖe dzi la, nunɔlagã atsɔ abolo bɔbɔe wuieve si wotsɔ wɔ kilogram etɔ̃ me ɖe sia ɖe,
You must take fine flour and bake twelve loaves with it. There must be two-tenths of an ephah in each loaf.
6 ada ɖe fli eve me: ade nanɔ fli ɖeka me le sikakplɔ̃ si le tsitre ɖe Yehowa ŋkume la dzi.
Then you must set them in two rows, six in a row, on the table of pure gold before Yahweh.
7 Woatsɔ wɔ memee kilogram wuieve ame abolo ɖe sia ɖe. Woawu lifi ɖe fli eveawo dzi. Esia anye dzovɔsa na Yehowa,
You must put pure incense along each row of loaves as a representative offering. This incense will be burnt for Yahweh.
8 Woaɖoe Yehowa ƒe ŋkume ɖaa Dzudzɔgbe sia Dzudzɔgbe, eye miatsɔe aɖo ŋku Mawu ƒe nubabla mavɔ si wòwɔ kple Israelviwo la dzi.
Every Sabbath day the high priest must regularly set out the bread before Yahweh on behalf of the people of Israel, as a sign of an everlasting covenant.
9 Aron kple via ŋutsuwo aɖu abolo la le teƒe tɔxɛ si woɖo na aboloawo ɖuɖu, elabena esiawoe nye dzovɔ si wosa na Yehowa le eƒe se mavɔ la nu. Wonye nu kɔkɔewo ƒe nu kɔkɔewo.”
This offering will be for Aaron and his sons, and they are to eat it in a place that is holy, for it is a portion from the offerings to Yahweh made by fire.”
10 Gbe ɖeka, le asaɖa la me la, ɖekakpui aɖe si dada nye Israel nyɔnu, eye fofoa nye Egiptetɔ la wɔ avu kple Israel ŋutsu aɖe.
Now it happened that the son of an Israelite woman, whose father was an Egyptian, went among the people of Israel. This son of the Israelite woman fought against an Israelite man in the camp.
11 Le avu sia wɔwɔ me la, Israel nyɔnu la ƒe vi gblɔ busunya ɖe Mawu ŋu, eye wohee va Mose gbɔ be wòadrɔ̃ ʋɔnui. (Dadaa ŋkɔe nye Selomit, Dibri ƒe vinyɔnu, tso Dan ƒe to la me.)
The son of the Israelite woman blasphemed the name of Yahweh and cursed God, so the people brought him to Moses. His mother's name was Shelomith, the daughter of Dibri, from the tribe of Dan.
12 Wodee gaxɔ me va se ɖe esime Yehowa aɖe nu si woawɔe la afia.
They held him in custody until Yahweh himself should declare his will to them.
13 Yehowa gblɔ na Mose be,
Then Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
14 “Kplɔ busunyagblɔla la yi asaɖa la godo. Ame siwo katã se eƒe busunyagbɔgblɔ la ada asi ɖe eƒe ta dzi, eye takpelawo katã aƒu kpee.
“Take the man who has cursed God outside the camp. All who heard him must lay their hands on his head, and then the entire assembly must stone him.
15 Gblɔ na Israelviwo be, ‘Ne ame aɖe ƒo fi de eƒe Mawu la, ekema eɖi fɔ;
You must explain to the people of Israel and say, 'Whoever curses his God must carry his own guilt.
16 woawu ame sia ame si ado vlo Yehowa ƒe ŋkɔ. Ame sia ame si le ameha la me aƒu kpee. Eɖanye dzɔleaƒea loo alo amedzro, ne edo vlo Ŋkɔ la ko, woawui.
He who blasphemes the name of Yahweh must surely be put to death. All the assembly must certainly stone him, whether he is a foreigner or a native-born Israelite. If anyone blasphemes the name of Yahweh, he must be put to death.
17 “‘Kpe ɖe esia ŋuti la, woawu hlɔ̃dolawo katã.
If anyone strikes down another human being, he must certainly be put to death.
18 Ne ame aɖe wu lã aɖe si menye etɔ o la, ele be wòaɖoe eteƒe.
If anyone strikes down someone's animal, he must pay it back, life for life.
19 To si woahe na ame aɖe si awɔ nuvevi ame aɖe lae nye be woawɔ nuvevi ma tututu eya hã le mɔ ma ke nu:
If anyone injures his neighbor, it must be done to him as he did to his neighbor:
20 ƒuŋeŋe ɖe ƒuŋeŋe teƒe, ŋku ɖe ŋku teƒe, aɖu ɖe aɖu teƒe. Nu sia nu si ame aɖe awɔ nɔvia la, woawɔ nu ma tututu eya hã.
fracture for fracture, eye for eye, tooth for tooth. As he has caused an injury to a person, so must it also be done to him.
21 “‘Megale egblɔm be ne ame aɖe wu ame bubu aɖe ƒe lã la, ele be wòaɖo eteƒe, eye ne ame aɖe wu ame la, woawu eya hã.
Anyone who kills an animal must pay it back, and anyone who kills a person must be put to death.
22 Se siwo miatsɔ akplɔ amedzrowo la, woawo kee miatsɔ akplɔ Israelvi dzɔleaƒeawo hã, elabena nyee nye Yehowa, miaƒe Mawu.’”
You must have the same law for both the foreigner and the native-born Israelite, for I am Yahweh your God.'”
23 Ale Mose ƒo nu na Israelviwo eye wohe ɖekakpui la yi asaɖa la godo, eye woƒu kpee va se ɖe esime wòku abe ale si Yehowa de se na Mose ene.
So Moses spoke to the people of Israel, and the people brought the man outside the camp, the one who had cursed Yahweh. They stoned him with stones. The people of Israel carried out the command of Yahweh to Moses.
