Mose 3 26

1 “‘Legba aɖeke meganɔ mia si o. Migasubɔ aklamakpakpɛwo, aƒeliwo alo kpe kpakpɛwo gbeɖegbeɖe o, elabena nyee nye Yehowa, miaƒe Mawu.

I am the Lord your God: you shall not make to yourselves any idol or graven thing, neither shall you erect pillars, nor set up a remarkable stone in your land, to adore it: for I am the Lord your God.

2 “‘Miwɔ nye Dzudzɔgbe ƒe sewo dzi, eye miade bubu nye Agbadɔ ŋu, elabena nyee nye Yehowa.

Keep my sabbaths, and reverence my sanctuary: I am the Lord.

3 “‘Ne miewɔ nye seawo katã dzi la,

If you walk in my precepts, and keep my commandments, and do them, I will give you rein in due seasons.

4 mana tsi nadza na mi le tsidzaɣi, anyigba ana eƒe nuɖuɖu, eye gbemetiwo atse woƒe kutsetsewo.

And the ground shall bring forth its increase, and the trees shall be filled with fruit.

5 Miaƒe luƒoƒo ayi edzi va se ɖe wainxaɣi, wainxaɣi ayi edzi va se ɖe nuƒãɣi, miaɖu nu siwo katã ahiã mi, eye mianɔ miaƒe anyigba dzi le dedinɔnɔ me,

The threshing of your harvest shall reach unto the vintage, and the vintage shall reach unto the sowing time: and you shall eat your bread to the full, and dwell in your land without fear.

6 elabena mana ŋutifafa mi. Miamlɔ anyi, adɔ alɔ̃ le dziɖeɖi me. Manya lã wɔadãwo ɖa le mia ŋgɔ.

I will give peace in your coasts: you shall sleep, and there shall be none to make you afraid. I will take away evil beasts: and the sword shall not pass through your quarters.

7 Mianya miaƒe futɔwo ɖe du nu; woaku ɖe miaƒe yi nu.

You shall pursue your enemies, and they shall fall before you.

8 Mia dometɔ atɔ̃ anya ame alafa ɖeka ɖe du nu, eye mia dometɔ alafa ɖeka anya ame akpe ewo! Miaɖu miaƒe futɔwo katã dzi.

Five of yours shall pursue a hundred others, and a hundred of you ten thousand: your enemies shall fall before you by the sword.

9 Makpɔ mia dzi, mana miadzi asɔ gbɔ, eye mawɔ nu si mebla kpli mi la dzi.

I will look on you, and make you increase: you shell be multiplied, and I will establish my covenant with you.

10 Miaƒe nukuwo asɔ gbɔ na mi wu ale si miehiã ale gbegbe be miaganya nu si miawɔ kple esi atsi anyi o, eye mianya ɣeyiɣi si nuŋeɣi agaɖo o!

You shall eat the oldest of the old store, and, new coming on, you shall cast away the old.

11 Manɔ mia dome; mianye ŋunyɔnu nam o.

I will set my tabernacle in the midst of you, and my soul shall not cast you off.

12 Mazɔ le mia dome, manye miaƒe Mawu, eye miawo mianye nye amewo,

I will walk among you, and will be your God, and you shall be my people.

13 elabena nyee nye Yehowa, miaƒe Mawu, ame si kplɔ mi tso Egiptenyigba dzi, ale be miaganye kluviwo azɔ o. Meɖe kɔkuti le kɔ dzi na mi, ale be miazɔ abe ablɔɖemewo kple bubumewo ene.’”

I am the Lord your God: who have brought you out of the land of the Egyptians, that you should not serve them, and who have broken the chains of your necks, that you might go upright.

14 “Ke ne miaɖo tom alo awɔ nye seawo dzi o,

But if you will not hear me, nor do all my commandments,

15 ke boŋ miagbe nye ɖoɖowo la,

If you despise my laws, and contemn my judgments so as not to do those things which are appointed by me, and to make void my covenant:

16 ekema nu si mawɔ mie nye: mado ŋɔdzi na mi kple asrã sesẽtɔ. Dɔléle aɖe fu na miaƒe ŋkuwo, eye gbɔdzɔgbɔdzɔ age ɖe miaƒe agbenɔnɔ me. Dzodzroe miaƒã miaƒe nukuwo, elabena miaƒe futɔwoe aɖu wo.

I also will do these things to you: I will quickly visit you with poverty, and burning heat, which shall waste your eyes, and consume your lives. You shall sow your seed in vain, which shall be devoured by your enemies.

17 “Maɖe ŋku atɔ mi; miasi le miaƒe futɔwo nu. Ame siwo lé fu mi la aɖu mia dzi. Gawu la, miade asi sisi me, togbɔ be ame aɖeke manɔ mia nyam o hã!

I will set my face against you, and you shall fall down before your enemies, and shall be made subject to them that hate you, you shall flee when no man pursueth you.

18 “Ne miegagbe toɖoɖom kokoko la, mahe to na mi vevie zi adre ɖe miaƒe nu vɔ̃wo ta.

But if you will not yet for all this obey me: I will chastise you seven times more for your sins,

19 Maɖe miaƒe ŋusẽ si dzi miedana ɖo la dzi, mana dziƒo nanɔ na mi abe gayibɔ ene, eye anyigba nanɔ na mi abe akɔbli ene.

And I will break the pride of your stubbornness, and I will make to you the heaven above as iron, and the earth as brass:

20 Miadagba dzodzro, elabena miaƒe anyigba mana miaƒe nukuwo naʋã o, eye miaƒe kutsetsetiwo matse ku o.

Your labour shall be spent in vain, the ground shall not bring forth her increase, nor the trees yield their fruit.

21 “Ne miagaɖo tom ɣe ma ɣi hã o la, mana dɔvɔ̃ bubu adre nava mia dzi ɖe miaƒe nu vɔ̃wo ta.

If you walk contrary to me, and will not hearken to me, I will bring seven times more plagues upon you for your sins:

22 Maɖo lã wɔadãwo ɖa be woawu mia viwo, avuvu miaƒe aƒemelãwo, aɖe miaƒe xexlẽme dzi akpɔtɔ, ale be amewo avɔ le miaƒe mɔwo dzi.

And I will send in upon you the beasts of the held, to destroy you and your cattle, and make you few in number, and that your highways may be desolate.

23 “Eye ne nu siawo gɔ̃ hã mana miatrɔ dzi me o, ke boŋ miagayi tsitretsitsi ɖe nye didiwo ŋu dzi la,

And if even so you will not amend, but will walk contrary to me:

24 ekema nye hã matsi tsitre ɖe miaƒe didiwo ŋu, eye nye ŋutɔ gɔ̃ hã mafia fu mi zi adre ɖe miaƒe nu vɔ̃wo ta.

I also will walk contrary to you, and will strike you seven times for your sins.

25 Mabia hlɔ̃ mi le ale si miegbe nye nubabla dzi wɔwɔ ta, to aʋawɔwɔ hehe va mia dzi me. Miasi ayi miaƒe duwo me, eye maɖo dɔvɔ̃ ɖe mia dome le afi ma. Miaƒe futɔwo aɖu mia dzi.

And I will bring in upon you the sword that shall avenge my covenant. And when you shall flee into the cities, I will send the pestilence in the midst of you, and you shall be delivered into the hands of your enemies,

26 Magblẽ miaƒe nuɖuɖu ƒe dzɔtsoƒe me, ale be abolokpo ɖeka pɛ ame abolo na ƒome ewo. Ne mieɖu nu sue si aka mia si vɔ la, dɔ agawu mi kokoko.

After I shall have broken the staff of your bread: so that ten women shall bake your bread in one oven, and give it out by weight: and you shall eat, and shall not be filled.

27 “Ne miagagbe toɖoɖom kple nye sewo dzi wɔwɔ kokoko la,

But if you will not for all this hearken to me, but will walk against me:

28 ekema mana nye dɔmedzoe sesẽ la nabi ɖe mia ŋu, eye mana tohehe si dzi ŋɔ zi adre wu tsãtɔwo la nava mia dzi le miaƒe nu vɔ̃wo ta.

I will also go against you with opposite fury, and I will chastise you with seven plagues for your sins,

29 Miaɖu miawo ŋutɔ mia viŋutsuwo kple mia vinyɔnuwo,

So that you shall eat the flesh of your sons and of your daughters.

30 makaka vɔsamlekpui siwo le towo dzi, afi si miedea ta agu na legbawo le. Magbã miaƒe dzudzɔdovɔsamlekpuiwo, miaƒe ame kukuwo aƒaƒã ɖe miaƒe legbawo dome, eye mianyɔ ŋu nam.

I will destroy your high places, and break your idols. You shall fall among the ruins of your idols, and my soul shall abhor you.

31 Mana miaƒe du gãwo nazu aƒedowo, magblẽ miaƒe mawusubɔƒewo, eye miaƒe dzudzɔdovɔsamlekpuiwo magadze ŋunye o.

Insomuch that I will bring your cities to be a wilderness, and I will make your sanctuaries desolate, and will receive no more your sweet odours.

32 Ɛ̃, mana miaƒe anyigba nazu gbegbe, miaƒe futɔwo axɔ miaƒe anyigba, eye woƒe nu aku le nu si mewɔ mi la ta.

And I will destroy your land, and your enemies shall be astonished at it, when they shall be the inhabitants thereof.

33 “Makaka mi ɖe dukɔwo dome, eye ne mieyina la, mana aʋa nasi mi. Miaƒe anyigba azu gbegbe, eye miaƒe du gãwo agbã.

And I will scatter you among the Gentiles, and I will draw out the sword after you, and your land shall be desert, and your cities destroyed.

34 Ekema anyigba la akpɔ gbɔdzɔe le ɣeyiɣi siwo katã wònye gbegbe la me, esime miele miaƒe futɔwo ƒe anyigba dzi, ekema anyigba la adzudzɔ, eye wòakpɔ eƒe gbɔdzɔe.

Then shall the land enjoy her sabbaths all the days of her desolation: when you shall be

35 Le ɣeyiɣi siwo katã me wònye gbegbe la, anyigba la akpɔ dzudzɔ si mekpɔ le dzudzɔgbe siwo mienɔ edzi la kpɔ o.

In the enemy’s land, she shall keep a sabbath, and rest in the sabbaths of her desolation, because she did not rest in your sabbaths when you dwelt therein.

36 “Mana woaɖe aboyo ame siwo aganɔ agbe la ayi didiƒenyigbawo dzi abe aʋaléleawo kple kluviwo ene. Woanɔ afi ma kple dzodzo nyanyanya ɣe sia ɣi. Ne ya ƒo aŋugba la, eƒe gbeɖiɖi ana woasi abe ame aɖee le wo nyam kple yi ene. Woadze anyi le esime ame aɖeke mele wo nyam o.

And as to them that shall remain of you I will send fear in their hearts in the countries of their enemies, the sound of a flying leaf shall terrify them, and they shall flee as it were from the sword: they shall fall, when no man pursueth them,

37 Ɛ̃, togbɔ be ame aɖeke mele wo nyam o hã la, woasi, anɔ wo nɔewo dzi dzem abe ame siwo le sisim le aʋagbedzi, eye womate ŋu anɔ te ɖe futɔwo nu o ene.

And they shall every one fall upon their brethren as fleeing from wars, none of you shall dare to resist your enemies.

38 Miatsrɔ̃ le dukɔwo dome, eye miaƒe futɔwo awu mi.

You shall perish among the Gentiles, and an enemy’s land shall consume you.

39 Ame siwo atsi agbe la atsi asi le futɔwo ƒe anyigba dzi le woƒe nu vɔ̃wo kple nu vɔ̃ siwo wo fofowo wɔ la ta.

And if of them also some remain, they shall pine away in their iniquities, in the land of their enemies, and they shall be afflicted for the sins of their fathers, and their own:

40 “Ke ne woaʋu woawo ŋutɔ ƒe nu vɔ̃wo kple wo fofowo ƒe nu vɔ̃wo me, woƒe tsitretsitsi ɖe ŋunye kple woƒe fulélem si

Until they confess their iniquities and the iniquities of their ancestors, whereby they have transgressed me, and walked contrary unto me.

41 na meɖo wo ɖe woƒe futɔwo ƒe anyigba dzi me la, ekema ne woƒe dzi kuatriwo bɔbɔ wo ɖokui, eye woxe fe ɖe woƒe nu vɔ̃ ta la,

Therefore I also will walk them, and bring them into their enemies’ land until their uncircumcised mind be ashamed: then shall they pray for their sins.

42 magaɖo ŋku ŋugbe siwo medo na Abraham, Isak kple Yakob la dzi. Maɖo ŋku anyigba la kple ale si amewo gblẽe ɖi la dzi,

And I will remember my covenant, that I made with Jacob, and Isaac, and Abraham. I will remember also the land:

43 elabena ele be anyigba la nagbɔ ɖe eme le esime amewo dzo le edzi. Ekema, mlɔeba la, woaxɔ woƒe tohehe le nye seawo dzi mawɔmawɔ kple woƒe vlododo nye dziɖuɖu ta.

Which when she shall be left by them, shall enjoy her sabbaths, being desolate for them. But they shall pray for their sins, because they rejected my judgments, and despised my laws.

44 Ke togbɔ be wowɔ nu siawo katã hã la, nyematsrɔ̃ wo kple nubabla si mewɔ kpli wo la ɖikaa o, elabena nyee nye Yehowa, woƒe Mawu.

And yet for all that when they were in the land of their enemies, I did not cast them off altogether, neither did I so despise them that they should be quite consumed, and I should make void my covenant with them. For I am the Lord their God.

45 Le woawo ta la, maɖo ŋku nye ŋugbedodowo na wo tɔgbuiwo dzi be manye woƒe Mawu, elabena nyee kplɔ wo tɔgbuiwo tso Egipte le esime dukɔwo katã ƒe nu ku esi wonɔ nu siwo nɔ dzɔdzɔm la kpɔm. Nyee nye Yehowa!”

And I will remember my former covenant, when I brought them out of the land of Egypt, in the sight of the Gentiles, to be their God. I am the Lord.

46 Esiawoe nye se kple ɖoɖo siwo Yehowa na Israelviwo to Mose dzi le Sinai to la dzi.

These are the judgments, and precepts, and laws, which the Lord gave between him and the children of Israel in mount Sinai by the hand of Moses.
