Mose 3 26

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

Ye shall make you no idols, neither shall ye rear you up a graven image, or a pillar, neither shall ye place any figured stone in your land, to bow down unto 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.

Ye shall keep My sabbaths, and reverence My sanctuary: I am the LORD.

3 “‘Ne miewɔ nye seawo katã dzi la,

If ye walk in My statutes, and keep My commandments, and do them;

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

then I will give your rains in their season, and the land shall yield her produce, and the trees of the field shall yield their 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,

And your threshing shall reach unto the vintage, and the vintage shall reach unto the sowing time; and ye shall eat your bread until ye have enough, and dwell in your land safely.

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

And I will give peace in the land, and ye shall lie down, and none shall make you afraid; and I will cause evil beasts to cease out of the land, neither shall the sword go through your land.

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

And ye shall chase your enemies, and they shall fall before you by the sword.

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.

And five of you shall chase a hundred, and a hundred of you shall chase ten thousand; and 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.

And I will have respect unto you, and make you fruitful, and multiply you; and 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!

And ye shall eat old store long kept, and ye shall bring forth the old from before the new.

11 Manɔ mia dome; mianye ŋunyɔnu nam o.

And I will set My tabernacle among you, and My soul shall not abhor you.

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

And I will walk among you, and will be your God, and ye 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 brought you forth out of the land of Egypt, that ye should not be their bondmen; and I have broken the bars of your yoke, and made you go upright.

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

But if ye will not hearken unto Me, and will not do all these commandments;

15 ke boŋ miagbe nye ɖoɖowo la,

and if ye shall reject My statutes, and if your soul abhor Mine ordinances, so that ye will not do all My commandments, but break 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 this unto you: I will appoint terror over you, even consumption and fever, that shall make the eyes to fail, and the soul to languish; and ye shall sow your seed in vain, for your enemies shall eat it.

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!

And I will set My face against you, and ye shall be smitten before your enemies; they that hate you shall rule over you; and ye shall flee when none pursueth you.

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

And if ye will not yet for these things hearken unto Me, then 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 power; and I will make your heaven as iron, and your earth as brass.

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

And your strength shall be spent in vain; for your land shall not yield her produce, neither shall the trees of the land 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.

And if ye walk contrary unto Me, and will not hearken unto Me; I will bring seven times more plagues upon you according to 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 the beast of the field among you, which shall rob you of your children, and destroy your cattle, and make you few in number; and your ways shall become 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 in spite of these things ye will not be corrected unto Me, but will walk contrary unto 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.

then will I also walk contrary unto you; and I will smite you, even I, 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 a sword upon you, that shall execute the vengeance of the covenant; and ye shall be gathered together within your cities; and I will send the pestilence among you; and ye shall be delivered into the hand of the enemy.

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.

When I break your staff of bread, ten women shall bake your bread in one oven, and they shall deliver your bread again by weight; and ye shall eat, and not be satisfied.

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

And if ye will not for all this hearken unto Me, but walk contrary unto 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.

then I will walk contrary unto you in fury; and I also will chastise you seven times for your sins.

29 Miaɖu miawo ŋutɔ mia viŋutsuwo kple mia vinyɔnuwo,

And ye shall eat the flesh of your sons, and the flesh of your daughters shall ye eat.

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.

And I will destroy your high places, and cut down your sun-pillars, and cast your carcasses upon the carcasses 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.

And I will make your cities a waste, and will bring your sanctuaries unto desolation, and I will not smell the savour of 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 bring the land into desolation; and your enemies that dwell therein shall be astonished at it.

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

And you will I scatter among the nations, and I will draw out the sword after you; and your land shall be a desolation, and your cities shall be a waste.

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 be paid her sabbaths, as long as it lieth desolate, and ye are in your enemies' land; even then shall the land rest, and repay her sabbaths.

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

As long as it lieth desolate it shall have rest; even the rest which it had not in your sabbaths, when ye dwelt upon it.

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 for them that are left of you, I will send a faintness into their heart in the lands of their enemies; and the sound of a driven leaf shall chase them; and they shall flee, as one fleeth from the sword; and they shall fall when none pursueth.

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 stumble one upon another, as it were before the sword, when none pursueth; and ye shall have no power to stand before your enemies.

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

And ye shall perish among the nations, and the land of your enemies shall eat you up.

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 they that are left of you shall pine away in their iniquity in your enemies' lands; and also in the iniquities of their fathers shall they pine away with them.

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

And they shall confess their iniquity, and the iniquity of their fathers, in their treachery which they committed against Me, and also that they have 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,

I also will walk contrary unto them, and bring them into the land of their enemies; if then perchance their uncircumcised heart be humbled, and they then be paid the punishment of their iniquity;

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,

then will I remember My covenant with Jacob, and also My covenant with Isaac, and also My covenant with Abraham will I remember; and I will remember 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.

For the land shall lie forsaken without them, and shall be paid her sabbaths, while she lieth desolate without them; and they shall be paid the punishment of their iniquity; because, even because they rejected Mine ordinances, and their soul abhorred My statutes.

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 are in the land of their enemies, I will not reject them, neither will I abhor them, to destroy them utterly, and to break 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!”

But I will for their sakes remember the covenant of their ancestors, whom I brought forth out of the land of Egypt in the sight of the nations, that I might 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 statutes and ordinances and laws, which the LORD made between Him and the children of Israel in mount Sinai by the hand of Moses.
