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 not make yourselves any idols, and a graven image, or a standing image shall ye not rear up unto you, and any carved stone shall you not place in your land, to bow down upon it; for I am the Eternal your God.

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

My sabbaths shall ye keep, and my sanctuary shall ye reverence: I am the Lord.

3 “‘Ne miewɔ nye seawo katã dzi la,

If in my statutes ye walk, and if my commandments ye keep, and do them:

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

Then will I give you rains in their due season, and the earth shall yield her products, and the tree of the field shall yield its 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 the threshing shall reach with you unto the vintage, and the vintage shall reach unto sowing-time; and ye shall eat your bread to the full, and ye shall dwell in safety in your land.

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, with none to make you afraid; and I will remove evil beasts out of the land, and the sword shall not pass 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 turn myself unto you, and make you fruitful, and multiply you; 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!

And ye shall eat very old store, and the old shall ye remove away because of the new.

11 Manɔ mia dome; mianye ŋunyɔnu nam o.

And I will set my dwelling among you; and my soul shall not loath you.

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

And I will walk among you, and I will be to you a God, and ye shall be to me a 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 Eternal your God, who have brought you forth out of the land of Egypt, that ye should not be their bond-men; and I have broken the bands of your yoke, and caused you to walk 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 my statutes ye despise, and if my ordinances your soul loath, so as not to do all my commandments, in that ye 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.

Then will I also do this unto you, and I will inflict on you terror, consumption, and the burning ague, that consume the eyes, and cause sorrow of heart; and ye shall sow in vain your seed, 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 struck down before your enemies: and they that hate you shall bear rule over you; and ye shall flee while there is no one pursuing you.

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

And if with these things even ye will not yet hearken unto me: then will I chastise you yet more, sevenfold 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 copper:

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

And in vain shall your strength be spent; for your land shall not yield her products, and the tree of the land shall not yield its 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 yet contrary unto me, and if you refuse to hearken unto me: then will I bring more plagues upon you, sevenfold 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 out against you the beasts of the field, which shall rob you of your children, and destroy your cattle, and diminish yourselves; so that your roads shall 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 notwithstanding these things ye will not be reformed by me, and 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 also will punish you, sevenfold 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 over you the sword, avenging the quarrel of my covenant, so that ye shall be gathered together within your cities; and then will I send the pestilence among you, that ye shall deliver yourselves 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 unto you the staff of bread; and 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 notwithstanding this ye will not 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 will I also walk contrary unto you in fury; and I, even I, will chastise you, sevenfold 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-images, and cast your carcasses upon the carcasses of your idols; and my soul shall loath you.

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

And I will render your cities a waste, and I will make desolate your sanctuaries, and I will not smell the savor of your sweet odors.

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 surely make desolate the land: and your enemies who 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 after you the sword; and your land shall be a desolate wild, 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 satisfy its sabbaths, all the days of its desolation, when ye are in the land of your enemies: then shall the land rest, and satisfy its sabbaths.

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

All the days of its desolation shall it rest, the time which it did not rest 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 regarding those that are left of you, I will send a faintness into their hearts in the lands of their enemies; and the sound of a leaf shaken shall chase them; and they shall flee, as fleeing from the sword; and they shall fall with none pursuing.

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 over the other, as before the sword, without one pursuing: and ye shall have no power to stand up before your enemies.

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

And ye shall be lost among the nations, and the land of your enemies 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 they that are left of you shall pine away in their iniquity in the land of your enemies; and also through 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 then confess their iniquity, and the iniquity of their fathers, [that] through their trespass which they trespassed against me, and also that [because] they had 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 had to walk contrary unto them, and to bring them into the land of their enemies; and then shall their uncircumcised heart be humbled, and then shall they satisfy 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,

And I will then remember my covenant with Jacob, and also my covenant with Isaac, and also my covenant with Abraham will I remember; and the land will I remember.

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 be forsaken by them, and shall satisfy its sabbaths, while it lieth desolate without them, and they shall satisfy their iniquity; because, even because my ordinances they despised, and my statutes their soul loathed.

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, though they be in the land of their enemies, will I not cast them away, neither will I loath them, to destroy them utterly, 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 remember for their sakes the covenant of their ancestors, whom I brought forth out of the land of Egypt before the eyes of the nations, that I might be unto them a 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 on mount Sinai, by the hand of Moses.
