Deuteronomy 30

1 “Now when all these things will have fallen over you, the blessing or the curse that I have set forth in your sight, and you will have been led to repentance in your heart among all the nations to which the Lord your God will have dispersed you,

“Ne nu siawo katã, yayra kple fiƒode siwo mexlẽ na mi va mia dzi, miebu wo ŋuti esi miele dukɔ siwo me Yehowa, miaƒe Mawu la nya mi ɖo ɖa la dome,

2 and when you will have returned to him, so as to obey his commandments, just as I have instructed you this day, with your sons, with your whole heart and with your whole soul,

eye mi kple mia viwo mietrɔ ɖe Yehowa miaƒe Mawu ŋu, hede asi eƒe se siwo katã mede na mi egbe la dzi wɔwɔ me kple dzi blibo kple luʋɔ blibo la,

3 then the Lord your God will lead you away from your captivity, and he will take pity on you, and he will gather you again from all the nations to which he had dispersed you before.

ekema Yehowa, miaƒe Mawu la aɖe mi tso aboyome, ave mia nu, eye wòaƒo mia nu ƒu tso dukɔ siwo katã dome wòakaka mi ɖo la me.

4 Even if you will have been scattered as far as the poles of the heavens, the Lord your God will retrieve you from there.

Togbɔ be mianɔ anyigba ƒe mlɔenu ke hã la, ayi aɖadi mi, eye wòagakplɔ mi va

5 And he will take you up and lead you into the land which your fathers had possessed, and you shall obtain it. And in blessing you, he will make you greater in number than your fathers ever were.

mia tɔgbuiwo ƒe anyigba dzi. Anyigba la agazu mia tɔ. Yehowa miaƒe Mawu agawɔ nyui na mi, eye wòagayra mi wu ale si wòyra mia tɔgbuiwo kpɔ gɔ̃ hã.

6 The Lord your God will circumcise your heart, and the heart of your offspring, so that you may love the Lord your God with your entire heart and with your entire soul, so that you may be able to live.

Yehowa, miaƒe Mawu la akɔ mi kple mia viwo kple miaƒe tɔgbuiyɔviwo ƒe dziwo ŋuti, ale be miagalɔ̃e kple miaƒe dzi blibo kple luʋɔ blibo, eye Israel agagbɔ agbe.

7 And he will turn all these curses upon your enemies, and upon those who hate and persecute you.

Yehowa, miaƒe Mawu la aɖe eƒe fiƒodewo katã ɖa le mia dzi, eye wòatrɔ wo akɔ ɖe ame siwo léa fu mi, eye wotia mia yome la dzi.

8 But you shall return, and you shall listen to the voice of the Lord your God. And you shall carry out all the commandments which I am entrusting to you this day.

Ke miawo la, ele na mi be miatrɔ va Yehowa gbɔ, eye miawɔ eƒe se siwo katã mede na mi egbe la dzi.

9 And the Lord your God will cause you to abound in all the works of your hands, in the progeny of your womb, and in the fruit of your cattle, in the fertility of your land, and with an abundance of all things. For the Lord will return, so that he may rejoice over you in all good things, just as he rejoiced in your fathers:

Yehowa miaƒe Mawu ana nu sia nu si miawɔ la nadze edzi na mi, eye wòana mia viwo, miaƒe lãwo kple miaƒe agblemenukuwo nasɔ gbɔ fũu, elabena Yehowa agakpɔ dzidzɔ le mia ŋu, abe ale si wòkpɔe le mia tɔgbuiwo ŋu ene.

10 but only if you will listen to the voice of the Lord your God, and keep his precepts and ceremonies, which have been written in this law, and only if you return to the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul.

Yehowa akpɔ dzidzɔ ne miawɔ se siwo katã woŋlɔ ɖe Segbalẽ sia me la dzi, eye miatrɔ ɖe Yehowa, miaƒe Mawu la ŋu kple miaƒe dzi blibo kple miaƒe luʋɔ blibo ko.”

11 This commandment, which I entrust to you today, is not high above you, nor has it been placed far away.

“Menye ɖe se siwo dem mele na mi egbea la dzi wɔwɔ mele miaƒe ŋutete me o,

12 Nor is it in heaven, so that you would be able to say, ‘Which of us can ascend to heaven, so as to carry it back to us, and so that we may hear it and fulfill it in deed?’

elabena se siawo mele dziƒo ʋĩi ale gbegbe be miagblɔ be, ‘Ame kae ayi dziƒo’ atsɔ wo vɛ na mí, be míase eye miawɔ wo dzi o.

13 Nor is it beyond the sea, so that you would excuse yourself by saying, ‘Which of us is able to cross the sea, and to carry it back to us, so that we may be able to hear and to do what has been instructed?’

Menye ɖe wole atsiaƒu la godo, eye wodidi tso mia gbɔ ale gbegbe be ame aɖeke mate ŋu agblɔ wo me nyawo na mi o.

14 Instead, the word is near to you, in your mouth and in your heart, so that you may do it.

Ke boŋ wote ɖe mia ŋu kpokploe, wole miaƒe dzi me kple miaƒe nu me, ale be miate ŋu awɔ wo dzi.

15 Consider what I have set forth in your sight this day, life and good, or, on the opposite side, death and evil,

“Kpɔ ɖa, metsɔ agbe kple dzɔgbenyui, ku kple dzɔgbevɔ̃e da ɖe mia ŋkume egbea. Nu siawo ku ɖe miaƒe seawo dzi wɔwɔ kple wo dzi mawɔmawɔ ŋu.

16 so that you may love the Lord your God, and walk in his ways, and keep his commandments and ceremonies and judgments, and so that you may live, and he may multiply you and bless you in the land, which you shall enter in order to possess.

Mede se na mi egbea be mialɔ̃ Yehowa, miaƒe Mawu la, miazɔ le eƒe mɔwo dzi, eye mialé eƒe sewo me ɖe asi, ale be mianɔ agbe, eye miazu dukɔ gã aɖe, ekema Yehowa ayra mi le anyigba si le mia tɔ zu ge la dzi.

17 But if your heart will have been turned aside, so that you are not willing to listen, and, having been deceived by error, you adore strange gods and serve them,

Ke ne miaƒe dzi ato mɔ bubu, miawɔ nye seawo dzi o, ne woakplɔ mi atra mɔe, eye miasubɔ mawu bubuwo la,

18 then I predict to you this day that you will perish, and you will remain for only a short time in the land, for which you shall cross the Jordan, and which you shall enter in order to possess.

ekema mele kpe ɖom edzi na mi be miatsrɔ̃ kokoko. Mianɔ agbe wòadidi, eye wòanyo na mi le anyigba si xɔ ge miala la dzi o.

19 I call heaven and earth as witnesses this day, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and curse. Therefore, choose life, so that both you and your offspring may live,

“Meyɔ dziƒo kple anyigba abe ɖasefowo ene ɖe mia ŋu be egbe la, metsɔ agbe kple ku, yayra kple fiƒode le mia ŋkume ɖom, eya ta anyo be miatia agbe ale be miawo kple mia viwo siaa mianɔ agbe!

20 and so that you may love the Lord your God, and obey his voice, and cling to him, (for he is your life and the length of your days) and so that you may live in the land, about which the Lord swore to your fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, that he would give it to them.”

Mitia be mialɔ̃ Yehowa, miaƒe Mawu la. Miaɖo toe, eye miaku ɖe eŋu, elabena eyae nye miaƒe agbe kple miaƒe agbemeŋkekewo ƒe agbɔsɔsɔ. Ekema miate ŋu anɔ dedie le anyigba si Yehowa do ŋugbe be yeatsɔ na mia tɔgbuiwo, Abraham, Isak kple Yakob la dzi.”
