Mose 5 11

1 “Ele be nàlɔ̃ Yehowa, wò Mawu la, eye nàwɔ eƒe sewo katã dzi.

'And thou hast loved Jehovah thy God, and kept His charge, and His statutes, and His judgments, and His commands, all the days;

2 Miɖo to! Nyemele nu ƒom fifia na mia viwo, ame siwo mekpɔ eƒe tohehe na Egiptetɔwo alo eƒe gãnyenye kple ŋusẽ teƒe kpɔ o.

and ye have known to-day — for it is not your sons who have not known, and who have not seen the chastisement of Jehovah your God, His greatness, His strong hand, and His stretched-out arm,

3 Womenɔ afi ma kpɔ nukunu siwo wòwɔ le Egipte ɖe Farao kple eƒe anyigba blibo la ŋu o.

and His signs, and His doings, which He hath done in the midst of Egypt, to Pharaoh king of Egypt, and to all his land;

4 Womekpɔ nu si Mawu wɔ Egiptetɔwo ƒe aʋakɔwo, woƒe sɔwo kple tasiaɖamwo, ale si wònyrɔ wo ɖe Ƒu Dzĩ la me esi wodze mia yome kple ale si Yehowa na woƒe ŋusẽ ɖe mia ŋu nu ku va se ɖe egbeŋkeke sia dzi o!

and that which He hath done to the force of Egypt, to its horses, and to its chariot, when He hath caused the waters of the Red Sea to flow against their faces in their pursuing after them, and Jehovah destroyeth them, unto this day;

5 Womekpɔ ale si Yehowa kpɔ mia dzi ɣe sia ɣi le ƒe siwo katã me mienɔ tsaglalã tsam le gbedzi va se ɖe esime mieɖo afi sia o.

and that which He hath done to you in the wilderness, till your coming in unto this place;

6 Womenɔ afi ma esime Datan kple Abiram, Eliab ƒe viŋutsuwo kple Ruben ƒe dzidzimeviwo wɔ nu vɔ̃, eye anyigba ke nu mi wo, woƒe aƒemetɔwo, agbadɔwo kple woƒe nuwo katã le Israelviwo katã ŋkume o!

and that which He hath done to Dathan, and to Abiram, sons of Eliab, sons of Reuben, when the earth hath opened her mouth and swalloweth them, and their houses, and their tents, and all that liveth, which is at their feet, in the midst of all Israel:

7 “Ke miawo la, miekpɔ Yehowa ƒe nukunu gã siawo teƒe,

' — But [it is] your eyes which are seeing all the great work of Jehovah, which He hath done;

8 eya ta wòle be miawɔ se siwo mele mia nam egbe la dzi pɛpɛpɛ ale be miate ŋu akpɔ ŋusẽ be miayi anyigba si dzi miele gege ge ɖo fifia, eye miaxɔe.

and ye have kept all the command which I am commanding thee to-day, so that ye are strong, and have gone in, and possessed the land whither ye are passing over to possess it,

9 Ne miewɔ seawo dzi la, mianɔ agbe didi, eye wòadze edzi na mi le anyigba si ŋugbe Yehowa do na mia fofowo kple miawo kple miaƒe dzidzimeviwo la dzi. Anyigba la nye anyigba wɔnuku aɖe si dzi ‘notsi kple anyitsi bɔ ɖo!’

and so that ye prolong days on the ground which Jehovah hath sworn to your fathers to give to them and to their seed — a land flowing with milk and honey.

10 Anyigba si dzi miage ɖo, eye miaxɔ la, mele abe Egiptenyigba, afi si mietso, afi si wòhiã le be miadze tɔʋu suewo ɖe miaƒe agblewo me, ana tsi nato wo me hena miaƒe agblemenukuwo ƒe wɔwɔ ene o.

'For the land whither thou art going in to possess it, is not as the land of Egypt whence ye have come out, where thou sowest thy seed, and hast watered with thy foot, as a garden of the green herb;

11 Anyigba nyui aɖe si dzi towo kple balimewo le, eye tsi dzana le nyuie la wònye,

but the land whither ye are passing over to possess it, [is] a land of hills and valleys; of the rain of the heavens it drinketh water;

12 anyigba si Yehowa, miaƒe Mawu la ŋutɔ léa be na, eye eƒe ŋku le anyigba la ŋu ɣe sia ɣi tso ŋkeke yi ŋkeke le ƒe blibo la me!

a land which Jehovah thy God is searching; continually [are] the eyes of Jehovah thy God upon it, from the beginning of the year even unto the latter end of the year.

13 “Ne miawɔ ɖe Yehowa ƒe se siwo katã mele mia na ge egbe la dzi pɛpɛpɛ, eye ne mialɔ̃ Yehowa, miaƒe Mawu la kple miaƒe dzi blibo kple miaƒe luʋɔ blibo, eye miasubɔe la,

'And it hath been — if thou hearken diligently unto My commands which I am commanding you to-day, to love Jehovah your God, and to serve Him with all your heart, and with all your soul —

14 ekema agana adametsi kple kelemetsi nadza na mi ale be miate ŋu akpɔ bli fũu kple waintsetse geɖewo kple ami sɔ gbɔ.

that I have given the rain of your land in its season — sprinkling and gathered — and thou hast gathered thy corn, and thy new wine, and thine oil,

15 Ana lãnyiƒe damawo mi hena miaƒe lãwo, eye miawo ŋutɔ miakpɔ nu aɖu, aɖi ƒo nyuie.

and I have given herbs in thy field for thy cattle, and thou hast eaten, and been satisfied.

16 “Ke mikpɔ nyuie be miaƒe dzi nagatrɔ le Yehowa yome be miasubɔ mawu bubuwo o.

'Take heed to yourselves, lest your heart be enticed, and ye have turned aside, and served other gods, and bowed yourselves to them,

17 Ne miesubɔ mawu bubuwo la, Yehowa ƒe dɔmedzoe abi ɖe mia ŋu, eye wòatu dziƒo nu ale be tsi magadza o, eye agblemenukuwo mawɔ o. Ekema miatsrɔ̃ enumake le anyigba nyui si Yehowa na mi la dzi,

and the anger of Jehovah hath burned against you, and He hath restrained the heavens, and there is no rain, and the ground doth not give her increase, and ye have perished hastily from off the good land which Jehovah is giving to you.

18 eya ta milé se siawo ɖe ta me. Mibla wo ɖe miaƒe asiwo ŋu ale be woanɔ ŋku dzi na mi, eye miawɔ wo dzi. Mibla wo ɖe miaƒe ŋgonu le miaƒe ŋkuwo dome.

'And ye have placed these my words on your heart, and on your soul, and have bound them for a sign on your hand, and they have been for frontlets between your eyes;

19 Mifia wo mia viwo; miƒo nu na wo tso wo ŋu ne miele aƒe me, ne miele tsa ɖim, le anyimlɔɣi kple do ŋgɔ na ŋdinuɖuɖu!

and ye have taught them to your sons, by speaking of them in thy sitting in thy house, and in thy going in the way, and in thy lying down, and in thy rising up,

20 Miŋlɔ wo ɖe miaƒe ʋɔtrutiwo ŋu le miaƒe aƒewo me kple miaƒe agbowo ŋu,

and hast written them on the side-posts of thy house, and on thy gates,

21 ale be zi ale si dziŋgɔli anɔ anyi le mia tame ko la, mi kple mia viwo miakpɔ gome le agbe vivi si le mia lalam le anyigba si ŋugbe Yehowa do na mia fofowo la dzi.

so that your days are multiplied, and the days of your sons, on the ground which Jehovah hath sworn to your fathers to give to them, as the days of the heavens on the earth.

22 “Ne miewɔ ɖe se siwo katã mede na mi dzi pɛpɛpɛ, ne mielɔ̃ Yehowa, miaƒe Mawu la, ne miezɔ ɖe eƒe ɖoɖowo katã dzi, eye mielé ɖe eŋu la,

'For, if ye diligently keep all this command which I am commanding you — to do it, to love Jehovah your God, to walk in all His ways, and to cleave to Him,

23 ekema Yehowa anya dukɔwo katã ɖa le mia ŋgɔ, aleke gbegbe woasɔ gbɔ wu mi, eye woasẽ wu mi hã!

then hath Jehovah dispossessed all these nations from before you, and ye have possessed nations, greater and mightier than you;

24 Afi sia afi si miaɖo afɔe la, anyigba la anye mia tɔ. Miaƒe liƒowo akeke tso Negeb ƒe anyigbeme ayi Lebanon, agatso Frat tɔsisi la ŋu, ayi Domeƒu la ŋu.

every place on which the sole of your foot treadeth is yours; from the wilderness, and Lebanon, from the river, the river Phrat, even unto the farther sea is your border;

25 Ame aɖeke mate ŋu anɔ te ɖe mia nu o, elabena Yehowa, miaƒe Mawu la ade vɔvɔ̃ ameawo me ɖe mia ŋu do ŋgɔ na mi, afi sia afi si miayi abe ale si wòdo ŋugbe na mi ene tututu.

no man doth station himself in your presence; your dread and your fear doth Jehovah your God put on the face of all the land on which ye tread, as He hath spoken to you.

26 “Kpɔ ɖa, metsɔ yayra kple fiƒode le mia ŋkume ɖom egbea be miatia.

'See, I am setting before you to-day a blessing and a reviling:

27 Miaxɔ yayra ne miewɔ Yehowa, miaƒe Mawu la ƒe se siwo metsɔ le mia nam egbe la dzi,

the blessing, when ye hearken unto the commands of Jehovah your God, which I am commanding you to-day;

28 ke fiƒode ava mia dzi ne miegbe seawo dzi wɔwɔ, eye miesubɔ dukɔ bubu siawo ƒe mawuwo.

and the reviling, if ye do not hearken unto the commands of Jehovah your God, and have turned aside out of the way which I am commanding you to-day, to go after other gods which ye have not known.

29 Ne Yehowa, miaƒe Mawu la kplɔ mi yi anyigba la dzi be miaxɔe la, ekema woaɖe gbeƒã yayra le Gerizim to dzi, eye woaɖe gbeƒã fiƒode le Ebal to dzi!

'And it hath been, when Jehovah thy God doth bring thee in unto the land whither thou art going in to possess it, that thou hast given the blessing on mount Gerizim, and the reviling on mount Ebal;

30 Gerizim kple Ebal wonye towo le Yɔdan tɔsisi la ƒe ɣetoɖoƒe lɔƒo, afi si Kanaantɔwo le, le gbegbe si te ɖe Gilgal ŋu, afi si More ƒe ati gãwo le.

are they not beyond the Jordan, behind the way of the going in of the sun, in the land of the Canaanite, who is dwelling in the plain over-against Gilgal, near the oaks of Moreh?

31 Mitso Yɔdan tɔsisi la, eye mianɔ anyigba si Yehowa, miaƒe Mawu le mia nam la dzi.

for ye are passing over the Jordan to go in to possess the land which Jehovah your God is giving to you; and ye have possessed it, and dwelt in it,

32 Ke ele na mi be miawɔ ɖe se siwo katã mele mia nam egbea la dzi.”

and observed to do all the statutes and the judgments which I am setting before you to day.
