Deuteronomy 12
1 These are the statutes and ordinances you must be careful to follow all the days you live in the land that the LORD, the God of your fathers, has given you to possess.
Wọ̀nyí ni àwọn ìlànà àti òfin tí ẹ gbọdọ̀ ṣọ́ra láti máa tẹ̀lé, ní ilẹ̀ tí Olúwa Ọlọ́run àwọn baba yín, fi fún un yín láti gbà: ní gbogbo ìgbà tí ẹ bá fi wà lórí ilẹ̀ náà.
2 Destroy completely all the places where the nations you are dispossessing have served their gods—atop the high mountains, on the hills, and under every green tree.
Gbogbo ibi gíga àwọn òkè ńlá, àti òkè kéékèèké àti lábẹ́ gbogbo igi tí ń gbilẹ̀ níbi tí àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè tí ẹ ó lé jáde, tí ń sin òrìṣà wọn ní kí ẹ mú kúrò pátápátá.
3 Tear down their altars, smash their sacred pillars, burn up their Asherah poles, cut down the idols of their gods, and wipe out their names from every place.
Ẹ wó àwọn pẹpẹ wọn, ẹ bi òpó ìsìn wọn ṣubú, kí ẹ sì sun òpó Aṣerah wọn ní iná. Ẹ gé gbogbo ère òrìṣà wọn lulẹ̀, kí ẹ sì pa orúkọ wọn rẹ́ ní gbogbo ààyè wọn.
4 You shall not worship the LORD your God in this way.
Ẹ kò gbọdọ̀ sin Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín bí i tiwọn.
5 Instead, you must seek the place the LORD your God will choose from among all your tribes to establish as a dwelling for His Name, and there you must go.
Ṣùgbọ́n ẹ wá ibi tí Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín yóò yàn láàrín àwọn ẹ̀yà yín, láti fi orúkọ rẹ̀ síbẹ̀ bí i ibùgbé rẹ̀. Ibẹ̀ ni kí ẹ lọ.
6 To that place you are to bring your burnt offerings and sacrifices, your tithes and heave offerings, your vow offerings and freewill offerings, as well as the firstborn of your herds and flocks.
Níbẹ̀ ni kí ẹ mú ẹbọ sísun àti ẹbọ yín wá, ìdámẹ́wàá yín àti ọrẹ àkànṣe, àwọn ẹ̀jẹ́ yín, ọrẹ àtinúwá yín, àti àwọn àkọ́bí gbogbo màlúù yín àti ewúrẹ́ ẹ yín.
7 There, in the presence of the LORD your God, you and your households shall eat and rejoice in all you do, because the LORD your God has blessed you.
Níwájú Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín níbẹ̀, kí ẹ̀yin àti ìdílé yín jẹun kí ẹ sì yó, nínú gbogbo ìdáwọ́lé e yín, torí pé Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín ti bùkún un yín.
8 You are not to do as we are doing here today, where everyone does what seems right in his own eyes.
Kí ẹ̀yin kí ó má ṣe ṣe gẹ́gẹ́ bí a tí ṣe níhìn-ín lónìí yìí, tí olúkúlùkù ń ṣe ohun tí ó tọ́ ní ojú ara rẹ̀.
9 For you have not yet come to the resting place and the inheritance that the LORD your God is giving you.
Níwọ́n ìgbà tí ẹ ti dé ibi ìsinmi, àti ibi ogún tí Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín fún un yín.
10 When you cross the Jordan and live in the land that the LORD your God is giving you as an inheritance, and He gives you rest from all the enemies around you and you dwell securely,
Ṣùgbọ́n ẹ ó la Jordani kọjá, ẹ ó sì máa gbé ní ilẹ̀ tí Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín fún un yín bí ìní, yóò sì fún un yín ní ìsinmi, kúrò láàrín àwọn ọ̀tá a yín, tí ó yí i yín ká, kí ẹ ba à lè máa gbé láìléwu.
11 then the LORD your God will choose a dwelling for His Name. And there you are to bring everything I command you: your burnt offerings and sacrifices, your tithes and special gifts, and all the choice offerings you vow to the LORD.
Níbi tí Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín yóò yàn bí ibùgbé fún orúkọ rẹ̀. Níbẹ̀ ni kí ẹ mú gbogbo ohun tí mo pàṣẹ fún un yín wá: àwọn ọrẹ ẹ yín àti àwọn ẹbọ sísun, ìdámẹ́wàá yín àti ọrẹ àkànṣe, àti gbogbo ohun ìní yín tí ẹ ti yàn, èyí tí ẹ ti jẹ́ ẹ̀jẹ́ fún Olúwa.
12 And you shall rejoice before the LORD your God—you, your sons and daughters, your menservants and maidservants, and the Levite within your gates, since he has no portion or inheritance among you.
Kí ẹ máa yọ̀ níwájú Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín níbẹ̀, ẹ̀yin, àwọn ọmọkùnrin yín, àwọn ọmọbìnrin yín, ìránṣẹ́bìnrin àti ìránṣẹ́kùnrin yín, àti àwọn Lefi láti ìlú u yín, tí wọn kò ní ìpín tàbí ogún tiwọn.
13 Be careful not to offer your burnt offerings in just any place you see;
Ẹ ṣọ́ra kí ẹ má ṣe rú ẹbọ sísun yín ní ibikíbi tí ẹ̀yin fẹ́.
14 you must offer them only in the place the LORD will choose in one of your tribal territories, and there you shall do all that I command you.
Ibi tí Olúwa yóò yàn láàrín àwọn ẹ̀yà a yín nìkan ni kí ẹ ti máa rú ẹbọ sísun yín, kí ẹ sì máa kíyèsi ohun gbogbo tí mo pàṣẹ fún un yín níbẹ̀.
15 But whenever you want, you may slaughter and eat meat within any of your gates, according to the blessing the LORD your God has given you. Both the ceremonially clean and unclean may eat it as they would a gazelle or deer,
Síbẹ̀síbẹ̀, ẹ lọ pa àwọn ẹran yín ní èyíkéyìí nínú àwọn ìlú u yín, kí ẹ sì jẹ ẹran náà tó bí ẹ ti fẹ́, bí ẹ ti ń ṣe sí àgbọ̀nrín àti èsúró, gẹ́gẹ́ bí ìbùkún Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín tí ó fi fún un yín, àti ẹni mímọ́ àti aláìmọ́ ni ó lè jẹ nínú àwọn ẹran náà.
16 but you must not eat the blood; pour it on the ground like water.
Ṣùgbọ́n ẹ kò gbọdọ̀ jẹ ẹ̀jẹ̀ wọn, ẹ dà á sílẹ̀ bí omi.
17 Within your gates you must not eat the tithe of your grain or new wine or oil, the firstborn of your herds or flocks, any of the offerings that you have vowed to give, or your freewill offerings or special gifts.
Ẹ kò gbọdọ̀ jẹ ìdámẹ́wàá oúnjẹ yín, wáìnì tuntun, òróró, àkọ́bí àwọn màlúù yín, tàbí ti ewúrẹ́ ẹ yín, ohunkóhun tí ó jẹ́ ẹ̀jẹ́, ọrẹ àtinúwá, tàbí ẹ̀bùn pàtàkì ní ìlú ẹ̀yin tìkára yín.
18 Instead, you must eat them in the presence of the LORD your God at the place the LORD your God will choose—you, your sons and daughters, your menservants and maidservants, and the Levite within your gates. Rejoice before the LORD your God in all you do,
Bí kò ṣe kí ẹ jẹ ẹ́ níwájú Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín, níbi tí Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín, yóò yàn: ìwọ, àwọn ọmọkùnrin rẹ, àwọn ọmọbìnrin rẹ, àwọn ìránṣẹ́kùnrin àti ìránṣẹ́bìnrin rẹ àti àwọn ọmọ Lefi láti ìlú u yín, kí ẹ sì máa yọ̀ níwájú Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín, nínú gbogbo ìdáwọ́lé e yín.
19 and be careful not to neglect the Levites as long as you live in your land.
Ẹ ṣọ́ra kí ẹ má ṣe gbàgbé àwọn Lefi, ní gbogbo ìgbà tí ẹ bá ń gbé ní ilẹ̀ ẹ yín.
20 When the LORD your God expands your territory as He has promised, and you crave meat and say, “I want to eat meat,” you may eat it whenever you want.
Bí Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín bá ti fẹ́ agbègbè e yín bí ó ti ṣe ìlérí, fún un yín, tí ẹ sì wí pé, àwa yóò jẹ ẹran, nítorí tí ọkàn wa fẹ́ jẹran. Ẹ jẹ ẹran náà bí ẹ tí fẹ́.
21 If the place where the LORD your God chooses to put His Name is too far from you, then you may slaughter any of the herd or flock He has given you, as I have commanded you, and you may eat it within your gates whenever you want.
Bí ibi tí Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín bá yàn fún orúkọ rẹ̀ bá jìnnà sí i yín, kí ẹ pa màlúù tàbí ewúrẹ́ tí Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín tí fún un yín, bí mo ti pàṣẹ fún un yín ní ìlú u yín, ẹ lè jẹ ẹ́ bí ẹ ti fẹ́.
22 Indeed, you may eat it as you would eat a gazelle or deer; both the ceremonially unclean and the clean may eat it.
Ẹ jẹ wọ́n bí ẹ ó ti jẹ èsúró tàbí àgbọ̀nrín, ẹni tí a kà sí mímọ́ àti aláìmọ́ ni ó lè jẹ ẹ́.
23 Only be sure not to eat the blood, because the blood is the life, and you must not eat the life with the meat.
Ṣùgbọ́n ẹ rí i dájú pé ẹ kò jẹ ẹ̀jẹ̀ wọn, nítorí pé ẹ̀jẹ̀ ni ẹ̀mí, ẹ kò sì gbọdọ̀ jẹ ẹ̀mí pọ̀ mọ́ ẹran.
24 You must not eat the blood; pour it on the ground like water.
Ẹ kò gbọdọ̀ jẹ ẹ̀jẹ̀, ẹ dà á sílẹ̀ bí omi.
25 Do not eat it, so that it may go well with you and your children after you, because you will be doing what is right in the eyes of the LORD.
Ẹ má ṣe jẹ ẹ́, kí ó bá à lè dára fún ẹ̀yin àti àwọn ọmọ yín, tí ń bọ̀ lẹ́yìn in yín. Nígbà yí ní ẹ tó ń ṣe ohun tí ó tọ̀nà lójú Olúwa.
26 But you are to take your holy things and your vow offerings and go to the place the LORD will choose.
Ẹ mú àwọn ohun tí ẹ yà sọ́tọ̀ àti àwọn ẹ̀jẹ́ yín, kí ẹ sì lọ sí ibi tí Olúwa yóò yàn.
27 Present the meat and blood of your burnt offerings on the altar of the LORD your God. The blood of your other sacrifices must be poured out beside the altar of the LORD your God, but you may eat the meat.
Ẹ fi ẹbọ sísun yín kalẹ̀ lórí i pẹpẹ Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín, àti ẹran àti ẹ̀jẹ̀ rẹ̀. Ẹ̀jẹ̀ ọrẹ yín ni ki ẹ dà sí pẹpẹ Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín, ṣùgbọ́n ẹ lè jẹ ẹran.
28 Be careful to obey all these things I command you, so that it may always go well with you and your children after you, because you will be doing what is good and right in the eyes of the LORD your God.
Ẹ kíyèsára láti máa gbọ́rọ̀ sí gbogbo ìlànà tí mò ń fún un yín, kí o bá à dára fún ẹ̀yin àti àwọn ọmọ yín nígbà gbogbo, nítorí pé nígbà náà ní ẹ tó ń ṣe ohun tí ó dára tí ó sì tọ̀nà níwájú Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín.
29 When the LORD your God cuts off before you the nations you are entering to dispossess, and you drive them out and live in their land,
Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín yóò gé àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè tí ẹ fẹ́ lé kúrò tí ẹ sì fẹ́ gba ilẹ̀ wọn kúrò níwájú u yín. Ṣùgbọ́n nígbà tí ẹ bá ti lé wọn jáde tí ẹ sì ń gbé ilẹ̀ wọn.
30 be careful not to be ensnared by their ways after they have been destroyed before you. Do not inquire about their gods, asking, “How do these nations serve their gods? I will do likewise.”
Lẹ́yìn ìgbà tí a bá ti pa wọ́n run níwájú u yín, ẹ ṣọ́ra kí ẹ má ba à bọ́ sínú àdánwò nípa bíbéèrè nípa àwọn òrìṣà wọn wí pé, “Báwo ni àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè yìí ṣe ń sin àwọn òrìṣà wọn? Àwa náà yóò ṣe bẹ́ẹ̀”.
31 You must not worship the LORD your God in this way, because they practice for their gods every abomination which the LORD hates. They even burn their sons and daughters in the fire as sacrifices to their gods.
Ẹ kò gbọdọ̀ sin Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín bí àwọn, torí pé, nípa sínsin ọlọ́run wọn, wọ́n ń ṣe ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ ohun ìríra tí Ọlọ́run kórìíra. Wọ́n ń dáná sun àwọn ọmọkùnrin àti àwọn ọmọbìnrin wọn láti fi rú ẹbọ sí ère òrìṣà wọn.
32 See that you do everything I command you; do not add to it or subtract from it.
Ẹ rí i pé ẹ̀ ń ṣe gbogbo ohun tí mo ti pàṣẹ fún un yín. Ẹ má ṣe fi kún un, ẹ má sì ṣe yọ kúrò níbẹ̀.
