Deuteronomy 9
1 Hear, O Israel: Today you are about to cross the Jordan to go in and dispossess nations greater and stronger than you, with large cities fortified to the heavens.
Gbọ́, ìwọ Israẹli. Báyìí, ẹ̀yin ti gbáradì láti la Jordani kọjá, láti lọ gba ilẹ̀ àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè tí wọ́n tóbi, tí wọ́n sì lágbára jù yín lọ, tí wọ́n ní àwọn ìlú ńlá ńlá, tí odi wọn kan ọ̀run.
2 The people are strong and tall, the descendants of the Anakim. You know about them, and you have heard it said, “Who can stand up to the sons of Anak?”
Àwọn ènìyàn náà lágbára wọ́n sì ga àní àwọn ọmọ Anaki ni wọ́n. Ẹ gbọ́ nípa wọn, ẹ sì gbọ́ tí àwọn ènìyàn ń sọ nípa wọn pé, “Ta ni ó le è dojú ìjà kọ àwọn ọmọ Anaki (òmíràn)?”
3 But understand that today the LORD your God goes across ahead of you as a consuming fire; He will destroy them and subdue them before you. And you will drive them out and annihilate them swiftly, as the LORD has promised you.
Ṣùgbọ́n kí ó dá a yín lójú lónìí pé Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín ni ó ń ṣáájú u yín lọ gẹ́gẹ́ bí iná ajónirun. Yóò jó wọn run, yóò sì tẹ orí wọn ba níwájú yín. Ẹ̀yin yóò sì lé wọ́n jáde, ẹ̀yin yóò sì run wọ́n kíákíá, bí Olúwa ti ṣèlérí fún un yín.
4 When the LORD your God has driven them out before you, do not say in your heart, “Because of my righteousness the LORD has brought me in to possess this land.” Rather, the LORD is driving out these nations before you because of their wickedness.
Lẹ́yìn tí Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín bá ti lé wọn jáde níwájú u yín, ẹ má ṣe wí fún ara yín pé, “Torí òdodo mi ní Olúwa ṣe mú mi wá síbí láti gba ilẹ̀ náà.” Rárá, ṣùgbọ́n nítorí ìwà búburú àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè wọ̀nyí ni Olúwa yóò ṣe lé wọn jáde níwájú u yín.
5 It is not because of your righteousness or uprightness of heart that you are going in to possess their land, but it is because of their wickedness that the LORD your God is driving out these nations before you, to keep the promise He swore to your fathers, to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
Kì í ṣe nítorí òdodo yín, tàbí ìdúró ṣinṣin ni ẹ ó fi wọ ìlú wọn lọ láti gba ilẹ̀ wọn, ṣùgbọ́n nítorí ìwà búburú àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè wọ̀nyí ni Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín yóò fi lé wọn jáde kúrò níwájú u yín láti lè mú ohun tí ó búra fún àwọn baba ṣẹ: fún Abrahamu, Isaaki àti Jakọbu.
6 Understand, then, that it is not because of your righteousness that the LORD your God is giving you this good land to possess, for you are a stiff-necked people.
Ṣùgbọ́n kí ó yé yín pé kì í ṣe nítorí òdodo yín ni Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín fi ń fún un yín ní ilẹ̀ rere náà, láti ní, nítorí pé ènìyàn ọlọ́rùn líle ni ẹ jẹ́.
7 Remember this, and never forget how you provoked the LORD your God in the wilderness. From the day you left the land of Egypt until you reached this place, you have been rebelling against the LORD.
Ẹ rántí, ẹ má sì ṣe gbàgbé bí ẹ̀yin ti mú Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín bínú ní aginjù. Láti ọjọ́ ti ẹ tí kúrò ní Ejibiti ni ẹ̀yin ti ń ṣọ̀tẹ̀ sí Olúwa títí tí ẹ̀yin fi dé ìhín yìí.
8 At Horeb you provoked the LORD, and He was angry enough to destroy you.
Ní Horebu ẹ̀yin ti mú kí Olúwa bínú, títí dé bi pé ó fẹ́ run yín.
9 When I went up on the mountain to receive the tablets of stone, the tablets of the covenant that the LORD made with you, I stayed on the mountain forty days and forty nights. I ate no bread and drank no water.
Nígbà tí mo gòkè lọ láti lọ gba wàláà òkúta, wàláà májẹ̀mú ti Olúwa ti bá a yín dá. Ogójì ọ̀sán àti òru ni mo fi wà lórí òkè náà, èmi kò fẹnu kan oúnjẹ bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ń kò mu omi.
10 Then the LORD gave me the two stone tablets, inscribed by the finger of God with the exact words that the LORD spoke to you out of the fire on the mountain on the day of the assembly.
Olúwa fún mi ní wàláà òkúta méjì tí a fi ìka Ọlọ́run kọ. Lórí wọn ni a kọ àwọn òfin tí Ọlọ́run sọ fún un yín lórí òkè láàrín iná, ní ọjọ́ ìpéjọpọ̀ sí.
11 And at the end of forty days and forty nights, the LORD gave me the two stone tablets, the tablets of the covenant.
Lópin ogójì ọ̀sán àti òru wọ̀nyí, Olúwa fún mi ní sílétì òkúta méjì, wàláà òkúta májẹ̀mú náà.
12 And the LORD said to me, “Get up and go down from here at once, for your people, whom you brought out of Egypt, have corrupted themselves. How quickly they have turned aside from the way that I commanded them! They have made for themselves a molten image.”
Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni Olúwa sọ fún mi pé, “Sọ̀kalẹ̀ kúrò níhìn-ín kíákíá, torí pé àwọn ènìyàn rẹ tí o mú jáde láti Ejibiti ti hùwà ìbàjẹ́. Wọ́n ti yípadà kúrò, nínú ọ̀nà mi, wọ́n sì ti ṣe ère dídá fún ara wọn.”
13 The LORD also said to me, “I have seen this people, and they are indeed a stiff-necked people.
Olúwa sì sọ fún mi pé, “Mo ti rí àwọn ènìyàn wọ̀nyí pé ènìyàn ọlọ́rùn líle gbá à ni wọ́n.
14 Leave Me alone, so that I may destroy them and blot out their name from under heaven. Then I will make you into a nation mightier and greater than they are.”
Fi mí sílẹ̀, jẹ́ kí n run wọ́n, kí n sì pa orúkọ wọn rẹ́ kúrò lábẹ́ ọ̀run. Èmi yóò sì sọ ọ́ di orílẹ̀-èdè tí ó lágbára tí ó sì pọ̀jù wọ́n lọ.”
15 So I went back down the mountain while it was blazing with fire, with the two tablets of the covenant in my hands.
Báyìí ni mo yípadà, tí mó sì sọ̀kalẹ̀ láti orí òkè náà wá, orí òkè tí o ń yọ iná. Àwọn wàláà májẹ̀mú méjèèjì sì wà lọ́wọ́ mi.
16 And I saw how you had sinned against the LORD your God; you had made for yourselves a molten calf. You had turned aside quickly from the way that the LORD had commanded you.
Ìgbà tí mo ṣàkíyèsí, mo rí i pé ẹ ti dẹ́ṣẹ̀ sí Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín. Ẹ ti ṣe ère òrìṣà ní ìrí ọ̀dọ́ màlúù, fún ara yín. Ẹ ti yípadà kánkán kúrò nínú ọ̀nà tí Olúwa ti pàṣẹ fún un yín.
17 So I took the two tablets and threw them out of my hands, shattering them before your eyes.
Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni mó ju wàláà méjèèjì náà mọ́lẹ̀, mo sì fọ́ wọn sí wẹ́wẹ́ lójú u yín.
18 Then I fell down before the LORD for forty days and forty nights, as I had done the first time. I did not eat bread or drink water because of all the sin you had committed in doing what was evil in the sight of the LORD and provoking Him to anger.
Lẹ́yìn náà mo tún wólẹ̀ níwájú Olúwa fún ogójì ọ̀sán àti ogójì òru, èmi kò jẹ oúnjẹ kankan bẹ́ẹ̀ ni èmi kò mu omi, nítorí gbogbo ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ tí ẹ tí dá, tí ẹ sì ń ṣe búburú lójú Olúwa, tí ẹ sì ń mú u bínú.
19 For I was afraid of the anger and wrath that the LORD had directed against you, enough to destroy you. But the LORD listened to me this time as well.
Mo bẹ̀rù ìbínú àti ìrunú Olúwa, nítorí pé inú bí i sí i yín dé bi wí pé ó fẹ́ pa yín run. Ṣùgbọ́n Olúwa tún fetí sí mi lẹ́ẹ̀kan sí i.
20 The LORD was angry enough with Aaron to destroy him, but at that time I also prayed for Aaron.
Inú sì bí Olúwa sí Aaroni láti pa á run, nígbà náà ni mo tún gbàdúrà fún Aaroni náà.
21 And I took that sinful thing, the calf you had made, and burned it in the fire. Then I crushed it and ground it to powder as fine as dust, and I cast it into the stream that came down from the mountain.
Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni mo sì mú ohun tí ó mú un yín dẹ́ṣẹ̀, àní ère ẹgbọrọ màlúù tí ẹ ti ṣe, mo sì fi iná sun ún, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni mo gún un, mo sì lọ̀ ọ́ lúúlúú bí eruku lẹ́búlẹ́bú, mo sì da ẹ̀lọ̀ rẹ̀ sínú odò tí ń sàn nísàlẹ̀ òkè.
22 You continued to provoke the LORD at Taberah, at Massah, and at Kibroth-hattaavah.
Ẹ̀yin tún mú Olúwa bínú ní Tabera, Massa àti ní Kibirotu-Hattaafa.
23 And when the LORD sent you out from Kadesh-barnea, He said, “Go up and possess the land that I have given you.” But you rebelled against the command of the LORD your God. You neither believed Him nor obeyed Him.
Nígbà tí Olúwa ran an yín jáde ní Kadeṣi-Barnea, Ó wí pé, “Ẹ gòkè lọ, kí ẹ sì gba ilẹ̀ náà tí mo fi fún un yín.” Ṣùgbọ́n ẹ ṣọ̀tẹ̀ sí òfin Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín. Ẹ kò gbẹ́kẹ̀lé e, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ẹ kò gbọ́ tirẹ̀.
24 You have been rebelling against the LORD since the day I came to know you.
Láti ìgbà tí mo ti mọ̀ yín ni ẹ ti ń ṣọ̀tẹ̀ sí Olúwa.
25 So I fell down before the LORD for forty days and forty nights, because the LORD had said He would destroy you.
Mo ti wólẹ̀ níwájú Olúwa fún ogójì ọ̀sán àti òru wọ̀nyí nítorí pé Olúwa sọ pé Òun yóò pa yín run.
26 And I prayed to the LORD and said, “O Lord GOD, do not destroy Your people, Your inheritance, whom You redeemed through Your greatness and brought out of Egypt with a mighty hand.
Mo gbàdúrà sí Olúwa wí pé, “Olúwa Olódùmarè, má ṣe run àwọn ènìyàn rẹ, àní ogún rẹ tí o ti rà padà, nípa agbára rẹ tí o sì fi agbára ńlá mú wọn jáde láti Ejibiti wá.
27 Remember Your servants Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Overlook the stubbornness of this people and the wickedness of their sin.
Rántí àwọn ìránṣẹ́ rẹ Abrahamu, Isaaki, àti Jakọbu. Fojú fo orí kunkun àwọn ènìyàn yìí, pẹ̀lú ìwà búburú àti ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ wọn.
28 Otherwise, those in the land from which You brought us out will say, ‘Because the LORD was not able to bring them into the land He had promised them, and because He hated them, He has brought them out to kill them in the wilderness.’
Bí bẹ́ẹ̀ kọ́, orílẹ̀-èdè tí ìwọ ti mú wa jáde wá yóò wí pé, ‘Torí pé Olúwa kò lè mú wọn lọ sí ilẹ̀ náà tí ó ti ṣèlérí fún wọn, àti pé ó ti kórìíra wọn, ni ó fi mú wọn jáde láti pa wọ́n ní aginjù.’
29 But they are Your people, Your inheritance, whom You brought out by Your great power and outstretched arm.”
Ṣùgbọ́n àwọn ènìyàn rẹ ni wọ́n, ogún rẹ tí o ti fi ọwọ́ agbára rẹ àti nínà ọwọ́ rẹ mú jáde.”
