Deuteronomy 8
1 You must take care to follow every commandment I am giving you today, so that you may live and have many descendants, and go in and take over the country the Lord promised to give to your fore fathers.
Ẹ kíyèsi i láti máa tẹ̀lé gbogbo àṣẹ tí mo fún un yín lónìí, kí ẹ bá à le yè, kí ẹ sì pọ̀ sí i wọ ilẹ̀ náà, kí ẹ sì le gba ilẹ̀ náà, tí Olúwa fì búra ṣèlérí fún àwọn baba ńlá a yín.
2 Remember how for these forty years the Lord your God has led you all the way through the desert, humbling you and testing you in order to find out what you were really thinking, and whether or not you would keep his commandments.
Ẹ rántí bí Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín ti tọ́ ọ yín ṣọ́nà ní gbogbo ọ̀nà ní aginjù fún ogójì ọdún wọ̀nyí láti tẹ orí yín ba àti láti dán an yín wò kí ó ba à le mọ bí ọkàn yín ti rí, bóyá ẹ ó pa òfin rẹ̀ mọ́ tàbí bẹ́ẹ̀ kọ́.
3 He humbled you, and when you were hungry he gave you manna to eat, which nobody, including you and your forefathers, had ever had before This was in order to make it clear to you that human beings do not live by only eating bread, but by every word that comes from the mouth of the Lord.
Ó rẹ̀ yín sílẹ̀ nípa fífi ebi pa yín, Ó sì fi manna bọ́ ọ yín, èyí tí ẹ kò mọ̀, tí àwọn baba yín kò mọ̀, kí ó ba à lè kọ́ ọ yín pé, ènìyàn kò ti ipa oúnjẹ nìkan wà láààyè, bí kò ṣe ohun gbogbo tí ó jáde láti ẹnu Olúwa wá.
4 During these forty years your clothing didn't wear out and your feet didn't swell up.
Aṣọ yín kò gbó mọ́ ọn yín lọ́rùn bẹ́ẹ̀ ní ẹsẹ̀ yín kò sì wú, ní ogójì ọdún náà.
5 So you should realize that just as a parent disciplines their child, so the Lord your God disciplines you.
Ẹ mọ̀ ní ọkàn an yín pé, bí baba ti ń kọ́ ọmọ rẹ̀, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín ń kọ́ ọ yín.
6 That's why you have to keep the commandments of the Lord your God, following his ways and respecting him.
Nítorí èyí, ẹ gbọdọ̀ pa òfin Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín mọ́, nípa rínrìn ní ọ̀nà rẹ̀, àti bíbẹ̀rù rẹ̀.
7 For the Lord your God is taking you to a good country. It's a land of streams and pools and springs that flow through the valleys and down the hills;
Nítorí pé Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín ń mú un yín bọ̀ wá sí ilẹ̀ rere ilẹ̀ tí ó kún fún odò àti ibú omi, pẹ̀lú àwọn ìsun tí ń sàn jáde láti orí òkè àti pẹ̀tẹ́lẹ̀.
8 It's a land that produces wheat, barley, vines, fig trees, pomegranates, olive oil and honey.
Ilẹ̀ tí ó kún fún jéró àti ọkà barle, tí ó sì kún fún àjàrà àti igi ọ̀pọ̀tọ́, igi pomegiranate, òróró olifi àti oyin.
9 It's a land where you won't run out of food, where you will have everything you need; a land whose rocks contain iron ore and whose hills can be mined for copper.
Ilẹ̀ tí oúnjẹ kò ti wọ́n, kò sí ohun tí ẹ̀yin yóò ṣe aláìní, ilẹ̀ tí irin ti pọ̀ bí òkúta, ẹ̀yin sì lè wa idẹ jáde láti inú òkè rẹ̀ wá.
10 When you eat and are full, make sure you thank the Lord your God for the good land that he's given you.
Nígbà tí ẹ bá ti jẹ tí ẹ sì yó tán ẹ yin Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín fún pípèsè ilẹ̀ rere fún un yín.
11 Make sure you don't forget the Lord your God by disobeying his commandments and rules and regulations that I'm giving you today.
Ẹ ṣọ́ra kí ẹ má gbàgbé Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín, nípa kíkùnà láti pa àṣẹ rẹ̀, àwọn òfin rẹ̀, àti àwọn ìlànà rẹ̀ tí mo ń fún un yín lónìí mọ́.
12 For when you eat and are full, when you build beautiful houses to live in,
Kí ó má ba à jẹ́ pé, nígbà tí ẹ bá jẹun yó tán, tí ẹ bá kọ́ ilé tí ó dára tán, tí ẹ sí ń gbé inú rẹ̀,
13 and when your herds and flocks grow larger, and your silver and gold accumulates, and all your possessions increase,
nígbà tí àwọn agbo màlúù yín àti tí ewúrẹ́ ẹ yín bá pọ̀ sí i tán, tí fàdákà àti wúrà yín sì ń peléke sí i, tí ohun gbogbo tí ẹ ní sì ń pọ̀ sí i,
14 then you will become proud, and you will forget the Lord your God who led you out of Egypt, out of the prison-house of slavery.
nígbà náà ni ọkàn yín yóò gbéga, tí ẹ̀yin yóò sì gbàgbé Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín, tí ó mú un yín jáde láti Ejibiti wá, nínú oko ẹrú.
15 He guided you through the immense and terrifying desert with its poisonous snakes and scorpions—a dried up, waterless land. He brought water for you out of a flint rock.
Òun ni ó mú un yín la aginjù ẹlẹ́rù ńlá já, ilẹ̀ tí kò sí omi tí ó sì kún fún òǹgbẹ, pẹ̀lú àwọn ejò olóró ńlá ńlá àti àkéekèe. Ó mú omi jáde fún un yín láti inú àpáta.
16 He fed you in the desert with manna that your forefathers had never known, humbling you and testing you, so that eventually you would do well in the future.
Ó fún yín ní manna láti jẹ nínú aginjù, ohun tí àwọn baba yín kò mọ̀ rí, kí Òun bá à le tẹ orí yín ba kí ó sì lè dán an yín wò, kí ó bá à lè dára fún un yín.
17 You might think to yourselves, “I became rich through all my hard work.”
Ẹ lè rò nínú ara yín pé, “Agbára mi àti iṣẹ́ ọwọ́ mi ni ó mú ọ̀rọ̀ wọ̀nyí wá fún mi.”
18 But remember it's the Lord your God who gives you the ability to become rich, in order to fulfill his agreement he promised to your forefathers that still exists today.
Ṣùgbọ́n ẹ rántí Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín tí ó fún un yín ní agbára àti lè ní àwọn ọrọ̀ wọ̀nyí, tí ó sì fi mú májẹ̀mú rẹ̀ ṣẹ tí ó ti búra fún àwọn baba ńlá a yín bí ó ti rí lónìí.
19 If you ever forget the Lord your God, and run after other gods, worshiping and bowing down to them, I assure you right now that you will definitely die!
Bí ẹ bá wá gbàgbé Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín, tí ẹ sì tẹ̀lé àwọn òrìṣà mìíràn, tí ẹ sì sìn wọ́n, tí ẹ sì foríbalẹ̀ fún wọn, Mo kìlọ̀ fún un yín pé rírun ni ẹ̀yin yóò run.
20 In the same way the Lord destroyed the nations as you advanced, you will also die if you don't obey the Lord your God.
Bí àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè tí Olúwa parun níwájú u yín, bákan náà ni ẹ ó parun, torí pé ẹ kò gbọ́rọ̀ sí Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín lẹ́nu.
