Deuteronomy 4
1 Nowe therefore hearken, O Israel, vnto the ordinances and to the lawes which I teache you to doe, that ye may liue and goe in, and possesse the lande, which the Lord God of your fathers giueth you.
Gbọ́ Israẹli, gbọ́ òfin àti ìlànà tí èmi yóò kọ́ ọ yín. Ẹ tẹ̀lé wọn kí ẹ ba à lè yè, kí ẹ ba à lè lọ láti gba ilẹ̀ tí Olúwa Ọlọ́run àwọn baba yín yóò fi fún un yín.
2 Ye shall put nothing vnto the word which I command you, neither shall ye take ought there from, that ye may keepe the commandements of the Lord your God which I commande you.
Ẹ má ṣe fi kún àwọn ohun tí mo pàṣẹ fún un yín, ẹ kò sì gbọdọ̀ yọ kúrò nínú wọn, ṣùgbọ́n ẹ pa òfin Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín tí mo fún un yín mọ́.
3 Your eyes haue seene what the Lord did because of Baal-Peor, for al the men that folowed Baal-Peor the Lord thy God hath destroyed euery one from among you.
Ẹ ti fi ojú ara yín rí ohun tí Olúwa ṣe ní Baali-Peori. Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín run gbogbo àwọn tí ó tẹ̀lé òrìṣà Baali-Peori kúrò ní àárín yín.
4 But ye that did cleaue vnto the Lord your God, are aliue euery one of you this day.
Ṣùgbọ́n gbogbo ẹ̀yin tí ẹ gbẹ́kẹ̀lé Olúwa Ọlọ́run láìyẹsẹ̀ ni ẹ wà láààyè lónìí.
5 Behold, I haue taught you ordinances, and lawes, as the Lord my God commanded me, that ye should doe euen so within the land whither ye goe to possesse it.
Ẹ kíyèsi i, mo ti kọ́ ọ yín ní àwọn òfin àti àṣẹ bí Olúwa Ọlọ́run mi ti pàṣẹ fún mi, kí ẹ ba à le tẹ̀lé wọn ní ilẹ̀ náà tí ẹ ń lọ láti ní ní ìní.
6 Keepe them therefore, and doe them; for that is your wisdome, and your vnderstanding in the sight of the people, which shall heare all these ordinances, and shall say, Onely this people is wise, and of vnderstanding, and a great nation.
Ẹ máa kíyèsi wọn dáradára. Èyí ni yóò fi ọgbọ́n àti òye yín han àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè. Àwọn tí wọn yóò gbọ́ nípa àwọn ìlànà wọ̀nyí, tí wọn yóò sì máa wí pé, “Dájúdájú, orílẹ̀-èdè ńlá yìí kún fún ọgbọ́n àti òye.”
7 For what nation is so great, vnto whome the gods come so neere vnto them, as the Lord our God is neere vnto vs, in all that we call vnto him for?
Orílẹ̀-èdè olókìkí wo ni ọlọ́run wọn tún súnmọ́ wọn, bí Olúwa Ọlọ́run wa ti súnmọ́ wa nígbàkígbà tí a bá ń ké pè é?
8 And what nation is so great, that hath ordinances and lawes so righteous, as all this Lawe, which I set before you this day?
Orílẹ̀-èdè wo ló tún le lókìkí láti ní àwọn ìlànà òdodo, àti òfin gẹ́gẹ́ bí àwọn òfin wọ̀nyí tí mo ń gbé kalẹ̀ fún un yín lónìí.
9 But take heede to thy selfe, and keepe thy soule diligently, that thou forget not the thinges which thine eyes haue seene, and that they depart not out of thine heart, all the dayes of thy life: but teach them thy sonnes, and thy sonnes sonnes:
Kìkì i kí ẹ kíyèsára, kí ẹ sì ṣọ́ra a yín gidigidi kí ẹ má ba à gbàgbé àwọn ohun tí ojú yín ti rí, kí wọn má sì ṣe sá kúrò lóókan àyà yín níwọ̀n ìgbà tí ẹ sì wà láààyè. Ẹ máa fi wọ́n kọ́ àwọn ọmọ yín àti àwọn ọmọ wọn tí ń bọ̀ lẹ́yìn wọn.
10 Forget not the day that thou stoodest before the Lord thy God in Horeb, when the Lord said vnto me, Gather me the people together, and I wil cause them heare my wordes, that they may learne to feare me all the dayes that they shall liue vpon the earth, and that they may teache their children:
Ẹ rántí ọjọ́ tí ẹ dúró níwájú Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín ní Horebu, nígbà tí ó wí fún mi pé, “Kó àwọn ènìyàn wọ̀nyí jọ síwájú mi láti gbọ́ ọ̀rọ̀ mi, kí wọ́n lè kọ́ láti máa bu ọlá náà fún mi ní gbogbo ìgbà tí wọ́n bá gbé lórí ilẹ̀ náà, kí wọ́n sì le è fi wọ́n kọ́ àwọn ọmọ wọn.”
11 Then came you neere and stoode vnder the mountaine, and the mountaine burnt with fire vnto the mids of heauen, and there was darkenesse, cloudes and mist.
Ẹ̀yin súnmọ́ tòsí, ẹ sì dúró ní ẹsẹ̀ òkè náà, òkè náà sì ń jóná dé agbede-méjì ọrun, pẹ̀lú òkùnkùn, àti àwọsánmọ̀, àti òkùnkùn biribiri.
12 And the Lord spake vnto you out of the middes of the fire, and ye heard the voyce of the wordes, but sawe no similitude, saue a voyce.
Olúwa sì bá yín sọ̀rọ̀ láti àárín iná náà wá. Ẹ gbọ́ àwọn ìró ohùn, ṣùgbọ́n ẹ kò rí ẹnikẹ́ni, ohùn nìkan ni ẹ gbọ́.
13 Then hee declared vnto you his couenant which he commanded you to doe, euen the ten commandements, and wrote them vpon two tables of stone.
Ó sọ àwọn májẹ̀mú rẹ̀ fún un yín àní àwọn òfin mẹ́wẹ̀ẹ̀wá tí ó pàṣẹ fún un yín láti máa tẹ̀lé, ó sì kọ wọ́n sórí wàláà òkúta méjì.
14 And the Lord commanded me that same time, that I should teach you ordinances and lawes, which ye should obserue in the lande, whither ye goe, to possesse it.
Olúwa sì pàṣẹ fún mi nígbà náà láti kọ yín ní ìlànà àti ìdájọ, kí ẹ̀yin kí ó lè máa ṣe wọ́n ní ilẹ̀ náà, ní ibi tí ẹ̀yin ń lọ láti gbà á.
15 Take therefore good heede vnto your selues: for ye sawe no image in the day that the Lord spake vnto you in Horeb out of the middes of the fire:
Ẹ kíyèsára gidigidi, torí pé, ẹ kò rí ìrísí ohunkóhun ní ọjọ́ tí Olúwa bá yín sọ̀rọ̀ ní Horebu láti àárín iná wá. Torí náà ẹ ṣọ́ra yín gidigidi,
16 That ye corrupt not your selues, and make you a grauen image or representation of any figure: whither it be the likenes of male or female,
kí ẹ ma ba à ba ara yín jẹ́ nípa ṣíṣe ère fún ara yín, àní ère lóríṣìíríṣìí yálà èyí tí ó ní ìrísí ọkùnrin tàbí tí obìnrin,
17 The likenes of any beast that is on earth, or the likenesse of any fethered foule that flieth in the aire:
tàbí ti ẹranko orí ilẹ̀, tàbí ti ẹyẹ tí ń fò ní òfúrufú,
18 Or the likenesse of any thing that creepeth on the earth, or the likenesse of any fish that is in the waters beneath the earth,
tàbí ti àwòrán onírúurú ẹ̀dá tí ń fà lórí ilẹ̀, tàbí ti ẹja nínú omi.
19 And lest thou lift vp thine eyes vnto heauen, and when thou seest the sunne and the moone and the starres with all the host of heauen, shouldest bee driuen to worship them and serue them, which the Lord thy God hath distributed to all people vnder the whole heauen.
Bí ẹ bá wòkè tí ẹ rí oòrùn, òṣùpá àti àwọn ìràwọ̀: àwọn ohun tí a ṣe lọ́jọ̀ sójú ọ̀run, ẹ má ṣe jẹ́ kí wọ́n tàn yín jẹ dé bi pé ẹ̀yin yóò foríbalẹ̀ fún wọn, àti láti máa sin ohun tí Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín dá fún gbogbo orílẹ̀-èdè lábẹ́ ọ̀run.
20 But the Lord hath taken you and brought you out of the yron fornace: out of Egypt to be vnto him a people and inheritance, as appeareth this day.
Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín sì ti mú ẹ̀yin jáde kúrò nínú iná ìléru ńlá, àní ní Ejibiti, láti lè jẹ́ ènìyàn ìní i rẹ̀, bí ẹ̀yin ti jẹ́ báyìí.
21 And the Lord was angrie with me for your words, and sware that I should not goe ouer Iorden, and that I should not goe in vnto that good land, which the Lord thy God giueth thee for an inheritance.
Inú Olúwa ru sí mi nítorí yín, ó sì ti búra pé èmi kì yóò la Jordani kọjá, èmi kì yóò sì wọ ilẹ̀ rere tí Olúwa Ọlọ́run fi fún un yín, ní ìní yín.
22 For I must die in this land, and shall not go ouer Iorden: but ye shall goe ouer, and possesse that good land.
Èmi yóò kú ní ilẹ̀ yìí, èmi kì yóò la Jordani kọjá, ṣùgbọ́n ẹ̀yin ti fẹ́ rékọjá sí òdìkejì odò láti gba ilẹ̀ rere náà.
23 Take heede vnto your selues, least ye forget the couenant of the Lord your God which hee made with you, and least ye make you any grauen image, or likenes of any thing, as the Lord thy God hath charged thee.
Ẹ ṣọ́ra, kí ẹ má ṣe gbàgbé májẹ̀mú Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín tí ó ti bá a yín dá. Ẹ má ṣe ṣe ère ní ìrísí ohunkóhun fún ara yín, èèwọ̀ ni Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín kà á sí.
24 For the Lord thy God is a consuming fire, and a ielous God.
Torí pé iná ajónirun ni Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín, Ọlọ́run owú ni.
25 When thou shalt beget children and childrens children, and shalt haue remained long in the land, if ye corrupt your selues, and make any grauen image, or likenes of any thing, and worke euill in the sight of the Lord thy God, to prouoke him to anger,
Lẹ́yìn ìgbà tí ẹ ti ní àwọn ọmọ àti àwọn ọmọ ọmọ, tí ẹ sì ti gbé ní ilẹ̀ yìí pẹ́, bí ẹ bá wá ba ara yín jẹ́ nípa ṣíṣe irú ère yówù tó jẹ́, tí ẹ sì ṣe búburú lójú Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín, tí ẹ sì mú un bínú.
26 I call heauen and earth to record against you this day, that ye shall shortly perish from the land, whereunto ye goe ouer Iorden to possesse it: ye shall not prolong your dayes therein, but shall vtterly be destroyed.
Mo pe ọ̀run àti ayé láti jẹ́rìí takò yín lónìí, pé kíákíá ni ẹ ó parun ní ilẹ̀ náà tí ẹ ń la Jordani kọjá lọ láti gbà. Ẹ kò ní pẹ́ ní ilẹ̀ náà, ṣùgbọ́n ẹ̀yin yóò run pátápátá.
27 And the Lord shall scatter you among the people, and ye shall be left few in nomber among the nations, whither the Lord shall bring you:
Olúwa yóò fọ́n yín ká sí àárín àwọn ènìyàn náà, àwọn díẹ̀ nínú yín ni yóò yè láàrín orílẹ̀-èdè tí Olúwa yóò fọ́n yín sí.
28 And there ye shall serue gods, euen ye worke of mans hand, wood, and stone, which neither see, nor heare, nor eate, nor smelll.
Ẹ ó sì máa sin ọlọ́run tí á fi ọwọ́ ènìyàn ṣe: tí wọ́n fi igi àti òkúta ṣe, èyí tí kò le ríran, gbọ́rọ̀, jẹun tàbí gbọ́ òórùn.
29 But if from thence thou shalt seeke the Lord thy God, thou shalt finde him, if thou seeke him with all thine heart, and with all thy soule.

30 When thou art in tribulation, and all these things are come vpon thee, at the length if thou returne to the Lord thy God, and bee obedient vnto his voyce,
Bí ẹ bá wà nínú wàhálà, bí gbogbo nǹkan wọ̀nyí bá ṣẹlẹ̀ sí yín, láìpẹ́ ẹ ó tún padà tọ Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín wá, ẹ ó sì gbọ́ tirẹ̀.
31 (For the Lord thy God is a mercifull God) he will not forsake thee, neither destroy thee, nor forget the couenant of thy fathers, which hee sware vnto them.

32 For inquire now of the dayes that are past, which were before thee, since the day that God created man vpon the earth, and aske from the one ende of heauen vnto the other, if there came to passe such a great thing as this, or whether any such like thing hath bene heard.

33 Did euer people heare the voyce of God speaking out of the middes of a fire, as thou hast heard, and liued?

34 Or hath God assayed to go and take him a nation from among nations, by tentations, by signes, and by wonders, and by warre, and by a mightie hand, and by a stretched out arme, and by great feare, according vnto all that the Lord your God did vnto you in Egypt before your eyes?

35 Vnto thee it was shewed, that thou mightest knowe, that the Lord hee is God, and that there is none but he alone.
A fi gbogbo nǹkan wọ̀nyí hàn yín kí ẹ bá a lè gbà pé Olúwa ni Ọlọ́run. Kò sì sí ẹlòmíràn lẹ́yìn rẹ̀.
36 Out of heauen hee made thee heare his voyce to instruct thee, and vpon earth he shewed thee his great fire, and thou heardest his voyce out of the middes of the fire.
Ó jẹ́ kí ẹ gbọ́ ohùn rẹ̀ láti ọ̀run wá, láti kọ́ ọ yín. Ní ayé, ó fi iná ńlá rẹ̀ hàn yín, ẹ sì gbọ́ ohùn rẹ̀ láti àárín iná wá,
37 And because hee loued thy fathers, therefore hee chose their seede after them, and hath brought thee out of Egypt in his sight by his mightie power,

38 To thrust out nations greater and mightier then thou, before thee, to bring thee in, and to giue thee their land for inheritance: as appeareth this day.

39 Vnderstande therefore this day, and consider in thine heart, that the Lord, he is God in heauen aboue, and vpon the earth beneath: there is none other.

40 Thou shalt keepe therefore his ordinances, and his commandements which I commaund thee this day, that it may goe well with thee, and with thy children after thee, and that thou mayst prolong thy dayes vpon the earth, which the Lord thy God giueth thee for euer.

41 Then Moses separated three cities on this side of Iorden toward the sunne rising:
Mose sì ya àwọn ìlú mẹ́ta kan sọ́tọ̀ ní apá ìwọ̀-oòrùn Jordani.
42 That the slayer should flee thither, which had killed his neighbour at vnwares, and hated him not in time past, might flee, I say, vnto one of those cities, and liue:
Kí apànìyàn kí ó lè máa sá síbẹ̀, tí ó bá ṣi ẹnìkejì rẹ̀ pa, tí kò sì kórìíra rẹ̀ tẹ́lẹ̀ rí, àti pé bí ó bá sá sí ọ̀kan nínú ìlú wọ̀nyí kí ó lè là.
43 That is, Bezer in the wildernesse, in the plaine countrey of the Reubenites: and Ramoth in Gilead among the Gadites: and Golan in Bashan among them of Manasseh.
Àwọn ìlú mẹ́tẹ̀ẹ̀ta náà nìwọ̀nyí: Beseri ní ijù, ní ilẹ̀ pẹ̀tẹ́lẹ̀, tí àwọn ọmọ Reubeni; Ramoti ní Gileadi, ti àwọn ọmọ Gadi àti Golani ní Baṣani, ti àwọn ará Manase.
44 So this is the law which Moses set before the children of Israel.
Èyí ni òfin tí Mose gbé kalẹ̀ fún àwọn ará Israẹli.
45 These are the witnesses, and the ordinances, and the lawes which Moses declared to the children of Israel after they came out of Egypt,

46 On this side Iorden, in the valley ouer against Beth-peor, in the land of Sihon King of the Amorites, which dwelt at Heshbon, whom Moses and the children of Israel smote, after they were come out of Egypt:
Tí wọ́n sì wà ní ẹ̀bá àfonífojì Beti-Peori ní ìlà-oòrùn Jordani; ní ilẹ̀ Sihoni, ọba àwọn Amori tí ó jẹ ọba Heṣboni tí Mose àti àwọn ọmọ Israẹli ṣẹ́gun, bí wọ́n ṣe ń ti Ejibiti bọ̀.
47 And they possessed his land, and the lande of Og King of Bashan, two Kings of the Amorites, which were on this side Iorden towarde the sunne rising:
Wọ́n gba ilẹ̀ rẹ̀, àti ilẹ̀ Ogu ọba Baṣani àwọn ọba Amori méjèèjì tí ń bẹ ní ìlà-oòrùn Jordani.
48 From Aroer, which is by the banke of the riuer Arnon, euen vnto mount Sion, which is Hermon,
Ilẹ̀ wọ̀nyí bẹ̀rẹ̀ láti Aroeri ní etí odò Arnoni dé orí òkè Sirioni (èyí ni Hermoni).
49 And all the plaine by Iorden Eastwarde, euen vnto the Sea, of ye plaine, vnder the springs of Pisgah.
