Deuteronomy 17
1 Thou shalt not sacrifice unto the LORD thy God an ox, or a sheep, wherein is a blemish, even any evil thing; for that is an abomination unto the LORD thy God.
Ẹ má ṣe fi màlúù tàbí àgùntàn tí ó ní àbùkù, tàbí àbàwọ́n rú ẹbọ sí Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín, nítorí ìríra ni èyí yóò jẹ́ fún un.
2 If there be found in the midst of thee, within any of thy gates which the LORD thy God giveth thee, man or woman, that doeth that which is evil in the sight of the LORD thy God, in transgressing His covenant,
Bí ọkùnrin tàbí obìnrin kan tó ń gbé láàrín yín ní èyíkéyìí ìlú wọ̀n-ọn-nì, tí Olúwa fún un yín bá ń ṣe ibi ní ojú Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín, ní ríré májẹ̀mú rẹ̀ kọjá,
3 and hath gone and served other gods, and worshipped them, or the sun, or the moon, or any of the host of heaven, which I have commanded not;
èyí tí ó lòdì sí òfin mi, ó ń sin ọlọ́run mìíràn, ó ń foríbalẹ̀ fún wọn: àní sí oòrùn, òṣùpá àti àwọn ìràwọ̀ ojú ọ̀run,
4 and it be told thee, and thou hear it, then shalt thou inquire diligently, and, behold, if it be true, and the thing certain, that such abomination is wrought in Israel;
tí èyí sì dé etí ìgbọ́ ọ yín, kí ẹ wádìí ọ̀rọ̀ náà dájúdájú. Bí ó bá jẹ́ òtítọ́ tí ó sì hàn gbangba pé ó ti ṣe ohun ìríra yìí, ní Israẹli.
5 then shalt thou bring forth that man or that woman, who have done this evil thing, unto thy gates, even the man or the woman; and thou shalt stone them with stones, that they die.
Ẹ mú ọkùnrin tàbí obìnrin tí ó ti ṣe ibi yìí wá sí ẹnu-ọ̀nà ibodè ìlú u yín, kí ẹ sọ ọ́ ní òkúta pa.
6 At the mouth of two witnesses, or three witnesses, shall he that is to die be put to death; at the mouth of one witness he shall not be put to death.
Lénu ẹlẹ́rìí méjì tàbí mẹ́ta ni a ó pa ọkùnrin náà tí ó yẹ láti kú, ṣùgbọ́n ẹ má ṣe pànìyàn nípasẹ̀ ẹlẹ́rìí kan ṣoṣo.
7 The hand of the witnesses shall be first upon him to put him to death, and afterward the hand of all the people. So thou shalt put away the evil from the midst of thee.
Àwọn ẹlẹ́rìí ni kí ó kọ́kọ́ gbọ́wọ́ lé e láti pa á. Lẹ́yìn èyí ni kí gbogbo ènìyàn dáwọ́jọ láti pa á. Nípa báyìí, ẹ̀yin yóò sì fọ ohun búburú náà mọ́ kúrò ní àárín yín.
8 If there arise a matter too hard for thee in judgment, between blood and blood, between plea and plea, and between stroke and stroke, even matters of controversy within thy gates; then shalt thou arise, and get thee up unto the place which the LORD thy God shall choose.
Bí ẹjọ́ bá wá sí ilé ẹjọ́ èyí tí ó nira jù láti dá, yálà ìtàjẹ̀ sílẹ̀ ni, ọ̀ràn dídá tàbí ìkanni-lábùkù, ẹ mú wọn lọ sí ibi tí Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín yóò yàn.
9 And thou shall come unto the priests the Levites, and unto the judge that shall be in those days; and thou shalt inquire; and they shall declare unto thee the sentence of judgment.
Ẹ lọ sí ọ̀dọ̀ àwọn àlùfáà tí í ṣe Lefi, àní sí ọ̀dọ̀ adájọ́ tí ó wà fún ìgbẹ́jọ́ ní ìgbà náà. Ẹ béèrè lọ́wọ́ wọn, wọn yóò sì ṣe ìdájọ́.
10 And thou shalt do according to the tenor of the sentence, which they shall declare unto thee from that place which the LORD shall choose; and thou shalt observe to do according to all that they shall teach thee.
Kí ìwọ kí ó sì ṣe bí ọ̀rọ̀ ìdájọ́, ti àwọn ará ibi tí Olúwa yóò yàn náà yóò fihàn ọ, kí ìwọ kí ó sì máa kíyèsí àti máa ṣe gẹ́gẹ́ bi gbogbo èyí tí wọn kọ́ ọ.
11 According to the law which they shall teach thee, and according to the judgment which they shall tell thee, thou shalt do; thou shalt not turn aside from the sentence which they shall declare unto thee, to the right hand, nor to the left.
Ẹ ṣe bí òfin tí wọ́n kọ́ ọ yín, àti ìpinnu tí wọ́n fún un yín. Ẹ má ṣe yípadà sọ́tùn tàbí sósì, kúrò nínú ohun tí wọ́n sọ fún un yín.
12 And the man that doeth presumptuously, in not hearkening unto the priest that standeth to minister there before the LORD thy God, or unto the judge, even that man shall die; and thou shalt exterminate the evil from Israel.
Ọkùnrin náà tí ó bá ṣe àìbọ̀wọ̀ fún adájọ́ tàbí àlùfáà tí ó ń ṣe iṣẹ́ ìránṣẹ́ sí Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín, níbẹ̀ ni kí ẹ pa á. Nípa báyìí ẹ̀yin yóò sì fọ ohun búburú náà mọ́ kúrò ní Israẹli.
13 And all the people shall hear, and fear, and do no more presumptuously.
Gbogbo ènìyàn ni yóò sì gbọ́, ẹ̀rù yóò sì bà wọ́n, wọn kò sì ní ṣe àìgbọ́ràn mọ́.
14 When thou art come unto the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee, and shalt possess it, and shalt dwell therein; and shalt say: 'I will set a king over me, like all the nations that are round about me';
Nígbà tí ẹ bá dé ilẹ̀ náà tí Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín yóò fún un yín, tí ẹ sì ti gba ilẹ̀ náà, tí ẹ sì ń gbé inú rẹ̀, tí ẹ sì wá sọ pé, “Ẹ jẹ́ kí a yan ọba tí yóò jẹ lé wa lórí bí i ti àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè tí ó yí wa ká.”
15 thou shalt in any wise set him king over thee, whom the LORD thy God shall choose; one from among thy brethren shalt thou set king over thee; thou mayest not put a foreigner over thee, who is not thy brother.
Ẹ rí i dájú pé ọba tí Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín yàn fún un yín ní ẹ yàn. Ó gbọdọ̀ jẹ́ láàrín àwọn arákùnrin yín. Ẹ má ṣe fi àjèjì jẹ ọba lórí i yín: àní ẹni tí kì í ṣe arákùnrin ní Israẹli.
16 Only he shall not multiply horses to himself, nor cause the people to return to Egypt, to the end that he should multiply horses; forasmuch as the LORD hath said unto you: 'Ye shall henceforth return no more that way.'

17 Neither shall he multiply wives to himself, that his heart turn not away; neither shall he greatly multiply to himself silver and gold.

18 And it shall be, when he sitteth upon the throne of his kingdom, that he shall write him a copy of this law in a book, out of that which is before the priests the Levites.

19 And it shall be with him, and he shall read therein all the days of his life; that he may learn to fear the LORD his God, to keep all the words of this law and these statutes, to do them;
Èyí yóò sì wà lọ́dọ̀ rẹ̀, òun ó sì máa kà nínú rẹ̀ ní gbogbo ọjọ́ ayé rẹ̀, kí ó lè máa kọ́ àti bẹ̀rù Olúwa Ọlọ́run rẹ̀, láti máa tẹ̀lé gbogbo ọ̀rọ̀ inú òfin yìí àti àwọn ìlànà rẹ̀ tọkàntọkàn.
20 that his heart be not lifted up above his brethren, and that he turn not aside from the commandment, to the right hand, or to the left; to the end that he may prolong his days in his kingdom, he and his children, in the midst of Israel.
