Deuteronomy 9
1 Hear, O Israel: Thou art to pass over Jordan this day, to go in to possess nations greater and mightier than thyself, cities great and fenced up to heaven,
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 A people great and tall, the children of the Anakims, whom thou knowest, and of whom thou hast heard say, Who can stand before the children 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 Understand therefore this day, that YHWH thy Elohim is he which goeth over before thee; as a consuming fire he shall destroy them, and he shall bring them down before thy face: so shalt thou drive them out, and destroy them quickly, as YHWH hath said unto thee.
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 Speak not thou in thine heart, after that YHWH thy Elohim hath cast them out from before thee, saying, For my righteousness YHWH hath brought me in to possess this land: but for the wickedness of these nations YHWH doth drive them out from before thee.
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 Not for thy righteousness, or for the uprightness of thine heart, dost thou go to possess their land: but for the wickedness of these nations YHWH thy Elohim doth drive them out from before thee, and that he may perform the word which YHWH sware unto thy fathers, 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 therefore, that YHWH thy Elohim giveth thee not this good land to possess it for thy righteousness; for thou art a stiffnecked 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, and forget not, how thou provokedst YHWH thy Elohim to wrath in the wilderness: from the day that thou didst depart out of the land of Egypt, until ye came unto this place, ye have been rebellious against YHWH.
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 Also in Horeb ye provoked YHWH to wrath, so that YHWH was angry with you to have destroyed you.
Ní Horebu ẹ̀yin ti mú kí Olúwa bínú, títí dé bi pé ó fẹ́ run yín.
9 When I was gone up into the mount to receive the tables of stone, even the tables of the covenant which YHWH made with you, then I abode in the mount forty days and forty nights, I neither did eat bread nor drink 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 And YHWH delivered unto me two tables of stone written with the finger of Elohim; and on them was written according to all the words, which YHWH spake with you in the mount out of the midst of the fire in 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 it came to pass at the end of forty days and forty nights, that YHWH gave me the two tables of stone, even the tables of the covenant.
Lópin ogójì ọ̀sán àti òru wọ̀nyí, Olúwa fún mi ní sílétì òkúta méjì, wàláà òkúta májẹ̀mú náà.
12 And YHWH said unto me, Arise, get thee down quickly from hence; for thy people which thou hast brought forth out of Egypt have corrupted themselves; they are quickly turned aside out of the way which I commanded them; they have made them 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 Furthermore YHWH spake unto me, saying, I have seen this people, and, behold, it is a stiffnecked people:
Olúwa sì sọ fún mi pé, “Mo ti rí àwọn ènìyàn wọ̀nyí pé ènìyàn ọlọ́rùn líle gbá à ni wọ́n.
14 Let me alone, that I may destroy them, and blot out their name from under heaven: and I will make of thee a nation mightier and greater than they.
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 turned and came down from the mount, and the mount burned with fire: and the two tables of the covenant were in my two 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 looked, and, behold, ye had sinned against YHWH your Elohim, and had made you a molten calf: ye had turned aside quickly out of the way which YHWH 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 And I took the two tables, and cast them out of my two hands, and brake them before your eyes.
Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni mó ju wàláà méjèèjì náà mọ́lẹ̀, mo sì fọ́ wọn sí wẹ́wẹ́ lójú u yín.
18 And I fell down before YHWH, as at the first, forty days and forty nights: I did neither eat bread, nor drink water, because of all your sins which ye sinned, in doing wickedly in the sight of YHWH, to provoke 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 hot displeasure, wherewith YHWH was wroth against you to destroy you. But YHWH hearkened unto me at that time also.
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 And YHWH was very angry with Aaron to have destroyed him: and I prayed for Aaron also the same time.
Inú sì bí Olúwa sí Aaroni láti pa á run, nígbà náà ni mo tún gbàdúrà fún Aaroni náà.
21 And I took your sin, the calf which ye had made, and burnt it with fire, and stamped it, and ground it very small, even until it was as small as dust: and I cast the dust thereof into the brook that descended out of the mount.
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 And at Taberah, and at Massah, and at Kibrothhattaavah, ye provoked YHWH to wrath.
Ẹ̀yin tún mú Olúwa bínú ní Tabera, Massa àti ní Kibirotu-Hattaafa.
23 Likewise when YHWH sent you from Kadeshbarnea, saying, Go up and possess the land which I have given you; then ye rebelled against the commandment of YHWH your Elohim, and ye believed him not, nor hearkened to his voice.
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 Ye have been rebellious against YHWH from the day that I knew you.
Láti ìgbà tí mo ti mọ̀ yín ni ẹ ti ń ṣọ̀tẹ̀ sí Olúwa.
25 Thus I fell down before YHWH forty days and forty nights, as I fell down at the first; because YHWH 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 I prayed therefore unto YHWH, and said, O Sovereign YHWH, destroy not thy people and thine inheritance, which thou hast redeemed through thy greatness, which thou hast brought forth 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 thy servants, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; look not unto the stubbornness of this people, nor to their wickedness, nor to their sin:
Rántí àwọn ìránṣẹ́ rẹ Abrahamu, Isaaki, àti Jakọbu. Fojú fo orí kunkun àwọn ènìyàn yìí, pẹ̀lú ìwà búburú àti ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ wọn.
28 Lest the land whence thou broughtest us out say, Because YHWH was not able to bring them into the land which he promised them, and because he hated them, he hath brought them out to slay 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 Yet they are thy people and thine inheritance, which thou broughtest out by thy mighty power and by thy stretched out arm.
Ṣùgbọ́n àwọn ènìyàn rẹ ni wọ́n, ogún rẹ tí o ti fi ọwọ́ agbára rẹ àti nínà ọwọ́ rẹ mú jáde.”
