Deuteronomy 4
1 Now therefore hearken, O Israel, unto the statutes and unto the judgments, which I teach you, for to do [them], that ye may live, and go in and possess the land which the LORD God of your fathers giveth 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 not add unto the word which I command you, neither shall ye diminish [ought] from it, that ye may keep the commandments of the LORD your God which I command 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 have seen what the LORD did because of Baal-peor: for all the men that followed Baal-peor, the LORD thy God hath destroyed them 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 cleave unto the LORD your God [are] alive every one of you this day.
Ṣùgbọ́n gbogbo ẹ̀yin tí ẹ gbẹ́kẹ̀lé Olúwa Ọlọ́run láìyẹsẹ̀ ni ẹ wà láààyè lónìí.
5 Behold, I have taught you statutes and judgments, even as the LORD my God commanded me, that ye should do so in the land whither ye go to possess 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 Keep therefore and do [them; ] for this [is] your wisdom and your understanding in the sight of the nations, which shall hear all these statutes, and say, Surely this great nation [is] a wise and understanding people.
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 there so] great, who [hath] God [so] nigh unto them, as the LORD our God [is] in all [things that] we call upon 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 there so] great, that hath statutes and judgments [so] righteous as all this law, 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 Only take heed to thyself, and keep thy soul diligently, lest thou forget the things which thine eyes have seen, and lest they depart from thy heart all the days of thy life: but teach them thy sons, and thy sons’ sons;
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 [Specially] the day that thou stoodest before the LORD thy God in Horeb, when the LORD said unto me, Gather me the people together, and I will make them hear my words, that they may learn to fear me all the days that they shall live upon the earth, and [that] they may teach 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 And ye came near and stood under the mountain; and the mountain burned with fire unto the midst of heaven, with darkness, clouds, and thick darkness.
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 unto you out of the midst of the fire: ye heard the voice of the words, but saw no similitude; only [ye heard] a voice.
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 And he declared unto you his covenant, which he commanded you to perform, [even] ten commandments; and he wrote them upon 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 at that time to teach you statutes and judgments, that ye might do them in the land whither ye go over to possess 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 ye therefore good heed unto yourselves; for ye saw no manner of similitude on the day [that] the LORD spake unto you in Horeb out of the midst 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 Lest ye corrupt [yourselves], and make you a graven image, the similitude of any figure, the likeness 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 likeness of any beast that [is] on the earth, the likeness of any winged fowl that flieth in the air,

18 The likeness of any thing that creepeth on the ground, the likeness 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 up thine eyes unto heaven, and when thou seest the sun, and the moon, and the stars, [even] all the host of heaven, shouldest be driven to worship them, and serve them, which the LORD thy God hath divided unto all nations under the whole heaven.
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 forth out of the iron furnace, [even] out of Egypt, to be unto him a people of inheritance, as [ye are] 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 Furthermore the LORD was angry with me for your sakes, and sware that I should not go over Jordan, and that I should not go in unto that good land, which the LORD thy God giveth 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 But I must die in this land, I must not go over Jordan: but ye shall go over, and possess 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 heed unto yourselves, lest ye forget the covenant of the LORD your God, which he made with you, and make you a graven image, [or] the likeness of any [thing], which the LORD thy God hath forbidden 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, [even] a jealous God.
Torí pé iná ajónirun ni Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín, Ọlọ́run owú ni.
25 When thou shalt beget children, and children’s children, and ye shall have remained long in the land, and shall corrupt [yourselves], and make a graven image, [or] the likeness of any [thing], and shall do evil in the sight of the LORD thy God, to provoke 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 heaven and earth to witness against you this day, that ye shall soon utterly perish from off the land whereunto ye go over Jordan to possess it; ye shall not prolong [your] days upon it, but shall utterly 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 nations, and ye shall be left few in number among the heathen, whither the LORD shall lead 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 serve gods, the work of men’s hands, wood and stone, which neither see, nor hear, nor eat, nor smell.
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 seek the LORD thy God, thou shalt find [him], if thou seek him with all thy heart and with all thy soul.

30 When thou art in tribulation, and all these things are come upon thee, [even] in the latter days, if thou turn to the LORD thy God, and shalt be obedient unto his voice;
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 merciful God; ) he will not forsake thee, neither destroy thee, nor forget the covenant of thy fathers which he sware unto them.
Nítorí pé Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín aláàánú ni, kò ní gbàgbé tàbí pa yín rẹ́ tàbí kó gbàgbé májẹ̀mú pẹ̀lú àwọn baba ńlá yín, èyí tí ó fi ìdí rẹ̀ múlẹ̀ nípa ìbúra.
32 For ask now of the days that are past, which were before thee, since the day that God created man upon the earth, and [ask] from the one side of heaven unto the other, whether there hath been [any such thing] as this great thing [is], or hath been heard like it?
Ẹ béèrè báyìí nípa ti àwọn ọjọ́ ìgbàanì ṣáájú kí a tó bí i yín, láti ìgbà tí Ọlọ́run ti dá ènìyàn sórí ilẹ̀ ayé. Ẹ béèrè láti igun ọ̀run kan sí èkejì. Ǹjẹ́ irú nǹkan olókìkí báyìí: ti ṣẹlẹ̀ rí? Ǹjẹ́ a ti gbọ́ irú u rẹ̀ rí?
33 Did [ever] people hear the voice of God speaking out of the midst of the fire, as thou hast heard, and live?

34 Or hath God assayed to go [and] take him a nation from the midst of [another] nation, by temptations, by signs, and by wonders, and by war, and by a mighty hand, and by a stretched out arm, and by great terrors, according to all that the LORD your God did for you in Egypt before your eyes?

35 Unto thee it was shewed, that thou mightest know that the LORD he [is] God; [there is] none else beside him.
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 heaven he made thee to hear his voice, that he might instruct thee: and upon earth he shewed thee his great fire; and thou heardest his words out of the midst 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 he loved thy fathers, therefore he chose their seed after them, and brought thee out in his sight with his mighty power out of Egypt;

38 To drive out nations from before thee greater and mightier than thou [art], to bring thee in, to give thee their land [for] an inheritance, as [it is] this day.

39 Know therefore this day, and consider [it] in thine heart, that the LORD he [is] God in heaven above, and upon the earth beneath: [there is] none else.

40 Thou shalt keep therefore his statutes, and his commandments, which I command thee this day, that it may go well with thee, and with thy children after thee, and that thou mayest prolong [thy] days upon the earth, which the LORD thy God giveth thee, for ever.

41 Then Moses severed three cities on this side Jordan toward the sunrising;
Mose sì ya àwọn ìlú mẹ́ta kan sọ́tọ̀ ní apá ìwọ̀-oòrùn Jordani.
42 That the slayer might flee thither, which should kill his neighbour unawares, and hated him not in times past; and that fleeing unto one of these cities he might live:
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 [Namely], Bezer in the wilderness, in the plain country, of the Reubenites; and Ramoth in Gilead, of the Gadites; and Golan in Bashan, of the Manassites.

44 And 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 testimonies, and the statutes, and the judgments, which Moses spake unto the children of Israel, after they came forth out of Egypt,

46 On this side Jordan, in the valley over against Beth-peor, in the land of Sihon king of the Amorites, who dwelt at Heshbon, whom Moses and the children of Israel smote, after they were come forth 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 land of Og king of Bashan, two kings of the Amorites, which [were] on this side Jordan toward the sunrising;
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 bank of the river Arnon, even unto 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 plain on this side Jordan eastward, even unto the sea of the plain, under the springs of Pisgah.
