Deuteronomy 12
1 These are the statutes and ordinances, which ye shall observe to do, in the land which the Lord, the God of thy fathers, giveth unto thee to possess it, and all the days that ye live upon the earth.
Wọ̀nyí ni àwọn ìlànà àti òfin tí ẹ gbọdọ̀ ṣọ́ra láti máa tẹ̀lé, ní ilẹ̀ tí Olúwa Ọlọ́run àwọn baba yín, fi fún un yín láti gbà: ní gbogbo ìgbà tí ẹ bá fi wà lórí ilẹ̀ náà.
2 Ye shall utterly destroy all the places whereon the nations which ye are about to drive out served their gods, upon the high mountains, and upon the hills, and under every green tree;
Gbogbo ibi gíga àwọn òkè ńlá, àti òkè kéékèèké àti lábẹ́ gbogbo igi tí ń gbilẹ̀ níbi tí àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè tí ẹ ó lé jáde, tí ń sin òrìṣà wọn ní kí ẹ mú kúrò pátápátá.
3 And ye shall overthrow their altars, and break their statues, and their groves shall ye burn with fire; and the graven images of their gods shall ye hew down; and ye shall destroy their name out of the same place.
Ẹ wó àwọn pẹpẹ wọn, ẹ bi òpó ìsìn wọn ṣubú, kí ẹ sì sun òpó Aṣerah wọn ní iná. Ẹ gé gbogbo ère òrìṣà wọn lulẹ̀, kí ẹ sì pa orúkọ wọn rẹ́ ní gbogbo ààyè wọn.
4 Ye shall not do so unto the Lord your God;
Ẹ kò gbọdọ̀ sin Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín bí i tiwọn.
5 But unto the place which the Lord your God may choose out of all your tribes to put his name there, even unto his habitation shall ye repair, and thither shalt thou come;
Ṣùgbọ́n ẹ wá ibi tí Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín yóò yàn láàrín àwọn ẹ̀yà yín, láti fi orúkọ rẹ̀ síbẹ̀ bí i ibùgbé rẹ̀. Ibẹ̀ ni kí ẹ lọ.
6 And ye shall bring thither your burnt-offerings, and your sacrifices, and your tithes, and the heave-offering of your hand, and your vows, and your freewill-offerings, and the first-born of your herds and of your flocks;
Níbẹ̀ ni kí ẹ mú ẹbọ sísun àti ẹbọ yín wá, ìdámẹ́wàá yín àti ọrẹ àkànṣe, àwọn ẹ̀jẹ́ yín, ọrẹ àtinúwá yín, àti àwọn àkọ́bí gbogbo màlúù yín àti ewúrẹ́ ẹ yín.
7 And ye shall eat there before the Lord your God, and ye shall rejoice with all the acquisition of your hand, ye and your households, wherewith the Lord thy God may have blessed thee.
Níwájú Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín níbẹ̀, kí ẹ̀yin àti ìdílé yín jẹun kí ẹ sì yó, nínú gbogbo ìdáwọ́lé e yín, torí pé Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín ti bùkún un yín.
8 Ye shall not do after all the manner that we do here this day, every one whatsoever is right in his own eyes.
Kí ẹ̀yin kí ó má ṣe ṣe gẹ́gẹ́ bí a tí ṣe níhìn-ín lónìí yìí, tí olúkúlùkù ń ṣe ohun tí ó tọ́ ní ojú ara rẹ̀.
9 For ye are not as yet come to the rest and to the inheritance, which the Lord thy God giveth thee.
Níwọ́n ìgbà tí ẹ ti dé ibi ìsinmi, àti ibi ogún tí Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín fún un yín.
10 But ye will go over the Jordan, and dwell in the land which the Lord your God causeth you to inherit, and he will give you rest from all your enemies round about, so that ye may dwell in safety.
Ṣùgbọ́n ẹ ó la Jordani kọjá, ẹ ó sì máa gbé ní ilẹ̀ tí Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín fún un yín bí ìní, yóò sì fún un yín ní ìsinmi, kúrò láàrín àwọn ọ̀tá a yín, tí ó yí i yín ká, kí ẹ ba à lè máa gbé láìléwu.
11 And then shall it be, that the place which the Lord your God will choose to cause his name to dwell there, —[even] thither shall ye bring all that I command you: your burnt-offerings, and your sacrifices, your tithes, and the heave-offering of your hand, and all your choice vows which ye may vow unto the Lord;
Níbi tí Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín yóò yàn bí ibùgbé fún orúkọ rẹ̀. Níbẹ̀ ni kí ẹ mú gbogbo ohun tí mo pàṣẹ fún un yín wá: àwọn ọrẹ ẹ yín àti àwọn ẹbọ sísun, ìdámẹ́wàá yín àti ọrẹ àkànṣe, àti gbogbo ohun ìní yín tí ẹ ti yàn, èyí tí ẹ ti jẹ́ ẹ̀jẹ́ fún Olúwa.
12 And ye shall rejoice before the Lord your God, ye, and your sons, and your daughters, and your men-servants, and your maid-servants, and the Levite who is within your gates; because he hath not any portion nor inheritance with you.
Kí ẹ máa yọ̀ níwájú Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín níbẹ̀, ẹ̀yin, àwọn ọmọkùnrin yín, àwọn ọmọbìnrin yín, ìránṣẹ́bìnrin àti ìránṣẹ́kùnrin yín, àti àwọn Lefi láti ìlú u yín, tí wọn kò ní ìpín tàbí ogún tiwọn.
13 Take heed to thyself that thou offer not thy burnt-offerings in every place which thou mayest see;
Ẹ ṣọ́ra kí ẹ má ṣe rú ẹbọ sísun yín ní ibikíbi tí ẹ̀yin fẹ́.
14 But in the place which the Lord will choose in one of thy tribes, there shalt thou offer thy burnt-offerings, and there shalt thou do all that I command thee.
Ibi tí Olúwa yóò yàn láàrín àwọn ẹ̀yà a yín nìkan ni kí ẹ ti máa rú ẹbọ sísun yín, kí ẹ sì máa kíyèsi ohun gbogbo tí mo pàṣẹ fún un yín níbẹ̀.
15 Notwithstanding, according to all the longing of thy soul, mayest thou kill and eat flesh, according to the blessing of the Lord thy God which he hath given thee, in all thy gates: the unclean and the clean may eat thereof, as of the roebuck, and as of the hart.

16 Only the blood shall ye not eat: upon the earth shall ye pour it out as water.
Ṣùgbọ́n ẹ kò gbọdọ̀ jẹ ẹ̀jẹ̀ wọn, ẹ dà á sílẹ̀ bí omi.
17 Thou mayest not eat within thy gates the tithe of thy corn, or of thy wine, or of thy oil, nor the first-born of thy herds or of thy flocks, nor any of thy vows which thou mayest vow, nor thy freewill-offerings, and the heave-offering of thy hand;

18 But before the Lord thy God must thou eat them in the place which the Lord thy God may choose, thou, and thy son, and thy daughter, and thy man-servant, and thy maid-servant, and the Levite who is within thy gates; and thou shalt rejoice before the Lord thy God with all the acquisition of thy hand.
Bí kò ṣe kí ẹ jẹ ẹ́ níwájú Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín, níbi tí Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín, yóò yàn: ìwọ, àwọn ọmọkùnrin rẹ, àwọn ọmọbìnrin rẹ, àwọn ìránṣẹ́kùnrin àti ìránṣẹ́bìnrin rẹ àti àwọn ọmọ Lefi láti ìlú u yín, kí ẹ sì máa yọ̀ níwájú Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín, nínú gbogbo ìdáwọ́lé e yín.
19 Take heed to thyself that thou forsake not the Levite as long as thou livest upon thy land.
Ẹ ṣọ́ra kí ẹ má ṣe gbàgbé àwọn Lefi, ní gbogbo ìgbà tí ẹ bá ń gbé ní ilẹ̀ ẹ yín.
20 When the Lord thy God will enlarge thy border, as he hath spoken unto thee, and thou dost say, I wish to eat flesh, because thy soul longeth to eat flesh: then mayest thou, according to all the longing of thy soul, eat flesh.
Bí Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín bá ti fẹ́ agbègbè e yín bí ó ti ṣe ìlérí, fún un yín, tí ẹ sì wí pé, àwa yóò jẹ ẹran, nítorí tí ọkàn wa fẹ́ jẹran. Ẹ jẹ ẹran náà bí ẹ tí fẹ́.
21 If the place which the Lord thy God may choose to put his name there be too far for thee: then mayest thou kill of thy herds and of thy flocks, which the Lord hath given thee, as I have commanded thee; and thou shalt eat in thy gates according to all the longing of thy soul.
Bí ibi tí Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín bá yàn fún orúkọ rẹ̀ bá jìnnà sí i yín, kí ẹ pa màlúù tàbí ewúrẹ́ tí Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín tí fún un yín, bí mo ti pàṣẹ fún un yín ní ìlú u yín, ẹ lè jẹ ẹ́ bí ẹ ti fẹ́.
22 But as the roebuck and the hart are eaten, so shalt thou eat the same: the unclean and the clean may eat thereof together.
Ẹ jẹ wọ́n bí ẹ ó ti jẹ èsúró tàbí àgbọ̀nrín, ẹni tí a kà sí mímọ́ àti aláìmọ́ ni ó lè jẹ ẹ́.
23 Only be firm so as not to eat the blood; for the blood is the life; and thou shalt not eat the life with the flesh.
Ṣùgbọ́n ẹ rí i dájú pé ẹ kò jẹ ẹ̀jẹ̀ wọn, nítorí pé ẹ̀jẹ̀ ni ẹ̀mí, ẹ kò sì gbọdọ̀ jẹ ẹ̀mí pọ̀ mọ́ ẹran.
24 Thou shalt not eat it: upon the earth shalt thou pour it out like water.
Ẹ kò gbọdọ̀ jẹ ẹ̀jẹ̀, ẹ dà á sílẹ̀ bí omi.
25 Thou shalt not eat it; in order that it may go well with thee, and with thy children after thee, when thou wilt do what is right in the eyes of the Lord.
Ẹ má ṣe jẹ ẹ́, kí ó bá à lè dára fún ẹ̀yin àti àwọn ọmọ yín, tí ń bọ̀ lẹ́yìn in yín. Nígbà yí ní ẹ tó ń ṣe ohun tí ó tọ̀nà lójú Olúwa.
26 Nevertheless thy holy things which thou mayest have, and thy vows, shalt thou take, and go unto the place which the Lord may choose:
Ẹ mú àwọn ohun tí ẹ yà sọ́tọ̀ àti àwọn ẹ̀jẹ́ yín, kí ẹ sì lọ sí ibi tí Olúwa yóò yàn.
27 And thou shalt offer thy burnt-offerings, the flesh and the blood, upon the altar of the Lord thy God; and the blood of thy sacrifices shall be poured out upon the altar of the Lord thy God, and the flesh shalt thou eat.
Ẹ fi ẹbọ sísun yín kalẹ̀ lórí i pẹpẹ Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín, àti ẹran àti ẹ̀jẹ̀ rẹ̀. Ẹ̀jẹ̀ ọrẹ yín ni ki ẹ dà sí pẹpẹ Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín, ṣùgbọ́n ẹ lè jẹ ẹran.
28 Observe and hear all these words which I command thee; in order that it may go well with thee, and with thy children after thee for ever, when thou wilt do what is good and right in the eyes of the Lord thy God.
Ẹ kíyèsára láti máa gbọ́rọ̀ sí gbogbo ìlànà tí mò ń fún un yín, kí o bá à dára fún ẹ̀yin àti àwọn ọmọ yín nígbà gbogbo, nítorí pé nígbà náà ní ẹ tó ń ṣe ohun tí ó dára tí ó sì tọ̀nà níwájú Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín.
29 When the Lord thy God will cut off the nations, whither thou goest to drive them out from before thee, and thou succeedest them, and dwellest in their land:
Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín yóò gé àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè tí ẹ fẹ́ lé kúrò tí ẹ sì fẹ́ gba ilẹ̀ wọn kúrò níwájú u yín. Ṣùgbọ́n nígbà tí ẹ bá ti lé wọn jáde tí ẹ sì ń gbé ilẹ̀ wọn.
30 Then take heed to thyself that thou be not snared by following them, after they have been destroyed from before thee; and that thou inquire not after their gods, saying, How did these nations serve their gods? even so will I do likewise.
Lẹ́yìn ìgbà tí a bá ti pa wọ́n run níwájú u yín, ẹ ṣọ́ra kí ẹ má ba à bọ́ sínú àdánwò nípa bíbéèrè nípa àwọn òrìṣà wọn wí pé, “Báwo ni àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè yìí ṣe ń sin àwọn òrìṣà wọn? Àwa náà yóò ṣe bẹ́ẹ̀”.
31 Thou shalt not do so unto the Lord thy God; for every abomination to the Lord, which he hateth, have they done unto their gods; for even their sons and their daughters have they burnt in the fire to their gods.
Ẹ kò gbọdọ̀ sin Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín bí àwọn, torí pé, nípa sínsin ọlọ́run wọn, wọ́n ń ṣe ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ ohun ìríra tí Ọlọ́run kórìíra. Wọ́n ń dáná sun àwọn ọmọkùnrin àti àwọn ọmọbìnrin wọn láti fi rú ẹbọ sí ère òrìṣà wọn.
32 What thing soever I command you, even that shall ye observe to do: thou shalt not add thereto, and thou shalt not diminish therefrom.
