< Deuteronomy 7 >

1 When the Lord thy God shall bring thee into the land whither thou goest to possess it, and cast out many nations before thee, the Hittites, and the Girgashites, and the Emorites, and the Canaanites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, seven nations, greater in number and mightier than thou;
Nígbà tí Olúwa Ọlọ́run rẹ bá mú ọ dé ilẹ̀ náà, tí ìwọ yóò wọ̀ lọ láti gbà, tí ìwọ yóò sì lé ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ orílẹ̀-èdè kúrò níwájú rẹ. Àwọn ará Hiti, Girgaṣi, Amori, Kenaani, Peresi, Hifi àti àwọn ará Jebusi. Àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè méje tí wọ́n lágbára tí wọ́n sì pọ̀jù ọ lọ,
2 And when the Lord thy God shall give them up before thee, and thou dost smite them: thou shalt utterly destroy them; thou shalt not make any covenant with them, nor show mercy unto them.
nígbà tí Olúwa Ọlọ́run rẹ bá sì ti fi wọ́n lé ẹ lọ́wọ́, tí ìwọ sì ti ṣẹ́gun wọn, kí ìwọ kí ó sì pa wọ́n run pátápátá. Má ṣe bá wọn ṣe àdéhùn àlàáfíà, ìwọ kò sì gbọdọ̀ ṣàánú fún wọn.
3 Neither shalt thou make marriages with them; thy daughters shalt thou not give unto his son, and his daughter shalt thou not take unto thy son.
Ìwọ kò gbọdọ̀ bá wọn dá àna. Àwọn ọmọbìnrin rẹ kò gbọdọ̀ fẹ́ àwọn ọmọkùnrin wọn, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ìwọ kò gbọdọ̀ fẹ́ àwọn ọmọbìnrin wọn fún àwọn ọmọkùnrin rẹ,
4 For he would turn away thy son from following me, so that they might serve other gods; and the anger of the Lord would be kindled against you, and he would destroy thee speedily.

5 But thus shall ye do unto them: their altars shall ye pull down, and their statues shall ye break, and their groves shall ye cut down, and their graven images shall ye burn with fire.
Èyí ni kí ẹ ṣe sí wọn, ẹ wó pẹpẹ wọn lulẹ̀, ẹ bi òpó òkúta ibi mímọ́ òrìṣà wọn lulẹ̀, òpó òrìṣà Aṣerah wọn ni kí ẹ gé lulẹ̀ kí ẹ sì sun ère òrìṣà wọn ní iná.
6 For thou art a holy people unto the Lord thy God; of thee the Lord thy God hath made choice to be unto himself a special people, above all the nations that are upon the face of the earth.
Torí pé ènìyàn mímọ́ ni ẹ jẹ́ sí Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín, Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín ti yàn yín láàrín gbogbo ènìyàn lórí ilẹ̀ ayé, láti jẹ́ ènìyàn rẹ̀: ohun ìní iyebíye rẹ̀.
7 Not because ye are more in number than all the nations, did the Lord desire you and make choice of you; for ye are the fewest of all the nations;
Olúwa kò torí pé ẹ pọ̀ lọ́pọ̀lọ́pọ̀ ju àwọn ènìyàn yòókù lọ yàn yín, ẹ̀yin sá à lẹ kéré jù nínú gbogbo ènìyàn.
8 But on account of the love of the Lord for you, and because he keepeth the oath which he hath sworn unto your fathers, hath the Lord brought you out with a mighty hand, and redeemed you out of the house of bond-men, out of the hand of Pharaoh the king of Egypt.
Ṣùgbọ́n torí Olúwa fẹ́ràn yín, tí ó sì pa ìbúra tí ó ṣe pẹ̀lú àwọn baba ńlá yín mọ́ ni ó ṣe fi ọwọ́ agbára ńlá mú un yín jáde tí ó sì rà yín padà nínú oko ẹrú, àti láti ọwọ́ agbára Farao ọba Ejibiti.
9 Know then that the Eternal thy God, is the God, the faithful God, who keepeth the covenant and the mercy with those that love him and with those that keep his commandments to the thousandth generation;
Nítorí náà ẹ mọ̀ dájúdájú pé Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín, Òun ni Ọlọ́run, Ọlọ́run olóòtítọ́ ni, tí ń pa májẹ̀mú ìfẹ́ rẹ̀ mọ́ fún ẹgbẹẹgbẹ̀rún ìran, àwọn tí ó fẹ́ ẹ tí ó sì ń pa àṣẹ rẹ̀ mọ́.
10 And repayeth those that hate him to their face, to destroy them; he will not delay to him that hateth him, he will repay him to his face.
Ṣùgbọ́n àwọn tí ó kórìíra rẹ̀ ni yóò san ẹ̀san fún ní gbangba nípa pípa wọ́n run; kì yóò sì jáfara láti san ẹ̀san fún àwọn tí ó kórìíra rẹ̀ ní gbangba.
11 Therefore shalt thou keep the commandment, and the statutes, and the ordinances, which I command thee this day, to do them.
Nítorí náà ẹ kíyèsi láti máa tẹ̀lé àwọn àṣẹ, ìlànà àti òfin tí mo fun un yín lónìí.
12 And it shall come to pass in reward for that ye will hearken to these ordinances, and keep, and do them, that the Lord thy God will keep unto thee the covenant and the kindness which he hath sworn unto thy fathers:
Bí ẹ bá ń kíyèsi àwọn òfin wọ̀nyí tí ẹ sì ń ṣọ́ra láti ṣe wọ́n, nígbà náà ni Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín yóò pa májẹ̀mú ìfẹ́ rẹ̀ mọ́ fún un yín, bí ó ti búra fún àwọn baba ńlá a yín.
13 And he will love thee, and bless thee, and multiply thee; and he will bless the fruit of thy womb, and the fruit of thy land, thy corn, and thy wine, and thy oil, the increase of thy cattle, and the young of thy flocks, in the land which he hath sworn unto thy fathers to give unto thee.
Yóò fẹ́ràn yín, yóò bùkún un yín yóò sì mú kí ẹ pọ̀ sí i. Yóò bùkún èso inú yín, ọ̀gbìn ilẹ̀ yín, oúnjẹ yín, wáìnì tuntun àti òróró yín, àwọn màlúù, agbo ẹran yín, àti àwọn àgùntàn, ọ̀wọ́ ẹran yín, ní ilẹ̀ tí ó ti búra fún àwọn baba ńlá yín láti fún un yín.
14 Blessed shalt thou be above all the nations; there shall not be a barren male or female among thee, nor among thy cattle.
A ó bùkún un yín ju gbogbo ènìyàn lọ, kò sí ẹni tí yóò yàgàn nínú ọkùnrin tàbí obìnrin yín, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni kò sí ọ̀kan nínú àwọn ohun ọ̀sìn in yín tí yóò wà láìlọ́mọ.
15 And the Lord will take away from thee all sickness; and all the evil diseases of Egypt, which thou knowest, will he not put upon thee; but he will lay them upon all those that hate thee.
Olúwa yóò pa ọ́ mọ́ kúrò nínú ààrùn gbogbo, kì yóò jẹ́ kí èyíkéyìí ààrùn búburú tí ẹ mọ̀ ní Ejibiti wá sára yín, ṣùgbọ́n yóò fi wọ́n lé ara gbogbo àwọn tí ó kórìíra yín.
16 And thou shalt consume all the nations which the Lord thy God giveth unto thee; thy eye shall not look with pity upon them: and thou shalt not serve their gods; for that would be a snare unto thee.
Gbogbo àwọn ènìyàn tí Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín fi lé yín lọ́wọ́ ni kí ẹ parun pátápátá. Ẹ má ṣe ṣàánú fún wọn, ẹ má ṣe sin olúwa ọlọ́run wọn torí pé ìdánwò ni èyí jẹ́ fún un yín.
17 If thou shouldst say in thy heart, These nations are more numerous than I: how shall I be able to dispossess them?
Ẹ lè máa rò láàrín ara yín pé, “Àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè yìí lágbára jù wá lọ. Báwo ni a o ṣe lé wọn jáde?”
18 Thou shalt not be afraid of them; [but] thou shalt well remember what the Lord thy God did unto Pharaoh, and unto all Egypt;
Ṣùgbọ́n ẹ má ṣe bẹ̀rù wọn, ẹ rántí dáradára ohun tí Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín ṣe sí Farao àti gbogbo Ejibiti.
19 The great proofs which thy eyes have seen, and the signs, and the wonders, and the mighty hand, and the outstretched arm, whereby the Lord thy God brought thee out: in this wise will the Lord thy God do unto all the people of whom thou art afraid.
Ẹ sá à fi ojú u yín rí àwọn àdánwò ńlá, àwọn iṣẹ́ àmì àti iṣẹ́ ìyanu ńlá, ọwọ́ agbára àti nínà ọwọ́ tí Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín fi mú un yín jáde. Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín yóò ṣe bákan náà sí gbogbo àwọn ènìyàn náà tí ẹ ń bẹ̀rù.
20 Moreover the hornet will the Lord thy God send out against them, until they that are left, and hide themselves from thee, be destroyed.

21 Thou shalt not be affrighted at them; for the Lord thy God is in the midst of thee, a mighty and terrible God.
Ẹ má gbọ̀n jìnnìjìnnì torí wọn, torí pé Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín tí ó wà láàrín yín, Ọlọ́run alágbára ni, àti Ọlọ́run tí ó tóbi lọ́pọ̀lọ́pọ̀.
22 And the Lord thy God will chase out these nations before thee, little by little: thou shalt not be able to make an end of them speedily, lest the beasts of the field increase upon thee.
Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín yóò lé gbogbo orílẹ̀-èdè wọ̀n-ọn-nì kúrò níwájú u yín díẹ̀díẹ̀. A kò nígbà yín láààyè láti lé wọn dànù lẹ́ẹ̀kan ṣoṣo. Kí àwọn ẹranko igbó má ba à gbilẹ̀ sí i láàrín yín.
23 And the Lord thy God will give them up before thee, and he will bring among them a mighty confusion, until they be destroyed.

24 And he will give their kings into thy hand, and thou shalt destroy their name from under the heavens: no man shall be able to stand up before thee, until thou have destroyed them.
Yóò fi àwọn ọba wọn lé e yín lọ́wọ́, ẹ̀yin ó sì pa orúkọ wọn rẹ́ lábẹ́ ọ̀run. Kò sí ẹni tí yóò lè dojú ìjà kọ yín títí tí ẹ ó fi pa wọ́n run.
25 The graven images of their gods shall ye burn with fire: thou shalt not covet the silver or gold that is on them, so that thou wouldst take it unto thyself, lest thou be ensnared thereby; for it is an abomination to the Lord thy God.
Dá iná sun àwọn ère òrìṣà wọn, ẹ má ṣe ṣe ojúkòkòrò sí fàdákà tàbí wúrà tí ó wà lára wọn. Ẹ má ṣe mú un fún ara yín, bí bẹ́ẹ̀ kọ́ yóò jẹ́ ìdẹ̀kùn fún un yín, torí pé ìríra ni sí Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín.
26 And thou shalt not bring an abomination into thy house, lest thou become accursed like it: thou shalt utterly detest it, and thou shalt utterly abhor it; for it is accursed.
Ẹ má ṣe mú ohun ìríra wá sí ilé yín, kí ìwọ má ba à di ẹni ìparun bí i rẹ̀. Ẹ kórìíra rẹ̀ kí ẹ sì kà á sí ìríra pátápátá, torí pé a yà á sọ́tọ̀ fún ìparun ni.
