< Deuteronomy 12 >
1 These are the statutes and the ordinances which you shall observe to do in the land which the LORD, the God of your fathers, has given you to possess it, all the days that you live on 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 You shall surely destroy all the places in which the nations that you shall dispossess served their gods, on the high mountains, and on 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 you shall break down their altars, and dash in pieces their pillars, and burn their Asherim with fire; and you shall cut down the engraved images of their gods; and you shall destroy their name out of that 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 You shall not do so to the LORD your God.
Ẹ kò gbọdọ̀ sin Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín bí i tiwọn.
5 But to the place which the LORD your God shall choose out of all your tribes, to put his name there, even to his habitation you shall seek, and there you shall 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 there you shall bring your burnt offerings, and your sacrifices, and your tithes, and the wave offering of your hand, and your vows, and your freewill offerings, and the firstborn of your herd and of your flock:
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 there you shall eat before the LORD your God, and you shall rejoice in all that you put your hand to, you and your households, in which the LORD your God has blessed you.
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 You shall not do after all the things that we do here this day, every man whatever 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 you haven't yet come to the rest and to the inheritance, which the LORD your God gives you.
Níwọ́n ìgbà tí ẹ ti dé ibi ìsinmi, àti ibi ogún tí Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín fún un yín.
10 But when you go over the Jordan, and dwell in the land which the LORD your God causes you to inherit, and he gives you rest from all your enemies around you, so that you 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 then it shall happen that to the place which the LORD your God shall choose, to cause his name to dwell there, there you shall bring all that I command you: your burnt offerings, and your sacrifices, your tithes, and the wave offering of your hand, and all your choice vows which you vow to your God.
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 You shall rejoice before the LORD your God, you, and your sons, and your daughters, and your male servants, and your female servants, and the Levite who is within your gates, because he has no 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 Be careful that you do not offer your burnt offerings in every place that you see;
Ẹ ṣọ́ra kí ẹ má ṣe rú ẹbọ sísun yín ní ibikíbi tí ẹ̀yin fẹ́.
14 but in the place which the LORD shall choose in one of your tribes, there you shall offer your burnt offerings, and there you shall do all that I command you.
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, you may kill and eat flesh within all your gates, after all the desire of your soul, according to the blessing of the LORD your God which he has given you: the unclean and the clean may eat of it, as of the gazelle, and as of the deer.
Síbẹ̀síbẹ̀, ẹ lọ pa àwọn ẹran yín ní èyíkéyìí nínú àwọn ìlú u yín, kí ẹ sì jẹ ẹran náà tó bí ẹ ti fẹ́, bí ẹ ti ń ṣe sí àgbọ̀nrín àti èsúró, gẹ́gẹ́ bí ìbùkún Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín tí ó fi fún un yín, àti ẹni mímọ́ àti aláìmọ́ ni ó lè jẹ nínú àwọn ẹran náà.
16 Only you shall not eat the blood; you shall pour it out on the earth as water.
Ṣùgbọ́n ẹ kò gbọdọ̀ jẹ ẹ̀jẹ̀ wọn, ẹ dà á sílẹ̀ bí omi.
17 You may not eat within your gates the tithe of your grain, or of your new wine, or of your oil, or the firstborn of your herd or of your flock, nor any of your vows which you vow, nor your freewill offerings, nor the wave offering of your hand;
Ẹ kò gbọdọ̀ jẹ ìdámẹ́wàá oúnjẹ yín, wáìnì tuntun, òróró, àkọ́bí àwọn màlúù yín, tàbí ti ewúrẹ́ ẹ yín, ohunkóhun tí ó jẹ́ ẹ̀jẹ́, ọrẹ àtinúwá, tàbí ẹ̀bùn pàtàkì ní ìlú ẹ̀yin tìkára yín.
18 but you shall eat them before the LORD your God in the place which the LORD your God shall choose, you, and your son, and your daughter, and your male servant, and your female servant, and the Levite who is within your gates: and you shall rejoice before the LORD your God in all that you put your hand to.
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 Be careful that you do not forsake the Levite as long as you live in your 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 your God shall enlarge your border, as he has promised you, and you shall say, "I want to eat meat," because your soul desires to eat meat; you may eat meat, after all the desire of your soul.
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 your God shall choose to put his name there is too far from you, then you shall kill of your herd and of your flock, which God has given you, as I have commanded you; and you may eat within your gates, after all the desire of your 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 Even as the gazelle and as the deer is eaten, so you shall eat of it: the unclean and the clean may eat of it alike.
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 sure that you do not eat the blood: for the blood is the life; and you shall 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 You shall not eat it; you shall pour it out on the earth as water.
Ẹ kò gbọdọ̀ jẹ ẹ̀jẹ̀, ẹ dà á sílẹ̀ bí omi.
25 You shall not eat it; that it may go well with you, and with your children after you, when you shall do that which 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 Only your holy things which you have, and your vows, you shall take, and go to the place which the LORD shall 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 you shall offer your burnt offerings, the flesh and the blood, on the altar of the LORD your God; and the blood of your sacrifices shall be poured out on the altar of the LORD your God; and you shall eat the flesh.
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 and do all these words which I command you, that it may go well with you, and with your children after you forever, when you do that which is good and right in the eyes of the LORD your 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 your God shall cut off the nations from before you, where you go in to dispossess them, and you dispossess them, and dwell 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 take heed to yourself that you not be ensnared to follow them, after that they are destroyed from before you; and that you not inquire after their gods, saying, "How do these nations serve their gods? I will 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 You shall not do so to the LORD your God: for every abomination to the LORD, which he hates, have they done to their gods; for even their sons and their daughters do they burn 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 Whatever thing I command you, that you shall observe to do: you shall not add thereto, nor diminish from it.
