< Deuteronomy 6 >

1 This, then is the commandment—[namely] the statutes and the regulations, which Yahweh your God hath commanded to teach you, —that ye may do them in the land whither ye are passing over to possess it:
Wọ̀nyí ni àwọn àṣẹ, ìlànà àti òfin tí Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín pàṣẹ fún mi láti kọ́ ọ yín kí ẹ lè kíyèsi i, ní ilẹ̀ náà tí ẹ ó ni lẹ́yìn tí ẹ bá kọjá a Jordani.
2 that thou mayest revere Yahweh thy God, [so as] to keep all his statutes and his commandments which I am commanding thee, thou and thy son and thy sons’ son, all the days of thy life, —and that thy days may be prolonged.
Kí ẹ̀yin, àwọn ọmọ yín àti àwọn ọmọ wọn, lẹ́yìn wọn bá à lè bẹ̀rù Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín, ní gbogbo ìgbà tí ẹ bá wà láyé, nípa pípa àwọn ìlànà àti àṣẹ rẹ̀ tí mo fún un yín mọ́, kí ẹ bá à lè pẹ́ lórí ilẹ̀.
3 Therefore shalt thou hear, O Israel, and shalt observe to do, that it may be well with thee, and that ye may multiply greatly, as Yahweh the God of thy fathers hath spoken to thee, in a land flowing with milk and honey.
Gbọ́ ìwọ Israẹli, kí o sì ṣọ́ra láti gbọ́rọ̀, kí ó bá à lè dára fún ọ, kí o bá à lè gbilẹ̀ lọ́pọ̀lọ́pọ̀ ní ilẹ̀ tí ń sàn fún wàrà àti fún oyin, gẹ́gẹ́ bí Olúwa Ọlọ́run àwọn baba rẹ ti ṣèlérí fún ọ.
4 Hear, O Israel: Yahweh, is our God, —Yahweh alone.
Gbọ́ ìwọ Israẹli, Olúwa Ọlọ́run wa, Olúwa kan ni.
5 Thou shalt therefore love Yahweh thy God, —with all thy heart and with all thy soul, and with all thy might;
Fẹ́ràn Olúwa Ọlọ́run rẹ pẹ̀lú gbogbo àyà rẹ àti gbogbo ọkàn rẹ, àti gbogbo agbára rẹ.
6 so shall these words which I am commanding thee to-day, be upon thy heart;
Àwọn àṣẹ tí mo fún un yín lónìí gbọdọ̀ máa wà lóókan àyà yín.
7 and thou shalt impress them upon thy sons, and shalt speak of them, —when thou sittest in thy house and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down and when thou risest up;
Ẹ fi kọ́ àwọn ọmọ yín gidigidi. Bí ẹ bá jókòó nínú ilé, ẹ jíròrò nípa wọn, àti nígbà tí ẹ bá ń rìn ní ojú ọ̀nà, bí ẹ bá dùbúlẹ̀ àti nígbà tí ẹ bá dìde.
8 and thou shalt bind them for a sign upon thy hand, —and they shall serve for bands between thine eyes;
Ẹ so wọ́n sí ọwọ́ yín fún àmì, ẹ so ó mọ́ iwájú orí yín.
9 and thou shalt write them upon the posts of thy house and within thy gates.
Kí ìwọ kí ó kọ wọ́n sára òpó ilé rẹ̀, àti sí ara ìlẹ̀kùn ọ̀nà òde rẹ.
10 So shall it be, when Yahweh thy God shall bring thee into the land, which he sware to thy fathers—to Abraham to Isaac and to Jacob to give unto thee, —into cities great and goodly, which thou didst not build;
Nígbà tí Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín bá mú yín dé ilẹ̀ náà tí ó ti búra fún àwọn baba yín, fún Abrahamu, Isaaki, àti Jakọbu láti fi fún un yín, ilẹ̀ tí ó kún fún àwọn ìlú ńlá ńlá tí kì í ṣe ẹ̀yin ló kọ́ ọ,
11 and houses full of all good things, which thou filledst not, and hewn cisterns which thou hewedst not, vineyards and oliveyards which thou plantedst not, —and shalt eat and be full,
àwọn ilé tí ó kún fún gbogbo ohun mèremère tí kì í ṣe ẹ̀yin ló rà wọ́n, àwọn kànga tí ẹ kò gbẹ́, àti àwọn ọgbà àjàrà àti èso olifi tí kì í ṣe ẹ̀yin ló gbìn wọ́n. Nígbà tí ẹ bá jẹ tí ẹ sì yó,
12 take heed unto thyself, lest thou forget Yahweh, —who brought thee forth out of the land of Egypt out of the house of servants.
ẹ ṣọ́ra kí ẹ má ṣe gbàgbé Olúwa, tí o mú un yín jáde láti Ejibiti wá, kúrò ní oko ẹrú.
13 Yahweh thy God, shalt thou revere And him, shalt thou serve, —And by his name, shalt thou swear.
Bẹ̀rù Olúwa Ọlọ́run rẹ, Òun nìkan ni kí o sì máa sìn, búra ní orúkọ rẹ̀ nìkan.
14 Ye shall not go after other gods, —of the gods of the peoples who are surrounding you;
Ẹ̀yin kò gbọdọ̀ tẹ̀lé ọlọ́run mìíràn: ọlọ́run àwọn tí ó yí i yín ká;
15 for a jealous GOD, is Yahweh thy God in thy midst, —lest the anger of Yahweh thy God kindle upon thee, and so he destroy thee from off the face of the ground.
torí pé Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín tí ó wà láàrín yín, Ọlọ́run owú ni, ìbínú rẹ̀ yóò sì run yín kúrò ní ilẹ̀ náà.
16 Ye shall not put Yahweh your God to the proof, —as ye put him to the proof in Massah [that is, "The place of proving"].
Ẹ̀yin kò gbọdọ̀ dán Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín wò bí ẹ̀yin ti dán wò ní Massa.
17 Ye shall, keep, the commandments of Yahweh your God and his testimonies and his statutes which he hath commanded thee;
Ẹ rí i dájú pé ẹ̀ ń pa àwọn òfin Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín mọ́ àti àwọn àṣẹ àti àwọn ìlànà tí ó ti fún un yín.
18 so shalt thou do what is right and what is pleasing in the eyes of Yahweh, —that it may be well with thee, and thou mayest enter in and possess the good land, which Yahweh sware unto thy fathers;
Ẹ ṣe èyí tí ó dára tí ó sì tọ́ lójú Olúwa, kí ó bá à lè dára fún un yín, kí ẹ̀yin bá à lè lọ láti gba ilẹ̀ dáradára náà tí Ọlọ́run ti fi ìbúra ṣèlérí fún àwọn baba ńlá a yín.
19 to thrust out all thine enemies from before thee, —As spake Yahweh.
Ẹ̀yin yóò sì ti àwọn ọ̀tá yín jáde níwájú u yín bí Olúwa ti ṣèlérí.
20 When thy son shall ask thee in time to come, saying, —What mean the testimonies and the statutes and the regulations, which Yahweh our God commanded you?
Ní ọjọ́ iwájú, bí ọmọ rẹ bá béèrè pé, “Kí ni ìtumọ̀ àwọn àṣẹ, ìlànà àti òfin wọ̀nyí tí Olúwa Ọlọ́run wa ti pàṣẹ fún ọ?”
21 Then shalt thou say unto thy son, Servants, were we unto Pharaoh in Egypt, —and Yahweh brought us forth out of Egypt with a firm hand;
Sọ fún un pé: “Ẹrú Farao ní ilẹ̀ Ejibiti ni wá tẹ́lẹ̀, ṣùgbọ́n Olúwa fi ọwọ́ agbára ńlá yọ wá jáde lóko ẹrú Ejibiti.
22 and Yahweh put forth signs and wonders great and sore upon Egypt upon Pharaoh and upon all his household before our eyes;
Lójú wa ni Olúwa tí ṣe iṣẹ́ àmì àti iṣẹ́ ìyanu: tí ó lágbára tí ó sì ba ni lẹ́rù: lórí Ejibiti àti Farao, àti gbogbo ènìyàn rẹ̀.
23 but he brought us forth from thence, —that he might bring us in, to give unto us the land, which he sware unto our fathers.
Ṣùgbọ́n ó mú wa jáde láti ibẹ̀ wá láti mú wa wọ inú àti láti fún wa ní ilẹ̀ tí ó ti fì búra fún àwọn baba ńlá wa.
24 So then Yahweh commanded us to do all these statutes, to revere Yahweh our God, —for our good, all the days, to preserve us alive (as at this day);
Olúwa pàṣẹ fún wa láti ṣe ìgbọ́ràn sí gbogbo ìlànà wọ̀nyí, láti bẹ̀rù Olúwa Ọlọ́run wa, kí ó ba à lè máa dára fún wa nígbà gbogbo, kí a sì lè wà láyé, bí a ṣe wà títí di òní.
25 and righteousness, shall it be to us, —when we take heed to do all this commandment, before Yahweh our God, as he commanded us.
Bí a bá ṣọ́ra láti pa gbogbo òfin wọ̀nyí mọ́ níwájú Olúwa Ọlọ́run wa, bí ó ti pàṣẹ fún wa, èyí ni yóò máa jẹ́ òdodo wa.”
