Deuteronomy 9
1 Hear O Israel! thou art passing, to-day, over the Jordan, to go in to dispossess nations, greater and stronger than thou, —cities great and fortified into the heavens;
Gbọ́, ìwọ Israẹli. Báyìí, ẹ̀yin ti gbáradì láti la Jordani kọjá, láti lọ gba ilẹ̀ àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè tí wọ́n tóbi, tí wọ́n sì lágbára jù yín lọ, tí wọ́n ní àwọn ìlú ńlá ńlá, tí odi wọn kan ọ̀run.
2 a people great and tall, the sons of Anakim, —whom, thou, knowest, and of whom thou hast heard say, Who can stand before the sons of Anak?
Àwọn ènìyàn náà lágbára wọ́n sì ga àní àwọn ọmọ Anaki ni wọ́n. Ẹ gbọ́ nípa wọn, ẹ sì gbọ́ tí àwọn ènìyàn ń sọ nípa wọn pé, “Ta ni ó le è dojú ìjà kọ àwọn ọmọ Anaki (òmíràn)?”
3 So then, thou must consider to-day, that Yahweh thy God, he it is that is passing over before thee as a consuming fire, he, will destroy them, and, he, will cause them to bow down before thee, —so shalt thou dispossess them, and destroy them speedily, as Yahweh hath spoken unto thee.
Ṣùgbọ́n kí ó dá a yín lójú lónìí pé Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín ni ó ń ṣáájú u yín lọ gẹ́gẹ́ bí iná ajónirun. Yóò jó wọn run, yóò sì tẹ orí wọn ba níwájú yín. Ẹ̀yin yóò sì lé wọ́n jáde, ẹ̀yin yóò sì run wọ́n kíákíá, bí Olúwa ti ṣèlérí fún un yín.
4 Do not speak in thy heart, when Yahweh thy God casteth them out from before thee saying, For mine own righteousness, hath Yahweh brought me in, to possess this land, —whereas it is for the lawlessness of these nations, that, Yahweh, is dispossessing them from before thee.
Lẹ́yìn tí Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín bá ti lé wọn jáde níwájú u yín, ẹ má ṣe wí fún ara yín pé, “Torí òdodo mi ní Olúwa ṣe mú mi wá síbí láti gba ilẹ̀ náà.” Rárá, ṣùgbọ́n nítorí ìwà búburú àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè wọ̀nyí ni Olúwa yóò ṣe lé wọn jáde níwájú u yín.
5 Not for thine own righteousness, nor for the uprightness of thine own heart, art thou going in to possess their land, —but for the lawlessness of these nations, is, Yahweh thy God driving them out from before thee, and that he may establish the word which Yahweh sware unto thy fathers, unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob.
Kì í ṣe nítorí òdodo yín, tàbí ìdúró ṣinṣin ni ẹ ó fi wọ ìlú wọn lọ láti gba ilẹ̀ wọn, ṣùgbọ́n nítorí ìwà búburú àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè wọ̀nyí ni Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín yóò fi lé wọn jáde kúrò níwájú u yín láti lè mú ohun tí ó búra fún àwọn baba ṣẹ: fún Abrahamu, Isaaki àti Jakọbu.
6 So then, thou must consider that, not for thine own righteousness, is Yahweh thy God giving unto thee this good land to possess it, —for a stiff-necked people, thou art.
Ṣùgbọ́n kí ó yé yín pé kì í ṣe nítorí òdodo yín ni Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín fi ń fún un yín ní ilẹ̀ rere náà, láti ní, nítorí pé ènìyàn ọlọ́rùn líle ni ẹ jẹ́.
7 Remember—do not forget, how thou didst provoke Yahweh thy God, in the desert, —yea from the day when thou camest forth out of the and of Egypt until ye entered as far as this place, have ye been quarrelling, with Yahweh.
Ẹ rántí, ẹ má sì ṣe gbàgbé bí ẹ̀yin ti mú Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín bínú ní aginjù. Láti ọjọ́ ti ẹ tí kúrò ní Ejibiti ni ẹ̀yin ti ń ṣọ̀tẹ̀ sí Olúwa títí tí ẹ̀yin fi dé ìhín yìí.
8 Even in Horeb, ye provoked Yahweh to wrath, —so that Yahweh showed himself angry with you to destroy you.
Ní Horebu ẹ̀yin ti mú kí Olúwa bínú, títí dé bi pé ó fẹ́ run yín.
9 When I went up into the mountain to receive the tables of stone—the tables of the covenant, which Yahweh had solemnised with you, then abode I in the mountain forty days and forty nights, food, did I not, eat, and water, did I not drink.
Nígbà tí mo gòkè lọ láti lọ gba wàláà òkúta, wàláà májẹ̀mú ti Olúwa ti bá a yín dá. Ogójì ọ̀sán àti òru ni mo fi wà lórí òkè náà, èmi kò fẹnu kan oúnjẹ bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ń kò mu omi.
10 Then did Yahweh deliver unto me the two tables of stone, written with the finger of God, —and [there was] upon them, according to all the words which Yahweh had spoken with you in the mountain out of the midst of the fire in the day of the convocation.
Olúwa fún mi ní wàláà òkúta méjì tí a fi ìka Ọlọ́run kọ. Lórí wọn ni a kọ àwọn òfin tí Ọlọ́run sọ fún un yín lórí òkè láàrín iná, ní ọjọ́ ìpéjọpọ̀ sí.
11 So then it came to pass at the end of forty days and forty nights, that Yahweh gave unto me the two tables of stone the tables of the covenant.
Lópin ogójì ọ̀sán àti òru wọ̀nyí, Olúwa fún mi ní sílétì òkúta méjì, wàláà òkúta májẹ̀mú náà.
12 Then said Yahweh unto me—Up! get down quickly out of this mountain, for thy people whom thou hast brought forth out of Egypt, have broken faith, —they have turned aside quickly, out of the way which I commanded them, —they have made them a molten image.
Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni Olúwa sọ fún mi pé, “Sọ̀kalẹ̀ kúrò níhìn-ín kíákíá, torí pé àwọn ènìyàn rẹ tí o mú jáde láti Ejibiti ti hùwà ìbàjẹ́. Wọ́n ti yípadà kúrò, nínú ọ̀nà mi, wọ́n sì ti ṣe ère dídá fún ara wọn.”
13 And Yahweh spake unto me saying, —I have looked on this people, and lo! a stiff-necked people, it is.
Olúwa sì sọ fún mi pé, “Mo ti rí àwọn ènìyàn wọ̀nyí pé ènìyàn ọlọ́rùn líle gbá à ni wọ́n.
14 Let me alone, that I may destroy them, and wipe out their name from under the heavens, —and make thee into a nation stronger and more in number than they.
Fi mí sílẹ̀, jẹ́ kí n run wọ́n, kí n sì pa orúkọ wọn rẹ́ kúrò lábẹ́ ọ̀run. Èmi yóò sì sọ ọ́ di orílẹ̀-èdè tí ó lágbára tí ó sì pọ̀jù wọ́n lọ.”
15 So I turned, and came down out of the mountain, now the mountain was burning with fire, —and the two tables of the covenant were upon my two hands.
Báyìí ni mo yípadà, tí mó sì sọ̀kalẹ̀ láti orí òkè náà wá, orí òkè tí o ń yọ iná. Àwọn wàláà májẹ̀mú méjèèjì sì wà lọ́wọ́ mi.
16 Then looked I, and lo! ye had sinned against Yahweh your God, ye had made you a molten calf, —ye had turned aside quickly, out of the way which Yahweh had commanded you.
Ìgbà tí mo ṣàkíyèsí, mo rí i pé ẹ ti dẹ́ṣẹ̀ sí Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín. Ẹ ti ṣe ère òrìṣà ní ìrí ọ̀dọ́ màlúù, fún ara yín. Ẹ ti yípadà kánkán kúrò nínú ọ̀nà tí Olúwa ti pàṣẹ fún un yín.
17 So I seized the two tables, and cast them from off my two hands, —and brake them in pieces before your eyes.
Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni mó ju wàláà méjèèjì náà mọ́lẹ̀, mo sì fọ́ wọn sí wẹ́wẹ́ lójú u yín.
18 Then lay I prostrate before Yahweh as at the first, forty days and forty nights, food, did I not eat, and water, did I not drink, —because of all your sin which ye had sinned, in doing the thing that was wicked, in the eyes of Yahweh. to provoke him to anger.
Lẹ́yìn náà mo tún wólẹ̀ níwájú Olúwa fún ogójì ọ̀sán àti ogójì òru, èmi kò jẹ oúnjẹ kankan bẹ́ẹ̀ ni èmi kò mu omi, nítorí gbogbo ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ tí ẹ tí dá, tí ẹ sì ń ṣe búburú lójú Olúwa, tí ẹ sì ń mú u bínú.
19 For I shrank with fear from the face of the anger and the hot displeasure, wherewith Yahweh was provoked against you to destroy you, —but Yahweh hearkened unto me, even at that time.
Mo bẹ̀rù ìbínú àti ìrunú Olúwa, nítorí pé inú bí i sí i yín dé bi wí pé ó fẹ́ pa yín run. Ṣùgbọ́n Olúwa tún fetí sí mi lẹ́ẹ̀kan sí i.
20 And with Aaron, did Yahweh show himself exceedingly angry, to destroy him, —so I prostrated myself, even in behalf of Aaron at that time.
Inú sì bí Olúwa sí Aaroni láti pa á run, nígbà náà ni mo tún gbàdúrà fún Aaroni náà.
21 And your sin which ye had made even the calf, took I and burned it up with fire, and pounded it very small, until it was fine as dust, —then cast I the dust thereof into the torrent that descended out of the mountain.
Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni mo sì mú ohun tí ó mú un yín dẹ́ṣẹ̀, àní ère ẹgbọrọ màlúù tí ẹ ti ṣe, mo sì fi iná sun ún, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni mo gún un, mo sì lọ̀ ọ́ lúúlúú bí eruku lẹ́búlẹ́bú, mo sì da ẹ̀lọ̀ rẹ̀ sínú odò tí ń sàn nísàlẹ̀ òkè.
22 Also, at Taberah, and at Massah, and at Kibroth-hataavah, a cause of provocation, became ye unto Yahweh.
Ẹ̀yin tún mú Olúwa bínú ní Tabera, Massa àti ní Kibirotu-Hattaafa.
23 Also when Yahweh sent you out of Kadesh-barnea saying, Go up and possess the land which I have given unto you then quarreled ye with the bidding of Yahweh your God, and trusted him not, neither hearkened unto his voice.
Nígbà tí Olúwa ran an yín jáde ní Kadeṣi-Barnea, Ó wí pé, “Ẹ gòkè lọ, kí ẹ sì gba ilẹ̀ náà tí mo fi fún un yín.” Ṣùgbọ́n ẹ ṣọ̀tẹ̀ sí òfin Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín. Ẹ kò gbẹ́kẹ̀lé e, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ẹ kò gbọ́ tirẹ̀.
24 Ye have been quarrelling, with Yahweh, —from the day that I first knew you.
Láti ìgbà tí mo ti mọ̀ yín ni ẹ ti ń ṣọ̀tẹ̀ sí Olúwa.
25 Thus, then lay I prostrate before Yahweh, the forty days and the forty nights that I did lie prostrate, —because Yahweh spake of destroying you.
Mo ti wólẹ̀ níwájú Olúwa fún ogójì ọ̀sán àti òru wọ̀nyí nítorí pé Olúwa sọ pé Òun yóò pa yín run.
26 Therefore I prostrated myself unto Yahweh and said, My Lord Yahweh! Do not destroy thy people even thine inheritance, which thou hast redeemed in thy greatness, —which thou hast brought forth out of Egypt with a firm hand.
Mo gbàdúrà sí Olúwa wí pé, “Olúwa Olódùmarè, má ṣe run àwọn ènìyàn rẹ, àní ogún rẹ tí o ti rà padà, nípa agbára rẹ tí o sì fi agbára ńlá mú wọn jáde láti Ejibiti wá.
27 Have remembrance of thy servants, of Abraham, of Isaac and of Jacob, —do not regard the obduracy of this people, or their lawlessness or their sin:
Rántí àwọn ìránṣẹ́ rẹ Abrahamu, Isaaki, àti Jakọbu. Fojú fo orí kunkun àwọn ènìyàn yìí, pẹ̀lú ìwà búburú àti ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ wọn.
28 lest the land out of which thou hast brought us forth say, Because Yahweh was not able to bring them into the land of which he had spoken to them, —and because he hated them, took he them forth to put them to death in the desert.
Bí bẹ́ẹ̀ kọ́, orílẹ̀-èdè tí ìwọ ti mú wa jáde wá yóò wí pé, ‘Torí pé Olúwa kò lè mú wọn lọ sí ilẹ̀ náà tí ó ti ṣèlérí fún wọn, àti pé ó ti kórìíra wọn, ni ó fi mú wọn jáde láti pa wọ́n ní aginjù.’
29 Yet, they, are thy people and thine inheritance, —whom thou hast brought forth with thy great strength, and with thy stretched-out arm.
Ṣùgbọ́n àwọn ènìyàn rẹ ni wọ́n, ogún rẹ tí o ti fi ọwọ́ agbára rẹ àti nínà ọwọ́ rẹ mú jáde.”
