Leviticus 26
1 [Yahweh also said this to Moses/me on Sinai Mountain]: “Do not make idols or set up statues of false gods or sacred stones [to worship other gods]. And do not put on your property a stone that has been shaped [to resemble a false god] and bow down to [worship] it. [You must worship only] me, Yahweh, your God.
“‘Ẹ̀yin kò gbọdọ̀ mọ ère òrìṣà, tàbí kí ẹ̀yin gbe ère kalẹ̀ tàbí kí ẹ̀yin gbẹ́ ère òkúta: kí ẹ̀yin má sì gbẹ́ òkúta tí ẹ̀yin yóò gbé kalẹ̀ láti sìn. Èmi ni Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín.
2 “Honor the Sabbath days and revere my Sacred Tent, because I, Yahweh, [live there].
“‘Ẹ pa ọjọ́ ìsinmi mi mọ́ kí ẹ̀yin sì bọ̀wọ̀ fún ibi mímọ́ mi. Èmi ni Olúwa.
3 “If you carefully obey all my commands [DOU],
“‘Bí ẹ̀yin bá tẹ̀lé àṣẹ mi, tí ẹ̀yin sì ṣọ́ra láti pa òfin mi mọ́.
4 I will send rain for you at the proper/right times, in order that crops will grow on your land and there will be plenty of fruit on your trees.
Èmi yóò rọ̀jò fún yín ní àkókò rẹ̀, kí ilẹ̀ yín le mú èso rẹ̀ jáde bí ó tí yẹ kí àwọn igi eléso yín so èso.
5 You will continue [harvesting and] threshing [grain] until it is time to harvest grapes, and you will continue to harvest grapes until it is time to start planting [things in the following year]. And you will have all the food that you want to eat, and you will live safely in your land.
Èrè oko yín yóò pọ̀ dé bi pé ẹ ó máa pa ọkà títí di àsìkò ìkórè igi eléso, ẹ̀yin yóò sì máa gbé ní ilẹ̀ yín láìléwu.
6 “[If you obey all my laws], there will be peace in your country, and when you lie down [to sleep], nothing will cause you to be afraid. I will get rid of the dangerous animals in your country, and there will no wars [MTY] in your country.
“‘Èmi yóò fún yín ní àlàáfíà ní ilẹ̀ yín, ẹ̀yin yóò sì sùn láìsí ìbẹ̀rù ẹnikẹ́ni. Èmi yóò mú kí gbogbo ẹranko búburú kúrò ní ilẹ̀ náà, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni idà kì yóò la ilẹ̀ yín já.
7 You will pursue your enemies and kill them with your swords:
Ẹ̀yin yóò lé àwọn ọ̀tá yín, wọn yóò sì tipa idà kú.
8 Five of you will pursue 100 of them, and 100 of you will pursue 1,000 of them and kill them with your swords.
Àwọn márùn-ún péré nínú yín yóò máa ṣẹ́gun ọgọ́rùn-ún ènìyàn, àwọn ọgọ́rùn-ún yóò sì máa ṣẹ́gun ẹgbẹ̀rún mẹ́wàá, àwọn ọ̀tá yín yóò tipa idà kú níwájú yín.
9 “[If you obey all my laws], I will bless you and cause you to have many children [DOU]. And I will do what I said that I would do in the agreement that I made with you.
“‘Èmi yóò fi ojúrere wò yín, Èmi yóò mú kí ẹ bí sí i, Èmi yóò jẹ́ kí ẹ pọ̀ sí i, Èmi yóò sì pa májẹ̀mú mi mọ́ pẹ̀lú yín.
10 When you are still eating food from the harvest from the previous year, it will be necessary for you to throw away some of it to make space for the new harvest.
Àwọn èrè oko yín yóò pọ̀ tó bẹ́ẹ̀ tí ẹ̀yin ó máa jẹ èrè ọdún tí ó kọjá, ẹ̀yin ó sì kó wọn jáde, kí ẹ̀yin lè rí ààyè kó tuntun sí.
11 I will live among you in my Sacred Tent, and I will never reject you.
Èmi yóò kọ́ àgọ́ mímọ́ mi sí àárín yín. Èmi kò sì ní kórìíra yín.
12 I will walk among you and continue to be your God, and you will continue to be my people.
Èmi yóò wà pẹ̀lú yín, Èmi yóò máa jẹ́ Ọlọ́run yín, ẹ̀yin yóò sì máa jẹ́ ènìyàn mi.
13 I am Yahweh your God, the one who brought you out of Egypt in order that you would no longer be slaves of the people of Egypt. [When you were there, you were treated as though you were animals that worked for the people of Egypt, but] [MET] I broke the bars of the (yokes/frames that were put around your necks) and enabled you to walk with your heads up.”
Èmi ni Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín tí ó mú yín jáde kúrò ní ilẹ̀ Ejibiti, kí ẹ̀yin má ba à jẹ́ ẹrú fún wọn mọ́. Mo sì já ìdè àjàgà yín, mo sì mú kí ẹ̀yin máa rìn gẹ́gẹ́ bí ẹni tí a gbé lórí sókè.
14 “But if you will not heed me and obey all these commands,
“‘Bí ẹ̀yin kò bá fetí sí mi tí ẹ̀yin kò sì ṣe gbogbo òfin wọ̀nyí.
15 and if you reject [DOU] my decrees and laws, and do not do [DOU] what I commanded you to do in the agreement that I made with you,
Bí ẹ̀yin bá kọ àṣẹ mi tí ẹ̀yin sì kórìíra òfin mi, tí ẹ̀yin sì kùnà láti pa ìlànà mi mọ́, nípa èyí tí ẹ̀yin ti ṣẹ̀ sí májẹ̀mú mi.
16 these are the things that I will do to you: I will suddenly cause there to be disasters that will ruin you. You will have diseases that cannot be cured, and fevers that will cause you to become blind and will slowly kill you. It will be useless for you to plant seeds, because your enemies will eat the crops that grow.
Èmi yóò ṣe àwọn nǹkan wọ̀nyí sí yín, Èmi yóò mú ìpayà òjijì bá yín: àwọn ààrùn afiniṣòfò, àti ibà afọ́nilójú, tí í pa ni díẹ̀díẹ̀. Ẹ̀yin yóò gbin èso ilẹ̀ yín lásán, nítorí pé àwọn ọ̀tá yín ni yóò jẹ gbogbo ohun tí ẹ̀yin ti gbìn.
17 I will reject/abandon you [IDM], with the result that you will be defeated by your enemies. Then those who hate you will rule you, and [you will be so terrified that] you will run away even when no one is pursuing you.
Èmi yóò dojúkọ yín títí tí ẹ̀yin ó fi di ẹni ìkọlù; àwọn tí ó kórìíra yín ni yóò sì ṣe àkóso lórí yín. Ìbẹ̀rù yóò mú yín dé bi pé ẹ̀yin yóò máa sá káàkiri nígbà tí ẹnikẹ́ni kò lé yín.
18 “If you still will not heed me after all those things happen to you, I will continue to punish you again and again for the sins that you have committed.
“‘Bí ẹ̀yin kò bá wá gbọ́ tèmi lẹ́yìn gbogbo èyí, Èmi yóò fi kún ìyà yín ní ìlọ́po méje nítorí ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ yín.
19 I will cause you to no longer be stubborn and proud; I will cause [no rain to fall; it will be as though] [MET] the sky is made of iron; and the ground will be [as hard as] brass [MET].
Èmi yóò fọ́ agbára ìgbéraga yín, ojú ọ̀run yóò le koko bí irin, ilẹ̀ yóò sì le bí idẹ (òjò kò ní rọ̀: ilẹ̀ yín yóò sì le).
20 You will uselessly work very hard [to plant seeds], because crops will not grow in the hard soil in your fields, and fruit will not grow on your trees.
Ẹ ó máa lo agbára yín lásán torí pé ilẹ̀ yín kì yóò so èso, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni àwọn igi yín kì yóò so èso pẹ̀lú.
21 “If you continue to oppose me and refuse to heed me, I will cause you to experience disasters again and again, like you deserve to experience because of your sins.
“‘Bí ẹ bá tẹ̀síwájú láì gbọ́ tèmi, Èmi yóò tún fa ìjayà yín le ní ìgbà méje gẹ́gẹ́ bí ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ yín.
22 I will send wild animals to attack you, and they will kill your little children and destroy your cattle. There will be very few of you who will remain alive, with the result that there will be very few [HYP] people walking on the roads in your country.
Èmi yóò rán àwọn ẹranko búburú sí àárín yín, wọn yóò sì pa àwọn ọmọ yín, wọn yóò run agbo ẹran yín, díẹ̀ nínú yín ni wọn yóò ṣẹ́kù kí àwọn ọ̀nà yín lè di ahoro.
23 “When you experience those things that I do to punish you, if you still do not pay attention to me, and if you continue to oppose me,
“‘Bí ẹ kò bá tún yípadà lẹ́yìn gbogbo ìjìyà wọ̀nyí, tí ẹ sì tẹ̀síwájú láti lòdì sí mi.
24 I myself will oppose you, and I will punish you for your sins again and again.
Èmi náà yóò lòdì sí yín. Èmi yóò tún fa ìjìyà yín le ní ìlọ́po méje ju ti ìṣáájú.
25 I will send [foreign] [MTY] to punish you for not doing the things that I commanded you to do in the agreement that I made with you. If you [try to escape from your enemies by] shutting yourselves in your cities [that have walls around them], I will cause you to experience plagues, and I will allow your enemies to capture [IDM] you.
Èmi yóò mú idà wá bá yín nítorí ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ yín láti fi gbẹ̀san májẹ̀mú mi tí ẹ kò pamọ́. Bí ẹ ba sálọ sí ìlú yín fún ààbò, Èmi yóò rán àjàkálẹ̀-ààrùn sí àárín yín, àwọn ọ̀tá yín, yóò sì ṣẹ́gun yín.
26 When I cut off your food supply, there will be very little flour with which to make bread. As a result, ten women will be able to bake all their bread in [only] one oven. [When the bread is baked], each woman will divide it [among the members of her family, but there will be very little for each one], and when they have eaten all of it, they will still be hungry.
Èmi yóò dá ìpèsè oúnjẹ yín dúró, dé bi pé: inú ààrò kan ni obìnrin mẹ́wàá yóò ti máa se oúnjẹ yín. Òsùwọ̀n ni wọn yóò fi máa yọ oúnjẹ yín, ẹ ó jẹ ṣùgbọ́n, ẹ kò ní yó.
27 “After all those things happen, if you still do not heed me, if you still oppose me,
“‘Lẹ́yìn gbogbo èyí, bí ẹ kò bá gbọ́ tèmi, tí ẹ sì lòdì sí mi,
28 I will be very angry with you, and I will oppose you, and I myself will punish you for your sins again and again.
ní ìbínú mi, èmi yóò korò sí yín, èmi tìkára mi yóò fìyà jẹ yín ní ìgbà méje nítorí ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ yín.
29 [You will be extremely hungry, with the result that] you will [kill] your sons and daughters and eat their flesh.
Ebi náà yóò pa yín dé bi pé ẹ ó máa jẹ ẹran-ara àwọn ọmọ yín ọkùnrin, àti àwọn ọmọ yín obìnrin.
30 I will cause the shrines [where you worship idols] on hilltops to be destroyed. I will smash the altars where you burn incense [to worship your gods], and I will cause your corpses to be piled on the lifeless statues of your gods. And I will detest you.
Èmi yóò wó àwọn pẹpẹ òrìṣà yín, lórí òkè níbi tí ẹ ti ń sìn, Èmi yóò sì kó òkú yín jọ, sórí àwọn òkú òrìṣà yín. Èmi ó sì kórìíra yín.
31 I will cause your cities to become heaps of ruins, and I will cause the buildings that are dedicated to the worship of your gods to be smashed. And I will not be pleased at all with the aroma of your offerings [that are burned on the altar].
Èmi yóò sọ àwọn ìlú yín di ahoro, èmi yóò sì ba àwọn ilé mímọ́ yín jẹ́. Èmi kì yóò sì gbọ́ òórùn dídùn yín mọ́.
32 I will completely ruin your country, with the result that even your enemies who capture it will be shocked/appalled [when they see it].
Èmi yóò pa ilẹ̀ yín run dé bi pé ẹnu yóò ya àwọn ọ̀tá yín tí ó bá gbé ilẹ̀ náà.
33 I will enable [your enemies to kill you with] their swords, and I will cause the rest of you to be scattered among other nations. Your country will be ruined and your cities will become ruins.
Èmi yóò sì tú yín ká sínú àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè, Èmi yóò sì yọ idà tì yín lẹ́yìn, ilẹ̀ yín yóò sì di ahoro, àwọn ìlú yín ni a ó sì parun.
34 After that happens, as long as you are living in your enemies’ countries, your land will be allowed to rest, like you should have allowed it to rest every seven years.
Ilẹ̀ náà yóò ní ìsinmi fún gbogbo ìgbà tí ẹ fi wà ní ilẹ̀ àjèjì tí ẹ kò fi lò ó. Ilẹ̀ náà yóò sinmi láti fi dípò ọdún tí ẹ kọ̀ láti fún un.
35 All the time that your land is desolate, it will be able to rest, like you did not enable it to rest during all the years that you lived there.
Níwọ́n ìgbà tí ẹ kò lò ó, ilẹ̀ náà yóò ní ìsinmi tí kò ní lákòókò ìsinmi rẹ̀ lákokò tí ẹ fi ń gbé orí rẹ̀.
36 “As for you people who will remain alive in the countries to which your enemies [will have taken you], I will cause you to become so afraid that when you hear the sound of leaves being blown by the wind, you will run away. You will run like [SIM] you are running from [a man carrying] a sword, and you will fall down, even though no one is pursuing you.
“‘Èmi yóò jẹ́ kí ó burú fún àwọn tí ó wà ní ilẹ̀ ìgbèkùn dé bi pé ìró ewé tí ń mì lásán yóò máa lé wọn sá. Ẹ ó máa sá bí ẹni tí ń sá fún idà. Ẹ ó sì ṣubú láìsí ọ̀tá láyìíká yín.
37 You will stumble over each other. So you will not be able to stand and fight your enemies.

38 Many of you will die in the countries that belong to your enemies [DOU].
Ẹ̀yin yóò ṣègbé láàrín àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè abọ̀rìṣà. Ilẹ̀ ọ̀tá yín yóò sì jẹ yín run.
39 And those of you who remain alive will slowly die and rot in the countries of your enemies because of your sins and because of the sins of your ancestors.
Àwọn tí ó ṣẹ́kù nínú yín ni yóò ṣòfò dànù ní ilẹ̀ ọ̀tá yín torí ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ yín àti ti àwọn baba ńlá yín.
40 “But your descendants must confess their sins and the sins that their ancestors committed. Their ancestors acted unfaithfully toward me and were hostile to me, with the result that I forced them to go to the countries that belonged to their enemies. But when your descendants humble themselves [SYN] and stop being very stubborn [IDM] and accept being punished for their sins,
“‘Bí wọ́n bá jẹ́wọ́ ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ wọn àti ti baba ńlá wọn, ìwà ìṣọ̀tẹ̀ wọn àti bí wọ́n ti ṣe lòdì sí mi.

42 I will remember the agreement that I made with [your ancestors] Abraham and Isaac and Jacob, and [what I promised them about] this land.
Nígbà náà ni Èmi yóò rántí májẹ̀mú mi pẹ̀lú Jakọbu àti pẹ̀lú Isaaki àti pẹ̀lú Abrahamu, Èmi yóò sì rántí ilẹ̀ náà.
43 But [before that happens], you will be forced to leave your land, with the result that the land will be able to rest while it is desolate and while the people are being punished for rejecting my laws and hating my decrees [DOU].
Àwọn ènìyàn náà yóò sì fi ilẹ̀ náà sílẹ̀, yóò sì ní ìsinmi rẹ̀ nígbà tí ó bá wà lófo láìsí wọn níbẹ̀. Wọn yóò sì jìyà ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ wọn torí pé wọ́n kọ àwọn òfin mi. Wọ́n sì kórìíra àwọn àṣẹ mi.
44 But when that happens, I will still not reject them or hate them and destroy them completely. I will not cancel the agreement that I made with them; for I am still Yahweh their God.

45 I will (remember/never forget) the agreement that I made with your ancestors when I brought them out of Egypt, in order that the people of all nations will know that I, Yahweh, [will continue to] be your God.”
Nítorí wọn, èmi ó rántí májẹ̀mú mi tí mo ti ṣe pẹ̀lú baba ńlá wọn. Àwọn tí mo mú jáde kúrò ní ilẹ̀ Ejibiti lójú gbogbo àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè láti jẹ́ Ọlọ́run wọn. Èmi ni Olúwa.’”
46 Those are the decrees, the laws, and the regulations [DOU] that Yahweh established on Sinai Mountain between himself and the Israeli people by [giving them to] Moses/me [to tell to them].
Ìwọ̀nyí ni òfin àti ìlànà tí Olúwa fún Mose ní orí òkè Sinai láàrín òun àti àwọn ọmọ Israẹli.
