< Deuteronomy 12 >
1 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.
These are the statutes and judgments, which all of you shall observe to do in the land, which the LORD God of your fathers gives you to possess it, all the days that all of you live upon the earth.
2 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.
All of you shall utterly destroy all the places, wherein the nations which all of you shall possess served their gods, upon the high mountains, and upon the hills, and under every green tree:
3 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.
And all of you shall overthrow their altars, and break their pillars, and burn their groves with fire; and all of you shall hew down the graven images of their gods, and destroy the names of them out of that place.
4 Ẹ kò gbọdọ̀ sin Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín bí i tiwọn.
All of you shall not do so unto the LORD your God.
5 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.
But unto the place which the LORD your God shall choose out of all your tribes to put his name there, even unto his habitation shall all of you seek, and thither you shall come:
6 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.
And thither all of you shall bring your burnt offerings, and your sacrifices, and your tithes, and heave offerings of your hand, and your vows, and your freewill offerings, and the firstlings of your herds and of your flocks:
7 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.
And there all of you shall eat before the LORD your God, and all of you shall rejoice in all that all of you put your hand unto, all of you and your households, wherein the LORD your God has blessed you.
8 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.
All of you shall not do after all the things that we do here this day, every man whatsoever is right in his own eyes.
9 Níwọ́n ìgbà tí ẹ ti dé ibi ìsinmi, àti ibi ogún tí Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín fún un yín.
For all of you are not as yet come to the rest and to the inheritance, which the LORD your God gives you.
10 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.
But when all of you go over Jordan, and dwell in the land which the LORD your God gives you to inherit, and when he gives you rest from all your enemies round about, so that all of you dwell in safety;
11 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.
Then there shall be a place which the LORD your God shall choose to cause his name to dwell there; thither shall all of you bring all that I command you; your burnt offerings, and your sacrifices, your tithes, and the heave offering of your hand, and all your choice vows which all of you vow unto the LORD:
12 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.
And all of you shall rejoice before the LORD your God, all of you, and your sons, and your daughters, and your male servants, and your maidservants, and the Levite that is within your gates; forasmuch as he has no part nor inheritance with you.
13 Ẹ ṣọ́ra kí ẹ má ṣe rú ẹbọ sísun yín ní ibikíbi tí ẹ̀yin fẹ́.
Take heed to yourself that you offer not your burnt offerings in every place that you see:
14 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.
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.
15 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.
Notwithstanding you may kill and eat flesh in all your gates, whatsoever your soul lusts after, according to the blessing of the LORD your God which he has given you: the unclean and the clean may eat thereof, as of the roebuck, and as of the hart.
16 Ṣùgbọ́n ẹ kò gbọdọ̀ jẹ ẹ̀jẹ̀ wọn, ẹ dà á sílẹ̀ bí omi.
Only all of you shall not eat the blood; all of you shall pour it upon the earth as water.
17 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.
You may not eat within your gates the tithe of your corn, or of your wine, or of your oil, or the firstlings of your herds or of your flock, nor any of your vows which you vow, nor your freewill offerings, or heave offering of your hand:
18 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.
But you must 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 manservant, and your maidservant, and the Levite that is within your gates: and you shall rejoice before the LORD your God in all that you put your hands unto.
19 Ẹ ṣọ́ra kí ẹ má ṣe gbàgbé àwọn Lefi, ní gbogbo ìgbà tí ẹ bá ń gbé ní ilẹ̀ ẹ yín.
Take heed to yourself that you forsake not the Levite as long as you live upon the earth.
20 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.
When the LORD your God shall enlarge your border, as he has promised you, and you shall say, I will eat flesh, because your soul longs to eat flesh; you may eat flesh, whatsoever your soul lusts after.
21 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.
If the place which the LORD your God has chosen to put his name there be too far from you, then you shall kill of your herd and of your flock, which the LORD has given you, as I have commanded you, and you shall eat in your gates whatsoever your soul lusts after.
22 Ẹ jẹ wọ́n bí ẹ ó ti jẹ èsúró tàbí àgbọ̀nrín, ẹni tí a kà sí mímọ́ àti aláìmọ́ ni ó lè jẹ ẹ́.
Even as the roebuck and the hart is eaten, so you shall eat them: the unclean and the clean shall eat of them alike.
23 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.
Only be sure that you eat not the blood: for the blood is the life; and you may not eat the life with the flesh.
24 Ẹ kò gbọdọ̀ jẹ ẹ̀jẹ̀, ẹ dà á sílẹ̀ bí omi.
You shall not eat it; you shall pour it upon the earth as water.
25 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.
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 sight of the LORD.
26 Ẹ mú àwọn ohun tí ẹ yà sọ́tọ̀ àti àwọn ẹ̀jẹ́ yín, kí ẹ sì lọ sí ibi tí Olúwa yóò yàn.
Only your holy things which you have, and your vows, you shall take, and go unto the place which the LORD shall choose:
27 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.
And you shall offer your burnt offerings, the flesh and the blood, upon the altar of the LORD your God: and the blood of your sacrifices shall be poured out upon the altar of the LORD your God, and you shall eat the flesh.
28 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.
Observe and hear all these words which I command you, that it may go well with you, and with your children after you for ever, when you do that which is good and right in the sight of the LORD your God.
29 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.
When the LORD your God shall cut off the nations from before you, where you go to possess them, and you succeed them, and dwell in their land;
30 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”.
Take heed to yourself that you be not snared by following them, after that they be destroyed from before you; and that you enquire not after their gods, saying, How did these nations serve their gods? even so will I do likewise.
31 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.
You shall not do so unto the LORD your God: for every abomination to the LORD, which he hates, have they done unto their gods; for even their sons and their daughters they have burnt in the fire to their gods.
32 Ẹ rí i pé ẹ̀ ń ṣe gbogbo ohun tí mo ti pàṣẹ fún un yín. Ẹ má ṣe fi kún un, ẹ má sì ṣe yọ kúrò níbẹ̀.
Whatsoever I command you, observe to do it: you shall not add thereto, nor diminish from it.
