1 Nígbà tí ìwọ bá wọ ilẹ̀ tí Olúwa Ọlọ́run rẹ ń fi fún ọ gẹ́gẹ́ bí ohun ìní tí ìwọ sì ti jogún, tí ìwọ sì ti ń gbé níbẹ̀,

“And when you will have entered into the land which the Lord your God will give to you to possess, and when you will have obtained it and are living within it:

2 mú díẹ̀ nínú ohun tí o pèsè láti inú erùpẹ̀ ilẹ̀ náà tí Olúwa Ọlọ́run rẹ ń fi fún ọ, kó wọn sínú agbọ̀n. Nígbà náà kí o lọ sí ibi tí Olúwa Ọlọ́run rẹ yóò yàn gẹ́gẹ́ bí ibi tí orúkọ rẹ̀ yóò máa gbé.

you shall take the first of all your crops, and place them in a basket, and you shall travel to the place which the Lord your God will choose, so that his name may be invoked there.

3 Kí o sì sọ fun àlùfáà tí ó wà ní ibi iṣẹ́ ní àsìkò náà, pé, “Mo sọ ọ́ di mí mọ̀ fún Olúwa Ọlọ́run rẹ pé mo ti wá sí ilẹ̀ tí Olúwa búra fún àwọn baba wa.”

And you shall approach the priest who will be in those days, and you shall say to him: ‘I profess this day, before the Lord your God, that I have entered into the land about which he swore to our fathers that he would give it to us.’

4 Àlùfáà yóò gbé agbọ̀n náà kúrò ní ọwọ́ rẹ, yóò sì gbé e kalẹ̀ níwájú pẹpẹ Olúwa Ọlọ́run rẹ.

And the priest, taking up the basket from your hand, shall place it before the altar of the Lord your God.

5 Nígbà náà ni ìwọ yóò sọ ní iwájú Olúwa Ọlọ́run rẹ pé, “Baba mi jẹ́ alárìnkiri ará Aramu, ó sì sọ̀kalẹ̀ wá sí Ejibiti pẹ̀lú ènìyàn díẹ̀, ó sì ń gbé níbẹ̀, ó sì wá di orílẹ̀-èdè olókìkí, alágbára, tí ó kún fún ọ̀pọ̀ ènìyàn.

And you shall say, in the sight of the Lord your God: ‘The Syrian pursued my father, who descended into Egypt, and he sojourned there in a very small number, and he increased into a great and strong nation and into an innumerable multitude.

6 Ṣùgbọ́n àwọn ará Ejibiti ṣe àìdára sí wa, wọ́n jẹ wá ní yà, wọ́n fún wa ní iṣẹ́ líle ṣe.

And the Egyptians afflicted us, and they persecuted us, imposing upon us the most grievous burdens.

7 Nígbà náà ni a kégbe pe Olúwa Ọlọ́run àwọn baba wa, Olúwa sì gbọ́ ohùn wa, ó sì rí ìrora, làálàá àti ìnira wa.

And we cried out to the Lord, the God of our fathers. He heard us, and he looked with favor upon our humiliation, and hardship, and distress.

8 Nígbà náà ni Olúwa mú wa jáde wá láti Ejibiti pẹ̀lú ọwọ́ agbára àti apá nínà, pẹ̀lú ẹ̀rù ńlá àti iṣẹ́ àmì àti iṣẹ́ ìyanu.

And he led us away from Egypt, with a strong hand and an outstretched arm, with a mighty terror, with signs and wonders.

9 Ó mú wa wá síbí, ó sì fún wa ní ilẹ̀ yìí, ilẹ̀ tí ó ń sàn fún wàrà àti oyin;

And he led us into this place, and he delivered to us the land flowing with milk and honey.

10 àti pé ní báyìí, mo mú àkọ́so ilẹ̀ tí ìwọ Olúwa ti fún mi wá.” Ìwọ yóò gbé agbọ̀n náà síwájú Olúwa Ọlọ́run rẹ, kí o sì wólẹ̀ níwájú u rẹ̀.

And because of this, I now offer the first fruits of the land which the Lord has given to me.’ And you shall leave them in the sight of the Lord your God, and you shall adore the Lord your God.

11 Ìwọ àti àwọn ọmọ Lefi àti àjèjì láàrín yín yóò máa yọ̀ nínú gbogbo oore tí Olúwa ti fi fún ọ àti fún àwọn ará ilé rẹ.

And you shall feast on all the good things which the Lord your God will give to you and to your house: you, and the Levite, and the new arrival who is with you.

12 Nígbà tí ìwọ bá ṣetán láti ya ìdámẹ́wàá gbogbo ohun tí o ti mú jáde ní ọdún kẹta sọ́tọ̀ sí apá kan. Ọdún ìdámẹ́wàá, ìwọ yóò fi fún ọmọ Lefi, àjèjì, aláìní baba àti opó, kí wọn kí ó lè jẹ ní àwọn ìlú rẹ, kí wọn sì yó.

When you will have completed the tithing of all your crops, in the third year of tithes, you shall give it to the Levite, and to the new arrival, and to the orphan, and to the widow, so that they may eat within your gates and be satisfied.

13 Nígbà náà ní kí o wí fún Olúwa Ọlọ́run rẹ pé, “Èmi ti mú ohun mímọ́ kúrò nínú ilé mi, èmi sì ti fi fún àwọn Lefi, àwọn àjèjì, àwọn aláìní baba àti àwọn opó, gẹ́gẹ́ bí ohun gbogbo tí ìwọ ti pàṣẹ. Èmi kò yípadà kúrò nínú àṣẹ rẹ bẹ́ẹ̀ ni èmi kò gbàgbé ọ̀kankan nínú wọn.

And you shall say, in the sight of the Lord your God: ‘I have taken what was sanctified from my house, and I have given it to the Levite, and to the new arrival, and to the orphan and the widow, just as you have commanded me. I have not transgressed your commandments, nor have I forgotten your precepts.

14 Èmi kò jẹ lára ohun mímọ́ ní ìgbà tí mo ń ṣọ̀fọ̀, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni èmi kò mu nínú wọn ní ìgbà tí mo wà ní àìmọ́, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni èmi kò fi nínú wọn fún òkú. Èmi ti ṣe ìgbọ́ràn sí Olúwa Ọlọ́run mi, èmi sì ti ṣe gbogbo ohun tí ó pàṣẹ fún mi.

I have not eaten from these things in my grief, nor have I separated them due to any kind of uncleanness, nor have I expended any of these things in funerals. I have obeyed the voice of the Lord my God, and I have done all things just as you have instructed me.

15 Wo ilẹ̀ láti ọ̀run wá, ibùgbé mímọ́ rẹ, kí o sì bùkún fún àwọn ènìyàn Israẹli, àti fún ilẹ̀ náà tí ìwọ ti fi fún wa, bí ìwọ ti búra fún àwọn baba ńlá wa, ilẹ̀ tí ó ń sàn fún wàrà àti fún oyin.”

Look with favor from your sanctuary and from your lofty habitation amid the heavens, and bless your people Israel and the land which you have given to us, just as you swore to our fathers, a land flowing with milk and honey.’

16 Olúwa Ọlọ́run rẹ pàṣẹ fún ọ ní òní láti máa tẹ̀lé àwọn ìlànà àti òfin, kí o sì máa ṣe wọ́n pẹ̀lú gbogbo ọkàn rẹ àti gbogbo àyà rẹ.

Today the Lord your God has instructed you to carry out these commandments and judgments, and to keep and fulfill them, with all your heart and with all your soul.

17 Ìwọ jẹ́wọ́ Olúwa ní òní pé Olúwa ni Ọlọ́run rẹ, àti pé ìwọ yóò máa rìn ní ọ̀nà rẹ̀ gbogbo, àti pé ìwọ yóò máa pa ìlànà rẹ̀, àṣẹ rẹ̀ àti òfin rẹ̀ mọ́, àti pé ìwọ yóò máa ṣe ìgbọ́ràn sí i.

Today, you have chosen the Lord to be your God, so that you may walk in his ways, and keep his ceremonies and commandments and judgments, and obey his command.

18 Ní òní ni Olúwa jẹ́wọ́ rẹ pé ìwọ ni ènìyàn òun, ilé ìṣúra rẹ̀ gẹ́gẹ́ bí òun ti ṣe ìlérí, àti pé ìwọ yóò máa pa gbogbo àṣẹ rẹ̀ mọ́.

Today, the Lord has chosen you, so that you may be his particular people, just as he has spoken to you, and so that you may keep all his precepts,

19 Òun sì jẹ́wọ́ pé, òun yóò gbé ọ sókè ju gbogbo orílẹ̀-èdè tí òun ti dá lọ, ní ìyìn, ní òkìkí àti ní ọlá; kí ìwọ kí ó le jẹ́ ènìyàn mímọ́ sí Olúwa Ọlọ́run rẹ gẹ́gẹ́ bí òun ti ṣe ìlérí.

and so that he may cause you to be more exalted than all the nations which he has created, for the sake of his own praise and name and glory, in order that you may be a holy people for the Lord your God, just as he has spoken.”
