Deuteronomy 27
1 Mose àti àwọn àgbàgbà Israẹli pàṣẹ fún àwọn ènìyàn pé, “Pa gbogbo àṣẹ tí mo fún ọ lónìí mọ́.
Moses/I, along with the other Israeli leaders, said this to the people: “Obey all the commandments that I am giving to you today.
2 Nígbà tí o bá ti kọjá a Jordani sí inú ilẹ̀ tí Olúwa Ọlọ́run rẹ ń fún ọ, gbé kalẹ̀ lára àwọn òkúta ńlá àti aṣọ ìlekè rẹ pẹ̀lú ẹfun.
[Soon] you will cross the Jordan [River] and enter the land that Yahweh, the God whom our ancestors [worshiped], promised to give to you. There, in that very fertile [IDM] land on the [west] side of the Jordan [River], set up some large stones [on Ebal Mountain], and cover them with plaster. Then write on those stones all these laws and teachings/instructions.
3 Kí ìwọ kí ó kọ gbogbo ọ̀rọ̀ òfin yìí sára wọn nígbà tí ìwọ bá ti ń rékọjá láti wọ ilẹ̀ tí Olúwa Ọlọ́run rẹ ń fún ọ, ilẹ̀ tí ó ń sàn fún wàrà àti oyin, gẹ́gẹ́ bí Olúwa Ọlọ́run àwọn baba yín ti ṣèlérí fún ọ.

5 Kọ́ pẹpẹ síbẹ̀ fún Olúwa Ọlọ́run rẹ, pẹpẹ òkúta. Má ṣe lo ohun èlò irin lórí wọn.
And build a stone altar there to offer sacrifices to Yahweh, but do not cut those stones with iron tools.
6 Kí ìwọ kí ó mọ pẹpẹ pẹ̀lú òkúta àìgbẹ́ fún Olúwa Ọlọ́run rẹ, kí ìwọ kí ó sì máa rú ẹbọ sísun ni orí rẹ̀ fún Olúwa Ọlọ́run rẹ.
The altar that you make to burn sacrifices to Yahweh our God must be made with uncut stones.
7 Rú ẹbọ àlàáfíà níbẹ̀ kí o jẹ wọ́n, kí o sì yọ̀ níwájú Olúwa Ọlọ́run rẹ.
And there you must sacrifice offerings to maintain fellowship with Yahweh, and you must eat [your share of those offerings] and rejoice/celebrate in the presence of Yahweh.
8 Kí o sì kọ gbogbo àwọn ọ̀rọ̀ òfin yìí ketekete sórí òkúta tí ó ti gbé kalẹ̀.”
And, when you write these laws on those stones, you must write them very clearly.”
9 Nígbà náà ni Mose àti àwọn àlùfáà tí wọ́n jẹ́ ọmọ Lefi, sọ fún Israẹli pé, “Ẹ dákẹ́ ẹ̀yin Israẹli, kí ẹ sì fetísílẹ̀! O ti wá di ènìyàn Olúwa Ọlọ́run rẹ báyìí.
Then Moses/I, along with the priests, said to all the Israeli people, “You Israeli people, be quiet and listen [to what I am saying]. Today you have become the people who belong to Yahweh, our God.
10 Gbọ́rọ̀ sí Olúwa Ọlọ́run rẹ kí o sì tẹ̀lé àṣẹ àti òfin rẹ̀ tí mo ń fi fún ọ lónìí.”
So, you must do what he tells you, and obey all the rules and regulations that I am giving to you today.”
11 Ní ọjọ́ kan náà Mose pàṣẹ fún àwọn ènìyàn pé.
On that same day Moses/I said to the Israeli people,
