“I have now told you about the ways that Yahweh our God will bless you [if you obey him] and the ways that he will curse you [if you disobey him]. I am saying that you must choose which you want. But when [you choose not to obey his laws], some day you will be living in the countries to which he will scatter you, and you will remember [what I told you].
2 àti nígbà tí ìwọ àti àwọn ọmọ rẹ bá yípadà sí Olúwa Ọlọ́run rẹ tí o sì gbọ́rọ̀ sí pẹ̀lú gbogbo àyà rẹ àti gbogbo ọkàn rẹ gẹ́gẹ́ bí gbogbo ohun tí mo ti paláṣẹ fún un yín lónìí.
Then, if you return to Yahweh our God and faithfully [IDM] obey all that I have today commanded you to do,
3 Nígbà náà ni Olúwa Ọlọ́run rẹ yóò mú ohun ìní rẹ bọ̀ sípò yóò sì ṣàánú fún ọ, yóò sì tún ṣà yín jọ láti gbogbo orílẹ̀-èdè níbi tí ó ti fọ́n yín ká sí.
he will be merciful to you. He will bring you back from the nations to which he scattered you, and he will cause you to be prosperous again.
4 Bí ó tilẹ̀ jẹ́ pé ó ti lé ẹni rẹ kan sí ilẹ̀ tí ó jìnnà jù lábẹ́ ọ̀run, láti ibẹ̀ Olúwa Ọlọ́run rẹ yóò ṣà yín jọ yóò sì tún mú u yín padà.
Even if you have been scattered to the most distant places on the earth, Yahweh our God will gather you from there and bring you back [to your land].
5 Yóò mú ọ wá sí ilẹ̀ tí ó jẹ́ ti àwọn baba yín, ìwọ yóò sì mú ìní níbẹ̀. Olúwa yóò mú ọ wà ní àlàáfíà kíkún, yóò mú ọ pọ̀ sí i ju àwọn baba yín lọ.
He will enable you to possess again the land where your ancestors lived. And he will cause you to be more prosperous and more numerous than you are now.
6 Olúwa Ọlọ́run rẹ yóò kọ ọkàn rẹ ní ilà àti ọkàn àwọn ọmọ yín, nítorí kí o lè fẹ́ ẹ pẹ̀lú gbogbo àyà rẹ pẹ̀lú gbogbo ọkàn rẹ, àti ayé rẹ.
Yahweh our God will change [MET] your inner beings, with the result that you will love him more than you love anything else and want to do only what he wants you to do. And then you will continue to live in that land.
7 Olúwa Ọlọ́run rẹ yóò mú gbogbo ègún yín wá sórí àwọn ọ̀tá à rẹ tí wọ́n kórìíra àti tí wọ́n ṣe inúnibíni rẹ.
Yahweh our God will cause your enemies and those who oppressed/persecuted you to experience all the disasters that I have told you about.
8 Ìwọ yóò tún gbọ́rọ̀ sí Olúwa àti tẹ̀lé gbogbo àṣẹ rẹ̀ tí mò ń fún ọ lónìí.
You will do what Yahweh wants you to do, as you did before, and you will obey all the commands that I have given to you today.
9 Nígbà náà ni Olúwa Ọlọ́run rẹ yóò mú ọ ṣe rere nínú gbogbo iṣẹ́ ọwọ́ ọ̀ rẹ, àti nínú gbogbo ọmọ inú rẹ, agbo ẹran ọ̀sìn rẹ àti èso ilẹ̀ rẹ. Olúwa yóò tún mú inú dídùn sínú rẹ yóò sì mú ọ ṣe déédé, gẹ́gẹ́ bí ó ti fi inú dídùn sínú àwọn baba rẹ.
Yahweh our God will cause you to be very successful in all that you do. You will have many children [IDM], and a lot of cattle, and you will have abundant crops. He will again be happy to enable you to prosper, just like he was happy to enable your ancestors to prosper.
10 Bí o bá gbọ́ ti Olúwa Ọlọ́run rẹ tí o sì pa òfin rẹ̀ mọ́ àti àṣẹ tí a kọ sínú ìwé òfin yìí kí o sì yípadà sí Olúwa Ọlọ́run rẹ pẹ̀lú gbogbo àyà rẹ àti pẹ̀lú gbogbo ọkàn rẹ.
[But he will do those things only] if you do what he has told you to do, and if you obey all his rules and regulations that I have written about [in this scroll], and if you will love him more than you love anything else and want to do only what he wants you to do.
11 Nítorí àṣẹ yìí tí mo pa fún ọ lónìí, kò ṣòro jù fún ọ, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni kò kọjá agbára rẹ.
The commands that I am giving to you today are not very difficult for you [to obey], and they are not [difficult to know].
12 Kò sí ní ọ̀run, tí ìwọ kò bá fi wí pé, “Ta ni yóò gòkè lọ sí ọ̀run fún wa, tí yóò sì mú wa fún wa, kí àwa lè gbọ́, kí a sì le ṣe é?”
They are not in heaven, with the result that you need to say, ‘(Who will need to go up to heaven for us to bring them [down here to us] in order that we can hear them and obey them?/Someone will need to go up to heaven for us to bring them [down here to us] in order that we can hear them and obey them.)’ [RHQ]
13 Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni kò sí ní ìhà kejì Òkun, tí ìwọ ìbá fi wí pé, “Ta ni yóò rékọjá òkun lọ fún wa, tí yóò sì mú un wá fún wa, kí àwa lè gbọ́ ọ, kí a si le ṣe é?”
And they are not on the other side of the sea, with the result that you need to say, ‘(Who will need to cross the sea for us and bring them back to us, in order that we can hear them and obey them?/Someone will need to cross the sea for us and bring them back to us, in order that we can hear them and obey them.)’ [RHQ]
14 Kì í ṣe bẹ́ẹ̀, ọ̀rọ̀ náà súnmọ́ tòsí rẹ, ó wà ní ẹnu rẹ àti ní ọkàn rẹ kí ìwọ lè máa ṣe é.
[You do not need to do that because] his commands are here with you. You know them [MTY] and you have (memorized them/put them in your minds). So you can [easily] obey them.
15 Wò ó mo gbé kalẹ̀ síwájú u yín lónìí, ìyè àti àlàáfíà, ikú àti ìparun.
So listen! Today I am allowing you to choose between [doing what is] evil and [doing what is] good, between what will enable you to live [for a long time] and [what will cause you] to die [while you are still young].
16 Ní èyí tí mo pàṣẹ fún ọ ní òní láti máa fẹ́ Olúwa Ọlọ́run rẹ, láti máa rìn ní ọ̀nà rẹ̀ àti láti máa pa àṣẹ rẹ̀, àti ìlànà rẹ̀, àti ìdájọ́ rẹ̀ mọ́, kí ìwọ kí ó lè yè, kí ó sì máa bí sí i, kí Olúwa Ọlọ́run lè bù si fún ọ ní ilẹ̀ náà, ní ibi tí ìwọ ń lọ láti gbà á.
[I say again], if you obey the commands of Yahweh our God that I am giving to you today, and if you love him and conduct your lives as he wants you to do, and if you obey all his rules and regulations, you will prosper and become very numerous, and Yahweh our God will bless you in the land that you are about to enter and possess.
17 Ṣùgbọ́n tí ọkàn an yín bá yí padà tí ìwọ kò sì ṣe ìgbọ́ràn, àti bí o bá fà, lọ láti foríbalẹ̀ fún ọlọ́run mìíràn àti sìn wọ́n,
But if you turn away [from Yahweh] and refuse to heed what he says, and if you allow yourselves to be led away to worship other gods,
18 èmi ń sọ fún un yín lónìí yìí pé ìwọ yóò parun láìsí àní àní. O kò ní í gbé pẹ́ ní ilẹ̀ tí ìwọ ń kọjá Jordani láti gbà àti láti ní.
I am warning you today that you will [soon] die. You will not live for a long time in the land that you are about to cross the Jordan [River] to enter and possess.
19 Èmi pe ọ̀run àti ilẹ̀ láti jẹ́rìí tì yín ní òní pé, èmi fi ìyè àti ikú, ìbùkún àti ègún síwájú rẹ: nítorí náà yan ìyè, kí ìwọ kí ó lè yè, ìwọ àti irú-ọmọ rẹ,
I am requesting that [everyone in] heaven and the earth testify to you, that today I am allowing you to choose whether you [want to] live for a long time or to soon die, whether [you want Yahweh to] bless you or to curse you. So choose to live.
20 kí ìwọ kí ó le máa fẹ́ Olúwa Ọlọ́run rẹ, fetísílẹ̀ sí ohùn un rẹ̀, kí o sì dúró ṣinṣin nínú rẹ̀. Nítorí Olúwa ni ìyè rẹ, yóò sì fún ọ ní ọdún púpọ̀ ní ilẹ̀ tí ó ti búra láti fi fún àwọn baba rẹ Abrahamu, Isaaki àti Jakọbu.
[Choose to] love Yahweh our God, and to obey him [MTY], and to (be faithful to/have a close relationship with) him. If you do that, you and your descendants will live for a long time in the land that Yahweh solemnly promised to your ancestors Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, that he would give to them.”
