Deuteronomy 32
1 Fetísílẹ̀, ẹ̀yin ọ̀run, èmi yóò sọ̀rọ̀; ẹ gbọ́, ìwọ ayé, ọ̀rọ̀ ẹnu mi.
Heaven, listen as I speak; Earth, hear what I'm saying.
2 Jẹ́ kí ẹ̀kọ́ ọ̀ mi máa rọ̀ bí òjò, kí àwọn ọ̀rọ̀ mi máa sọ̀kalẹ̀ bí ìrì, bí òjò wíníwíní sára ewéko tuntun, bí ọ̀wààrà òjò sára ohun ọ̀gbìn.
May my teaching fall gently like the rain; may my words drop lightly like the dew, like soft rain on new grass, like spring showers on growing plants.
3 Èmi yóò kókìkí orúkọ Olúwa. Ẹyin títóbi Ọlọ́run wa!
I will praise the Lord's character. Tell everyone how great he is!
4 Òun ni àpáta, iṣẹ́ ẹ rẹ̀ jẹ́ pípé, gbogbo ọ̀nà an rẹ̀ jẹ́ òdodo. Ọlọ́run olóòtítọ́ tí kò ṣe àṣìṣe kan, Ó dúró ṣinṣin, òdodo àti òtítọ́ ni òun.
He is the Rock. Everything he does is perfect, for all his ways are right. He is the trustworthy God who is never unjust; he is fair and honest.
5 Wọ́n ti ṣe iṣẹ́ ìbàjẹ́ sọ́dọ̀ ọ rẹ̀; fún ìtìjú u wọn, wọn kì í ṣe ọmọ rẹ̀ mọ́, ṣùgbọ́n ìran tí ó yí sí apá kan tí ó sì dorí kodò.
His children have acted immorally towards him; so they are no longer his children because of their sinful stains. They are a perverse and corrupt people.
6 Ṣé báyìí ni ẹ̀yin yóò ṣe san an fún Olúwa, ẹ̀yin aṣiwèrè àti aláìgbọ́n ènìyàn? Ǹjẹ́ òun kọ́ ni baba yín, Ẹlẹ́dàá yín, tí ó dá a yín tí ó sì mọ yín?
Is this any way to repay the Lord, you foolish, stupid people? Isn't he your Father who created you? Isn't he the one who turned you into a nation and made you strong?
7 Rántí ìgbà láéláé; wádìí àwọn ìran tí ó ti kọjá. Béèrè lọ́wọ́ baba à rẹ yóò sì sọ fún ọ, àwọn àgbàgbà rẹ, wọn yóò sì ṣàlàyé fún ọ.
Remember the olden days; think about times long ago. God and ask your father, and he will explain them to you. Talk to your elders, and they will let you know.
8 Nígbà tí Ọ̀gá-ògo fi ogún àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè fún wọn, nígbà tí ó pín onírúurú ènìyàn, ó sì gbé ààlà kalẹ̀ fún àwọn ènìyàn gẹ́gẹ́ bí iye ọmọkùnrin Israẹli.
The Most High gave the nations their lands when he divided the human race; he fixed their borders depending on their gods.
9 Nítorí ìpín Olúwa ni àwọn ènìyàn an rẹ̀, Jakọbu ni ìpín ìní i rẹ̀.
But the Lord's people are his, Israel is his chosen one.
10 Ní aginjù ni ó ti rí i, ní aginjù níbi tí ẹranko kò sí. Ó yíká, ó sì tọ́jú rẹ̀, ó pa á mọ́ bí ẹyin ojú u rẹ̀.
He found you in a desert land, in a desolate wasteland of whirlwinds. He protected you; he cared for you; he looked after you as the one he loved the most.
11 Bí idì ti í ru ìtẹ́ rẹ̀ ti ó sì ń rábàbà sórí ọmọ rẹ̀, tí ó na ìyẹ́ apá rẹ̀ láti gbé wọn ki ó sì gbé wọn sórí ìyẹ́ apá rẹ̀.
Like an eagle watching over its nest, hovering over its chicks, he spread his wings and picked you up and carried you along.
12 Olúwa ṣamọ̀nà; kò sì sí ọlọ́run àjèjì pẹ̀lú rẹ̀.
The Lord was the only one who led you; no foreign god was with him.
13 Ó mú gun ibi gíga ayé ó sì fi èso oko bọ́ ọ. Ó sì jẹ́ kí ó mú oyin láti inú àpáta wá, àti òróró láti inú akọ òkúta wá.
The Lord gave you the high country to rule, and fed you with the crops of the field to eat. He sustained you with honey from the rock and olive oil from the flinty crag,
14 Pẹ̀lú u wàràǹkàṣì àti wàrà àgùntàn àti ti àgbò ẹran àti pẹ̀lú ọ̀rá ọ̀dọ́-àgùntàn àti ewúrẹ́, pẹ̀lú àgbò irú u ti Baṣani tí ó sì mu ẹ̀jẹ̀ èso àjàrà, àní àti wáìnì.
with yogurt from the herd and milk from the flock, with the fat of lambs, with rams from Bashan, and goats, along with the best wheat. You drank the wine made from the best grapes.
15 Jeṣuruni sanra tán ó sì tàpá; ìwọ sanra tán, ìwọ ki tan, ọ̀rá sì bò ọ́ tán. O kọ Ọlọ́run tí ó dá ọ o sì kọ àpáta ìgbàlà rẹ.
But Israel, you grew fat and rebelled—fat, overweight, and bloated with food. You abandoned the God who made you and despised the Rock of your salvation.
16 Wọ́n sì fi òrìṣà mú un jowú, ohun ìríra ni wọ́n fi mú un bínú.
You made the Lord jealous by worshiping foreign gods; you made him angry with such disgusting practices.
17 Wọ́n rú ẹbọ sí iwin búburú, tí kì í ṣe Ọlọ́run, ọlọ́run tí wọn kò mọ̀ rí, ọlọ́run tí ó ṣẹ̀ṣẹ̀ farahàn láìpẹ́, ọlọ́run tí àwọn baba yín kò bẹ̀rù.
You offered sacrifices to demons instead of God, to gods you didn't know anything about, to brand-new gods that your forefathers didn't worship.
18 Ìwọ kò rántí àpáta, tí ó bí ọ; o sì gbàgbé Ọlọ́run tí ó dá ọ.
You dismissed the Rock who fathered you; you forgot the God who gave birth to you.
19 Olúwa sì rí èyí ó sì kọ̀ wọ́n, nítorí tí ó ti bínú nítorí ìwà ìmúnibínú àwọn ọmọkùnrin àti ọmọbìnrin rẹ.
The Lord rejected them when he saw this; his sons and daughters made him angry.
20 Ó sì wí pé, “Èmi yóò pa ojú mi mọ́ kúrò lára wọn, èmi yóò sì wò ó bí ìgbẹ̀yìn in wọn yóò ti rí; nítorí wọ́n jẹ́ ìran alágídí, àwọn ọmọ tí kò sí ìgbàgbọ́ nínú wọn.
He said: “I will turn away from them. Then I'll see what happens to them! They are a perverse people, unfaithful children.
21 Wọ́n fi mí jowú nípa ohun tí kì í ṣe Ọlọ́run, wọ́n sì fi ohun asán an wọn mú mi bínú. Èmi yóò mú wọn kún fún ìlara láti ọ̀dọ̀ àwọn tí kì í ṣe ènìyàn; èmi yóò sì mú wọn bínú láti ọ̀dọ̀ aṣiwèrè orílẹ̀-èdè.
They have made me jealous by worshiping things that are not God; they have made me angry with their useless idols. So I will make them jealous using a people that aren't really a nation; I will make them angry using ignorant foreigners.
22 Nítorí pé iná kan ràn nínú ìbínú mi, yóò sì jó dé ipò ikú ní ìsàlẹ̀. Yóò sì run ayé àti ìkórè e rẹ̀ yóò sì tiná bọ ìpìlẹ̀ àwọn òkè ńlá. (Sheol h7585)
My anger has been set on fire, burning down to the depths of the grave, destroying the earth and all it produces, even setting fire to the foundations of the mountains. (Sheol h7585)
23 “Èmi yóò kó àwọn ohun búburú lé wọn lórí èmi ó sì na ọfà mi tán sí wọn lára.
I will pile disasters on them; I will use up my arrows shooting at them.
24 Èmi yóò mú wọn gbẹ, ooru gbígbóná àti ìparun kíkorò ni a ó fi run wọ́n. Pẹ̀lú oró ohun tí ń rákò nínú erùpẹ̀.
They will waste away from hunger, destroyed by disease and poisonous plague. I will send wild animals to bite them with their teeth, the fangs of snakes that slide along the ground.
25 Idà ní òde, àti ẹ̀rù nínú ìyẹ̀wù, ni yóò run ọmọkùnrin àti wúńdíá. Ọmọ ẹnu ọmú àti arúgbó eléwú irun pẹ̀lú.
Outside in the streets the sword kills their children, inside their homes, they die from fright; young men and young women, children and old people.
26 Mo ní èmi yóò tú wọn ká èmi yóò sì mú ìrántí i wọn dà kúrò nínú àwọn ènìyàn,
I would have told them I was going to cut them to pieces and wipe out even the memory of them;
27 nítorí bí mo ti bẹ̀rù ìbínú ọ̀tá, kí àwọn ọ̀tá a wọn kí ó má ba à wí pé, ‘Ọwọ́ wa lékè ni; kì í sì í ṣe Olúwa ni ó ṣe gbogbo èyí.’”
but I didn't want to hear their conquerors jeering, their enemies misunderstanding what had happened and saying, ‘We won all by ourselves, the Lord didn't have anything to do with it.’
28 Wọ́n jẹ́ orílẹ̀-èdè tí kò ní ìmọ̀, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni kò sí òye nínú wọn.
Israel is a nation that doesn't think straight; none of them understand anything.
29 Bí ó ṣe pé wọ́n gbọ́n, kí òye yìí sì yé wọn kí wọn ro bí ìgbẹ̀yìn wọn yóò ti rí!
How I wish they were wise, so they could understand it; they would recognize what was going to happen to them.
30 Báwo ni ẹnìkan ṣe lè lé ẹgbẹ̀rún, tàbí tí ẹni méjì sì lè lé ẹgbẹ̀rún mẹ́wàá sá, bí kò ṣe pé àpáta wọn ti tà wọ́n, bí kò ṣe pé Olúwa wọn ti fi wọ́n tọrẹ?
How on earth could one man chase after a thousand, or two make ten thousand run away, unless their Rock of protection had sold them, unless the Lord had surrendered them?
31 Nítorí pé àpáta wọn kò dàbí àpáta wa, àní àwọn ọ̀tá wa tìkára wọn ń ṣe onídàájọ́.
The rock they rely on is not like our Rock, as even our enemies admit.
32 Igi àjàrà a wọn wá láti igi àjàrà Sodomu àti ti ìgbẹ́ ẹ Gomorra. Èso àjàrà wọn kún fún oró, ìdì wọn korò.
But their vine comes from the vine of Sodom, from the fields of Gomorrah. Their grapes are poisonous; they are bitter bunches.
33 Ọtí wáìnì wọn ìwọ ti dragoni ni, àti oró mímú ti ejò paramọ́lẹ̀.
Their wine is the poison of serpents, deadly snake venom.
34 “Èmi kò to èyí jọ ní ìpamọ́ èmi kò sì fi èdìdì dì í ní ìṣúra mi?
I've stored this all up; it's sealed in my vaults.
35 Ti èmi ni láti gbẹ̀san. Èmi yóò san án fún wọn ní àkókò tí ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ wọn yóò yọ; ọjọ́ ìdààmú wọn súnmọ́ etílé ohun tí ó sì ń bọ̀ wá bá wọn yára bọ̀.”
I make sure justice is done, I will repay. The time is coming when they will fall, their day of disaster is approaching, their doom will soon arrive.”
36 Olúwa yóò ṣe ìdájọ́ àwọn ènìyàn an rẹ̀ yóò sì ṣàánú fún àwọn ìránṣẹ́ ẹ rẹ̀ nígbà tí ó bá rí i pé agbára wọn lọ tán tí kò sì sí ẹnìkan tí ó kù, ẹrú tàbí ọmọ.
The Lord is going to vindicate his people; he will be merciful to his servants when he sees that they have no strength left, and that everyone is gone, whether slave or free.
37 Yóò wí pé, “Òrìṣà wọn dà báyìí, àpáta tí wọ́n fi ṣe ìgbẹ́kẹ̀lé e wọn,
He'll ask, “What happened to your gods, the rock where your went for protection?
38 ọlọ́run tí ó jẹ ọ̀rá ẹran ẹbọ wọn tí ó ti mu ọtí i wáìnì ẹbọ ohun mímu wọn? Jẹ́ kí wọn dìde láti gbà wọ́n! Jẹ́ kí wọn ṣe ààbò fún un yín!
Who ate the fat of your sacrifices and drank the wine of your drink offerings? Have them come and help you; have them come and protect you!
39 “Wò ó báyìí pé, Èmi fúnra à mi, Èmi ni! Kò sí ọlọ́run mìíràn lẹ́yìn mi. Mo sọ di kíkú mo sì tún sọ di ààyè. Mo ti ṣá lọ́gbẹ́ Èmi yóò sì mu jiná, kò sí ẹni tí ó lè gbà kúrò lọ́wọ́ ọ̀ mi.
Listen! I am the only God! There is no other God except me! I bring death, and I give life; I wound, and I heal. No one can be rescued from my power.
40 Mo gbé ọwọ́ mi sókè ọ̀run mo sì wí pé, Èmi ti wà láààyè títí láé,
I hold up my hand to heaven and solemnly declare on my eternal life,
41 nígbà tí mo bá pọ́n idà dídán mi àti tí mo bá sì fi ọwọ́ mi lé ìdájọ́, Èmi yóò san ẹ̀san fún àwọn ọ̀tá mi Èmi ó sì san fún àwọn tí ó kórìíra à mi.
when I sharpen my shining sword and pick it up to execute judgment, I will repay my enemies and punish those who hate me as they deserve.
42 Èmi yóò mú ọfà mu ẹ̀jẹ̀, nígbà tí idà mi bá jẹ ẹran: ẹ̀jẹ̀ ẹni pípa àti ẹni ìgbèkùn, láti orí àwọn aṣáájú ọ̀tá.”
My arrows will become drunk with blood, as my sword eats flesh; the blood of those who are killed and captured, the heads of the enemy's leaders.”
43 Ẹ yọ̀ ẹ̀yin orílẹ̀-èdè, pẹ̀lú àwọn ènìyàn rẹ̀ nítorí òun yóò gbẹ̀san ẹ̀jẹ̀ àwọn ìránṣẹ́ ẹ rẹ̀; yóò sì gbẹ̀san lára àwọn ọ̀tá a rẹ̀ yóò sì ṣe ètùtù fún ilẹ̀ àti ènìyàn rẹ̀.
Celebrate with him! Let all God's angels worship him! Celebrate, foreigners, with his people; because he will pay back those who killed his children. He will punish his enemies, and repay those who hate him; he will purify his land and his people.
44 Mose sì wá ó sì sọ gbogbo ọ̀rọ̀ òfin yìí ní etí àwọn ènìyàn náà, òun, àti Hosea ọmọ Nuni.
Then Moses came with Joshua son of Nun and recited all the words of this song for the people to hear.
45 Nígbà tí Mose parí i kíka gbogbo ọ̀rọ̀ wọ̀nyí sí Israẹli.
After Moses finished reciting the whole song to all the Israelites,
46 Ó sọ fún un pé, “Ẹ gbé ọkàn an yín lé gbogbo ọ̀rọ̀ tí mo ti sọ láàrín yín lónìí, kí ẹ̀yin lè pàṣẹ fún àwọn ọmọ yín láti gbọ́rọ̀ àti láti ṣe gbogbo ọ̀rọ̀ inú òfin yìí.
he told them, “Think about all these words I've declared to you today, so you can order your children to follow carefully everything in this law.
47 Wọn kì í ṣe ọ̀rọ̀ asán fún ọ, ìyè e yín ni wọ́n. Nípa wọn ni ẹ̀yin yóò gbé pẹ́ lórí ilẹ̀ tí ẹ̀yin ń gòkè e Jordani lọ láti gbà.”
Don't treat these words as trivial because they are your life, and by them you will have long lives in the country that you will own after crossing the Jordan.”
48 Ní ọjọ́ kan náà, Olúwa sọ fún Mose pé,
That same day the Lord told Moses,
49 “Gòkè lọ sí Abarimu sí òkè Nebo ní Moabu, tí ó kọjú sí Jeriko, kí o sì wo ilẹ̀ Kenaani, ilẹ̀ tí mo ń fi fún àwọn ọmọ Israẹli, bí ìní i wọn.
“Climb up into the Abarim mountains to Mount Nebo, in the land of Moab opposite Jericho, and look over the country of Canaan, which I am giving to the Israelites for them to own.
50 Ní orí òkè tí ìwọ ń gùn lọ ìwọ yóò kùú níbẹ̀, kí a sì sin ọ́ pẹ̀lú àwọn ènìyàn rẹ, gẹ́gẹ́ bí arákùnrin in rẹ Aaroni ti kú ní orí òkè Hori tí a sì sin ín pẹ̀lú àwọn ènìyàn an rẹ̀.
There on the mountain you've climbed, you will die and join your people in death, in the same way your brother Aaron died on Mount Hor and joined his people.
51 Ìdí ni pé ẹ̀yin méjèèjì ṣẹ̀ sí mi láàrín àwọn ọmọ Israẹli ní ibi omi Meriba Kadeṣi ní aginjù Sini àti nítorí ẹ̀yin kò yà mí sí mímọ́ láàrín àwọn ọmọ Israẹli.
For there at the waters of Meribah-kadesh in the Desert of Zin, you both were unfaithful to me. You misrepresented me to the Israelites when you didn't treat me as holy in their presence.
52 Nítorí náà, ìwọ yóò rí ilẹ̀ náà ní ọ̀kánkán, o kì yóò wọ inú rẹ̀ ilẹ̀ ti mo ti fi fún àwọn ọmọ Israẹli.”
Though you will see the country that I am giving the Israelites from a distance, you won't enter it.”
