Deuteronomy 32
1 Fetísílẹ̀, ẹ̀yin ọ̀run, èmi yóò sọ̀rọ̀; ẹ gbọ́, ìwọ ayé, ọ̀rọ̀ ẹnu mi.
Give ear, you heavens, and let me speak. Let the earth listen to the words of my mouth.
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.
Let my teaching drop down like the rain, let my speech distill like the dew, like the gentle rain on the tender grass, and like the showers on the plants.
3 Èmi yóò kókìkí orúkọ Olúwa. Ẹyin títóbi Ọlọ́run wa!
For I will proclaim the name of Yahweh, and ascribe greatness to our God.
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.
The Rock, his work is perfect; for all his paths are just. He is the faithful God, without iniquity. He is just and upright.
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.
They have acted corruptly against him. They are not his children. It is their disgrace. They are a perverted and crooked generation.
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?
Do you reward Yahweh in this way, you foolish and senseless people? Is he not your father, the one who has created you? He made you and established you.
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.
Call to mind the days of ancient times, think about the years of many ages past. Ask your father and he will show you, your elders and they will tell you.
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.
When the Most High gave the nations their inheritance— when he divided all of mankind, and he set the boundaries of the peoples, as he also fixed the number of their gods.
9 Nítorí ìpín Olúwa ni àwọn ènìyàn an rẹ̀, Jakọbu ni ìpín ìní i rẹ̀.
For Yahweh's portion is his people; Jacob is his apportioned inheritance.
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 him in a desert land, and in the barren and howling wilderness; he shielded him and cared for him, he guarded him as the apple of his eye.
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.
As an eagle that guards her nest and flutters over her young, Yahweh spread out his wings and took them, and carried them on his pinions.
12 Olúwa ṣamọ̀nà; kò sì sí ọlọ́run àjèjì pẹ̀lú rẹ̀.
Yahweh alone led him; 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.
He made him ride on high places of the land, and he fed him the fruits of the field; he nourished him with honey from the rock, and 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.
He ate butter from the herd and drank milk from the flock, with fat of lambs, rams of Bashan and goats, with the finest of the wheat— and you drank foaming wine made from the juice of 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 Jeshurun grew fat and kicked— you grew fat, you were too fat, and you had eaten your fill— he abandoned the God who made him, and he rejected the Rock of his salvation.
16 Wọ́n sì fi òrìṣà mú un jowú, ohun ìríra ni wọ́n fi mú un bínú.
They made Yahweh jealous by their strange gods; with their abominations they angered him.
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.
They sacrificed to demons, which are not God— gods they had not known, gods that recently appeared, gods your fathers did not fear.
18 Ìwọ kò rántí àpáta, tí ó bí ọ; o sì gbàgbé Ọlọ́run tí ó dá ọ.
You have deserted the Rock, who became your father, and you forgot the God who gave you birth.
19 Olúwa sì rí èyí ó sì kọ̀ wọ́n, nítorí tí ó ti bínú nítorí ìwà ìmúnibínú àwọn ọmọkùnrin àti ọmọbìnrin rẹ.
Yahweh saw this and he rejected them, because his sons and his daughters provoked him so.
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.
“I will hide my face from them,” he said, “and I will see what their end will be; for they are a perverse generation, children who are unfaithful.
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 what is not god and angered me by their worthless things. I will make them envious by those who are not a people; by a foolish nation I will make them angry.
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)
For a fire is kindled by my anger and is burning to the lowest Sheol; it is devouring the earth and its harvest; it is setting on fire 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 heap disasters on them; I will shoot all my arrows 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 be wasted by hunger and devoured by burning heat and bitter destruction; I will send on them the teeth of wild animals, with the poison of things that crawl in the dust.
25 Idà ní òde, àti ẹ̀rù nínú ìyẹ̀wù, ni yóò run ọmọkùnrin àti wúńdíá. Ọmọ ẹnu ọmú àti arúgbó eléwú irun pẹ̀lú.
Outside the sword will bereave, and in the bedrooms terror will do so. It will destroy both young man and virgin, the nursing baby, and the man of gray hairs.
26 Mo ní èmi yóò tú wọn ká èmi yóò sì mú ìrántí i wọn dà kúrò nínú àwọn ènìyàn,
I said that I would scatter them far away, that I would make the memory of them to cease from among mankind.
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.’”
Were it not that I feared the provocation of the enemy, and that their enemies would judge mistakenly, and that they would say, 'Our hand is exalted,' I would have done all this.
28 Wọ́n jẹ́ orílẹ̀-èdè tí kò ní ìmọ̀, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni kò sí òye nínú wọn.
For Israel is a nation devoid of wisdom, and there is no understanding in them.
29 Bí ó ṣe pé wọ́n gbọ́n, kí òye yìí sì yé wọn kí wọn ro bí ìgbẹ̀yìn wọn yóò ti rí!
Oh, that they were wise, that they understood this, that they would consider their coming fate!
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 could one chase a thousand, and two put ten thousand to flight, unless their Rock had sold them, and Yahweh had given them up?
31 Nítorí pé àpáta wọn kò dàbí àpáta wa, àní àwọn ọ̀tá wa tìkára wọn ń ṣe onídàájọ́.
For our enemies' rock is not like our Rock, just 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.
For their vine comes from the vine of Sodom, and from the fields of Gomorrah; their grapes are grapes of poison; their clusters are bitter.
33 Ọtí wáìnì wọn ìwọ ti dragoni ni, àti oró mímú ti ejò paramọ́lẹ̀.
Their wine is the poison of serpents and the cruel venom of asps.
34 “Èmi kò to èyí jọ ní ìpamọ́ èmi kò sì fi èdìdì dì í ní ìṣúra mi?
Is not this plan secretly kept by me, sealed up among my treasures?
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.”
Vengeance is mine to give, and recompense, at the time when their foot slips; for the day of disaster for them is near, and the things that are to come on them will hurry to happen.”
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.
For Yahweh will give justice to his people, and he will pity his servants. He will see that their power is gone, and no one remains, either slaves or free people.
37 Yóò wí pé, “Òrìṣà wọn dà báyìí, àpáta tí wọ́n fi ṣe ìgbẹ́kẹ̀lé e wọn,
Then he will say, “Where are their gods, the rock in whom they took refuge?—
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!
The gods who ate the fat of their sacrifices and drank the wine of their drink offerings? Let them rise up and help you; let them be your protection.
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.
See now that I, even I, am God, and that there is no god besides me; I kill, and I make alive; I wound, and I heal, and there is no one who can save you from my might.
40 Mo gbé ọwọ́ mi sókè ọ̀run mo sì wí pé, Èmi ti wà láààyè títí láé,
For I lift up my hand to heaven and say, 'As I live forever, I will act.
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 glittering sword, and when my hand begins to bring justice, I will render vengeance on my enemies, and I will pay back those who hate me.
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.”
I will make my arrows drunk with blood, and my sword will devour flesh with the blood of the killed and the captives, and from the heads of the leaders of the enemy.'”
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.
Rejoice, you nations, with God's people, for he will avenge the blood of his servants; he will render vengeance on his enemies, and he will make atonement for his land, for his people.
44 Mose sì wá ó sì sọ gbogbo ọ̀rọ̀ òfin yìí ní etí àwọn ènìyàn náà, òun, àti Hosea ọmọ Nuni.
Moses came and recited all the words of this song in the ears of the people, he, and Joshua son of Nun.
45 Nígbà tí Mose parí i kíka gbogbo ọ̀rọ̀ wọ̀nyí sí Israẹli.
Then Moses finished reciting all these words to all Israel.
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 said to them, “Fix your mind on all the words that I have witnessed to you today, so that you may command your children to keep them, all the words of 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.”
For this is no trivial matter for you, because it is your life, and through this thing you will prolong your days in the land that you are going over the Jordan to possess.”
48 Ní ọjọ́ kan náà, Olúwa sọ fún Mose pé,
Yahweh spoke to Moses on that same day and said,
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.
“Go up into this range of the mountains of Abarim, up Mount Nebo, which is in the land of Moab, opposite Jericho. You will look at the land of Canaan, which I am giving to the people of Israel as their possession.
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.
You will die on the mountain that you go up, and you will be gathered to your people, as Aaron your fellow Israelite died on Mount Hor and was gathered to 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.
This will happen because you were unfaithful to me among the people of Israel at the waters of Meribah in Kadesh, in the wilderness of Zin; because you did not treat me with honor and respect among the people of Israel.
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.”
For you will see the land before you, but you will not go there, into the land that I am giving to the people of Israel.”
