Deuteronomy 32
1 Fetísílẹ̀, ẹ̀yin ọ̀run, èmi yóò sọ̀rọ̀; ẹ gbọ́, ìwọ ayé, ọ̀rọ̀ ẹnu mi.
'Give ear, O heavens, and I speak; And thou dost hear, O earth, sayings 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.
Drop as rain doth My doctrine; Flow as dew doth My sayings; As storms on the tender grass, And as showers on the herb,
3 Èmi yóò kókìkí orúkọ Olúwa. Ẹyin títóbi Ọlọ́run wa!
For the Name of Jehovah I proclaim, Ascribe ye 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! — perfect [is] His work, For all His ways [are] just; God of stedfastness, and without iniquity: Righteous and upright [is] He.
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.
It hath done corruptly to Him; Their blemish is not His sons', A generation perverse and crooked!
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?
To Jehovah do ye act thus, O people foolish and not wise? Is not He thy father — thy possessor? He made thee, and doth establish thee.
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 days of old — Understand the years of many generations — Ask thy father, and he doth tell thee; Thine elders, and they say to thee:
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.
In the Most High causing nations to inherit, In His separating sons of Adam — He setteth up the borders of the peoples By the number of the sons of Israel.
9 Nítorí ìpín Olúwa ni àwọn ènìyàn an rẹ̀, Jakọbu ni ìpín ìní i rẹ̀.
For Jehovah's portion [is] His people, Jacob [is] the line of His 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 findeth him in a land — a desert, And in a void — a howling wilderness, He turneth him round — He causeth him to understand — He keepeth 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 waketh up its nest, Over its young ones fluttereth, Spreadeth its wings — taketh them, Beareth them on its pinions; —
12 Olúwa ṣamọ̀nà; kò sì sí ọlọ́run àjèjì pẹ̀lú rẹ̀.
Jehovah alone doth lead him, And there is no strange god 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 maketh him ride on high places of earth, And he eateth increase of the fields, And He maketh him suck honey from a rock, And oil out of the flint of a rock;
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.
Butter of the herd, and milk of the flock, With fat of lambs, and rams, sons of Bashan, And he-goats, with fat of kidneys of wheat; And of the blood of the grape thou dost drink wine!
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.
And Jeshurun waxeth fat, and doth kick: Thou hast been fat — thou hast been thick, Thou hast been covered. And he leaveth God who made him, And dishonoureth the Rock of his salvation.
16 Wọ́n sì fi òrìṣà mú un jowú, ohun ìríra ni wọ́n fi mú un bínú.
They make Him zealous with strangers, With abominations they make Him angry.
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 sacrifice to demons — no god! Gods they have not known — New ones — from the vicinity they came; Not feared them have your fathers!
18 Ìwọ kò rántí àpáta, tí ó bí ọ; o sì gbàgbé Ọlọ́run tí ó dá ọ.
The Rock that begat thee thou forgettest, And neglectest God who formeth thee.
19 Olúwa sì rí èyí ó sì kọ̀ wọ́n, nítorí tí ó ti bínú nítorí ìwà ìmúnibínú àwọn ọmọkùnrin àti ọmọbìnrin rẹ.
And Jehovah seeth and despiseth — For the provocation of His sons and His daughters.
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.
And He saith: I hide My face from them, I see what [is] their latter end; For a froward generation [are] they, Sons in whom is no stedfastness.
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 zealous by 'no-god,' They made Me angry by their vanities; And I make them zealous by 'no-people,' By a foolish nation I 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 hath been kindled in Mine anger, And it burneth unto Sheol — the lowest, And consumeth earth and its increase, And setteth on fire foundations of mountains. (Sheol h7585)
23 “Èmi yóò kó àwọn ohun búburú lé wọn lórí èmi ó sì na ọfà mi tán sí wọn lára.
I gather upon them evils, Mine arrows I consume upon 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.
Exhausted by famine, And consumed by heat, and bitter destruction. And the teeth of beasts I send upon them, With poison of fearful things of the dust.
25 Idà ní òde, àti ẹ̀rù nínú ìyẹ̀wù, ni yóò run ọmọkùnrin àti wúńdíá. Ọmọ ẹnu ọmú àti arúgbó eléwú irun pẹ̀lú.
Without bereave doth the sword, And at the inner-chambers — fear, Both youth and virgin, Suckling with man of grey hair.
26 Mo ní èmi yóò tú wọn ká èmi yóò sì mú ìrántí i wọn dà kúrò nínú àwọn ènìyàn,
I have said: I blow them away, I cause their remembrance to cease from man;
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.’”
If not — the anger of an enemy I fear, Lest their adversaries know — Lest they say, Our hand is high, And Jehovah hath not wrought all this.
28 Wọ́n jẹ́ orílẹ̀-èdè tí kò ní ìmọ̀, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni kò sí òye nínú wọn.
For a nation lost to counsels [are] they, 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!
If they were wise — They deal wisely [with] this; They attend to their latter end:
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 doth one pursue a thousand, And two cause a myriad to flee! If not — that their rock hath sold them, And Jehovah hath shut them up?
31 Nítorí pé àpáta wọn kò dàbí àpáta wa, àní àwọn ọ̀tá wa tìkára wọn ń ṣe onídàájọ́.
For not as our Rock [is] their rock, (And our enemies [are] judges!)
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 of the vine of Sodom their vine [is], And of the fields of Gomorrah; Their grapes [are] grapes of gall — They have bitter clusters;
33 Ọtí wáìnì wọn ìwọ ti dragoni ni, àti oró mímú ti ejò paramọ́lẹ̀.
The poison of dragons [is] their wine And the fierce venom of asps.
34 “Èmi kò to èyí jọ ní ìpamọ́ èmi kò sì fi èdìdì dì í ní ìṣúra mi?
Is it not laid up with Me? Sealed 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.”
Mine [are] vengeance and recompense, At the due time — doth their foot slide; For near is a day of their calamity, And haste do things prepared for them.
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 Jehovah doth judge His people, And for His servants doth repent Himself. For He seeth — the going away of power, And none is restrained and left.
37 Yóò wí pé, “Òrìṣà wọn dà báyìí, àpáta tí wọ́n fi ṣe ìgbẹ́kẹ̀lé e wọn,
And He hath said, Where [are] their gods — The rock in which they trusted;
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!
Which the fat of their sacrifices do eat, They drink the wine of their libation! Let them arise and help you, Let it be for you a hiding-place!
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 ye, now, that I — I [am] He, And there is no god with Me: I put to death, and I keep alive; I have smitten, and I heal; And there is not from My hand a deliverer,
40 Mo gbé ọwọ́ mi sókè ọ̀run mo sì wí pé, Èmi ti wà láààyè títí láé,
For I lift up unto the heavens My hand, And have said, I live — to the age!
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.
If I have sharpened the brightness of My sword, And My hand doth lay hold on judgment, I turn back vengeance to Mine adversaries, And to those hating Me — I repay!
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 make drunk Mine arrows with blood, And My sword devoureth flesh, From the blood of the pierced and captive, From the head of the freemen 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.
Sing ye nations — [with] his people, For the blood of His servants He avengeth, And vengeance He turneth back on His adversaries, And hath pardoned His land — His people.'
44 Mose sì wá ó sì sọ gbogbo ọ̀rọ̀ òfin yìí ní etí àwọn ènìyàn náà, òun, àti Hosea ọmọ Nuni.
And Moses cometh and speaketh all the words of this song in the ears of the people, he and Hoshea son of Nun;
45 Nígbà tí Mose parí i kíka gbogbo ọ̀rọ̀ wọ̀nyí sí Israẹli.
and Moses finisheth to speak all these words unto 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.
and saith unto them, 'Set your heart to all the words which I am testifying against you to-day, that ye command your sons to observe to do 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 it [is] not a vain thing for you, for it [is] your life, and by this thing ye prolong days on the ground whither ye are passing over the Jordan to possess it.'
48 Ní ọjọ́ kan náà, Olúwa sọ fún Mose pé,
And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, in this self-same day, saying,
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 unto this mount Abarim, mount Nebo, which [is] in the land of Moab, which [is] on the front of Jericho, and see the land of Canaan which I am giving to the sons of Israel for a 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.
and die in the mount whither thou art going up, and be gathered unto thy people, as Aaron thy brother hath died in the mount Hor, and is gathered unto 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.
'Because ye trespassed against me in the midst of the sons of Israel at the waters of Meribath-Kadesh, the wilderness of Zin — because ye sanctified Me not in the midst of the sons 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.”
but over-against thou seest the land, and thither thou dost not go in, unto the land which I am giving to the sons of Israel.'
