“And this [is] the command, the statutes and the judgments which your God YHWH has commanded to teach you to do in the land which you are passing over there to possess it,
2 Kí ẹ̀yin, àwọn ọmọ yín àti àwọn ọmọ wọn, lẹ́yìn wọn bá à lè bẹ̀rù Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín, ní gbogbo ìgbà tí ẹ bá wà láyé, nípa pípa àwọn ìlànà àti àṣẹ rẹ̀ tí mo fún un yín mọ́, kí ẹ bá à lè pẹ́ lórí ilẹ̀.
so that you fear your God YHWH, to keep all His statutes and His commands which I am commanding you, you, and your son, and your son’s son, all [the] days of your life, and so that your days are prolonged.
3 Gbọ́ ìwọ Israẹli, kí o sì ṣọ́ra láti gbọ́rọ̀, kí ó bá à lè dára fún ọ, kí o bá à lè gbilẹ̀ lọ́pọ̀lọ́pọ̀ ní ilẹ̀ tí ń sàn fún wàrà àti fún oyin, gẹ́gẹ́ bí Olúwa Ọlọ́run àwọn baba rẹ ti ṣèlérí fún ọ.
And you have heard, O Israel, and observed to do [them], that it may be well with you, and that you may multiply exceedingly, as YHWH, God of your fathers, has spoken to you, [in] the land flowing with milk and honey.
4 Gbọ́ ìwọ Israẹli, Olúwa Ọlọ́run wa, Olúwa kan ni.
Hear, O Israel: Our God YHWH—YHWH [is] one!
5 Fẹ́ràn Olúwa Ọlọ́run rẹ pẹ̀lú gbogbo àyà rẹ àti gbogbo ọkàn rẹ, àti gbogbo agbára rẹ.
And you have loved your God YHWH with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your might.
6 Àwọn àṣẹ tí mo fún un yín lónìí gbọdọ̀ máa wà lóókan àyà yín.
And these words which I am commanding you today have been on your heart,
7 Ẹ fi kọ́ àwọn ọmọ yín gidigidi. Bí ẹ bá jókòó nínú ilé, ẹ jíròrò nípa wọn, àti nígbà tí ẹ bá ń rìn ní ojú ọ̀nà, bí ẹ bá dùbúlẹ̀ àti nígbà tí ẹ bá dìde.
and you have repeated them to your sons, and spoken of them in your sitting in your house, and in your walking in the way, and in your lying down, and in your rising up,
8 Ẹ so wọ́n sí ọwọ́ yín fún àmì, ẹ so ó mọ́ iwájú orí yín.
and have bound them for a sign on your hand, and they have been for frontlets between your eyes,
9 Kí ìwọ kí ó kọ wọ́n sára òpó ilé rẹ̀, àti sí ara ìlẹ̀kùn ọ̀nà òde rẹ.
and you have written them on doorposts of your house and on your gates.
10 Nígbà tí Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín bá mú yín dé ilẹ̀ náà tí ó ti búra fún àwọn baba yín, fún Abrahamu, Isaaki, àti Jakọbu láti fi fún un yín, ilẹ̀ tí ó kún fún àwọn ìlú ńlá ńlá tí kì í ṣe ẹ̀yin ló kọ́ ọ,
And it has been, when your God YHWH brings you into the land which He has sworn to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give to you great and good cities which you have not built,
11 àwọn ilé tí ó kún fún gbogbo ohun mèremère tí kì í ṣe ẹ̀yin ló rà wọ́n, àwọn kànga tí ẹ kò gbẹ́, àti àwọn ọgbà àjàrà àti èso olifi tí kì í ṣe ẹ̀yin ló gbìn wọ́n. Nígbà tí ẹ bá jẹ tí ẹ sì yó,
and houses full of all good things which you have not filled, and wells dug which you have not dug, vineyards and olive-yards which you have not planted, that you have eaten and been satisfied.
12 ẹ ṣọ́ra kí ẹ má ṣe gbàgbé Olúwa, tí o mú un yín jáde láti Ejibiti wá, kúrò ní oko ẹrú.
Take heed to yourself lest you forget YHWH who has brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of a house of servants.
13 Bẹ̀rù Olúwa Ọlọ́run rẹ, Òun nìkan ni kí o sì máa sìn, búra ní orúkọ rẹ̀ nìkan.
You fear your God YHWH, and you serve Him, and you swear by His Name.
14 Ẹ̀yin kò gbọdọ̀ tẹ̀lé ọlọ́run mìíràn: ọlọ́run àwọn tí ó yí i yín ká;
You do not go after other gods, of the gods of the peoples who [are] around you,
15 torí pé Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín tí ó wà láàrín yín, Ọlọ́run owú ni, ìbínú rẹ̀ yóò sì run yín kúrò ní ilẹ̀ náà.
for your God YHWH [is] a zealous God in your midst—lest the anger of your God YHWH burns against you, and He has destroyed you from off the face of the ground.
16 Ẹ̀yin kò gbọdọ̀ dán Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín wò bí ẹ̀yin ti dán wò ní Massa.
You do not try your God YHWH as you tried [Him] in Massah.
17 Ẹ rí i dájú pé ẹ̀ ń pa àwọn òfin Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín mọ́ àti àwọn àṣẹ àti àwọn ìlànà tí ó ti fún un yín.
You diligently keep the commands of your God YHWH, and His testimonies and His statutes which He has commanded you,
18 Ẹ ṣe èyí tí ó dára tí ó sì tọ́ lójú Olúwa, kí ó bá à lè dára fún un yín, kí ẹ̀yin bá à lè lọ láti gba ilẹ̀ dáradára náà tí Ọlọ́run ti fi ìbúra ṣèlérí fún àwọn baba ńlá a yín.
and you have done that which is right and good in the eyes of YHWH, so that it is well with you, and you have gone in and possessed the good land which YHWH has sworn to your fathers,
19 Ẹ̀yin yóò sì ti àwọn ọ̀tá yín jáde níwájú u yín bí Olúwa ti ṣèlérí.
to drive away all your enemies from your presence, as YHWH has spoken.
20 Ní ọjọ́ iwájú, bí ọmọ rẹ bá béèrè pé, “Kí ni ìtumọ̀ àwọn àṣẹ, ìlànà àti òfin wọ̀nyí tí Olúwa Ọlọ́run wa ti pàṣẹ fún ọ?”
When your son asks you hereafter, saying, What [are] the testimonies, and the statutes, and the judgments which our God YHWH has commanded you?
21 Sọ fún un pé: “Ẹrú Farao ní ilẹ̀ Ejibiti ni wá tẹ́lẹ̀, ṣùgbọ́n Olúwa fi ọwọ́ agbára ńlá yọ wá jáde lóko ẹrú Ejibiti.
Then you have said to your son, We have been servants of Pharaoh in Egypt, and YHWH brings us out of Egypt by a high hand;
22 Lójú wa ni Olúwa tí ṣe iṣẹ́ àmì àti iṣẹ́ ìyanu: tí ó lágbára tí ó sì ba ni lẹ́rù: lórí Ejibiti àti Farao, àti gbogbo ènìyàn rẹ̀.
and YHWH gives signs and wonders, great and severe, on Egypt, on Pharaoh, and on all his house, before our eyes;
23 Ṣùgbọ́n ó mú wa jáde láti ibẹ̀ wá láti mú wa wọ inú àti láti fún wa ní ilẹ̀ tí ó ti fì búra fún àwọn baba ńlá wa.
and He has brought us out from there, in order to bring us in, to give to us the land which He had sworn to our fathers.
24 Olúwa pàṣẹ fún wa láti ṣe ìgbọ́ràn sí gbogbo ìlànà wọ̀nyí, láti bẹ̀rù Olúwa Ọlọ́run wa, kí ó ba à lè máa dára fún wa nígbà gbogbo, kí a sì lè wà láyé, bí a ṣe wà títí di òní.
And YHWH commands us to do all these statutes, to fear our God YHWH, for good to ourselves [for] all the days, to keep us alive, as [at] this day;
25 Bí a bá ṣọ́ra láti pa gbogbo òfin wọ̀nyí mọ́ níwájú Olúwa Ọlọ́run wa, bí ó ti pàṣẹ fún wa, èyí ni yóò máa jẹ́ òdodo wa.”
and it is righteousness for us when we observe to do all this command before our God YHWH, as He has commanded us.”
