Deuteronomy 6
1 Wọ̀nyí ni àwọn àṣẹ, ìlànà àti òfin tí Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín pàṣẹ fún mi láti kọ́ ọ yín kí ẹ lè kíyèsi i, ní ilẹ̀ náà tí ẹ ó ni lẹ́yìn tí ẹ bá kọjá a Jordani.
Now these [are] the commandments, the statutes, and the judgments which the LORD your God commanded to teach you, that ye may do [them] in the land whither ye go 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.
That thou mayst fear the LORD thy God, to keep all his statutes and his commandments which I command thee, thou, and thy son, and thy son's son, all the days of thy life: and that thy days may be 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.
Hear therefore, O Israel, and observe to do [it]; that it may be well with thee, and that ye may increase mightily, as the LORD God of thy fathers hath promised thee, in the land that floweth with milk and honey.
4 Gbọ́ ìwọ Israẹli, Olúwa Ọlọ́run wa, Olúwa kan ni.
Hear, O Israel: the LORD our God [is] one LORD:
5 Fẹ́ràn Olúwa Ọlọ́run rẹ pẹ̀lú gbogbo àyà rẹ àti gbogbo ọkàn rẹ, àti gbogbo agbára rẹ.
And thou shalt love the LORD thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might.
6 Àwọn àṣẹ tí mo fún un yín lónìí gbọdọ̀ máa wà lóókan àyà yín.
And these words which I command thee this day, shall be in thy 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 thou shalt teach them diligently to thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thy house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up.
8 Ẹ so wọ́n sí ọwọ́ yín fún àmì, ẹ so ó mọ́ iwájú orí yín.
And thou shalt bind them for a sign upon thy hand, and they shall be as frontlets between thy eyes.
9 Kí ìwọ kí ó kọ wọ́n sára òpó ilé rẹ̀, àti sí ara ìlẹ̀kùn ọ̀nà òde rẹ.
And thou shalt write them upon the posts of thy house, and on thy 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 shall be, when the LORD thy God shall have brought thee into the land which he swore to thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give thee great and goodly cities, which thou didst not build,
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 thou didst not fill, and wells digged, which thou didst not dig, vineyards and olive-trees, which thou didst not plant; when thou shalt have eaten and be full;
12 ẹ ṣọ́ra kí ẹ má ṣe gbàgbé Olúwa, tí o mú un yín jáde láti Ejibiti wá, kúrò ní oko ẹrú.
[Then] beware lest thou shouldst forget the LORD, who brought thee forth from the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage.
13 Bẹ̀rù Olúwa Ọlọ́run rẹ, Òun nìkan ni kí o sì máa sìn, búra ní orúkọ rẹ̀ nìkan.
Thou shalt fear the LORD thy God, and serve him, and shalt swear by his name.
14 Ẹ̀yin kò gbọdọ̀ tẹ̀lé ọlọ́run mìíràn: ọlọ́run àwọn tí ó yí i yín ká;
Ye shall not go after other gods, of the gods of the people which [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 the LORD thy God [is] a jealous God among you) lest the anger of the LORD thy God should be kindled against thee, and destroy thee from off the face of the earth.
16 Ẹ̀yin kò gbọdọ̀ dán Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín wò bí ẹ̀yin ti dán wò ní Massa.
Ye shall not tempt the LORD your God, as ye tempted [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.
Ye shall diligently keep the commandments of the LORD your God, and his testimonies, and his statutes, which he hath commanded thee.
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 thou shalt do [that which is] right and good in the sight of the LORD: that it may be well with thee, and that thou mayest go in and possess the good land which the LORD swore to thy fathers,
19 Ẹ̀yin yóò sì ti àwọn ọ̀tá yín jáde níwájú u yín bí Olúwa ti ṣèlérí.
To cast out all thy enemies from before thee, as the LORD hath 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?”
[And] when thy son shall ask thee in time to come, saying, What [mean] the testimonies, and the statutes, and the judgments, which the LORD our God hath 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 thou shalt say to thy son, We were Pharoah's bond-men in Egypt: and the LORD brought us out of Egypt with a mighty 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 the LORD showed signs and wonders, great and distressing, upon Egypt, upon Pharaoh, and upon all his household, 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 brought us out from thence, that he might bring us in, to give us the land which he swore 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 the LORD commanded us to do all these statutes, to fear the LORD our God, for our good always, that he might preserve us alive, as [it is] 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 shall be our righteousness, if we observe to do all these commandments before the LORD our God, as he hath commanded us.
