Deuteronomy 7
1 Nígbà tí Olúwa Ọlọ́run rẹ bá mú ọ dé ilẹ̀ náà, tí ìwọ yóò wọ̀ lọ láti gbà, tí ìwọ yóò sì lé ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ orílẹ̀-èdè kúrò níwájú rẹ. Àwọn ará Hiti, Girgaṣi, Amori, Kenaani, Peresi, Hifi àti àwọn ará Jebusi. Àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè méje tí wọ́n lágbára tí wọ́n sì pọ̀jù ọ lọ,
“When the Lord your God will have led you to the land, which you will enter so as to possess it, and when he will have destroyed many nations before you, the Hittite, and the Girgashite, and the Amorite, and the Canaanite, and the Perizzite, and the Hivite, and the Jebusite, seven nations much more numerous than you, and more robust than you,
2 nígbà tí Olúwa Ọlọ́run rẹ bá sì ti fi wọ́n lé ẹ lọ́wọ́, tí ìwọ sì ti ṣẹ́gun wọn, kí ìwọ kí ó sì pa wọ́n run pátápátá. Má ṣe bá wọn ṣe àdéhùn àlàáfíà, ìwọ kò sì gbọdọ̀ ṣàánú fún wọn.
and when the Lord your God will have delivered them to you, you shall strike them down unto utter annihilation. You shall not enter into a pact with them, nor shall you show any pity to them.
3 Ìwọ kò gbọdọ̀ bá wọn dá àna. Àwọn ọmọbìnrin rẹ kò gbọdọ̀ fẹ́ àwọn ọmọkùnrin wọn, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ìwọ kò gbọdọ̀ fẹ́ àwọn ọmọbìnrin wọn fún àwọn ọmọkùnrin rẹ,
And you shall not associate with them in marriage. You shall not give your daughter to his son, nor accept his daughter for your son.
4 torí pé wọ́n yóò yí àwọn ọmọ rẹ padà kúrò lẹ́yìn mi, láti jẹ́ kí wọn máa sin òrìṣà, ìbínú Olúwa yóò sì wá sórí rẹ, yóò sì run yín kíákíá.
For she will seduce your son, so that he will not follow me, and so that he will instead serve foreign gods. And the fury of the Lord will be enraged, and he will quickly destroy you.
5 Èyí ni kí ẹ ṣe sí wọn, ẹ wó pẹpẹ wọn lulẹ̀, ẹ bi òpó òkúta ibi mímọ́ òrìṣà wọn lulẹ̀, òpó òrìṣà Aṣerah wọn ni kí ẹ gé lulẹ̀ kí ẹ sì sun ère òrìṣà wọn ní iná.
So instead, you shall do this to them: overturn their altars, and break their statues, and cut down their sacred groves, and burn up their graven images.
6 Torí pé ènìyàn mímọ́ ni ẹ jẹ́ sí Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín, Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín ti yàn yín láàrín gbogbo ènìyàn lórí ilẹ̀ ayé, láti jẹ́ ènìyàn rẹ̀: ohun ìní iyebíye rẹ̀.
For you are a holy people to the Lord your God. The Lord your God has chosen you so that you would be his particular people out of all the peoples who are upon the earth.
7 Olúwa kò torí pé ẹ pọ̀ lọ́pọ̀lọ́pọ̀ ju àwọn ènìyàn yòókù lọ yàn yín, ẹ̀yin sá à lẹ kéré jù nínú gbogbo ènìyàn.
It is not because you surpass all the nations in number that the Lord has joined with you and has chosen you, for you are the least numerous of any people.
8 Ṣùgbọ́n torí Olúwa fẹ́ràn yín, tí ó sì pa ìbúra tí ó ṣe pẹ̀lú àwọn baba ńlá yín mọ́ ni ó ṣe fi ọwọ́ agbára ńlá mú un yín jáde tí ó sì rà yín padà nínú oko ẹrú, àti láti ọwọ́ agbára Farao ọba Ejibiti.
But it is because the Lord has loved you, and has kept his oath, which he swore to your fathers. And he has led you away with a strong hand, and he has redeemed you from the house of servitude, from the hand of Pharaoh, the king of Egypt.
9 Nítorí náà ẹ mọ̀ dájúdájú pé Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín, Òun ni Ọlọ́run, Ọlọ́run olóòtítọ́ ni, tí ń pa májẹ̀mú ìfẹ́ rẹ̀ mọ́ fún ẹgbẹẹgbẹ̀rún ìran, àwọn tí ó fẹ́ ẹ tí ó sì ń pa àṣẹ rẹ̀ mọ́.
And you shall know that the Lord your God himself is a strong and faithful God, preserving his covenant and his mercy for those who love him and those who keep his precepts for a thousand generations,
10 Ṣùgbọ́n àwọn tí ó kórìíra rẹ̀ ni yóò san ẹ̀san fún ní gbangba nípa pípa wọ́n run; kì yóò sì jáfara láti san ẹ̀san fún àwọn tí ó kórìíra rẹ̀ ní gbangba.
and promptly repaying those who hate him, so as to utterly ruin them, without further delay, quickly rendering to them what they deserve.
11 Nítorí náà ẹ kíyèsi láti máa tẹ̀lé àwọn àṣẹ, ìlànà àti òfin tí mo fun un yín lónìí.
Therefore, keep the precepts and ceremonies as well as the judgments, which I command to you this day, so that you may do them.
12 Bí ẹ bá ń kíyèsi àwọn òfin wọ̀nyí tí ẹ sì ń ṣọ́ra láti ṣe wọ́n, nígbà náà ni Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín yóò pa májẹ̀mú ìfẹ́ rẹ̀ mọ́ fún un yín, bí ó ti búra fún àwọn baba ńlá a yín.
If, after you have heard these judgments, you keep and do them, the Lord your God will also keep his covenant with you and the mercy that he swore to your fathers.
13 Yóò fẹ́ràn yín, yóò bùkún un yín yóò sì mú kí ẹ pọ̀ sí i. Yóò bùkún èso inú yín, ọ̀gbìn ilẹ̀ yín, oúnjẹ yín, wáìnì tuntun àti òróró yín, àwọn màlúù, agbo ẹran yín, àti àwọn àgùntàn, ọ̀wọ́ ẹran yín, ní ilẹ̀ tí ó ti búra fún àwọn baba ńlá yín láti fún un yín.
And he will love you and multiply you. And he will bless the fruit of your womb, and the fruit of your land: your grain as well as your vintage, oil, and herds, and the flocks of your sheep, upon the land about which he swore to your fathers that he would give it to you.
14 A ó bùkún un yín ju gbogbo ènìyàn lọ, kò sí ẹni tí yóò yàgàn nínú ọkùnrin tàbí obìnrin yín, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni kò sí ọ̀kan nínú àwọn ohun ọ̀sìn in yín tí yóò wà láìlọ́mọ.
Blessed shall you be among all peoples. No one will be barren among you of either gender, as much among men as among your herds.
15 Olúwa yóò pa ọ́ mọ́ kúrò nínú ààrùn gbogbo, kì yóò jẹ́ kí èyíkéyìí ààrùn búburú tí ẹ mọ̀ ní Ejibiti wá sára yín, ṣùgbọ́n yóò fi wọ́n lé ara gbogbo àwọn tí ó kórìíra yín.
The Lord will take all sickness away from you. And the very grievous infirmities of Egypt, which you have known, he will not bring upon you, but upon your enemies.
16 Gbogbo àwọn ènìyàn tí Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín fi lé yín lọ́wọ́ ni kí ẹ parun pátápátá. Ẹ má ṣe ṣàánú fún wọn, ẹ má ṣe sin olúwa ọlọ́run wọn torí pé ìdánwò ni èyí jẹ́ fún un yín.
You shall devour all the peoples, which the Lord your God will deliver to you. Your eye shall not spare them, neither shall you serve their gods, lest they be your ruin.
17 Ẹ lè máa rò láàrín ara yín pé, “Àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè yìí lágbára jù wá lọ. Báwo ni a o ṣe lé wọn jáde?”
If you say in your heart, ‘These nations are more than I am, so how will I be able to destroy them?’
18 Ṣùgbọ́n ẹ má ṣe bẹ̀rù wọn, ẹ rántí dáradára ohun tí Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín ṣe sí Farao àti gbogbo Ejibiti.
do not be apprehensive. Instead, recall what the Lord your God did to Pharaoh and to all the Egyptians:
19 Ẹ sá à fi ojú u yín rí àwọn àdánwò ńlá, àwọn iṣẹ́ àmì àti iṣẹ́ ìyanu ńlá, ọwọ́ agbára àti nínà ọwọ́ tí Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín fi mú un yín jáde. Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín yóò ṣe bákan náà sí gbogbo àwọn ènìyàn náà tí ẹ ń bẹ̀rù.
the very great plagues, which your eyes saw, and the signs and wonders, and the powerful hand and outstretched arm, by which the Lord your God led you away. So will he do to all the peoples, whom you dread.
20 Pẹ̀lúpẹ̀lú, Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín yóò rán oyin sáàrín wọn títí tí àwọn tí ó sálà tí wọ́n sá pamọ́ fún un yín, yóò fi ṣègbé.
Moreover, the Lord your God will also send hornets among them, until he destroys and scatters all who have escaped from you, or who have been able to hide.
21 Ẹ má gbọ̀n jìnnìjìnnì torí wọn, torí pé Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín tí ó wà láàrín yín, Ọlọ́run alágbára ni, àti Ọlọ́run tí ó tóbi lọ́pọ̀lọ́pọ̀.
You shall not fear them, for the Lord your God is in your midst: a great and terrible God.
22 Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín yóò lé gbogbo orílẹ̀-èdè wọ̀n-ọn-nì kúrò níwájú u yín díẹ̀díẹ̀. A kò nígbà yín láààyè láti lé wọn dànù lẹ́ẹ̀kan ṣoṣo. Kí àwọn ẹranko igbó má ba à gbilẹ̀ sí i láàrín yín.
He himself will consume these nations in your sight, a little at a time, by degrees. You will not be able to destroy them all at once. Otherwise, the wild beasts of the earth might increase against you.
23 Ṣùgbọ́n Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín yóò fi wọ́n lé e yín lọ́wọ́, yóò sì máa fà wọ́n sínú dàrúdàpọ̀ títí tí wọn yóò fi run.
And so, the Lord your God will present them in your sight, and you shall slay them until they are thoroughly wiped away.
24 Yóò fi àwọn ọba wọn lé e yín lọ́wọ́, ẹ̀yin ó sì pa orúkọ wọn rẹ́ lábẹ́ ọ̀run. Kò sí ẹni tí yóò lè dojú ìjà kọ yín títí tí ẹ ó fi pa wọ́n run.
And he shall deliver their kings into your hands, and you shall abolish their names from under heaven. No one will be able to withstand you, until you crush them.
25 Dá iná sun àwọn ère òrìṣà wọn, ẹ má ṣe ṣe ojúkòkòrò sí fàdákà tàbí wúrà tí ó wà lára wọn. Ẹ má ṣe mú un fún ara yín, bí bẹ́ẹ̀ kọ́ yóò jẹ́ ìdẹ̀kùn fún un yín, torí pé ìríra ni sí Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín.
Their graven images, you shall burn with fire. You shall not covet the silver or gold from which they have been made. And you shall not take for yourself anything from these, lest you offend, because this is an abomination to the Lord your God.
26 Ẹ má ṣe mú ohun ìríra wá sí ilé yín, kí ìwọ má ba à di ẹni ìparun bí i rẹ̀. Ẹ kórìíra rẹ̀ kí ẹ sì kà á sí ìríra pátápátá, torí pé a yà á sọ́tọ̀ fún ìparun ni.
Neither shall you carry anything of the idol into your house, lest you become accursed, just as it also is. You shall detest it like dung, and you shall abominate it like defilement and filth, because it is an accursed thing.”
