< 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 Yahweh your God brings you into the land that you go to possess, he will drive out many nations before you—the Hittites, the Girgashites, the Amorites, the Canaanites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites—seven nations greater and mightier 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.
It is Yahweh your God who gives them over to you when you defeat them, and then you must completely destroy them. You will make no covenant with them, and show them no mercy.
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,
Neither will you arrange any marriages with them. You will not give your daughters to their sons, and you will not take their daughters for your sons.
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 they will turn away your sons from following me, so that they may worship other gods. So the anger of Yahweh will be kindled against you, and he will destroy you quickly.
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.
This is how you will deal with them: You will break down their altars, dash their stone pillars in pieces, cut down their Asherah poles, and burn their cast idols.
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 nation that is set apart to Yahweh your God. He has chosen you to be a people for him to possess, more than all the other peoples that are on the face of 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.
Yahweh did not set his love upon you or choose you because you were more in number than any people—for you were the fewest of all peoples—
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 because he loves you, and he wished to keep the oath that he had sworn to your fathers. This is why Yahweh has brought you out with a mighty hand and redeemed you out of the house of bondage, from the hand of Pharaoh, 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.
Therefore know that Yahweh your God—he is God, the faithful God, who keeps covenants and faithfulness for a thousand generations with those who love him and keep his commandments,
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.
but repays those who hate him to their face, to destroy them; he will not be lenient on whoever hates him; he will repay him to his face.
11 Nítorí náà ẹ kíyèsi láti máa tẹ̀lé àwọn àṣẹ, ìlànà àti òfin tí mo fun un yín lónìí.
You will therefore keep the commandments, the statutes, and the decrees that I command you today, so that you will 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 you listen to these decrees, and keep and do them, it will happen that Yahweh your God will keep with you the covenant and the faithfulness 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.
He will love you, bless you, and multiply you; he will also bless the fruit of your body and the fruit of your ground, your grain, your new wine, and your oil, the multiplication of your cattle and the young of your flocks, in the land that he swore to your fathers to give 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.
You will be blessed more than all other peoples; there will not be a childless male or a barren female among you or among your cattle.
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.
Yahweh will take away from you all sickness; none of the evil diseases of Egypt that you have known will he put on you, but he will put them on all those who hate you.
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 will consume all the peoples whom Yahweh your God will give over to you, and your eye will not pity them. You will not worship their gods, for that will be a trap for you.
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 numerous than I; how can I dispossess 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 afraid of them; you will call to mind what Yahweh your God did to Pharaoh and to all Egypt;
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 great sufferings that your eyes saw, the signs, the wonders, the mighty hand, and the outstretched arm by which Yahweh your God brought you out. Yahweh your God will do the same to all the peoples whom you fear.
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, Yahweh your God will send the hornet among them, until those who are left and who hide themselves from you perish from your presence.
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 will not be frightened at them, for Yahweh your God is among you, a great and fearsome 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.
Yahweh your God will drive out those nations before you little by little. You will not defeat them all at once, or the wild animals would become very many around 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.
But Yahweh your God will give you victory over them when you meet them in battle; he will greatly confuse them until they are destroyed.
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.
He will put their kings under your power, and you will make their name perish from under heaven. No one will be able to stand before you, until you have destroyed 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.
You will burn the carved figures of their gods—do not covet the silver or the gold that covers them and take it for yourself, because if you do, you will become trapped by it—for it is an abomination to Yahweh 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.
You will not bring any abomination into your house and start to worship it. You will utterly detest and abhor it, for it is set apart for destruction.
