< 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 brings you into the land where you go to possess it, and casts out many nations before you—the Hittite, the Girgashite, the Amorite, the Canaanite, the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite—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.
and when the LORD your God delivers them up before you, and you strike them, then you shall utterly destroy them. You shall make no covenant with them, nor show mercy 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,
You shall not make marriages with them. You shall not give your daughter to his son, nor shall you take 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 that would turn away your sons from following me, that they may serve other gods. So the LORD’s anger would be kindled against you, and he would 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.
But you shall deal with them like this: you shall break down their altars, dash their pillars in pieces, cut down their Asherah poles, and burn their engraved images with fire.
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 to be a people for his own possession, above all peoples who 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.
The LORD didn’t set his love on you nor 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 the LORD loves you, and because he desires to keep the oath which he swore to your fathers, the LORD 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.
Know therefore that the LORD your God himself is God, the faithful God, who keeps covenant and loving kindness to 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.
and repays those who hate him to their face, to destroy them. He will not be slack to him who 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 shall therefore keep the commandments, the statutes, and the ordinances which I command you today, to 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.
It shall happen, because you listen to these ordinances and keep and do them, that the LORD your God will keep with you the covenant and the loving kindness which 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 and your new wine and your oil, the increase of your livestock and the young of your flock, in the land which 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 above all peoples. There won’t be male or female barren amongst you, or amongst your livestock.
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 away from you all sickness; and he will put none of the evil diseases of Egypt, which you know, on you, but will lay 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 shall consume all the peoples whom the LORD your God shall deliver to you. Your eye shall not pity them. You shall not serve their gods; for that would be a snare to 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 shall say in your heart, “These nations are more 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.
you shall not be afraid of them. You shall remember well what the LORD 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 trials which your eyes saw, the signs, the wonders, the mighty hand, and the outstretched arm, by which the LORD your God brought you out. So shall the LORD your God do to all the peoples of whom you are afraid.
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 send the hornet amongst them, until those who are left, and hide themselves, perish from before you.
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 be scared of them; for the LORD your God is amongst you, a great and awesome 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.
The LORD your God will cast out those nations before you little by little. You may not consume them at once, lest the animals of the field increase on 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 the LORD your God will deliver them up before you, and will confuse them with a great confusion, 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 deliver their kings into your hand, and you shall make their name perish from under the sky. 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 shall burn the engraved images of their gods with fire. You shall not covet the silver or the gold that is on them, nor take it for yourself, lest you be snared in it; for it 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.
You shall not bring an abomination into your house and become a devoted thing like it. You shall utterly detest it. You shall utterly abhor it; for it is a devoted thing.
