Deuteronomy 8
1 Ẹ kíyèsi i láti máa tẹ̀lé gbogbo àṣẹ tí mo fún un yín lónìí, kí ẹ bá à le yè, kí ẹ sì pọ̀ sí i wọ ilẹ̀ náà, kí ẹ sì le gba ilẹ̀ náà, tí Olúwa fì búra ṣèlérí fún àwọn baba ńlá a yín.
“All the commandments which I am entrusting to you this day, take care to observe them diligently, so that you may live and be multiplied, and so that, upon entering, you may possess the land, about which the Lord swore to your fathers.
2 Ẹ rántí bí Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín ti tọ́ ọ yín ṣọ́nà ní gbogbo ọ̀nà ní aginjù fún ogójì ọdún wọ̀nyí láti tẹ orí yín ba àti láti dán an yín wò kí ó ba à le mọ bí ọkàn yín ti rí, bóyá ẹ ó pa òfin rẹ̀ mọ́ tàbí bẹ́ẹ̀ kọ́.
And you shall remember the entire journey along which the Lord your God led you, for forty years through the desert, to afflict you, and to test you, and to make known the things that were turning in your soul, whether or not you would keep his commandments.
3 Ó rẹ̀ yín sílẹ̀ nípa fífi ebi pa yín, Ó sì fi manna bọ́ ọ yín, èyí tí ẹ kò mọ̀, tí àwọn baba yín kò mọ̀, kí ó ba à lè kọ́ ọ yín pé, ènìyàn kò ti ipa oúnjẹ nìkan wà láààyè, bí kò ṣe ohun gbogbo tí ó jáde láti ẹnu Olúwa wá.
He afflicted you with need, and he gave you Manna as your food, which neither you nor your fathers knew, so as to reveal to you that it is not by bread alone that man lives, but by every word that goes forth from the mouth of God.
4 Aṣọ yín kò gbó mọ́ ọn yín lọ́rùn bẹ́ẹ̀ ní ẹsẹ̀ yín kò sì wú, ní ogójì ọdún náà.
Your garment, with which you were covered, has by no means decayed due to age, and your foot has not been worn down, even to this fortieth year,
5 Ẹ mọ̀ ní ọkàn an yín pé, bí baba ti ń kọ́ ọmọ rẹ̀, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín ń kọ́ ọ yín.
so that you would recognize in your heart that, just as a man educates his son, so has the Lord your God educated you.
6 Nítorí èyí, ẹ gbọdọ̀ pa òfin Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín mọ́, nípa rínrìn ní ọ̀nà rẹ̀, àti bíbẹ̀rù rẹ̀.
So may you keep the commandments of the Lord your God, and walk in his ways, and fear him.
7 Nítorí pé Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín ń mú un yín bọ̀ wá sí ilẹ̀ rere ilẹ̀ tí ó kún fún odò àti ibú omi, pẹ̀lú àwọn ìsun tí ń sàn jáde láti orí òkè àti pẹ̀tẹ́lẹ̀.
For the Lord your God will lead you into a good land: a land of brooks and waters and fountains, in which deep rivers burst forth from its plains and mountains,
8 Ilẹ̀ tí ó kún fún jéró àti ọkà barle, tí ó sì kún fún àjàrà àti igi ọ̀pọ̀tọ́, igi pomegiranate, òróró olifi àti oyin.
a land of crops, barley, and vineyards, in which fig and pomegranate and olive trees spring up, a land of oil and honey.
9 Ilẹ̀ tí oúnjẹ kò ti wọ́n, kò sí ohun tí ẹ̀yin yóò ṣe aláìní, ilẹ̀ tí irin ti pọ̀ bí òkúta, ẹ̀yin sì lè wa idẹ jáde láti inú òkè rẹ̀ wá.
In that place, without any need, you shall eat your bread and enjoy an abundance of all things: where the stones are like iron, and where ore for brass is dug out of its mountains.
10 Nígbà tí ẹ bá ti jẹ tí ẹ sì yó tán ẹ yin Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín fún pípèsè ilẹ̀ rere fún un yín.
So then, when you have eaten and been satisfied, you should bless the Lord your God for the excellent land which he has given to you.
11 Ẹ ṣọ́ra kí ẹ má gbàgbé Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín, nípa kíkùnà láti pa àṣẹ rẹ̀, àwọn òfin rẹ̀, àti àwọn ìlànà rẹ̀ tí mo ń fún un yín lónìí mọ́.
Be observant and cautious, lest at some time you may forget the Lord your God, and neglect his commandments, as well as the judgments and ceremonies, which I instruct to you this day.
12 Kí ó má ba à jẹ́ pé, nígbà tí ẹ bá jẹun yó tán, tí ẹ bá kọ́ ilé tí ó dára tán, tí ẹ sí ń gbé inú rẹ̀,
Otherwise, after you have eaten and been satisfied, and have built beautiful houses and have lived in them,
13 nígbà tí àwọn agbo màlúù yín àti tí ewúrẹ́ ẹ yín bá pọ̀ sí i tán, tí fàdákà àti wúrà yín sì ń peléke sí i, tí ohun gbogbo tí ẹ ní sì ń pọ̀ sí i,
and have obtained herds of oxen, and flocks of sheep, and a plentitude of gold and silver and all things,
14 nígbà náà ni ọkàn yín yóò gbéga, tí ẹ̀yin yóò sì gbàgbé Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín, tí ó mú un yín jáde láti Ejibiti wá, nínú oko ẹrú.
your heart might be lifted up, and you might not remember the Lord your God, who led you away from the land of Egypt, from the house of servitude,
15 Òun ni ó mú un yín la aginjù ẹlẹ́rù ńlá já, ilẹ̀ tí kò sí omi tí ó sì kún fún òǹgbẹ, pẹ̀lú àwọn ejò olóró ńlá ńlá àti àkéekèe. Ó mú omi jáde fún un yín láti inú àpáta.
and who was your leader in the great and terrible wilderness, in which there was the serpent with a burning breath, and the scorpion, and the snake of thirst, and no waters at all. He led streams out of the hardest rock,
16 Ó fún yín ní manna láti jẹ nínú aginjù, ohun tí àwọn baba yín kò mọ̀ rí, kí Òun bá à le tẹ orí yín ba kí ó sì lè dán an yín wò, kí ó bá à lè dára fún un yín.
and he nourished you in the wilderness with Manna, which your fathers had not known. And after he had afflicted and tested you, in the very end, he took pity on you.
17 Ẹ lè rò nínú ara yín pé, “Agbára mi àti iṣẹ́ ọwọ́ mi ni ó mú ọ̀rọ̀ wọ̀nyí wá fún mi.”
Otherwise, you might say in your heart: ‘My own strength, and the power of my own hand, have brought forth all these things for me.’
18 Ṣùgbọ́n ẹ rántí Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín tí ó fún un yín ní agbára àti lè ní àwọn ọrọ̀ wọ̀nyí, tí ó sì fi mú májẹ̀mú rẹ̀ ṣẹ tí ó ti búra fún àwọn baba ńlá a yín bí ó ti rí lónìí.
But remember the Lord your God, that he himself has provided you with strength, so that he may fulfill his covenant, about which he swore to your fathers, just as the present day reveals.
19 Bí ẹ bá wá gbàgbé Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín, tí ẹ sì tẹ̀lé àwọn òrìṣà mìíràn, tí ẹ sì sìn wọ́n, tí ẹ sì foríbalẹ̀ fún wọn, Mo kìlọ̀ fún un yín pé rírun ni ẹ̀yin yóò run.
But if you forget the Lord your God, so that you follow foreign gods, and serve and adore them: behold, I now foretell to you that you shall utterly perish.
20 Bí àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè tí Olúwa parun níwájú u yín, bákan náà ni ẹ ó parun, torí pé ẹ kò gbọ́rọ̀ sí Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín lẹ́nu.
Just like the nations, which the Lord destroyed upon your arrival, so shall you also perish, if you have been disobedient to the voice of the Lord your God.”
