< 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, that I command thee this day, take great care to observe: that you may live, and be multiplied, and going in may possess the land, for 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 thou shalt remember all the way through which the Lord thy God hath brought thee for forty years through the desert, to afflict thee and to prove thee, and that the things that were in thy heart might be made known, whether thou wouldst keep his commandments or no.
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 thee with want, and gave thee manna for thy food, which neither thou nor thy fathers knew: to shew that not in bread alone doth man live, but in every word that proceedeth 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.
Thy raiment, with which thou wast covered, hath not decayed for age, and thy foot is not worn, lo this is the 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.
That thou mayst consider in thy heart, that as a man traineth up his son, so the Lord thy God hath trained thee up.
6 Nítorí èyí, ẹ gbọdọ̀ pa òfin Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín mọ́, nípa rínrìn ní ọ̀nà rẹ̀, àti bíbẹ̀rù rẹ̀.
That thou shouldst keep the commandments of the Lord thy 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 thy God will bring thee into a good land, of brooks and of waters, and of fountains: in the plains of which and the hills deep rivers break out:
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 wheat, and barley, and vineyards, wherein fig trees and pomegranates, and oliveyards grow: 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.
Where without any want thou shalt eat thy bread, and enjoy abundance of all things: where the stones are iron, and out of its hills are dug mines of brass:
10 Nígbà tí ẹ bá ti jẹ tí ẹ sì yó tán ẹ yin Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín fún pípèsè ilẹ̀ rere fún un yín.
That when thou hast eaten, and art full, thou mayst bless the Lord thy God for the excellent land which he hath given thee.
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.
Take heed, and beware lest at any time thou forget the Lord thy God, and neglect his commandments and judgments and ceremonies, which I command thee 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,
Lest after thou hast eaten and art filled, hast built goodly houses, and dwelt 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 shalt have herds of oxen and flocks of sheep, and plenty of gold and of silver, and of 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.
Thy heart be lifted up, and thou remember not the Lord thy God, who brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage:
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 was thy leader in the great and terrible wilderness, wherein there was the serpent burning with his breath, and the scorpion and the dipsas, and no waters at all: who brought forth 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 fed thee in the wilderness with manna which thy fathers knew not. And after he had afflicted and proved thee, at the last he had mercy on thee,
17 Ẹ lè rò nínú ara yín pé, “Agbára mi àti iṣẹ́ ọwọ́ mi ni ó mú ọ̀rọ̀ wọ̀nyí wá fún mi.”
Lest thou shouldst say in thy heart: My own might, and the strength of my own hand have achieved 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 thy God, that he hath given thee strength, that he might fulfill his covenant, concerning which he swore to thy fathers, as this present day sheweth.
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 thou forget the Lord thy God, and follow strange gods, and serve and adore them: behold now I foretell thee that thou shalt 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.
As the nations, which the Lord destroyed at thy entrance, so shall you also perish, if you be disobedient to the voice of the Lord your God.
