Deuteronomy 1
1 Wọ̀nyí ni àwọn ọ̀rọ̀ tí Mose sọ fún gbogbo Israẹli ní aginjù, aginjù ìlà-oòrùn Jordani, ni Arabah, ní òdìkejì Ṣufi, ní àárín Parani àti Tofeli, Labani, Haserotu àti Disahabu.
THESE be the words which Moses spake unto all Israel on this side Jordan in the wilderness, in the plain over against the Red sea, between Paran, and Tophel, and Laban, and Hazeroth, and Dizahab.
2 (Ọjọ́ mọ́kànlá ni ó gbà láti rin ìrìnàjò láti Horebu dé Kadeṣi-Barnea, bí a bá gba ọ̀nà òkè Seiri.)
(There are eleven days’ journey from Horeb by the way of mount Seir unto Kadesh-barnea.)
3 Ní ìgbà tí ó pé ogójì ọdún, ní ọjọ́ kìn-ín-ní oṣù kọ́kànlá, Mose sọ ohun gbogbo tí Olúwa pàṣẹ nípa àwọn ọmọ Israẹli fún wọn.
And it came to pass in the fortieth year, in the eleventh month, on the first day of the month, that Moses spake unto the children of Israel, according unto all that the Lord had given him in commandment unto them;
4 Èyí ṣẹlẹ̀ lẹ́yìn ìgbà tí ó ti ṣẹ́gun Sihoni ọba àwọn Amori, tí ó jẹ ọba ní Heṣboni, àti Ogu ọba Baṣani ni ó ṣẹ́gun ní Edrei, ẹni tí ó jẹ ọba ní Aṣtarotu.
After he had slain Sihon the king of the Amorites, which dwelt in Heshbon, and Og the king of Bashan, which dwelt at Astaroth in Edrei:
5 Ní ìhà ìlà-oòrùn Jordani tí ó wà nínú ilẹ̀ Moabu ni Mose bẹ̀rẹ̀ sísọ àsọyé òfin wọ̀nyí wí pé:
On this side Jordan, in the land of Moab, began Moses to declare this law, saying,
6 Olúwa Ọlọ́run wa bá wa sọ̀rọ̀ ní Horebu pé, “Ẹ ti dúró ní orí òkè yìí pẹ́ tó.
The Lord our God spake unto us in Horeb, saying, Ye have dwelt long enough in this mount:
7 Ẹ yípadà kí ẹ sì tẹ̀síwájú ní ìrìnàjò yín lọ sí ilẹ̀ òkè àwọn ará Amori, ẹ tọ gbogbo àwọn ènìyàn tí ó ń gbé Arabah lọ ní aginjù, ní àwọn orí òkè àti pẹ̀tẹ́lẹ̀, ní gúúsù àti ní etí Òkun, lọ sí ilẹ̀ àwọn ará Kenaani àti lọ sí Lebanoni, títí fi dé odò ńlá Eufurate.
Turn you, and take your journey, and go to the mount of the Amorites, and unto all the places nigh thereunto, in the plain, in the hills, and in the vale, and in the south, and by the sea side, to the land of the Canaanites, and unto Lebanon, unto the great river, the river Euphrates.
8 Wò ó, èmi tí fi ilẹ̀ yí fún un yín, ẹ wọ inú rẹ̀ lọ kí ẹ sì gba ilẹ̀ náà tí Olúwa ti búra wí pé òun yóò fún àwọn baba yín: fún Abrahamu, Isaaki, àti Jakọbu, àti fún àwọn àrọ́mọdọ́mọ wọn.”
Behold, I have set the land before you: go in and possess the land which the Lord sware unto your fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, to give unto them and to their seed after them.
9 Mo wí fún un yín nígbà náà pé, “Èmi nìkan kò lè dá ẹrù u yín gbé.
And I spake unto you at that time, saying, I am not able to bear you myself alone:
10 Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín ti sọ yín di púpọ̀ lónìí, ẹ̀yin sì ti pọ̀ bí ìràwọ̀ ní ojú ọ̀run.
The Lord your God hath multiplied you, and, behold, ye are this day as the stars of heaven for multitude.
11 Kí Olúwa Ọlọ́run àwọn baba yín sọ yín di púpọ̀ ní ọ̀nà ẹgbẹ̀rún sí i, kí ó sì bùkún un yín gẹ́gẹ́ bí ó ti ṣèlérí.
(The Lord God of your fathers make you a thousand times so many more as ye are, and bless you, as he hath promised you!)
12 Báwo ni èmi nìkan ṣe lè máa ru àjàgà àti ìṣòro yín àti èdè-àìyedè yín?
How can I myself alone bear your cumbrance, and your burden, and your strife?
13 Ẹ yan àwọn ọlọ́gbọ́n, olóye àti àwọn ẹni àpọ́nlé, láti inú ẹ̀yà yín kọ̀ọ̀kan, èmi yóò sì fi wọ́n ṣe olórí yín.”
Take you wise men, and understanding, and known among your tribes, and I will make them rulers over you.
14 Ẹ̀yin sì dá mi lóhùn wí pé, “Ohun tí ìwọ ti gbèrò láti ṣe nì dára.”
And ye answered me, and said, The thing which thou hast spoken is good for us to do.
15 Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni mo yan olórí àwọn ẹ̀yà yín, àwọn ọlọ́gbọ́n ọkùnrin, ẹni àpọ́nlé, mo sì fi jẹ olórí yín, olórí ẹgbẹẹ̀rún, olórí ọ̀rọ̀ọ̀rún, olórí àràádọ́ta, àti olórí mẹ́wàá mẹ́wàá gẹ́gẹ́ bí àwọn ẹ̀yà yín.
So I took the chief of your tribes, wise men, and known, and made them heads over you, captains over thousands, and captains over hundreds, and captains over fifties, and captains over tens, and officers among your tribes.
16 Mo sì kìlọ̀ fún àwọn onídàájọ́ yín nígbà náà pé, ẹ gbọ́ èdè-àìyedè tí ó wà láàrín àwọn ènìyàn an yín kí ẹ sì ṣe ìdájọ́ òdodo, bóyá ẹjọ́ tí ó ṣẹlẹ̀ láàrín Israẹli sí Israẹli ni tàbí láàrín Israẹli kan sí àlejò.
And I charged your judges at that time, saying, Hear the causes between your brethren, and judge righteously between every man and his brother, and the stranger that is with him.
17 Ẹ má sì ṣe ojúsàájú ní ìdájọ́. Ẹ ṣe ìdájọ́ ẹni ńlá àti kékeré bákan náà. Ẹ má ṣe bẹ̀rù ẹnikẹ́ni torí pé ti Ọlọ́run ni ìdájọ́. Ẹjọ́ tí ó bá le jù fún un yín ni kí ẹ mú wá fún mi. Èmi yóò sì gbọ́ ọ.
Ye shall not respect persons in judgment; but ye shall hear the small as well as the great; ye shall not be afraid of the face of man; for the judgment is God’s: and the cause that is too hard for you, bring it unto me, and I will hear it.
18 Nígbà náà ni èmi yóò sọ ohun tí ẹ ó ṣe fún un yín.
And I commanded you at that time all the things which ye should do.
19 Nígbà náà ní a gbéra láti Horebu, bí Olúwa Ọlọ́run wa ti pàṣẹ fún wá, a sì la àwọn ilẹ̀ lókè Amori kọjá lọ dé gbogbo aginjù ńlá tí ó ba ni lẹ́rù nì tí ẹ̀yin ti rí, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni a sì dé Kadeṣi-Barnea.
And when we departed from Horeb, we went through all that great and terrible wilderness, which ye saw by the way of the mountain of the Amorites, as the Lord our God commanded us; and we came to Kadesh-barnea.
20 Nígbà náà ni mo sọ fún un yín pé, “Ẹ ti dé ilẹ̀ òkè àwọn ará Amori, èyí tí Olúwa Ọlọ́run wa fún wa.
And I said unto you, Ye are come unto the mountain of the Amorites, which the Lord our God doth give unto us.
21 Ẹ kíyèsi i, Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín ló ni ilẹ̀ náà. Ẹ lọ kí ẹ sì gba ilẹ̀ náà bí Olúwa Ọlọ́run àwọn baba yín tí sọ fún un yín. Ẹ má bẹ̀rù, ẹ má sì ṣe fòyà.”
Behold, the Lord thy God hath set the land before thee: go up and possess it, as the Lord God of thy fathers hath said unto thee; fear not, neither be discouraged.
22 Nígbà náà ni gbogbo yín tọ̀ mí wá wí pé, “Jẹ́ kí a yan àwọn ayọ́lẹ̀wò láti yọ́ ilẹ̀ náà wò fún wa, kí wọn sì fún wa ní ìròyìn àwọn ọ̀nà tí a ó gbà àti àwọn ìlú tí a ó bá pàdé.”
And ye came near unto me every one of you, and said, We will send men before us, and they shall search us out the land, and bring us word again by what way we must go up, and into what cities we shall come.
23 Èrò náà sì dára lójú mi, torí èyí ni mo ṣe yan àwọn ènìyàn méjìlá nínú yín, ẹnìkan láti inú ẹ̀yà kọ̀ọ̀kan.
And the saying pleased me well: and I took twelve men of you, one of a tribe:
24 Wọ́n sì gòkè lọ sí ilẹ̀ òkè náà, wọ́n sì wá sí àfonífojì Eṣkolu, wọ́n sì yẹ̀ ẹ́ wò.
And they turned and went up into the mountain, and came unto the valley of Eshcol, and searched it out.
25 Wọ́n sì mú lára èso ilẹ̀ náà wá fún wa pé, “Ilẹ̀ tí ó dára ni Olúwa Ọlọ́run wa fún wa.”
And they took of the fruit of the land in their hands, and brought it down unto us, and brought us word again, and said, It is a good land which the Lord our God doth give us.
26 Ṣùgbọ́n ẹ̀yin kò fẹ́ gòkè lọ; ẹ ṣọ̀tẹ̀ sí àṣẹ Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín.
Notwithstanding ye would not go up, but rebelled against the commandment of the Lord your God:
27 Ẹ kùn nínú àgọ́ ọ yín, ẹ sì wí pé, “Olúwa kórìíra wa, torí èyí ló fi mú wa jáde láti Ejibiti láti fi wá lé àwọn ará Amori lọ́wọ́ láti pa wá run.
And ye murmured in your tents, and said, Because the Lord hated us, he hath brought us forth out of the land of Egypt, to deliver us into the hand of the Amorites, to destroy us.
28 Níbo la ó lọ? Àwọn arákùnrin wa ti kó ìrẹ̀wẹ̀sì bá wa nípa sísọ pé, ‘Àwọn ènìyàn náà lágbára wọ́n sì ga jù wá lọ; àwọn ìlú náà tóbi jọjọ bẹ́ẹ̀ ni odi wọn ga kan ọ̀run. A tilẹ̀ rí àwọn òmíràn (ìran Anaki) níbẹ̀.’”
Whither shall we go up? our brethren have discouraged our heart, saying, The people is greater and taller than we; the cities are great and walled up to heaven; and moreover we have seen the sons of the Anakims there.
29 Nígbà náà ni mo sọ fún un yín pé, “Ẹ má ṣojo, ẹ kò sì gbọdọ̀ bẹ̀rù wọn.
Then I said unto you, Dread not, neither be afraid of them.
30 Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín, tí ń ṣáájú yín yóò jà fún un yín; bí ó ti ṣe fún un yín ní Ejibiti lójú ẹ̀yin tìkára yín
The Lord your God which goeth before you, he shall fight for you, according to all that he did for you in Egypt before your eyes;
31 àti ní aginjù. Níbẹ̀ ni ẹ ti rí i bí Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín ti gbé yín, bí baba ti í gbé ọmọ rẹ̀, ní gbogbo ọ̀nà tí ẹ lọ títí ẹ fi padà dé ibí yìí.”
And in the wilderness, where thou hast seen how that the Lord thy God bare thee, as a man doth bear his son, in all the way that ye went, until ye came into this place.
32 Pẹ̀lú gbogbo èyí tí mo wí, ẹ kò gbẹ́kẹ̀lé Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín,
Yet in this thing ye did not believe the Lord your God,
33 tí ń ṣáájú u yín lọ ní gbogbo ọ̀nà yín, nípa fífi iná ṣe amọ̀nà yín ní òru àti ìkùùkuu ní ọ̀sán, láti fi àwọn ibi tí ẹ lè tẹ̀dó sí hàn yín àti àwọn ọ̀nà tí ẹ ó rìn.
Who went in the way before you, to search you out a place to pitch your tents in, in fire by night, to shew you by what way ye should go, and in a cloud by day.
34 Nígbà tí Olúwa gbọ́ ohun tí ẹ sọ, inú bí i, ó sì búra wí pé,
And the Lord heard the voice of your words, and was wroth, and sware, saying,
35 “Kò sí ọ̀kan nínú ìran búburú yìí tí yóò dé ilẹ̀ rere tí mo ti búra láti fún àwọn baba ńlá a yín.
Surely there shall not one of these men of this evil generation see that good land, which I sware to give unto your fathers,
36 Bí kò ṣe Kalebu ọmọ Jefunne. Òun ni yóò wọ̀ ọ́. Èmi yóò sì fún òun àti àwọn ìran rẹ̀ ní ilẹ̀ náà tí ó ti fi ẹsẹ̀ rẹ̀ tẹ̀; torí pé ó fi gbogbo ọkàn rẹ̀ tẹ̀lé Olúwa.”
Save Caleb the son of Jephunneh; he shall see it, and to him will I give the land that he hath trodden upon, and to his children, because he hath wholly followed the Lord.
37 Torí i tiyín ni Olúwa fi bínú sí mi wí pé, “Ìwọ náà kì yóò wọ ibẹ̀ bákan náà,
Also the Lord was angry with me for your sakes, saying, Thou also shalt not go in thither.
38 ṣùgbọ́n Joṣua ọmọ Nuni tí ń ṣe olùrànlọ́wọ́ rẹ ni yóò wọ ibẹ̀. Mú un, ní ọkàn le torí pé, òun yóò ṣáájú àwọn ọmọ Israẹli láti gba ilẹ̀ náà.
But Joshua the son of Nun, which standeth before thee, he shall go in thither: encourage him: for he shall cause Israel to inherit it.
39 Àwọn èwe yín tí ẹ sọ pé wọn yóò kó lẹ́rú. Àwọn ọmọ yín tí ko tí ì mọ rere yàtọ̀ sí búburú ni yóò wọ ilẹ̀ náà.
Moreover your little ones, which ye said should be a prey, and your children, which in that day had no knowledge between good and evil, they shall go in thither, and unto them will I give it, and they shall possess it.
40 Ṣùgbọ́n ẹ̀yin, ẹ yí padà sí aginjù tí ó wà ní ọ̀nà tí ó lọ sí Òkun Pupa.”
But as for you, turn you, and take your journey into the wilderness by the way of the Red sea.
41 Nígbà náà ni ẹ fèsì wí pé, “Àwa ti ṣẹ̀ sí Olúwa. A ó sì gòkè lọ láti jà, gẹ́gẹ́ bí Olúwa Ọlọ́run wa ti pàṣẹ fún wa.” Torí náà gbogbo yín ẹ mú ohun ìjà a yín, ẹ rò pé ó rọrùn láti gòkè lọ sí àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè olókè náà.
Then ye answered and said unto me, We have sinned against the Lord, we will go up and fight, according to all that the Lord our God commanded us. And when ye had girded on every man his weapons of war, ye were ready to go up into the hill.
42 Ṣùgbọ́n Olúwa sọ fún mi pé, “Sọ fún wọn, ‘Ẹ má ṣe gòkè lọ láti jà torí pé èmi kì yóò wà pẹ̀lú u yín. Àwọn ọ̀tá a yín yóò sì ṣẹ́gun yín.’”
And the Lord said unto me, Say unto them, Go not up, neither fight; for I am not among you; lest ye be smitten before your enemies.
43 Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni mo sọ fún yín, ẹ̀yin kò sì gbọ́, ẹ̀yin ṣọ̀tẹ̀ sí òfin Olúwa, pẹ̀lú ìgbéraga yín, ẹ gòkè lọ sí ìlú olókè náà.
So I spake unto you; and ye would not hear, but rebelled against the commandment of the Lord, and went presumptuously up into the hill.
44 Àwọn ará Amori tí ń gbé ní àwọn òkè náà, dojúkọ yín bí àgbájọpọ̀ oyin. Wọ́n sì lù yín bolẹ̀ láti Seiri títí dé Horma.
And the Amorites, which dwelt in that mountain, came out against you, and chased you, as bees do, and destroyed you in Seir, even unto Hormah.
45 Ẹ padà, ẹ sì sọkún níwájú Olúwa, òun kò sì fetí sí igbe ẹkún yín, Ó sì kọ etí dídi sí i yín.
And ye returned and wept before the Lord; but the Lord would not hearken to your voice, nor give ear unto you.
46 Báyìí ni ẹ sì dúró ní Kadeṣi fún ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ ọjọ́ gẹ́gẹ́ bí ẹ̀yin ti ṣe.
So ye abode in Kadesh many days, according unto the days that ye abode there.
