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 [are] the words which Moses has spoken to all Israel beyond the Jordan in the wilderness, in the plain opposite Suph, between Paran, and Tophel, and Laban, and Hazeroth, and Di-Zahab.
2 (Ọjọ́ mọ́kànlá ni ó gbà láti rin ìrìnàjò láti Horebu dé Kadeṣi-Barnea, bí a bá gba ọ̀nà òkè Seiri.)
[It takes] eleven days [to go] from Horeb, the way of Mount Seir, to 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 comes to pass in the fortieth year, in the eleventh month, on the first of the month, Moses has spoken to the sons of Israel according to all that YHWH has commanded him concerning 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 his striking Sihon king of the Amorite who is dwelling in Heshbon, and Og king of Bashan who is dwelling in Ashtaroth in Edrei.
5 Ní ìhà ìlà-oòrùn Jordani tí ó wà nínú ilẹ̀ Moabu ni Mose bẹ̀rẹ̀ sísọ àsọyé òfin wọ̀nyí wí pé:
Beyond the Jordan, in the land of Moab, Moses has begun to explain this law, saying,
6 Olúwa Ọlọ́run wa bá wa sọ̀rọ̀ ní Horebu pé, “Ẹ ti dúró ní orí òkè yìí pẹ́ tó.
“Our God YHWH has spoken to us in Horeb, saying, For you dwell at this mountain long enough;
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 and journey for yourselves, and go to the mountain of the Amorite, and to all its neighboring places in the plain, in the hill-country, and in the low country, and in the south, and in the haven of the sea, the land of the Canaanite, and of Lebanon, as far as the great river, the Euphrates River;
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.”
see, I have set the land before you; go in and possess the land which YHWH has sworn to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give to 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 speak to you at that time, saying, I am not able to bear you by myself;
10 Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín ti sọ yín di púpọ̀ lónìí, ẹ̀yin sì ti pọ̀ bí ìràwọ̀ ní ojú ọ̀run.
your God YHWH has multiplied you, and behold, today you [are] as the stars of the heavens 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.
YHWH, God of your fathers, is adding to you, as you [are], one thousand times, and blesses you as He has spoken to you.
12 Báwo ni èmi nìkan ṣe lè máa ru àjàgà àti ìṣòro yín àti èdè-àìyedè yín?
How do I bear your pressure, and your burden, and your strife by myself?
13 Ẹ yan àwọn ọlọ́gbọ́n, olóye àti àwọn ẹni àpọ́nlé, láti inú ẹ̀yà yín kọ̀ọ̀kan, èmi yóò sì fi wọ́n ṣe olórí yín.”
Provide wise and understanding men for yourselves that are known to your tribes, and I set them for your heads;
14 Ẹ̀yin sì dá mi lóhùn wí pé, “Ohun tí ìwọ ti gbèrò láti ṣe nì dára.”
and you answer me and say, The thing which you have spoken [is] good 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.
And I take the heads of your tribes, wise men that are known, and I appoint them [as] heads over you, princes of thousands, and princes of hundreds, and princes of fifties, and princes of tens, and authorities for 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 command your judges at that time, saying, Listen between your brothers—then you have judged [in] righteousness between a man, and his brother, and his sojourner;
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.
you do not discern faces in judgment; you hear the little as well as the great; you are not afraid of the face of any, for the judgment is God’s, and the thing which is too hard for you, you bring near to me, and I have heard it.
18 Nígbà náà ni èmi yóò sọ ohun tí ẹ ó ṣe fún un yín.
And I command you at that time all the things which you 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 we journey from Horeb, and go [through] all that great and fearful wilderness which you have seen, the way of the hill-country of the Amorite, as our God YHWH has commanded us, and we come 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 say to you, You have come to the hill-country of the Amorite, which our God YHWH is giving to 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.”
see, your God YHWH has set the land before you; go up, possess, as YHWH, God of your fathers, has spoken to you; do not fear, nor be frightened.
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 you come near to me, all of you, and say, Let us send men before us, and they search the land for us, and they bring us back word [concerning] the way in which we go up into it, and the cities to which we come in;
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 thing is good in my eyes, and I take twelve men from you, one man for the tribe.
24 Wọ́n sì gòkè lọ sí ilẹ̀ òkè náà, wọ́n sì wá sí àfonífojì Eṣkolu, wọ́n sì yẹ̀ ẹ́ wò.
And they turn and go up to the hill-country, and come to the Valley of Eshcol, and spy 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 take in their hand from the fruit of the land, and bring [it] down to us, and bring us back word, and say, The land is good which our God YHWH is giving to us.
26 Ṣùgbọ́n ẹ̀yin kò fẹ́ gòkè lọ; ẹ ṣọ̀tẹ̀ sí àṣẹ Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín.
And you have not been willing to go up, and you provoke the mouth of your God YHWH,
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 murmur in your tents, and say, In YHWH’s hating us He has brought us out of the land of Egypt, to give us into the hand of the Amorite—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.’”
to where are we going up? Our brothers have melted our heart, saying, [The] people [are] greater and taller than we; [the] cities [are] great and fortified up to the heavens, and we have also seen sons of Anakim there.
29 Nígbà náà ni mo sọ fún un yín pé, “Ẹ má ṣojo, ẹ kò sì gbọdọ̀ bẹ̀rù wọn.
And I say to you, Do not be terrified, nor 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
your God YHWH, who is going before you—He fights for you, according to all that He has done with 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 you have seen that your God YHWH has carried you, as a man carries his son, in all the way which you have gone until your coming to this place.
32 Pẹ̀lú gbogbo èyí tí mo wí, ẹ kò gbẹ́kẹ̀lé Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín,
And in this thing you are not steadfast in your God YHWH,
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 is going before you in the way to search out for you a place for your encamping, in fire by night, to show you in the way in which you 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 YHWH hears the voice of your words, and is angry, and swears, 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.
Not one of these men of this evil generation sees the good land which I have sworn to give to 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.”
except Caleb son of Jephunneh—he sees it, and to him I give the land on which he has trodden, and to his sons, because that he has been fully after YHWH.
37 Torí i tiyín ni Olúwa fi bínú sí mi wí pé, “Ìwọ náà kì yóò wọ ibẹ̀ bákan náà,
Moreover, YHWH has been angry with me for your sake, saying, Indeed, you do not go in there;
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.
Joshua son of Nun, who is standing before you, he goes in there; strengthen him, for he causes 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.
And your infants, of whom you have said, They are for a prey, and your sons who today have not known good and evil, they go in there, and I give it to them, and they possess it;
40 Ṣùgbọ́n ẹ̀yin, ẹ yí padà sí aginjù tí ó wà ní ọ̀nà tí ó lọ sí Òkun Pupa.”
but you, turn and journey for yourselves toward the wilderness, 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.
And you answer and say to me, We have sinned against YHWH; we go up and we have fought, according to all that which our God YHWH has commanded us; and you each gird on his weapons of war, and you are ready to go up into the hill-country;
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 YHWH says to me, Say to them, You do not go up, nor fight, for I am not in your midst, and you are not struck 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.
And I speak to you, and you have not listened, and provoke the mouth of YHWH, and act proudly, and go up into the hill-country;
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 Amorite who is dwelling in that hill-country comes out to meet you, and they pursue you as the bees do, and strike you in Seir, even to 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 you return and weep before YHWH, and YHWH has not listened to your voice, nor has He given ear to you;
46 Báyìí ni ẹ sì dúró ní Kadeṣi fún ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ ọjọ́ gẹ́gẹ́ bí ẹ̀yin ti ṣe.
and you dwell in Kadesh [for] many days, according to the days which you had dwelt.”
