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 spake unto all Israel beyond the Jordan in the wilderness, in the Arabah over against 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 is 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 Jehovah 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 smitten Sihon the king of the Amorites, who dwelt in Heshbon, and Og the king of Bashan, who dwelt in Ashtaroth, at 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, 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.
Jehovah our God spake unto us in Horeb, saying, Ye have dwelt long enough in this mountain:
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 hill-country of the Amorites, and unto all [the places] nigh thereunto, in the Arabah, in the hill-country, and in the lowland, and in the South, and by the sea-shore, the land of the Canaanites, and Lebanon, as far as 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 Jehovah sware unto your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to 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.
Jehovah 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.
Jehovah, the God of your fathers, make you a thousand times as many 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, according to your tribes, and I will make them heads 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 heads of your tribes, wise men, and known, and made them heads over you, captains of thousands, and captains of hundreds, and captains of fifties, and captains of tens, and officers, according to 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 a man and his brother, and the sojourner 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; ye shall hear the small and the great alike; 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 ye shall bring 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 we journeyed from Horeb, and went through all that great and terrible wilderness which ye saw, by the way to the hill-country of the Amorites, as Jehovah 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 hill-country of the Amorites, which Jehovah our God giveth 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, Jehovah thy God hath set the land before thee: go up, take possession, as Jehovah, the God of thy fathers, hath spoken unto thee; fear not, neither be dismayed.
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, Let us send men before us, that they may search the land for us, and bring us word again of the way by which we must go up, and the cities unto which 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 thing pleased me well; and I took twelve men of you, one man for every 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 hill-country, and came unto the valley of Eshcol, and spied 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 Jehovah our God giveth unto us.
26 Ṣùgbọ́n ẹ̀yin kò fẹ́ gòkè lọ; ẹ ṣọ̀tẹ̀ sí àṣẹ Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín.
Yet ye would not go up, but rebelled against the commandment of Jehovah 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 Jehovah 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 are we going up? our brethren have made our heart to melt, saying, The people are greater and taller than we; the cities are great and fortified up to heaven; and moreover we have seen the sons of the Anakim 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
Jehovah your God who goeth before you, he will 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 Jehovah thy God bare thee, as a man doth bear his son, in all the way that ye went, until ye came unto this place.
32 Pẹ̀lú gbogbo èyí tí mo wí, ẹ kò gbẹ́kẹ̀lé Olúwa Ọlọ́run yín,
Yet in this thing ye did not believe Jehovah 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 before you in the way, to seek you out a place to pitch your tents in, in fire by night, to show you by what way ye should go, and in the cloud by day.
34 Nígbà tí Olúwa gbọ́ ohun tí ẹ sọ, inú bí i, ó sì búra wí pé,
And Jehovah 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 the 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 Jehovah.
37 Torí i tiyín ni Olúwa fi bínú sí mi wí pé, “Ìwọ náà kì yóò wọ ibẹ̀ bákan náà,
Also Jehovah 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.
Joshua the son of Nun, who standeth before thee, he shall go in thither: encourage thou 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, that ye said should be a prey, and your children, that this day have no knowledge of good or 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 to 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 Jehovah, we will go up and fight, according to all that Jehovah our God commanded us. And ye girded on every man his weapons of war, and were forward 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 Jehovah 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 hearkened not; but ye rebelled against the commandment of Jehovah, and were presumptuous, and went 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 Amorites, that dwelt in that hill-country, came out against you, and chased you, as bees do, and beat you down 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 Jehovah; but Jehovah hearkened not to your voice, nor gave 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].
