Exodus 23
1 Thou shalt not receive the voice of a lie: neither shalt thou join thy hand to bear false witness for a wicked person.
“Ìwọ kò gbọdọ̀ tan ìròyìn èké kalẹ̀. Ìwọ kò gbọdọ̀ ran ènìyàn búburú lọ́wọ́ láti jẹ́rìí èké.
2 Thou shalt not follow the multitude to do evil: neither shalt thou yield in judgment, to the opinion of the most part, to stray from the truth.
“Ìwọ kò gbọdọ̀ tẹ̀lé ọ̀pọ̀ ènìyàn láti ṣe aburú. Nígbà tí ìwọ bá jẹ́rìí sí ẹjọ́, ìwọ kò gbọdọ̀ yí ìdájọ́ po nípa gbígbé lẹ́yìn ọ̀pọ̀ ènìyàn.
3 Neither shalt thou favour a poor man in judgment.
Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ìwọ kò gbọdọ̀ ṣe ojúsàájú sí tálákà nínú ẹjọ́ rẹ̀.
4 If thou meet thy enemy’s ox or ass going astray, bring it back to him.
“Bí ìwọ bá ṣe alábàápàdé akọ màlúù tàbí akọ kẹ́tẹ́kẹ́tẹ́ ọ̀tá rẹ tí ó ṣìnà lọ, rí i dájú pé o mú un padà wá fún un.
5 If thou see the ass of him that hateth thee lie underneath his burden, thou shalt not pass by, but shalt lift him up with him.
Bí ìwọ bá rí kẹ́tẹ́kẹ́tẹ́ ẹnìkan tí ó kórìíra rẹ tí ẹrù ṣubú lé lórí, má ṣe fi í sílẹ̀ bẹ́ẹ̀; rí i dájú pé o ran án lọ́wọ́ nípa rẹ.
6 Thou shalt not go aside in the poor man’s judgment.
“Ìwọ kò gbọdọ̀ du aláìní ní ìdájọ́ òdodo.
7 Thou shalt fly lying. The innocent and just person thou shalt not put to death: because I abhor the wicked.
Má ṣe lọ́wọ́ nínú ẹ̀sùn èké, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ìwọ kò gbọdọ̀ pa aláìṣẹ̀ tàbí olódodo ènìyàn, nítorí Èmi kò ní dá ẹlẹ́bi láre.
8 Neither shalt thou take bribes, which even blind the wise, and pervert the words of the just.
“Ìwọ kò gbọdọ̀ gba àbẹ̀tẹ́lẹ̀, nítorí pé àbẹ̀tẹ́lẹ̀ ń fọ́ ojú ọlọ́gbọ́n, ó sì ń ba ọ̀rọ̀ olódodo jẹ́.
9 Thou shalt not molest a stranger, for you know the hearts of strangers: for you also were strangers in the land of Egypt.
“Ìwọ kò gbọdọ̀ pọ́n àjèjì kan lójú, ẹ̀yin sa ti mọ inú àjèjì, nítorí ẹ̀yin náà ti jẹ́ àjèjì ní ilẹ̀ Ejibiti.
10 Six years thou shalt sow thy ground, and shalt gather the corn thereof.
“Ní ọdún mẹ́fà ni ìwọ yóò gbin oko rẹ, ìwọ yóò sì kóre èso rẹ̀.
11 But the seventh year thou shalt let it alone, and suffer it to rest, that the poor of thy people may eat, and whatsoever shall be left, let the beasts of the field eat it: so shalt thou do with thy vineyard and thy oliveyard.
Ṣùgbọ́n ní ọdún keje, jẹ́ kí ilẹ̀ náà wà ní àìkọ àti ní àìlò, jẹ́ kí ilẹ̀ náà kí ó sinmi. Nígbà náà ni tálákà láàrín yín yóò rí oúnjẹ láti ibẹ̀. Ẹranko igbó yóò sì jẹ èyí tí wọ́n fi sílẹ̀. Ìwọ ṣe bákan náà pẹ̀lú ọgbà àjàrà rẹ àti ọgbà olifi rẹ.
12 Six days thou shalt work: the seventh day thou shalt cease, that thy ox and thy ass may rest: and the son of thy handmaid and the stranger may be refreshed.
“Ọjọ́ mẹ́fà ni ìwọ yóò ṣe iṣẹ́ rẹ, ìwọ yóò sì sinmi ní ọjọ́ keje, kí akọ màlúù àti kẹ́tẹ́kẹ́tẹ́ rẹ bá à lè ní ìsinmi, kí a sì tú ọmọ ìránṣẹ́bìnrin rẹ àti àlejò ti ń gbé ni ilé rẹ lára.
13 Keep all things that I have said to you. And by the name of strange gods you shall not swear, neither shall it be heard out of your mouth.
“Ẹ máa ṣọ́ra, kí ẹ sì ṣe ohun gbogbo tí mo wí fún un yín. Ẹ má ṣe pe orúkọ òrìṣà, kí a má ṣe gbọ́ orúkọ wọn ní ẹnu yín.
14 Three times every year you shall celebrate feasts to me.
“Ní ìgbà mẹ́ta ni ìwọ yóò ṣe àjọ fún mi nínú ọdún.
15 Thou shalt keep the feast of unleavened bread. Seven days shalt thou eat unleavened bread, as I commanded thee, in the time of the month of new corn, when thou didst come forth out of Egypt: thou shalt not appear empty before me.
“Ṣe àjọ àkàrà àìwú; jẹ àkàrà ti kò ní ìwúkàrà fún ọjọ́ méje, bí mo ṣe pàṣẹ fún ọ. Ṣe èyí ní àkókò tí a ti yàn ní oṣù Abibu, nítorí ni oṣù yìí ni ìwọ jáde kúrò ni ilẹ̀ Ejibiti. “Ẹnikẹ́ni kò gbọdọ̀ wá sí iwájú mi ní ọwọ́ òfo.
16 And the feast of the harvest of the firstfruits of thy work, whatsoever thou hast sown in the field. The feast also in the end of the year, when thou hast gathered in all thy corn out of the field.
“Ṣe àjọ ìkórè pẹ̀lú èso àkọ́so ọ̀gbìn oko rẹ. “Ṣe àjọ àkójọ oko rẹ ní òpin ọdún, nígbà tí ìwọ bá kó ìre oko rẹ jọ tan.
17 Thrice a year shall all thy males appear before the Lord thy God.
“Ní ìgbà mẹ́ta ọ̀tọ̀ọ̀tọ̀ ni àwọn ọkùnrin yín yóò máa wá fi ara hàn ní iwájú Olúwa Olódùmarè.
18 Thou shalt not sacrifice the blood of my victim upon leaven, neither shall the fat of my solemnity remain until the morning.
“Ìwọ kò gbọdọ̀ rú ẹbọ ẹ̀jẹ̀ sí mi ti òun ti àkàrà tó ní ìwúkàrà. “Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ọ̀rá ẹbọ àjọ mi ni kò gbọdọ̀ kù títí di òwúrọ̀.
19 Thou shalt carry the firstfruits of the corn of thy ground to the house of the Lord thy God. Thou shalt not boil a kid in the milk of his dam.
“Mú àkọ́ká èso ilẹ̀ rẹ tí ó dára jùlọ wá sí ilé Olúwa Ọlọ́run rẹ. “Ìwọ kò gbọdọ̀ bọ ọmọ ewúrẹ́ nínú omi ọmú ìyá rẹ̀.
20 Behold I will send my angel, who shall go before thee, and keep thee in thy journey, and bring thee into the place that I have prepared.
“Kíyèsi èmi rán angẹli kan lọ ní iwájú rẹ, láti ṣọ́ ọ ni ọ̀nà àti láti mú ọ dé ibi ti mo ti pèsè sílẹ̀ fún.
21 Take notice of him, and hear his voice, and do not think him one to be contemned: for he will not forgive when thou hast sinned, and my name is in him.
Fi ara balẹ̀, kí o sì fetísílẹ̀ sí i, kí o sì gba ohùn rẹ̀ gbọ́; má ṣe ṣọ̀tẹ̀ sí i, nítorí kò ní fi àìṣedéédéé yín jì yín, orúkọ mi wà lára rẹ̀.
22 But if thou wilt hear his voice, and do all that I speak, I will be an enemy to thy enemies, and will afflict them that afflict thee.

23 And my angel shall go before thee, and shall bring thee in unto the Amorrhite, and the Hethite, and the Pherezite, and the Chanaanite, and the Hevite, and the Jebusite, whom I will destroy.
Angẹli mi yóò lọ níwájú rẹ, yóò sì mú ọ dé ọ̀dọ̀ àwọn ará: Amori, Hiti, Peresi, Kenaani, Hifi àti Jebusi, èmi a sì gé wọn kúrò.
24 Thou shalt not adore their gods, nor serve them. Thou shalt not do their works, but shalt destroy them, and break their statues.
Ìwọ kò gbọdọ̀ foríbalẹ̀ fún òrìṣà wọn, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni, ìwọ kò gbọdọ̀ sìn wọ́n, tàbí kí ẹ tẹ̀lé ìṣe wọn. Kí ìwọ kí ó si wó wọn lulẹ̀, kí ìwọ kí ó sì fọ́ ère òkúta wọ́n túútúú.
25 And you shall serve the Lord your God, that I may bless your bread and your waters, and may take away sickness from the midst of thee.
Ẹ̀yin yóò sí máa sin Olúwa Ọlọ́run yin, òun yóò si bùsi oúnjẹ rẹ. Èmi yóò mú àìsàn kúrò láàrín rẹ.
26 There shall not be one fruitless nor barren in thy land: I will fill the number of thy days.
Oyún kò ní bàjẹ́ lára obìnrin kan, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni obìnrin kan kì yóò yàgàn ni ilẹ̀ rẹ. Èmi yóò fún ọ ní ẹ̀mí gígùn.
27 I will send my fear before thee, and will destroy all the people to whom thou shalt come: and will turn the backs of all thy enemies before thee.
“Èmi yóò rán ẹ̀rù mi lọ ṣáájú rẹ, ìdàrúdàpọ̀ yóò sì wà láàrín àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè tí ẹ bá da ojú kọ. Èmi yóò mú kí àwọn ọ̀tá rẹ yí ẹ̀yìn padà sí ọ, kí wọn sì sá ní iwájú rẹ.
28 Sending out hornets before, that shall drive away the Hevite, and the Chanaanite, and the Hethite, before thou come in.
Èmi yóò rán oyin ṣáájú rẹ láti lé àwọn ará: Hifi, Kenaani àti Hiti kúrò ni ọ̀nà rẹ.
29 I will not cast them out from thy face in one year: lest the land be brought into a wilderness, and the beasts multiply against thee.
Ṣùgbọ́n, Èmi kò ni lé gbogbo wọn jáde ni ọdún kan ṣoṣo, ki ilẹ̀ náà má ba à di ahoro, àwọn ẹranko búburú yóò sì ti pọ̀jù fún ọ.
30 By little and little I will drive them out from before thee, till thou be increased, and dost possess the land.

31 And I will set thy bounds from the Red Sea to the sea of the Palestines, and from the desert to the river: I will deliver the inhabitants of the land into your hands, and will drive them out from before you.
“Èmi yóò fi ìdí òpin ààlà ilẹ̀ rẹ lélẹ̀ láti etí Òkun Pupa títí dé òkun àwọn ara Filistini, láti aṣálẹ̀ títí dé etí odò Eufurate, Èmi yóò fa àwọn ènìyàn ti ń gbé ilẹ̀ náà lé ọ lọ́wọ́, ìwọ yóò sì lé wọn jáde kúrò ní iwájú rẹ.
32 Thou shalt not enter into league with them, nor with their gods.

33 Let them not dwell in thy land, lest perhaps thy make thee sin against me, if thou serve their god: which undoubtedly will be a scandal to thee.
