Deuteronomy 32

1 Fetísílẹ̀, ẹ̀yin ọ̀run, èmi yóò sọ̀rọ̀; ẹ gbọ́, ìwọ ayé, ọ̀rọ̀ ẹnu mi.

Attend, O heaven, and I will speak; and let the earth hear the words out of my mouth.

2 Jẹ́ kí ẹ̀kọ́ ọ̀ mi máa rọ̀ bí òjò, kí àwọn ọ̀rọ̀ mi máa sọ̀kalẹ̀ bí ìrì, bí òjò wíníwíní sára ewéko tuntun, bí ọ̀wààrà òjò sára ohun ọ̀gbìn.

Let my speech be looked for as the rain, and my words come down as dew, as the shower upon the herbage, and as snow upon the grass.

3 Èmi yóò kókìkí orúkọ Olúwa. Ẹyin títóbi Ọlọ́run wa!

For I have called on the name of the Lord: assign you greatness to our God.

4 Òun ni àpáta, iṣẹ́ ẹ rẹ̀ jẹ́ pípé, gbogbo ọ̀nà an rẹ̀ jẹ́ òdodo. Ọlọ́run olóòtítọ́ tí kò ṣe àṣìṣe kan, Ó dúró ṣinṣin, òdodo àti òtítọ́ ni òun.

[As for God], his works [are] true, and all his ways [are] judgement: God [is] faithful, and there is no unrighteousness [in him]; just and holy [is] the Lord.

5 Wọ́n ti ṣe iṣẹ́ ìbàjẹ́ sọ́dọ̀ ọ rẹ̀; fún ìtìjú u wọn, wọn kì í ṣe ọmọ rẹ̀ mọ́, ṣùgbọ́n ìran tí ó yí sí apá kan tí ó sì dorí kodò.

They have sinned, not [pleasing] him; spotted children, a froward and perverse generation.

6 Ṣé báyìí ni ẹ̀yin yóò ṣe san an fún Olúwa, ẹ̀yin aṣiwèrè àti aláìgbọ́n ènìyàn? Ǹjẹ́ òun kọ́ ni baba yín, Ẹlẹ́dàá yín, tí ó dá a yín tí ó sì mọ yín?

Do you thus recompense the Lord? [is the] people thus foolish and unwise? did not he himself your father purchase you, and make you, and form you?

7 Rántí ìgbà láéláé; wádìí àwọn ìran tí ó ti kọjá. Béèrè lọ́wọ́ baba à rẹ yóò sì sọ fún ọ, àwọn àgbàgbà rẹ, wọn yóò sì ṣàlàyé fún ọ.

Remember the days of old, consider the years for past ages: ask your father, and he shall relate to you, your elders, and they shall tell you.

8 Nígbà tí Ọ̀gá-ògo fi ogún àwọn orílẹ̀-èdè fún wọn, nígbà tí ó pín onírúurú ènìyàn, ó sì gbé ààlà kalẹ̀ fún àwọn ènìyàn gẹ́gẹ́ bí iye ọmọkùnrin Israẹli.

When the Most High divided the nations, when he separated the sons of Adam, he set the bounds of the nations according to the number of the angels of God.

9 Nítorí ìpín Olúwa ni àwọn ènìyàn an rẹ̀, Jakọbu ni ìpín ìní i rẹ̀.

And his people Jacob became the portion of the Lord, Israel was the line of his inheritance.

10 Ní aginjù ni ó ti rí i, ní aginjù níbi tí ẹranko kò sí. Ó yíká, ó sì tọ́jú rẹ̀, ó pa á mọ́ bí ẹyin ojú u rẹ̀.

He maintained him in the wilderness, in burning thirst and a dry land: he led him about and instructed him, and kept him as the apple of an eye.

11 Bí idì ti í ru ìtẹ́ rẹ̀ ti ó sì ń rábàbà sórí ọmọ rẹ̀, tí ó na ìyẹ́ apá rẹ̀ láti gbé wọn ki ó sì gbé wọn sórí ìyẹ́ apá rẹ̀.

As an eagle would watch over his brood, and yearns over his young, receives them having spread his wings, and takes them up on his back:

12 Olúwa ṣamọ̀nà; kò sì sí ọlọ́run àjèjì pẹ̀lú rẹ̀.

the Lord alone led them, there was no strange god with them.

13 Ó mú gun ibi gíga ayé ó sì fi èso oko bọ́ ọ. Ó sì jẹ́ kí ó mú oyin láti inú àpáta wá, àti òróró láti inú akọ òkúta wá.

He brought them up on the strength of the land; he fed them with the fruits of the fields; they sucked honey out of the rock, and oil out of the solid rock.

14 Pẹ̀lú u wàràǹkàṣì àti wàrà àgùntàn àti ti àgbò ẹran àti pẹ̀lú ọ̀rá ọ̀dọ́-àgùntàn àti ewúrẹ́, pẹ̀lú àgbò irú u ti Baṣani tí ó sì mu ẹ̀jẹ̀ èso àjàrà, àní àti wáìnì.

Butter of cows, and milk of sheep, with the fat of lambs and rams, of calves and kids, with fat of kidneys of wheat; and he drank wine, the blood of the grape.

15 Jeṣuruni sanra tán ó sì tàpá; ìwọ sanra tán, ìwọ ki tan, ọ̀rá sì bò ọ́ tán. O kọ Ọlọ́run tí ó dá ọ o sì kọ àpáta ìgbàlà rẹ.

So Jacob ate and was filled, and the beloved one kicked; he grew fat, he became thick and broad: then he forsook the God that made him, and departed from God his Saviour.

16 Wọ́n sì fi òrìṣà mú un jowú, ohun ìríra ni wọ́n fi mú un bínú.

They provoked me to anger with strange gods; with their abominations they bitterly angered me.

17 Wọ́n rú ẹbọ sí iwin búburú, tí kì í ṣe Ọlọ́run, ọlọ́run tí wọn kò mọ̀ rí, ọlọ́run tí ó ṣẹ̀ṣẹ̀ farahàn láìpẹ́, ọlọ́run tí àwọn baba yín kò bẹ̀rù.

They sacrificed to devils, and not to God; to gods whom they knew not: new and fresh [gods] came in, whom their fathers knew not.

18 Ìwọ kò rántí àpáta, tí ó bí ọ; o sì gbàgbé Ọlọ́run tí ó dá ọ.

You have forsaken God that begot you, and forgotten God who feeds you.

19 Olúwa sì rí èyí ó sì kọ̀ wọ́n, nítorí tí ó ti bínú nítorí ìwà ìmúnibínú àwọn ọmọkùnrin àti ọmọbìnrin rẹ.

And the Lord saw, and was jealous; and was provoked by the anger of his sons and daughters,

20 Ó sì wí pé, “Èmi yóò pa ojú mi mọ́ kúrò lára wọn, èmi yóò sì wò ó bí ìgbẹ̀yìn in wọn yóò ti rí; nítorí wọ́n jẹ́ ìran alágídí, àwọn ọmọ tí kò sí ìgbàgbọ́ nínú wọn.

and said, I will turn away my face from them, and will show what shall happen to them in the last days; for it is a perverse generation, sons in whom is no faith.

21 Wọ́n fi mí jowú nípa ohun tí kì í ṣe Ọlọ́run, wọ́n sì fi ohun asán an wọn mú mi bínú. Èmi yóò mú wọn kún fún ìlara láti ọ̀dọ̀ àwọn tí kì í ṣe ènìyàn; èmi yóò sì mú wọn bínú láti ọ̀dọ̀ aṣiwèrè orílẹ̀-èdè.

They have provoked me to jealousy with [that which is] not God, they have exasperated me with their idols; and I will provoke them to jealousy with them that are no nation, I will anger them with a nation void of understanding.

22 Nítorí pé iná kan ràn nínú ìbínú mi, yóò sì jó dé ipò ikú ní ìsàlẹ̀. Yóò sì run ayé àti ìkórè e rẹ̀ yóò sì tiná bọ ìpìlẹ̀ àwọn òkè ńlá. (Sheol h7585)

For a fire has been kindled out of my wrath, it shall burn to hell below; it shall devour the land, and the fruits of it; it shall set on fire the foundations of the mountains. (Sheol h7585)

23 “Èmi yóò kó àwọn ohun búburú lé wọn lórí èmi ó sì na ọfà mi tán sí wọn lára.

I will gather evils upon them, and will fight with my weapons against them.

24 Èmi yóò mú wọn gbẹ, ooru gbígbóná àti ìparun kíkorò ni a ó fi run wọ́n. Pẹ̀lú oró ohun tí ń rákò nínú erùpẹ̀.

[They shall be] consumed with hunger and the devouring of birds, and there shall be irremediable destruction: I will send forth against them the teeth of wild beasts, with the rage of [serpents] creeping on the ground.

25 Idà ní òde, àti ẹ̀rù nínú ìyẹ̀wù, ni yóò run ọmọkùnrin àti wúńdíá. Ọmọ ẹnu ọmú àti arúgbó eléwú irun pẹ̀lú.

Without, the sword shall bereave them of children, and terror [shall issue] out of the secret chambers; the young man shall perish with the virgin, the suckling with him who has grown old.

26 Mo ní èmi yóò tú wọn ká èmi yóò sì mú ìrántí i wọn dà kúrò nínú àwọn ènìyàn,

I said, I will scatter them, and I will cause their memorial to cease from amongst men.

27 nítorí bí mo ti bẹ̀rù ìbínú ọ̀tá, kí àwọn ọ̀tá a wọn kí ó má ba à wí pé, ‘Ọwọ́ wa lékè ni; kì í sì í ṣe Olúwa ni ó ṣe gbogbo èyí.’”

Were it not for the wrath of the enemy, lest they should live long, lest their enemies should combine against them; lest they should say, Our own high arm, and not the Lord, has done all these things.

28 Wọ́n jẹ́ orílẹ̀-èdè tí kò ní ìmọ̀, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni kò sí òye nínú wọn.

It is a nation that has lost counsel, neither is there understanding in them.

29 Bí ó ṣe pé wọ́n gbọ́n, kí òye yìí sì yé wọn kí wọn ro bí ìgbẹ̀yìn wọn yóò ti rí!

They had not sense to understand: let them reserve these things against the time to come.

30 Báwo ni ẹnìkan ṣe lè lé ẹgbẹ̀rún, tàbí tí ẹni méjì sì lè lé ẹgbẹ̀rún mẹ́wàá sá, bí kò ṣe pé àpáta wọn ti tà wọ́n, bí kò ṣe pé Olúwa wọn ti fi wọ́n tọrẹ?

How should one pursue a thousand, and two rout tens of thousands, if God had not sold them, and the Lord delivered them up?

31 Nítorí pé àpáta wọn kò dàbí àpáta wa, àní àwọn ọ̀tá wa tìkára wọn ń ṣe onídàájọ́.

For their gods are not as our God, but our enemies [are] void of understanding.

32 Igi àjàrà a wọn wá láti igi àjàrà Sodomu àti ti ìgbẹ́ ẹ Gomorra. Èso àjàrà wọn kún fún oró, ìdì wọn korò.

For their vine [is] of the vine of Sodom, and their vine-branch of Gomorrha: their grape [is] a grape of gall, their cluster [is] one of bitterness.

33 Ọtí wáìnì wọn ìwọ ti dragoni ni, àti oró mímú ti ejò paramọ́lẹ̀.

Their wine [is] the rage of serpents, and the incurable rage of asps.

34 “Èmi kò to èyí jọ ní ìpamọ́ èmi kò sì fi èdìdì dì í ní ìṣúra mi?

Behold! are not these things stored up by me, and sealed amongst my treasures?

35 Ti èmi ni láti gbẹ̀san. Èmi yóò san án fún wọn ní àkókò tí ẹ̀ṣẹ̀ wọn yóò yọ; ọjọ́ ìdààmú wọn súnmọ́ etílé ohun tí ó sì ń bọ̀ wá bá wọn yára bọ̀.”

In the day of vengeance I will recompense, whenever their foot shall be tripped up; for the day of their destruction [is] near to them, and the judgements at hand are close upon you.

36 Olúwa yóò ṣe ìdájọ́ àwọn ènìyàn an rẹ̀ yóò sì ṣàánú fún àwọn ìránṣẹ́ ẹ rẹ̀ nígbà tí ó bá rí i pé agbára wọn lọ tán tí kò sì sí ẹnìkan tí ó kù, ẹrú tàbí ọmọ.

For the Lord shall judge his people, and shall be comforted over his servants; for he saw that they were utterly weakened, and failed in the hostile invasion, and were become feeble:

37 Yóò wí pé, “Òrìṣà wọn dà báyìí, àpáta tí wọ́n fi ṣe ìgbẹ́kẹ̀lé e wọn,

and the Lord said, Where are their gods on whom they trusted?

38 ọlọ́run tí ó jẹ ọ̀rá ẹran ẹbọ wọn tí ó ti mu ọtí i wáìnì ẹbọ ohun mímu wọn? Jẹ́ kí wọn dìde láti gbà wọ́n! Jẹ́ kí wọn ṣe ààbò fún un yín!

the fat of whose sacrifices you ate, and you drank the wine of their drink-offerings? let them arise and help you, and be your protectors.

39 “Wò ó báyìí pé, Èmi fúnra à mi, Èmi ni! Kò sí ọlọ́run mìíràn lẹ́yìn mi. Mo sọ di kíkú mo sì tún sọ di ààyè. Mo ti ṣá lọ́gbẹ́ Èmi yóò sì mu jiná, kò sí ẹni tí ó lè gbà kúrò lọ́wọ́ ọ̀ mi.

Behold, behold that I am [he], and there is no god beside me: I kill, and I will make to live: I will strike, and I will heal; and there is none who shall deliver out of my hands.

40 Mo gbé ọwọ́ mi sókè ọ̀run mo sì wí pé, Èmi ti wà láààyè títí láé,

For I will lift up my hand to heaven, and swear by my right hand, and I will say, I live for ever.

41 nígbà tí mo bá pọ́n idà dídán mi àti tí mo bá sì fi ọwọ́ mi lé ìdájọ́, Èmi yóò san ẹ̀san fún àwọn ọ̀tá mi Èmi ó sì san fún àwọn tí ó kórìíra à mi.

For I will sharpen my sword like lightning, and my hand shall take hold of judgement; and I will render judgement to my enemies, and will recompense them that hate me.

42 Èmi yóò mú ọfà mu ẹ̀jẹ̀, nígbà tí idà mi bá jẹ ẹran: ẹ̀jẹ̀ ẹni pípa àti ẹni ìgbèkùn, láti orí àwọn aṣáájú ọ̀tá.”

I will make my weapons drunk with blood, and my sword shall devour flesh, [it shall glut itself] with the blood of the wounded, and from the captivity of the heads of [their] enemies that rule over them.

43 Ẹ yọ̀ ẹ̀yin orílẹ̀-èdè, pẹ̀lú àwọn ènìyàn rẹ̀ nítorí òun yóò gbẹ̀san ẹ̀jẹ̀ àwọn ìránṣẹ́ ẹ rẹ̀; yóò sì gbẹ̀san lára àwọn ọ̀tá a rẹ̀ yóò sì ṣe ètùtù fún ilẹ̀ àti ènìyàn rẹ̀.

Rejoice, you heavens, with him, and let all the angels of God worship him; rejoice you Gentiles, with his people, and let all the sons of God strengthen themselves in him; for he will avenge the blood of his sons, and he will render vengeance, and recompense justice to his enemies, and will reward them that hate him; and the Lord shall purge the land of his people.

44 Mose sì wá ó sì sọ gbogbo ọ̀rọ̀ òfin yìí ní etí àwọn ènìyàn náà, òun, àti Hosea ọmọ Nuni.

And Moses wrote this song in that day, and taught it to the children of Israel; and Moses went in and spoke all the words of this law in the ears of the people, he and Joshua the [son] of Naue.

45 Nígbà tí Mose parí i kíka gbogbo ọ̀rọ̀ wọ̀nyí sí Israẹli.

And Moses finished speaking to all Israel.

46 Ó sọ fún un pé, “Ẹ gbé ọkàn an yín lé gbogbo ọ̀rọ̀ tí mo ti sọ láàrín yín lónìí, kí ẹ̀yin lè pàṣẹ fún àwọn ọmọ yín láti gbọ́rọ̀ àti láti ṣe gbogbo ọ̀rọ̀ inú òfin yìí.

And he said to them, Take heed with your heart to all these words, which I testify to you this day, which you shall command your sons, to observe and do all the words of this law.

47 Wọn kì í ṣe ọ̀rọ̀ asán fún ọ, ìyè e yín ni wọ́n. Nípa wọn ni ẹ̀yin yóò gbé pẹ́ lórí ilẹ̀ tí ẹ̀yin ń gòkè e Jordani lọ láti gbà.”

For this [is] no vain word to you; for it [is] your life, and because of this word you shall live long upon the land, into which you go over Jordan to inherit it.

48 Ní ọjọ́ kan náà, Olúwa sọ fún Mose pé,

And the Lord spoke to Moses in this day, saying,

49 “Gòkè lọ sí Abarimu sí òkè Nebo ní Moabu, tí ó kọjú sí Jeriko, kí o sì wo ilẹ̀ Kenaani, ilẹ̀ tí mo ń fi fún àwọn ọmọ Israẹli, bí ìní i wọn.

Go up to the mount Abarim, this mountain Nabau which is in the land of Moab over against Jericho, and behold the land of Chanaan, which I give to the sons of Israel:

50 Ní orí òkè tí ìwọ ń gùn lọ ìwọ yóò kùú níbẹ̀, kí a sì sin ọ́ pẹ̀lú àwọn ènìyàn rẹ, gẹ́gẹ́ bí arákùnrin in rẹ Aaroni ti kú ní orí òkè Hori tí a sì sin ín pẹ̀lú àwọn ènìyàn an rẹ̀.

and die in the mount whither you go up, and be added to your people; as Aaron your brother died in mount Or, and was added to his people.

51 Ìdí ni pé ẹ̀yin méjèèjì ṣẹ̀ sí mi láàrín àwọn ọmọ Israẹli ní ibi omi Meriba Kadeṣi ní aginjù Sini àti nítorí ẹ̀yin kò yà mí sí mímọ́ láàrín àwọn ọmọ Israẹli.

Because you disobeyed my word amongst the children of Israel, at the waters of strife of Cades in the wilderness of Sin; because you sanctified me not amongst the sons of Israel.

52 Nítorí náà, ìwọ yóò rí ilẹ̀ náà ní ọ̀kánkán, o kì yóò wọ inú rẹ̀ ilẹ̀ ti mo ti fi fún àwọn ọmọ Israẹli.”

You shall see the land before [you], but you shall not enter into it.
