¹Hear, Israel: you are to pass over the Jordan this day, to go in to dispossess nations greater and mightier than yourself, cities great and fortified up to the sky,

¹ Ya Israyla, wa maa! Sohõ ni ga ba ka Urdun isa daŋandi, ni ma furo ka dumi fooyaŋ laabuyaŋ ŋwa. I ga beeri, i gonda gaabi mo ka bisa ni bumbo. I gonda kwaara bambata yaŋ kaŋ yaŋ i n'i birni cinarey gaabandi ka koy hala beene.

¹Hear, O Israel: thou art to pass over the Jordan this day, to go in to dispossess nations greater and mightier than thyself, cities great and fortified up to heaven,

²a people great and tall, the sons of the Anakim, whom you know, and of whom you have heard say, “Who can stand before the sons of Anak?”

² Borey ga beeri, i ga ku mo, zama Anak boroyaŋ no. Woodin yaŋ, ni bay i gaa, ni maa i baaru mo, kaŋ i ga ne: «Hay! May no ga hin ka kay Anakey jine?»

²a people great and tall, the sons of the Anakim, whom thou knowest, and of whom thou hast heard say, Who can stand before the sons of Anak?

³Know therefore this day, that Yahweh your God is he who goes over before you as a devouring fire; he will destroy them, and he will bring them down before you: so you shall drive them out, and make them to perish quickly, as Yahweh has spoken to you.

³ Yaadin gaa binde, ni ma bay hunkuna: Rabbi ni Irikoyo no ga ti bora kaŋ ga furo ni jine ka isa daŋandi, sanda danji kaŋ ga ŋwa cine. A g'i halaci, a g'i ye ganda mo ni jine. Yaadin no ni g'i gaaray d'a ni jine ka naŋ i ma halaci nda waasi, mate kaŋ Rabbi salaŋ ka ci ni se.

³Know therefore this day, that Jehovah thy God is he who goeth over before thee as a devouring fire; he will destroy them, and he will bring them down before thee: so shalt thou drive them out, and make them to perish quickly, as Jehovah hath spoken unto thee.

⁴Don’t say in your heart, after Yahweh your God has thrust them out from before you, saying, “For my righteousness Yahweh has brought me in to possess this land”; because Yahweh drives them out before you because of the wickedness of these nations.

⁴ Da Rabbi ni Irikoyo n'i tuti ka hibandi ni jine, ni ma si miila ni bina ra ka ne: «Ay adilitara sabbay se no Rabbi kande ay ka daŋ laabo wo ra, ay ma du a mayra.» Manti yaadin no bo! Amma dumey din laalayaŋo sabbay se no Rabbi g'i gaaray k'i kaa ni jine.

⁴Speak not thou in thy heart, after that Jehovah thy God hath thrust them out from before thee, saying, For my righteousness Jehovah hath brought me in to possess this land; whereas for the wickedness of these nations Jehovah doth drive them out from before thee.

⁵Not for your righteousness, or for the uprightness of your heart, do you go in to possess their land; but for the wickedness of these nations Yahweh your God does drive them out from before you, and that he may establish the word which Yahweh swore to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.

⁵ Manti ni adilitara no bo, wala mo ni bina ra hananyaŋo no ga naŋ ni ma furo ka du i laabey mayra. Amma dumey din laalayaŋo se no Rabbi ni Irikoyo goono g'i gaaray k'i kaa ni jine. Zama mo a ma sanno kaŋ a ze d'a ni kaayey se din tabbatandi no, kaŋ ga ti Ibrahim da Isaka da Yakuba.

⁵Not for thy righteousness, or for the uprightness of thy heart, dost thou go in to possess their land; but for the wickedness of these nations Jehovah thy God doth drive them out from before thee, and that he may establish the word which Jehovah sware unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.

⁶Know therefore, that Yahweh your God doesn’t give you this good land to possess it for your righteousness; for you are a stiff-necked people.

⁶ Woodin sabbay se, ma bay kaŋ Rabbi ni Irikoyo mana laabu hanna wo no ni se mayray hari ni adilitara sabbay se bo, zama ni ya dumi hanga sando no.

⁶Know therefore, that Jehovah thy God giveth thee not this good land to possess it for thy righteousness; for thou art a stiffnecked people.

⁷Remember, don’t forget, how you provoked Yahweh your God to wrath in the wilderness: from the day that you went forth out of the land of Egypt, until you came to this place, you have been rebellious against Yahweh.

⁷ Ma fongu mo, ma si dinya fa! Ma fongu mate kaŋ ni jin ka Rabbi ni Irikoyo zokoti a ma dukur yongo saajo ra. Za hano kaŋ hane ni fun Misira laabo ra hala ka kaa neewo, araŋ go ga murte Rabbi gaa.

⁷Remember, forget thou not, how thou provokedst Jehovah thy God to wrath in the wilderness: from the day that thou wentest forth out of the land of Egypt, until ye came unto this place, ye have been rebellious against Jehovah.

⁸Also in Horeb you provoked Yahweh to wrath, and Yahweh was angry with you to destroy you.

⁸ Woodin banda, Horeb Tondo do araŋ na Rabbi dukurandi hala Rabbi te araŋ se bine, kaŋ a ho k'araŋ halaci.

⁸Also in Horeb ye provoked Jehovah to wrath, and Jehovah was angry with you to destroy you.

⁹When I was gone up onto the mountain to receive the tables of stone, even the tables of the covenant which Yahweh made with you, then I stayed on the mountain forty days and forty nights; I neither ate bread nor drank water.

⁹ Waato kaŋ ay ziji ka koy tondi kuuko ra ka du tondi walhẽy kaŋ yaŋ gonda sappa kaŋ Rabbi te d'araŋ din sanney, ay goro tondo ra mo zaari waytaaci da cin waytaaci. Yana ŋwaari ŋwa, yana hari haŋ mo.

⁹When I was gone up into the mount to receive the tables of stone, even the tables of the covenant which Jehovah made with you, then I abode in the mount forty days and forty nights; I did neither eat bread nor drink water.

¹⁰Yahweh delivered to me the two tables of stone written with the finger of God; and on them were all the words which Yahweh spoke with you on the mountain out of the midst of the fire in the day of the assembly.

¹⁰ Rabbi mo na tondi walhã hinka din daŋ ay kambe ra, kaŋ yaŋ gaa Irikoy hantum da nga kambayzo. I gaa mo no i na sanney kulu gar kaŋ Rabbi salaŋ araŋ se yongo tondo ra, jinda fun danjo bindo ra, marga din hane.

¹⁰And Jehovah delivered unto me the two tables of stone written with the finger of God; and on them [was written] according to all the words, which Jehovah speak with you in the mount out of the midst of the fire in the day of the assembly.

¹¹It came to pass at the end of forty days and forty nights, that Yahweh gave me the two tables of stone, even the tables of the covenant.

¹¹ A ciya mo, zaari waytaaci da cin waytaaca din banda, Rabbi n'ay no tondi walhã hinka, kaŋ ga ti sappa walhẽy.

¹¹And it came to pass at the end of forty days and forty nights, that Jehovah gave me the two tables of stone, even the tables of the covenant.

¹²Yahweh said to me, “Arise, get down quickly from here; for your people whom you have brought out of Egypt have corrupted themselves; they have quickly turned aside out of the way which I commanded them; they have made them a molten image.”

¹² Rabbi ne ay se mo: «Tun ka zumbu da waasi ka fun neewo. Zama ni borey kaŋ ni kande ka fun Misira na ngey boŋ ziibandi. I tara ka kamba mo ka fun fonda kaŋ ay n'i lordi nd'a ra. I na tooru soogante te ngey boŋ se.»

¹²And Jehovah said unto me, Arise, get thee down quickly from hence; for thy people that thou hast brought forth out of Egypt have corrupted themselves; they are quickly turned aside out of the way which I commanded them; they have made them a molten image.

¹³Furthermore Yahweh spoke to me, saying, “I have seen this people, and behold, it is a stiff-necked people:

¹³ A binde, Rabbi salaŋ ay se ka ne: «Ay di borey wo, guna mo dumi hanga sando no.

¹³Furthermore Jehovah spake unto me, saying, I have seen this people, and, behold, it is a stiffnecked people:

¹⁴let me alone, that I may destroy them, and blot out their name from under the sky; and I will make of you a nation mightier and greater than they.”

¹⁴ Ni ma fay d'ay, ay m'i halaci, ay m'i maa tuusu mo beena cire. Ay ma ni ciya dumi kaŋ gonda gaabi, kaŋ ga beeri mo ka bisa ngey.»

¹⁴let me alone, that I may destroy them, and blot out their name from under heaven; and I will make of thee a nation mightier and greater than they.

¹⁵So I turned and came down from the mountain, and the mountain was burning with fire: and the two tables of the covenant were in my two hands.

¹⁵ Kal ay bare ka zumbu ka fun tondo boŋ, tondo din kaŋ go ga di da danji. Sappa walhã hinka mo go ay kambe hinka ra.

¹⁵So I turned and came down from the mount, and the mount was burning with fire: and the two tables of the covenant were in my two hands.

¹⁶I looked, and behold, you had sinned against Yahweh your God; you had made yourselves a molten calf: you had turned aside quickly out of the way which Yahweh had commanded you.

¹⁶ Ay guna day, kal a go, araŋ na zunubi te Rabbi araŋ Irikoyo se, ka handayze fo soogu araŋ boŋ se. Araŋ tara ka kamba ka fonda kaŋ Rabbi n'araŋ lordi nd'a din taŋ.

¹⁶And I looked, and, behold, ye had sinned against Jehovah your God; ye had made you a molten calf: ye had turned aside quickly out of the way which Jehovah had commanded you.

¹⁷I took hold of the two tables, and cast them out of my two hands, and broke them before your eyes.

¹⁷ Ay na walhã hinka din di ay kamba hinka ra k'i catu k'i bagu-bagu araŋ jine.

¹⁷And I took hold of the two tables, and cast them out of my two hands, and brake them before your eyes.

¹⁸I fell down before Yahweh, as at the first, forty days and forty nights; I neither ate bread nor drank water; because of all your sin which you sinned, in doing that which was evil in the sight of Yahweh, to provoke him to anger.

¹⁸ Ay ye ka kaŋ ganda Rabbi jine mo, danga mate kaŋ ay te za jin-jina, ka to zaari waytaaci da cin waytaaci. Yana ŋwaari ŋwa, yana hari haŋ mo, araŋ zunubo kulu kaŋ araŋ te din sabbay se. Araŋ goy wo ga laala Rabbi diyaŋ gaa, k'a zokoti mo a ma te bine.

¹⁸And I fell down before Jehovah, as at the first, forty days and forty nights; I did neither eat bread nor drink water; because of all your sin which ye sinned, in doing that which was evil in the sight of Jehovah, to provoke him to anger.

¹⁹For I was afraid of the anger and hot displeasure, with which Yahweh was angry against you to destroy you. But Yahweh listened to me that time also.

¹⁹ Zama ay humburu dukuri nda futay korno, kaŋ Rabbi bine tun d'a araŋ se din, hal a ba k'araŋ halaci. Amma Rabbi ye ka hangan ay se saaya din ra koyne.

¹⁹For I was afraid of the anger and hot displeasure, wherewith Jehovah was wroth against you to destroy you. But Jehovah hearkened unto me that time also.

²⁰Yahweh was very angry with Aaron to destroy him: and I prayed for Aaron also at the same time.

²⁰ Rabbi te bine gumo Haruna se, ka ne nga g'a halaci, amma ay te adduwa Haruna mo se waato din.

²⁰And Jehovah was very angry with Aaron to destroy him: and I prayed for Aaron also at the same time.

²¹I took your sin, the calf which you had made, and burnt it with fire, and stamped it, grinding it very small, until it was as fine as dust: and I cast its dust into the brook that descended out of the mountain.

²¹ Kal ay n'araŋ zunubo sambu, danga handayzo kaŋ araŋ te din. Ay n'a ton da danji. Ay n'a tutubu k'a fufu hal a baan gumo, k'a te danga kusa cine. Ay na kusa din daŋ hari zuro ra kaŋ ga fun tondi kuuko ra.

²¹And I took your sin, the calf which ye had made, and burnt it with fire, and stamped it, grinding it very small, until it was as fine as dust: and I cast the dust thereof into the brook that descended out of the mount.

²²At Taberah, and at Massah, and at Kibroth Hattaavah, you provoked Yahweh to wrath.

²² Koyne, Tabera da Massa da Binikomey Saarayey kulu ra no araŋ na Rabbi zokoti a ma dukur.

²²And at Taberah, and at Massah, and at Kibroth-hattaavah, ye provoked Jehovah to wrath.

²³When Yahweh sent you from Kadesh Barnea, saying, “Go up and possess the land which I have given you”; then you rebelled against the commandment of Yahweh your God, and you didn’t believe him, nor listen to his voice.

²³ Woodin banda mo, waato kaŋ Rabbi n'araŋ donton araŋ ma fun Kades-Barneya ra, ka ne: «Wa kaaru ka koy ka laabo kaŋ ay n'araŋ no din ŋwa,» kulu araŋ murte Rabbi araŋ Irikoyo lordo gaa. Araŋ mana naanay a gaa, araŋ mana maa a sanno se mo.

²³And when Jehovah sent you from Kadesh-barnea, saying, Go up and possess the land which I have given you; then ye rebelled against the commandment of Jehovah your God, and ye believed him not, nor hearkened to his voice.

²⁴You have been rebellious against Yahweh from the day that I knew you.

²⁴ Araŋ wo murtanteyaŋ no Rabbi gaa za zaari sintina kaŋ ay g'araŋ bay.

²⁴Ye have been rebellious against Jehovah from the day that I knew you.

²⁵So I fell down before Yahweh the forty days and forty nights that I fell down, because Yahweh had said he would destroy you.

²⁵ A se no ay sombu Rabbi jine zaari waytaaci da cin waytaaca kaŋ ay sombu din, zama Rabbi ne nga g'araŋ halaci.

²⁵So I fell down before Jehovah the forty days and forty nights that I fell down, because Jehovah had said he would destroy you.

²⁶I prayed to Yahweh, and said, “Lord Yahweh, don’t destroy your people and your inheritance, that you have redeemed through your greatness, that you have brought out of Egypt with a mighty hand.

²⁶ Ay na Rabbi ŋwaaray mo ka ne: «Ya Rabbi, Koy Beero, ma si ni jama halaci. Ngey wo ni mayray hari no, nga kaŋ ni fansa da ni beera, kaŋ ni fatta nd'a mo i ma fun Misira ra da kambe gaabikooni.

²⁶And I prayed unto Jehovah, and said, O Lord Jehovah, destroy not thy people and thine inheritance, that thou hast redeemed through thy greatness, that thou hast brought forth out of Egypt with a mighty hand.

²⁷Remember your servants, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; don’t look to the stubbornness of this people, nor to their wickedness, nor to their sin,

²⁷ Ma fongu ni tamey gaa, Ibrahim da Isaka nda Yakuba. Ma si jama wo hanga sanda, wala i goy laaley, wala i zunubey guna.

²⁷Remember thy servants, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; look not unto the stubbornness of this people, nor to their wickedness, nor to their sin,

²⁸lest the land you brought us out from say, ‘Because Yahweh was not able to bring them into the land which he promised to them, and because he hated them, he has brought them out to kill them in the wilderness.’

²⁸ A ma si te ka ciya laabo kaŋ ra iri fatta din borey ma ne: ‹Zama Rabbi mana hin ka kand'ey hala laabo kaŋ a n'a alkawli sambu i se din ra, zama a konn'ey mo, a se no a n'i candi ka kond'ey saajo ra k'i wi noodin.›

²⁸lest the land whence thou broughtest us out say, Because Jehovah was not able to bring them into the land which he promised unto them, and because he hated them, he hath brought them out to slay them in the wilderness.

²⁹Yet they are your people and your inheritance, which you brought out by your great power and by your outstretched arm.”

²⁹ Kulu nda yaadin, ngey wo ni jama no, ni mayray hari mo no. Nin no k'i fattandi da ni dabari bambata, da ni kambe sallanta mo.»

²⁹Yet they are thy people and thine inheritance, which thou broughtest out by thy great power and by thine outstretched arm.
