Deuteronomy 26
1 It shall be, when you have come in to the land which the LORD your God gives you for an inheritance, possess it, and dwell in it,
Mgbe ị ga-aba nʼala ahụ Onyenwe anyị Chineke gị na-enye gị dịka ihe nketa, mgbe ị nwetara ya, birikwa nʼime ya,
2 that you shall take some of the first of all the fruit of the ground, which you shall bring in from your land that the LORD your God gives you. You shall put it in a basket, and shall go to the place which the LORD your God shall choose to cause his name to dwell there.
ị ga-ewere ụfọdụ nʼime mkpụrụ niile si nʼala ahụ Onyenwe anyị Chineke gị na-enye gị, tinye ya nʼime nkata, were ya gaa nʼebe ahụ Onyenwe anyị Chineke unu ga-ahọpụta, dịka ebe a kpọkwasịrị aha ya.
3 You shall come to the priest who shall be in those days, and tell him, “I profess today to the LORD your God, that I have come to the land which the LORD swore to our fathers to give us.”
Ị ga-agwakwa onye nchụaja nọ nʼọrụ nʼoge ahụ okwu sị: “Ana m ekwupụta taa nye Onyenwe anyị Chineke gị na abịala m nʼala ahụ Onyenwe anyị ṅụụrụ nna nna anyị ha nʼiyi inye anyị.”
4 The priest shall take the basket out of your hand, and set it down before the LORD your God’s altar.
Onye nchụaja ahụ ga-anara nkata ahụ, dọba ya nʼihu ebe ịchụ aja Onyenwe anyị Chineke gị.
5 You shall answer and say before the LORD your God, “My father was a Syrian ready to perish. He went down into Egypt, and lived there, few in number. There he became a great, mighty, and populous nation.
Mgbe ahụ, ị ga-ekwupụta nʼihu Onyenwe anyị Chineke gị sị, “Nna nna m bụ onye Aram na-awagharị awagharị, onye jere Ijipt izere ndụ. Ha dị ole na ole mgbe ha gara Ijipt, ma nʼIjipt ha ghọrọ mba dị ukwuu, ndị dị ike, na ndị bara ụba nʼọnụọgụgụ.
6 The Egyptians mistreated us, afflicted us, and imposed hard labor on us.
Ma ndị Ijipt mejọrọ anyị, mee ka anyị taa ahụhụ nʼihi ọrụ dị ike nke ha bokwasịrị anyị.
7 Then we cried to the LORD, the God of our fathers. The LORD heard our voice, and saw our affliction, our toil, and our oppression.
Mgbe ahụ, anyị tikuru Onyenwe anyị Chineke nna nna anyị. Onyenwe anyị nụrụ olu anyị, hụkwa mmegbu a na-emegbu anyị, na ndọgbu anyị na-adọgbu onwe anyị nʼọrụ, na ọnọdụ ọjọọ anyị.
8 The LORD brought us out of Egypt with a mighty hand, with an outstretched arm, with great terror, with signs, and with wonders;
Onyenwe anyị ji aka dị ike na ogwe aka o setịrị eseti, nʼọtụtụ ihe oke egwu na ọrụ ịrịbama, na ihe ebube, si nʼIjipt kpọpụta anyị.
9 and he has brought us into this place, and has given us this land, a land flowing with milk and honey.
Ọ kpọbatara anyị nʼebe a, nye anyị ala a, ala mmiri ara ehi na mmanụ aṅụ na-eru na ya.
10 Now, behold, I have brought the first of the fruit of the ground, which you, the LORD, have given me.” You shall set it down before the LORD your God, and worship before the LORD your God.
Ya mere, ugbu a, Onyenwe anyị, lee, ewebatala m mkpụrụ mbụ sitere nʼala i nyere m.” Dọba nkata ahụ nʼihu Onyenwe anyị Chineke gị, kpọọkwa isiala nye ya nʼebe ahụ.
11 You shall rejoice in all the good which the LORD your God has given to you, and to your house, you, and the Levite, and the foreigner who is among you.
Mgbe ahụ, gị na ndị Livayị, na ndị mbịarambịa bi nʼetiti unu, ga-aṅụrị ọṅụ nʼihe ọma niile Onyenwe anyị Chineke gị nyere gị na ezinaụlọ gị.
12 When you have finished tithing all the tithe of your increase in the third year, which is the year of tithing, then you shall give it to the Levite, to the foreigner, to the fatherless, and to the widow, that they may eat within your gates and be filled.
Nʼafọ nke atọ ọbụla, ị ga-enye onyinye pụrụ iche, onyinye otu ụzọ nʼụzọ iri, nke ihe ubi gị. Nʼafọ ahụ, ị ga-enye ndị Livayị, na ndị ọbịa, na ụmụ mgbei, na ndị inyom di ha nwụrụ, onyinye otu ụzọ nʼụzọ iri gị, ka ha rie ya nʼobodo gị dị iche iche, ka afọ jukwa ha.
13 You shall say before the LORD your God, “I have put away the holy things out of my house, and also have given them to the Levite, to the foreigner, to the fatherless, and to the widow, according to all your commandment which you have commanded me. I have not transgressed any of your commandments, neither have I forgotten them.
Ị ga-ekwupụta nʼihu Onyenwe anyị Chineke gị sị, “Esitela m nʼụlọ wepụ oke ahụ dị nsọ, nye ha ndị Livayị, na ndị ọbịa, na ụmụ mgbei, na ndị inyom di ha nwụrụ, dịka i nyere m nʼiwu, enupughị m isi maọbụ chefuo iwu gị ọbụla.
14 I have not eaten of it in my mourning, neither have I removed any of it while I was unclean, nor given of it for the dead. I have listened to the LORD my God’s voice. I have done according to all that you have commanded me.
Erighị m ihe ọbụla si nʼime ya mgbe m na-eru ụjụ maọbụ wepụ ihe ọbụla nʼime ya nʼọnọdụ adịghị ọcha m, ọ dịkwaghị nke m ji chụọrọ ndị nwụrụ anwụ aja. Egeela m ntị nʼolu Onyenwe anyị Chineke m, meekwa ihe niile i nyere m nʼiwu.
15 Look down from your holy habitation, from heaven, and bless your people Israel, and the ground which you have given us, as you swore to our fathers, a land flowing with milk and honey.”
Site nʼebe obibi nsọ gị dị nʼeluigwe ledata anya gị, gọzie ndị gị Izrel na ala a i nyere anyị, ala mmiri ara ehi na mmanụ aṅụ na-eru na ya, dịka i kwere nna nna anyị ha na nkwa.”
16 Today the LORD your God commands you to do these statutes and ordinances. You shall therefore keep and do them with all your heart and with all your soul.
Onyenwe anyị Chineke gị na-enye gị iwu taa si gị gbaso ụkpụrụ ndị a na iwu ndị a. Lezie anya hụ na i ji obi gị niile na mkpụrụobi gị niile debe ha.
17 You have declared today that the LORD is your God, and that you would walk in his ways, keep his statutes, his commandments, and his ordinances, and listen to his voice.
I kwupụtala taa na Onyenwe anyị bụ Chineke gị, i kweekwala nkwa na ị ga-ege ya ntị, debe iwu ya niile, na ụkpụrụ ya niile, na ị ga-emekwa ihe niile ọ sị gị mee.
18 The LORD has declared today that you are a people for his own possession, as he has promised you, and that you should keep all his commandments.
Taa kwa, Onyenwe anyị ekwupụtala na unu bụ ndị nke aka ya, dịka o kwere na nkwa, na ị ga-edebekwa ihe niile o nyere nʼiwu.
19 He will make you high above all nations that he has made, in praise, in name, and in honor, and that you may be a holy people to the LORD your God, as he has spoken.
O kwuru na ọ ga-emekwa ka i karịa mba niile o kere elu, nʼotuto, nʼaha, nsọpụrụ na ịja mma. Na unu ga-abụkwa mba dị nsọ nye Onyenwe anyị Chineke unu, dịka o kwere na nkwa.
