Deuteronomy 6
1 These are the commandments and statutes and ordinances that the LORD your God has instructed me to teach you to follow in the land that you are about to enter and possess,
Ndị a bụ iwu, na ụkpụrụ, na ikpe niile nke Onyenwe anyị bụ Chineke unu, nyere m nʼiwu ka a kuziere unu ka unu debe, nʼala ahụ unu na-agafe Jọdan inweta.
2 so that you and your children and grandchildren may fear the LORD your God all the days of your lives by keeping all His statutes and commandments that I give you, and so that your days may be prolonged.
Ihe e ji nye iwu ndị a bụ ka unu na ụmụ unu, na ụmụ ụmụ unu, tụọ egwu Onyenwe anyị bụ Chineke unu, site nʼidebe iwu ya, ogologo ndụ unu niile. Ọ bụrụ na unu emee ya, unu ga-enwe ndụ ogologo.
3 Hear, O Israel, and be careful to observe them, so that you may prosper and multiply greatly in a land flowing with milk and honey, just as the LORD, the God of your fathers, has promised you.
Nụrụ Izrel ma lezie anya nʼirube isi, ka ihe gaara unu nke ọma, ka unu baa ụba nke ukwuu nʼala ahụ mmiri ara ehi na mmanụ aṅụ na-eru nʼime ya, ọ bụladị dịka Onyenwe anyị Chineke nna nna unu ha kwere unu na nkwa.
4 Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God, the LORD is One.
Nụrụ gị Izrel, Onyenwe anyị bụ Chineke anyị, Onyenwe anyị bụ otu.
5 And you shall love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength.
Were obi gị niile, na mkpụrụobi gị niile, na uche gị na ike gị niile, hụ Onyenwe anyị Chineke gị nʼanya.
6 These words I am commanding you today are to be upon your hearts.
Iwu ndị a m na-enye gị taa ka ị ga-eme ka ọ dịrị gị nʼobi.
7 And you shall teach them diligently to your children and speak of them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up.
Ị ga-akụziri ya ụmụ gị. Kwuo okwu banyere ha mgbe ị na-anọdụ ala nʼụlọ gị, mgbe ị na-aga nʼokporoụzọ, mgbe ị na-edina ala na mgbe i si nʼihe ndina bilie.
8 Tie them as reminders on your hands and bind them on your foreheads.
Keenụ ha dịka ihe ịrịbama nʼelu aka unu, kekwasịkwa ha dịka ihe ncheta nʼegedege ihu unu.
9 Write them on the doorposts of your houses and on your gates.
Dee ha nʼelu ibo ọnụ ụzọ ụlọ gị na nke ọnụ ụzọ ama gị.
10 And when the LORD your God brings you into the land He swore to your fathers, to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, that He would give you—a land with great and splendid cities that you did not build,
Mgbe Onyenwe anyị Chineke ga-akpọbata unu nʼala ahụ ọ ṅụrụ iyi nye nna nna unu ha, bụ Ebraham, na Aịzik, na Jekọb, na inye unu, ala sara mbara nke jupụtara nʼobodo unu na-ewughị,
11 with houses full of every good thing with which you did not fill them, with wells that you did not dig, and with vineyards and olive groves that you did not plant—and when you eat and are satisfied,
na ụlọ ihe ọma dị iche iche jupụtara nʼime ya nke unu na-azụghị, na olulu mmiri unu na-egwughị nʼonwe unu, na ubi vaịnị na ọtụtụ osisi oliv unu na-amaghị ndị kụrụ ha, mgbe unu riri ihe rijuo afọ,
12 be careful not to forget the LORD who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery.
leruonu anya, ka unu ghara ichefu Onyenwe anyị, onye mere ka unu site nʼala Ijipt pụta, bụ ala ebe unu bụ ohu.
13 Fear the LORD your God, serve Him only, and take your oaths in His name.
Onyenwe anyị bụ Chineke gị, ka ị ga-atụ egwu, naanị ya ka ị ga-efe ofufe, ọ bụkwa aha ya ka ị ga-eji ṅụọ iyi.
14 Do not follow other gods, the gods of the peoples around you.
Unu agbasola chi ndị ọzọ, bụ chi ndị niile a gbara unu gburugburu na-efe.
15 For the LORD your God, who is among you, is a jealous God. Otherwise the anger of the LORD your God will be kindled against you, and He will wipe you off the face of the earth.
Nʼihi na Onyenwe anyị Chineke unu, onye nọ nʼetiti unu, bụ Chineke ekworo. Ọ ga-eme ka iwe ya dị ọkụ megide unu, ọ ga-ekpochapụkwa unu site nʼelu ụwa.
16 Do not test the LORD your God as you tested Him at Massah.
Anwala Onyenwe anyị, bụ Chineke gị ọnwụnwa, dịka unu nwara ya na Masa.
17 You are to diligently keep the commandments of the LORD your God and the testimonies and statutes He has given you.
Lezienụ anya hụ na unu debere iwu niile na ụkpụrụ niile, na ihe ama niile Onyenwe anyị Chineke unu nyere unu.
18 Do what is right and good in the sight of the LORD, so that it may be well with you and that you may enter and possess the good land that the LORD your God swore to give your fathers,
Meenụ ihe ziri ezi, na nke dị mma nʼanya Onyenwe anyị, ka ihe niile gaara unu nke ọma, ka unu nweekwa ike ịbanye, ma nweta ezi ala ahụ Onyenwe anyị ji ịṅụ iyi kwee nna nna unu ha na nkwa.
19 driving out all your enemies before you, as the LORD has said.
Ka unu chụpụkwa ndị iro unu niile site nʼala ahụ, dịka Onyenwe anyị nʼonwe ya kwuru.
20 In the future, when your son asks, “What is the meaning of the decrees and statutes and ordinances that the LORD our God has commanded you?”
Nʼoge na-abịa, mgbe nwa nwoke gị ga-ajụ gị sị, “Gịnị bụ isi ihe ama ndị a, na ụkpụrụ ndị a, na iwu ndị a Onyenwe anyị Chineke anyị nyere unu?”
21 then you are to tell him, “We were slaves of Pharaoh in Egypt, but the LORD brought us out of Egypt with a mighty hand.
Ị ga-aza ya sị, “Anyị bụrị ndị ohu Fero nʼala Ijipt, ma site nʼike ya dị ukwuu, Onyenwe anyị kpọpụtara anyị site nʼala Ijipt.
22 Before our eyes the LORD inflicted great and devastating signs and wonders on Egypt, on Pharaoh, and on all his household.
Nʼihu anyị, Onyenwe anyị zipụrụ ọtụtụ ihe ịrịbama dị iche iche na ihe ebube dị iche iche, dị ukwuu jọọkwa njọ nʼahụ Ijipt na eze Fero nakwa ndị ụlọ ya niile.
23 But He brought us out from there to lead us in and give us the land that He had sworn to our fathers.
Ma o mere ka anyị site nʼIjipt pụta, ịkpọbata na inye anyị ala ahụ o ji ịṅụ iyi kwee nna nna anyị ha na nkwa.
24 And the LORD commanded us to observe all these statutes and to fear the LORD our God, that we may always be prosperous and preserved, as we are to this day.
Nʼihi ya ka Onyenwe anyị ji nye anyị iwu ka anyị debe ụkpụrụ ndị a niile, na-atụ Onyenwe anyị Chineke anyị egwu, ka anyị bụrụ ndị ihe ga-agara nke ọma ụbọchị niile, ndị a na-edebe ndụ, dịka ọ dị taa.
25 And if we are careful to observe every one of these commandments before the LORD our God, as He has commanded us, then that will be our righteousness.”
Ọ bụrụ na anyị elezie anya debe iwu ndị a niile Onyenwe anyị Chineke anyị nyere anyị, dịka o nyere anyị nʼiwu, anyị ga-abụ ndị na-ejegharị nʼezi omume.”
