< Deuteronomy 29 >
1 These [are] the words of the covenant, which the Lord commanded Moses to make with the children of Israel in the land of Moab, besides the covenant which he made with them in Choreb.
Ndị a bụ okwu nke ọgbụgba ndụ ahụ Onyenwe anyị nyere Mosis nʼiwu ka ya na ụmụ Izrel gbaa nʼala Moab na-agbanweghị ọgbụgba ndụ ahụ ya na ha gbara nʼugwu Horeb.
2 And Moses called all the sons of Israel and said to them, Ye have seen all things that the Lord did in the land of Egypt before you to Pharao and his servants, and all his land;
Mosis kpọkọtara ụmụ Izrel niile gwa ha okwu sị, Unu ji anya unu hụ ihe Onyenwe anyị mere nʼIjipt megide Fero, na ndị ozi ya, na ala ya niile.
3 the great temptations which thine eyes have seen, the signs, and those great wonders.
Anya unu hụrụ oke nwale niile, na ihe ịrịbama ndị ahụ, na ọrụ ebube niile ahụ.
4 Yet the Lord God has not given you a heart to know, and eyes to see, and ears to hear, until this day.
Ma tutu ruo taa, Onyenwe anyị enyebeghị unu obi nwere nghọta, na anya na-ahụ ụzọ, maọbụ ntị na-anụ ihe, nke ga-enyere unu aka ịṅomi ihe ndị a niile.
5 And he led you forty years in the wilderness; your garments did not grow old, and your sandals were not worn away off your feet.
Ma Onyenwe anyị na-asị, “Nʼime iri afọ anọ ndị ahụ nke m duuru unu nʼime ọzara, uwe unu emeghị ochie, akpụkpọụkwụ unu akapụghị nʼụkwụ unu.
6 Ye did not eat bread, ye did not drink wine or strong drink, that ye might know that I [am] the Lord your God.
Ọ dịghị achịcha unu riri, ọ dịkwaghị mmanya maọbụ ihe ọṅụṅụ na-aba nʼanya unu ṅụrụ. E mere m ihe ndị a ime ka unu mata na mụ onwe m bụ Onyenwe anyị Chineke unu.”
7 And ye came as far as this place; and there came forth Seon king of Esebon, and Og king of Basan, to meet us in war.
Mgbe unu rutere ebe a, Saịhọn, eze ndị Heshbọn, na Ọg, eze ndị Bashan, pụtara ibuso anyị agha, ma anyị lụgburu ha.
8 And we smote them and took their land, and I gave it for an inheritance to Ruben and Gad, and to the half-tribe of Manasse.
Anyị weere ala ha nye agbụrụ Ruben, na Gad, na otu ọkara ebo Manase, dịka ihe nketa ha.
9 And ye shall take heed to do all the words of this covenant, that ye may understand all things that ye shall do.
Nʼihi ya, lezie anya idebe ụkpụrụ niile nke ọgbụgba ndụ a, ka ihe niile unu na-eme gaara unu nke ọma.
10 Ye all stand to-day before the Lord your God, the heads of your tribes, and your elders, and your judges, and your officers, every man of Israel,
Unu niile, ndị ndu unu, na ndịisi unu, na okenye, na ndịisi ọchịchị, na ndị ikom niile nke Izrel, unu ndị guzo nʼihu Onyenwe anyị Chineke taa,
11 your wives, and your children, and the stranger who is in the midst of your camp, from your hewer of wood even to your drawer of water,
na ụmụntakịrị unu, na ndị nwunye unu, na ndị ọbịa bi nʼetiti unu, ndị na-egburu unu nkụ, na ndị na-echukwara unu mmiri.
12 that thou shouldest enter into the covenant of the Lord thy God and into his oaths, as many as the Lord thy God appoints thee this day;
Unu guzo nʼebe a taa ka unu na Onyenwe anyị Chineke gbaa ndụ. Unu guzokwa, maka ọgbụgba ndụ a unu na Onyenwe anyị na-agba taa, nke e ji ịṅụ iyi mesie ike,
13 that he may appoint thee to himself for a people, and he shall be thy God, as he said to thee, and as he sware to thy fathers, Abraam, and Isaac, and Jacob.
ime ka ọ pụta ìhè nye unu taa na unu bụ ndị nke ya, imekwa ka unu mata na ọ bụ Chineke unu, dịka o kwere nna nna unu ha, Ebraham, na Aịzik, na Jekọb na nkwa.
14 And I do not appoint to you alone this covenant and this oath;
Ọgbụgba ndụ a nke ya na ịṅụ iyi so nke m na-eme ka ọ dịrị abụghị naanị nʼihi unu,
15 but to those also who are here with you to-day before the Lord your God, and to those who are not here with you to-day.
ndị soro anyị guzo nʼebe a taa, nʼihu Onyenwe anyị Chineke anyị, kama ọ bụkwa nʼihi ndị ahụ na-anọghị nʼebe a.
16 For ye know how we dwelt in the land of Egypt, how we came through the midst of the nations through whom ye came.
Unu onwe unu maara otu anyị si bie nʼala Ijipt, na otu anyị si gafee mba ndị ahụ niile anyị gafere nʼụzọ.
17 And ye beheld their abominations, and their idols, wood and stone, silver and gold, which are among them.
Unu hụrụ nʼetiti ha ihe arụ ha niile, na arụsị niile e ji osisi, na nkume na ọlaọcha, na ọlaedo kpụọ.
18 Lest there be among you man, or woman, or family, or tribe, whose heart has turned aside from the Lord your God, having gone to serve the gods of these nations; lest there be in you a root springing up with gall and bitterness.
Lezienụ anya ka unu hụ na obi onye ọbụla nʼime unu, nwoke maọbụ nwanyị, agbụrụ maọbụ ebo ọbụla nʼIzrel, esighị nʼebe Onyenwe anyị bụ Chineke anyị nọ pụọ, bido chewe echiche ife chi ndị mba ọzọ ndị a niile. Lezienụ anya hụ na mgbọrọgwụ na-ewepụta nsi na-elu ilu dị otu a adịghị nʼetiti unu.
19 And it shall be if one shall hear the words of this curse, and shall flatter himself in his heart, saying, Let good happen to me, for I will walk in the error of my heart, lest the sinner destroy the guiltless with [him]:
Mgbe onye dị otu a nụrụ okwu ịṅụ iyi a, na ha ga-agọzi onwe ha, na-eche, “Ihe ga-agara m nke ọma, ọ bụ ezie na m nọgidere na-agbaso ụzọ isiike m.” Ha ga-eweta mbibi nye ala a gbara mmiri nke ọma nyekwa ala ahụ kpọrọ nkụ.
20 God shall by no means be willing to pardon him, but then the wrath of the Lord and his jealousy shall flame out against that man; and all the curses of this covenant shall attach themselves to him, which are written in this book, and the Lord shall blot out his name from under heaven.
Nʼihi na Onyenwe anyị agaghị agbaghara onye dị otu a! Iwe ya, na ekworo ya, ga-adị ọkụ megide nwoke ahụ. Ọbụbụ ọnụ niile e dere nʼime akwụkwọ a ga-abịakwasịkwa ya. Onyenwe anyị ga-ehichapụkwa aha ya, ka a ghara ịnụkwa ihe banyere ya nʼụwa.
21 And the Lord shall separate that man for evil of all the children of Israel, according to all the curses of the covenant that are written in the book of this law.
Onyenwe anyị ga-akpa oke nʼetiti ya na ebo niile nke Izrel, maka iwetara ya mbibi, dị ka ọbụbụ ọnụ niile nke ọgbụgba ndụ nke e dere nʼime Akwụkwọ Iwu a si dị.
22 And another generation shall say—even your sons who shall rise up after you, and the stranger who shall come from a land afar off, and shall see the plagues of that land and their diseases, which the Lord has sent upon it,
Mgbe ahụ, ụmụ unu ndị ga-eso unu nʼọgbọ ndị dị nʼihu, na ndị ọbịa si ebe dị anya bịa, ga-ahụ oke ihe otiti ọjọọ a bịakwasịrị ala a, ya na ọrịa niile Onyenwe anyị mere ka ọ bịakwasị ya.
23 brimstone and burning salt, (the whole land shall not be sown, neither shall any green thing spring, nor rise upon it, as Sodom and Gomorrha were overthrown, Adama and Seboim, which the Lord overthrew in his wrath and anger: )—
Ala ahụ niile ga-abụ ala nnu, nke ọkụ repịara, ala nke a na-adịghị akụ ihe ọbụla nʼime ya, ala na-adịghị amị mkpụrụ, nke ahịhịa na-adịghị epu nʼelu ya. Ala dịka ala Sọdọm na Gọmọra, na Adma, na Zeboiim, nke Onyenwe anyị sitere nʼoke iwe ya mebie.
24 and all the nations shall say, Why has the Lord done thus to this land? what [is] this great fierceness of anger?
Mba niile ga-ajụ sị, “Gịnị mere Onyenwe anyị ji mee ihe dị otu a nʼala a? Gịnị kpatara oke iwe ọkụ a?”
25 And [men] shall say, Because they forsook the covenant of the Lord God of their fathers, the things which he appointed to their fathers, when he brought them out of the land of Egypt:
Ọsịsa ya ga-abụ, “Ọ bụ nʼihi na ndị a hapụrụ idebe ọgbụgba ndụ ha na Onyenwe anyị, Chineke nke nna nna ha gbara, ọgbụgba ndụ ha na ya gbara mgbe o mere ka ha site nʼIjipt pụta.
26 and they went and served other gods, which they knew not, neither did he assign [them] to them.
Nʼihi na ha fere chi ndị ọzọ ofufe, kpọọkwa isiala nye ha, bụ chi ndị nke ha na-amaghị, chi ndị nke ọ na-enyeghị ha.
27 And the Lord was exceedingly angry with that land to bring upon it according to all the curses which are written in the book of this law.
Ọ bụ ya mere iwe Onyenwe anyị ji dị ọkụ megide ala a, meekwa ka o zidata nʼisi ha ọbụbụ ọnụ niile e dere nʼime akwụkwọ a.
28 And the Lord removed them from their land in anger, and wrath, and very great indignation, and cast them out into another land as at present.
Nʼoke iwe ya na ọnụma ya ka Onyenwe anyị ji hopu ha site nʼala ha, werekwa ha tụba nʼala ọzọ, dịka ọ dị ugbu a.”
29 The secret things [belong] to the Lord our God, but the things that are revealed [belong] to us and to our children for ever, to do all the words of this law.
Ihe niile e zoro ezo dịrị Onyenwe anyị Chineke anyị, ma ihe ndị ahụ niile e kpughere ekpughe dịịrị anyị, dịkwara ụmụ anyị ruo mgbe ebighị ebi, ka anyị nwee ike ịgbaso na imezu okwu niile nke iwu a.
