< Deuteronomy 23 >
1 “A eunuch, one whose testicles have been debilitated or cut off, or whose penis has been cut off, shall not enter into the church of the Lord.
Nwoke ọbụla echipịara mkpụrụ amụ ya, maọbụ nke e bipụrụ mkpụrụ amụ ya, agaghị esonye na mkpọkọta Onyenwe anyị.
2 The offspring of a harlot, that is, one born of a prostitute, shall not enter into the church of the Lord, until the tenth generation.
Nwa ọbụla a mụtara site nʼịkwa iko agakwaghị esonye na mkpọkọta Onyenwe anyị, ụmụ ụmụ ya, ruo nʼọgbọ nke iri, agakwaghị esonye na mkpọkọta Onyenwe anyị.
3 The Ammonite and the Moabite, even after the tenth generation, shall not enter into the church of the Lord forever,
Onye Amọn, maọbụ onye Moab, agaghị esonye na mkpọkọta Onyenwe anyị, ọ bụladị ruo nʼọgbọ nke iri ha.
4 because they were not willing to meet you with bread and water along the way, when you had departed from Egypt, and because they hired against you Balaam, the son of Beor, from Mesopotamia in Syria, in order to curse you.
Nʼihi na ha e jighị achịcha na mmiri bịa zute unu nʼụzọ mgbe unu si Ijipt pụta, ha goro Belam, nwa Beoa, onye si Petọ nke dị na Aram Naharaim, ka ọ bụọ unu ọnụ.
5 But the Lord your God was not willing to listen to Balaam, and he turned his cursing into your blessing, because he loves you.
Ma Onyenwe anyị Chineke gị egeghị Belam ntị, kama Onyenwe anyị Chineke gị gbanwere ịbụ ọnụ ahụ mee ka ọ ghọọrọ gị ngọzị, nʼihi na Onyenwe anyị Chineke gị hụrụ gị nʼanya.
6 You shall not make peace with them, nor shall you seek their prosperity, throughout all the days of your life forever.
Achọla udo ndị Amọn na Moab, na ọdịmma ha ụbọchị ndụ gị niile ruo mgbe ebighị ebi.
7 You shall not abhor anyone from Idumea, for he is your brother, nor the Egyptian, for you were a new arrival in his land.
Ma eledala ndị Edọm anya, nʼihi na ndị Edọm bụ ụmụnna unu. Unu eledala ndị Ijipt anya, nʼihi na unu biri dịka ndị ọbịa nʼime ala ha.
8 Those who have been born of them, in the third generation, shall enter into the church of the Lord.
Ụmụ a ga-amụrụ ha nʼọgbọ nke atọ ha nwere ike ịbata na mkpọkọta nke Onyenwe anyị.
9 When you have gone out to war against your enemies, you shall keep yourself from everything that is evil.
Mgbe unu mara ụlọ ikwu unu maka ibu agha megide ndị iro unu, wezuganụ onwe unu site nʼihe ọbụla na-adịghị ọcha.
10 If there is a man among you who has been defiled by a dream in the night, he shall depart from the camp.
Nwoke ọbụla nʼetiti gị nke na-adịghị ọcha site nʼịnyụ mkpụrụ nwa nʼahụ ya nʼabalị, ga-apụ gaa nọdụ nʼazụ ọmụma ụlọ ikwu.
11 And he shall not return before the evening, after he has washed with water, and then, after the sun sets, he shall return to the camp.
Ọ ga-anọ nʼebe ahụ ruo uhuruchi, emesịa, ọ ga-asa ahụ ya lọghachi nʼụlọ ikwu nʼanyasị.
12 You shall have a place beyond the camp to which you may go for the necessities of nature,
Ị ga-enwekwa otu ebe ndị gị ga-anọ jee nʼogwe ga-adị nʼazụ ọmụma ụlọ ikwu.
13 carrying a small shovel at your belt. And when you would sit down, you shall dig around, and then, with the soil that was dug up, you shall cover
Onye ọbụla nʼime unu ga-enwe shọvel dịka otu nʼime ngwa agha ya. Mgbe ọbụla kwa o jere nʼogwe, ọ ga-eji ya gwuo ala kpochie nsị ọ nyụrụ.
14 that from which you were relieved. For the Lord your God walks in the midst of your camp, in order to rescue you, and to deliver your enemies to you. And so, let your camp be holy, and let nothing filthy appear within it, lest he abandon you.
Ụlọ ikwu gị ga-adị nsọ, nʼihi na Onyenwe anyị Chineke gị na-ejegharị nʼetiti gị ichebe gị, na ịnapụta gị site nʼaka ndị iro gị. Onyenwe anyị achọghị ihu ihe ọbụla na-adịghị mma nʼanya, ka ọ ghara ịlaghachi azụ iso gị.
15 You shall not deliver a servant who has fled to you to his master.
Ọ bụrụ na ohu esite nʼaka onye nwe ya gbakwute unu, akwagidela ya ka ọ lọghachi,
16 He shall live with you in a place that pleases him, and he shall rest in one of your cities. You shall not grieve him.
hapụ ya ka o biri nʼetiti gị nʼime obodo ọbụla masịrị ya, emegbukwala ya.
17 There shall be no prostitutes among the daughters of Israel, nor anyone among the sons of Israel who visits a prostitute.
Ọ dịghị nwoke maọbụ nwanyị, onye Izrel ga-aghọ akwụna ụlọ arụsị.
18 You shall not offer money from a prostitute, nor the price of a dog, in the house of the Lord your God, no matter what you may have vowed. For both of these are an abomination with the Lord your God.
Ị gaghị ewebata nʼụlọ Onyenwe anyị Chineke gị, onyinye ọbụla site nʼego nwanyị na-agba akwụna kpatara, maọbụ site nʼego nwoke ahụ na-edebe onwe ya dịka akwụna nye ndị ikom ibe ya kpatara, iji mezuo nkwa ọbụla. Nʼihi na ha abụọ bụ ihe rụrụ arụ nʼanya Onyenwe anyị Chineke gị.
19 You shall not lend money, or grain, or anything else at all, to your brother at interest,
A nakwala onye Izrel ibe gị ọmụrụnwa, nʼihe ọbụla i binyere ya, maọbụ ego, maọbụ nri, ma ọ bụkwanụ ihe ọbụla ọzọ nwere ike ịmụta ọmụrụnwa.
20 but only to a foreigner. For you shall lend to your brother whatever he needs without interest, so that the Lord your God may bless you in all your works in the land, which you shall enter so as to possess it.
Onye mba ọzọ ka ị ga-ana ọmụrụnwa nʼihe i binyere ya, ọ bụghị onye Izrel ibe gị. Ka Onyenwe anyị bụ Chineke gị gọzie gị nʼihe niile i tinyere aka gị ime nʼala ahụ nke ị na-aba inweta.
21 When you have made a vow to the Lord your God, you shall not be late in paying it. For the Lord your God demands it. And if you delay, it shall be imputed to you as a sin.
Mgbe i kwere Onyenwe anyị bụ Chineke gị nkwa, alala azụ nʼịkwụghachi ya, nʼihi na Onyenwe anyị Chineke gị chọrọ ka ị kwụghachi nkwa gị ọsịịsọ. Ọ ga-abụkwara gị mmehie ma i meghị ya.
22 If you are not willing to make a promise, then it shall be without sin.
Ma ọ gaghị abụrụ gị mmehie ma ọ bụrụ na i kweghị nkwa ọbụla!
23 But as soon as it has departed from your lips, you shall observe and do just as you have promised to the Lord your God and just as you have spoken by your own free will and with your own mouth.
Ihe ọbụla nke i kwere na nkwa, jisie ike hụ na i mezuru nke ahụ dịka okwu gị si dị, nʼihi na ọ bụ onyinye afọ ofufu nye Onyenwe anyị Chineke gị.
24 Upon entering your neighbor’s vineyard, you may eat as many grapes as you please. But you may not carry any out with you.
Ọ bụrụ na ị banye nʼubi vaịnị onye agbataobi gị, i nwere ike ghọrọ mkpụrụ vaịnị ọbụla ị chọrọ rachaa nʼebe ahụ, ma etinyela mkpụrụ ọbụla nʼakpa gị.
25 If you enter into your friend’s grain field, you may break off the ears, and rub them in your hand, but you may not reap them with a sickle.”
Otu a kwa, ị banye nʼubi ọka onye agbataobi gị, ghọrọ mkpụrụ ọka ọbụla ị chọrọ nʼaka gị, nọọkwa nʼebe ahụ taa ya, ma ị gaghị etinye mma iwe ihe ubi nʼime ọka ha ndị guzoro eguzo.
