Deuteronomy 16
1 You are to observe the month of Abib and to celebrate the Passover to the Lord your God, because it was in the month of Abib that the Lord your God led you out of Egypt by night.
Debe ọnwa Abib iche maka ime Mmemme Ngabiga Onyenwe anyị Chineke gị, nʼihi na ọ bụ nʼọnwa Abib ka Onyenwe anyị Chineke gị mere ka i si nʼala Ijipt pụta nʼabalị.
2 The Passover sacrifice from your herd or flock must be offered to the Lord your God in the place where the Lord will choose to live with you.
Ị ga-eji anụ si nʼigwe atụrụ na ehi gị chụọrọ Onyenwe anyị Chineke gị aja ngabiga nʼebe ahụ Onyenwe anyị ga-ahọpụta dịka ebe obibi nye aha ya.
3 Don't eat ordinary bread with it. For seven days you are to eat bread made without yeast with it, the bread of hardship, because you had to leave Egypt in such a hurry. This way you'll remember day you left Egypt for the rest of your lives.
Erila ya na achịcha e ji ihe na-eko achịcha mee, kama ụbọchị asaa ka ị ga-eri achịcha na-ekoghị eko, ya bụ, achịcha ahụhụ, iji cheta na i si nʼala Ijipt pụta ngwangwa. Nke a ga-eme ka i nwee ike na-echeta mgbe i sitere nʼala Ijipt pụta, ụbọchị niile nke ndụ.
4 Don't have yeast anywhere in your country for seven days. Don't keep any of the meat that you sacrifice on the evening of the first day until the morning.
Ka ihe ọbụla na-eko achịcha ghara ịbata nʼezinaụlọ gị abalị asaa ndị ahụ. Unu ahapụkwala anụ ọbụla unu chụrụ nʼaja nʼoge uhuruchi nke ụbọchị mbụ, nọọ ruo ụtụtụ.
5 Don't sacrifice the Passover animal in any of the towns that the Lord your God is giving you.
Ị gaghị achụ aja ngabiga nʼobodo ọbụla Onyenwe anyị Chineke gị nyere gị,
6 The Passover sacrifice must be offered by you only at the place where the Lord your God will choose to live with you. You are to do this in the evening at sunset-the same time you left Egypt.
karịakwa nʼebe ahụ Onyenwe anyị Chineke gị họpụtara dịka ebe obibi nye ya ka i ga-anọ chụọ ya. Nʼebe ahụ ka ị ga-achụ aja ngabiga gị nʼoge uhuruchi, mgbe anwụ dachara, nʼoge mgbe dịka oge ụbọchị ahụ i sitere nʼIjipt pụta.
7 Cook it and eat it in the place the Lord your God will choose. Then in the morning go back to your tents.
Ị ga-ahụ ya nʼọkụ riekwa ya nʼebe ahụ Onyenwe anyị bụ Chineke ga-ahọpụta. Nʼụtụtụ, ị ga-alaghachikwa nʼụlọ ikwu gị.
8 Eat bread without yeast for six days, and the on the seventh day you are to have a holy meeting to honor the Lord your God. You are not to do any work.
Ụbọchị isii ka ị ga-eri achịcha na-ekoghị eko, nʼụbọchị nke asaa, nweenụ mkpọkọta nye Onyenwe anyị Chineke gị, arụkwala ọrụ ọbụla.
9 Count off seven weeks from when you start the grain harvest.
Gụpụta izu asaa site na mgbe ị malitere itinye mma iwe ihe ubi nʼukwu ọka guzoro eguzo nʼubi gị.
10 Then celebrate the Festival of Weeks to honor him the Lord your God by giving him a freewill offering, depending on just how much the Lord your God has blessed you.
Meenụ Mmemme Izu Ụka asaa nye Onyenwe anyị, bụ Chineke gị, site na inye onyinye afọ ofufu, nʼusoro ọtụtụ ngọzị Onyenwe anyị bụ Chineke gị ji gọzie gị.
11 You will celebrate in the Lord's presence in the place where he will choose to live with you. This includes you, your sons and daughters, your male and female slaves, and the Levites who live in your towns, as well as the foreigners, orphans, and widows among you.
Ọ bụ oge ịṅụrị ọṅụ nye gị na ụmụ gị ndị ikom na ndị inyom, ndị ohu gị nwoke na nwanyị, ndị Livayị bi nʼobodo gị, ndị ọbịa, ndị na-enweghị nna na ndị inyom di ha nwụrụ bi nʼetiti gị. Meenụ nke a nʼihu Onyenwe anyị Chineke gị, nʼebe ahụ ọ họpụtara dịka ebe obibi nye aha ya.
12 Don't forget that you were once slaves in Egypt, and be careful to follow these regulations.
Cheta na ị bụrị ohu nʼala Ijipt, nʼihi nke a, unu echefula iwu ndị a.
13 Celebrate the Festival of Shelters for seven days once you have finished threshing your grain and pressing your grapes.
Mmenụ mmemme ụlọ Ikwu. Unu aghaghị ime ya ụbọchị asaa mgbe unu wechara ihe ubi, ya bụ, mgbe unu chịkọtachara ọka site nʼebe ịzọcha ọka, nakwa ebe ịzọcha mmanya unu niile
14 Enjoy your feast—you, your sons and daughters, your male and female slaves, and the Levites who live in your towns, as well as the foreigners, orphans, and widows among you.
Ọ bụ oge ịṅụrị ọṅụ, nye gị onwe gị, ụmụ ndị ikom na ndị inyom gị, ndị odibo nwoke na nwanyị unu niile, ndị Livayị, ndị ọbịa, ụmụ mgbei na ụmụ nwanyị niile di ha nwụrụ anwụ ndị bi nʼobodo gị niile.
15 Celebrate this Festival for seven days to honor the Lord your God in the place he will choose, because the Lord your God will bless your whole harvest and everything you do, so you will be really happy.
A ga-eme mmemme a nye Onyenwe anyị Chineke gị ụbọchị asaa nʼebe ahụ Onyenwe anyị nʼonwe ya họpụtara. Nʼihi na Onyenwe anyị Chineke gị ga-agọzi ihe ubi gị niile, gọziekwa akaọrụ gị niile, ime ka ọṅụ gị zuo oke.
16 All your men must come before the Lord your God in the place He will choose three times every year: the Festival of Bread without Yeast, the Festival of Weeks, and the Festival of Shelters. No one should come before the Lord without an offering.
Ugboro atọ nʼafọ ka ndị ikom unu niile aghaghị ịbịa chee onwe ha nʼihu Onye kachasị ihe niile elu, bụ Onyenwe anyị unu, nʼebe ọ ga-ahọpụta: nʼoge mmemme ndị a: Mmemme Achịcha na-ekoghị eko, Mmemme Izu Ụka asaa na Mmemme Ụlọ Ikwu. Ọ dịghị onye ọbụla ga-agba aka efu bịa nʼihu Onyenwe anyị.
17 Each of you is to bring whatever gift you can, depending on how much the Lord your God has blessed you.
Onye ọbụla ga-eweta onyinye dịka o nwere ike na dịka Onyenwe anyị Chineke gị sị gọzie ya.
18 Choose judges and officials for each of your tribes in every town that the Lord your God is giving you. They must judge the people fairly.
Ị ga-ahọpụta ndị ikpe, na ndịisi ozi nʼebo niile, na nʼobodo ọbụla Onyenwe anyị Chineke gị na-enye gị. Ha ga-eme ka ezi ikpe dịrị ndị mmadụ niile.
19 Don't pervert justice or show favoritism. Don't take a bribe, for a bribe blinds the wise and twists the words of the truthful.
Ekpekwala ikpe aghụghọ, maọbụ kpee ikpe ile mmadụ anya nʼihu. Erikwala ngarị, nʼihi na iri ngarị na-eme ka anya onye amamihe kpuo ìsì, meekwa ka okwu onye aka ya dị ọcha gbagọọ agbagọ.
20 Always do what is right and just, so that you may go on living, occupying the land that the Lord your God is giving you.
Gbasoo ikpe ziri ezi, mee ka ikpe ziri ezi dịgide, ka ị dịrị ndụ, nweta ala ahụ Onyenwe anyị Chineke gị na-enye gị.
21 Don't ever set up a wooden Asherah pole next to the altar you build for the Lord your God,
Amanyela oyiyi osisi chi Ashera ọbụla gị nʼakụkụ ebe ịchụ aja ị wuru nye Onyenwe anyị Chineke gị.
22 and don't make for yourselves an idolatrous stone pillar, which the Lord your God hates.
Eguzokwala ogidi nkume ọbụla nʼihi na ha bụ ihe Onyenwe anyị Chineke gị kpọrọ asị.
