Deuteronomy 6
1 These are the commandments and rules and regulations that the Lord your God has ordered me to teach you to follow in the country that you're going to enter and occupy.
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 This is so you and your children and grandchildren will show respect to the Lord your God throughout your lives by keeping all his rules and regulations that I give you, and so that you may have a long life.
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 Listen, people of Israel, and be careful to observe them, so that you may do well and have many descendants in a land flowing with milk and honey, just as the Lord, the God of your forefathers, 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 Listen, people of Israel, The Lord our God, the Lord is the only one.
Nụrụ gị Izrel, Onyenwe anyị bụ Chineke anyị, Onyenwe anyị bụ otu.
5 You shall love the Lord your God with all your mind and with all your being 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 The commands I'm giving you today must stay in your minds.
Iwu ndị a m na-enye gị taa ka ị ga-eme ka ọ dịrị gị nʼobi.
7 You are to explain them carefully to your children and talk about them when you're at home and when you're traveling, 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 on your hands as reminders and put them on your foreheads as well.
Keenụ ha dịka ihe ịrịbama nʼelu aka unu, kekwasịkwa ha dịka ihe ncheta nʼegedege ihu unu.
9 Write them on the doorposts of your homes and on your gates.
Dee ha nʼelu ibo ọnụ ụzọ ụlọ gị na nke ọnụ ụzọ ama gị.
10 The Lord your God is going to take you into the country he promised to give you and your forefathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. It's a country with large, prosperous towns that you didn't 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 plenty of good things that you didn't provide, that have wells you didn't dig, and vineyards and olive groves that you did not plant. When you eat and are full
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 make sure you don't forget the Lord who led you out of Egypt, out of the prison-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 Respect the Lord your God only worship him, and only make promises 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 Don't worship any 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 because the Lord your God, who lives among you, is an exclusive God, and Lord your God will become angry with you, and he will wipe you out.
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 Don't test the Lord your God like you did at Massah.
Anwala Onyenwe anyị, bụ Chineke gị ọnwụnwa, dịka unu nwara ya na Masa.
17 You must be careful to keep the commandments of the Lord your God and the laws and rules he's 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's good and right in the Lord's sight so that it will go well for you and that you may enter and take over the good land that the Lord your God promised to give your forefathers,
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 He will drive out all your enemies ahead of you, just as he said.
Ka unu chụpụkwa ndị iro unu niile site nʼala ahụ, dịka Onyenwe anyị nʼonwe ya kwuru.
20 In the future, when your children come and ask you, “What's the point of decrees and rules and regulations that the Lord our God ordered you to follow?”
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 them, “Once we were slaves of Pharaoh in Egypt, but the Lord by his power led us out of Egypt.
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 very eyes the Lord brought down incredible and terrifying signs and miracles on Egypt, on Pharaoh, and on all his people.
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 led us out of there to take us here, giving us this country that he had promised to our forefathers.
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 The Lord ordered us to keep all these laws and to respect the Lord our God, so that we would always be safe and well, as we are today
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 carefully observe each of these commandments as we live in the presence of the Lord, as he instructed us, then we will be right with him.”
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.”
