< Deuteronomy 6 >
1 Now these [are] the commandments, the statutes, and the judgments, which the LORD your God commanded to teach you, that ye might do [them] in the land whither ye go to possess it:
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 That thou mightest fear the LORD thy God, to keep all his statutes and his commandments, which I command thee, thou, and thy son, and thy son’s son, all the days of thy life; and that thy 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 therefore, O Israel, and observe to do [it; ] that it may be well with thee, and that ye may increase mightily, as the LORD God of thy fathers hath promised thee, in the land that floweth with milk and honey.
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 [is] one LORD:
Nụrụ gị Izrel, Onyenwe anyị bụ Chineke anyị, Onyenwe anyị bụ otu.
5 And thou shalt love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might.
Were obi gị niile, na mkpụrụobi gị niile, na uche gị na ike gị niile, hụ Onyenwe anyị Chineke gị nʼanya.
6 And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be in thine heart:
Iwu ndị a m na-enye gị taa ka ị ga-eme ka ọ dịrị gị nʼobi.
7 And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest 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 And thou shalt bind them for a sign upon thine hand, and they shall be as frontlets between thine eyes.
Keenụ ha dịka ihe ịrịbama nʼelu aka unu, kekwasịkwa ha dịka ihe ncheta nʼegedege ihu unu.
9 And thou shalt write them upon the posts of thy house, and on thy gates.
Dee ha nʼelu ibo ọnụ ụzọ ụlọ gị na nke ọnụ ụzọ ama gị.
10 And it shall be, when the LORD thy God shall have brought thee into the land which he sware unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give thee great and goodly cities, which thou buildedst not,
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 And houses full of all good [things], which thou filledst not, and wells digged, which thou diggedst not, vineyards and olive trees, which thou plantedst not; when thou shalt have eaten and be 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 [Then] beware lest thou forget the LORD, which brought thee forth out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage.
leruonu anya, ka unu ghara ichefu Onyenwe anyị, onye mere ka unu site nʼala Ijipt pụta, bụ ala ebe unu bụ ohu.
13 Thou shalt fear the LORD thy God, and serve him, and shalt swear by 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 Ye shall not go after other gods, of the gods of the people which [are] round about you;
Unu agbasola chi ndị ọzọ, bụ chi ndị niile a gbara unu gburugburu na-efe.
15 (For the LORD thy God [is] a jealous God among you) lest the anger of the LORD thy God be kindled against thee, and destroy thee from 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 Ye shall not tempt the LORD your God, as ye tempted [him] in Massah.
Anwala Onyenwe anyị, bụ Chineke gị ọnwụnwa, dịka unu nwara ya na Masa.
17 Ye shall diligently keep the commandments of the LORD your God, and his testimonies, and his statutes, which he hath commanded thee.
Lezienụ anya hụ na unu debere iwu niile na ụkpụrụ niile, na ihe ama niile Onyenwe anyị Chineke unu nyere unu.
18 And thou shalt do [that which is] right and good in the sight of the LORD: that it may be well with thee, and that thou mayest go in and possess the good land which the LORD sware unto thy 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 To cast out all thine enemies from before thee, as the LORD hath spoken.
Ka unu chụpụkwa ndị iro unu niile site nʼala ahụ, dịka Onyenwe anyị nʼonwe ya kwuru.
20 [And] when thy son asketh thee in time to come, saying, What [mean] the testimonies, and the statutes, and the judgments, which the LORD our God hath 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 thou shalt say unto thy son, We were Pharaoh’s bondmen in Egypt; and 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 And the LORD shewed signs and wonders, great and sore, upon Egypt, upon Pharaoh, and upon all his household, before our eyes:
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 And he brought us out from thence, that he might bring us in, to give us the land which he sware unto 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 do all these statutes, to fear the LORD our God, for our good always, that he might preserve us alive, as [it is] at 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 it shall be our righteousness, if we observe to do all these commandments before the LORD our God, as he hath commanded us.
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.”
