< Deuteronomy 13 >
1 “When a prophet or a dreamer of a dream arises in your midst, and he has given a sign or wonder to you,
Ọ bụrụ na onye amụma, maọbụ onye na-akọwa nrọ apụta nʼetiti gị kwee nkwa na ihe ịrịbama maọbụ ihe dị ebube na-aga ime,
2 and the sign and the wonder has come to pass, which he has spoken of to you, saying, Let us go after other gods (which you have not known) and serve them,
ọ bụrụkwa na ihe ịrịbama ahụ maọbụ ihe ebube ahụ e kwuru maka ya emezuo, emesịa onye amụma ahụ na-asị, “Ka anyị gbaso chi ndị ọzọ dị iche, ka anyị feekwa ha,” bụ chi ndị ị na-amaghị,
3 you do not listen to the words of that prophet or to that dreamer of the dream, for your God YHWH is trying you to know whether you are loving your God YHWH with all your heart and with all your soul;
egela okwu onye amụma maọbụ ọrọ nrọ ahụ ntị. Nʼihi na Onyenwe anyị bụ Chineke unu na-ele unu ule ịmata ma unu jikwa obi unu, na uche unu hụ ya nʼanya.
4 you walk after your God YHWH, and you fear Him, and you keep His commands, and you listen to His voice, and you serve Him, and you cleave to Him.
Ọ bụ Onyenwe anyị bụ Chineke unu ka unu ga-eso, naanị ya ka unu ga-atụ egwu. Debenụ iwu ya niile na-erubekwara ya isi, na-ejere ya ozi, jidesiekwa ya ike.
5 And that prophet or that dreamer of the dream is put to death, for he has spoken apostasy against your God YHWH (who is bringing you out of the land of Egypt, and has ransomed you out of a house of servants), to drive you out of the way in which your God YHWH has commanded you to walk, and you have put away evil from your midst.
A ga-egbu onye amụma ahụ maọbụ onye ọrọ nrọ ahụ nke chọrọ iduhie unu, nʼihi na ọ chọrọ iweta nnupu isi megide Onyenwe anyị bụ Chineke unu, onye kpọpụtara unu site nʼala Ijipt, onye gbapụtara unu site nʼọnọdụ ịbụ ndị ohu. Ihe ọ chọrọ ime bụ iduhie gị, ka ị ghara ibi ụdị ndụ ahụ Onyenwe anyị Chineke gị chọrọ ka i bie. Ọnwụ ya ga-eme ka i wezuga ihe ọjọọ site nʼetiti gị.
6 When your brother, son of your mother, or your son, or your daughter, or the wife of your bosom, or your friend who [is] as your own soul, moves you in secret, saying, Let us go and serve other gods (which you have not known, you and your fathers,
Ọ bụrụ na ezi enyi gị maọbụ nwanne gị nwoke maọbụ nwa gị nwoke maọbụ nwunye gị ị hụrụ nʼanya ejiri aghụghọ gwa gị okwu sị gị, “Bịa ka anyị gaa fee chi ndị ọzọ ofufe” (bụ chi ndị ị na-amaghị maọbụ nke nna gị ha na-amaghị,
7 of the gods of the peoples who [are] around you, who are near to you, or who are far off from you, from the end of the earth even to the [other] end of the earth),
chi nke ndị ala ahụ gbara unu gburugburu, ma ha bụ ndị bi gị nso ma ha bụ ndị bi nʼebe dị anya, site nʼotu nsọtụ nke ala ahụ ruo nsọtụ nke ọzọ),
8 you do not consent to him, nor listen to him, nor does your eye have pity on him, nor do you spare, nor do you cover him over.
ekwenyekwala maọbụ ṅaa ntị nʼihe ọ na-ekwu. Enwekwala obi ebere nʼebe ọ nọ, ekpuchikwala atụmatụ ọjọọ ya niile.
9 But you surely kill him; your hand is on him in the first place to put him to death, and the hand of all the people last;
Ị ghaghị igbu ha. Buru ụzọ setịpụ aka gị tụọ ya nkume, ka ndị ọzọ soro gị tugbuo ya.
10 and you have stoned him with stones and he has died, for he has sought to drive you away from your God YHWH, who is bringing you out of the land of Egypt, out of a house of servants;
Jiri nkume tugbuo ya, nʼihi na ọ chọrọ ime ka i site nʼiso Onyenwe anyị Chineke, wezuga onwe gị, ka ị pụọ, ma chigharịa site nʼiso ya, bụ Onyenwe anyị, onye mere ka i site nʼala Ijipt pụta, ala ebe ị nọ nʼime ya dịka ohu.
11 and all Israel hears and fears, and does not add to do like this evil thing in your midst.
Izrel niile ga-anụkwa banyere ihe ọjọọ o mere, ha ga-atụkwa ihe ọjọọ dị otu a egwu, ọ dịkwaghị onye ọbụla nʼetiti gị ga-achọkwa ime ihe ọjọọ dị otu ahụ.
12 When you hear [someone] in one of your cities, which your God YHWH is giving to you to dwell there, saying,
Mgbe i bi nʼobodo ndị ahụ Onyenwe anyị Chineke gị na-enye gị, ọ bụrụ na akụkọ esite nʼotu obodo ndị a ruo gị ntị sị,
13 Men, sons of worthlessness, have gone out of your midst, and they force away the inhabitants of their city, saying, Let us go and serve other gods (which you have not known),
na ụfọdụ ndị mmadụ jọgburu onwe ha eduhiela ndị obodo ha, na-asị, “Ka anyị gaa fee chi ndị ọzọ ofufe” (bụ chi ndị ị na-amaghị na mbụ),
14 then you have inquired, and searched, and asked diligently, and behold, [if] truth, the thing is established; this abomination has been done in your midst—
tupu i mee ihe ọbụla, ị ga-eburu ụzọ jụọ ase, jụpụta nke ọma, ma nyochapụta ma okwu ahụ ọ bụ eziokwu. Ọ bụrụ na ọ bụ eziokwu na-achọpụtakwara nʼihe arụ dị otu a mere nʼetiti unu,
15 you surely strike the inhabitants of that city by the mouth of the sword, devoting it and all that [is] in it, even its livestock, by the mouth of the sword.
ị ghaghị ibuso obodo ahụ agha jiri mma agha gbuo ndị mmadụ niile bi nʼime obodo ahụ. Ị ghaghị ibibi ya kpamkpam, ma ndị mmadụ ma anụ ụlọ ha.
16 And you gather all its spoil into the midst of its broad place, and have completely burned the city and all its spoil with fire for your God YHWH, and it has been a continuous heap, it is not built anymore;
Ihe nkwata niile i si nʼobodo ahụ kwata ka ị ga-ekpokọta nʼotu ebe, nʼama dị nʼetiti obodo ahụ. A ga-akpọkwa ha niile ọkụ, gbaakwa obodo ahụ niile ọkụ, dịka aja nsure ọkụ nye Onyenwe anyị bụ Chineke unu. Ruo mgbe ebighị ebi, obodo ahụ ga-abụ mkpọmkpọ ebe, a gaghị ewugharịkwa ya ọzọ.
17 and nothing from any of that [which is] devoted stays in your hand, so that YHWH turns back from the fierceness of His anger, and has given mercies to you, and loved you, and multiplied you, as He has sworn to your fathers,
Ọ dịghị ihe ndị ahụ e debere nye mbibi nke e kwesiri ịhụ nʼaka gị. Nke a ga-emekwa ka iwe ọkụ Onyenwe anyị dajụọ, ka o gosikwa gị obi ebere. Ọ ga-enwekwa ọmịiko nʼahụ gị, meekwa ka ị baa ụba nʼọnụọgụgụ, dịka o ji ịṅụ iyi kwee nna nna gị ha na nkwa.
18 because you listen to the voice of your God YHWH, to keep all his commands which I am commanding you today, to do that which [is] right in the eyes of your God YHWH.”
Onyenwe anyị Chineke gị ga-eme ihe ndị a ma ọ bụrụ na ị na-erubere ya isi, na-edebezukwa iwu ya niile, nke m na-enye gị taa, ma na-eme ihe ziri ezi nʼanya Onyenwe anyị Chineke gị.
