Deuteronomy 26
1 “And it has been, when you come into the land which your God YHWH is giving to you [for] an inheritance, and you have possessed it and dwelt in it,
Mgbe ị ga-aba nʼala ahụ Onyenwe anyị Chineke gị na-enye gị dịka ihe nketa, mgbe ị nwetara ya, birikwa nʼime ya,
2 that you have taken from the first of all the fruits of the ground, which you bring in out of your land which your God YHWH is giving to you, and have put [it] in a basket, and gone to the place which your God YHWH chooses to cause His Name to dwell there.
ị ga-ewere ụfọdụ nʼime mkpụrụ niile si nʼala ahụ Onyenwe anyị Chineke gị na-enye gị, tinye ya nʼime nkata, were ya gaa nʼebe ahụ Onyenwe anyị Chineke unu ga-ahọpụta, dịka ebe a kpọkwasịrị aha ya.
3 And you have come to the priest who is in those days, and have said to him, I have declared to your God YHWH today that I have come into the land which YHWH has sworn to our fathers to give to us;
Ị ga-agwakwa onye nchụaja nọ nʼọrụ nʼoge ahụ okwu sị: “Ana m ekwupụta taa nye Onyenwe anyị Chineke gị na abịala m nʼala ahụ Onyenwe anyị ṅụụrụ nna nna anyị ha nʼiyi inye anyị.”
4 and the priest has taken the basket out of your hand and placed it before the altar of your God YHWH.
Onye nchụaja ahụ ga-anara nkata ahụ, dọba ya nʼihu ebe ịchụ aja Onyenwe anyị Chineke gị.
5 And you have answered and said before your God YHWH, My father [is] a perishing Aramean! And he goes down to Egypt, and sojourns there with few men, and becomes a great, mighty, and populous nation there;
Mgbe ahụ, ị ga-ekwupụta nʼihu Onyenwe anyị Chineke gị sị, “Nna nna m bụ onye Aram na-awagharị awagharị, onye jere Ijipt izere ndụ. Ha dị ole na ole mgbe ha gara Ijipt, ma nʼIjipt ha ghọrọ mba dị ukwuu, ndị dị ike, na ndị bara ụba nʼọnụọgụgụ.
6 and the Egyptians do us evil, and afflict us, and put hard service on us;
Ma ndị Ijipt mejọrọ anyị, mee ka anyị taa ahụhụ nʼihi ọrụ dị ike nke ha bokwasịrị anyị.
7 and we cry to YHWH, God of our fathers, and YHWH hears our voice, and sees our affliction, and our labor, and our oppression;
Mgbe ahụ, anyị tikuru Onyenwe anyị Chineke nna nna anyị. Onyenwe anyị nụrụ olu anyị, hụkwa mmegbu a na-emegbu anyị, na ndọgbu anyị na-adọgbu onwe anyị nʼọrụ, na ọnọdụ ọjọọ anyị.
8 and YHWH brings us out from Egypt by a strong hand, and by an outstretched arm, and by great fear, and by signs, and by wonders,
Onyenwe anyị ji aka dị ike na ogwe aka o setịrị eseti, nʼọtụtụ ihe oke egwu na ọrụ ịrịbama, na ihe ebube, si nʼIjipt kpọpụta anyị.
9 and He brings us to this place, and gives this land to us—a land flowing with milk and honey.
Ọ kpọbatara anyị nʼebe a, nye anyị ala a, ala mmiri ara ehi na mmanụ aṅụ na-eru na ya.
10 And now, behold, I have brought in the first of the fruits of the ground which you have given to me, O YHWH. (And you have placed it before your God YHWH, and bowed yourself before your God YHWH,
Ya mere, ugbu a, Onyenwe anyị, lee, ewebatala m mkpụrụ mbụ sitere nʼala i nyere m.” Dọba nkata ahụ nʼihu Onyenwe anyị Chineke gị, kpọọkwa isiala nye ya nʼebe ahụ.
11 and rejoiced in all the good which your God YHWH has given to you and to your house—you, and the Levite, and the sojourner who [is] in your midst.)
Mgbe ahụ, gị na ndị Livayị, na ndị mbịarambịa bi nʼetiti unu, ga-aṅụrị ọṅụ nʼihe ọma niile Onyenwe anyị Chineke gị nyere gị na ezinaụlọ gị.
12 When you complete to tithe all the tithe of your increase in the third year, the year of the tithe, then you have given to the Levite, to the sojourner, to the fatherless, and to the widow, and they have eaten within your gates and been satisfied,
Nʼafọ nke atọ ọbụla, ị ga-enye onyinye pụrụ iche, onyinye otu ụzọ nʼụzọ iri, nke ihe ubi gị. Nʼafọ ahụ, ị ga-enye ndị Livayị, na ndị ọbịa, na ụmụ mgbei, na ndị inyom di ha nwụrụ, onyinye otu ụzọ nʼụzọ iri gị, ka ha rie ya nʼobodo gị dị iche iche, ka afọ jukwa ha.
13 and you have said before your God YHWH, I have put away the separated thing out of the house, and have also given it to the Levite, and to the sojourner, and to the orphan, and to the widow, according to all Your command which You have commanded me; I have not passed over from Your commands, nor have I forgotten.
Ị ga-ekwupụta nʼihu Onyenwe anyị Chineke gị sị, “Esitela m nʼụlọ wepụ oke ahụ dị nsọ, nye ha ndị Livayị, na ndị ọbịa, na ụmụ mgbei, na ndị inyom di ha nwụrụ, dịka i nyere m nʼiwu, enupughị m isi maọbụ chefuo iwu gị ọbụla.
14 I have not eaten of it in my affliction, nor have I put away of it for uncleanness, nor have I given of it for the dead; I have listened to the voice of my God YHWH; I have done according to all that You have commanded me;
Erighị m ihe ọbụla si nʼime ya mgbe m na-eru ụjụ maọbụ wepụ ihe ọbụla nʼime ya nʼọnọdụ adịghị ọcha m, ọ dịkwaghị nke m ji chụọrọ ndị nwụrụ anwụ aja. Egeela m ntị nʼolu Onyenwe anyị Chineke m, meekwa ihe niile i nyere m nʼiwu.
15 look from Your holy habitation, from the heavens, and bless Your people Israel and the ground which You have given to us, as You have sworn to our fathers—a land flowing [with] milk and honey.
Site nʼebe obibi nsọ gị dị nʼeluigwe ledata anya gị, gọzie ndị gị Izrel na ala a i nyere anyị, ala mmiri ara ehi na mmanụ aṅụ na-eru na ya, dịka i kwere nna nna anyị ha na nkwa.”
16 This day your God YHWH is commanding you to do these statutes and judgments; and you have listened and done them with all your heart and with all your soul.
Onyenwe anyị Chineke gị na-enye gị iwu taa si gị gbaso ụkpụrụ ndị a na iwu ndị a. Lezie anya hụ na i ji obi gị niile na mkpụrụobi gị niile debe ha.
17 Today you have proclaimed YHWH to be to you for God, that [you are] to walk in His ways, and to keep His statutes, and His commands, and His judgments, and to listen to His voice.
I kwupụtala taa na Onyenwe anyị bụ Chineke gị, i kweekwala nkwa na ị ga-ege ya ntị, debe iwu ya niile, na ụkpụrụ ya niile, na ị ga-emekwa ihe niile ọ sị gị mee.
18 And today YHWH has proclaimed you to be to Him for a people, a peculiar treasure, as He has spoken to you, that [you are] to keep all His commands,
Taa kwa, Onyenwe anyị ekwupụtala na unu bụ ndị nke aka ya, dịka o kwere na nkwa, na ị ga-edebekwa ihe niile o nyere nʼiwu.
19 so as to make you highest above all the nations whom He has made for a praise, and for a name, and for beauty, and for your being a holy people to your God YHWH, as He has spoken.”
O kwuru na ọ ga-emekwa ka i karịa mba niile o kere elu, nʼotuto, nʼaha, nsọpụrụ na ịja mma. Na unu ga-abụkwa mba dị nsọ nye Onyenwe anyị Chineke unu, dịka o kwere na nkwa.
