Deuteronomy 8
1 “All the command which I am commanding you today you observe to do, so that you live, and have multiplied, and gone in, and possessed the land which YHWH has sworn to your fathers;
Lezie anya hụ na i debezuru iwu ndị a niile m nyere gị taa. Ọ bụrụ na i debe ha, ọ bụghị naanị na ị ga-adị ndụ, kama ị ga-amụba, banyekwa inweta ala ahụ Onyenwe anyị kwere nna nna gị ha na nkwa.
2 and you have remembered all the way which your God YHWH has caused you to go these forty years in the wilderness, in order to humble you to try you, to know that which [is] in your heart, whether you keep His commands or not.
Chetakwa otu Onyenwe anyị bụ Chineke gị si duo gị nʼime ọzara iri afọ anọ ndị a niile. O wedara mmụọ gị ala, nwakwaa gị ọnwụnwa ịmata ihe dị gị nʼobi, ịchọpụta ma ị ga-edebekwa iwu ya.
3 And He humbles you, and causes you to hunger, and causes you to eat the manna (which you have not known, even your fathers have not known), in order to cause you to know that man does not live by bread alone, but man lives by everything proceeding [from] the mouth of YHWH.
E, o wedatara mmụọ gị ala mgbe o mere ka ihe oriri kọ gị, mgbe o mere ka i rie mánà, nri ahụ gị na nna gị na-amaghị ihe ọ bụ. O mere nke a igosi gị na izi gị na ọ bụghị naanị achịcha ka mmadụ ga-eji dị ndụ, kama ọ bụ nʼokwu niile nke si nʼọnụ Onyenwe anyị pụta.
4 Your raiment has not worn out from off you, and your foot has not swelled these forty years,
Iri afọ anọ ndị a niile, uwe gị akaghị nka, ụkwụ gị azakwaghị aza.
5 and you have known with your heart that as a man disciplines his son, your God YHWH is disciplining you,
Nʼihi ya, mata nke a nʼobi gị, na dịka nna si adọ nwa ya aka na ntị, otu a ka Onyenwe anyị bụ Chineke gị si adọ gị aka na ntị.
6 and you have kept the commands of your God YHWH, to walk in His ways and to fear Him.
Debe iwu Onyenwe anyị Chineke gị. Na-ejegharị ije nʼụzọ ya, ma na-atụkwa ya egwu.
7 For your God YHWH is bringing you into a good land, a land of brooks of waters, of fountains, and of depths coming out in valley and in mountain;
Nʼihi na Onyenwe anyị Chineke gị na-ewebata gị nʼala mara mma, bụ ala nwere iyi, na ọdọ mmiri, ala nwere mmiri nke si nʼime ya na-asọpụta asọgharị nʼugwu na ndagwurugwu,
8 a land of wheat, and barley, and vine, and fig, and pomegranate; a land of oil olive and honey;
ọ bụ ala na-epu ọka wiiti na ọka balị, na osisi vaịnị, na osisi fiig, na osisi pomegranet, na mmanụ oliv, na mmanụ aṅụ.
9 a land in which you eat bread without scarcity—you do not lack anything in it; a land whose stones [are] iron, and you dig bronze out of its mountains.
Ọ bụkwa ala jupụtara nʼihe oriri, ebe a na-agaghị enwe ụkọ nri. Ọ bụ ala ebe igwe jupụtara nʼime ya dị ka ha bụ nkume, ala ebe ọla jupụtakwara nʼugwu ya niile.
10 And you have eaten and been satisfied, and have blessed your God YHWH on the good land which he has given to you.
Mgbe i riri rijuo afọ, too Onyenwe anyị Chineke gị nʼihi ala mara mma nke o nyere gị.
11 Take heed to yourself lest you forget your God YHWH so as not to keep His commands, and His judgments, and His statutes which I am commanding you today;
Ma lezie anya ka ị ghara ichefu Onyenwe anyị Chineke gị, na-edebeghị iwu ya niile, na ikpe ya niile, na ụkpụrụ ya niile, nke m na-enye gị taa.
12 lest you eat and have been satisfied, and build good houses and have inhabited [them],
Ka ọ ghara ị bụ, mgbe i riri rijuru afọ, mgbe i wuuru onwe gị ezi ụlọ dị mma birikwa nʼime ha,
13 and your herd and your flock are multiplied, and silver and gold are multiplied to you, and all that is yours is multiplied,
mgbe igwe ehi na igwe atụrụ gị mụbara, mgbe ọlaọcha na ọlaedo gị mụbara, na mgbe ihe niile i nwere mụbara.
14 and your heart has been high, and you have forgotten your God YHWH who is bringing you out of the land of Egypt, out of a house of servants;
Kpachara anya hụ na nganga abanyeghị gị nʼobi, ime ka i chefuo Onyenwe anyị Chineke gị onye mere ka ị site nʼIjipt, sitekwa nʼala ịbụ ohu pụta.
15 who is causing you to go in the great and the terrible wilderness [with] burning serpent, and scorpion, and thirst—where there is no water; who is bringing out waters to you from the flinty rock;
Onye duuru gị nʼime ọzara ukwu ahụ dị egwu, ebe agwọ ọjọọ na akpị jupụtara, ebe na-ekpo ọkụ, nke mmiri na-adịghị. O sitere na nkume nye gị mmiri ọṅụṅụ
16 who is causing you to eat manna in the wilderness, which your fathers have not known, in order to humble you, and in order to try you, to do you good in your latter end;
O ji mánà nyejuo gị afọ nʼọzara, mánà ahụ nna gị ha na-amaghị ihe ọ bụ na mbụ. O mere ya nʼihi iweda mmụọ gị ala, na ịnwale gị, ka ihe si otu a gaara gị nke ọma.
17 and you have said in your heart, My power and the might of my hand have made this wealth for me.
I nwere ike kwuo sị, “Ọ bụ site nʼike aka m ka m ji baa ụba.”
18 And you have remembered your God YHWH, for it [is] He who is giving power to you to make wealth, in order to establish His covenant which He has sworn to your fathers, as [at] this day.
Ma cheta Onyenwe anyị Chineke gị, nʼihi na ọ bụ ya onwe ya na-enye gị ike i ji akpata akụ, ime ka ọgbụgba ndụ ya guzosie ike, bụ nke ọ ṅụrụ nna nna gị ha nʼiyi, dịka ọ dị taa.
19 And it has been, if you really forget your God YHWH, and have gone after other gods, and served them, and bowed yourself to them, I have testified against you today that you utterly perish.
Ma ọ bụrụ na i chefuo Onyenwe anyị bụ Chineke gị, gbasoo chi ndị ọzọ, fee ha ofufe ma kpọọkwa isiala nye ha, ana m agba ama megide gị taa na ị ghaghị ịla nʼiyi.
20 As the nations whom YHWH is destroying from your presence, so you perish, because you do not listen to the voice of your God YHWH.”
Ọ bụrụ na unu egeghị ntị nʼolu Onyenwe anyị Chineke unu, ime ihe ọ chọrọ, ọ ga-ala unu nʼiyi, dịka o si bibie mba ndị a niile dị iche iche ọ na-ebibi nʼihi unu.
